Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance and Indemnification For not less than six (6) years from and after the Effective Date, Aon agrees to indemnify and hold harmless all individuals who at or prior to the Effective Time are past or present directors, officers or employees of WTW or WTW Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against any costs or expenses (including advancing attorneys’ fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any actual or threatened claim, suit, proceeding or investigation to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law; provided such Indemnified Party agrees in advance to return any such funds to which a court of competent jurisdiction has determined in a final, nonappealable judgment such Indemnified Party is not ultimately entitled), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, investigation, suit or proceeding in respect of acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the Acquisition or any of the other Transactions), whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, in connection with such persons serving as an officer, director, employee or other fiduciary of WTW or any of the WTW Subsidiaries or of any Person if such service was at the request or for the benefit of WTW or any of the WTW Subsidiaries, to the fullest extent permitted by Law or provided pursuant to WTW Governing Documents or the organizational documents of any WTW Subsidiary or any indemnification agreements, if any, in existence on the date of this Agreement. The Parties agree that all rights to elimination of liability, indemnification and advancement of expenses for acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, now existing in favor of the Indemnified Parties as provided in their respective certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or comparable organizational documents) or in any agreement shall survive the Acquisition and shall continue in full force and effect. For six (6) years after the Effective Time, Aon shall cause to be maintained in effect the provisions in (i) WTW Governing Documents and the organizational documents of any WTW Subsidiary and (ii) any other agreements of WTW and WTW Subsidiaries with any Indemnified Party, in each case, regarding elimination of liability, indemnification of officers, directors and employees and advancement of expenses that are in existence on the date of this Agreement, and no such provision shall be amended, modified or repealed in any manner that would adversely affect the rights or protections thereunder of any such Indemnified Party in respect of acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the Acquisition or any of the other Transactions). Aon shall cause for an aggregate period of not less than six (6) years from the Effective Date, the purchase of an insurance and indemnification policy in favor of WTW’s current directors and officers that provides coverage for events occurring prior to the Effective Time (the “D&O Insurance”) that is no less favorable that WTW’s existing policy or, if insurance coverage that is no less favorable is unavailable, the best available coverage; provided, however, that WTW shall not be required to pay an annual premium for the D&O Insurance in excess of three-hundred (300%) of the last annual premium paid prior to the date of this Agreement (it being understood that Aon shall nevertheless be obligated to provide as much coverage as may be obtained for such amount); provided further that WTW may prior to the Effective Time substitute therefor a single premium six-year tail coverage with respect to D&O Insurance with an annual cost not in excess of three-hundred (300%) of the last annual premium paid prior to the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Indemnified Party notifies Aon on or prior to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time of a matter in respect of which such Person may seek indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.4, the provisions of this Section 8.4 shall continue in effect with respect to such matter until the final disposition of all claims, actions, investigations, suits and proceedings relating thereto. In the event following the Effective Time Aon or any of its respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Aon, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 8.4. The rights and obligations under this Section 8.4 shall survive consummation of the Acquisition and shall not be terminated or amended in a manner that is adverse to any Indemnified Party without the written consent of such Indemnified Party. The provisions of this Section 8.4 are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party, his or her heirs and his or her legal representatives.
Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance (a) The Company shall, and from and after the Effective Time, CSLC and the Surviving Entity shall, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each person who is now, or at any time prior to the date hereof has been or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, an officer, director or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the "Indemnified Parties") from and against (i) all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses, liabilities or judgments or amounts that are paid in settlement with the approval of the indemnifying party (which approval shall not unreasonably be withheld) of or in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding, case or investigation ("Action") based in whole or in part on or arising in whole or in part out of or in connection with the fact that such person is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, whether pertaining to any matter existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time and whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time ("Indemnified Liabilities") and (ii) all Indemnified Liabilities based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Merger or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, in each case to the fullest extent a corporation is permitted under applicable law to indemnify its own directors, officers and employees, as the case may be and CSLC and the Surviving Entity, as the case may be, shall pay expenses in advance of the final disposition of any such action or proceeding to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law upon receipt of any undertaking contemplated by applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, if any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation is commenced or instituted against any Indemnified Party (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), (i) the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel satisfactory to them and the Company (or satisfactory to them and CSLC and the Surviving Entity after the Effective Time); (ii) the Company (or after the Effective Time, CSLC and the Surviving Entity) shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties promptly as reasonably itemized statements therefor are received; and (iii) the Company (or after the Effective Time, CSLC and the Surviving Entity) shall use best efforts to assist in the vigorous defense of any such matter, provided that neither the Company, CSLC nor the Surviving Entity shall be liable for any settlement of any claim effected without its written consent (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld). Any Indemnified Party electing to claim indemnification under this Section 5.9, upon learning of any such Action, shall promptly notify the Company, CSLC or the Surviving Entity of such election (but the failure so to notify the Company shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 5.9, except to the extent such failure materially prejudices it or if it otherwise forfeits substantive rights and defenses as a result of such failure), and shall deliver to the Company (or after the Effective Time, to CSLC and the Surviving Entity) the undertaking contemplated by applicable law. The Indemnified Parties as a group may retain only one firm of legal counsel to represent them with respect to each such matter unless there is, under applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict in respect of any significant issue between the positions of any two or more Indemnified Parties.
Indemnification and Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance (a) From and after the Closing, Acquiror shall, and shall cause the Company to, indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director/manager and officer of Acquiror, the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries, or any individual who, at any time prior to the Closing, is or was serving at the request of Acquiror, the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries as a director/manager or officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any Action, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing and relating to the fact that such Person was a director/manager or officer of Acquiror, the Company, or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, to the fullest extent that Acquiror, the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries would have been permitted under applicable Law and their respective certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents in effect on the Original Agreement Date to indemnify such Person in its capacity as a director/manager or officer (including, within twenty (20) days after any written request is received by Acquiror, the advancing of expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under such organizational documents or under any employment or indemnification agreement set forth on Schedule 7.01(a), which such advancement right shall include any expenses incurred by such Person in connection with enforcing any rights to indemnification under this Section 7.01, in each case, without the requirement of any bond or security). Without limiting the foregoing, Acquiror shall, and shall cause the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries to, (i) maintain for a period of not less than six years from the Closing provisions in its respective certificate of incorporation, bylaws and other organizational documents concerning the indemnification and exoneration (including provisions relating to expense advancement) of officers and directors/managers that are no less favorable to those Persons than the provisions of such certificates of incorporation, bylaws and other organizational documents as of the Original Agreement Date and (ii) not amend, repeal or otherwise modify such provisions in any respect that would adversely affect the rights of those Persons thereunder, in each case, except as required by Law. All rights to indemnification and advancement conferred under this Section 7.01 shall continue as to any indemnified Person who has ceased to be a director/manager or officer of Acquiror, the Company or the Company’s Subsidiaries at or after the Closing and inure to the benefit of such person’s heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives.
Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance (a) For a period beginning at the Effective Time and ending no earlier than seven years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company and Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless all past and present directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Covered Persons”) to the same extent such Persons are indemnified as of the date of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to Applicable Law, the Charter Documents of the Company or its Subsidiaries, and the indemnification agreements, if any, in existence on the date of this Agreement and set forth in Section 3.10(a)(xiv) of the Company Disclosure Letter, and, solely in the case of the Surviving Company (and not Parent), any other indemnification agreements, if any, in existence on the date of this Agreement (collectively, and including the indemnification agreements set forth in Section 3.10(a)(xiv) of the Company Disclosure Letter, the “Existing Indemnification Agreements”) arising out of acts or omissions in their capacity as directors or officers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with the adoption and approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby). The Surviving Company and Parent shall advance expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred in the defense of any Legal Proceeding with respect to the matters subject to indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.16 in accordance with the procedures (if any) set forth in the Charter Documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any Existing Indemnification Agreements and any other requirements under Applicable Law; provided, that Parent shall only be required to advance any such expenses to the extent that the Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Person is not entitled to indemnification (for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing proviso shall not apply with respect to the Surviving Company’s obligation to advance expenses pursuant to this Section 6.16(a)). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Legal Proceeding (whether arising before, at or after the Effective Time) is made against such persons with respect to matters subject to indemnification hereunder on or prior to the seventh anniversary of the Effective Time, the provisions of this Section 6.16(a) shall continue in effect until the final disposition or final resolution of such Legal Proceeding. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.16(a) or otherwise, Parent and the Surviving Company (i) shall not be liable for any settlement effected without their prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and (ii) shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Covered Person if it is ultimately decided in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such indemnification is prohibited by Applicable Law, in which case the Covered Person shall promptly refund to Parent or the Surviving Company the amount of all such expenses theretofore advanced pursuant hereto.
Directors and Officers Liability insurance shall be written with limits no less than $1,000,000 per claim and $1,000,000 policy aggregate limit.
Directors and Officers Liability Insurance The Company shall, from time to time, make the good faith determination whether or not it is practicable for the Company to obtain and maintain a policy or policies of insurance with reputable insurance companies providing the officers and directors of the Company with coverage for losses from wrongful acts, or to ensure the Company's performance of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement. Among other considerations, the Company will weigh the costs of obtaining such insurance coverage against the protection afforded by such coverage. In all policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance, Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably insured of the Company's directors, if Indemnitee is a director; or of the Company's officers, if Indemnitee is not a director of the Company but is an officer; or of the Company's key employees, if Indemnitee is not an officer or director but is a key employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to obtain or maintain such insurance if the Company determines in good faith that such insurance is not reasonably available, if the premium costs for such insurance are disproportionate to the amount of coverage provided, if the coverage provided by such insurance is limited by exclusions so as to provide an insufficient benefit, or if Indemnitee is covered by similar insurance maintained by a subsidiary or parent of the Company.
Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance (i) Executive shall retain all rights to indemnification under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws, and (ii) the Company shall maintain Director's and Officer's liability insurance on behalf of Executive, in both cases at the level in effect immediately prior to the Termination Date or immediately prior to the Change in Control, whichever is greater, for a number of years equal to the Severance Multiple following the Termination Date, and throughout the period of any applicable statute of limitations.
Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification (a) After the Effective Time, PalEx shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, indemnify and hold harmless, each present and former director, officer and agent of the Company (each, together with such person's heirs, executors or administrators, an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY" and collectively, the "INDEMNIFIED PARTIES") against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of, relating to or in connection with any action or omission of PalEx occurring prior to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, acts or omissions in connection with such persons serving as an officer, director or other fiduciary in any entity if such service was at the request or for the benefit of the Company). In the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), (i) PalEx shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel selected by the indemnified parties, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to PalEx, promptly after statements therefor are received, (ii) PalEx will cooperate in the defense of any such matter, and (iii) any determination required to be made with respect to whether an indemnified party's conduct complies with the standards set forth under the DGCL or other applicable statutes and PalEx's or the Surviving Corporation's respective Certificates of Incorporation or By-Laws shall be made by independent legal counsel acceptable to PalEx as the case may be, and the indemnified party; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that PalEx shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
Directors and Officers The directors and officers of Merger Sub, in each case, immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the directors and officers, respectively, of the Surviving Corporation until their successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation.
