Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses Sample Clauses
The Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses clause provides protection for individuals, such as directors or officers, against certain legal liabilities incurred while performing their duties for an organization. Typically, this clause obligates the company to cover legal costs, judgments, or settlements arising from lawsuits related to actions taken in good faith within the scope of their role, and may also require the company to advance funds for legal expenses before the final resolution of a case. Its core function is to shield key personnel from personal financial risk, thereby encouraging them to act in the organization's best interests without fear of personal liability.

To the extent that any determination is required to be made as to whether a Covered Person engaged in conduct for which indemnification is not provided as described herein, or as to whether there is reason to believe that a Covered Person ultimately will be found entitled to indemnification, the Person or Persons making the determination shall afford the Covered Person a rebuttable presumption that the Covered Person has not engaged in such conduct and that there is reason to believe that the Covered Person ultimately will be found entitled to indemnification.
