Employer agrees (A) it will continue to maintain Directors and Officers Liability and general insurance policies in amounts sufficient to fund the indemnity described above, (B) Executive shall be covered by such policies in accordance with their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available under such policies, and (C) Executive shall continue to be covered by such policies both during the Term and following the termination of Executive’s employment with Employer so long as Executive shall be or may be subject to any claims, suits, actions and/or proceedings by reason of Executive’s status as (or former status as) an officer, director, and/or agent of Employer. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5.05 are a supplement to and in furtherance of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and By-laws (and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto), as well as the Indemnification Agreement, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefore, no to diminish or abrogate any rights of Executive thereunder.
D&O Insurance Within 60 calendar days of the Closing, the Company shall purchase director and officer insurance on behalf of the Company’s (including its subsidiary) officers and directors for a period of 18 months after the Closing with respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expense in connection with any actual or threatened claim or proceeding that is based on, or arises out of their status as a director or officer of the Company. The insurance policy shall provide for two years of tail coverage.
D & O Insurance The Company agrees that for six (6) years and one (1) business day after the expiration or earlier termination of the Employment Period the Company shall obtain and provide at its expense directors’ and officers’ liability insurance or directors’ and officers’ liability tail insurance policies covering the Executive with respect to acts or omissions occurring during Executive’s employment with the Company with coverage and amounts (including with respect to the payment of attorney’s fees) equal to or greater than those of the Company’s policy in effect on the date hereof.
Indemnification and D&O Insurance Executive will be provided indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ and affiliates’ Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, including, if applicable, any directors and officers insurance policies, with such indemnification to be on terms determined by the Board or any of its committees, but on terms no less favorable than provided to any other Company executive officer or director and subject to the terms of any separate written indemnification agreement.
D&O Insurance and Indemnification Through at least the sixth anniversary of the Date of Termination, the Company shall maintain coverage for you as a named insured on all directors’ and officers’ insurance maintained by the Company for the benefit of its directors and officers on at least the same basis as all other covered individuals and provide you with at least the same corporate indemnification as it provides to other senior executives.
D&O Policy 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 directors and officers 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 director and officer 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 parent or subsidiary of the Company.

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.
