2. | Indemnification |
RGHL shall indemnify each Indemnitee against all legal expenses, losses, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges in connection therewith) (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”) incurred by an Indemnitee or on an Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with any proceeding resulting from or relating to decisions the Indemnitee made or any actions the Indemnitee took on behalf of an Obligor in his or her capacity as a director or officer of that company in connection with any transactions or the approval or execution of any resolutions or documents in relation to [the Transactions].
3. | Limitations on Indemnification |
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, an Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement:
(a) | to the extent that such indemnification is not permitted by applicable laws; or |
(b) | to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are the result of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Indemnitee; or |
(c) | to the extent that payment is actually made, or for which payment is available, to or on behalf of the relevant Indemnitee under an insurance policy, except in respect of any amount in excess of the limits of liability of such policy or any applicable deductible for such policy; or |
(d) | to the extent that payment has or will be made to the relevant Indemnitee by an Obligor or any affiliate of RGHL otherwise than pursuant to this Agreement; or |
(e) | in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by an Indemnitee, unless: |
i. | such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law; |
ii. | the proceeding was authorized by the shareholder(s) (or other decision making organ) of the relevant Obligor; or |
iii. | such indemnification is provided by the relevant Obligor, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Obligor under applicable law. |
4. | Indemnification Procedure |
(a) | Each Indemnitee shall give RGHL notice in writing as soon as practicable of any proceeding in relation to that Indemnitee for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement.

Subject to clause 4 (b), RGHL shall make such indemnification payment within 30 business days of receipt of such invoices and supporting information. |
(b) | There shall be no presumption in favor of indemnification. If there is a dispute between RGHL and an Indemnitee as to whether that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, then independent legal counsel shall be selected by the board of directors of RGHL to make such determination. The selected independent legal counsel shall make such determination within 30 business days of being selected and the decision of such independent legal counsel shall be binding upon all RGHL and the relevant Indemnitee; |
5. | Severability |
If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
