Indemnification of Holders The Company will indemnify and hold each Holder and its directors, managers, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (each, a “Holder Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Holder Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or by the Company or any Company Subsidiary in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against a Holder, or any of its Affiliates, by any shareholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Holder, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of such Holder’s representation, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Holder may have with any such shareholder or any violations by such Holder or any such Affiliate of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Holder or any such Affiliate which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against any Holder Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Holder Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing. Any Holder Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Holder Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time following such Holder Party’s written request that it do so, to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Holder Party. The Company will not be liable to any Holder Party under this Agreement (i) for any settlement by a Holder Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent, that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to such Holder Party’s wrongful actions or omissions, or gross negligence or to such Holder Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Holder Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.
