this Agreement or in any other Documents or (b) any proceeding instituted against any Indemnitee, in any capacity, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Indemnitee, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Documents (unless such proceeding is based upon a breach of such Indemnitee’s representations or warranties, or any failure of such Indemnitee to perform or comply with any of its covenants or agreements, in this Agreement or in any other Documents, or any violations by such Indemnitee of state or federal securities laws, or any conduct by such Indemnitee which constitutes actual fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct) (the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that Company shall have no obligation to an Indemnitee hereunder with respect to Indemnified Liabilities directly resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment.
