NOW, THEREFORE, the Company hereby agrees as follows for the benefit of the Indemnitees:
1.The Indemnification Agreements applicable to each of the Director Indemnitees, the Officer Indemnitees and the Employee Indemnitees define “Proceeding” as follows in Section 1(g) thereof:
“(g) “Proceeding” means any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitrator, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing or any other proceeding, whether brought by or in the right of the Company or otherwise and whether of a civil (including intentional or unintentional tort claims), criminal, administrative or investigative (formal or informal) nature, including any appeal therefrom, except one pending or completed on or before the Effective Date, unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing by the Company and Indemnitee. If Indemnitee reasonably believes that a given situation may lead to or culminate in the institution of a Proceeding, such situation shall also be considered a Proceeding.”
2.For the benefit of (i) the Director Indemnitees (and each Director Indemnitee), (ii) the Officer Indemnitees (and each Officer Indemnitee), (iii) the Employee Indemnitees (and each Employee Indemnitee), and (iv) the Additional Employee Indemnitees (and each Additional Employee Indemnitee) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”), the Board has determined on behalf of the Company that it is advisable and in the best interests of the Company to interpret the definition of “Proceeding” in the Indemnification Agreements for the benefit of all of the Indemnitees to include any third-party claim arising in connection with and/or as a result of, COVID-19, against one or more of the Indemnitees (the “COVID Matters”).
