ARTICLE 2 - RIGHT OF INDEMNITY
2.01 | Right of Indemnity |
Upon and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Corporation will indemnify and save harmless the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitees from and against all Liabilities, to the fullest extent authorized and permitted by applicable law.
2.02 | Cost Advances |
(1) Upon and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Corporation will, at the request of the Indemnified Party, make Cost Advances in respect of a Proceeding to the Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by law, on receipt of the following:
(a) | a statement of the Indemnified Partys good faith belief that the Indemnitees are entitled to indemnification hereunder; |
(b) | a written undertaking, in form and on terms satisfactory to the Corporation acting reasonably, by or on behalf of the Indemnitees to repay such Cost Advances if it is ultimately determined by a tribunal of competent jurisdiction that the Corporation is prohibited from paying such Costs; and |
(c) | satisfactory evidence as to the amount of the Costs requested as Cost Advances. |
(2) For greater certainty, subject as hereinafter provided in Section 2.03, it shall not be necessary for the Indemnitees to pay such Costs and then seek reimbursement; if the Indemnitees provide satisfactory evidence to the Corporation for direct payment by the Corporation, the Corporation shall make payment to the Indemnitees (or as the Indemnitees may direct) within ten (10) Business Days after the Corporation has received the foregoing information from the Indemnitees. If any portion of the Costs is subject to dispute in accordance with Section 2.03, the Corporation shall promptly pay the undisputed portion of any Costs.
(3) The written certification of any of the Indemnitees, together with a copy of a receipt, or a statement indicating the amount paid or to be paid by the Indemnitees, will constitute satisfactory evidence of any Costs for the purposes of Section 2.02(1). The
- 4 -
Corporation shall have the burden of establishing that any Costs it wishes to challenge are not reasonable.
(4) It is the intent of the parties hereto that (i) in the event of any change, after the date of this Agreement, in any applicable law which expands the right of the Corporation to indemnify or make Cost Advances to a director or officer, the Indemnified Party shall receive the greater benefits afforded by such change, and (ii) this Agreement be interpreted and enforced so as to provide obligatory indemnification and Cost Advances under such circumstances as set forth in this Agreement, if any, in which the providing of indemnification or Cost Advances would otherwise be discretionary.
2.03 | Denial of Indemnity |
If indemnification under this Agreement is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty (30) days after a written claim therefor has been received by it and the applicable approval of the Court has been obtained where required, whichever is later, the Indemnitees may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if wholly successful on the merits or otherwise, the Indemnitees will also be entitled to be paid all Costs incurred in connection with the prosecution of such claim including, for greater certainty, legal fees (including reasonable disbursements). It will be a defence to any such action that the Indemnified Party has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under this Agreement, the Act or applicable law for the Corporation to indemnify the Indemnitees for the amount claimed.
2.04 | Limits of Indemnity |
The indemnity provided in Section 2.01 will not apply unless, in connection with the matter which gave rise or will give rise to the Liabilities for which indemnification is sought hereunder, the Indemnified Party:
(a) | acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation or, as the case may be, the best interests of the Related Entity; and |
(b) | in the case of a criminal or administrative Proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the Indemnified Party had reasonable grounds for believing that the Indemnified Partys conduct was lawful. |
2.05 | Exceptions to Indemnity and Cost Advances |
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Corporation will not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to indemnify, or make Cost Advances to, the Indemnified Party:
(a) | for any amount in respect of which the Indemnified Party may not be relieved of liability under the Act or otherwise at law; |
- 5 -
(b) | arising in connection with any Proceeding initiated or commenced by the Indemnified Party against (i) the Corporation or any Related Entity, unless it is brought to establish or enforce any right under this Agreement or rights of indemnification under any other agreement or under any Policy or any indemnity provisions of the constating documents of the Corporation or a Related Entity, as applicable, or (ii) any other person; unless, in either case, (A) the Corporation or the Related Entity, as applicable, has joined in or consented to the initiation of such Proceeding, or (B) such Proceeding is a counterclaim to any Proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder; |
(c) | to the extent the Indemnified Party is indemnified or reimbursed for Liabilities or Cost Advances, as applicable, and is, in each case, actually paid, other than pursuant to this Agreement or pursuant to a Policy, (without any written obligation to reimburse any third party for such Liabilities or Cost Advances), as applicable; |
(d) | to the extent that payment is actually made to the Indemnified Party under a valid and enforceable Policy; |
(e) | for a disgorgement of profits made from the purchase and sale by the Indemnified Party of securities pursuant to Section 122(4) of the Securities Act (Ontario) or similar provisions of any applicable Canadian provincial law or common law; or |
(f) | arising out of the Indemnified Partys breach of any employment agreement with the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries. |
2.06 | No Presumption |
(1) Termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or similar or other result, will not, of itself, create any presumption for the purposes of this Agreement that the Indemnified Party did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation, as the case may be, or, in the case of a Proceeding other than a civil proceeding, that he/she did not have reasonable grounds for believing that his/her conduct was lawful (unless the judgment or order of a court or another tribunal of competent jurisdiction specifically finds otherwise). Neither the failure of the Corporation (including the Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel or its shareholders) to have made a determination that indemnification of the Indemnitees is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnified Party has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including the Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel or its shareholders) that the Indemnified Party has not met such applicable standard of conduct, will be a defence to any action brought by the Indemnitees against the Corporation to recover the amount of any indemnification claim, nor create a presumption that the Indemnified Party has not met the applicable standard of conduct.
- 6 -
(2) For purposes of any determination under this Agreement, the Corporation will have the burden of establishing the absence of good faith.
(3) The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any other director, officer, agent or employee of the Corporation will not be imputed to the Indemnified Party for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.
2.07 | Insolvency |
It is the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement and the obligations of the Corporation will not be affected, discharged, impaired, mitigated or released by reason of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding of creditors of the Corporation and that in such event any amount owing to the Indemnitees hereunder will be treated in the same manner as the other fees or expenses of the directors and officers of the Corporation.
2.08 | Income Tax |
(1) Each payment made by the Corporation to the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement will be made without setoff, counterclaim or reduction for, and without deduction for or because of, any taxes imposed, levied, collected, assessed or withheld by or within any taxing jurisdiction, unless the Corporation is required by law or the interpretations thereof by any relevant governmental authority to make such withholding or deduction.
(2) Should any payment made pursuant to this Agreement, including the payment of insurance premiums or any payment made by an insurer under a Policy, be deemed to constitute a taxable benefit or otherwise be or become subject to any Taxes or levy, then the Corporation shall pay any amount necessary to ensure that the amount received by or on behalf of the Indemnitees, after the payment of or withholding for Taxes, fully reimburses the Indemnitees for the actual cost, expense or liability incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitees.
ARTICLE 3 - PROCEDURES
3.01 | Notice |
(1) Promptly after the assertion, commencement or threat of commencement by any third party of any Proceeding against the Indemnified Party that results or may result in the incurrence by such Indemnified Party of any Liabilities for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification, or in any demand by the Indemnified Party for Cost Advances, pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnified Party will promptly notify the Corporation of the assertion, commencement or threatened commencement of such Proceeding. Such notice (a Notice of Proceedings) will also specify with reasonable detail the factual basis for the Proceeding, the amount claimed by the third party or, if such amount is not then determinable, a reasonable estimate of the likely amount of the claim by the third party. The failure to promptly provide such Notice of Proceeding will not relieve the Corporation of any obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party or to make Cost Advances under this Agreement, except to the extent such failure results in actual prejudice to the Corporation or any Related Entity. Thereupon, the Corporation will have the right, upon written notice (the Defence Notice) to
- 7 -
the Indemnified Party within 20 Business Days after receipt by the Corporation of the Notice of Proceeding to conduct, at its own expense, the defence against the Proceeding in its own name or, if necessary, in the name of the Indemnified Party.
(2) If the Corporation receives notice from any other source of any matter of which the Indemnitees would otherwise be obligated hereunder to give notice to the Corporation, then the Indemnitees will be relieved of the obligation hereunder to give notice to the Corporation, provided that the Corporation has not suffered any actual prejudice from the failure of the Indemnitees to give notice as herein provided. The Corporation will give notice of such matter to the Indemnitees as soon as reasonably practicable.
(3) The Defence Notice will specify the counsel the Corporation will appoint to defend such Proceeding (the Defence Counsel). The Indemnified Party will have the right to employ separate counsel in any Proceeding and to participate in the defence thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnified Party and will not be included as part of any Costs or Liabilities incurred by the Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party will be entitled to claim from the Corporation unless: (i) the Indemnified Party has received a written opinion of counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Corporation, to the effect that the interests of the Indemnified Party and the Corporation with respect to the Proceeding are sufficiently adverse to prohibit the representation by the same counsel of both parties under applicable ethical rules; (ii) the employment of such counsel at the expense of the Corporation has been specifically authorized by the Corporation; or (iii) the Corporation has not assumed the defence of the Proceeding and employed counsel therefor satisfactory to the Indemnitees, acting reasonably, within a reasonable period of time after receiving notice thereof. The party conducting the defence of any Proceeding will keep the other party apprised of all significant developments in relation thereto.
(4) The Indemnified Party and the Corporation will reasonably cooperate with each other and, if applicable, their respective counsel in the investigation related to, and defence of, any Proceeding and will make available to each other all relevant books, records, documents and files and will otherwise use reasonable efforts to assist each others counsel to conduct a proper and adequate defence.
(5) The Corporation may conduct any investigation it considers appropriate of any Proceeding of which it receives notice under Section 3.01(1), and will pay all costs of that investigation.
ARTICLE 4 - SETTLEMENT
4.01 | Conduct of Settlements |
(1) The Corporation will not, without the Indemnified Partys prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any Proceeding in respect of which indemnification or a Cost Advance has been sought hereunder unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination (i) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from any liabilities on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding, and (ii) does
- 8 -
not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party.
(2) The Corporation will not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its prior written consent, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Indemnified Party will have the right to negotiate a settlement in respect of any Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Corporation, provided that (i) the Indemnified Party will pay any compensation, payment costs or other liabilities to be incurred under such settlement and the costs of negotiating and implementing such settlement, and will not seek indemnity from the Corporation in respect of such compensation, payment, costs or other Liabilities and will repay any Cost Advances previously made by the Corporation in respect of such Proceeding, and (ii) the settlement may not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of the Corporation or any Related Entity.
ARTICLE 5 - DIRECTOR LIABILITY INSURANCE
5.01 | Liability Insurance |
(1) The Corporation will obtain and maintain Policies. Such Policies in respect of the directors of the Corporation and of each Related Entity will include such customary terms and conditions and such limits as are then available to the Corporation on reasonable commercial terms, having regard to the historical and current market capitalization of the Corporation, the nature and size of the business and operations of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries from time to time. In all such Policies maintained by the Corporation, the Indemnified Party will be named as an insured. The Corporation shall advise the Indemnified Party promptly after it becomes aware of any material change in, cancellation, termination, or lapse in coverage of any applicable Policy.
(2) In the event the Corporation is sold or enters into any business combination as a result of which the Policies are terminated and not replaced with substantially similar policies equally applicable to the Indemnified Party, the Corporation shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause run-off tail insurance to be purchased for the benefit of the Indemnified Party with substantially the same coverage until the sooner to occur of (a) six (6) years following the termination of the Policies, or (b) six (6) years following the Indemnified Party ceasing to be a director or officer of the Corporation.
(3) Upon receipt by the Corporation of a Notice of Proceeding, the Corporation will promptly give notice to the insurer(s) under the Policies maintained by it and comply with all procedures and guidelines of the insurer(s) required for coverage of the Indemnified Party under the Policies.
(4) In the event that a Proceeding is brought in which the Indemnified Party is named as party or in respect of which the Indemnified Party may be entitled to receive payments or benefits under any Policy maintained by the Corporation, the Corporation will promptly pay, if permitted by applicable law, the insurance deductible applicable under any Policies providing coverage to the Indemnified Party.
- 9 -
(5) The indemnity provided for in this Agreement is separate and independent of the Policies and is not in any way limited to the amount of insurance provided under such Policies.
ARTICLE 6 - GENERAL
