The Company shall and does hereby agree to indemnify each TCO Indemnified Person who is or was a party to, or who is threatened to be made a party to, a threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative, or investigative and whether formal or informal, including, without limitation, an action by or in the right of the, by reason of the fact that he or she was a director of the Company prior to the Effective Time, or
was, prior to the Effective Time, serving at the request of the Company as a director (or in a similar capacity, including serving as a member of any committee of TRG) or in any other representative capacity of another foreign or domestic
corporation or of or with respect to any other entity (including TRG), whether for profit or not, against expenses, attorneys’ fees, judgments, penalties, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in
connection with the action, suit, or proceeding. This Section 16(a) is intended to grant the persons herein described with the fullest protection not prohibited by existing law in effect as of the date of this Agreement or such greater
protection as may be permitted or not prohibited under succeeding provisions of law.
|
| (b) |
The Company has the power to indemnify each TCO Indemnified Person who is or was a party to, or who is threatened to be made a party to, a threatened, pending, or contemplated action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative, or investigative and whether formal or informal, including an action by or in the right of the Company, by reason of the fact that he or she was, prior to the Effective Time, an officer, employee, or agent of the Company or
was, prior to the Effective Time, serving at the request of the Company as an officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership (including TRG), joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
whether for profit or not, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, penalties, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the action, suit, or proceeding, if the
person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation or its shareholders, and with respect to a criminal action or proceeding, if the person had no
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Unless ordered by a court, an indemnification under this Section 16(b) shall be made by the Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification
of the TCO Indemnified Person is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Section 16(b).
|
| (c) |
The Company shall pay the expenses incurred by a TCO Indemnified Person described in Section 16(a) in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding described in such Section 16(a) in advance of the final disposition of the
action, suit, or proceeding. The Company shall pay the expenses incurred by a TCO Indemnified Person described in Section 16(b) in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding described in such Section 16(b) in advance of the
final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay the expenses if it is ultimately determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. Such
undertaking shall be by unlimited general obligation of the person on whose behalf advances are made but need not be secured.
|
| (d) |
If a claim under this Section 16 is not paid in full by the Company within 30 days after a written claim has been received by the Company, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit, in a court of competent jurisdiction in the
State of Michigan, against the Company (in its capacity as successor to TCO) to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense (including attorneys’
fees) of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking has
been tendered to the corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct that make it permissible under the laws of the State of Michigan for the Company (in its capacity as successor to TCO) to indemnify the claimant for the
amount claimed. The burden of proving such a defense shall be on the Company. Neither the failure of the Company to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper under the
circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the laws of the State of Michigan, nor an actual determination by the Company that the claimant had not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be
a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application to the court pursuant to this Section 16(d) shall be given to the Company promptly upon filing.
|
| (e) |
The Company shall not be liable to indemnify any person under this Section 16 (a) for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim effected without the Company’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;
or (b) for any judicial award if the Company was not given a reasonable and timely opportunity, at its expense, to participate in the defense of such action.
|
| (f) |
In the event of payment under this Section 16, the Company, as applicable, shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the person, who shall execute all papers required and shall do everything that
may be necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the corporation effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.
|
| (g) |
The Company shall not be liable under this Section 16 to make any payment in connection with any claim made against the indemnitee to the extent the indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment (under any insurance policy, agreement,
vote, or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder.
|
| (h) |
If Section 16 or any portion hereof or thereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify each director or officer to the fullest extent not prohibited by any
applicable portion of this Section 16 that shall not have been invalidated, or by any other applicable law. If Section 16 shall be invalid due to the application of the indemnification provisions of another jurisdiction, then the Company
shall indemnify each director and officer to the fullest extent under any other applicable law.
|
| (a) |
The Member shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from and against any and all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), losses, damages, liabilities, charges and claims of any kind or nature whatsoever, incurred by
it in its capacity as a Member and/or arising out of or incidental to any act performed or omitted to be performed by any Member in its capacity as a Member in connection with the business of the Company.
|
| (b) |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, under no circumstances shall the Member or any member, partner, shareholder or other person directly or indirectly holding an interest in the Member or any officer,
director or employee of the foregoing have any personal liability under this Agreement, and no assets of the Member other than the Member’s interest in the Company and the Company’s assets shall be subject to any judgement or attachment in
connection with any action or claim in connection with this Agreement.
