ARTICLE IX

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

Section 9.01    INDEMNIFICATION. The parties expressly agree that all rights of indemnification that SC Vessel or its Affiliates or related parties were entitled to under the Organizational Documents of OG Enterprises and OG Branding and its Affiliates shall be assumed by Caliva and Subversive at Closing (“Indemnitors”). In addition the following further indemnification terms shall apply:

(a)    Right to Indemnification. Subject to the limitations and conditions as provided in this Section and the Organizational Documents of OG Enterprises and OG Branding and its Affiliates, SC Vessel and its Affiliates and the Representatives of any of the foregoing (each a “Covered Person”) who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any pending threatened or actual third party Proceeding, or any appeal in such a Proceeding or any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such a Proceeding, by reason of the fact that he or she had or has any association with OG Branding, Caliva, Subversive or any of the Affiliates of any of the foregoing (whether before or after Closing) in any capacity (whether as an officer, manager, independent contractor or otherwise (a “Capacity”)) shall be indemnified by each Indemnitor against judgments, penalties (including excise and similar taxes and punitive damages), fines, settlements and reasonable expenses (including attorneys fees) actually incurred by such Person in connection with such Proceeding; and indemnification under this Section will continue as to a Person who has ceased to serve in such Capacity; provided, however, that no Covered Person shall be indemnified for any Proceeding (i) for any action of any such Covered Person constituting bad faith or wilful misconduct or (ii) pertaining to any information provided by SC Vessel to Subversive in writing for

inclusion in the Prospectus pursuant to Section 5.03 constituting bad faith or wilful misconduct. Each Covered Person shall have no liability to each Indemnitor, OG Enterprises or OG Branding for any loss suffered by each Indemnitor which arises out of any action or inaction by such Covered Person with respect to each Indemnitor, OG Enterprises or OG Branding if such Covered Person so acted or omitted to act in accordance with the applicable standards of conduct specified in this Section or, in the case of a party serving as an officer or director or manager, the Organizational Documents of OG Enterprises and OG Branding and otherwise without breach of this Agreement or the Organizational Documents of OG Enterprises and OG Branding. It is expressly acknowledged that the indemnification provided in this Section could involve indemnification for negligence or under theories of strict liability, but no such indemnification will be made where the act giving rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a final adjudication to have been a breach of the implied covenant of fair dealing or of this Agreement, not been taken in good faith or constituted fraud, willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the law. For the avoidance of doubt the indemnification rights herein shall extend to any and all matters relating to the Qualifying Transaction (as defined in the Exchange Listing Manual), the Prospectus (other than as provided herein), and dealings with investors and security filings of Subversive and each Indemnitor in connection therewith.

(b)    Third Party Indemnitors. Each Indemnitor hereby acknowledges that a Covered Person may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by an entity other than each Indemnitor as a result of such Covered Person serving or having served as a Covered Person at the request of such other entity (collectively, the “Third Party Indemnitors”). Each Indemnitor hereby agrees that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to a Covered Person are primary and any obligation of Third Party Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by a Covered Person are secondary), and that each Indemnitor will not assert that a Covered Person must seek expense advancement or reimbursement, or indemnification, from any Third Party Indemnitor before each Indemnitor must perform its expense advancement and reimbursement, and indemnification obligations, under this Section. No advancement or payment by the Third Party Indemnitors on behalf of a Covered Person with respect to any claim for which such Covered Person has sought indemnification from each Indemnitor shall affect the foregoing. The Third Party Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery which a Covered Person would have had against each Indemnitor if the Third Party Indemnitors had not advanced or paid any amount to or on behalf of such Covered Person. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Third Party Indemnitors are not entitled to the subrogation rights described in the preceding sentence, the Third Party Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution by each Indemnitor to the Third Party Indemnitors with respect to any advance or payment by the Third Party Indemnitors to or on behalf of a Covered Person. Each Indemnitor agrees that the Third Party Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section notwithstanding any other limitations on third party beneficiaries in this Agreement.

(c)    Procedure for Indemnification.

 

  (i)

As a condition precedent to the Covered Person’s right to be indemnified, the Covered Person must notify each Indemnitor in writing as soon as practicable of any Proceedings involving him or her for which indemnity hereunder will or could be sought; provided, however, that any delay in providing such notice shall not limit the Covered Person’s right to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent of any damages caused by such delay. With respect to any Proceeding of which each Indemnitor is so notified, each Indemnitor will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense and/or to assume the defense thereof at its own expense, with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Covered Person. No Covered Person may settle any Proceeding for which such Covered Person is seeking indemnification without the prior written consent of the Indemnitors.

Table of Contents
  (ii)

In the event that each Indemnitor does not assume the defense of any Proceeding of which each Indemnitor receives notice under this Section, each Indemnitor shall pay in advance of the final disposition of such matter any expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a Covered Person in defending a Proceeding or any appeal therefrom; provided, however, that the payment of such expenses incurred by a Covered Person in advance of the final disposition of such matter shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay all amounts so advanced in the event that it shall ultimately be determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified by each Indemnitor as authorized in this Section, which undertaking shall be accepted without reference to the financial ability of the Covered Person to make such repayment; and provided further that no such advancement of expenses shall be made if it is determined that (i) the Covered Person did not act (A) in good faith and in a manner the Covered Person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of each Indemnitor, or (B) in the good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement, or (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the Covered Person had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

 

  (iii)

Each Indemnitor shall not indemnify a Covered Person seeking indemnification in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Covered Person unless the initiation thereof was approved by the Board of Directors. Except as may be set forth in a separate contractual arrangement between each Indemnitor and a Covered Person, each Indemnitor shall not (i) advance or reimburse expenses of a Covered Person, in connection with any Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Covered Person against each Indemnitor or its directors, officers or employees or (ii) advance expenses of such Covered Person in connection with any Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by each Indemnitor against such Covered Person. Each Indemnitor shall not indemnify a Covered Person to the extent such Covered Person is reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance, and in the event each Indemnitor makes any indemnification payments to a Covered Person and such Covered Person is subsequently reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance, such Covered Person shall promptly refund such indemnification payments to each Indemnitor to the extent of such insurance reimbursement.

(d)    Appearance as a Witness. The Company shall also pay or reimburse expenses incurred by a Covered Person in connection with his or her appearance as a witness or other participation in a Proceeding at a time when he or she is not a named defendant or respondent in the Proceeding

(e)    Non-exclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the advancement and payment of expenses conferred in this Section will not be exclusive of any other right which a Covered Person or other Person indemnified pursuant to paragraph (c) above may have or hereafter acquire under any law (common or statutory), provision of the Certificate of Incorporation of OG Enterprises or this Agreement, other agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

Section 9.02 Insurance. On or prior to the Closing, Caliva shall acquire a run off (i.e., “tail”) policy or endorsement with respect to the current policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering claims, including claims against former directors’ and officers’ of OG Enterprises and OG Branding asserted within six years after the Closing arising from facts or events that occurred at or before

the Closing (including consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement). Such policies or endorsements shall name as insureds thereunder all present and former directors and officers of OG Enterprises and OG Branding. In addition, following the Closing Subversive shall maintain any insurance required by the Brand Agreement for the length of time required by the Brand Agreement.

Section 9.03 Savings Clause. If this Section or any portion hereof will be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then each Indemnitor will nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each Covered Person or any other Person indemnified pursuant to this Section as to costs, charges, and expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section that will not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
