D&O Insurance; Indemnification. During the Employment Term, the Company will purchase and maintain, at its own expense, directors' and officers' liability insurance providing coverage to Executive on terms equivalent to those provided to other executive officers. Further, the Company will defend, indemnify and hold Executive harmless, the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and permitted by the Company’s governing documents, from and against legal claims which may be asserted against Executive arising out of Executive’s good faith performance of duties pursuant to this Agreement.

D&O COVERAGE; INDEMNIFICATION. During the Term, the Company shall maintain, for the benefit of the Executive, director and officer liability insurance in form at least as comprehensive as, and in an amount that is at least equal to, that maintained by the Company for any other officer or director. In addition, the Executive shall be indemnified by the Company for acts taken within the scope of his employment with the Company or service on the Board to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. The Executive’s rights under this Section XIX shall continue so long as he may be subject to such liability, whether or not this Agreement may have terminated prior thereto.

Indemnification/D&O Insurance. If Executive is made a party, is threatened to be made a party or reasonably anticipates being made a party, to any formal or informal action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he is or was an officer of the Company, Executive shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by the Company’s bylaws against all cost, expense, liability and loss reasonably incurred or suffered by the Executive in connection therewith, as more fully described and subject to the terms and conditions of the indemnification agreement to be entered into between the Company and Executive (the “Indemnification Agreement”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indemnification Agreement, so long as Executive shall continue to serve as an officer of the Company (and for any applicable periods after termination with respect to acts performed as an employee of the Company), the Company shall use reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain in full force and effect directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (the “D&O Insurance”) in reasonable amounts and Executive shall be covered under the D&O Insurance to the same extent as other of the Company’s executives.

(the “Limited Non-Compete”) solely in connection with the execution of, or provision of services under, this Agreement or the Executive’s required equity investment in the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing indemnification of the Executive shall not apply with respect to any claims, cost and expenses the Executive may incur as a result any alleged violation of the Limited Non-Compete not in connection with the Executive’s execution of, or provision of services under, this Agreement. The Executive shall be covered under any directors’ and officers’ insurance that the Company and Parent maintain for its directors and other officers in the same manner and on the same basis as the Company’s and Parent’s other directors and other senior officers during the Term and for so long as any claims may be made against the Executive consistent with applicable statutes of limitation after the Term.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indemnification Agreement, so long as Executive shall continue to serve as an officer of the Company (and for any applicable periods after termination with respect to acts performed as an employee of the Company), the Company shall use reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain in full force and effect directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (the “D&O Insurance”) in reasonable amounts and Executive shall be covered under the D&O Insurance to the same extent as other of the Company’s executives.
