Each of the indemnification agreements are identical in all material respects and provide generally that TD AMERITRADE will indemnify and advance expenses to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Each indemnification agreement continues until the later of six years from the date an Indemnitee ceases to serve as a director of TD AMERITRADE and the final termination of any proceeding in respect of which an Indemnitee is entitled to rights under the indemnification agreement.
Each Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, judgments, penalties and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of TD AMERITRADE in the event he is, or is threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, investigation or inquiry, other than proceedings brought by or in the right of TD AMERITRADE. In the case of proceedings by or in the right of TD AMERITRADE, an Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of TD AMERITRADE, except that no indemnification against expenses will be made in respect of any matter as to which the Indemnitee has been found liable to TD AMERITRADE unless the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware has determined that such indemnification may be made.
TD AMERITRADE has agreed to advance all reasonable expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in connection with any proceeding within twenty days after receipt of a statement requesting such advance, which statement includes an undertaking to repay any advanced expenses in the event it is determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification.
This description of the indemnification agreements is qualified in its entirety be reference to the complete form of indemnification which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
