PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 6. | Indemnification of Directors and Officers. |
Under the terms and conditions of the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of New Source Energy Partners L.P. (the “Partnership Agreement”), the Registrant will indemnify, in most circumstances and to the fullest extent permitted by law, from and against all losses, claims, damages, or similar events, any person who is or was a director, officer, fiduciary, trustee, general partner, manager or managing member of the Registrant or any of the Registrant’s subsidiaries, the Registrant’s general partner or any departing general partner or any of their affiliates. Any indemnification under the applicable provisions of the Partnership Agreement will only be out of the Registrant’s assets. Unless the Registrant’s general partner otherwise agrees, it will not be personally liable for, or have any obligation to contribute or lend funds or assets to the Registrant to enable it to effectuate such an indemnification. The Registrant may purchase insurance against liabilities asserted against and expenses incurred by persons for its activities, regardless of whether the Registrant would have the power to indemnify the person against liabilities under the Partnership Agreement.
Subject to any terms, conditions or restrictions set forth in the Partnership Agreement, Section 17-108 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act empowers a Delaware limited partnership such as the Registrant to indemnify and hold harmless any partner or other person from and against all claims and demands whatsoever.
The Registrant and its general partner, New Source Energy GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, have entered into indemnification agreements with its directors, which generally indemnify the members of the general partner’s board of directors to the fullest extent permitted by law. New Source Energy GP, LLC also maintains director and officer liability insurance for the benefit of its directors and officers.
Reference is made to Item 9 for the Registrant’s undertakings with respect to indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
