or any portion of any judgments, penalties, fines, excise taxes or amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding in which any Enterprise is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), the Company shall contribute to the amount of Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines, excise taxes and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf and paid or payable by Indemnitee in proportion to the relative benefits received by the Enterprise and all directors, officers, employees, agents and fiduciaries of the Enterprise, other than Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, from the transaction or events from which such action, suit or proceeding arose; provided, however, that the proportion determined on the basis of relative benefit may, to the extent necessary to conform to law, be further adjusted by reference to the relative fault of the Enterprise and all directors, officers, employees, agents and fiduciaries of the Enterprise other than Indemnitee who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, in connection with the transaction or events that resulted in such Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines, excise taxes or settlement amounts, as well as any other equitable considerations which applicable law may require to be considered. The relative fault of the Enterprise and all directors, officers, employees, agents and fiduciaries of the Enterprise, other than Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the degree to which their actions were motivated by intent to gain personal profit or advantage, the degree to which their liability is primary or secondary and the degree to which their conduct is active or passive.
(c) The Company hereby agrees, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, to fully indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless from any claims of contribution which may be brought by directors, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries of any Enterprise, other than Indemnitee, who may be jointly liable with Indemnitee with respect to such a claim.
(d) To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law and without diminishing or impairing the obligations of the Company set forth in the preceding subparagraphs of this Section 3, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for judgments, penalties, fines, excise taxes, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection with any claim relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Enterprise (and its directors, officers, employees, agents and fiduciaries other than Indemnitee) and Indemnitee as a result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such Proceeding and/or (ii) the relative fault of the Enterprise (and its directors, officers, employees, agents and fiduciaries other than Indemnitee) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s) and/or transaction(s).
4. Indemnification for Expenses of a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of such person’s Corporate Status, a witness, or is made (or asked) to respond to discovery requests, in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, such person shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person or on such person’s behalf in connection therewith.
