PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

 

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Crosstex Energy, L.P.

 

Subject to any standards or restrictions set forth in a partnership agreement, Section 17-108 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act empowers a Delaware limited partnership to indemnify and hold harmless any partner or other persons from and against all claims and demands whatsoever.

 

The partnership agreement of Crosstex Energy, L.P. provides that the Partnership will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless (i) the general partner, (ii) any departing general partner, (iii) any person who is or was an affiliate of the general partner or any departing general partner, (iv) any person who is or was a member, partner, officer, director, employee, agent, fiduciary or trustee of any Group Member (as defined in the partnership agreement), the general partner or any departing general partner or any affiliate of any Group Member, the general partner or any departing general partner or (v) any person who is or was serving at the request of the general partner or any departing general partner or any affiliate of the general partner or any departing general partner as an officer, director, employee, member, partner, agent, fiduciary or trustee of another person (each, an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which any Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its status as an Indemnitee; provided that in each case the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner that such Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or (in the case of a person other than the general partner) not opposed to, the best interests of the Partnership and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe its conduct was unlawful.

 

Any indemnification under these provisions will only be out of the assets of the Partnership, and the general partner shall not be personally liable for, or have any obligation to contribute or loan any monies or property to the Partnership to enable it to effectuate, such indemnification. The Partnership may purchase (or reimburse the general partner or its affiliates for the cost of) insurance, on behalf of the general partner, its affiliates and such other persons as the general partner shall determine, against liabilities asserted against and expenses incurred by such persons in connection with the Partnership’s activities, regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such person against liabilities under the partnership agreement.

 

The general partner has entered into indemnification agreements (the “Indemnification Agreements”) with its directors and executive officers (collectively, the “Executive Indemnitees”), who serve as directors and officers of the Partnership. Under the terms of the Indemnification Agreements, the general partner has agreed to indemnify each Executive Indemnitee, subject to certain conditions, (i) against all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such Executive Indemnitee or on his or her behalf if such person is, by reason of his or her status as a director and/or officer of the general partner or a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise with which such person was serving at the request of the general partner (any such status being referred to as a “Corporate Status”), made or threatened to be made a party to or otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative, any appeal in such an action, suit or proceeding, and any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such an action, suit or proceeding irrespective of the initiator thereof (each, a “Proceeding”) or any claim, issue or matter therein, other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the general partner; (ii) if such person is, by reason of his or her Corporate Status, made or threatened to be made a party to or otherwise involved in any Proceeding brought by or in the right of the general partner to procure a judgment in its favor, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter in such Proceeding as to which such Executive Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the general partner, unless and only to the extent that a court shall otherwise determine; (iii) against all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person or on his or her behalf in connection with any such Proceeding for which such Executive Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to (i) or (ii) in which the Executive Indemnitee is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of such Proceeding; (iv) against

 

II-1

 

expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person or on his or her behalf in connection with a Proceeding to the extent that such Executive Indemnitee is, by reason of his or her Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding to which such person is not a party; (v) against costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the Executive Indemnitee in cooperating with any person, persons or entity determining whether the Executive Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification; and (vi) against any and all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such Executive Indemnitee in any judicial adjudication of his or her rights under the Indemnification Agreements, but only if (and only to the extent) he or she prevails therein. To the extent that a change in the laws of the State of Delaware permits greater indemnification or advancement of expenses than would be afforded under the Indemnification Agreements as of the date of the Indemnification Agreements, the Executive Indemnitee shall enjoy the greater benefits so afforded by such change.

 

In addition, under the terms of the Indemnification Agreements, the general partner has agreed to pay all reasonable expenses incurred by an Executive Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding pursuant to (i) or (ii) above in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding no later than 10 days after receipt by the general partner of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Executive Indemnitee to repay such amount to the extent that it is ultimately determined that the Executive Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the general partner.

 

The Indemnification Agreements also include provisions that specify the procedures and presumptions that are to be employed to determine whether an Executive Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification thereunder. In some cases, the nature of the procedures specified in the Indemnification Agreements varies depending on whether there has occurred a “Change in Control” (as defined in the Indemnification Agreements) of the general partner.

 

Crosstex Energy GP, LLC

 

Additionally, Section 18-108 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act empowers a Delaware limited liability company to indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against all claims and demands whatsoever. Section 7.01(a) of the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the general partner (the “Company Agreement”) provides that to the fullest extent permitted by law, (a) any Person who is or was an affiliate of the general partner, (b) any Person who is or was a member, partner officer, director, employee, agent or trustee of the general partner or any affiliate of the general partner and (c) any Person who is or was serving at the request of the general partner or any affiliate of the general partner as an officer, director, employee, member, partner, agent, fiduciary or trustee of another Person (collectively the “Company Indemnitees”), shall be indemnified and held harmless by the general partner, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which any Company Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its status as a Company Indemnitee; provided, that in each case the Company Indemnitee acted in good faith, in a manner that such Company Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the general partner and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe its conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that the Company Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified above.  Any indemnification pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Company Agreement shall be made only out of the assets of the general partner.

 

Section 7.01(b) of the Company Agreement also states that to the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by a Company Indemnitee who is indemnified pursuant to Section 7.01(a) in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the general partner prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the general partner of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Company Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Company Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized by the Company Agreement.

 

Section 7.02(a) of the Company Agreement provides that no Company Indemnitee shall be liable for monetary damages to the general partner or any other Persons who have acquired membership interests in the

 

II-2

 

general partner, for losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of any act or omission if such Company Indemnitee acted in good faith.

 

Crosstex Energy Finance Corp.

 

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, inter alia, empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Similar indemnity is authorized for such persons against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of any such threatened, pending or completed action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and provided further that (unless a court of competent jurisdiction otherwise provides) such person shall not have been adjudged liable to the corporation. Any such indemnification may be made only as authorized in each specific case upon a determination that the present or former director, officer, employee or agent has met the applicable standard of conduct and, in the case of a person who is a director or officer of the corporation at the time of such determination, such determination shall be made by the stockholders or disinterested directors or by independent legal counsel in a written opinion that indemnification is proper.

 

Section 145 further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify him under Section 145. Also, Article VI of the bylaws of Crosstex Energy Finance Corporation provides for the indemnification of directors and officers of the company and those persons who serve at the request of the company as directors, officers, employees or agents of any other enterprise against certain liabilities under certain circumstances.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling our company as set forth above, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

(b)           Financial Statement Schedules:

Item 22. Undertakings.

 

Each undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

II-3

 

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement.

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, each undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

Each undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the

 

II-4

 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

Each undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X are not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of any registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, each registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by a registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of any registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

Each undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

 

Each undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
