The Director Indemnity Agreement is a fundamental document in Dutch corporate governance, typically implemented when appointing new directors or updating existing indemnification arrangements. This agreement is essential in the Netherlands where director liability can be extensive under the Dutch Civil Code. It provides directors with contractual protection against personal liability while performing their duties, subject to statutory limitations. The document addresses the scope of indemnification, advancement of expenses, claims procedures, and interaction with D&O insurance. It's particularly important given the Dutch legal framework's specific requirements regarding director liability and the limitations on indemnification for certain types of conduct, such as willful misconduct or deliberately reckless acts.
