Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Indemnification Under the Delaware Limited Partnership Act
and the Second Amended and Restated Icahn Enterprises Partners L.P. Limited Partnership Agreement
Icahn Enterprises L.P., or the Partnership,
is organized under the laws of Delaware. Section 17-108 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the “Partnership
Act”) provides that a limited partnership may, and shall have the power to, indemnify and hold harmless any partners or other
persons from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever, subject to such standards and restrictions set forth in the
partnership agreement.
Section 6.15 of our partnership agreement
provides that the general partner, its affiliates, and all officers, directors, employees and agents of the general partner and
its affiliates (individually, an “Indemnitee”), to the fullest extent permitted by law, will be indemnified and held
harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, demands, costs, damages, liabilities, joint and several, expenses of any
nature (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements), judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts arising from any and
all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which the Indemnitee
may be involved, or threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise by reason of its status as (x) the general partner or an
affiliate thereof or (y) a partner, shareholder, director, officer, employee or agent of the general partner or an affiliate thereof
or (z) a Person serving at the request of the Partnership in another entity in a similar capacity, which relate to, arise out of
or are incidental to the Partnership, its property, business or affairs, including, without limitation, liabilities under the federal
and state securities laws, regardless of whether the Indemnitee continues to be a general partner, an affiliate, or an officer,
director, employee or agent of the general partner or of an affiliate thereof at the time any such liability or expense is paid
or incurred, if (i) the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner it believed to be in, or 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 and
(ii) the Indemnitee’s conduct did not constitute willful misconduct. The agreement further provides that an Indemnitee shall
not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under Section 6.15 by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee had an interest
in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of
the partnership agreement. Any indemnification under Section 6.15 shall be satisfied solely out of the assets of the Partnership.
The record holders shall not be subject to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provision.
Indemnification Under the Delaware General Corporation Law
and the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of Icahn Enterprises Finance Corp.
Icahn Enterprises Finance Corp. is a corporation
incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that under certain
circumstances a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including
attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such
person being or having been a director, officer, employee of or agent to the Registrants. The statute provides that it is not exclusive
of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise.
Item 16. Exhibits
(a)
Exhibits
See the accompanying Exhibit Index.
Item 17. Undertakings
The undersigned registrants hereby undertake:
|
(1)
|
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement;
|
|
(i)
|
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
|
|
(ii)
|
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the 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 the 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 commission 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;
|
|
(iii)
|
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement
or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
|
provided, however
, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and
(1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained
in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrants pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus
filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is a part of the 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:
|
(i)
|
If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:
|
|
(A)
|
Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement
as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
|
|
(B)
|
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance
on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(l)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information
required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of
the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of
securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any
person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement
relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
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 effective date, 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 effective date; or
|
|
(ii)
|
If the Registrant is subject to Rule 430C, 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, in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrants pursuant to the 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 registrants 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 registrants 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.
|
(6) That,
for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the 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 the 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.
(7) Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrants have been advised that in the opinion
of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant
of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer of controlling person of the 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 registrants 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 Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(8) For
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed
as part of a registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in the form of prospectus filed by the registrants
pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as
of the time it was declared effective.
(9) For
the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus
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.
(10) The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to
act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed under
the Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act.
