"has been successful on the merits " Hi friends, I would invite explanation for the sentence " (someone) has been successful on the merits ". What does it mean? The context is " to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding referred to in Section 1.1 or the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, in whole or in part, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection therewith. " Thank you in advance! Best Oliver
