Exhibit 10.13

 

INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

 

THIS INDEMNITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of [●] , 2020, by and
between Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
and [●] (“Indemnitee”).

 

RECITALS

 

The Company believes that, in order to attract and retain highly qualified
persons to serve as directors or in other capacities, including as officers, it
must provide those persons with adequate protection through indemnification
against the risk of claims and actions against them arising out of their
services to and activities on behalf of the Company. The Third Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) and the Amended and
Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) of the Company require indemnification of the
officers and directors of the Company. Indemnitee may also be entitled to
indemnification pursuant to applicable provisions of the Delaware General
Corporation Law (“DGCL”). The Charter, Bylaws and the DGCL expressly provide
that the indemnification provisions set forth therein are not exclusive, and
thereby contemplate that contracts may be entered into between the Company and
members of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), officers and
other persons with respect to indemnification, hold harmless, exoneration,
advancement and reimbursement rights;

 

The Company desires and has requested Indemnitee to serve as a [director]
[officer] of the Company and, in order to induce the Indemnitee to serve as a
[director] [officer] of the Company, the Company is willing to grant the
Indemnitee the indemnification provided for herein. Indemnitee is willing to so
serve on the basis that such indemnification be provided.

 

The parties by this Agreement desire to set forth their agreement regarding
indemnification and the advancement of expenses. In consideration of the mutual
covenants and agreements set forth below, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

 

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

1. SERVICES TO THE COMPANY. In consideration of the Company’s covenants and
obligations hereunder, Indemnitee will serve or continue to serve as an officer,
director, advisor, key employee or in any other capacity of the Company, as
applicable, for so long as Indemnitee is duly elected or appointed or retained
or until Indemnitee tenders Indemnitee’s resignation or until Indemnitee is
removed. The foregoing notwithstanding, this Agreement shall continue in full
force and effect after Indemnitee has ceased to serve as a director, officer,
advisor, key employee or in any other capacity of the Company, as provided in
Section 14. This Agreement, however, shall not impose any obligation on
Indemnitee or the Company to continue Indemnitee’s service to the Company beyond
any period otherwise required by law or by other agreements or commitments of
the parties, if any.

was, is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant (as a witness,

Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with the Proceeding or any claim, issue or
matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company
and, in the case of a criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe
that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

4. INDEMNITY IN PROCEEDINGS BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY. To the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify, hold harmless
and exonerate Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4 if
Indemnitee was, is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant (as
a witness, deponent or otherwise) in any Proceeding by or in the right of the
Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate
Status. Pursuant to this Section 4, Indemnitee shall be indemnified, held
harmless and exonerated against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by
Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with the Proceeding or any
claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a
manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Company. No indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration for
Expenses shall be made under this Section 4 in respect of any claim, issue or
matter as to which Indemnitee has been finally adjudged by a court to be liable
to the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall indemnify, hold
harmless and indemnify Indemnitee if the court in which the Proceeding was
brought or the Delaware Court determines that, despite the adjudication of
liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnification, to be held harmless or to
exoneration.

 

5. INDEMNIFICATION FOR EXPENSES OF A PARTY WHO IS WHOLLY OR PARTLY SUCCESSFUL.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that
Indemnitee was or is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a party to (or
a participant in) and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any
Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, in whole or in
part, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee against all Expenses actually
and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is
not wholly successful in the Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or
otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in the
Proceeding, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee against all Expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in
connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. If Indemnitee
is not wholly successful in the Proceeding, the Company also shall, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold harmless and
exonerate Indemnitee against all Expenses reasonably incurred in connection with
a claim, issue or matter related to any claim, issue, or matter on which
Indemnitee was successful. For purposes of this Section 5 and without
limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding
by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful
result as to the claim, issue or matter.

 

6. INDEMNIFICATION FOR EXPENSES OF A WITNESS. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of
Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a witness or deponent in any Proceeding
(including, without limitation, any Proceeding to which Indemnitee was or is not
a party or threatened to be made a party), Indemnitee shall, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, be indemnified, held harmless and exonerated
against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on
Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith.

 

5

 

 

7. ADDITIONAL INDEMNIFICATION, HOLD HARMLESS AND EXONERATION RIGHTS.
Notwithstanding any limitation in Section 3, Section 4 or Section 5, the Company
shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold
harmless and exonerate Indemnitee if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to
be made a party to any Proceeding (including a Proceeding by or in the right of
the Company to procure a judgment in its favor) against all Expenses, judgments,
liabilities, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all
interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in
respect of those Expenses, judgments, liabilities, fines, penalties and amounts
paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection
with the Proceeding. No indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration rights
shall be available under this Section 7 on account of Indemnitee’s conduct that
constitutes a breach of Indemnitee’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its
stockholders or is an act or omission not in good faith or that involves
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law.

 

8. CONTRIBUTION IN THE EVENT OF JOINT LIABILITY.

 

(a) To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the
indemnification, hold harmless and/or exoneration rights provided for in this
Agreement are unavailable to Indemnitee in whole or in part for any reason
whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying, holding harmless or
exonerating Indemnitee, shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount
incurred by Indemnitee, whether for judgments, liabilities, fines, penalties,
amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection with
any Proceeding without requiring Indemnitee to contribute to the payment, and
the Company hereby waives and relinquishes any right of contribution it may have
at any time against Indemnitee.

 

(b) The Company shall not enter into any settlement of any Proceeding in which
the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in the
Proceeding) unless the settlement provides for a full and final release of all
claims asserted against Indemnitee.

 

(c) The Company shall fully indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee
from any claims for contribution which may be brought by officers, directors or
employees of the Company other than Indemnitee who may be jointly liable with
Indemnitee.

 

9. EXCLUSIONS. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Company
shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnification, advance
expenses, hold harmless or exoneration payment in connection with any claim made
against Indemnitee:

 

(a) for which payment has actually been received by or on behalf of Indemnitee
under any insurance policy or other indemnity or advancement provision, except
with respect to any excess beyond the amount actually received under any
insurance policy, contract, agreement, other indemnity or advancement provision
or otherwise;

 

6

 

 

(b) for an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and
purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of
Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act (or any successor rule) or similar provisions
of state statutory law or common law; or

 

(c) in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated
by Indemnitee, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding)
initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors, officers,
employees or other indemnitees, unless, as provided pursuant to Section 8.1 of
the Bylaws (or that provision as revised, amended or re-numbered), (i) the
proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors, or (ii) the indemnification
is required to be made under Section 8.3 of the Bylaws, or any such provision as
revised, amended or re-numbered, addressing the enforcement of an Indemnitee’s
indemnification rights. Indemnitee shall seek payments or advances from the
Company only to the extent that the payments or advances are unavailable from
any insurance policy of the Company covering Indemnitee.

 

10. ADVANCES OF EXPENSES; DEFENSE OF CLAIM.

 

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, the Company shall pay the
Expenses incurred by Indemnitee (or reasonably expected by Indemnitee to be
incurred by Indemnitee within three months) in connection with any Proceeding
within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements
requesting advances from time to time, prior to the final disposition of any
Proceeding. Advances shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be unsecured
and interest free. Advances shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be
made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the Expenses and without
regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to be indemnified, held harmless or
exonerated under the other provisions of this Agreement. Advances shall include
any and all reasonable Expenses incurred pursuing a Proceeding to enforce this
right of advancement, including Expenses incurred preparing and forwarding
statements to the Company to support the advances claimed. To the fullest extent
required by applicable law, payments of Expenses in advance of the final
disposition of the Proceeding shall be made only upon the Company’s receipt of
an undertaking, by or on behalf of Indemnitee, to repay the advanced amounts to
the extent that it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to
be indemnified, held harmless or exonerated by the Company under the provisions
of this Agreement, the Charter, the Bylaws, applicable law or otherwise. This
Section 10(a) shall not apply to any claim made by Indemnitee for which an
indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration payment is excluded pursuant to
Section 9.

 

(b) The Company will be entitled to participate in the Proceeding at its own
expense.

 

(c) The Company shall not settle any action, claim or Proceeding (in whole or in
part) which would impose any Expense, judgment, liability, fine, penalty or
limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s prior written consent.

11. PROCEDURE FOR NOTIFICATION AND APPLICATION FOR INDEMNIFICATION.

 

(a) Promptly after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any
action, suit or proceeding, Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is
to be made against the Company hereunder, notify the Company in writing of the
commencement thereof. The failure to promptly notify the Company of the
commencement of the action, suit or proceeding, or of Indemnitee’s request for
indemnification, will not relieve the Company from any liability that it may
have to Indemnitee hereunder, except to the extent the Company is actually and
materially prejudiced in its defense of the action, suit or proceeding as a
result of the failure. To obtain indemnification under this Agreement,
Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request therefor including any
documentation and information reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably
necessary to enable the Company to determine whether and to what extent
Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification.

 

(b) With respect to any action, suit or proceeding of which the Company is
notified as provided in this Agreement, the Company shall, subject to the last
two sentences of this paragraph, be entitled to assume the defense of the
action, suit or proceeding, with counsel reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee,
upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election to do so.
After delivery of the notice, approval of that counsel by Indemnitee and the
retention of that counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to
Indemnitee under this Agreement for any subsequently-incurred fees of separate
counsel engaged by Indemnitee with respect to the same action, suit or
proceeding unless the employment of separate counsel by Indemnitee has been
previously authorized in writing by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if Indemnitee, based on the advice of his or her counsel, reasonably concludes
(with written notice being given to the Company setting forth the basis for the
conclusion) that, in the conduct of the defense, there is or is reasonably
likely to be a conflict of interest or position between the Company and
Indemnitee with respect to a significant issue, then the Company will not be
entitled, without the written consent of Indemnitee, to assume the defense. In
addition, the Company will not be entitled, without the written consent of
Indemnitee, to assume the defense of any claim brought by or in the right of the
Company.

 

(c) To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, the Company’s assumption of the
defense of an action, suit or proceeding in accordance with Section 11(b) will
constitute an irrevocable acknowledgement by the Company that any loss and
liability suffered by Indemnitee and expenses (including attorneys’ fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement by or for the account of
Indemnitee incurred in connection therewith are indemnifiable by the Company
under this Agreement.

 

(d) The determination whether to grant Indemnitee’s indemnification request
shall be made promptly and in any event within 30 days following the Company’s
receipt of a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 11(a). If
the Company determines that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or, as
contemplated by Section 11(c), the Company has acknowledged the entitlement, the
Company will make payment to Indemnitee of the indemnifiable amount within the
30 day period. If the Company is not deemed to have acknowledged the entitlement
or the Company’s determination of whether to grant Indemnitee’s indemnification
request has not been made within the 30 day period, the requisite determination
of entitlement to indemnification shall, subject to Section 9, nonetheless be
deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification,
absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a
material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially
misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a
prohibition of indemnification under the DGCL.

 

8

 

 

(e) If (i) the Company determines that Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) the Company denies a request for
indemnification, in whole or in part, or fails to respond or make a
determination of entitlement to indemnification within 30 days following receipt
of a request for indemnification as described above, (iii) payment of
indemnification is not made within the 30 day period, (iv) advancement of
Expenses is not timely made in accordance with Section 10, or (v) the Company or
any other person takes or threatens to take any action to declare this Agreement
void or unenforceable, or institutes any litigation or other action or
proceeding designed to deny, or to recover from, the Indemnitee the benefits
provided or intended to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder, Indemnitee shall be
entitled to an adjudication in any court of competent jurisdiction of his or her
entitlement to indemnification or advancement of Expenses. Indemnitee’s Expenses
incurred in connection with successfully establishing Indemnitee’s right to
indemnification or advancement of Expenses, in whole or in part, in any such
proceeding or otherwise shall also be indemnified by the Company to the fullest
extent permitted by the DGCL.

 

(f) Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification and
advancement of Expenses under this Agreement upon submission of a request
therefor in accordance with Section 10 or Section 11, as the case may be. The
Company shall have the burden of proof in overcoming the presumption, and the
presumption shall be used as a basis for a determination of entitlement to
indemnification and advancement of Expenses unless the Company overcomes the
presumption by clear and convincing evidence.

 

(g) If there is a change in control of the Company, then with respect to all
matters thereafter arising concerning the rights of Indemnitee to
indemnification and advancement of expenses under this Agreement, any other
agreement or the Company’s Charter or Bylaws now or hereafter in effect, the
Company shall seek legal advice only from independent counsel selected by
Indemnitee and approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld). In addition, upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification
pursuant to Section 11(a), a determination, if required by the DGCL, with
respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made by the independent
counsel in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be
delivered to Indemnitee. The Company shall pay the reasonable fees of the
independent counsel referred to above.

 

12. SECURITY. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent
requested by Indemnitee and approved by the Board, the Company may at any time
and from time to time provide security to Indemnitee for the Company’s
obligations hereunder through an irrevocable bank line of credit, funded trust
or other collateral. Any such security, once provided to Indemnitee, may not be
revoked or released without the prior written consent of Indemnitee.

13. NON-EXCLUSIVITY; SURVIVAL OF RIGHTS; INSURANCE; SUBROGATION.

 

(a) The rights of Indemnitee as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled
under applicable law, the Charter, the Bylaws, any agreement, a vote of
stockholders or a resolution of directors, or otherwise. No amendment,
alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or
restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any
Proceeding (regardless of when the Proceeding is first threatened, commenced or
completed) or claim, issue or matter therein arising out of, or related to, any
action taken or omitted by Indemnitee in Indemnitee’s Corporate Status prior to
the amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in applicable
law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification,
hold harmless or exoneration rights or advancement of Expenses than would be
afforded currently under the Charter, the Bylaws or this Agreement, it is the
intent of the parties that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater
benefits so afforded by the change. No right or remedy herein conferred is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and
remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The
assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall
not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.

 

(b) The DGCL, the Charter and the Bylaws permit the Company to purchase and
maintain insurance or furnish similar protection or make other arrangements
including, but not limited to, providing a trust fund, letter of credit, or
surety bond (“Indemnification Arrangements”) on behalf of Indemnitee against any
liability asserted against Indemnitee or incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee
or in the capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or
arising out of Indemnitee’s status as such, whether or not the Company would
have the power to indemnify Indemnitee against that liability under the
provisions of this Agreement or under the DGCL, as it may then be in effect. The
purchase, establishment, and maintenance of any Indemnification Arrangement
shall not in any way limit or affect the rights and obligations of the Company
or of Indemnitee under this Agreement except as expressly provided herein, and
the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and Indemnitee shall
not in any way limit or affect the rights and obligations of the Company or the
other party or parties thereto under any Indemnification Arrangement.

 

(c) To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies
providing liability insurance for directors, officers, trustees, partners,
managers, managing members, fiduciaries, employees, or agents of the Company or
of any other Enterprise which the person serves at the request of the Company,
Indemnitee shall be covered by the policy or policies in accordance with its or
their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any director,
officer, trustee, partner, managers, managing member, fiduciary, employee or
agent under the policy or policies. If, at the time the Company receives notice
from any source of a Proceeding as to which Indemnitee is a party or a
participant (as a witness, deponent or otherwise), the Company has director and
officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of
the Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in
the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or
desirable action to cause the insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all
amounts payable as a result of the Proceeding in accordance with the terms of
the policies.

(d) In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, shall be subrogated to the extent of the
payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all
papers required and take all action necessary to secure those rights, including
execution of any documents necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to
enforce those rights.

 

(e) The Company’s obligation to indemnify, hold harmless, exonerate or advance
Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request of the
Company as a director, officer, trustee, partner, manager, managing member,
fiduciary, employee or agent of any other Enterprise shall be reduced by any
amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification, hold harmless or
exoneration payments or advancement of expenses from the Enterprise.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (i)
Indemnitee shall have no obligation to reduce, offset, allocate, pursue or
apportion any indemnification, hold harmless, exoneration, advancement,
contribution or insurance coverage among multiple parties possessing those
duties to Indemnitee prior to the Company’s satisfaction and performance of all
its obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) the Company shall perform fully
its obligations under this Agreement without regard to whether Indemnitee holds,
may pursue or has pursued any indemnification, advancement, hold harmless,
exoneration, contribution or insurance coverage rights against any person or
entity other than the Company.

 

14. DURATION OF AGREEMENT. All agreements and obligations of the Company
contained herein shall continue during the period Indemnitee serves as a
director or officer of the Company or as a director, officer, trustee, partner,
manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other Enterprise
which Indemnitee serves at the request of the Company and shall continue
thereafter so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any possible Proceeding
(including any rights of appeal thereto and any Proceeding commenced by
Indemnitee pursuant to Section 8.3 of this Agreement) by reason of Indemnitee’s
Corporate Status, whether or not Indemnitee is acting in any such capacity at
the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification or
advancement can be provided under this Agreement.

 

15. SEVERABILITY. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement are held to
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section, paragraph
or sentence of this Agreement containing the provision held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable)
shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain
enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; (b) the provision or
provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to
applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties
hereto; and (c) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement
(including, without limitation, each portion of any Section, paragraph, sentence
or clause of this Agreement containing the provision held to be invalid, illegal
or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be
construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby.

 

11

 

 

16. ENFORCEMENT AND BINDING EFFECT.

 

(a) The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this
Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce
Indemnitee to serve as a director, officer or key employee of the Company, and
the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in
serving as a director, officer or key employee of the Company.

 

(b) Without limiting any of the rights of Indemnitee under the Charter or Bylaws
as they may be amended from time to time, this Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied,
between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

 

(c) The indemnification, hold harmless, exoneration and advancement of expenses
rights provided by or granted pursuant to this Agreement shall be binding upon
and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns
(including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation
or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the
Company), shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Company or a director, officer, trustee,
general partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any
other Enterprise at the Company’s request, and shall inure to the benefit of
Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s spouse, assigns, heirs, devisees, executors and
administrators and other legal representatives.

 

(d) The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or
indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially
all or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the Company, by
written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to
assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same
extent that the Company would be required to perform if no succession had taken
place.

 

(e) The Company and Indemnitee acknowledge that a monetary remedy for breach of
this Agreement, at some later date, may be inadequate, impracticable and
difficult of proof, and further agree that a breach may cause Indemnitee
irreparable harm. Accordingly, Indemnitee may, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, enforce this Agreement by seeking, among other things, injunctive relief
and/or specific performance hereof, without any necessity of showing actual
damage or irreparable harm and that by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific
performance, Indemnitee shall not be precluded from seeking or obtaining any
other relief to which Indemnitee may be entitled. Indemnitee shall, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, be entitled to specific performance and
injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary
injunctions and permanent injunctions, without the necessity of posting bonds or
other undertaking in connection therewith. The Company acknowledges that in the
absence of a waiver, a bond or undertaking may be required of Indemnitee by a
court of competent jurisdiction. The Company hereby waives any such requirement
of such a bond or undertaking to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

17. MODIFICATION AND WAIVER. No supplement, modification or amendment of this
Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the Company and
Indemnitee. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed
or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions of this Agreement nor shall
any waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

20. IDENTICAL COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original
but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Delivery
of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or

21. MISCELLANEOUS. Use of the masculine pronoun shall be deemed to include usage
of the feminine pronoun where appropriate. The headings of the paragraphs of

22. PERIOD OF LIMITATIONS. No legal action shall be brought and no cause of
action shall be asserted by or in the right of the Company against Indemnitee,
Indemnitee’s spouse, heirs, executors or personal or legal representatives after
the expiration of two years from the date of accrual of such cause of action,
and any claim or cause of action of the Company shall be extinguished and deemed
released unless asserted by the timely filing of a legal action within such
two-year period; provided, however, that if any shorter period of limitations is
otherwise applicable to any such cause of action such shorter period shall
govern.

 

23. ADDITIONAL ACTS. If for the validation of any of the provisions in this
Agreement any act, resolution, approval or other procedure is required to the
fullest extent permitted by law, the Company undertakes to cause the act,
resolution, approval or other procedure to be affected or adopted in a manner
that will enable the Company to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.

 

24. MAINTENANCE OF INSURANCE. The Company shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain and maintain in effect during the entire period for which the
Company is obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement, one or
more policies of insurance with reputable insurance companies to provide the
officers/directors of the Company with coverage for losses from wrongful acts
and omissions and to ensure the Company’s performance of its indemnification
obligations under this Agreement. Indemnitee shall be covered by the policy or
policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the
coverage available for any such director or officer under the policy or
policies. In all such insurance policies, Indemnitee shall be named as an
insured in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee with the same rights and
benefits as are accorded to the most favorably insured of the Company’s
directors and officers.
