Exhibit 10.1

 

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

 

This Indemnification Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of [INSERT DATE] by
and between Bank of Commerce Holdings, a California corporation (the “Company”),
and [INSERT NAME] (“Indemnitee”). Certain terms used herein are defined in
Section 11 of this Agreement.

 

WHEREAS, the Company and Indemnitee recognize the increasing difficulty in
obtaining liability insurance for directors, officers and key employees, the
significant increases in the cost of such insurance and the general reductions
in the coverage of such insurance;

 

WHEREAS, the Company and Indemnitee further recognize the substantial increase
in corporate litigation in general, subjecting directors, officers and key
employees to expensive litigation risks at the same time as the availability and
coverage of liability insurance has been severely limited; and

 

WHEREAS, the Company and its Subsidiaries desire to attract and retain the
services of highly qualified individuals, such as Indemnitee, and to indemnify
its directors, officers and key employees so as to provide them with the maximum
protection permitted by law.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises made in this Agreement,
and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and Indemnitee hereby agree as
follows:

 

1.

Indemnification

 

 

(a)

Third Party Proceedings. In connection with any Proceeding other than a
Proceeding instituted by or in the right of the Company, the Company shall
indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses and Liabilities, in either
case, actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf
by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status unless the Company shall establish
that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably
believed to be in the best interest of the Company and/or a Subsidiary of the
Company, and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause
to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding
by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or
its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did
not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and/or a Subsidiary of
the Company, as applicable, or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that
Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was
unlawful.

 

 

(b)

Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company. In
connection with any Proceeding instituted by or in the right of the Company or
any Subsidiary of the Company, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against
any and all Expenses and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, amounts paid
in settlement, in each case to the extent actually and reasonably incurred by
Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status
unless the Company shall establish that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and
in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the
Company and its shareholders, except that no indemnification shall be made in
respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the Company or any such Subsidiary in the performance
of Indemnitee’s duty to the Company or such Subsidiary unless and only to the
extent that the court in which such Proceeding is or was pending shall determine
upon application that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee
is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for Expenses or amounts paid in
settlement and then only to the extent that the court shall determine.

 

1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

 

(c)

Witness Expenses. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the
extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his or her Corporate Status, a witness
in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, he or she shall be
indemnified against all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee or on his or her behalf
in connection therewith.

 

2.

Advancement of Expenses; Indemnification Procedure

 

 

(a)

Advancement of Expenses. The Company shall advance all Expenses incurred by
Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding referred to in Section 1(a) or
Section 1(b) of this Agreement (but not amounts actually paid in settlement of
any such Proceeding). Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay such amounts
advanced only if, and to the extent that, it shall ultimately be determined that
Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized
hereby.

 

 

(b)

Notice/Cooperation by Indemnitee. Indemnitee shall, as a condition precedent to
his or her right to be indemnified under this Agreement, give the Company notice
in writing as soon as practicable of any claim made against Indemnitee for which
indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement. Notice to the
Company shall be directed to the Corporate Secretary of the Company and shall be
given in accordance with the provisions of Section 12(e) hereof. In addition,
Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and cooperation as it may
reasonably require and as shall be within Indemnitee’s power.

 

 

(c)

Procedure. Any indemnification and advances provided for in Section 1 hereof and
this Section 2 shall be made no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the
written request of Indemnitee. If a claim under this Agreement, under any
statute, or under any provision of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or
Bylaws providing for indemnification, is not paid in full by the Company within
thirty (30) days after a written request for payment thereof has first been
received by the Company, Indemnitee may, but need not, at any time thereafter
bring an action against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim
and, subject to Section 8 hereof, Indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid
for the Expenses of bringing and prosecuting such action. It shall be a defense
to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for Expenses
incurred in connection with any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition)
that Indemnitee has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible
under applicable law for the Company to indemnify Indemnitee for the amount
claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Company and
Indemnitee shall be entitled to receive interim payments of Expenses pursuant to
Section 2(a) hereof unless and until such defense may be finally adjudicated by
court order or judgment from which no further right of appeal exists. It is the
parties’ intention that if the Company contests Indemnitee’s right to
indemnification, the question of Indemnitee’s right to indemnification shall be
for the court to decide, and neither the failure of the Company (including its
Board of Directors, any committee or subgroup of the Board of Directors,
independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) to have made a determination
that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because
Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct required by applicable
law, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its Board of
Directors, any committee or subgroup of the Board of Directors, independent
legal counsel, or its shareholders) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable
standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that Indemnitee has or has not
met the applicable standard of conduct.

 

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

 

(d)

Notice to Insurers. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim
pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, the Company has director and officer liability
insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of such claim to the
Company’s insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective
policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to
cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a
result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.

 

 

(e)

Selection of Counsel. In the event the Company shall be obligated under Section
2(a) hereof to pay the Expenses of any Proceeding against Indemnitee, the
Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Proceeding, with counsel
approved by Indemnitee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
unduly delayed), upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its
election to do so. After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by
Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will
not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel
subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same Proceeding,
provided that (i) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ counsel in any such
Proceeding at Indemnitee’s expense and (ii) if (A) the employment of counsel by
Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, (B) Indemnitee shall
have reasonably concluded in good faith that there may be a conflict of interest
between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense or (C) the
Company shall not, in fact, have employed counsel to assume the defense of such
Proceeding, then the reasonable fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel shall
be at the expense of the Company.

 

3.

Additional Indemnification Rights; Nonexclusivity

 

 

(a)

Scope. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company hereby
agrees to indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law,
notwithstanding that such indemnification is not specifically authorized by the
other provisions of this Agreement, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, the
Company’s Bylaws, the charter documents of any Subsidiary of the Company or by
statute. In the event of any change, after the date of this Agreement, in any
applicable law, statute or rule which expands the right of a California
corporation to indemnify a member of its or a Subsidiary’s board of directors or
an officer, such changes shall be deemed to be within the purview of
Indemnitee’s rights and the Company’s obligations under this Agreement. In the
event of any change in any applicable law, statute or rule which narrows the
right of a California corporation to indemnify a member of its or a Subsidiary’s
board of directors or an officer, such changes, to the extent not otherwise
required by such law, statute or rule to be applied to this Agreement shall have
no effect on this Agreement or the parties’ rights and obligations hereunder.

 

 

(b)

Nonexclusivity. The indemnification provided by this Agreement shall not be
deemed exclusive of any rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled under the
Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, the charter documents of any
Subsidiary of the Company, any agreement, any vote of shareholders or
disinterested members of the Company’s or a Subsidiary’s Board of Directors, the
General Corporation Law of the State of California, or otherwise, both as to
action in Indemnitee’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity
while holding such office. The indemnification provided under this Agreement
shall continue as to Indemnitee for any action taken or not taken while serving
in an indemnified capacity even though he or she may have ceased to serve in any
such capacity at the time of any covered Proceeding.

 

4.

Partial Indemnification

 

If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to
indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the Expenses and
Labilities actually or reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in any Proceeding, but
not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless
indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses and Liabilities to which
Indemnitee is entitled.

 

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

5.

Mutual Acknowledgment

 

Both the Company and Indemnitee acknowledge that in certain instances, federal
law or public policy may prohibit the Company from indemnifying its directors
and officers, and/or the directors and officers of its Subsidiaries, under this
Agreement or otherwise. For example, the Company and Indemnitee acknowledge that
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has taken the position that
indemnification is not permissible for liabilities arising under certain federal
securities laws, and federal legislation prohibits indemnification for certain
ERISA violations. Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the Company has
undertaken or may be required in the future in certain circumstances to
undertake with the SEC to submit the question of indemnification to a court for
a determination of the Company’s right under public policy to indemnify
Indemnitee and, in that event, Indemnitee’s rights and the Company’s obligations
hereunder shall be subject to that determination.

 

6.

Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance

 

The Company shall, from time to time, make the good faith determination whether
or not it is practicable for the Company to obtain and maintain a policy or
policies of insurance with reputable insurance companies providing the officers
and directors of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries with coverage for
losses from wrongful acts, or to ensure the Company’s performance of its
indemnification obligations under this Agreement. Among other considerations,
the Company will weigh the costs of obtaining such insurance coverage against
the protection afforded by such coverage. In all policies of director and
officer liability insurance, Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a
manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are accorded to
the most favorably insured of the Company’s and/or any of its Subsidiaries’
directors, if Indemnitee is a director; or of the Company’s and/or any of its
Subsidiaries’ officers, if Indemnitee is not a director of the Company and/or
any of its Subsidiaries but is an officer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company shall have no obligation to obtain or maintain such insurance if the
Company determines in good faith that such insurance is not reasonably
available, if the premium costs for such insurance are disproportionate to the
amount of coverage provided, if the coverage provided by such insurance is
limited by exclusions so as to provide an insufficient benefit, or if Indemnitee
is covered by similar insurance maintained by a parent or Subsidiary of the
Company.

 

7.

Severability

 

Nothing in this Agreement is intended to require or shall be construed as
requiring the Company to do or fail to do any act in violation of applicable
law. The Company’s inability, pursuant to court order, to perform its
obligations under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this
Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable as provided in
this Section 7. If this Agreement or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on
any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall
nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee to the full extent permitted by any applicable
portion of this Agreement that shall not have been invalidated, and the balance
of this Agreement not so invalidated shall be enforceable in accordance with its
terms.

 

8.

Exceptions

 

Any other provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall
not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement:

 

 

(a)

Excluded Acts. To indemnify Indemnitee for any acts or omissions or transactions
for which a director, officer, employee or agent may not be relieved of
liability under applicable law (including, without limitation, any applicable
federal or state banking laws or regulations);

 

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

 

(b)

Claims Initiated by Indemnitee. To indemnify or advance Expenses to Indemnitee
with respect to any Proceeding initiated or brought voluntarily by Indemnitee
and not by way of defense, except with respect to Proceedings brought to
establish or enforce a right to indemnification under this Agreement or any
other statute or law or otherwise as required under Section 317 of the
California Corporations Code, but such indemnification or advancement of
Expenses may be provided by the Company in specific cases if the Company’s Board
of Directors has approved the initiation or bringing of such Proceeding;

 

 

(c)

Lack of Good Faith. To indemnify Indemnitee for any Expenses incurred by
Indemnitee with respect to any Proceeding instituted by Indemnitee to enforce or
interpret this Agreement, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that
the material assertions made by Indemnitee in such Proceeding were not made in
good faith or were frivolous;

 

 

(d)

Insured Claims. To indemnify Indemnitee for Expenses or Liabilities that have
been paid directly to Indemnitee by an insurance carrier under a policy of
officers’ and directors’ liability insurance maintained by the Company and/or
any of its Subsidiaries;

 

 

(e)

Claims under Section 16(b). To indemnify Indemnitee for Expenses or the payment
of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in
violation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or any similar successor statute;
or

 

 

(f)

Claims under Sarbanes-Oxley Act. To indemnify Indemnitee for any reimbursement
of the Company by Indemnitee of any bonus or other incentive-based or
equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by Indemnitee from the sale
of securities of the Company, as required in each case under the Exchange Act
(including any such reimbursements that arise from an accounting restatement of
the Company pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or the payment to
the Company of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of
securities in violation of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act).

 

9.

Contribution

 

To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification
provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason
whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to
the amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for Liabilities and/or Expenses, in
connection with any Proceeding relating to an indemnifiable event under this
Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all
of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect: (i) the relative
benefits received by the Company and its Subsidiaries and Indemnitee as a result
of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such Proceeding; and/or
(ii) the relative fault of the Company (and/or its Subsidiaries’ directors,
officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s)
and/or transaction(s).

 

10.

Effectiveness of Agreement

 

This Agreement shall be effective as of the date hereof and shall apply to acts
or omissions of Indemnitee which occurred prior to such date if Indemnitee was
serving in any Corporate Status at the time such act or omission occurred.
