INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

This Agreement, made and entered into as of the [______________] day of
[_____________], 2017 (“Agreement”), by and between Snap Interactive, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (“Company”), and [_____________________] (“Indemnitee”):

WHEREAS, highly competent persons may be reluctant to serve as directors,
officers, employees, fiduciaries and other agents (“Representatives”) of
corporations unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance
or adequate indemnification against risks of claims and actions against them
arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of such corporations;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has determined that difficulties
in attracting and retaining such persons are detrimental to the best interests
of the Company’s stockholders and that the Company should act to assure such
persons that there will be increased certainty of such protection in the future;

WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually
to obligate itself to indemnify such persons as set forth herein so that they
will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they
will not be so indemnified; and

WHEREAS, Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve and/or to take on
additional service for or on behalf of the Company on the condition that
Indemnitee be so indemnified.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained
herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

Proceeding).

notify the Company hereunder shall not relieve the Company from any liability

amended, or other applicable law or the organizational documents of the Company
after the date of this Agreement, and subject to the exceptions set forth in
Section 4.05 herein, if Indemnitee was or is, or is threatened to be made, a
party to any Proceeding by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, the Company
shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in
effect on the date hereof and to such greater extent as applicable law may
thereafter from time to time permit if Indemnitee acted in Good Faith. The
rights to indemnification and to the advancement of Expenses conferred in this
Agreement shall apply to claims made against an Indemnitee arising out of acts
or omissions which occurred or occur both prior and subsequent to the adoption
hereof, but in any event not prior to the later of (x) October 7, 2016 and (y)
the date on which Indemnitee became a Representative of the Company. The rights
to indemnification and to the advancement of Expenses hereunder shall only apply
to a Proceeding initiated by Indemnitee if (x) Indemnitee seeks to enforce
Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII of this
Agreement or (y) the Company has joined in or the Board has consented to the
initiation of such Proceeding.

4.02          Proceedings Other Than Proceedings by or in the Right of the
Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided
in this Section 4.02 if, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, Indemnitee
was or is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any
Proceeding, other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company.
Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with such
Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in Good
Faith (provided that the foregoing limitation shall not limit Indemnitee’s right
to the advancement of Expenses under Article V of this Agreement).

 5 

 

4.03          Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Indemnitee shall be
entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section 4.03 if, by
reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, Indemnitee was or is, or is threatened
to be made, a party to or is otherwise involved in any Proceeding brought by or
in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Indemnitee shall
be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by
Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any
claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in Good Faith (provided that
the foregoing limitation shall not limit Indemnitee’s right to the advancement
of Expenses under Article V of this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no such indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter
in such Proceeding as to which Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudged by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be liable to the Company unless and only to
the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State Delaware or the court in
which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that,
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of
the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
Expenses which the Court of Chancery of the State Delaware or such other court
shall deem proper.

4.04          Indemnification of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful.
Subject to the exceptions set forth in Section 4.05 herein, to the extent that
Indemnitee was or is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a party to and
is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any Proceeding,
Indemnitee shall be indemnified to the maximum extent permitted by law, against
all Expenses, actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s
behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein.
Subject to the exceptions set forth in Section 4.05, if Indemnitee is not wholly
successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as
to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding,
the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the maximum extent permitted by law,
against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on
Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue
or matter. For purposes of this Section 4.04 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 such
claim, issue or matter, so long as there has been no finding (either adjudicated
or pursuant to Article VI) that Indemnitee did not act in Good Faith.

4.05          Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
Company shall not be obligated to advance any amounts paid or to be paid by
Indemnitee to third parties as damages, losses, liabilities, judgments, fines
and penalties (whether civil, criminal, or other), and amounts paid or to be
paid in settlement, in each case solely arising from a final and non-appealable
decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, and to indemnify the Indemnitee
pursuant to this Agreement with respect to:

(a)Indemnitee's reimbursement to the Company of any bonus or other
incentive-based or equity-based compensation previously received by Indemnitee
or payment of any profits realized by Indemnitee from the sale of securities of
the Company, as required in each case under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (including any such reimbursements under Section
304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act in connection with an accounting
restatement of the Company or the payment to the Company of profits arising from
the purchase or sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 306 of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act);

 6 

 

 

(b)Expenses incurred on account of any Proceeding in which final judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction is rendered against the Indemnitee for an
accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by the Indemnitee of
securities of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section l6(b) of the
Exchange Act, or similar provisions of any federal, state or local law;

(c)Expenses incurred on account of the Indemnitee’s conduct which is finally
adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been: (1) a breach of the
duty of loyalty owed to the Company, (2) an act or omission which was not in
Good Faith, (3) an act or omission which involved intentional misconduct or,
with respect to any criminal Proceeding, a knowing violation of law, or (4) a
transaction from which the Indemnitee derived an improper personal benefit; or

(d)if a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction in the matter shall
determine that such indemnification is prohibited by applicable law or is not
lawful as against public policy.

For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth in this Section 4.05, the Company shall be obligated to advance to
Indemnitee any and all Expenses with respect to the foregoing matters set forth
in this Section 4.05 other than such payments as are specifically mentioned in
the introductory clause of this Section 4.05.

4.06          Indemnification for Expenses as a Witness. To the extent that
Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a witness in any
Proceeding, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and
reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection
therewith.

Article V
ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES

5.01          Statement of Expenses. The Company shall advance all Expenses
which, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, were incurred by or on behalf
of Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding, within thirty (30) days after
the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from Indemnitee
requesting such advance or advances, whether prior to or after final disposition
of such Proceeding. Indemnitee’s right to such advancement is not subject to the
satisfaction of any standard of conduct. Such statement or statements shall
reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall include or be
preceded or accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay
any Expenses if it shall ultimately be determined by a final judgment of a court
of competent jurisdiction that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified
against such Expenses under this Agreement.

 7 

 

5.02          Assumption of Defense.  In the event the Company (i) shall be
obligated to advance the Expenses for any Proceeding against Indemnitee by a
third party and (ii) acknowledges the Company’s obligation to indemnify the
Indemnitee with respect to such Proceeding (subject to the terms of this
Agreement), the Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of such
Proceeding as provided herein. Such defense by the Company may include the
representation of two or more parties by one attorney or law firm as permitted
under the ethical rules and legal requirements related to joint representations,
subject to exceptions set forth below in the event of a potential conflict of
interest. Following delivery of written notice to Indemnitee of the Company’s
election to assume the defense of such Proceeding and the Company’s
acknowledgment of its indemnification obligation with respect to such
Proceeding, the approval by Indemnitee (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld) of counsel designated by the Company and the retention of such counsel
by the Company, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this
Agreement for any fees and Expenses of separate counsel subsequently incurred by
Indemnitee with respect to the same Proceeding so long as such Proceeding is
diligently defended, as reasonably determined by Indemnitee. For the avoidance
of doubt, but not by way of limitation, a potential conflict of interest shall
be deemed a reasonable basis for the Indemnitee to withhold consent under this
Section 5.02. If (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been authorized
by the Company, (ii) Indemnitee shall have notified the Board in writing that
Indemnitee has reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest
between the Company (or any other co-clients as provided above) and Indemnitee
in the conduct of any such defense, or that there may be one or more legal
defenses available to Indemnitee that are different from or additional to those
available to other persons, (iii) the Company fails to employ counsel to assume
the defense of such Proceeding or (iv) a Change of Control has occurred, the
fees and Expenses of Indemnitee’s own counsel shall be subject to
indemnification and/or advancement pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
Nothing herein shall prevent Indemnitee from employing counsel for any such
Proceeding at Indemnitee’s own expense. The Company shall not settle any
Proceeding in any manner that would impose any expense, penalty or limitation on
Indemnitee, or that would contain any language that could reasonably be viewed
as an acknowledgment of wrongdoing on Indemnitee’s part or otherwise detrimental
to Indemnitee’s reputation, without Indemnitee’s prior written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Article VI
PROCEDURES FOR DETERMINATION OF ENTITLEMENT TO INDEMNIFICATION

6.01          Initial Request. To obtain indemnification under this Agreement,
Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including therein or
therewith a brief description of the matter with respect to which Indemnitee may
be entitled to indemnification hereunder, including such documents as are
reasonably available to Indemnitee and all relevant facts and circumstances
within the Indemnitee’s personal knowledge, in each case, relating to such
matter. The Secretary or any other officer of the Company shall promptly advise
the Board in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification.

6.02          Method of Determination. A determination (if required by
applicable law) with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification
shall be made within forty-five (45) days of receipt by the Company of the
request for indemnification, as follows:

(a)If a Change of Control has occurred, unless Indemnitee shall request in
writing that such determination be made in accordance with clause (b) of this
Section 6.02, the determination shall be made by Independent Counsel in a
written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee.

(b)If a Change of Control has not occurred, and subject to Section 6.03, the
determination shall be made by (i) a majority vote of the Disinterested
Directors, even though less than a quorum; (ii) by a committee of Disinterested
Directors designated by majority vote of such Disinterested Directors, even
though less than a quorum; (iii) if there are no such Disinterested Directors,
by the Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, or (iv) by the
Company’s stockholders.

6.03          Selection, Payment, Discharge, of Independent Counsel. In the
event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by
Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 6.02 of this Agreement, the Independent
Counsel shall be selected, paid and discharged in the following manner:

(a)If a Change of Control has not occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be
selected by the Board, and the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee
advising Indemnitee of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. Such
Independent Counsel shall be approved by Indemnitee, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b)If a Change of Control has occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be
selected the by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection
be made by the Board, in which event clause (a) of this Section 6.03(b) shall
apply) and approved by the Board, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 9 

 

 

(c)Following the initial selection described in clauses (a) and (b) of this
Section 6.03, Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, may, within seven
(7) days after such written notice of selection has been given, deliver to the
other party a written objection to such selection. Such objection may be
asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel does not meet the
criteria set forth in Section 1.10 of this Agreement, and the objection shall
set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a
proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent
Counsel. If such written objection is made, the Independent Counsel so selected
may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until a court has determined
that such objection is without merit.

(d)Either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the Court of Chancery of the
State of Delaware or other court of competent jurisdiction if the parties have
been unable to agree on the selection of Independent Counsel within thirty (30)
days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification
pursuant to Section 6.01 of this Agreement. Such petition may request a
determination whether an objection to the party’s selection is without merit
and/or seek the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the
Court or by such other person as the Court shall designate. A person so
appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 6.02 of this Agreement.

(e)The Company shall pay any and all reasonable fees and Expenses of Independent
Counsel incurred by such Independent Counsel in connection with acting pursuant
to this Agreement, and the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and Expenses
incident to the procedures of this Section 6.03, regardless of the manner in
which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed.

6.04          Company Response. If a determination by the Company that
Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement is
required, and the Company fails to respond within forty-five (45) days to a
written request for indemnity, the Company shall be deemed to have approved the
request.

6.05          Cooperation. Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons
or entity making the determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to
indemnification under this Agreement, including providing to such person,
persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or
information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and
which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such
determination. Any Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the
person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the
Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to
indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold
Indemnitee harmless therefrom.

 10 

 

 

6.06          Payment. If it is determined that Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within forty-five (45) days
after such determination. Similarly, if the Company shall be deemed to have

Agreement, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ninety (90) days after the
date on which a written request for indemnification is delivered to the Company.

6.07          Reservation of Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, the Company shall have the obligation to advance to the Indemnitee any
Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in accordance with Article V of this Agreement;
provided, however, that all amounts advanced in respect of such Expenses shall
be repaid to the Company by Indemnitee to the extent it shall be determined in a
final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that Indemnitee is not
entitled to be indemnified for such Expenses.

Article VII
PRESUMPTIONS

7.01          Effect of Other Proceedings. The termination of any action, suit
or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo
contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided
in this Agreement) be conclusive as to the right of Indemnitee to
indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in Good
Faith.

7.02          Reliance as Safe Harbor. For purposes of any determination of Good
Faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in Good Faith if Indemnitee’s
action is based on the records or books of account of the Enterprise, including
financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers
of the Enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal
counsel for or other professional advisors to the Enterprise or on information
or records given or reports made to the Enterprise by an independent certified
public accountant or by an appraiser or the expert selected with reasonable care
by the Enterprise. The provisions of this Section 7.02 shall not be deemed to be
exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which the Indemnitee

Agreement within forty-five (45) days after receipt by the Company of a written
request therefore; or

(e)payment of indemnification is not made within forty-five (45) days after a
determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or,
if the Company fails to respond to a written request for indemnification as set
forth in Section 6.04 of this Agreement, payment of indemnification is not made
within ninety (90) days after the date on which a written request for
indemnification is delivered to the Company.

8.02          Adjudication. In the event of a Dispute, Indemnitee shall be
entitled to an adjudication in an appropriate court of the State of Delaware, or
in any other court of competent jurisdiction, of Indemnitee’s entitlement to
such indemnification or advancement of Expenses. Indemnitee shall commence such
proceeding seeking adjudication within one hundred and eighty (180) days
following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right, or reasonably should
have been aware that it has the right, to commence such proceeding pursuant to
this Section 8.02.

8.03          De Novo Review. In the event that a determination shall have been
made pursuant to Article VI of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification, any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Article VIII
shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial on the merits and
Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination.

8.04          Burden of Proof. In any suit brought by Indemnitee to enforce a
right to indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Agreement, or
brought by the Company to recover an advancement of Expenses pursuant to the
terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that such person is not entitled
to be indemnified, or to such advancement of Expenses, under this Agreement or
otherwise shall be on the Company.

8.05          Company Bound. If a determination shall have been made or deemed
to have been made pursuant to Article VI of the Agreement that Indemnitee is
entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in
any judicial proceeding absent (i) a material 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 such indemnification under applicable
law.

8.06          Expenses of Adjudication. In the event that Indemnitee, pursuant
to this Article VIII, seeks a judicial adjudication to enforce Indemnitee’s
rights under, or to recover damages for breach of this Agreement, Indemnitee
shall be entitled to (x) advancement of any and all Expenses actually and
reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in such adjudication in accordance with
Article V of this Agreement and (y) be indemnified by the Company against any
and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in such
adjudication (but, with respect to indemnification and not advancement, only if
Indemnitee prevails therein). If it shall be determined in such adjudication
that Indemnitee is entitled to receive part but not all of the indemnification
sought, the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such adjudication
shall be appropriately prorated.

Article IX
NON-EXCLUSIVITY, INSURANCE, SUBROGATION

9.01          Non-Exclusivity. Except as set forth in Section 4.05, the rights
of indemnification and to receive advancement of Expenses as provided by this
Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee
may at any time be entitled under the Company’s organizational documents or
under any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or
otherwise. No amendment, alteration, rescission or replacement of this Agreement
or any provision hereof shall be effective as to Indemnitee with respect to any
action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in Indemnitee’s Corporate Status
prior to such amendment, alteration, rescission or replacement. The Company
hereby acknowledges that Indemnitee may have certain rights to indemnification,
advancement of Expenses and/or insurance provided by a separate entity. The
Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Company shall be the
indemnitor of first resort with respect to any Proceeding, Expense or matter
that is the subject of this Agreement (i.e., the Company’s obligations are
primary and any obligation of any other entity with respect to any Proceeding,
Expenses or matter that is the subject of this Agreement for the same
Proceeding, Expenses or matters incurred by Indemnitee are secondary), (ii) any
obligation of any other entity to indemnify Indemnitee and/or advance Expenses
to Indemnitee in respect of any Proceeding shall be secondary to the obligations
of the Company hereunder, (iii) the Company shall be required to indemnify
Indemnitee and advance Expenses to Indemnitee hereunder to the fullest extent
provided herein without regard to any rights Indemnitee may have against any
other entity or insurer of any such person and (iv) the Company irrevocably
waives, relinquishes and releases any other entity from any claim of
contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect of
amounts paid by the Company hereunder.

9.02          Insurance. The Company shall maintain an insurance policy or
policies against liability arising out of this Agreement or otherwise providing
coverage that is at least substantially comparable in scope and amount to that
provided by the Company’s current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability
insurance. In all such policies maintained by the Company, Indemnitee shall be
named as an insured in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights
and benefits as are provided to the most favorably insured of the Company’s
directors, if Indemnitee is a director, or of the Company’s officers, if
Indemnitee is an officer (and not a director) by such policy. Upon request, the
Company will provide to Indemnitee copies of all directors’ and officers’
liability insurance applications, binders, policies, declarations, endorsements
and other related materials.

9.03          Subrogation. In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the
Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to any rights of
recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all
action reasonably necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such
documents as are reasonably necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to
enforce such rights; provided, that in the process of securing or enforcing such
rights, the Company shall not take any action or make any statement, whether
written or oral, that could reasonably be construed as an acknowledgment of
wrongdoing on Indemnitee’s part or that is otherwise detrimental to Indemnitee’s
reputation, as reasonably determined by Indemnitee, without Indemnitee’s prior
written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed (and that, in the event that the Company takes any such action or
makes any such statement without Indemnitee’s prior written consent,
Indemnitee’s obligations under this Section 9.03 shall be of no further force
and effect).

 13 

 

9.04          No Duplicative Payment. The Company shall not be liable under this
Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if
and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment
under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

Article X

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,

of whether Indemnitee continues to serve as an officer or director of the
Company or of any other enterprise at the Company’s request.

10.02      Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall
be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever:

Agreement containing any such 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

(b)to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including,
without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any
such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, which is not itself

unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this

measure in money the damages which will accrue to either party by reason of a
failure to perform any of the obligations under this Agreement. Therefore, if
either party shall institute any action or proceeding to enforce the provisions
hereof, such party against whom such action or proceeding is brought hereby
waives the claim or defense that such party has an adequate remedy at law, and
such party shall not urge in any such action or proceeding the claim or defense
that the other party has an adequate remedy at law.

counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original

such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforceability is sought needs
to be produced to evidence the existence of this Agreement.

inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this
Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.

10.06      Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment of
this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the
parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be
deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions thereof (whether or
not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if (i)

or to the Company by Indemnitee, as the case may be.

10.08      Governing Law. The parties agree that this Agreement shall be
governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the
state of Delaware without application of the conflict of laws principles
thereof. No amendment, repeal, adoption or modification of law, shall adversely
affect any right or protection of any person granted pursuant hereto existing
at, or arising out of or related to any event, act or omission that occurred
prior to, the time of such amendment, repeal, adoption or modification
(regardless of when any Proceeding relating to such event, act or omission
arises or is first threatened, commenced or completed).

confer any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement on any other
person or persons other than the parties hereto and their respective successors
and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to relieve or
discharge the obligations or liability of any third persons to the Company.

shall give any third parties any right of subrogation or action over or against
the Company.

understanding between the parties hereto in reference to all the matters herein
