EXHIBIT A:  INDEMNIFICATION


 







The Company agrees to indemnify Greentree, its employees, directors, officers, agents, affiliates, and each person, if any, who controls it within the meaning of either Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 (each such person, including Greentree is referred to as “Indemnified Party”) from and against any losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or several (including all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with the preparation for or defense of any threatened or pending claim, action or proceeding, whether or not resulting in any liability) (“Damages”), to which such Indemnified Party, in connection with providing its services or arising out of its engagement hereunder, may become subject under any applicable Federal or state law or otherwise, including but not limited to liability or loss (i) caused by or arising out of an untrue statement or an alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary in order to make a statement not misleading in light of the circumstances under which it was made, (ii) caused by or arising out of any act or failure to act, or (iii) arising out of Greentree’s engagement or the rendering by any Indemnified Party of its services under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable to the Indemnified Party hereunder to the extent that any Damages are found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder.


 


These indemnification provisions shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to any Indemnified Party.


 


If for any reason, other than a final non-appealable judgment finding an Indemnified Party liable for Damages for its gross negligence or willful misconduct the foregoing indemnity is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of such Damages in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Company and its shareholders on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other, but also the relative fault of the Company and the Indemnified Party as well as any relevant equitable considerations.


 


Promptly after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of any claim or of the commencement of any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought, the Indemnified Party will notify the Company in writing of the receipt or commencement thereof and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense of such claim or action (including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of fees and expenses of such counsel), provided that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to control its defense if, in the opinion of its counsel, the Indemnified Party’s defense is unique or separate to it as the case may be, as opposed to a defense pertaining to the Company.  In any event, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, at the Company’s sole expense, to represent it in any claim or action in respect of which indemnity may be sought and agrees to cooperate with the Company and the Company’s counsel in the defense of such claim or action.  In the event that the Company does not promptly assume the defense of a claim or action, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel to defend such claim or action.  Any obligation pursuant to this Annex shall survive the termination or expiration of the Agreement.
