**5. Conclusive Presumption regarding Standards ofConduct.**

 

(a) The Indemnitee shall beconclusively presumed to have met the relevant standards of conduct, if any, as defined by Delaware law, for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, unless a final determination is made by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Indemniteehas not met such standards. For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any claim, action, suit, or proceeding, by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval), or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or itsequivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet any particular standard of conduct or that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by applicable law. 

 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 5(a)of this Agreement, in the event of any Proceeding (other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company) in which the claimant alleges or has alleged specific material acts by the Indemnitee of actual fraud, personal dishonesty,misappropriation, or breach of the duty of loyalty, in each case for the direct or indirect personal benefit of the Indemnitee, then the Company may rebut the presumption that the Indemnitee has met the relevant standards of conduct forindemnification under this Agreement by obtaining, at its expense, a written opinion of Independent Legal Counsel, to the effect that, assuming the truth of the facts alleged by the claimant, the Indemnitee, and all other former or current officersand directors who are similarly situated in the context of the Proceeding and who 

 

3 

have had a similar involvement in the alleged acts have not met such standards. Receipt by the Company ofsuch an opinion shall, accordingly and notwithstanding the absence of a final determination by a court of competent jurisdiction as contemplated by Section 5(a) of this Agreement, permit the Company to make a determination that the Indemnitee hasnot met the relevant standards of conduct, provided that any such determination is also made with respect to all other persons who, the opinion states, did not meet such standards. Neither the receipt of a written opinion from Independent LegalCounsel nor the making by the Company of a determination pursuant to this Section 5(b) shall create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet any particular standards of conduct or that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification underthis Agreement or otherwise. Nothing herein, however, shall prevent the Company from presenting such opinion as evidence or the Independent Legal Counsel as a witness in any court case. 

 

**6. Indemnification of Expenses of Successful Party.** Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement(except for, and subject to, Section 10(c)), to the extent that the Indemnitee has been successful in defense of any Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, on the merits or otherwise, including the dismissal of a Proceedingwithout prejudice or the settlement of a Proceeding (with the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) without an admission of liability, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified against Expenses actually and reasonablyincurred in connection therewith. 

 

**7. Indemnification forExpenses of a Witness.** Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company,or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, a witness in any Proceeding, the Indemnitee shall beindemnified against Expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. 

 

**8. Advances of Expenses.** The Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding shall be paid promptly by the Company, in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding at thewritten request of the Indemnitee; provided that the Indemnitee shall undertake in writing to repay any advances if it is conclusively determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under thisAgreement or otherwise. The Indemnitee’s obligation to reimburse the Company for advanced Expenses shall be unsecured and no interest shall be charged thereon. 

 

**9. Partial Indemnification.** If the Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement toindemnification by the Company for a portion of the Expenses or Liabilities actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in the investigation, defense, appeal, or settlement of any Proceeding but not, however, for the total amount of theIndemnitee’s Expenses or Liabilities, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee for the portion of Expenses and Liabilities to which the Indemnitee is entitled.

**10. Indemnification Procedure; Determination of Right to Indemnification.**

 

(a) Promptly after receipt by the Indemnitee of notice ofthe commencement of any Proceeding, the Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement thereof in writing. The omission to so notify the Company will notrelieve it from any liability which it may have to the Indemnitee under this Agreement except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the Company. 

 

(b) If a claim for indemnification or advances under this Agreement is not paid by the Company within 30 days of receipt of writtennotice, the rights provided by this Agreement shall be enforceable by the Indemnitee in any court of competent jurisdiction. The burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence that indemnification or advances are not appropriate shall be on theCompany. Neither the failure of the Independent Legal Counsel to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification or advances are proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicablestandard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Independent Legal Counsel that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met theapplicable standard of conduct. 

 

(c) TheIndemnitee’s Expenses incurred in connection with any proceeding concerning his or her right to indemnification or advances in whole or in part pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise shall also be indemnified by the Company regardless of theoutcome of such a proceeding, unless a court of competent jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions made by the Indemnitee in the proceeding was not made in good faith or was frivolous. 

 

(d) With respect to any Proceeding for which indemnificationis requested, the Company will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense and, except as otherwise provided below, to the extent that it may wish, the Company may assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to theIndemnitee. After notice from the Company to the Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of a Proceeding, the Company will not be liable to the Indemnitee under this Agreement for any Expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee inconnection with the defense thereof, other than as provided below. The Company shall not settle any Proceeding in any manner that would impose any penalty or limitation on the Indemnitee without the Indemnitee’s written consent, which consentshall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his or her own counsel in any Proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Company of its assumption of the defense of theProceeding shall be at the expense of the Indemnitee, unless (i) the employment of counsel by the Indemnitee has been authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably requested separate counsel in the conduct of thedefense of a Proceeding, or (iii) the Company shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of a Proceeding, in each of which cases the fees 

 

5 

and expenses of the Indemnitee’s counsel shall be advanced by the Company. The Company shall not beentitled to assume the defense of any Proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Company or as to which the Indemnitee has concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company on the one hand and the Indemnitee on the other hand.

(a) To indemnify or advance funds to the Indemnitee for Expenses with respect to Proceedings initiated or brought voluntarily by theIndemnitee and not by way of defense, except with respect to (i) Proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under this Agreement or any other statute or law or otherwise as required under applicable law, or (ii)Proceedings (or parts thereof) authorized by the Board;

(b) In all D&O Insurance policies, the Indemnitee shall be named as an insured insuch a manner as to provide the Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably insured of the Company’s officers or directors. 

 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to obtain or maintain D&OInsurance if the Company determines in good faith that such insurance is not reasonably available, the premium costs for such insurance are disproportionate to the amount of coverage provided, the coverage provided by such insurance is so limited byexclusions that it provides an insufficient benefit, or the Indemnitee is covered by similar insurance maintained by a subsidiary of the Company.
