Indemnification Agreement dated 2/14/03 - Greg Peterson



 Exhibit 10.39 
  
 INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into as of February 14, 2003 (the “Effective Date”), among
Cooperative Computing, Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CCHC”), Cooperative Computing, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CCI” and, together with CCHC, the “Indemnitors”), and Greg Petersen
(“Indemnitee”). 
  
 RECITALS 
  
 A. Highly competent and experienced persons are becoming more reluctant to
serve corporations as directors, executive officers or in other capacities unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance and adequate indemnification against inordinate risks of claims and actions against them arising out of
their service to and activities on behalf of the corporation. 
  
 B. The Board of Directors of each of the Indemnitors has determined that the inability to attract and retain such persons would be detrimental to the best interests of the Indemnitors and their respective subsidiaries (collectively, the
“Company”). 
  
 C. The Board has also determined
that it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue
concern that they will not be so indemnified. 
  
 In consideration
of the foregoing and the mutual covenants herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows: 
  
 ARTICLE I 
  
 INDEMNIFICATION 
  
 Section 1.1 General. The Indemnitors shall indemnify, and advance expenses to, Indemnitee, to the fullest extent provided in their respective
Certificates of Incorporation, as the same is in effect on the date hereof and, subject to Section 1.2, as the same may be amended or modified from time to time. 
  
 Section 1.2 Non-Exclusivity. The rights of Indemnitee to receive indemnification and advancement of expenses under
this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Bylaws of either CCHC or CCI, or any other agreement, vote of stockholders or a resolution of directors, or
otherwise. Except as required by law, neither 








 
Indemnitor shall, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, adopt any amendment to their respective Certificates of Incorporation which would have the
effect of adversely affecting Indemnitee’s rights to indemnification set forth herein. 
  
 Section 1.3 Duration of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue for so long as Indemnitee serves as a director or officer of the Company or, at the request of the Company, as a director or officer of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, and thereafter shall survive until and terminate upon the latest to occur of (a) the expiration of six (6) years after the latest date that Indemnitee shall
have ceased to serve in any such capacity; (b) the final termination of all pending proceedings in respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder; or (c) the expiration of all statutes of
limitation applicable to possible claims arising out of Indemnitee’s status as an officer or director of the Company or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which such Indemnitee
is or was serving at the request of the Company. 
  
 Section 1.4
Notice by Each Party. Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Indemnitors in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document or communication relating to any claim which
Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder; provided, however, that any failure of Indemnitee to so notify the Indmenitors shall not adversely affect Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement except to the
extent the Company shall have been materially prejudiced as a direct result of such failure. 
  
 ARTICLE II 
  
 MISCELLANEOUS

  
 Section 2.1 Enforcement. The Indemnitors agree that
its execution of this Agreement shall constitute a stipulation by which it shall be irrevocably bound in any court or arbitration in which a proceeding by Indemnitee for enforcement of his rights hereunder shall have been commenced, continued or
appealed, that its obligations set forth in this Agreement are unique and special, and that failure of any Indemnitor to comply with the provisions of this Agreement will cause irreparable and irremediable injury to Indemnitee, for which a remedy at
law will be inadequate. As a result, in addition to any other right or remedy he may have at law or in equity with respect to breach of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to injunctive or mandatory relief directing specific performance by
the Indemnitors of their respective obligations under this Agreement. 
  
 Section 2.2 Successors and Assigns. All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns,
heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives. In the event any Indemnitor or any of their respective successors or assigns (a) consolidates or merges into any other person and 








 
shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (b) transfers all or substantially all of its properties
and assets to any person, then in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the applicable Indemnitor shall assume the obligations set forth herein; provided, however, that in the event CCI engages in a
transaction of the type described in clauses (a) or (b) of this sentence pursuant to which CCHC is not acquired in such transaction, then CCHC shall be released from its obligations hereunder effective upon the assumption of the obligations set
forth herein by CCI’s successors and assigns pursuant to this sentence. 
  
 Section 2.3 Amendment. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by a written instrument executed by or on behalf of each of the parties hereto. 
  
 Section 2.4 Waivers. The observance of any term of this Agreement may
be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) by the party entitled to enforce such term only by a writing signed by the party against which such waiver is to be asserted. Unless otherwise
expressly provided herein, no delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any party hereto of any right, power or privilege
hereunder operate as a waiver of any other right, power or privilege hereunder nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right,
power or privilege hereunder. 
  
 Section 2.5 Entire
Agreement. This Agreement and the documents expressly referred to herein constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the matters covered hereby, and any other prior or contemporaneous oral or written understandings
or agreements with respect to the matters covered hereby are expressly superseded by this Agreement. 
  
 Section 2.6 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement (including any provision within a single section, paragraph or sentence) or the
application of such provision to any person or circumstance, shall be judicially declared to be invalid, unenforceable or void, such decision will not have the effect of invalidating or voiding the remainder of this Agreement or affect the
application of such provision to other persons or circumstances, it being the intent and agreement of the parties that this Agreement shall be deemed amended by modifying such provision to the extent necessary to render it valid, legal and
enforceable while preserving its intent, or if such modification is not possible, by substituting therefor another provision that is valid, legal and enforceable and that achieves the same objective. Any such finding of invalidity or enforceability
shall not prevent the enforcement of such provision in any other jurisdiction to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. 
  
 Section 2.7 Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given upon (a) transmitter’s
confirmation of a receipt of a facsimile transmission, (b) confirmed delivery of a standard overnight courier or when 








 
delivered by hand or (c) the expiration of five business days after the date mailed by certified or registered mail (return receipt requested), postage
prepaid, to the parties at the following addresses (or at such other addresses for a party as shall be specified by like notice): 
  
 If to any Indemnitor, to:
