WEST SUBURBAN BANCORP, INC.

 

RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT – DANIEL P. GROTTO

 

This RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is made and entered into as of
the 8th day of March, 2004 (the “Effective
Date”), by and between WEST SUBURBAN BANCORP, INC., an Illinois
corporation (the “Employer”), and
DANIEL P. GROTTO, an Illinois resident (the “Executive”).

 

R
E  C  I  T  A  L  S:

 

A.            The Employer owns all of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of West Suburban Bank, Lombard, Illinois (the “Bank”).

 

B.             The Employer desires to continue to employ the Executive
as an officer of the Bank for a specified term and the Executive is willing to
continue such employment upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

 

C.             Additionally, the Employer recognizes that circumstances
may arise which may result in a change in control of the Employer and/or the
Bank (through acquisition or otherwise) thereby causing uncertainty with
respect to the Executive’s employment without regard to the competence or past
contributions of the Executive and that such uncertainty may result in the loss
to the Employer and/or the Bank of the valuable services provided by the
Executive.  In such circumstances, the
Employer and the Executive wish to provide reasonable security to the Executive
against changes in the Executive’s employment relationship with the Employer
and/or the Bank.

 

D.            Executive currently serves as the Senior Vice President,
Business Development and Prepaid Solutions of the Bank pursuant to that certain
Employment Agreement dated January 1, 2001 (the “2001 Employment Agreement”).

 

E.             The parties desire to amend and restate the 2001
Employment Agreement in accordance with the terms, and subject to the
conditions, set forth herein.

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and of the
covenants and agreements hereinafter contained, it is covenanted and agreed by

under this Agreement shall automatically be extended for one (1) additional
year on December 31st of each year beginning December 31, 2004,

year, that the term of employment of the Executive under this

provided such supporting services, staff and other assistance, office space and

(e)           LONG TERM CARE INSURANCE.  Employer shall provide Executive and Executive’s spouse with
coverage under, and shall pay the premiums with respect to, long term care
insurance in accordance with the terms, and subject to the conditions, as the

from the insurer under which this benefit is provided to other senior
executives from time to time.

 

(f)            REIMBURSEMENT
OF EXPENSES.  The Executive shall be
reimbursed, upon submission of appropriate vouchers and supporting
documentation, for all travel, entertainment and other out-of-pocket expenses

duties hereunder and shall be entitled to attend seminars, conferences and
meetings relating to the business of the Employer consistent with the
Employer’s established policies in that regard.

 

(g)           OTHER
BENEFITS.  The Executive shall be
entitled to all benefits specifically established for him and, when and to the
extent he is eligible therefor, to participate in all plans and benefits
generally accorded to senior executives of the Employer, including, but not

executives of the Employer:  pension;

incentive compensation; bonus; disability income; split-dollar life insurance;
group life; health, medical (including dental, vision and prescription drug
insurance, if any) and hospitalization insurance; long term care insurance; and

concerning the amount or requirement of any such withholding.

AND LOYALTY.  The Executive acknowledges
that heretofore or hereafter during the course of his employment he has
produced and may hereafter produce and have access to material, records, data,
trade secrets and information not generally available to the public
(collectively, “Confidential Information”)
regarding the Employer and its subsidiaries and affiliates.  Accordingly, during and subsequent to
termination of this Agreement, the Executive shall hold in confidence and not
directly or indirectly disclose, use, copy or make lists of any such
Confidential Information, except to the extent that such information is or
thereafter becomes lawfully available from public sources, or such disclosure
is authorized in writing by the Employer, required by a law or any competent
administrative agency or judicial authority, or otherwise as reasonably
necessary or appropriate in connection with performance by the Executive of his
duties hereunder.  All records, files,
documents and other materials or copies thereof relating to the Employer’s
business which the Executive shall prepare or use, shall be and remain the sole
property of the Employer, shall not be removed from

 

3

 

the Employer’s premises without its written consent, and shall be
promptly returned to the Employer upon termination of the Executive’s
employment hereunder.  The Executive
agrees to abide by the Employer’s reasonable policies, as in effect from time
to time, respecting avoidance of interests conflicting with those of the
Employer.  In the event of any violation
or threatened violation of these restrictions, the Employer, in addition to and
not in limitation of being relieved of all further obligations under this
Agreement and of any other rights, remedies or damages available to the
Employer under this Agreement or otherwise at law or in equity, shall be
entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent or restrain
any such violation by the Executive and any and all persons directly or
indirectly acting for or with him, as the case may be.

 

5.             TERMINATION.

 

(a)                                  AGREEMENT
NON-EXTENSION OR EMPLOYMENT TERMINATION BY EMPLOYER AND TERMINATION BY
EXECUTIVE.

 

(i)            In
the event of the termination of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement
by the Employer prior to the last day of the then current term for any reason
other than a termination in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (c) of
this Section 5 (TERMINATION FOR CAUSE), or the non-extension of this Agreement
by the Employer in accordance with the provisions of Section 1, the Employer
shall (A) continue to pay the Executive the Base Salary then payable to the
Executive, (B) continue to pay the Executive an annual Bonus in an amount equal
to the average of his most recent three (3) years’ annual Bonus amounts, and
(C) shall continue to provide coverage for the Executive under all plans and
benefits otherwise provided to senior executives of the Employer (including
without limitation, group health, life, disability and long term care insurance
coverage, club dues, and Deferred Compensation Plan contributions), unless
unable to continue such coverage by law, for the remainder of the term of this
Agreement, provided, however, that in the circumstance where the term of this
Agreement is not extended, the Executive must remain employed with the Employer
to receive such payments and benefits; further provided, that the continued
payment of these amounts by the Employer shall not offset or diminish any
compensation or benefits accrued as of the date of termination or
non-extension.  In addition, within
thirty (30) days of Executive’s termination of employment, the Employer shall
pay the Executive (a) such Base Salary and vacation pay (for unused vacation
days in accordance with the Employer’s policies and practices with respect to
vacation pay) as shall have accrued and remains unpaid through the effective
date of the termination, (b) Bonuses previously determined by the Compensation
Committee for any prior fiscal year(s) that remain unpaid, (c) for all accrued
and unused sick days and (d) reimbursement of previously incurred expenses
eligible for reimbursement pursuant to the Employer’s policies and practices
concerning reimbursement of expenses.   
Further provided, that Executive shall also have such rights to
payments, if any, as are provided under the terms of the Deferred Compensation
Plan, the Amended and Restated Life Insurance Agreement entered into by and
between the Employer and Executive and as amended from time to time and such
retirement plans under which Executive participated at the time of his
termination.

 

(ii)           In
the event that the term of this Agreement is not extended in accordance with
the provisions of Section 1, the Executive may elect to terminate his
employment, and upon such termination, the Employer shall pay the Executive a
lump sum amount equal to nine (9)

 

4

 

times the sum of (A) the monthly Base Salary then payable to the
Executive, plus (B) one twelfth (1/12) of the base annual deferred compensation
contribution made by the Employer under the Deferred Compensation Plan for the
year prior to the Executive’s termination. 
The election by the Executive to terminate his employment pursuant to
this subparagraph (a)(ii) must be delivered in writing to the Employer within
sixty (60) days of the later of his receipt of notice of the non-extension of
the term of this Agreement or December 31st of the year during
which such notice is delivered.  Payment
to the Executive will be made within thirty (30) days of such termination.  In addition, within thirty (30) days of
Executive’s termination of employment, the Employer shall pay the Executive (a)
such Base Salary and vacation pay (for unused vacation days in accordance with
the Employer’s policies and practices with respect to vacation pay) as shall
have accrued and remains unpaid through the effective date of the termination,
(b) Bonuses previously determined by the Compensation Committee for any prior
fiscal year(s) that remain unpaid, (c) for all accrued and unused sick days,
and (d) reimbursement of previously incurred expenses eligible for
reimbursement pursuant to the Employer’s policies and practices concerning
reimbursement of expenses.  Further
provided, that Executive shall also have such rights to payments, if any, as
are provided under the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan, the Amended and
Restated Life Insurance Agreement entered into by and between the Employer and
Executive and as amended from time to time and such retirement plans under
which Executive participated at the time of his termination.

 

(iii)          Unless
a Change in Control shall have occurred, if the Employer is not in compliance
with its minimum capital requirements or if the payments required under
subparagraph (i) or (ii) above would cause the Employer’s capital to be reduced
below its minimum capital requirements, such payments shall be deferred until
such time as the Employer is in capital compliance.

 

(b)           CONSTRUCTIVE
DISCHARGE.  If at any time during
the term of this Agreement, except in connection with a termination pursuant to
paragraph (c) (TERMINATION FOR CAUSE) of this Section 5, the Executive is
Constructively Discharged (as hereinafter defined) then the Executive shall
have the right, by written notice to the Employer within sixty (60) days of
such Constructive Discharge, to terminate his services hereunder, effective as
of the thirtieth (30th) day after such notice, and the Executive
shall have no rights or obligations under this Agreement other than as provided
in Sections 4 and 7 hereof.  The
Executive shall in such event be entitled to a lump sum payment of compensation
and benefits and continuation of all plans and benefits as if such termination
of his employment was pursuant to subparagraph (a)(i) of this Section 5.

 

(i)            For
purposes of this Agreement, the Executive shall be “Constructively Discharged” upon the occurrence of any one of
the following events:

 

(A)          The Executive is not re-elected or is
removed from the positions with the Employer or any affiliate set forth in
Section 1 hereof, other than as a result of the Executive’s election or
appointment to positions of equal or superior scope and responsibility; or

 

(B)           The Executive shall fail to be vested
by the Employer with the powers and authority of his appointed office; or

 

5

 

(C)           The Employer changes the primary
employment location of the Executive to a place that is more than thirty (30)
miles from the primary employment location as of the Effective Date of this
Agreement; or

 

(D)          The Employer otherwise commits a
material breach of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

(c)           TERMINATION
FOR CAUSE.  The Executive’s
employment hereunder may be terminated for cause as hereinafter defined.  “Cause”
shall mean:  (i) the Executive’s death;
(ii) a material violation by the Executive of any applicable material law or
regulation respecting the business of the Employer; (iii) the Executive being
found guilty of a felony or an act of dishonesty in connection with the
performance of his duties as an officer of the Employer, or which disqualifies
the Executive from serving as an officer or director of the Employer; or (iv)
the willful or negligent failure of the Executive to perform his duties
hereunder in any material respect. 
Executive’s employment under this Agreement may be terminated
immediately for any cause except under (iv) above.  The Executive shall be entitled to at least thirty (30) days’ prior
written notice of the Employer’s intention to terminate his employment under
(iv) above, specifying the grounds for such termination, a reasonable
opportunity to cure any conduct or act, if curable, alleged as grounds for such
termination, and a reasonable opportunity to present to the Board his position
regarding any dispute relating to the existence of such cause.  Upon Executive’s termination for Cause, the
Employer shall have no obligations to Executive other than payment, within
thirty (30) days, of (A) such Base Salary and vacation pay (for unused vacation
days in accordance with the Employer’s policies and practices with respect to
vacation pay) as shall have accrued and remains unpaid through the effective
date of the termination, (B) Bonuses previously determined by the
Compensation Committee for any prior fiscal year(s) that remain unpaid, (C) all
accrued and unused sick days, and (D) reimbursement for previously incurred
expenses eligible for reimbursement pursuant to the Employer’s policies and
practices concerning reimbursement of expenses.  In addition, Executive shall also have such rights to payments,
if any, as are provided under the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan, the
Amended and Restated Life Insurance Agreement entered into by and between the
Employer and Executive and as amended from time to time and such retirement
plans under which Executive participated at the time of his termination.

 

(d)           TERMINATION
UPON DEATH.  Upon Executive’s death,
the Employer shall have no obligations to Executive other than payment, within
thirty (30) days, of (i) such Base Salary and vacation pay (for unused vacation
days in accordance with the Employer’s policies and practices with respect to
vacation pay) as shall have accrued and remains unpaid through the effective
date of the termination, (ii) Bonuses previously determined by the Compensation
Committee for any prior fiscal year(s) that remain unpaid, (iii) all accrued
and unused sick days, and (iv) reimbursement for previously incurred expenses
eligible for reimbursement pursuant to the Employer’s policies and practices
concerning reimbursement of expenses. 
In addition, Executive shall also have such rights to payments as are
provided under the Deferred Compensation Plan, the Amended and Restated Life
Insurance Agreement entered into by and between the Employer and Executive and
as amended from time to time and such retirement plans under which Executive
participated at the time of his death. 
Payment shall be made to such beneficiary as Executive may designate in
writing, or failing such designation, to the executor of his estate, in full
settlement and satisfaction of all claims and demands on behalf of

 

6

 

the Executive.  Such payments
shall be in full settlement and satisfaction of all payments provided for in
this Agreement.

 

(e)           PAYMENT
UPON TERMINATION FOR DISABILITY. 
The Employer may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder after
the Executive is determined to be permanently disabled under the Employer
sponsored disability income insurance program or by a physician engaged by the
Employer.  In the event of a dispute
regarding the Executive’s disability, each party shall choose a physician who
together will choose a third physician to make a final determination.  The Executive shall be entitled to the
compensation and benefits provided for under this Agreement for any period
during the term of this Agreement and prior to the establishment of the Executive’s
disability during which the Executive is unable to work due to a physical or
mental infirmity.  In the event of the
termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder due to the permanent
disability of the Executive, the Employer shall continue to pay the Executive
eighty percent (80%) of the Base Salary per month then payable to the
Executive, reduced by any amounts received under the Employer sponsored
disability income insurance program, and shall continue to provide coverage for
the Executive under the health and life insurance programs maintained by the
Employer until the earlier of the date the Executive returns to full-time
employment, either with the Employer or another employer, or Executive’s
death.  In addition, the Employer shall
pay the Executive, within thirty (30) days of termination, (i) such Base Salary
and vacation pay (for unused vacation days in accordance with the Employer’s
policies and practices with respect to vacation pay) as shall have accrued and
remains unpaid through the effective date of the termination, (ii) Bonuses
previously determined by the Compensation Committee for any prior fiscal
year(s) that remain unpaid, (iii) for all accrued and unused sick days, and
(iv) reimbursement of previously incurred expenses eligible for reimbursement
pursuant to the Employer’s policies and practices concerning reimbursement of
expenses.  Further provided, that
Executive shall also have such rights to payments, if any, as are provided
under the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan, the Amended and Restated
Life Insurance Agreement entered into by and between the Employer and Executive
and as amended from time to time and such retirement plans under which
Executive participated at the time of his termination.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Agreement to the contrary, until the date specified in a notice of termination
relating to the Executive’s disability, the Executive shall be entitled to
return to his positions with the Employer as set forth in this Agreement in
which event no disability of the Executive will be deemed to have
occurred.  Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, in the event of the termination of the Executive’s
employment under this Agreement for any reason, if permitted by law, the Executive
may elect to have any disability income insurance policy maintained by the
Employer on his behalf transferred to him, and he shall assume all obligations
thereunder.

 

(f)            TERMINATION
UPON CHANGE IN CONTROL.

 

(i)            In
the event of a Change in Control and the termination of the Executive’s employment
under either (A) or (B) below, the Executive shall be entitled to a lump sum
payment equal to three (3) times the sum of the following: (w) his annual Base
Salary then payable plus (x) the average of his most recent three (3) years’
annual Deferred Compensation Plan contributions plus (y) the average of his
most recent three (3) years’ employee stock ownership plan contributions plus
(z) the average of his most recent three (3) years’ annual Bonuses.  In the event of a Change in Control, the
Employer shall also provide the Executive

 

7

 

with the benefits contemplated in subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (h)
(CERTAIN INSURANCE BENEFITS) of this Section 5 below and, upon termination of
the Executive’s employment under either (A) or (B) below, shall pay the
Executive, within thirty (30) days of termination: (a) such Base Salary and
vacation pay (for unused vacation days in accordance with the Employer’s
policies and practices with respect to vacation pay) as shall have accrued and
remains unpaid through the effective date of the termination, (b) Bonuses
previously determined by the Compensation Committee for any prior fiscal
year(s) that remain unpaid, (c) for all accrued and unused sick days, and (d)
reimbursement of previously incurred expenses eligible for reimbursement
pursuant to the Employer’s policies on reimbursement of expenses.  In addition, Executive shall also have such
rights to payments, if any, as are provided under the terms of the Deferred
Compensation Plan, the Amended and Restated Life Insurance Agreement entered
into by and between the Employer and Executive and as amended from time to time
and such retirement plans under which Executive participated at the time of his
termination.  If the Executive’s
employment has terminated prior to the Change in Control in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement and the Employer has made all required payments under
any other applicable provision of this Section 5, then no amount shall be paid
under this paragraph (f).  Either of the
following shall constitute termination under this paragraph:

 

(A)          The Executive terminates his
employment by a written notice to that effect delivered to the Employer within
twenty-four (24) months after the Change in Control.

 

(B)           Executive’s employment under this
Agreement is terminated by the Employer either in contemplation of or after the
Change in Control.

 

(ii)           Notwithstanding
the preceding paragraphs of this Section 5 and except as provided in this
subparagraph (ii), in the event that it shall be determined that any payment,
benefit or other entitlement under this Agreement and any other plan or
arrangement of the Employer or the Bank (the “Total
Payments”) would constitute an “Excess Parachute Payment” within the
meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and thereby be subject to the excise
tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any similar successor provision or
any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (collectively the “Excise Tax”), then, except in the case of a
de Minimus Excess Amount (as defined below), the Executive shall be entitled to
receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up
Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by the Executive of
all taxes imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment (including any federal, state and
local income, payroll and excise taxes and any interest or penalties imposed
with respect to such taxes), the Executive retains an amount of the Gross Up
Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Total Payments (not including
any Gross-Up Payment).  If, at a later
date, the Internal Revenue Service assesses a deficiency against the Executive
for the Excise Tax which is greater than that which was determined at the time
such amounts were paid, then the Employer shall pay to the Executive the amount
of such unreimbursed Excise Tax plus any interest, penalties and reasonable
professional fees or expenses incurred by the Executive as a result of such
assessment, including all such taxes with respect to any such additional
amount.  The highest marginal tax rate
applicable to individuals at the time of the payment of such amounts will be
used for purposes of determining the federal and state income and other taxes
with respect thereto.  The Employer
shall withhold from any amounts paid under this Agreement the amount of any
Excise Tax or other federal, state or local

 

8

 

taxes then required to be withheld. 
Computations of the amount of the Gross-Up Payment paid under this
subparagraph shall be conclusively made by the Employer’s independent
accountants, in consultation, if necessary, with the Employer’s independent
legal counsel.  If, after the Executive
receives any Gross-Up Payment or other amount pursuant to this subparagraph,
the Executive receives any refund with respect to the Excise Tax, the Executive
shall promptly pay the Employer the amount of such refund within ten (10) days
of receipt by the Executive. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the amount by which the
present value of the Total Payments which would constitute an Excess Parachute
Payment is less than two percent (2%) of the Total Payments, then such Excess
Parachute Payment shall be deemed to be a “de
Minimus Excess Amount” and the Executive shall not be entitled to a
Gross-Up Payment.  In such a case, the
Total Payments will be reduced to an amount (the “Non-Triggering Amount”), the value of which is one dollar
($1.00) less than an amount equal to three (3) times Executive’s “base amount,”
as determined in accordance with Code Section 280G; provided that such
reduction shall not be made unless the Non-Triggering Amount would be greater
than the aggregate value of the Total Payments (without such reduction) minus
the amount of Excise Tax required to be paid by Executive thereon.  The allocation of the reduction required by
the preceding sentence shall be determined by the Executive.

 

(iii)          For
purposes of this Agreement, the term “Change
in Control” shall mean any of the following:

 

(A)          The consummation of the acquisition by
any person (as such term is defined in Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934
Act”)) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated
under the 1934 Act) of fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power
of the then outstanding voting securities of the Employer or the Bank; or

 

(B)           The individuals who, as of the date
hereof, are members of the Board of the Employer or the Bank cease for any
reason to constitute a majority of the Board, unless the election, or
nomination for election by the shareholders, of any new director was approved
by a vote of a majority of the Board, and such new director shall, for purposes
of this Agreement, be considered as a member of the Board; or

 

(C)           Approval by shareholders of the
Employer or the Bank of:  (1) a merger
or consolidation if the shareholders immediately before such merger or
consolidation do not, as a result of such merger or consolidation, own,
directly or indirectly, more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting
power of the then outstanding voting securities of the entity resulting from
such merger or consolidation in substantially the same proportion as their ownership
of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Employer or the
Bank outstanding immediately before such merger or consolidation; or (2) a
complete liquidation or dissolution or an agreement for the sale or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Employer or the
Bank.

 

9

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control
shall not be deemed to occur solely because fifty percent (50%) or more of the
combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Employer or the
Bank is acquired by:  (1) a trustee or
other fiduciary holding securities under one or more employee benefit plans
maintained for employees of the Employer or the Bank; or (2) any corporation
which, immediately prior to such acquisition, is owned directly or indirectly
by the shareholders in the same proportion as their ownership of stock of the
Employer or the Bank immediately prior to such acquisition.

 

(g)           REGULATORY
SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION.

 

(i)            If
the Executive is suspended from office and/or temporarily prohibited from
participating in the conduct of the Employer’s affairs by a notice served under
Section 8(e)(3) (12 U.S.C. Section 1818(e)(3)) or 8(g) (12 U.S.C. Section
1818(g)) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended, the Employer’s
obligations under this contract shall be suspended as of the date of service,
unless stayed by appropriate proceedings. 
If the charges in the notice are dismissed, the Employer shall (A) pay
the Executive all of the compensation withheld while the contract obligations
were suspended and (B) reinstate any of the obligations which were suspended.

 

(ii)           If
the Executive is removed and/or permanently prohibited from participating in
the conduct of the Employer’s affairs by an order issued under Section 8(e) (12
U.S.C. Section 1818(e)) or 8(g) (12 U.S.C. Section 1818(g)) of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Act, as amended, all obligations of the Employer under this
contract shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but vested
rights of the contracting parties shall not be affected.

 

(iii)          If
the Employer is in default as defined in Section 3(x) (12 U.S.C. Section
1813(x)(1)) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended, all obligations
of the Employer under this contract shall terminate as of the date of default,
but this paragraph shall not affect any vested rights of the contracting
parties.

 

(iv)          All
obligations of the Employer under this contract shall be terminated, except to
the extent determined that continuation of the contract is necessary for the
continued operation of the institution by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (the “FDIC”), at the
time the FDIC enters into an agreement to provide assistance to or on behalf of
the Employer under the authority contained in Section 13(c) (12 U.S.C. Section
1823(c)) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended, or when the Employer
is determined by the FDIC to be in an unsafe or unsound condition.  Any rights of the parties that have already
vested, however, shall not be affected by such action.

 

(v)           Any
payments made to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise, are
subject to and conditioned upon their compliance with Section 18(k) (12 U.S.C.
Section 1828(k)) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act as amended, and any
regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

(h)           CERTAIN
INSURANCE BENEFITS.

 

(i)            In
the event of the termination of Executive’s employment under this Agreement due
to the retirement of the Executive at or after the attainment of age sixty-two
(62),

 

10

 

the Employer shall continue to provide the following benefits to the
Executive, at the expense of the Employer, until the Executive’s death: (A)
continuing coverage for the Executive and Executive’s Spouse under Employer’s
health, medical, hospitalization and life insurance programs (including dental,
vision and prescription drug coverage, if provided immediately prior to the
termination); and (B) long term care insurance in accordance with paragraph (e)
(LONG TERM CARE INSURANCE) of Section 3 above including making all required

insurance programs (including dental, vision and prescription drug coverage, if
provided immediately prior to the termination) maintained by the Employer at
the time of the Change in Control; and (B) long term care insurance in
accordance with paragraph (e) (LONG TERM CARE INSURANCE) of Section 3 above
including making all required payments relating to such insurance coverage.

 

(iii)          In
the event of the termination of Executive’s employment under this Agreement
other than as contemplated above in this paragraph (h) or pursuant to paragraph
(c) (TERMINATION FOR CAUSE) above, at the election of the Executive (including
the estate of the Executive) and the Executive’s Spouse and provided such
action is not prohibited by the policy pursuant to which the Executive receives
the benefit contemplated in paragraph (e) (LONG TERM CARE INSURANCE) of Section
3 above, the Employer shall take all actions necessary including, but not
limited to, a transfer and assignment of its interests in the long term health
insurance provided to the Executive pursuant to paragraph (e) (LONG TERM CARE
INSURANCE) of Section 3 above in order to facilitate the ability of the
Executive and the Executive’s Spouse to continue to maintain the long term
health insurance at no additional cost to the Employer.

 

6.             INTEREST
IN ASSETS.  Neither the Executive nor
his estate shall acquire hereunder any rights in funds or assets of the
Employer, otherwise than by and through the actual payment of amounts payable
hereunder; nor shall the Executive or his estate have any power to transfer, assign,
anticipate, hypothecate or otherwise encumber in advance any of said payments;
nor shall any of such payments be subject to seizure for the payment of any
debt, judgment, alimony, separate maintenance or be transferable by operation
of law in the event of bankruptcy, insolvency or otherwise of the Executive.

 

7.             INDEMNIFICATION.

 

(a)           INSURANCE.  The Employer shall provide the Executive
(including his heirs, personal representatives, executors and administrators)
for the term of this Agreement with coverage under a standard directors’ and
officers’ liability insurance policy at its expense.

 

(b)           INDEMNIFICATION
UNDER STATE LAW.  In addition to the
insurance coverage provided for in paragraph (a) of this Section 7, the
Employer shall hold harmless and indemnify the Executive (and his heirs,
executors and administrators) to the fullest extent permitted under applicable
law against all expenses and liabilities reasonably incurred by him in
connection with or arising out of any action, suit or proceeding in which he
may be involved by reason of his

 

11

 

having been an officer of the Employer (whether or not he continues to
be an officer at the time of incurring such expenses or liabilities), such
expenses and liabilities to include, but not be limited to, judgments, court
costs and attorneys’ fees and the cost of reasonable settlements.

 

(c)           ADVANCEMENT
OF EXPENSES.  In the event the
Executive becomes a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any action,
suit or proceeding for which the Employer has agreed to provide insurance
coverage or indemnification under this Section 7, the Employer shall, to the
full extent permitted under applicable law, advance all expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
(collectively “Expenses”) incurred
by the Executive in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement, or
appeal of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
subject to receipt by the Employer of a written undertaking from the
Executive:  (i) to reimburse the
Employer for all Expenses actually paid by the Employer to or on behalf of the
Executive in the event it shall be ultimately determined that the Executive is
not entitled to indemnification by the Employer for such Expenses; and (ii) to
assign to the Employer all rights of the Executive to indemnification, under
any policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance or otherwise, to the
extent of the amount of Expenses actually paid by the Employer to or on behalf
of the Executive.

 

8.             GENERAL
PROVISIONS.

 

(a)           SUCCESSORS.  This Agreement is personal to the Executive
and shall not be assignable by the Executive other than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution.  This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s
designated beneficiary, or if none, Executive’s estate.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Employer and its successors, and any successor of
the Employer shall be deemed the “Employer” hereunder.  The Employer shall require any successor to
all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Employer, whether
directly or indirectly, by purchase, merger, consolidation, acquisition of
stock, other business combination, or otherwise, by a written agreement in form
and substance satisfactory to the Executive, expressly to assume and agree to
perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the
Employer would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

 

(b)           ENTIRE
AGREEMENT; MODIFICATIONS.  This
Agreement, along with the Amended and Restated Life Insurance Agreement and the
Participation Agreement under the Deferred Compensation Plan, constitutes the entire
agreement between the parties respecting the subject matter hereof, and
supersedes the 2001 Employment Agreement and all prior negotiations,
undertakings, agreements and arrangements with respect hereto, whether written
or oral. Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein, this Agreement may not
be amended or modified except by written agreement signed by the Executive and
the Employer.

 

(c)           ENFORCEMENT
AND GOVERNING LAW.  The provisions
of this Agreement shall be regarded as divisible and separate; if any of said
provisions should be declared invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall
not be affected thereby.  This Agreement
shall be construed and the legal relations of the parties hereto shall be
determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois without
reference to the law regarding conflicts of law.

 

12

 

(d)           ARBITRATION.  Any dispute or controversy arising under or
in connection with this Agreement or the Executive’s employment by the Employer
shall be settled exclusively by arbitration, conducted by a single arbitrator
sitting in a location selected by the Executive within fifty (50) miles of the
main office of the Employer, in accordance with the rules of the American
Arbitration Association (the “AAA”)
then in effect.  The arbitrator shall be
selected by the parties from a list of arbitrators provided by the AAA,
provided that no arbitrator shall be related to or affiliated with either of
the parties.  No later than ten (10)
days after the list of proposed arbitrators is received by the parties, the
parties, or their respective representatives, shall meet at a mutually
convenient location or telephonically. 
At that meeting, the party who sought arbitration shall eliminate one
(1) proposed arbitrator and then the other party shall eliminate one (1)
proposed arbitrator.  The parties shall
continue to eliminate names from the list of proposed arbitrators in this
manner until a single proposed arbitrator remains.  This remaining arbitrator shall arbitrate the dispute.  Each party shall submit, in writing, the
specific requested action or decision it wishes to take, or make, with respect
to the matter in dispute, and the arbitrator shall be obligated to choose one
(1) party’s specific requested action or decision, without being permitted to
effectuate any compromise position. 
Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having
jurisdiction; provided, however, that the Executive shall be entitled to seek
specific performance of his right to be paid through the date of termination
during the pendency of any dispute or controversy arising under or in
connection with this Agreement.

 

(e)           LEGAL
FEES.  All reasonable legal fees
paid or incurred by the Executive pursuant to any dispute or question of
interpretation relating to this Agreement shall be paid or reimbursed by the
Employer if the Executive is successful on the merits pursuant to a legal
judgment, arbitration or settlement.

 

(f)            SURVIVAL.  The provisions of Sections 4 and 7 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

(g)           WAIVER.  No waiver by either party at any time of any
breach by the other party of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of
this Agreement to be performed by the other party, shall be deemed a waiver of
any similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same time or any
prior or subsequent time.

 

(h)           NOTICES.  Notices pursuant to this Agreement shall be
in writing and shall be deemed given when received; and, if mailed, shall be
mailed by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested,
postage prepaid; and if to the Employer, addressed to the principal
headquarters of the Employer, attention: 
Chairman; or, if to the Executive, to the address set forth below the
Executive’s signature on this Agreement, or to such other address as the party
to be notified shall have given to the other.

WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first above
written.

INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

 

This Indemnity
Agreement (this “Agreement”),
dated as of
              ,
          , is made by and
between Silicon Image, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and
                                    ,
a director and/or officer of the Company (the “Indemnitee”).

 

RECITALS

 

A.            The Company is aware that competent
and experienced persons are increasingly reluctant to serve as directors or
officers of corporations unless they are protected by comprehensive liability insurance
and/or indemnification, due to increased exposure to litigation costs and risks
resulting from their service to such corporations, and due to the fact that the
exposure frequently bears no reasonable relationship to the compensation of
such directors and officers;

 

B.            Based on their experience as
business managers, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has concluded
that, to retain and attract talented and experienced individuals to serve as
officers and directors of the Company, and to encourage such individuals to
take the business risks necessary for the success of the Company, it is
necessary for the Company contractually to indemnify officers and directors and
to assume for itself maximum liability for expenses and damages in connection
with claims against such officers and directors in connection with their
service to the Company;

 

C.            Section 145 of the
General Corporation Law of Delaware, under which the Company is organized (the
“Law”),
empowers the Company to indemnify by agreement its officers, directors,
employees and agents, and persons who serve, at the request of the Company, as
directors, officers, employees or agents of other corporations or enterprises,
and expressly provides that the indemnification provided by the Law is not
exclusive; and

 

D.            The Company desires
and has requested the Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve as a director or
officer of the Company free from undue concern for claims for damages arising
out of or related to such services to the Company.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the
parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

 

1.             Definitions.

 

1.1           Agent.  For the purposes of this Agreement, “agent” of the Company
means any person who is or was a director or officer of the Company or a subsidiary
of the Company; or is or was serving at the request of, for the convenience of,
or to represent the interest of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company as a
director or officer of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise or an affiliate of the Company; or was
a director or officer of a foreign or domestic corporation which was a
predecessor corporation of the Company, including, without limitation, Silicon
Image, Inc., a California corporation, or was a director or officer of another
enterprise or affiliate of the Company at the request of, for the convenience
of, or to represent the interests of such predecessor corporation.  The term “enterprise” includes any employee
benefit plan of the Company, its subsidiaries, affiliates and predecessor
corporations.

 

1

 

1.2           Expenses.  For purposes of this Agreement, “expenses” includes
all direct and indirect costs of any type or nature whatsoever (including,
without limitation, all attorneys’ fees and related disbursements and other
out-of-pocket costs) actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in
connection with the investigation, defense or appeal of a proceeding or
establishing or enforcing a right to indemnification or advancement of expenses
under this Agreement, Section 145 or otherwise; provided, however,
that expenses shall not include any judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or
penalties or amounts paid in settlement of a proceeding.

 

1.3           Proceeding.  For the purposes of this Agreement, “proceeding” means any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or other proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or any other type whatsoever.

 

1.4           Subsidiary.  For purposes of this Agreement, “subsidiary” means any
corporation of which more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting
securities is owned directly or indirectly by the Company, by the Company and
one or more of its subsidiaries or by one or more of the Company’s
subsidiaries.

 

2.             Agreement
to Serve. 
The Indemnitee agrees to serve and/or continue to serve as an agent of
the Company, at the will of the Company (or under separate agreement, if such
agreement exists), in the capacity the Indemnitee currently serves as an agent
of the Company, faithfully and to the best of his ability, so long as he is
duly appointed or elected and qualified in accordance with the applicable
provisions of the charter documents of the Company or any subsidiary of the
Company; provided, however, that the Indemnitee may at any time
and for any reason resign from such position (subject to any contractual
obligation that the Indemnitee may have assumed apart from this Agreement), and
the Company or any subsidiary shall have no obligation under this Agreement to
continue the Indemnitee in any such position.

 

3.             Directors’
and Officers’ Insurance.  The Company shall, to the extent that the Board determines it to
be economically reasonable, maintain a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability
insurance (“D&O
Insurance”), on such terms and conditions as may be approved by
the Board.

 

4.             Mandatory
Indemnification. 
Subject to Section 9 below, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee:

 

4.1           Third Party
Actions.  If the Indemnitee is a person
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding
(other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact
that he is or was an agent of the Company, or by reason of anything done or not
done by him in any such capacity, against any and all expenses and liabilities
of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, ERISA
excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with the investigation, defense,
settlement or appeal of such proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests
of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; and

 

4.2           Derivative
Actions.  If the Indemnitee is a
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a

 

2

 

judgment in its favor by reason
of the fact that he is or was an agent of the Company, or by reason of anything
done or not done by him in any such capacity, against any amounts paid in
settlement of any such proceeding and all expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or
appeal of such proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
Company; except that no indemnification under this subsection shall be
made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall
have been finally adjudged to be liable to the Company by a court of competent
jurisdiction due to willful misconduct of a culpable nature in the performance
of his duty to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the Court of
Chancery or the court in which such proceeding 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 amounts which the Court of Chancery or such other court
shall deem proper; and

 

4.3           Exception for
Amounts Covered by Insurance. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to
indemnify the Indemnitee for expenses or liabilities of any type whatsoever
(including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or
penalties and amounts paid in settlement) to the extent such have been paid
directly to the Indemnitee by D&O Insurance.

 

5.             Partial
Indemnification and Contribution.

 

5.1           Partial
Indemnification.  If the Indemnitee
is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the
Company for some or a portion of any expenses or liabilities of any type
whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes
or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) incurred by him in the
investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of a proceeding but is not
entitled, however, to indemnification for all of the total amount thereof, then
the Company shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee for such total amount
except as to the portion thereof to which the Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification.

 

5.2           Contribution.  If the Indemnitee is not entitled to the
indemnification provided in Section 4 for any reason other than the statutory
limitations set forth in the Law, then in respect of any threatened, pending or
completed proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with the Indemnitee
(or would be if joined in such proceeding), the Company shall contribute to the
amount of expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable by the
Indemnitee in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative
benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Indemnitee on the
other hand from the transaction from which such proceeding arose and (ii) the
relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Indemnitee on the
other hand in connection with the events which resulted in such expenses,
judgments, fines or settlement amounts, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations.  The relative fault of
the Company on the one hand and of the Indemnitee on the other hand shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, the parties’ relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent the
circumstances resulting in such expenses, judgments, fines or settlement
amounts.  The Company agrees that it
would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5 were
determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does
not take account of the foregoing equitable considerations.

 

3

 

6.             Mandatory
Advancement of Expenses.

 

6.1           Advancement.  Subject to Section 9 below, the Company
shall advance all expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the
investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of any proceeding to which the
Indemnitee is a party or is threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact
that the Indemnitee is or was an agent of the Company or by reason of anything
done or not done by him in any such capacity. 
The Indemnitee hereby undertakes to promptly repay such amounts advanced
only if, and to the extent that, it shall ultimately be determined that the
Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company under the
provisions of this Agreement, the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the
Company, the Law or otherwise.  The
advances to be made hereunder shall be paid by the Company to the Indemnitee
within thirty (30) days following delivery of a written request therefor by the
Indemnitee to the Company.

 

6.2           Exception.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Section 6, the Company shall not be obligated to advance any expenses to
the Indemnitee arising from a lawsuit filed directly by the Company against the
Indemnitee if an absolute majority of the members of the Board reasonably
determines in good faith, within thirty (30) days of the Indemnitee’s request
to be advanced expenses, that the facts known to them at the time such
determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that the Indemnitee
acted in bad faith.  If such a
determination is made, the Indemnitee may have such decision reviewed by another
forum, in the manner set forth in Sections 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5 hereof, with all
references therein to “indemnification” being deemed to refer to “advancement
of expenses,” and the burden of proof shall be on the Company to demonstrate
clearly and convincingly that, based on the facts known at the time, the
Indemnitee acted in bad faith.  The
Company may not avail itself of this Section 6.2 as to a given lawsuit if, at
any time after the occurrence of the activities or omissions that are the
primary focus of the lawsuit, the Company has undergone a change in
control.  For this purpose, a change in
control shall mean a given person or group of affiliated persons or groups
increasing their beneficial ownership interest in the Company by at least
twenty (20) percentage points without advance Board approval.

 

7.             Notice
and Other Indemnification Procedures.

 

7.1           Promptly after
receipt by the Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of or the threat of
commencement of any proceeding, the Indemnitee shall, if the Indemnitee
believes that indemnification with respect thereto may be sought from the
Company under this Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement or threat
of commencement thereof.

 

7.2           If, at the time of
the receipt of a notice of the commencement of a proceeding pursuant to Section
7.1 hereof, the Company has D&O Insurance in effect, the Company shall give
prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the 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 the
Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance
with the terms of such D&O Insurance policies.

 

7.3           In the event the
Company shall be obligated to advance the expenses for any proceeding against
the Indemnitee, the Company, if appropriate, shall be entitled to assume

 

4

 

the defense of such proceeding,
with counsel approved by the Indemnitee (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld), upon the delivery to the Indemnitee of written notice
of its election to do so.  After
delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by the Indemnitee and the
retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to the
Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred
by the Indemnitee with respect to the same proceeding, provided
that:  (a) the Indemnitee shall have the
right to employ his own counsel in any such proceeding at the Indemnitee’s
expense; (b) the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his own counsel in
connection with any such proceeding, at the expense of the Company, if such
counsel serves in a review, observer, advice and counseling capacity and does not
otherwise materially control or participate in the defense of such proceeding;
and (c) if (i) the employment of counsel by the Indemnitee has been previously
authorized by the Company, (ii) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded
that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and the Indemnitee
in the conduct of any such defense or (iii) the Company shall not, in fact,
have employed counsel to assume the defense of such proceeding, then the fees
and expenses of the Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the
Company.

 

8.             Determination
of Right to Indemnification.

 

8.1           To the extent the
Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
proceeding referred to in Section 4.1 or 4.2 of this Agreement or in the
defense of any claim, issue or matter described therein, the Company shall
indemnify the Indemnitee against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by
him in connection with the investigation, defense or appeal of such proceeding,
or such claim, issue or matter, as the case may be.

 

8.2           In the event that
Section 8.1 is inapplicable, or does not apply to the entire proceeding, the
Company shall nonetheless indemnify the Indemnitee unless the Company shall
prove by clear and convincing evidence to a forum listed in Section 8.3 below
that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct required to
entitle the Indemnitee to such indemnification.

 

8.3           The Indemnitee shall
be entitled to select the forum in which the validity of the Company’s claim
under Section 8.2 hereof that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification
will be heard from among the following, except that the Indemnitee can
select a forum consisting of the stockholders of the Company only with the
approval of the Company:

 

(a)           A quorum of the
Board consisting of directors who are not parties to the proceeding for which
indemnification is being sought;

 

(b)           The stockholders of
the Company;

 

(c)           Legal counsel
mutually agreed upon by the Indemnitee and the Board, which counsel shall make
such determination in a written opinion;

 

(d)           A panel of three
arbitrators, one of whom is selected by the Company, another of whom is
selected by the Indemnitee and the last of whom is selected by the first two
arbitrators so selected; or

 

5

 

(e)           The Court of
Chancery of Delaware or other court having jurisdiction of subject matter and
the parties.

 

8.4           As soon as
practicable, and in no event later than thirty (30) days after the forum has
been selected pursuant to Section 8.3 above, the Company shall, at its own
expense, submit to the selected forum its claim that the Indemnitee is not
entitled to indemnification, and the Company shall act in the utmost good faith
to assure the Indemnitee a complete opportunity to defend against such claim.

 

8.5           If the forum
selected in accordance with Section 8.3 hereof is not a court, then after the
final decision of such forum is rendered, the Company or the Indemnitee shall
have the right to apply to the Court of Chancery of Delaware, the court in
which the proceeding giving rise to the Indemnitee’s claim for indemnification
is or was pending or any other court of competent jurisdiction, for the purpose
of appealing the decision of such forum, provided that such right is
executed within sixty (60) days after the final decision of such forum is
rendered.  If the forum selected in
accordance with Section 8.3 hereof is a court, then the rights of the Company
or the Indemnitee to appeal any decision of such court shall be governed by the
applicable laws and rules governing appeals of the decision of such court.

 

8.6           Notwithstanding any
other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall indemnify
the Indemnitee against all expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection
with any hearing or proceeding under this Section 8 involving the Indemnitee
and against all expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any
other proceeding between the Company and the Indemnitee involving the interpretation
or enforcement of the rights of the Indemnitee under this Agreement unless a
court of competent jurisdiction finds that each of the material claims and/or
defenses of the Indemnitee in any such proceeding was frivolous or not made in
good faith.

 

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

 

9.1           Claims Initiated
by Indemnitee.  To indemnify or
advance expenses to the Indemnitee with respect to proceedings or claims
initiated or brought voluntarily by the Indemnitee and not by way of defense, except
with respect to proceedings specifically authorized by the Board or brought to
establish or enforce a right to indemnification and/or advancement of expenses
arising under this Agreement, the charter documents of the Company or any
subsidiary or any statute or law or otherwise, but such indemnification or
advancement of expenses may be provided by the Company in specific cases if the
Board finds it to be appropriate; or

 

9.2           Unauthorized
Settlements.  To indemnify the
Indemnitee hereunder for any amounts paid in settlement of a proceeding unless
the Company consents in advance in writing to such settlement, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld; or

 

9.3           Securities Law
Actions.  To indemnify the
Indemnitee on account of any suit in which judgment 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and amendments thereto or similar
provisions of any federal, state or local statutory law; or

 

6

 

9.4           Unlawful
Indemnification.  To indemnify the
Indemnitee if a final decision by a court having jurisdiction in the matter
shall determine that such indemnification is not lawful.  In this respect, the Company and the
Indemnitee have been advised that the Securities and Exchange Commission takes
the position that indemnification for liabilities arising under the federal
securities laws is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable and
that claims for indemnification should be submitted to appropriate courts for
adjudication.

 

10.          Non-Exclusivity.  The provisions for indemnification and
advancement of expenses set forth in this Agreement shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights which the Indemnitee may have under any provision
of law, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, the vote of the
Company’s stockholders or disinterested directors, other agreements or
otherwise, both as to action in the Indemnitee’s official capacity and to
action in another capacity while occupying his position as an agent of the Company,
and the Indemnitee’s rights hereunder shall continue after the Indemnitee has
ceased acting as an agent of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of the
heirs, executors and administrators of the Indemnitee.

 

11.          General
Provisions.

 

11.1         Interpretation of
Agreement.  It is understood that
the parties hereto intend this Agreement to be interpreted and enforced so as

herein.

 

11.2         Severability.  If any provision or provisions of this

whatsoever, then:  (a) the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement
(including, without limitation, all portions of any paragraphs of this
Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable that are not themselves 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, all
portions of any paragraphs of this Agreement containing any such provision held
to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid,
illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent
manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable and to give
effect to Section 11.1 hereof.

 

11.3         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 provision hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such
waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

 

11.4         Subrogation.  In the event of full payment under this
Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all
of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee, who shall execute all documents
required and shall do all acts that may be necessary or desirable to secure
such rights and to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such
rights.

assigns of the parties hereto.

 

11.7         Notice.  All notices, requests, demands and other
communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed
duly given:  (a) if delivered by hand

registered mail, with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the
mailing date.  Addresses for notice to
either party are as shown on the signature page of this Agreement or as
subsequently modified by written notice.

 

11.8         Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed exclusively
by and construed according to the laws of the State of California, as applied
to contracts between California residents entered into and to be performed
entirely within California.

any action to enforce rights under this Agreement (including, without
limitation, the expenses of any Proceeding described in Section 3), the
