                                         with any and all accrued and unpaid interest, plus any applicable pre-payment premium
                                         set forth herein and subject to the terms of this Section 1.a, at any time on or prior

                                         Date”). In the event the Note is not prepaid in full on or before the Prepayment

                                         premium of 120%, in addition to outstanding interest, without the Holder’s consent;
                                         from the 91st day to the Prepayment Date, the Company may pay the principal at a cash
                                         redemption premium of 125%, in addition to outstanding interest, without the Holder’s
                                         consent. After the Prepayment Date up to the Maturity Date this Note shall have a cash
                                         redemption premium of 135% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Note, plus
                                         accrued interest and Default Interest, if any, which may only be paid by the Company
                                         upon Holder’s prior written consent. At any time on or after the Maturity Date,
                                         the Company may repay the then outstanding principal plus accrued interest and Default

                                         hereof on demand by the Holder at any time on or after the Maturity Date. The Default
                                         Amount (defined herein), if applicable, shall be paid to Holder hereof on demand by the
                                         Holder at any time such Default Amount becomes due and payable to Holder.

 

		c.	Interest.
                                         This Note shall bear interest (“Interest”) at the rate of Twelve Percent
                                         (12%) per annum from the Issuance Date until the same is paid, or otherwise converted
                                         in accordance with Section 2 below, in full and the Holder, at the Holder’s sole
                                         discretion, may include any accrued but unpaid Interest in the Conversion Amount. Interest
                                         shall commence accruing on the Issuance Date, shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day
                                         year and the actual number of days elapsed and shall accrue daily and, after the Maturity
                                         Date, compound quarterly. Upon an Event of Default, as defined in Section 10 below, the
                                         Interest Rate shall increase to Eighteen Percent (18%) per annum for so long as the Event
                                         of Default is continuing (“Default Interest”).

                                         by check or wire transfer to such account as the Holder may from time to time designate
                                         by written notice to the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Whenever
                                         any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not
                                         a Business Day (as defined below), the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding
                                         day which is a Business Day and, in the case of any interest payment date which is not
                                         the date on which this Note is paid in full, the extension of the due date thereof shall
                                         not be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of interest due on such
                                         date. For purposes of this Note, “Business Day” shall mean any day other

                                         meanings:

 

		i.	“Conversion
                                         Amount” means the sum of (a) the principal amount of this Note to be converted
                                         with respect to which this determination is being made, (b) Interest; and (c) Default
                                         Interest, if any, if so included at the Holder’s sole discretion.

                                         (15) trading days to the date of a Conversion Notice.

		iv.	“Shares”
                                         means the Shares of the Common Stock of the Company into which any balance on this Note
                                         may be converted upon submission of a “Conversion Notice” to the Company
                                         substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1.

 

		b.	Holder’s
                                         Conversion Rights. At any time after the Prepayment Date, the Holder shall be entitled
                                         to convert all of the outstanding and unpaid principal and accrued interest of this Note
                                         into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with the stated
                                         Conversion Price. The Holder shall not be entitled to convert on a Conversion Date that
                                         amount of the Note in connection with that number of shares of Common Stock which would
                                         be in excess of the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion
                                         of the Note with respect to which the determination of this provision is being made on
                                         a Conversion Date, which would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates
                                         of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on such Conversion
                                         Date.  For the purposes of the provision to the immediately preceding sentence,
                                         beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities
                                         Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder.  Subject to the
                                         foregoing, the Holder shall not be limited to aggregate conversions of 4.99% (“Conversion
                                         Limitation 1”).  The Holder shall have the authority to determine whether
                                         the restriction contained in this Section 2(b) will limit any conversion hereunder,
                                         and accordingly, the Holder may waive the conversion limitation described in this Section
                                         2(b), in whole or in part, upon and effective after 61 days prior written notice
                                         to the Company to increase or decrease such percentage to any other amount as determined
                                         by Holder in its sole discretion (“Conversion Limitation 2”).

 

		c.	Fractional
                                         Shares. The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any
                                         conversion; if such issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of
                                         Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to
                                         the nearest whole share except in the event that rounding up would violate the conversion
                                         limitation set forth in section 2(b) above.

 

		d.	Conversion
                                         Amount. The Conversion Amount shall be converted pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1)(ii) and Rule
                                         144(d)(1)(ii) as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities
                                         Act of 1933, as amended, into unrestricted shares at the Conversion Price.

 

		e.	Mechanics
                                         of Conversion. The conversion of this Note shall be conducted in the following manner:

 

		i.	Holder’s
                                         Conversion Requirements. To convert this Note into shares of Common Stock on any date
                                         set forth in the Conversion Notice by the Holder (the “Conversion Date”),
                                         the Holder shall transmit by email, facsimile or otherwise deliver, for receipt on or
                                         prior to 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on such date or on the next business day, a copy of
                                         a fully executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1 to the
                                         Company.

 

		ii.	Company’s
                                         Response. Upon receipt by the Company of a copy of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall
                                         as soon as practicable, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day after receipt
                                         of such Conversion Notice, send, via email, facsimile or overnight courier, a confirmation
                                         of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such Holder indicating that the Company will
                                         process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein. Within two (2) Business
                                         Days after the date the Conversion Notice is delivered, the Company shall have issued
                                         and electronically transferred the shares to the Broker indicated in the Conversion Notice;
                                         should the Company be unable to transfer the shares electronically, it shall, within
                                         two (2) Business Days after the date the Conversion Notice was delivered, have surrendered
                                         to an overnight courier for delivery the next day to the address as specified in the

                                         of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled.

		iii.	Record
                                         Holder. The person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable
                                         upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder
                                         or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.

 

		iv.	Timely
                                         Response by Company. Upon receipt by Company of a Conversion Notice, Company shall respond
                                         within one business day to Holder confirming the details of the Conversion, and provide
                                         within two business days the Shares requested in the Conversion Notice.

 

		v.	Liquidated
                                         Damages for Delinquent Response. If the Company fails to deliver for whatever reason
                                         (including any neglect or failure by, e.g., the Company, its counsel or the transfer
                                         agent) to Holder the Shares as requested in a Conversion Notice within three (3) business
                                         days of the Conversion Date, the Company shall be deemed in “Default of Conversion.”
                                         Beginning on the fourth (4th) business day after the date of the Conversion
                                         Notice, after the Company is deemed in Default of Conversion, there shall accrue liquidated
                                         damages (the “Conversion Damages”) of $2,000 per day for each day after the
                                         third business day until delivery of the Shares is made, and such penalty will be added
                                         to the Note being converted (under the Company’s and Holder’s expectation
                                         and understanding that any penalty amounts will tack back to the Issuance Date of the
                                         Note). The Parties agree that, at the time of drafting of this Note, the Holder’s
                                         damages as to the delinquent response are incapable or difficult to estimate and that
                                         the liquidated damages called for is a reasonable forecast of just compensation.

 

		vi.	Liquidated
                                         Damages for Inability to Issue Shares. If the Company fails to deliver Shares requested
                                         by a Conversion Notice due to an exhaustion of authorized and issuable common stock such
                                         that the Company must increase the number of shares of authorized Common Stock before
                                         the Shares requested may be issued to the Holder, the discount set forth in the Conversion
                                         Price will be increased by 5 percentage points (i.e. from 40% to 45%) for the Conversion
                                         Notice in question and all future Conversion Notices until the outstanding principal
                                         and interest of the Note is converted or paid in full. These liquidated damages shall
                                         not render the penalties prescribed by Paragraph 2(e)(v) void, and shall be applied in
                                         conjunction with Paragraph 2(e)(v) unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Holder.
                                         The Parties agree that, at the time of drafting of this Note, the Holder’s damages
                                         as to the inability to issue shares are incapable or difficult to estimate and that the
                                         liquidated damages called for is a reasonable forecast of just compensation.

 

		vii.	Rescindment

                                         the Shares requested in the Conversion Notice for any reason related to the Company's
                                         standing with the SEC or FINRA, or any action or inaction by the Company, (v) if the
                                         Holder is informed that the Company does not have the authorized and issuable Shares
                                         available to satisfy the Conversion, or (vi) if OTC Markets changes the Company's designation
                                         to 'Limited Information' (Yield), 'No Information' (Stop Sign), 'Caveat Emptor' (Skull

                                         day of or any day after the date of the Conversion Notice, the Holder maintains the option
                                         and sole discretion to rescind the Conversion Notice ("Rescindment") by delivering
                                         a notice of rescindment to the Company in the same manner that a Conversion Notice is
                                         required to be delivered to the Company pursuant to the terms of this Note.

                                         Shares requested in any given Conversion Notice. These fees do not make provision for

                                         Holder of any obligation to the Company.

                                         in form and substance to this Note, and reasonably satisfactory to the Holder. Prior
                                         to the consummation of any other Organic Change, the Company shall make appropriate provision
                                         (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder) to ensure that the Holder
                                         will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in lieu of or in addition to (as
                                         the case may be) the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable

                                         for the number of shares of Common Stock which would have been acquirable and receivable
                                         upon the conversion of the Note as of the date of such Organic Change (without taking
                                         into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Note set forth
                                         in Section 2(b) or otherwise). All provisions of this Note must be included to the satisfaction
                                         of Holder in any new Note created pursuant to this section.

                                         or options to purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible Securities, shall be issued
                                         or sold (collectively, the “Common Stock Equivalents”) and the aggregate
                                         of the price per share for which additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter
                                         pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalent, plus the consideration received by the Company
                                         for issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent divided by the number of shares of Common

                                         than the applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time of such amendment or adjustment,
                                         then the applicable Conversion Price upon each such issuance or amendment shall be reduced
                                         to the lower of: (i) the Conversion Price; or (ii) a twenty-five percent (25%) discount
                                         to the lowest Aggregate Per Common Share Price (whether or not such Common Stock Equivalents
                                         are actually then exercisable, convertible or exchangeable in whole or in part) as of
                                         the earlier of (A) the date on which the Company shall enter into a firm contract for
                                         the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent, or (B) the date of actual issuance of such
                                         Common Stock Equivalent. No adjustment of the applicable Conversion Price shall be made
                                         under this Section 6 upon the issuance of any Convertible Security which is outstanding
                                         on the day immediately preceding the Issuance Date.

 

		7.	Reservation
                                         of Shares. The Company shall at all times, so long as any principal amount of the Note
                                         is outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares

                                         immediate repayment of all or any portion of the Note that remains outstanding; at such
                                         time the Company will be required to pay the Holder the Default Amount (defined herein)
                                         in cash. For purposes hereof, the “Default Amount” shall mean: the product

                                         then Holder shall have the right at any time, so long as the Company remains in default
                                         (and so long and to the extent there are a sufficient number of authorized but unissued
                                         shares), to require the Company, upon written notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of
                                         the Default Amount, the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company equal to the
                                         Default Amount divided by the Conversion Price then in effect.

Exhibit 10.2

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is effective as of [_______, 20__], by and among Basic Energy Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [NAME] (the “Indemnitee”).
WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify certain of its Authorized Representatives (as defined below) of the Company to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve as such free from undue concern that they will not be adequately protected;
WHEREAS, the Indemnitee is willing to serve and continue to serve as an Authorized Representative on the condition that he be so indemnified; and
WHEREAS, to the extent permitted by law, this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the provisions of the certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate”) and bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”), in each case as amended and effect on the date hereof, or resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of the Indemnitee thereunder;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Company and the Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:
1.Services by the Indemnitee.  The Indemnitee agrees to continue to serve at the request of the Company as an Authorized Representative.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign from any such position.
2.    Indemnification - General.  The Company shall indemnify, and advance Expenses (as hereinafter defined) to, the Indemnitee as provided in this Agreement and 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.  The rights of the Indemnitee provided under the preceding sentence shall include, but shall not be limited to, the rights set forth in the other Sections of this Agreement.
3.    Proceedings Other Than Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company.  The Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section 3 if, by reason of his Corporate Status (as hereinafter defined), he is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding (as hereinafter defined), other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company.  Pursuant to this Section 3, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee against Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement (as and to the extent permitted hereunder) actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, 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 Proceeding, if he also had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
4.    Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company.  The Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section 4 if, by reason of his Corporate Status, he is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor.  Pursuant to this Section 4, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee against Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with 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.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification against such Expenses shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter in such Proceeding as to which the Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company or if applicable law prohibits such indemnification; provided, however, that if applicable law so permits, indemnification against Expenses shall nevertheless be made by the Company in such event if and to the extent that the court in which such Proceeding shall have been brought or is pending, shall so determine.
5.    Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful.
(a)    To the extent that the Indemnitee is, by reason of his Corporate Status, a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith.  If the Indemnitee is not wholly successful in defense of any 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 the Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with each such claim, issue or matter as to which the Indemnitee is successful, on the merits or otherwise.  For purposes of this Section 5(a), the term “successful, on the merits or otherwise,” shall include, but shall not be limited to, (i) the termination of any claim, issue or matter in a Proceeding by withdrawal or dismissal, with or without prejudice, (ii) termination of any claim, issue or matter in a Proceeding by any other means without any express finding of liability or guilt against the Indemnitee, with or without prejudice or (iii) the expiration of 120 days after the making of a claim or threat of a Proceeding without the institution of the same and without any promise or payment made to induce a settlement.  The provisions of this Section 5(a) are subject to Section 5(b) below.
(b)    In no event shall the Indemnitee be entitled to indemnification under Section 5(a) above with respect to a claim, issue or matter to the extent (i) applicable law prohibits such indemnification, or (ii) an admission is made by the Indemnitee in writing to the Company or in such Proceeding or a final, nonappealable determination is made in such Proceeding that the standard of conduct required for indemnification under this Agreement has not been met with respect to such claim, issue or matter.
6.    Indemnification for Expenses as a Witness.  Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, to the extent that the Indemnitee is, by reason of his Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in connection therewith.
7.    Advancement of Expenses.  The Company shall advance all reasonable Expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding within 10 days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from the Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after the final disposition of such Proceeding.  Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee.  The Indemnitee hereby expressly undertakes to repay such amounts advanced only if, and to the extent that, it shall ultimately be determined by a final, non-appealable adjudication or arbitration decision that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses.  All amounts advanced to the Indemnitee by the Company pursuant to this Section 7 shall be without interest.  The Company shall make all advances pursuant to this Section 7 without regard to the financial ability of the Indemnitee to make repayment, without bond or other security and without regard to the prospect of whether the Indemnitee may ultimately be found to be entitled to indemnification under the provisions of this Agreement.  Any required reimbursement of Expenses by the Indemnitee shall be made by the Indemnitee to the Company within 10 days following the entry of the final, non-appealable adjudication or arbitration decision pursuant to which it is determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses.
8.    Procedure for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification.
(a)    To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request therefor, along with such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification; provided, however, that no deficiency in any such request, documentation or information shall adversely affect the Indemnitee’s rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Agreement.  The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board in writing that the Indemnitee has requested indemnification.
(b)    Upon written request by the Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of Section 8(a) hereof, a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to the Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case: (i) by the Board by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined); or (ii) if a quorum of the Board consisting of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, such quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs, by Independent Counsel (as hereinafter defined), as selected pursuant to Section 8(d), in a written opinion to the Board (which opinion may be a “more likely than not” opinion), a copy of which shall be delivered to the Indemnitee.  If it is so determined that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall make payment to the Indemnitee within 10 days after such determination.  The Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Person or Persons making such determination with respect to the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such Person or Persons upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to the Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination.  Subject to the provisions of Section 10 hereof, any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the Indemnitee in so cooperating with the Person or Persons making such determination shall be borne by the Company, and the Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Indemnitee harmless therefrom.
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change of Control has occurred, the Indemnitee may require a determination with respect to the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification to be made by Independent Counsel, as selected pursuant to Section 8(d), in a written opinion to the Board (which opinion may be a “more likely than not” opinion), a copy of which shall be delivered to the Indemnitee.
(d)    In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 8(b) or (c) hereof, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 8(d).  If a Change of Control shall not have occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board (including a vote of a majority of the Disinterested Directors if obtainable), and the Company shall give written notice to the Indemnitee advising him of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected.  If a Change of Control shall have occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Indemnitee (unless the Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board, in which event the preceding sentence shall apply), and approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  If (i) an Independent Counsel is to make the determination of entitlement pursuant to Section 8(b) or (c) hereof, and (ii) within 20 days after submission by the Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 8(a) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected, either the Company or the Indemnitee may petition the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a Person selected by such court or by such other Person as such court shall designate.  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 Section 8(b) or (c) hereof, and the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the procedures of this Section 8(d), regardless of the manner in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed.  Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 10(a)(iv) of this Agreement, Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing).
9.    Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings; Construction of Certain Phrases.
(a)    In making a determination with respect to whether the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Person(s) making such determination shall presume that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if the Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 8(a) of this Agreement, and anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion, by clear and convincing evidence. 
(b)    Subject to the terms of Section 16 below, the termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of the Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
(c)    For purposes of any determination of the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise, the Indemnitee shall be deemed to have 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 a criminal Proceeding, to have also had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, if it is determined by the Board or by the Independent Counsel, as applicable, that Indemnitee’s action is based on the Indemnitee’s reliance in good faith on the records or books of account of the Company or another enterprise, including financial statements, or on information supplied to the Indemnitee by the officers of the Company or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal or financial counsel for the Company or the Board (or any committee thereof) or for another enterprise or its board of directors (or any committee thereof), or on information or records given or reports made by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected by the Company or the Board (or any committee thereof) or by another enterprise or its board of directors (or any committee thereof).  For purposes of this Section 9(c), the term “another enterprise” means any other corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which the Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent.  The provisions of this Section 9(c) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which the Indemnitee may be deemed or found to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement.  In addition, the knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any other director, trustee, partner, managing member, fiduciary, officer, agent or employee of the Company shall not be imputed to the Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.  Whether or not the foregoing provisions of this Section 9(c) are satisfied, it shall in any event be presumed that the Indemnitee has 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 a criminal Proceeding, that he also had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.  Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion, by clear and convincing evidence.
(d)    For purposes of this Agreement, references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on the Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan; references to “serving at the request of the Company” shall include, but shall not be limited to, any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company which imposes duties on, or involves services by, the Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or its beneficiaries; and if the Indemnitee has acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan, he shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Company” as used in this Agreement.  The provisions of this Section 9(d) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which the Indemnitee may be deemed or found to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement.
10.    Remedies of the Indemnitee.
(a)    In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement, (iii) the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by the Board pursuant to Section 8(b) of this Agreement and such determination shall not have been made and delivered to the Indemnitee in writing within twenty (20) days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 8(b) or (c) of this Agreement and such determination shall not have been made in a written opinion to the Board and a copy delivered to the Indemnitee within forty-five (45) days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (v) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement within 10 days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor or (vi) payment of indemnification is not made within 10 days after a determination has been made that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or such determination is deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 8 or 9 of this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware of his entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses.  Alternatively, the Indemnitee, at his sole option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association.  The Indemnitee shall commence such Proceeding seeking an adjudication or an award in arbitration within 180 days following the date on which the Indemnitee first has the right to commence such Proceeding pursuant to this Section 10(a); provided, however, that the foregoing clause shall not apply in respect of a Proceeding brought by the Indemnitee to enforce his rights under Section 5 of this Agreement.
(b)    In the event that a determination is made pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 10 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial or a de novo arbitration (as applicable) on the merits, and the Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination.  In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 10, the Company shall have the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, and the Company shall be precluded from referring to or offering into evidence a determination made pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement that is adverse to the Indemnitee’s right to indemnification.  If the Indemnitee commences a judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to this Section 10, the Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any advances pursuant to Section 7 until a final determination is made with respect to the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification (as to which all rights of appeal have been exhausted or have lapsed).
(c)    If a determination is made or deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 8 or 9 of this Agreement that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 10, absent (i) an intentional misstatement by the Indemnitee of a material fact, or an intentional omission by the Indemnitee of a material fact necessary to make the Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.
(d)    The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 10 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Company is bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement.
(e)    In the event that the Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 10, seeks a judicial adjudication or an award in arbitration to enforce his rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the Company, and shall be indemnified by the Company against, any and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him in such judicial adjudication or arbitration to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that until a final determination is made, the Indemnitee shall be entitled under Section 7 to receive payment of Expenses hereunder with respect to such Proceeding.  In the event that a Proceeding is commenced by or in the right of the Company against the Indemnitee to enforce or interpret any of the terms of this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the Company, and shall be indemnified by the Company against, any and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him in such Proceeding (including with respect to any counter-claims or cross-claims made by the Indemnitee against the Company in such Proceeding) to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that until a final determination is made, the Indemnitee shall be entitled under Section 7 to receive payment of Expenses hereunder with respect to such Proceeding.
(f)    Any judicial adjudication or arbitration determined under this Section 10 shall be final and binding on the parties.
11.    Defense of Certain Proceedings.  In the event the Company shall be obligated under this Agreement to pay the Expenses of any Proceeding against the Indemnitee in which the Company is a co-defendant with the Indemnitee, the Company shall be entitled to assume 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 Indemnitee shall nevertheless be entitled to employ or continue to employ his own counsel in such Proceeding.  Employment of such counsel by the Indemnitee shall be at the cost and expense of the Company unless and until the Company shall have demonstrated to the reasonable satisfaction of the Indemnitee and the Indemnitee’s counsel that there is complete identity of issues and defenses and no conflict of interest between the Company and the Indemnitee in such Proceeding, after which time further employment of such counsel by the Indemnitee shall be at the cost and expense of the Indemnitee.  In all events, if the Company shall not, in fact, have timely employed counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding, then the fees and Expenses of the Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the cost and expense of the Company.
12.    Exception to Right of Indemnification or Advancement of Expenses.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Agreement with respect to any Proceeding, or any claim therein, brought or made by the Indemnitee against:
(a)    the Company, except for (i) any claim or Proceeding in respect of this Agreement and/or the Indemnitee’s rights hereunder, (ii) any claim or Proceeding to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under any statute or law, other agreement with the Company or the Company’s Certificate or Bylaws as now or hereafter in effect, and (iii) any counter-claim or cross‐claim brought or made by him against the Company in any Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Company against him; or
(b)    any other Person, except for Proceedings or claims approved by the Board.
13.    Contribution.
(a)    If, with respect to any Proceeding, the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to the Indemnitee for any reason other than that the Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to a criminal Proceeding, that the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, the Company shall contribute to the amount of Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee or on his behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Indemnitee and the relative fault of the Indemnitee versus the other defendants or participants in connection with the action or inaction which resulted in such Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
(b)    The Company and the Indemnitee agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 13 were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in Section 13(a) above.
(c)    No Person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act of 1933) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not found guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
14.    Officer and Director Liability Insurance.
(a)    The Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain in effect during the entire period for which the Company is obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement, one or more policies of insurance with reputable insurance companies to provide the directors and officers of the Company with coverage for losses from wrongful acts and omissions and to ensure the Company’s performance of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement.  In all such insurance policies, the Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a manner as to provide the Indemnitee with the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably insured of the Company’s directors and officers.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to obtain or maintain such insurance if the Company determines in good faith that the Indemnitee is covered by such insurance maintained by a subsidiary or parent of the Company.
(b)    To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors or officers of any other corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which the Indemnitee serves at the request of the Company, the Indemnitee shall be named as an insured under and shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for the most favorably insured director or officer under such policy or policies.
(c)    In the event that the Company is a named insured under any policy or policies of insurance referenced in either Section 14(a) or (b) above, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that it will not settle any claims or Proceedings that may be covered by such policy or policies of insurance and in which the Indemnitee has or may incur Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines or amounts paid in settlement without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee.
15.    Security.  Upon reasonable request by the Indemnitee, the Company shall provide security to the Indemnitee for the Company’s obligations hereunder through an irrevocable bank letter of credit, funded trust or other similar collateral.  Any such security, once provided to the Indemnitee, may not be revoked or released without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent may be granted or withheld at the Indemnitee’s sole and absolute discretion.
16.    Settlement of Claims.  The Company shall not be liable to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding effected without the Company’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
17.    Duration of Agreement.  This Agreement shall be unaffected by the termination of the Corporate Status of the Indemnitee and shall continue for so long as the Indemnitee may have any liability or potential liability by virtue of his Corporate Status, including, without limitation, the final termination of all pending Proceedings in respect of which the Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder and of any Proceeding commenced by the Indemnitee pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement relating thereto, whether or not he is acting or serving in such capacity at the time any liability or Expense is incurred for which indemnification can be provided under this Agreement.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company), assigns, spouses, heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives.
18.    Remedies of the Company.  The Company hereby covenants and agrees to submit any and all disputes relating to this Agreement that the parties are unable to resolve between themselves to binding arbitration pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association and waives all rights to judicial adjudication of any matter or dispute relating to this Agreement except where judicial adjudication is requested or required by the Indemnitee.
19.    Limitation of Liability.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither party shall have any liability to the other for, and neither party shall be entitled to recover from the other, any consequential, special, punitive, multiple or exemplary damages as a result of a breach of this Agreement.
20.    Subrogation.  In the event of any 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 papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.

In the event that a change in applicable law after the date of this Agreement, whether by statute, rule or judicial decision, narrows or otherwise reduces the right or ability of a Delaware corporation to indemnify (or otherwise pay or advance Expenses as to any Proceeding for the benefit of) a member of its board of directors or an officer, such change shall have no effect on this Agreement or any of the Indemnitee’s rights hereunder, except and only to the extent required by law.
25.    Interpretation of Agreement; Negligence.  The Company and the Indemnitee acknowledge and agree that it is their intention that this Agreement be interpreted and enforced so as to provide indemnification to the Indemnitee to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by law.  WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, THE COMPANY AND THE INDEMNITEE EACH HEREBY EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT (A) THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL EXTEND TO AND INCLUDE, BUT SHALL NOT BE LIMITED TO, INDEMNIFICATION FOR EXPENSES, JUDGMENTS, PENALTIES, FINES AND AMOUNTS PAID IN SETTLEMENT ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE SOLE OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNITEE AND (B) THIS SECTION 25 CONSTITUTES A CONSPICUOUS NOTICE OF SUCH AGREEMENT FOR ALL PURPOSES.
26.    Severability.  If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining 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) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; (b) such provision or provisions will be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (c) 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, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision or provisions held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.
27.    Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue; Specific Performance.
(a)    The parties agree that this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION, THE TERM “ACTION OR PROCEEDING” IS DEFINED AS ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, SUITS, ACTIONS, HEARINGS, ARBITRATIONS OR OTHER SIMILAR PROCEEDINGS, INCLUDING APPEALS AND PETITIONS THEREFROM, WHETHER FORMAL OR INFORMAL, GOVERNMENTAL OR NON‐GOVERNMENTAL, OR CIVIL OR CRIMINAL.  THE FOREGOING CONSENT TO JURISDICTION SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE GENERAL CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE OR THE STATE OF TEXAS FOR ANY PURPOSE EXCEPT AS PROVIDED ABOVE, AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO CONFER RIGHTS ON ANY PERSON OTHER THAN THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT.
(c)    The Company acknowledges that the Indemnitee may, as a result of the Company’s breach of its covenants and obligations under this Agreement, sustain immediate and long-term substantial and irreparable injury and damage which cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated by damages at law.  Consequently, the Company agrees that the Indemnitee shall be entitled, in the event of the Company’s breach or threatened breach of its covenants and obligations hereunder, to obtain equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, including enforcement of each provision of this Agreement by specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and/or permanent injunctions enforcing any of the Indemnitee’s rights, requiring performance by the Company, or enjoining any breach by the Company, all without proof of any actual damages that have been or may be caused to the Indemnitee by such breach or threatened breach and without the posting of bond or other security in connection therewith.  The Company waives the claim or defense therein that the Indemnitee has an adequate remedy at law, and the Company shall not allege or otherwise assert the legal position that any such remedy at law exists.  The Company agrees and acknowledges that:  (i) the terms of this Section 27(c) are fair, reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Indemnitee; (ii) this waiver is a material inducement to the Indemnitee to enter into the transactions contemplated hereby; and (iii) the Indemnitee relied upon this waiver in entering into this Agreement and will continue to rely on this waiver in its future dealings with the Company.  The Company represents and warrants that it has reviewed this provision with its legal counsel, and that it has knowingly and voluntarily waived its rights referenced in this Section 27 following consultation with such legal counsel.
28.    Nondisclosure of Payments.  Except as expressly required by Federal securities laws, the Company shall not disclose any payments under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee.  Any payments to the Indemnitee that must be disclosed shall, unless otherwise required by law, be described only in the Company proxy or information statements relating to special and/or annual meetings of the Company’s shareholders, and the Company shall afford the Indemnitee a reasonable opportunity to review all such disclosures and, if requested by the Indemnitee, to explain in such statement any mitigating circumstances regarding the events reported.
29.    Notice by the Indemnitee; Notice to Insurers.  
(a)    The Indemnitee agrees to promptly notify the Company in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of Expenses covered hereunder; provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnitee to timely provide such notice shall not affect the Indemnitee’s right to be indemnified or to receive adjustment of Expenses under this Agreement except if, and then only to the extent that, the Company is actually prejudiced by such failure.
(b)    If, at the time of the receipt by the Company of a notice of a Proceeding pursuant to Section 29(a) above, the Company has insurance in effect which may cover such Proceeding, the Company shall give prompt notice of 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 policies.

No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement or any provision hereof shall limit or restrict in any way any right of the Indemnitee under this Agreement with respect to any action taken or omitted by the Indemnitee in his Corporate Status prior to such supplement, modification or amendment.  No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement or any provision hereof shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the Company and the Indemnitee.  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a wavier of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.
32.    Headings.  The headings of the Sections or paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.
33.    Gender.  Use of the masculine pronoun in this Agreement shall be deemed to include usage of the feminine pronoun where appropriate.
34.    Identical Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (whether by original, photocopy or facsimile signature), each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.
