Exhibit 10.7

 

SEPARATION AGREEMENT

 

This is a SEPARATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of December 5, 2011, between MICHAEL O. SANDERSON (“Executive”) and BONDS.COM GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (“the Company”).

 

Executive was employed by the Company.  The Company and the Executive have agreed to end their relationship on terms that are mutually agreeable.

 

Executive and the Company agree that Executive’s separation from the Company is effective as of his last day of work, December 29, 2011 (the “Separation Date”).  Executive will be paid his normal salary through the Separation Date, less all legally required deductions.

 

The Company will provide Executive with financial benefits and other consideration in return for Executive’s execution of this Agreement and the release Executive is providing under this Agreement.

 

Accordingly, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth below, the Company and the Executive agree as follows:

 

1. Recitals.  The parties agree that the above Recitals are true and correct and are incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

 

2. Severance Compensation and Benefits.  The Company shall pay to Executive severance at the rate of $200,000 per annum (his current base salary) for eighteen months (“the Severance Period”)  for a total gross amount of $300,000.00 (less ordinary payroll deductions) (“the Severance Compensation”).  Additionally, the Company shall reimburse Executive’s COBRA premiums for continued health insurance coverage for the Executive and his dependents through the end of the Severance Period (such reimbursement to be made promptly upon Executive’s submission of proof of payment by the Executive) or until such earlier date as Executive is eligible for substantially similar health insurance benefits from a subsequent employer, but only if providing such benefit is permitted under applicable law and does not result in excise taxes, fines or penalties for the Company or the Company’s group health insurance plan (collectively with the Severance Compensation, the “Severance Payments”).  The parties acknowledge and agree that this is the severance employee is otherwise entitled to pursuant to Sections 4(b)(i) and (iv) of the Prior Employment Agreement (as defined below). The Severance Compensation will be paid on a periodic basis over the Severance Period in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices in effect as of the Separation Date.  Payment of the Severance Compensation will not commence until the first available payroll date after the Revocation Period referenced in Section 6 of this Agreement has expired, will be distributed by Company check mailed to Executive’s address (as noted in Section 19 of this Agreement), and payment of the Severance Payments are contingent upon Executive’s satisfactorily performing his obligations under this Agreement.  Specifically, if Executive has not satisfactorily performed all of his obligations under this Agreement, then Executive will not be entitled to any Severance Payments and the Company shall not pay the Severance Payments; or, if such Severance Payment has already been paid, Executive shall be required to reimburse the Company in the full amounts paid.

3. Return of All Company Property.  No later than seven (7) days after the Separation Date, Executive shall return in good condition to the Company all property of the Company that has yet to be returned that was or is in his possession or under his control, but Executive shall be permitted to keep his laptop.  In addition, Executive shall return to the Company on a computer disk any electronically stored confidential information that is the property of the Company, including but not limited to any data and files Executive has stored on his home or other computer or on a portable storage device; Executive shall also permanently and completely delete and remove such electronically stored information from wherever it is stored and provide written verification of doing so.

 

4. Miscellaneous.

 

4.1. Effective as of the Separation Date, Executive agrees that he shall have no authority to and shall not enter or attempt to enter into any agreements with third-parties on behalf of or purportedly on behalf of the Company.  Executive shall also not represent himself as being employed by or associated with the Company.  Executive further understands and agrees that he will receive no further compensation or benefits as a Company employee or otherwise due to him under his Prior Employment Agreement (as defined below).

 

4.2. Executive shall refrain from making any disparaging statements, written or oral, in any forum or media, regarding the Company or its executives, managers, directors, officers, employees, shareholders, affiliates, policies, products, processes, operations, or facilities.

 

4.3. From the Separation Date to the expiration of the Severance Period, Executive shall make himself available to the extent reasonably requested by the Company for the purpose of transitioning his duties, responsibilities, and any tasks or projects in which he was involved during his employment. Such services will be performed solely in a consultant, independent contractor capacity.  The Company will not be required to pay Executive for any such work performed, but shall pay all necessary and reasonable travel and lodging expenses associated with such work.  All reimbursements made in conjunction with the foregoing are subject to Executive timely providing adequate written proof of expenses and time (as applicable) spent.

 

4.4. Before and after the Separation Date, Executive shall cooperate with the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates in any internal investigation, any administrative, regulatory or judicial investigation or proceeding or any dispute with a third party as reasonably requested by the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates (including, without limitation, Executive being available to the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates upon reasonable notice for interviews and factual investigations, appearing at the Company’s, any Subsidiary’s or any of their respective Affiliates’ request to give testimony without requiring service of a subpoena or other legal process, volunteering to the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates all pertinent information and turning over to the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates all relevant documents which are or may come into Executive’s possession, all at times and on schedules that are reasonably consistent with Executive’s other permitted activities and commitments).  In the event the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates require Executive’s cooperation in accordance with this Section following the Separation Date, the Company shall pay Executive a per diem reasonably determined by the Board and reimburse Executive for reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith (including lodging and meals, upon submission of receipts).

Exhibit 10.8

 

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

This Indemnification Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into as of the [●] day of December 2011 by and between Bonds.com Group, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [●] (“Indemnitee”).

 

RECITALS

WHEREAS, highly competent persons have become more reluctant to serve corporations as directors or in other capacities unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance and indemnification against risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of the corporation.

 

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that, in order to attract and retain qualified individuals, the Company will attempt to maintain on an ongoing basis, at its sole expense, liability insurance to protect persons serving the Company and its subsidiaries from certain liabilities.  Although the furnishing of such insurance has been a customary and widespread practice among United States-based corporations and other business enterprises, the Company believes that, given current market conditions and trends, such insurance may be available to it in the future only at higher premiums and with more exclusions.  At the same time, directors, officers, and other persons in service to corporations or business enterprises are being increasingly subjected to expensive and time-consuming litigation relating to, among other things, matters that traditionally would have been brought only against the Company or business enterprise itself.

 

WHEREAS, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company provide that the Company shall indemnify and advance expenses to all directors and officers of the Company in the manner set forth therein and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation provides for limitation of liability for directors.  In addition, Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”).  The Certificate of Incorporation and the DGCL expressly provide that the indemnification provisions set forth therein are not exclusive, and thereby contemplate that contracts may be entered into between the Company and members of the Board, officers and other persons with respect to indemnification.

 

WHEREAS, the uncertainties relating to such insurance and to indemnification have increased the difficulty of attracting and retaining such persons.

 

WHEREAS, Indemnitee is concerned that the protection available under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and insurance may not be adequate, and may not be willing to continue to serve as an officer or director of the Company without greater certainty concerning such protection, and the Company desires Indemnitee to serve in such capacity and is willing to provide such greater certainty.

 

WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified.

 

  

 

  

 

WHEREAS, this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder.

 

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that the increased difficulty in attracting and retaining such persons is detrimental to the best interests of the Company’s stockholders and that the Company should act to assure such persons that there will be increased certainty of such protection in the future.

 

WHEREAS, Indemnitee is affiliated with [●] (“Investor”), and has agreed to serve as a director of the Company in connection with Investor’s investment in the Company.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

1. Indemnification.

1.1 Indemnification of Expenses.  The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law if Indemnitee was or is or becomes a party to or witness or other participant in, or is threatened to be made a party to or witness or other participant in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, proceeding or alternative dispute resolution mechanism, or any hearing, inquiry or investigation that Indemnitee in good faith believes might lead to the institution of any such action, suit, proceeding or alternative dispute resolution mechanism, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other (hereinafter a “Claim”) by reason of (or arising in part out of) any event or occurrence related to the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee, consultant, agent or fiduciary of the Company, or any subsidiary of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee while serving in such capacity (hereinafter an “Indemnifiable Event”) against any and all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other costs, expenses and obligations incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend, be a witness in or participate in, any such action, suit, proceeding, alternative dispute resolution mechanism, hearing, inquiry or investigation), judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) of such Claim and any federal, state, local or foreign taxes imposed on Indemnitee as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under this Agreement (collectively, hereinafter “Expenses”), including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses.  Such payment of Expenses shall be made by the Company as soon as practicable but in any event no later than fifteen (15) days after written demand by Indemnitee therefor is presented to the Company, unless a determination is made by the Reviewing Party (as defined in Section 9.5 hereof) within said fifteen (15) day period that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under applicable law.

1.2 Reviewing Party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the obligations of the Company under Section 1.1 shall be subject to the condition that the Reviewing Party shall not have determined (in a written opinion, in any case in which the Independent Legal Counsel referred to in Section 1.3 hereof is involved) that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law (i.e. the Reviewing Party shall have determined that Indemnitee has met the applicable standards set forth in Section 145(a) and (b) of the DGCL), and (ii) the obligation of the Company to make an advance payment of Expenses to Indemnitee pursuant to Section 2.1 (an “Expense Advance”) shall be subject to the condition that, if, when and to the extent that the Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be so indemnified under applicable law, the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed by Indemnitee (who hereby agrees to reimburse the Company) for all such amounts theretofore paid; provided, however, that if Indemnitee has commenced or thereafter commences legal proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to secure a determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable law, any determination made by the Reviewing Party that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law shall not be binding and Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any Expense Advance until a final judicial determination is made with respect thereto (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed).  Indemnitee’s obligation to reimburse the Company for any Expense Advance shall be unsecured and no interest shall be charged thereon.  If there has not been a Change in Control (as defined in Section 9.3 hereof), the Reviewing Party shall be selected by the Board, and if there has been such a Change in Control, the Reviewing Party shall be the Independent Legal Counsel referred to in Section 1.3 hereof.  If there has been no determination by the Reviewing Party or if the Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee substantively would not be permitted to be indemnified in whole or in part under applicable law, Indemnitee shall have the right to commence litigation seeking an initial determination by the court or challenging any such determination by the Reviewing Party or any aspect thereof, including the legal or factual bases therefor, and the Company hereby consents to service of process and to appear in any such proceeding.  Any determination by the Reviewing Party otherwise shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and Indemnitee.

1.3 Change in Control.  The Company agrees that if there is a Change in Control of the Company then, with respect to all matters thereafter arising concerning the rights of Indemnitees to payments of Expenses and Expense Advances under this Agreement or any other agreement or under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws as now or hereafter in effect, Independent Legal Counsel (as defined in Section 9.4 hereof) shall be selected by the Indemnitee and approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld).  Such counsel, among other things, shall render its written opinion to the Company and Indemnitee as to whether and to what extent Indemnitee would be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law and, subject to the  other provisions hereof, the Company and Indemnitee agree to abide by such opinion.  The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Legal Counsel referred to above and to fully indemnify such counsel against any and all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agree­ment or its engagement pursuant hereto.

1.4 Mandatory Payment of Expenses.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement other than Section 8 hereof, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise, including, without limitation, the dismissal of an action without prejudice, in defense of any action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation referred to in Section 1.1 hereof or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection therewith, but only to the extent permitted to be so indemnified under applicable law (i.e. only to the extent such Expenses or portions thereof are indemnifiable pursuant to the applicable provisions of Section 145(a) or (b) of the DGCL or successor provisions).

2. Expenses; Indemnification Procedure.

2.1 Advancement of Expenses.  The Company shall advance all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee.  The advances to be made hereunder shall be paid by the Company to Indemnitee as soon as practicable but in any event no later than fifteen (15) days after written demand by Indemnitee therefor to the Company.  If the Company makes an advance of Expenses pursuant to this Section 2.1, the Company shall be subrogated to every right of recovery that Indemnitee may have against any insurance carrier from whom the Company (as opposed to any other person or entity) has purchased insurance for such purpose.

2.2 Notice/Cooperation by Indemnitee.  Indemnitee shall, as a condition precedent to Indemnitee’s right to be indemnified under this Agreement, give the Company notice in writing as soon as practicable of any Claim made against Indemnitee for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement.  Notice to the Company shall be made in accordance with Section 13.  In addition, Indemnitee shall promptly give the Company such information and cooperation as it may reasonably require and as shall be within Indemnitee’s power.  The failure of Indemnitee to give such notice, or to provide such information or cooperation, shall not affect Indemnitee’s rights to indemnification under this Agreement, or the Company’s obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Company is materially prejudiced thereby.

2.3 No Presumptions; Burden of Proof.  For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any Claim by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by applicable law.  In addition, neither the failure of the Reviewing Party to have made a determination as to whether Indemnitee has met any particular standard of conduct or had any particular belief, nor an actual determination by the Reviewing Party that Indemnitee has not met such standard of conduct or did not have such belief, prior to the commencement of legal proceedings by Indemnitee to secure a judicial determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable law, shall be a defense to Indemnitee’s claim or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met any particular standard of conduct or did not have any particular belief.  In connection with any determination by the Reviewing Party or otherwise as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified hereunder, the burden of proof shall be on the Company to establish that Indemnitee is not so entitled.

2.4 Notice to Insurers.  If, at the time of the receipt by the Company of a notice of a Claim pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, the Company has liability insurance in effect which may cover such Claim, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such Claim to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies.  The Company shall thereafter take all reasonably necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation in accordance with the terms of such policies.

2.5 Selection of Counsel.  In the event the Company shall be obligated hereunder to pay the Expenses of any Claim, the Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Claim with counsel approved by Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election so to do.  After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subse­quently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same Claim; provided that, (i) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ Indemnitee’s counsel in any such Claim at Indemnitee’s expense and (ii) if (A) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, (B) Indemnitee shall have reason­ably concluded that there is a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense, or (C) the Company shall not continue to retain such counsel to defend such Claim, then the fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Company.  The Company shall have the right to conduct such defense as it sees fit in its sole discretion; provided, however, that the Company shall not be entitled to settle any claim against Indemnitee without the consent of the Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless the settlement involves only the payment of monetary relief for which the Indemnitee will be indemnified and does not include a statement or an admission of fault or culpability by or on behalf of the Indemnitee.

3. Additional Indemnification Rights; Nonexclusivity.

3.1 Scope.  The Company hereby agrees to indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law, notwithstanding that such indemnification is not specifically authorized by the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or the Company’s Bylaws.  In the event of any change after the date of this Agreement in any applicable law, statute or rule which expands the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its Board or an officer, employee, agent or fiduciary, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits afforded by such change.  In the event of any change in any applicable law, statute or rule which narrows the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its Board or an officer, employee, agent or fiduciary, such change, to the extent not otherwise required by such law, statute or rule to be applied to this Agreement, shall have no effect on this Agreement or the parties’ rights and obligations hereunder except as set forth in Section 8.1 hereof.

 

  

5

  

3.2 Nonexclusivity.  The indemnification provided by this Agreement shall be in addition to any rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, its Bylaws, any agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, the DGCL, or otherwise.  The indemnification provided under this Agreement shall continue as to Indemnitee for any action Indemnitee took or did not take while serving in an indemnified capacity even though Indemnitee may have ceased to serve in such capacity.

4. No Duplication of Payments.  The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment in connection with any Claim made against Indemnitee to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment (under any insurance policy, Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaw or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder.  The Company acknowledges and agrees that although under certain circumstances Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification and expense advancement and/or reimbursement from Investor and/or Investor’s affiliates (collectively, “Investor Related Parties”) in connection with Claims made against Indemnitee, the obligations of the Company hereunder and/or under the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or other organizational documents of the Company with respect to any Claim by the Indemnitee are primary to any obligations of any Investor Related Party with respect thereto and Indemnitee will not be obligated to seek indemnification from or expense advancement or reimbursement by any Investor Related Party with respect to any Claim.  In addition, (i) the Company, on behalf of itself and any insurers providing liability insurance as provided in Section 7 hereof, hereby waives any rights of contribution or subrogation or any other right from or against each and every Investor Related Party and every insurer providing liability insurance to Investor Related Parties and/or Indemnitee with respect to any Claim, and (ii) the Company acknowledges and agrees that if any Investor Related Party provides indemnification, expense advancement, expense reimbursement or otherwise to Indemnitee with respect to any liabilities, such Investor Related Party(ies) shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all rights of recovery of Indemnitee under this Agreement or the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or other organization documents of the Company, as applicable.  Each of Investor Related Parties is an intended third party beneficiary of this Agreement and the Company agrees to take such further action as may be requested by Indemnitee or any Investor Related Party to effectuate the contractual arrangement between the Company and the Indemnitee and Investor Related Parties as set forth herein.

5. Partial Indemnification.  If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of Expenses incurred in connection with any Claim, but not, however, for all of the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses to which Indemnitee is entitled.

6. Mutual Acknowledgement.  Both the Company and Indemnitee acknowledge that in certain instances, federal law or applicable public policy may prohibit the Company from indemnifying its directors, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries under this Agreement or otherwise.  Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the Company has undertaken or may be required in the future to undertake with the Securities and Exchange Commission to submit the question of indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a determination of the Company’s right under public policy to indemnify Indemnitee; provided, however, that such determination shall in no event affect Indemnitee’s right to recovery under any insurance policy contemplated by Section 7 hereof.

 

  

6

  

7. Liability Insurance.  To the extent the Company maintains liability insurance applicable to directors, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policies in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably insured of the Company’s directors, if Indemnitee is a director; or of the Company’s officers, if Indemnitee is not a director of the Company but is an officer; or of the Company’s key employees, agents or fiduciaries, if Indemnitee is not an officer or director but is a key employee, agent or fiduciary.

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

8.1 Excluded Action or Omissions.  To indemnify Indemnitee for Indemnitee’s acts, omissions or transactions from which Indemnitee or the Indemnitee may not be relieved of liability under applicable law;

8.2 Claims Initiated by Indemnitee.  To indemnify or advance expenses to Indemnitee with respect to Claims initiated or brought voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by way of defense, except (i) with respect to actions or proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under this Agreement or any other agreement or insurance policy or under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws now or hereafter in effect relating to Claims for Indemnifiable Events, (ii) in specific cases if the Board has approved the initiation or bringing of such Claim, or (iii) as otherwise required under Section 145 of the DGCL, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advance expense payment or insurance recovery, as the case may be;

8.3 Lack of Good Faith.  To indemnify Indemnitee for any expenses incurred by Indemnitee with respect to any proceeding instituted by Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final, non-appealable ruling that each of the material assertions made by Indemnitee in such proceeding was not made in good faith or was frivolous;

8.4 Claims Under Section 16(b).  To indemnify Indemnitee for expenses and the payment of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or any similar successor statute;

8.5 Proceeding by or in the Right of the Company.  To indemnify for judgments, fines and penalties incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of any Claim by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor (except to the extent indemnification is permitted under Section 145(b) of the DGCL);

8.6 Fraudulent Conduct.  To indemnify Indemnitee for any Expenses, judgments, fines or penalties resulting from Indemnitee’s conduct which is adjudged in a final, non-appealable ruling to have been willful misconduct, knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest; or

 

  

7

  

8.7 Unlawful Payment.  If a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final, non-appealable ruling that such payment hereunder is unlawful.

9. Construction of Certain Phrases.

9.1 Company.  References to “Company” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries, so that if Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other enterprise, Indemnitee shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as Indemnitee would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

9.2 Other Enterprises.  References to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Company” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or its beneficiaries; and if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Company” as referred to in this Agreement.

9.3 Change in Control.  A “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if:

(i) any person other than Investor or its affiliates becomes the “beneficial owner” (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power of the Company’s then-outstanding voting securities;

(ii) during any period of two (2) consecutive years, individuals who, at the beginning of such period constitute the Board, together with any new director whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then in office, either who were directors at the beginning of the two-year period, or whose election or nomination was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board;

 

  

8

  

 

(iii) the stockholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other Company, other than a merger or consolidation that would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately before such merger or consolidation continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, with the holders of voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately before such merger or consolidation continuing immediately after the merger or consolidation to hold voting securities in substantially the same proportion as they owned prior to such merger or consolidation; or

(iv) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company, or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company (whether in one transaction or a series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

9.4 Independent Legal Counsel.  “Independent Legal Counsel” shall mean an attorney or firm of attorneys, selected in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.3 hereof, who shall not have otherwise performed services for the Company or Indemnitee within the last three years (other than with respect to matters concerning the rights of Indemnitee under this Agreement, or of other indemnitees under similar indemnity agreements).

9.5 Reviewing Party.  A “Reviewing Party” shall mean any appropriate person or body consisting of a member or members of the Board or any other person or body appointed by the Board who is not a party to the particular Claim for which Indemnitee is seeking indemnification, or Independent Legal Counsel.

10. Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original.

11. Binding Effect; Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, spouses, heirs, and personal and legal representatives.  The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially all, or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.  This Agreement shall continue in effect with respect to Claims relating to Indemnifiable Events regardless of whether Indemnitee continues to serve as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company or of any other enterprise at the Company’s request.

12. Attorneys’ Fees.  In the event that any action is instituted by Indemnitee under this Agreement or under any liability insurance policies maintained by the Company to enforce or interpret any of the terms hereof or thereof, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee with respect to such action, and shall be entitled to the advancement of Expenses with respect to such action, unless, as a part of such action, a court of competent jurisdiction over such action determines in a final, non-appealable ruling that each of the material assertions made by Indemnitee as a basis for such action was not made in good faith or was frivolous.  In the event of an action instituted by or in the name of the Company under this Agreement to enforce or interpret any of the terms of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in defense of such action (including costs and expenses incurred with respect to Indemnitee counterclaims and cross-claims made in such action), and shall be entitled to the advancement of Expenses with respect to such action, unless, as a part of such action, a court having jurisdiction over such action determines in a final, non-appealable ruling that each of Indemnitee material defenses to such action was made in bad faith or was frivolous.

13. Notice.  All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing, shall be effective when given, and shall in any event be deemed to be given (a) five (5) days after deposit with the U.S. Postal Service or other applicable postal service, if delivered by first class mail, postage prepaid, (b) upon delivery, if delivered by hand, (c) one business day after the business day of deposit with FedEx or similar overnight courier, freight prepaid, or (d) one day after the business day of delivery by facsimile transmission, if delivered by facsimile transmission, with copy by first class mail, postage prepaid, and shall be addressed if to Indemnitee, at the Indemnitee address as set forth beneath Indemnitee’s  signature to this Agreement and if to the Company at the address of its principal corporate offices (attention:  Secretary) or at such other address as such party may designate by ten (10) days’ advance written notice to the other party hereto.

14. Consent to Jurisdiction.  The Company and Indemnitee each hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of Delaware for all purposes in connection with any action or proceeding which arises out of or relates to this Agreement.

15. Severability.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable in the event that any of the provisions hereof (including any provision within a single section, paragraph or sentence) are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, and the remaining provisions shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.  Furthermore, to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitations, each portion of this Agreement containing any provision held to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, void or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

16. Choice of Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and its provisions construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, as applied to contracts between Delaware residents, entered into and to be performed entirely within the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

17. Subrogation.  In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee who shall execute all documents required and shall do all acts that may be necessary to secure such rights and to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights; provided, however, that the Company expressly waives any rights of contribution or subrogation with respect to any rights of recovery of Indemnitee against any Investor Related Party or any insurer providing liability insurance in respect of or in support of any such obligations of an Investor Related Party.

18. Amendment and Termination.  No amendment, modification, termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing signed by both the parties hereto.  No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

19. Integration and Entire Agreement.  This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes and merges all previous written and oral negotiations, commitments, understandings and agreements relating to the subject matter hereof between the parties hereto.

20. No Construction as Employment Agreement.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as giving Indemnitee any right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
