Exhibit 10.1

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

     THIS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into this ___ day of                     ,
20___between Nuance Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“the Company”) and
                                         (“Indemnitee”).

WITNESSETH THAT:

     WHEREAS, Indemnitee performs a valuable service for the Company; and

     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company have adopted Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) providing
for the indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company to the maximum extent
authorized by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (“Law”); and

     WHEREAS, the Bylaws and the Law, by their nonexclusive nature, permit contracts between the
Company and the officers and directors of the Company with respect to indemnification of such
officers and directors; and

     WHEREAS, in accordance with the authorization as provided by the Law, the Company may purchase
and maintain a policy or policies of director’s and officer’s liability insurance (“D & O
Insurance”), covering certain liabilities which may be incurred by its officers or directors in the
performance of their obligations to the Company; and

     WHEREAS, in recognition of past services and in order to induce Indemnitee to continue to
serve as an officer or director of the Company, the Company has determined and agreed to enter into
this contract with Indemnitee;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Indemnitee’s continued service as an officer or director
after the date hereof, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1. Indemnity of Indemnitee. The Company hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify
Indemnitee to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by the provisions of the Law, as such may
be amended from time to time, and Article VII, Section 6 of the Bylaws, as such may be amended. In
furtherance of the foregoing indemnification, and without limiting the generality thereof:

     (a) Proceedings Other Than Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section 1(a) 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 Proceeding (as hereinafter defined) other than a Proceeding by or in
the right of the Company. Pursuant to this Section 1(a), Indemnitee shall be indemnified against
all Expenses (as hereinafter defined), judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement
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

-1-

 

believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any
criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

     (b) Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled to
the rights of indemnification provided in this Section 1(b) if, by reason of his Corporate Status,
he is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding brought by or in
the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 1(b),
Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all 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; provided,
however, that, if applicable law so provides, no indemnification against such Expenses shall be
made in respect of any claim, issue or matter in such Proceeding as to which Indemnitee shall have
been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and to the extent that the Court of Chancery of
the State of Delaware shall determine that such indemnification may be made.

     (c) Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by
reason of his Corporate Status, a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any
Proceeding, he shall be indemnified to the maximum extent permitted by law against all Expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is
not wholly successful in such 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
Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in
connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of this Section
and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by
dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim,
issue or matter.

     2. Additional Indemnity. In addition to, and without regard to any limitations on,
the indemnification provided for in Section 1, the Company shall and hereby does indemnify and hold
harmless Indemnitee against all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf if, by reason of his Corporate
Status he is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding (including a
Proceeding by or in the right of the Company), including, without limitation, all liability arising
out of the negligence or active or passive wrongdoing of Indemnitee. The only limitation that
shall exist upon the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement shall be that the Company
shall not be obligated to make any payment to Indemnitee that is finally determined (under the
procedures, and subject to the presumptions, set forth in Sections 6 and 7 hereof) to be unlawful
under Delaware law.

     3. Contribution in the Event of Joint Liability.

     (a) Whether or not the indemnification provided in Sections 1 and 2 hereof is available, in
respect of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding in which Company is
jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), Company
shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount of any judgment or settlement of such action,
suit or proceeding without requiring Indemnitee to contribute to such

-2-

 

payment and Company hereby waives and relinquishes any right of contribution it may have
against Indemnitee. Company shall not enter into any settlement of any action, suit or proceeding
in which Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or
proceeding) unless such settlement provides for a full and final release of all claims asserted
against Indemnitee.

     (b) Without diminishing or impairing the obligations of the Company set forth in the preceding
subparagraph, if, for any reason, Indemnitee shall elect or be required to pay all or any portion
of any judgment or settlement in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding in
which Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or
proceeding), Company shall contribute to the amount of expenses (including attorneys’ fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred and paid or
payable by Indemnitee in proportion to the relative benefits received by the Company and all
officers, directors or employees of the Company other than Indemnitee who are jointly liable with
Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), on the one hand, and
Indemnitee, on the other hand, from the transaction from which such action, suit or proceeding
arose; provided, however, that the proportion determined on the basis of relative benefit may, to
the extent necessary to conform to law, be further adjusted by reference to the relative fault of
Company and all officers, directors or employees of the Company other than Indemnitee who are
jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), on the
one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, in connection with the events that resulted in such
expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts, as well as any other equitable considerations
which the law may require to be considered. The relative fault of Company and all officers,
directors or employees of the Company other than Indemnitee who are jointly liable with Indemnitee
(or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the
other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the degree to which their
actions were motivated by intent to gain personal profit or advantage, the degree to which their
liability is primary or secondary, and the degree to which their conduct is active or passive.

     (c) Company hereby agrees to fully indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless from any claims of
contribution which may be brought by officers, directors or employees of the Company other than
Indemnitee who may be jointly liable with Indemnitee.

     4. Indemnification for Expenses of a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his Corporate Status, a witness in
any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, he shall be indemnified against all Expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith.

     5. Advancement of Expenses. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
the Company shall advance all reasonable Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in
connection with any Proceeding by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status within ten days after the
receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or
advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such
statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall
include or be preceded or accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay any
Expenses advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that

-3-

 

Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses. Any advances and
undertakings to repay pursuant to this Section 5 shall be unsecured and interest free.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation of the Company to advance Expenses pursuant to this
Section 5 shall be subject to the condition that, if, when and to the extent that the Company
determines that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law, the
Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed, within thirty (30) days of such determination, 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 Company 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 advance of Expenses until a final judicial determination is made with
respect thereto (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed).

     6. Procedures and Presumptions for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification.
It is the intent of this Agreement to secure for Indemnitee rights of indemnity that are as
favorable as may be permitted under the law and public policy of the State of Delaware.
Accordingly, the parties agree that the following procedures and presumptions shall apply in the
event of any question as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement:

     (a) To obtain indemnification (including, but not limited to, the advancement of Expenses and
contribution by the Company) under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written
request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably
available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent
Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon
receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board of Directors in writing that
Indemnitee has requested indemnification.

     (b) Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of
Section 6(a) hereof, a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee’s
entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case by one of the following three methods, which
shall be at the election of Indemnitee: (1) by a majority vote of the disinterested directors, even
though less than a quorum, or (2) by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the
stockholders.

     (c) If the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent
Counsel pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in
this Section 6(c). The Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee
shall request that such selection be made by the Board of Directors). Indemnitee or the Company,
as the case may be, may, within 10 days after such written notice of selection shall have been
given, deliver to the Company or to Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such
selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the
Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined
in Section 14 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual
basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection,

-4-

 

the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If a written objection is made and
substantiated, the Independent Counsel selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and
until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit.
If, within 20 days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant
to Section 6(a) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either
the Company or Indemnitee may petition the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or other
court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the
Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as
Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall
designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so
appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 6(b) hereof. 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 6(b) hereof, and the Company shall pay all reasonable
fees and expenses incident to the procedures of this Section 6(c), regardless of the manner in
which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed.

     (d) In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the
person or persons or entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in
accordance with Section 6(a) of this Agreement. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall
have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion, by clear and convincing evidence.

     (e) Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on
the records or books of account of the Enterprise, including financial statements, or on
information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of the Enterprise in the course of their duties,
or on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise or on information or records given or reports
made to the Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other
expert selected with reasonable care by the Enterprise. In addition, the knowledge and/or actions,
or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Enterprise shall not be
imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this
Agreement. Whether or not the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(e) are satisfied, it shall in
any event be presumed that Indemnitee has at all times acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. Anyone seeking
to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion, by clear
and convincing evidence.

     (f) The Company acknowledges that a settlement or other disposition short of final judgment
may be successful if it permits a party to avoid expense, delay, distraction, disruption and
uncertainty. In the event that any action, claim or proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party is
resolved in any manner other than by adverse judgment against Indemnitee (including, without
limitation, settlement of such action, claim or proceeding with or without payment of money or
other consideration) it shall be presumed that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in such action, suit or proceeding. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall
have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion, by clear and convincing evidence.

-5-

 

     (g) If the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 6 to determine
whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a determination within thirty
(30) days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor, the requisite determination of
entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled
to such indemnification, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission
of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in
connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification
under applicable law; provided, however, that such 30 day period may be extended for a reasonable
time, not to exceed an additional fifteen (15) days, if the person, persons or entity making the
determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires such additional
time for the obtaining or evaluating documentation and/or information relating thereto; and
provided, further, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(g) shall not apply if the
determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by the stockholders pursuant to
Section 6(b) of this Agreement and if (A) within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Company of
the request for such determination the Board of Directors or the Disinterested Directors, if
appropriate, resolve to submit such determination to the stockholders for their consideration at an
annual meeting thereof to be held within seventy five (75) days after such receipt and such
determination is made thereat, or (B) a special meeting of stockholders is called within fifteen
(15) days after such receipt for the purpose of making such determination, such meeting is held for
such purpose within sixty (60) days after having been so called and such determination is made
thereat.

     (h) Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination
with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person,
persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not
privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee
and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any Independent Counsel, member of the Board of
Directors, or stockholder of the Company shall act reasonably and in good faith in making a
determination under the Agreement of the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification. Any costs or
expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating
with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company
(irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the
Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.

     7. Remedies of Indemnitee.

     (a) In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement that
Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is
not timely made pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to
indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement within 90 days
after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is
not made pursuant to this Agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a written
request therefor, or (v) payment of indemnification is not made within ten (10) days after a
determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or such determination is
deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to
an adjudication in an appropriate court of the State of

-6-

 

Delaware, or in any other court of competent jurisdiction, of his entitlement to such
indemnification. Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding seeking an adjudication within 180 days
following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to
this Section 7(a). The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication.

     (b) In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 6(b) of this
Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding commenced
pursuant to this Section 7 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, on the merits and
Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination.

     (c) If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement that
Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any
judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 7, absent a prohibition of such
indemnification under applicable law.

     (d) In the event that Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 7, seeks a judicial adjudication of
his rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, or to recover under any
directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company the Company shall
pay on his behalf, in advance, any and all expenses (of the types described in the definition of
Expenses in Section 16 of this Agreement) actually and reasonably incurred by him in such judicial
adjudication, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such
indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance recovery.

     (e) The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced
pursuant to this Section 7 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid,
binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court that the Company is bound by all the
provisions of this Agreement.

     8. Non-Exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance; Subrogation.

     (a) The rights of indemnification as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive
of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the
certificate of incorporation of the Company, the Bylaws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or a
resolution of directors, or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of
any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in
respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his Corporate Status prior to such
amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in the Law, whether by statute or
judicial decision, permits greater indemnification than would be afforded currently under the
Bylaws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by
this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. In the event of any change in the
Law, whether by statute or judicial decision, that narrows the right of a Delaware corporation to
indemnify a member of its Board of Directors or an officer, employee, agent or fiduciary, such
change, to the extent not otherwise required by such statute or judicial decision to be applied to
this Agreement, shall have no effect on this Agreement or the Indemnitee’s rights and obligations
hereunder. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or
remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be

-7-

 

cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other
right or remedy.

     (b) To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing
liability insurance for directors, officers, employees, or agents or fiduciaries of the Company or
of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise which such person serves at the request of the Company, Indemnitee shall be covered by
such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage
available for any such director, officer, employee or agent under such policy or policies.

     (c) 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 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.

     (d) The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts
otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually
received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

     9. Exception to Right of Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement with respect to
any Proceeding brought by Indemnitee, or any claim therein, unless (a) the bringing of such
Proceeding or making of such claim shall have been approved by the Board of Directors or (b) such
Proceeding is being brought by the Indemnitee to assert his rights under this Agreement.

     10. Duration of Agreement. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained
herein shall continue during the period Indemnitee is an officer or director of the Company (or is
or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) and shall continue thereafter
so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any Proceeding (or any proceeding commenced under Section
7 hereof) by reason of his Corporate Status, whether or not he is acting or serving in any 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. This Agreement shall continue in effect regardless of whether Indemnitee
continues to serve as an officer or director of the Company or any other enterprise at the
Company’s request.

     11. Security. To the extent requested by the Indemnitee and approved by the Board of
Directors, the Company may at any time and from time to time provide security to the Indemnitee for
the Company’s obligations hereunder through an irrevocable bank line of credit,

-8-

 

funded trust or other collateral. Any such security, once provided to the Indemnitee, may not
be revoked or released without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee.

     12. Enforcement.

     (a) The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and
assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as an officer
or director of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this
Agreement in serving as an officer or director of the Company.

     (b) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to
the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and
implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

     13. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:

     (a) “Corporate Status” describes the status of a person who is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent or fiduciary of the Company or of any other corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which such person is or was serving at
the express request of the Company.

     (b) “Disinterested Director” means a director of the Company who is not and was not a party to
the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought by Indemnitee.

     (c) “Enterprise” shall mean the Company and any other corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which Indemnitee is or was serving at the
express written request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary.

     (d) “Expenses” shall include all reasonable attorneys’ fees, retainers, court costs,
transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and
binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, and all other disbursements or
expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to
prosecute or defend, investigating, participating, or being or preparing to be a witness in a
Proceeding.

     (e) “Independent Counsel” means a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that is experienced in
matters of corporation law and neither presently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained
to represent: (i) the Company or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party (other than
with respect to matters concerning the Indemnitee under this Agreement, or of other indemnitees
under similar indemnification agreements), or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to
a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent
Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct
then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee
in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees to pay the
reasonable fees of the Independent Counsel referred to above and to fully indemnify such counsel
against any and all Expenses, claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto.

-9-

 

     (f) “Proceeding” includes any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration,
alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing or any other
actual, threatened or completed proceeding, whether brought by or in the right of the Company or
otherwise and whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which Indemnitee was, is
or will be involved as a party or otherwise, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a
director of the Company, by reason of any action taken by him or of any inaction on his part while
acting as an officer or director of the Company, or by reason of the fact that he is or was serving
at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise; in each case whether or not he is acting or
serving in any such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which
indemnification can be provided under this Agreement; including one pending on or before the date
of this Agreement; and excluding one initiated by an Indemnitee pursuant to Section 7 of this
Agreement to enforce his rights under this Agreement.

     14. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, illegal or otherwise 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, that is not itself
invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall
remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; and (b) 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 thereby.

     15. Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification, termination or amendment of
this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No
waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of
any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing
waiver.

     16. Notice by Indemnitee. Indemnitee agrees promptly to 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 covered
hereunder. The failure to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of any obligation
which it may have to the Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise.

     17. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall
be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if (i) delivered by hand and receipted
for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been directed, or (ii)
mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the
date on which it is so mailed:

the shares of common stock of the Company (“Common Shares”) and the shares of preferred stock of

page hereto (the “Existing Shares” and, together with any Common Shares, Preferred Shares or other
voting capital stock of the Company acquired (whether by exercise of Options or otherwise) by the
Stockholder after the date hereof, the “Shares”).

AGREEMENT

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.

VOTING

     1.1 Agreement to Vote. The Stockholder irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that,
from and after the date hereof and until the date on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to
Section 4.2, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, or in
connection with any written consent of the stockholders of the Company, the Stockholder shall:

          (a) appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause the Shares and any other voting securities
of the Company as to which the Stockholder has, directly or indirectly, the right to vote or direct
the voting (together with the Shares, the “Voting Shares”) to be counted as present thereat for
purposes of establishing a quorum; and

          (b) vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, or deliver a written consent (or cause
a consent to be delivered) covering, all the Voting Shares (i) in favor of

 

 

adoption of the Merger Agreement and any other action of the Company’s stockholders reasonably
requested in furtherance thereof (whether or not recommended by the Board of Directors of the
Company), (ii) against any action or agreement submitted for approval of the stockholders of the
Company that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or
warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement or
of the Stockholder contained in this Agreement, and (iii) against any offer, proposal or indication
of interest, from any Person other than Parent or its Subsidiaries, relating to any Competing
Proposed Transaction (an “Acquisition Proposal”), or any other action, agreement or transaction
submitted for approval to the stockholders of the Company that is intended, or could reasonably be
expected, to materially impede, interfere or be inconsistent with, delay, postpone, or adversely
affect the Merger or this Agreement, including: (A) a material change in the policies or
management of the Company; (B) an election of new members to the board of directors of the Company,
except where the vote is cast in favor of the nominees of a majority of the existing directors;
(C) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company or any
amendment or other change to the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, except if
approved by Parent; or (D) any other material change in the Company’s corporate structure or
business.

     1.2 No Inconsistent Agreements. The Stockholder hereby represents, covenants and
agrees that, except for this Agreement, the Stockholder (a) has not entered into, and the
Stockholder shall not enter into at any time while this Agreement remains in effect, any voting
agreement or voting trust with respect to the Voting Shares and (b) has not granted, and the
Stockholder shall not grant at any time while this Agreement remains in effect, a proxy, a consent
or power of attorney with respect to the Voting Shares.

     1.3 Proxy. The Stockholder hereby grants to Parent a proxy to vote the Voting Shares
as indicated in Section 1.1 above if the Stockholder fails for any reason to vote such
Voting Shares in accordance with Section 1.1. The Stockholder hereby appoints Parent, the
executive officers of Parent and any other designee of Parent, and each of them individually, as
the Stockholder’s attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution) to vote the Voting Shares as
indicated in Section 1.1 if the Stockholder fails for any reason to vote such Voting Shares
in accordance with Section 1.1. The Stockholder agrees that such a proxy is coupled with
an interest and irrevocable for so long as this Agreement is in effect, and that the Stockholder
will take such further action or execute such other instruments as Parent may determine is
necessary or reasonably required to effectuate the intent of such proxy and hereby revokes any
proxy previously granted by such Stockholder with respect to the Voting Shares.

ARTICLE II.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE STOCKHOLDER

- 2 -

 

delivery and performance by the Stockholder of this Agreement and the consummation by it of
the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by the Stockholder and
no other actions or proceedings on the part of the Stockholder are necessary to authorize the
execution and delivery by it of this Agreement and the consummation by it of the transactions
contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Stockholder and,
assuming this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Parent, constitutes a valid
and binding obligation of the Stockholder, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms
(except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general equity principles).

          (b) Ownership. The Existing Shares listed on the Stockholder’s signature page hereto
are, and such Existing Shares and any additional Common Shares or Preferred Shares acquired by the
Stockholder after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time will be, owned beneficially and
of record solely by the Stockholder. As of the date hereof, the number of shares of Common Shares
and Preferred Shares owned by the Stockholder is listed on the Stockholder’s signature page hereto.
As of the date hereof, the Existing Shares listed on the Stockholder’s signature page hereto
constitute all of the Common Shares and Preferred Shares held of record or owned by the
Stockholder, and except as indicated thereon, the Stockholder has sole voting power and disposition
power of such Shares. As of the date hereof, the Stockholder’s signature page hereto lists all
Voting Shares for which the Stockholder has voting power, but does not have dispositive power, and
lists the holder of dispositive power thereof. Except as may be specified on the Stockholder’s
signature page hereto, the Stockholder has and will have at all times through the Effective Time
sole voting power, sole power of disposition, sole power to issue instructions with respect to the
matters set forth in Articles I and III, and sole power to agree to all of the
matters set forth in this Agreement, in each case with respect to all of the Voting Shares owned or
for which the Stockholder has the right to vote on the date hereof and with respect to all of the
Voting Shares at the Effective Time, with no limitations, qualifications or restrictions on such
rights, subject to applicable federal and state securities laws and the terms of this Agreement.
Subject to applicable federal and state securities laws and the terms of this Agreement, the
Stockholder has good and marketable title to the Existing Shares listed on the Stockholder’s
signature page hereto, free and clear of any Liens, and the Stockholder will have good and
marketable title to such Existing Shares and any additional Common Shares and Preferred Shares
acquired by the Stockholder after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time, free and clear
of any Liens. The Stockholder has not appointed or granted any proxy or power of attorney that is
still in effect with respect to the Voting Shares, except as set forth in this Agreement.

          (c) No Violation. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Stockholder
does not, and the performance by the Stockholder of its obligations under this Agreement will not,
(i) conflict with or violate the constitutive documents of the Stockholder, if the Stockholder is
an entity, (ii) conflict with or violate any law, ordinance or regulation of any Governmental or
Regulatory Authority applicable to the Stockholder or by which any of its assets or properties is
bound, or (iii) conflict with, result in any breach of or constitute a default (or an event that
with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of
termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or require payment under, or require
redemption or repurchase of or otherwise require the purchase or sale of any

- 3 -

 

securities, or result in the creation of any Lien on the properties or assets of the
Stockholder pursuant to, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license,
permit, franchise or other instrument or obligation to which the Stockholder is a party or by which
the Stockholder or any of its assets or properties is bound.

          (d) Consents and Approvals. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
Stockholder does not, and the performance by the Stockholder of its obligations under this
Agreement will not, require the Stockholder to obtain any consent, approval, authorization or
permit of, or to make any filing with or notification to, any Governmental or Regulatory Authority
or other Person.

          (e) Absence of Litigation. There is no suit, action, investigation or proceeding
pending or, to the knowledge of the Stockholder, threatened against the Stockholder before or by
any Governmental or Regulatory Authority that could reasonably be expected, either individually or
in the aggregate, to restrict, prohibit or impair the ability of (i) the Stockholder to perform its
obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on a timely basis or
(ii) Parent to exercise its rights under this Agreement.

validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other
jurisdiction, and if any provision of this Agreement is determined to be so broad as to be
unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable, in all

in the Merger Agreement.

          (b) The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this
Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this

common), rule or regulation. This Agreement is deemed to have been drafted jointly by the parties
and any uncertainty or ambiguity shall not be construed for or against any party as a result of the
attribution of drafting to any party.

     4.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by

to the extent referred to herein) constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to
the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and
oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall not be
assigned by any party hereto, except that Parent may assign all or any of its rights and
obligations hereunder to any affiliate of Parent, provided that no such assignment shall

sitting in the State of Delaware having jurisdiction over the subject matter only. The parties
hereto hereby (a) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court sitting in the
State of Delaware and having jurisdiction over the subject matter only for the purpose of any
Actions or Proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto,
and (b) irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any
such Actions or Proceedings, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the
above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the

Proceedings is improper, or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by any of the above-named
courts.

occur in the event any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms
hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the terms hereof
(without posting bond therefor), in addition to any other remedy at Law or equity. Each of the

remedy at law would be adequate and (ii) any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond
in connection with obtaining any such equitable relief.

     4.12 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties hereto hereby waives to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable Law any right it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any
litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or relating to this Agreement. Each of the
parties hereto (a) certifies that no Representative of any other party has represented, expressly
or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the
foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to
enter into this Agreement, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this

signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

     4.14 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is determined by a

rendering

invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the
validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other
jurisdiction, and if any provision of this Agreement is determined to be so broad as to be
unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable, in all
cases so long as neither the economic nor legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby
is affected in any manner materially adverse to any party or its stockholders or limited partners.
Upon any such determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a
suitable and equitable substitute provision to effect the original intent of the parties.

to the benefit of each party hereto (and such party’s respective successors and permitted assigns),
and nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other
