Stock certificates representing Shares shall be issued by the Parent at the Effective Time.  An aggregate of 84.88% of the Fully Diluted Shares to be issued to the SP Shareholders shall be issued at Closing in the name of SP under one certificate and distributed to the SP Shareholders when such shares are either registered with the SEC or an exemption from registration is available for distribution of such shares; provided that any certificate or certificates representing the Shares shall be issued with the legend referenced in Section 3.8 below.

The holders of Roomlinx Common Stock and Cenfin (pursuant to the Debt Restructuring Agreement, the terms of which are attached hereto as Exhibit D) shall own an aggregate amount of Shares as set forth on Exhibit C Post-Closing Capitalization so that collectively they will own 14.64% (135,053,762) of the shares issued and outstanding shares.

Each holder of SP Common Stock or Roomlinx Common Stock who receives any portion of the Shares who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a Share shall receive cash payment from Roomlinx in an amount equal to the fair market value of the fractional share based on the closing market price of Roomlinx common stock on the day prior to the Closing Date.

Except as otherwise provided below, each of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing until the date that is one (1) year following the Closing Date, after which time such representations and warranties shall terminate and have no further force or effect.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement: (i) those representations and warranties included in Sections 5.1 (Organization; Good Standing) and 6.1 (Organization) shall survive the Closing until the date that is three (3) years following the Closing Date, after which time such representations and warranties shall terminate and have no further force or effect; and (ii) those representations and warranties included in Sections 5.2 (Authorization), 5.5 (Capitalization), 6.2 (Authorization), 6.5 (Capitalization), 6.16 (Taxes) and 6.23 (Brokers) (the “ Excluded Representations ”) shall survive the Closing until the date that is ninety (90) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, after which time such representations and warranties shall terminate and have no further force or effect.  The covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement that are to be performed or to be complied with at or prior to the Closing shall not survive the Closing.  The covenants and agreements contained herein that are to be performed or to be complied with, in whole or in part, after the Closing shall survive the Closing in accordance with their terms.

 

Section 10.2     (a)  Indemnification by Roomlinx. Subject to the limitations set forth herein, Roomlinx shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless SP and its Affiliates and their respective members, managers, officers, directors, employees, successors and assigns (“ SP Indemnified Parties ”) against and in respect of any and all Losses that arise from or relate or are attributable to: (i) any misrepresentation in or breach of any representation or warranty contained in  Article V  hereof; (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of Roomlinx set forth herein or in any other agreement executed in connection herewith to which such Person is a party to be performed at or prior to the Closing; (iii) any breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of Roomlinx set forth herein to be performed after the Closing; (iv) any Liability to brokers retained by Roomlinx in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (v) any Taxes (x) relating to the operations of Roomlinx prior to the Closing or (y) shown as due and payable on any Final Income Tax Return filed pursuant to Section 8.6 or required to be paid in connection with any audit or other examination by any Taxing Authority or judicial or administrative proceeding relating thereto; (vi) any claim by any holder of Roomlinx Common Stock or Rights with respect to the capital stock of Roomlinx or with respect to any indebtedness of Roomlinx existing immediately prior to the Closing, including any payments made in respect of Dissenting Shares; or (vii) any claim by management employees of Roomlinx with respect to compensation due to them prior to the Closing Date.  For purposes of determining whether Losses arise from or relate or are attributable to the matters described in clauses (i) or (ii), and the amount of any such Losses, all representations, warranties and covenants shall be read as if they were not Qualified.

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, Roomlinx shall not have any obligation to indemnify any SP Indemnified Party (i) on account of any claim pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 10.2(a) (other than indemnification with respect to the Excluded Representations, as to which the Threshold (as defined below) shall not apply) (A) unless and until and only to the extent that the liability of Roomlinx in respect of such claims, when aggregated with their liability in respect of all other claims made pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 10.2(a), amounts to more than $50,000  (the “ Threshold ”), and (B) unless such claim is asserted in writing by an SP Indemnified Party within eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, whereupon Roomlinx shall be liable to pay amounts due and payable pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 10.2(a) only in excess of the Threshold, (ii) with respect to any covenant or condition waived by SP in writing at or prior to the Closing and (iii) for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages claimed by SP or resulting from the breach of any representation or warranty or breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of Roomlinx (other than indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages asserted in third party claims).  For the avoidance of doubt, the Threshold shall not apply to payment of amounts due pursuant to Article III  of this Agreement or with respect to the Excluded Representations, claims made under Section 10.2(a)(iii)-(viii) or claims arising from fraud.

 

(c)           The maximum aggregate liability of Roomlinx for any and all claims under this Article X shall not exceed $1,000,000 (the “Indemnification Cap”), other than with respect to (i) the Excluded Representations, (ii) claims made under Section 10.2(a)(vi), or (vii), in which case there shall be no limit on liability of Roomlinx for any and all claims under this  Article X , and (iii) claims arising from fraud.

(d)           In making any payments or agreeing to any settlements that would give rise to a claim for indemnification against Roomlinx pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(vii) above, SP shall act in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the amount of claims under Section 10.2(a)(vi). In addition, SP shall keep Roomlinx reasonably informed of activities and decisions likely to give rise to a claim for indemnification under Section 10.2(a)(vi).

 

Section 10.3     Indemnification by SP

 

(a)           Subject to the limitations set forth herein, SP shall indemnify and hold harmless Roomlinx and the Roomlinx Stockholders and their respective members, managers, officers, directors, employees, successors and assigns (“ Roomlinx Indemnified Parties ”) against and in respect of any and all Losses that arise from or relate or are attributable to (i) any misrepresentation in or breach of any representation or warranty contained in  Article VI  hereof, (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of SP set forth herein or in any other agreement executed in connection herewith to which SP is a party to be performed at or prior to the Closing, (iii) any breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of the SP set forth herein to be performed after the Closing or (iv) any Liability to brokers retained by SP in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, SP shall have no obligation to indemnify Roomlinx Indemnified Parties on account of any claim pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 10.3(a) (other than indemnification with respect to the Excluded Representations, as to which the Threshold shall not apply) (A) unless and until and only to the extent that the liability of SP in respect of such claims, when aggregated with their liability in respect of all other claims made pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 10.3(a), amounts to more than the Threshold and (B) unless such claim is asserted in writing by the Roomlinx Indemnified Party within one (1) year following the Closing Date, whereupon SP shall be liable to pay amounts due pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 10.3(a) only in excess of the Threshold.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Threshold shall not apply to payment of amounts due pursuant to Article III of this Agreement or with respect to the Excluded Representations or with respect to claims arising from fraud.

 

(c)           The maximum aggregate liability of SP for any and all claims under clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 10.3(a) shall not exceed the Indemnification Cap, other than with respect to (i) the Excluded Representations, in which case the maximum aggregate liability of SP for any and all claims under this Article X shall not exceed $50,000 and (ii) claims arising from fraud.  For the avoidance of doubt, the maximum liability set forth in this Section 10.3(c) shall not apply to any amounts required to be paid by SP pursuant to Article III of this Agreement and shall not count towards the Threshold or maximum liability amounts to which claims to be paid by SP hereunder (other than payments pursuant to Article III) are subject.

 

Section 10.4     Indemnification Procedures.

 

(a)           Notice to the Indemnitor.  As soon as reasonably practicable after a Person entitled to indemnification hereunder (an “ Indemnitee ”) has actual knowledge of any claim that it has under this Article X that could reasonably be expected to result in an indemnifiable Loss (a “ Claim ”), and in any event within thirty (30) days of any third party Claim being presented in writing to the Indemnitee by the party making the Claim, the Indemnitee shall give written notice thereof (a “ Claims Notice ”) to the party responsible for the indemnification (the “ Indemnitor ”).  A Claims Notice must describe the Claim in reasonable detail, and indicate the amount (estimated in good faith, as necessary and to the extent feasible) of the Loss that has been or may be suffered by the applicable Indemnitee.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no delay in or failure to give a Claims Notice pursuant to this Section 10.4(a) will adversely affect any of the other rights or remedies that the Indemnitee has under this Agreement, or alter or relieve an Indemnitor of its obligation to indemnify the applicable Indemnitee, except to the extent that such delay or failure results in the forfeiture by the Indemnitor of rights or defenses otherwise available to the Indemnitor with respect to such Claim or otherwise materially adversely prejudices the Indemnitor.  The Indemnitor shall respond to the Indemnitee (a “ Claim Response ”) within thirty (30) days (the “ Response Period ”) after the date that the Claims Notice is received (or deemed received) by the Indemnitor.  Any Claim Response must specify whether or not the Indemnitor disputes the Claim described in the Claims Notice.  If the Indemnitor fails to deliver a Claim Response within the Response Period, the Indemnitor will be deemed not to dispute the Claim described in the related Claims Notice.  If the Indemnitor elects not to dispute a Claim described in a Claims Notice, whether by failing to give a timely Claim Response or otherwise, then the amount of Losses alleged in such Claims Notice will be conclusively deemed to be an obligation of the relevant Indemnitor, and the relevant Indemnitor shall satisfy such obligation within ten (10) Business Days after the last day of the applicable Response Period the amount specified in the Claims Notice.  If the Indemnitor delivers a Claim Response within the Response Period indicating that it disputes one or more of the matters identified in the Claims Notice, representatives of the Surviving Entity and Roomlinx shall promptly meet and negotiate in good faith to settle the dispute.  The Surviving Entity and Roomlinx shall cooperate with and make available to the other party and its respective representatives all information, records and data, and shall permit reasonable access to its facilities and personnel, as may be reasonably required in connection with the resolution of such disputes, except to the extent such disclosure is reasonably likely to, in the disclosing party’s good faith determination, materially compromise the assertion of any attorney-client privilege.  If the Surviving Entity’s representative and Roomlinx’s representative are unable to reach agreement within thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the Response Period, then either the Surviving Entity or Roomlinx may resort to other legal remedies subject to the limitations set forth in this Article X .

(b)           Right of Parties to Settle or Defend.  In the event of any claim by a third party against an Indemnitee for which indemnification is available hereunder, the Indemnitor has the right, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnitee, within thirty (30) days of receipt of a Notice from the Indemnitor to assume and conduct the defense of such claim (at its sole expense) with counsel selected by the Indemnitor and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee so long as Indemnitor acknowledges in a writing delivered to the Indemnitee that the Indemnitor is obligated to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnitee under the terms of its indemnification obligations hereunder in connection with such third party claim;  provided that  if the named parties to such third party claim include both the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee and the Indemnitee has been advised in writing by counsel that there could be a material conflict of interest in the case of joint representation or that there may be a legal defense available to such Indemnitee that is different (in a non  de minimis  way) from those available to the Indemnitor, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to separate counsel of its own choosing at the Indemnitor’s reasonable expense; and  provided further that  the Indemnitor shall not be permitted to assume defense of any claim by a third party against an Indemnitee for which indemnification is available hereunder (without the written consent of the Indemnitee) if the third party claimant is seeking injunctive or similar relief that, if obtained, could be materially adverse to the Indemnitee.  If the Indemnitor has assumed such defense as provided in this Section 10.4(b), the Indemnitor will not be liable for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by any Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such claim so long as the Indemnitor actively, diligently and in good faith defends such claim.  If the Indemnitor does not assume the defense of any third party claim in accordance with this Section 10.4(b), the Indemnitee may continue to defend such claim at the sole cost of the Indemnitor (subject to the limitations set forth in this  Article X ) and the Indemnitor may still participate in, but not control, the defense of such third party claim at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense.  The Indemnitee will not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such claim, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  Except with the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), no Indemnitor, in the defense of any such claim, will consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement thereof.  Indemnitee shall not be obligated to consent to any settlement or judgment (i) if it provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the Indemnitee or (ii) unless it includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee and its Affiliates of a release from all Liability with respect to such claim or litigation.  In any such third party claim, the party responsible for the defense of such claim (the “Responsible Party”) shall, to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, keep such other party informed as to the status of such claim, including all settlement negotiations and offers.  Each Indemnitee shall use all reasonable efforts to make available to the Indemnitor and its representatives, all books, records and personnel of the Indemnitee relating to such third party claim and shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnitor in the defense of the third party claim.

(c)           Settlement. The Responsible Party shall promptly notify the other party of each settlement offer with respect to a third party claim.  Such other party shall promptly notify the Responsible Party whether or not such party is willing to accept the proposed settlement offer.  If the Indemnitor is willing to accept the proposed settlement offer but the Indemnitee refuses to accept such settlement offer, then if (i) such settlement offer requires only the payment of money damages and provides a complete release of all Indemnitees that are a party to such third party claim and their affiliates with respect to the subject matter thereof and (ii) the Indemnitor agrees in writing that the entire amount of such proposed settlement constitutes Losses for which the relevant Indemnitor is responsible and shall satisfy in full, then the amount payable to the Indemnitees with respect to such third party claim will be limited to the amount of such settlement offer.  If any such settlement offer is made to any claimant and rejected by such claimant, the amount payable to an Indemnitee with respect to such claim will not be limited to the amount of such settlement offer but will remain subject to all other limitations set forth in this Agreement.

Section 10.5     Exclusive Remedy.  If the Closing occurs, the remedies provided for in this Article X are the sole and exclusive remedy for breaches of this Agreement and no other remedy will be had in contract, tort or otherwise, except in cases of fraud and intentional misrepresentation; provided, however, that the foregoing clause of this sentence will not be deemed a waiver by either party of any right to specific performance or injunctive relief.  All claims made prior to the final distribution of the Escrow Fund shall first be satisfied from the Escrow Fund and, to the extent any excess indemnification is owed, from the appropriate Person or Persons hereunder.

 

Section 10.6     Certain Rules.  The indemnification obligations in this Article X are for the benefit of the specified indemnified persons.  Indemnification payments will be treated for tax purposes as adjustments to the Merger Consideration.

(ii)       persons, who, as of the Employment Commencement Date constitute  the  Board  (the  "Incumbent  Directors")  cease  for  any  reason,  including without limitation, as a result of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or similar transaction, to constitute at least a majority thereof, provided, however, that any person becoming a director of the Company subsequent to the Employment Commencement Date shall be considered an Incumbent Director if such person’s election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at least fifty percent (50%) of the Incumbent Directors; and provided further, that any such person whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest relating to the members of the Board or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a "person" (as defined in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) other than the Board, including by reason of agreement intended to avoid or settle any such actual or threatened contest or solicitation, shall not be considered an Incumbent Director; or

 

(iii)     consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition of at least 80% of the assets (other than cash and cash equivalents)  of  the  Company  (a  "Business  Combination"),  in  each  case,  unless, following such Business Combination, all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners of outstanding voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the company resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a  company  which,  as  a  result  of  such  transaction,  owns  the  Company  or  all  or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination, of the outstanding voting securities of the Company; or

 

(iv)      approval by the stockholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

 

(v)           A  meger  with  Roomlinx,  Inc  shall  not  be  considered “Change of Control” for this agreement.

 

6.           Golden Parachute Payments.

 

(a)       Executive shall bear all expense of, and be solely responsible for, all federal, state, local or foreign taxes due with respect to any benefit received pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"); provided, however, that any benefit received or to be received by Executive in connection with a Change of Control ("Contract Benefits") or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company or an affiliate (collectively with the Contract Benefits, the "Total Benefits") that would constitute a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion thereof shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, but only if, by reason of such reduction, the net after-tax benefit received by Executive as a result of such reduction shall exceed the net after-tax benefit received by Executive if no such reduction was made.  For purposes of this Section 6, "net after-tax benefit" shall mean the Total Benefits that Executive receives or is then entitled to receive from the Company that would constitute a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, less (i) the amount of all federal, state and local income and employment taxes payable by Executive with respect to such "parachute payment," calculated at the highest marginal income tax rate for each year in which the foregoing shall be paid to Executive (based on the rates set forth in the Code as in effect at the time of the first receipt of the foregoing benefits), and (ii) the amount of excise taxes imposed with respect to such "parachute payment" by Section 4999 of the Code.

 

(b)       The  accounting  firm  engaged  by  the  Company  (or  its  successor)  for general tax purposes shall perform any adjustment pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 6. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting firm required to be made hereunder.  The accounting firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder shall provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to Executive and to the Company within fifteen (15) calendar days of being engaged to perform such determination and adjustment, or at such other time as requested by the Company.  Any good faith determinations of the accounting firm made hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive upon you and the Company.

7.           Section 409A Compliance.

 

(a)       To the extent that any amount payable under this Agreement constitutes an amount payable under a "nonqualified deferred compensation plan" (as defined in Section 409A of the Code ("Section 409A")) following a "separation from service" (as defined in Section 409A), including any amount payable under Section 4, then, notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, such payment will not be made to Executive earlier than the day  after  the  date  that  is  six  (6)  months  following  Executive's "separation  from  service." This Section 7(a) will not be applicable after Executive's death.

 

(b)           Executive and the Company acknowledge that the requirements of Section 409A are still being developed and interpreted by government agencies, that certain issues under Section 409A remain unclear at this time, and that the parties hereto have made a good faith effort to comply with current guidance under Section 409A.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that amendments to this Agreement are necessary in order to comply with future guidance or interpretations under Section 409A, including amendments   necessary   to   ensure   that   compensation   will   not   be   subject   to   Section 409A, Executive agrees that the Company shall be permitted to make such amendments, on a prospective and/or retroactive basis, in its sole discretion.

 

8.        Restrictive Covenants.   Executive acknowledges that the Company's ability to keep its Confidential Information (as defined in Section 9(b)) secret and away from its competitors is important to the Company's and its affiliates' viability and business.  Executive further acknowledges that over the course of his employment with the Company he has and will (i) develop special and substantial relationships with the Company's and its affiliates' customers and suppliers, and/or (ii) be privy to Confidential Information.  Further, Executive has and will help develop the goodwill of the Company and its affiliates during the course of his employment. Finally, pursuant to Section 3(b), Executive will have a substantial ownership interest in the Company.  As such, Executive agrees to abide by the following covenants in order to allow the Company to protect those interests:

 

Non-Competition.   During the term of this agreement and during the "Restricted Period" (as defined below), Executive will not either directly or indirectly, for himself or any other person or entity, anywhere within the United States, carry on, own, be engaged in, assist, be employed by, consult for, serve as a director for, or have any financial interest in any business or enterprise that is materially engaged in  any of the services of the Company or manufactures or sells any of the products provided or offered by Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of Company, or if it performs any other services and/or engages in the production, manufacture, distribution or sale of any product similar to services or products, which services or products were performed, produced, manufactured, distributed, sold, under development or planned by Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of Company during the period while Executive performs services for Company, provided that an equity investment of not more than two percent (2%) in any company that is publicly traded and whose shares are listed on a national stock exchange will be permitted.

 

For purposes of this Section 8, "Restricted Period" means the period beginning on the Employment Commencement Date and continuing until the first nine (9) month anniversary of Executive's employment termination date, irrespective of the reason that Executive's employment is terminated with the Company.

 

(a)       Non-Solicitation.   During the term of this agreement Restricted Period, Executive will not either directly or indirectly, for himself or any other person or entity, (i) hire, solicit for services, encourage the resignation of, or in any other manner seek to engage or employ,  any  person  who  is  an  employee  of  the  Company,  on  Executive's  employment termination date or during the nine (9) month period preceding such termination date, or (ii) solicit, provide services to, or otherwise interfere with the Company's business relationship with, any customer of the Company in connection with services and/or products that compete with the Company's services or products, provided that such customer is a customer of the Company on the employment termination date or during the one (1) year period preceding such termination date.

 

(b)       Equitable Relief.  Executive acknowledges that the remedy at law for his breach of Section 8, 9(a) and/or 10 will be inadequate, and that the damages flowing from such breach will not be readily susceptible to being measured in monetary terms. Accordingly, upon a violation of any part of such Sections, the Company will be entitled to immediate injunctive relief (or other equitable relief) and may obtain a temporary order restraining any further violation.  No bond or other security will be required in obtaining such equitable relief, and Executive hereby consents to the issuance of such equitable relief.  Such equitable relief may be obtained from any court having appropriate jurisdiction over the matter.  Nothing in this Section 8(c) shall be deemed to limit the Company's remedies at law or in equity that may be pursued or availed of by the Company for any breach by Executive of any of the parts of Sections 8, 9(a) and/or 10.

 

(c)       Judicial Modification. Executive acknowledges that it is the intent of the parties hereto that the restrictions contained or referenced in Sections 8, 9 and 10 be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws of each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If any of the restrictions contained or referenced in such Sections is for any reason held by a court or arbitrator to be excessively broad as to duration, activity, geographical scope, or subject, then, for purposes of that jurisdiction, such restriction shall be construed, judicially modified, or "blue penciled" so as to thereafter be limited or reduced to the extent required to be enforceable in accordance with applicable law.   Executive acknowledges and understands that, due to the nature and scope of the Company's existing and proposed business plans and projects, and the technological advancements in electronic communications, any narrower geographic restriction of his obligations under Sections 8(a) and 8(b) would be inappropriate and counter to the protections sought by the Company thereunder.

 

9.           Confidential Information.

 

(a)       Non-Use and Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information.  Executive acknowledges that, during the course of his employment with the Company, he has had and will have access to information about the Company and its affiliates, and their customers and suppliers, that is confidential and/or proprietary in nature, and that belongs to the Company and/or its affiliates.  As such, at all times, both during his employment and thereafter, Executive will hold in the strictest confidence, and not use or attempt to use except for the benefit of the Company and its affiliates, and not disclose to any other person or entity (without the prior written authorization of the Board) any "Confidential Information" (as defined in Section 9(b)). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 9, Executive will be permitted to disclose any Confidential Information to the extent required by validly-issued legal process or court order, provided that Executive notifies the Board immediately of any such legal process or court order in an effort to allow the Company to challenge such legal process or court order, if the Company so elects, prior to Executive's disclosure of any Confidential Information.

 

(b)       Definition   of   Confidential   Information.      For   purposes   of   this Agreement, "Confidential Information" means any confidential or proprietary information that belongs to the Company or its affiliates, or any of their customers or suppliers, including, without limitation, technical data, market data, trade secrets, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, other intellectual property, know-how, research, business plans, product and service information, projects, services, customer lists and information, customer preferences, customer transactions, supplier lists and information, supplier rates, software, hardware, technology, inventions, developments, processes, formulas, designs, drawings, marketing methods and strategies, pricing strategies, sales methods, financial information, project information, revenue figures, account information, credit information, financing arrangements, and other information disclosed to Executive by the Company or its affiliates in confidence, directly or indirectly, and whether in writing, orally, or by electronic records, drawings, pictures, or inspection of tangible property.

10.      Return   of   Company   Property.      Upon   the   termination   of   Executive's employment with the Company, or at any time during such employment upon request by the Company, Executive will promptly deliver to the Company and not keep in his possession, recreate, or deliver to any other person or entity, any and all property that belongs to the Company or any of its affiliates, or that belongs to any other third party and is in Executive's possession as a result of his employment with the Company, including, without limitation, records, data, customer lists and information, supplier lists and information, notes, reports, correspondence, financial information, account information, product and service information, project information, files, and other documents and information, including any and all copies of the foregoing.

 

11.           Assignment.

 

(a)       This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of (i) the heirs, beneficiaries, executors and legal representatives of Executive upon Executive's death and (ii) any successor of the Company, provided, however, that any successor shall within ten (10) days of such assumption deliver to Executive a written assumption in a form reasonably acceptable to Executive. Any such successor of the Company shall be deemed substituted for the Company under the terms of this Agreement for all purposes.  As used herein, "successor" shall mean  any  person,  firm,  corporation or  other  business  entity  that  at  any  time,  whether  by purchase, merger or otherwise, directly or indirectly acquires all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Company.  Notwithstanding such assignment, the Company shall remain, with such successor, jointly and severally liable for all of its obligations hereunder.  This Agreement may not otherwise be assigned by the Company.

 

(b)       None of the rights of Executive to receive any form of compensation payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be assignable or transferable except through a testamentary disposition or by the laws of descent and distribution upon the death of Executive or as provided in Section 20 hereof.  Any attempted assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than as provided in this Section 12) of any interest in the rights of Executive to receive any form of compensation hereunder shall be null and void; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall be allowed to transfer vested Option Shares or other stock options or equity awards consistent with the rules for transfers to "family members" as defined in U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Form S-8.

 

12.           Liability Insurance.

 

(a)           The Company shall cover Executive under directors' and officers' liability insurance both during and, while potential liability exists, after the Employment Term in the same amount and to the same extent, if any, as the Company covers its other officers and directors.

 

(b)       The  Company  shall,  both  during  and  after  the  Employment  Term, indemnify and hold harmless Executive to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law with regard to actions or inactions taken by Executive in the performance of his duties as an officer, director and employee of the Company and its affiliates or as a fiduciary of any benefit plan of the Company and its affiliates. In the event of any litigation, investigation, or other matters naming the Executive, the company will pay 100% of the Executives legal fees, including any retainers required, with an attorney or attorney’s of the Executives choice.
