NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto intending to be legally bound hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
The Merger
SECTION 1.01. The Merger.
(a) Effective Time of the Merger. Subject to the provisions set forth in this Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Company and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and the Company will continue its corporate existence under the Oregon Business Corporation Act (the “OBCA”). Articles of Merger (“Articles of Merger”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B shall be duly prepared by the parties, executed by the Surviving Corporation (as defined below) and delivered to the Secretary of State of Oregon for filing, as provided in the OBCA as soon as practicable on or after the Closing Date (as defined in Section 1.01(b)). The Merger shall become effective upon the later to occur of (i) the acceptance for filing of the Articles of Merger by the Secretary of State of Oregon or (ii) at such later time as is provided in the Articles of Merger (the “Effective Time”).
(b) Closing. The closing (“Closing”) of the Merger and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Transactions”) will take place on the first business day following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to closing set forth in Article V (the “Closing Date”), at such location to be determined by the Company and Parent, or such other date and time as the Parties may mutually determine.
(c) Effects of the Merger. At the Effective Time, (i) the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Company and Company shall continue as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (subsequent to the Merger, Company is sometimes referred to herein as the “Surviving Corporation”), (ii) Qayed Shareef and Kevin Conner shall be the directors and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively, of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors shall have been duly elected, designated, or qualified or until their earlier death, resignation, or removal in accordance with the Surviving Corporation’s articles of incorporation and bylaws, and (iii) the Merger shall, from and after the Effective Time, have all the effects provided by §60.481 of the OBCA and other applicable law.
SECTION 1.02. Effect on Capital Stock. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action (except as provided in OBCA and in this Section 1.02) on the part of Merger Sub, Parent, Company, or the Shareholders:
(a) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of Merger Sub common stock, $0.001 par value per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable share of Surviving Corporation common stock (“Surviving Corporation Common Stock”), with the stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of such share of Surviving Corporation Common Stock.
(b) Cancellation of Company Shares. Each Company Share held by Company as treasury stock and each Company Share owned directly or indirectly by Company or by any subsidiary of Company shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.
(c) Conversion of Company Shares. Each Company Share shall, without any action on the part of the holder thereof (except as set forth in this Section 1.02(c)) be converted into the right to receive 3,350 newly issued shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share of the Parent (“Parent Stock” or “Merger Consideration”). Based on the number of Company Shares held by each Shareholder as set forth on Exhibit A, each shareholder shall receive the aggregate number of shares of Parent Stock set forth next to their name on Exhibit A.
(d) At the Effective Time, all Company Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall be cancelled and cease to exist, and each certificate (a “Certificate”) previously representing any Company Shares shall represent only the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration as provided by this Section 1.02.
SECTION 1.03. Appraisal Rights. Company Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not consented to the Merger in writing and who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal for such Company Shares in accordance with the OBCA (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration unless such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s right to appraisal. If, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s right to appraisal, such Company Shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time pursuant to Section 1.02, without any interest therefor. The Company shall give the Parent prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of Company Shares, and the Parent shall have the right to participate at its own expense in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of the Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands.

SECTION 1.04. Delivery of Merger Consideration.
(a) Exchange Procedures. At the Effective Time, Parent will deliver the Merger Consideration to the Shareholders, other than to those holders of Dissenting Shares not entitled thereto, upon (1) the submission of a Certificate to the Parent and a duly executed letter of transmittal in the form set forth in Exhibit C (the “Letter of Transmittal”) by such Shareholder. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by Shareholder claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen, or destroyed and, without the requirement of the payment of any fees or the posting by such Shareholder of a bond, the Parent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificate, the applicable Merger Consideration to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to this Article I.
(b) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Shares. The applicable Merger Consideration delivered upon surrender in exchange for Company Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been delivered in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Shares. After the Effective Time there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of Company Shares issued prior thereto. Upon the effectiveness of the Merger, all Company Shares issued prior thereto (other than Dissenting Shares) shall no longer be outstanding and shall cease to exist, and each Certificate previously representing any such shares shall represent only the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration as described in Section 1.02 subject to the terms of this Agreement. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Parent for transfer, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article I, except as otherwise provided by law.
(c) Withholding Rights. Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the applicable Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Shareholder immediately prior to the Effective Time, such amounts as Parent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local, or foreign tax law. Any such withheld amounts shall be timely paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity (as defined in Section 2.03). To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to relevant Shareholder in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent.

There are no bonds, debentures, notes, or other indebtedness of the Parent having the right to vote (or convertible into, or exchangeable for, securities having the right to vote) on any matters on which holders of Parent Stock may vote (“Voting Parent Debt”). Except as set forth in the Parent SEC Documents, as of the date of this Agreement, there are no options, warrants, rights, convertible or exchangeable securities, “phantom” stock rights, stock appreciation rights, stock-based performance units, commitments, Contracts, arrangements, or undertakings of any kind to which the Parent is a party or by which it is bound (i) obligating the Parent to issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be issued, delivered, or sold, additional shares of capital stock or other equity interests in, or any security convertible or exercisable for or exchangeable into any capital stock of or other equity interest in, the Parent or any Voting Parent Debt, (ii) obligating the Parent to issue, grant, extend, or enter into any such option, warrant, call, right, security, commitment, Contract, arrangement, or undertaking, or (iii) that give any person the right to receive any economic benefit or right similar to or derived from the economic benefits and rights occurring to holders of the capital stock of the Parent.

No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed by the Company, Parent, and the Shareholders. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition, or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any Party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
SECTION 8.03. Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Parent Stock is mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Parent shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefore, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Parent of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Party shall be liable to any other Party for any lost profits or incidental, consequential, indirect or punitive damages.
SECTION 8.05. Time Limitations for Claims. The representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements of Company, the Shareholders, Parent and Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement shall survive Closing and the Effective Time and shall continue until the 18-month anniversary of the Closing Date, at which time all representations and warranties and the right to assert claims based thereon shall expire.

SECTION 8.06. Limitations on Damages and Recourse Remedies. Except for claims based on intentional fraud or willful misrepresentation, (a) the aggregate liability of any Shareholder hereunder in respect of breaches of such Shareholder’s representations and warranties shall not exceed the amount of Merger Consideration received by such Shareholder and (b) claims by Parent or Merger Sub against Qayed Shareef based on any breaches of the representations and warranties made by him hereunder shall be satisfied solely from the shares of Parent Stock held by him pursuant to the Lockup Agreement at such time as such claim is finally settled and not through any other recourse at law or equity.

22 |
SECTION 8.08. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any rule or Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that Transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
SECTION 8.09. Counterparts; Facsimile Execution. This Agreement may be executed in one (1) or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties.

SECTION 8.10. Entire Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the Company Disclosure Schedule, together (a) constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the Transactions, and (b) are not intended to confer upon any person other than the Parties any rights or remedies.
SECTION 8.11. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of California, without reference to principles of conflicts of laws. Any action or proceeding brought for the purpose of enforcement of any term or provision of this Agreement shall be brought only in the federal or state courts sitting in California and the parties hereby waive any and all rights to trial by jury.
SECTION 8.12. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests, or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the Parties without the prior written consent of the other Parties.

THIS LEAK-OUT AND LOCKUP AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of July 1, 2013, between Mimvi, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and Qayed Shareef (the “Shareholder”). For all purposes of this Agreement, “Shareholder” includes any affiliate, controlling person of Shareholder, agent, representative, or other person with whom Shareholder is acting in concert.
WHEREAS, the Company and the Shareholder have agreed to enter into this Agreement to restrict the public sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, hypothecation, or alienation of the common stock represented by Certificate Number 2088, representing 27,918,900 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Lock-Up Shares”), all on the terms set forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Shareholder agrees that he will not sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or transfer any of the Lock-Up Shares or any interest therein, until the 20-month anniversary of this Agreement (“Lock-Up Period”), provided that the Shareholder may transfer Lock-Up Shares (i) by gift, will, intestacy or other estate planning purposes provided that the transferee executes an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the securities subject to the provisions of this Agreement; or (ii) to the Company pursuant to the Put Agreement between the Shareholder and the Company of even date herewith or pursuant to the settlement of any claim or dispute between the Company and the Shareholder. The Shareholder shall immediately deliver certificate representing all of the Lock-Up Shares to V Stock Transfer, LLC (the “Transfer Agent”) and the Transfer Agent shall hold the Lock-Up Shares, subject to the monthly release schedule set forth below, during the Lock-Up Period. The Company and the Shareholder agree to execute any documents reasonably required by the Transfer Agent in connection with this Agreement.
(a) Following receipt of the certificates representing the Lock-Up Shares, the Transfer Agent shall immediately deliver back to the Shareholder 1,000,000 shares of the Lock-Up Shares and, on the 1st of each month thereafter (beginning July 1, 2013), shall deliver an additional 1,000,000 shares of the Lock-Up shares until all Lock-Up Shares have been delivered to the Shareholder (the “Leak-Out Shares”). The Leak-Out Shares, once released by the Transfer Agent in compliance with this Agreement, shall not be subject to any restrictions imposed by this Agreement.
(b) The Leak-Out Shares shall be delivered to the Shareholder in such manner as the Shareholder and the Transfer Agent may mutually determine, whether in paper certificate, DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian), DRS (Direct Registration System) or other acceptable form of delivery, subject to compliance with all applicable securities laws and regulations.
(c) The Shareholder agrees that he will not engage in any short selling (as defined under Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of the Lock-Up Shares or the Leak-Out Shares during the Lock-Up Period.
2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company may, in its sole discretion and in good faith, at any time and from time to time, waive any of the conditions or restrictions contained herein to increase the liquidity of the common stock or if such waiver would otherwise be in the best interests of the development of the trading market for the common stock. At the time of any such waiver, the Shareholder’s common stock can be publicly sold in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or Rule 144 promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise.
3. In the event of: (a) an acquisition after the date hereof by an individual or legal entity or “group” (as described in Rule 13d-5(b)(l) promulgated under the Exchange Act) of effective control (whether through legal or beneficial ownership of capital stock of the Company, by contract or otherwise) of in excess of 50% of the voting securities of the Company or (b) the merger or consolidation by the Company into or with any other person, or the merger or consolidation by any other person into or with the Company and, after giving effect to such transaction, the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction own less than 50% of the aggregate voting power of the Company or the successor entity of such transaction, or (c) the sale or transfer by the Company all or substantially all of its assets to another person and the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction own less than 50% of the aggregate voting power of the acquiring entity immediately after the transaction, then this Agreement shall terminate as of the closing of such event and the common stock restricted pursuant hereto shall be released from such restrictions.
4. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any other agreements between the parties, the Shareholder shall be entitled to his respective beneficial rights of ownership of the common stock, including the right to vote the common stock for any and all purposes and the right to receive dividends and distributions thereon.
5. The number of Lock-Up Shares and Leak-Out Shares shall be appropriately adjusted should the Company make a stock dividend, undergo a forward split or a reverse split of its outstanding shares of common stock, or otherwise reclassify its shares of common stock.
6. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same force and effect as if all parties had executed the same document.
7. All notices and communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be given or made on the date of delivery, if delivered in person, by an internationally recognized overnight delivery service, or by facsimile, to the party entitled to receive the same, if to the Shareholder at the address or facsimile number on the signature page and if to the Company at the address or facsimile number set forth on the signature page, or at such other address or facsimile number as shall be designated by any party hereto in written notice to the other party hereto delivered pursuant to this subsection.
8. The resale restrictions on the Lock-Up Shares shall be in addition to all other restrictions on transfer imposed by applicable United States and state securities laws, rules and regulations.
9. If the Company or the Shareholder fail to fully adhere to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, then such party shall be liable to every other party for any damages suffered by any party by reason of any such breach of the terms and conditions hereof. The Shareholder agrees that in the event of a breach of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement by the Shareholder, that in addition to all other remedies that may be available in law or in equity to the non-defaulting parties, a preliminary and permanent injunction, without bond or surety, and an order of a court requiring such defaulting Shareholder to cease and desist from violating the terms and conditions of this Agreement and specifically requiring such Shareholder to perform his obligations hereunder is fair and reasonable by reason of the inability of the parties to this Agreement to presently determine the type, extent or amount of damages that the Company or the non-defaulting Shareholder may suffer as a result of any breach or continuation thereof.
2 |
10. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be amended except by a written instrument executed by the parties hereto.
11. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California applicable to contracts entered into and to be performed wholly within said State; and the Company and the Shareholder agree that any action based upon this Agreement may be brought in the United States and state courts of California only, and each submits himself/itself to the jurisdiction of such courts for all purposes hereunder.
12. In the event of default hereunder, the non-defaulting parties shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in the enforcement of this Agreement.

4. Termination. The Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated without any breach of this Agreement under the following circumstances:
(a) Death. The Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon his death.
(b) Disability. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment if he is disabled and unable to perform the essential functions of the Executive’s then existing position or positions under this Agreement with or without reasonable accommodation for a period of 180 days (which need not be consecutive) in any twelve-month period. If any question shall arise as to whether during any period the Executive is disabled so as to be unable to perform the essential functions of the Executive’s then existing position or positions with or without reasonable accommodation, the Executive may, and at the request of the Company shall, submit to the Company a certification in reasonable detail by a physician selected by the Executive to whom the Executive or the Executive’s guardian has no reasonable objection as to whether the Executive is so disabled or how long such disability is expected to continue, and such certification shall for the purposes of this Agreement be conclusive of the issue. The Executive shall cooperate with any reasonable request of the physician in connection with such certification. If such question shall arise and the Executive shall fail to submit such certification, the Company’s determination of such issue shall be binding on the Executive. Nothing in this Section 4(b) shall be construed to waive the Executive’s rights, if any, under existing law including, without limitation, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, 29 U.S.C. §2601 et seq. and the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §12101 et seq.
(c) Termination by Company for Cause. At any time during the Term, the Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder for Cause if at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose, a majority of the members of the Board determine in good faith that the Executive is guilty of conduct that constitutes “Cause” as defined herein. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean: (i) conduct by the Executive constituting a material act of willful misconduct in connection with the performance of his duties, including, without limitation, misappropriation of funds or property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates other than the occasional, customary, and de minimis use of Company property for personal purposes; (ii) the commission by the Executive of any felony or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, deceit, dishonesty, or fraud, or any conduct by the Executive that would reasonably be expected to result in material injury to the Company or any of its subsidiaries and affiliates if he were retained in his position; (iii) continued, willful, and deliberate non-performance by the Executive of his duties hereunder (other than by reason of the Executive’s physical or mental illness, incapacity, or disability) which has continued for more than thirty (30) days following written notice of such non-performance from the Board; (iv) a material breach by the Executive of any of the provisions contained in Section 6 of this Agreement; (v) a material violation by the Executive of the Company’s written employment policies which has continued following written notice of such violation from the Board; or (vi) willful failure to cooperate with a bona fide internal investigation or an investigation by regulatory or law enforcement authorities, after being instructed by the Company in writing to cooperate, or the willful destruction or failure to preserve documents or other materials known to be relevant to such investigation or the willful inducement of others to fail to cooperate or to produce documents or other materials in connection with such investigation. For purposes of clauses (i), (iii), or (vi) hereof, no act, or failure to act, on the Executive’s part shall be deemed “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive without reasonable belief that the Executive’s act or failure to act, was in the best interest of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates.
2 |
(d) Termination by Company without Cause. At any time during the Term, the Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder without Cause. Any termination by the Company of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement which does not result from the death or disability of the Executive under Section 4(a) or (b), does not constitute a termination for Cause under Section 4(c), and does not constitute a termination pursuant to the sale of the Company under Section 4(e) shall be deemed a termination without Cause.
(e) Termination in connection with Sale of the Business. In the event of a sale of the Company (whether by stock sale, asset sale, merger, consolidation, or otherwise), this Agreement shall remain an enforceable obligation of the Company unless (i) expressly assumed by the buyer, or (ii) expressly waived by Executive.
(f) Termination by the Executive. At any time during the Term, the Executive may terminate his employment hereunder for any reason upon thirty (30) days written notice to the Board.
(g) Notice of Termination. Except for termination as specified in Section 4(a), any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company or any such termination by the Executive shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon.
(h) Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” shall mean: (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by his death, the date of his death; (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated on account of disability under Section 4(b) or by the Company for Cause under Section 4(c), the date on which Notice of Termination is given; (iii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company under Section 4(d), the date on which a Notice of Termination is given; or (iv) if the Executive’s employment is terminated under Section 4(e) in connection with the sale of the Company, the date of the closing of such sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Executive gives a Notice of Termination to the Company, the Company may unilaterally accelerate the Date of Termination and such acceleration shall not result in a termination by the Company for purposes of this Agreement.
5. Compensation Upon Termination.
(a) Termination Generally. If the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason during the Term, the Company shall pay or provide to the Executive (or to his authorized representative or estate) any earned but unpaid base salary, incentive compensation earned but not yet paid, unpaid expense reimbursements, accrued but unused vacation, and any vested benefits the Executive may have under any executive benefit plan of the Company (the “Accrued Benefit”) on the Executive’s Date of Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Accrued Benefit shall not include any Employment Agreement Contingent Compensation, as it is expressly understood that Employment Agreement Contingent Compensation shall not be payable following the termination of the Executive, except for a termination under Sections 4(d) in connection with termination of the Employment Agreement without cause or 4(e) in connection with the sale of the Company (pro-rata as of the date of the closing of such sale).
3 |
(b) Termination by the Company Without Cause. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause as provided in Section 4(d), then the Company shall, through the Date of Termination, pay the Executive his Accrued Benefit. If the Executive signs a standard general release of claims in a form and manner satisfactory to the Company and Executive (the “Release”) within twenty-one (21) days of the receipt of the Release and does not revoke such Release during the seven-day revocation period, the Company shall (A) pay the Executive the greater of: (i) the unpaid Base Salary that the Executive, had he not been terminated, would have earned through the end of the Term; and (ii) one year of Base Salary (the “Severance Amount”); and (B) continuation of healthcare benefits for a period at the Company’s cost for a period of eighteen (18) months pursuant to COBRA (collectively, the “Severance”). The Severance Amount shall be paid out in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practice, beginning on the first payroll date after the Date of Termination or expiration of the seven-day revocation period for the Release, if later. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive breaches any of the provisions contained in Section 6 of this Agreement, all payments of the Severance Amount shall immediately cease.
6. Confidential Information, Noncompetition and Cooperation.
(a) Confidential Information. As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means information belonging to the Company which is of value to the Company in the course of conducting its business and the disclosure of which could result in a competitive or other disadvantage to the Company. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, financial information, reports, and forecasts; inventions, improvements and other intellectual property; trade secrets; know-how; designs, processes, or formulae; software; market or sales information or plans; customer lists; and business plans, prospects, and opportunities (such as possible acquisitions or dispositions of businesses or facilities) which have been discussed or considered by the management of the Company. Confidential Information includes information developed by the Executive in the course of the Executive’s employment by the Company, as well as other information to which the Executive may have access in connection with the Executive’s employment. Confidential Information also includes the confidential information of others with which the Company has a business relationship. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include information in the public domain, unless due to breach of the Executive’s duties under Section 6(b).
(b) Confidentiality. The Executive understands and agrees that the Executive’s employment creates a relationship of confidence and trust between the Executive and the Company with respect to all Confidential Information. At all times, both during the Executive’s employment with the Company and after its termination, the Executive will keep in confidence and trust all such Confidential Information, and will not use or disclose any such Confidential Information without the written consent of the Company, except as may be necessary in the ordinary course of performing the Executive’s duties to the Company.
(c) Documents, Records, etc. All documents, records, data, apparatus, equipment, and other physical property, whether or not pertaining to Confidential Information, which are furnished to the Executive by the Company or are produced by the Executive in connection with the Executive’s employment will be and remain the sole property of the Company. The Executive will return to the Company all such materials and property as and when requested by the Company. In any event, the Executive will return all such materials and property immediately upon termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason. The Executive will not retain with the Executive any such material or property or any copies thereof after such termination.
4 |
(d) Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation. During the Term, and only during the Term, the Executive will not, without the prior written consent of the Board, directly or indirectly, engage or participate in, be employed by or assist in any manner or in any capacity, or have any interest in or make any loan to any person, firm, corporation or business which engages in any activity anywhere in the world which is similar to or competitive with any business in which the Company is engaged or proposes to engage, so long as the Company (or its successor, if any) shall engage in such activity; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent the Executive from owning beneficially or of record up to five percent (5%) of the outstanding securities of a publicly-held corporation which engages in competitive activities. In addition, during the Term (including any severance period provided by Section 5(b) plus twelve (12) months following the end of the Term, the Executive shall refrain from soliciting or encouraging any executive of the Company to terminate his or her employment by the Company and to become employed by Executive, or any business or entity (other than the Company) with which he is affiliated as an owner, investor, lender, or in any other capacity. Furthermore, during the Term, the Executive will refrain from soliciting or encouraging any customer or supplier to terminate or otherwise modify adversely its business relationship with the Company. The Executive understands that the restrictions set forth in this Section 6(d) are intended to protect the Company’s interest in its Confidential Information and established executive, customer, and supplier relationships and goodwill, and agrees that such restrictions are reasonable and appropriate for this purpose.
(e) Third-Party Agreements and Rights. The Executive hereby confirms that the Executive is not bound by the terms of any agreement with any previous employer or other party which restricts in any way the Executive’s use or disclosure of information or the Executive’s engagement in any business. The Executive represents to the Company that the Executive’s execution of this Agreement, the Executive’s employment with the Company and the performance of the Executive’s proposed duties for the Company will not violate any obligations the Executive may have to any such previous employer or other party. In the Executive’s work for the Company, the Executive will not disclose or make use of any information in violation of any agreements with or rights of any such previous employer or other party, and the Executive will not bring to the premises of the Company any copies or other tangible embodiments of non-public information belonging to or obtained from any such previous employment or other party.
(f) Litigation and Regulatory Cooperation. During and after the Executive’s employment, the Executive shall cooperate with the Company in the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or which may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the Company which relate to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Company. The Executive’s full cooperation in connection with such claims or actions shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with counsel to prepare for discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of the Company at mutually convenient times. During and after the Executive’s employment, the Executive also shall cooperate with the Company in connection with any investigation or review of any federal, state, or local regulatory authority as any such investigation or review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Company. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Executive’s performance of obligations pursuant to this Section 6(f).
(g) Injunction. The Executive agrees that it would be difficult to measure any damages caused to the Company which might result from any breach by the Executive of the promises set forth in this Section 6, and that in any event money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any such breach. Accordingly, subject to Section 7 of this Agreement, the Executive agrees that if the Executive breaches, or proposes to breach, any portion of this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies that it may have, to an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief to restrain any such breach.
5 |
7. Consent to Jurisdiction. To the extent that any court action is permitted consistent with or to enforce Section 7 of this Agreement, the parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the Superior Court of the State of California and the United States District Court for the Southern District of California.
8. Integration. This Agreement, together with any other documents contemplated thereby, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements between the parties concerning such subject matter.
9. Withholding. All payments made by the Company to the Executive under this Agreement shall be net of any tax or other amounts required to be withheld by the Company under applicable law.
10. Successor to the Executive. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees. In the event of the Executive’s death after his termination of employment but prior to the completion by the Company of all payments due him under this Agreement, the Company shall continue such payments to the Executive’s beneficiary designated in writing to the Company prior to his death (or to his estate, if the Executive fails to make such designation).
11. Enforceability. If any portion or provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any portion or provision of any section of this Agreement) shall to any extent be declared illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such portion or provision in circumstances other than those as to which it is so declared illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each portion and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
12. Waiver. No waiver of any provision hereof shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving party. The failure of any party to require the performance of any term or obligation of this Agreement, or the waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement, shall not prevent any subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach.
13. Notices. Any notices, requests, demands, and other communications provided for by this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and delivered in person or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Executive at the last address the Executive has filed in writing with the Company or, in the case of the Company, at its main offices, attention of the Board.
14. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by the Executive and by a duly authorized representative of the Company (not including the Executive).
15. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed under and be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to conflict of laws principles.
16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be taken to be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same document.

EXHIBIT F
INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of the 1st day of July, 2013, by and between Mimvi, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Corporation”), and Qayed Shareef (“Indemnitee”), a director and/or officer of the Corporation.
RECITALS
A. It is essential to the Corporation to retain and attract as directors and officers of the Corporation the most capable persons available.
B. Both the Corporation and Indemnitee recognize the increased risk of litigation and other claims currently being asserted against directors and officers of corporations generally.
C. The Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the "Articles of Incorporation") and Bylaws of the Corporation require the Corporation to indemnify and advance expenses to its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under Nevada law, and Indemnitee will serve or has been serving and continues to serve as a director and/or officer of the Corporation in part in reliance on the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.
D. In recognition of Indemnitee’s need for (i) substantial protection against personal liability based on Indemnitee’s reliance on the aforesaid Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, (ii) specific contractual assurance that the protection promised by the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws will be available to Indemnitee (regardless of, among other things, any amendment to or revocation of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws or any change in the composition of the Corporation’s Board of Directors or acquisition transaction relating to the Corporation), and (iii) an inducement to provide effective services to the Corporation as a director and/or officer, the Corporation wishes to provide in this Agreement for the indemnification of and the advancing of expenses to Indemnitee to the fullest extent (whether partial or complete) permitted under Nevada law and as set forth in this Agreement, and, to the extent insurance is maintained, to provide for the continued coverage of Indemnitee under the Corporation’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies.
AGREEMENTS
NOW, THEREFORE, the Corporation and Indemnitee do hereby agree as follows:
1. Agreement to Serve. Indemnitee agrees to serve or continue to serve as a director and/or an officer of the Corporation for so long as he is duly elected or appointed or until such time as he tenders his resignation in writing.
2. Definitions. As used in this Agreement:
(a) “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events after the date of this Agreement:
(i) A change in the composition of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, as a result of which fewer than a majority of the incumbent directors are directors who either (1) had been directors of the Corporation 12 months prior to such change or (2) were elected, or nominated for election, to the Board of Directors with the affirmative votes of at least a majority of the directors who had been directors of the Corporation 12 months prior to such change and who were still in office at the time of the election or nomination; or
(ii) Any “person” (as such term is used in section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) through the acquisition or aggregation of securities is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Corporation representing 40% or more of the combined voting power of the Corporation’s then outstanding securities ordinarily (and apart from rights accruing under special circumstances) having the right to vote at elections of directors (the “Capital Stock”).
(b) “Disinterested Director” means a director of the Corporation who is not and was not a party to the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought by Indemnitee.
(c) The term “Expenses” shall include, without limitation, expenses, costs and obligations, paid or incurred, of investigations, judicial or administrative proceedings or appeals, amounts paid in settlement by or on behalf of Indemnitee, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements and any expenses reasonably and actually incurred in establishing a right to indemnification under Section 8 of this Agreement including, without limitation, those incurred in investigating, defending, being a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend with respect to any claim, issue or matter relating thereto or in connection therewith, but shall not include the amount of judgments, fines or penalties against Indemnitee.
(d) “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 5 years has been, retained to represent: (i) the Corporation or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party, 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 Corporation or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement.
(e) The term “Proceeding” shall include any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, internal or external investigation or proceeding, and any appeal thereof, whether brought by or in the right of the Corporation or otherwise and whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and/or any inquiry or investigation, in which Indemnitee may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, by reason of any action taken by him or of any inaction on his part while acting as a director or officer, or by reason of the fact that he is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, 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 or reimbursement can be provided under this Agreement.
(f) References to “other enterprise” shall include employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall include any excise tax assessed with respect to any employee benefit plan; references to "serving at the request of the Corporation" shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or its subsidiaries which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interests of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in this Agreement.
3. Indemnity in Third-Party Proceedings. The Corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding (other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor) by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against all Expenses, judgments, fines and penalties actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement of such Proceeding, but only if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Corporation, or, in the case of a criminal action or proceeding, in addition, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
4. Indemnitee in Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation. The Corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4 if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement of such Proceeding, but only if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Corporation, except that no indemnification for Expenses shall be made under this Section 4 in respect of any Proceeding as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation, unless and only to the extent that any court in which such Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as such court shall deem proper. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indemnitee shall have no right to indemnification 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.
5. Intentionally omitted.
6. Indemnification of Expenses of Successful Party. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement whatsoever, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise (including a settlement) in defense of any Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, including dismissal without prejudice, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses reasonably and actually incurred in connection therewith.
7. Advances of Expenses. The Corporation shall advance all reasonable Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding within 20 days after the receipt by the Corporation 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 Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses.
8. Procedure for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification.
(a) To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Corporation 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 Corporation 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 8(a) hereof, a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case: (i) if a Change of Control (as defined in Section 2) shall have occurred, by Independent Counsel (as defined in Section 2) (unless Indemnitee shall request that such determination be made by the Board of Directors or the stockholders, in which case by the person or persons or in the manner provided for in clauses (ii) or (iii) of this Section 8(b)) in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee; (ii) if a Change of Control shall not have occurred, (A) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors (as defined in Section 2), or (B) if a quorum of the Board of Directors consisting of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, such quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee or (C) by the stockholders of the Corporation; or (iii) as provided in Section 9(b) of this Agreement; and, if it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within 20 days after such determination. 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 costs or expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Corporation (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification), and the Corporation hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.
(c) In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 8(b) hereof, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 8(c). If a Change of Control shall not have occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board of Directors, and the Corporation shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising him of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. If a Change of Control shall have occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board of Directors, in which event the preceding sentence shall apply), and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Corporation advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. In either event, the Indemnitee or the Corporation, as the case may be, may, within 7 days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Corporation or to Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection. 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 2 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. If such written objection is made, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until 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 8(a) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Corporation or Indemnitee may petition the courts of the State of Nevada or other court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Corporation 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 an objection is so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 8(b) hereof. The Corporation shall pay any and all reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel incurred by such Independent Counsel in connection with acting pursuant to Section 8(b) hereof, and the Corporation shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the procedures of this Section 8(c), regardless of the manner in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed. Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding pursuant to Section 11(a)(iii) of this Agreement, Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing).
9. Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings.
(a) If a Change of Control shall have occurred, 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 8(a) of this Agreement, and the Corporation shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by any person, persons or entity of any determination contrary to that presumption.
(b) If the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 8 of this Agreement to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a determination within 60 days after receipt by the Corporation 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 60-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional 30 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 of documentation and/or information relating thereto; and provided, further, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 9(b) shall not apply (i) if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by the stockholders pursuant to Section 8(b) of this Agreement and if (A) within 15 days after receipt by the Corporation of the request for such determination the Board of Directors has resolved to submit such determination to the stockholders for their consideration at an annual meeting thereof to be held within 75 days after such receipt and such determination is made thereat, or (B) a special meeting of stockholders is called within 15 days after such receipt for the purpose of making such determination, such meeting is held for such purpose within 60 days after having been so called and such determination is made thereat; or (ii) if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 8(b) of this Agreement.
(c) The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
10. Notification and Defense of Claim. Promptly after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding, Indemnitee will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Corporation under this Agreement, notify the Corporation of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the Corporation will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to Indemnitee otherwise than under this Agreement. With respect to any Proceeding as to which Indemnitee notifies the Corporation of the commencement thereof:
(a) the Corporation will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense;
(b) Except as otherwise provided below, to the extent that it may wish, the Corporation jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee. After notice from the Corporation to Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense thereof, the Corporation will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any Expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise provided below. Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his or her own counsel in such Proceeding, but the Expenses associated with the employment of such counsel incurred after notice from the Corporation of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been authorized by the Corporation, (ii) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Corporation and Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such Proceeding or (iii) the Corporation shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding, in each of which cases the Expenses of Indemnitee’s separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Corporation. The Corporation shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Proceeding brought by or on behalf of Corporation or as to which Indemnitee shall have made the conclusion provided for in (ii) above; and
(c) Provided there has been no Change of Control, the Corporation shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Corporation shall be permitted to settle any Proceeding except that it shall not settle any Proceeding in any manner that would impose any penalty, out-of-pocket liability, or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s written consent.
11. Remedies of Indemnitee.
(a) In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement, (iii) the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 8(b) of this Agreement and such determination shall not have been made and delivered in a written opinion within 90 days after receipt by the Corporation of the request for indemnification, or (iv) payment of indemnification is not made within 20 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 8 or 9 of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication in an appropriate court of the State of Nevada, or in any other court of competent jurisdiction, of his entitlement to such indemnification of advancement of Expenses.
(b) In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 11 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. If a Change of Control shall have occurred, in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 10 the Corporation shall have the burden of proving that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the case may be.
(c) If a determination shall have been made or deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 8 or 9 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Corporation shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 11, 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.
(d) The Corporation shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 11 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court that the Corporation is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.
(e) In the event that Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 11, seeks a judicial adjudication to enforce his rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the Corporation, and shall be indemnified by the Corporation against, any and all expenses (of the types describe in the definition of Expenses in Section 2 of this Agreement) actually and reasonably incurred by him in such judicial adjudication, but only if he prevails therein. If it shall be determined in said judicial adjudication that Indemnitee is entitled to receive part but not all of the indemnification or advancement or expenses sought, the expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with judicial adjudication shall be appropriately prorated.
12. Non-Exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance; Subrogation.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Corporation hereby agrees to indemnify the Indemnitee to the full extent permitted by law, whether or not such indemnification is specifically authorized by the other provisions of this Agreement, the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws, or by statute. In the event of any changes, after the date of this Agreement, in any applicable law, statute, or rule that expand the right of a Nevada corporation to indemnify a member of its board of directors or any officer, such changes shall be, ipso facto, within the purview of Indemnitee's rights, and the Corporation's obligations, under this Agreement. In the event of any changes in any applicable law, statute, or rule that narrow the right of a Nevada corporation to indemnify a member of its board of directors or any officer, such changes, 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.
(b) The indemnification provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled under the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws, any agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, the laws of the State of Nevada, or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.
(c) To the extent that the Corporation maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries of the Corporation or of any other corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which such person serves at the request of the Corporation, 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.
(d) In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Corporation 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 Corporation to bring suit to enforce such rights.
(e) The Corporation 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.
13. Duration of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue until and terminate upon the later of: (a) 10 years after the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director, or (b) the final termination of all pending Proceedings in respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder and of any proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement relating thereto.
14. Exception to Right of Indemnification or Advancement of Expenses. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Agreement with respect to any Proceeding, or any claim therein, brought or made by him against the Corporation.
15. Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Corporation for some or a portion of the Expenses, judgments, fines or penalties actually and reasonably incurred by him in the investigation, defense, appeal or settlement of any Proceeding, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses, judgments, fines or penalties to which Indemnitee is entitled. Moreover, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any or all claims, issues or matters relating in whole or in part to an indemnifiable event, occurrence or matter hereunder, including dismissal without prejudice, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses incurred in connection with such defenses.
16. Effect of Federal Law. Both the Corporation and the Indemnitee acknowledge that in certain instances, federal law will override Nevada law and prohibit the Corporation from indemnifying its officers and directors. For example, the Corporation and Indemnitee acknowledge that the Securities and Exchange Commission has taken the position that indemnification is not permissible for liabilities arising under certain federal securities law, and federal law prohibits indemnification for certain violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.
17. Saving Clause. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to require or shall be construed as requiring the Corporation to do or fail to do any act in violation of applicable law. The provisions of this Agreement (including any provision within a single section, paragraph or sentence) shall be severable in accordance with this Section 17. If this Agreement or any portion thereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee as to Expenses, judgments, fines and penalties with respect to any Proceeding to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Agreement that shall not have been invalidated or by any other applicable law, and this Agreement shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
18. Notice. All notices, request, 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.
