WHEREAS, Director is a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and, in accordance with the Company’s dissolution plan, the Company desires for Director to resign from [his/her] position as a member of the Board; and

 

WHEREAS, in order to induce Director to resign from [his/her] position on the Board, the Company seeks to ensure for Director that he will continue to receive the indemnification he currently receives from the Company as a result of such position as a member of the Board.
