5. INDEMNIFICATION.

5.1 Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, Smith agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates and controlling persons (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and each of its officers, managers, members, partners, directors, stockholders, employees, representatives and agents (all such persons and entities being collectively referred to as the “Indemnified Parties”) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law from and against any and all claims, losses (including any diminution in value of the Conversion Stock or the Convertible Note acquired by Smith), demands, actions, causes of action, assessments, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses, including without limitation interest, penalties, fines, fees, deficiencies, claims of damage, court and arbitration costs and fees and disbursements of attorneys, accountants, consultants and other experts as and when incurred or sustained by any Indemnified Party (collectively, “Loss”) as a result of or arising from (i) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by Smith in or pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) any actions

or proceedings by a third party against the Company in connection with or as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The rights accorded to Indemnified Parties under this Section 5.1 shall be in addition to any rights and remedies that any Indemnified Party may have at law or in equity, by separate agreement or otherwise. Payment of amounts due under this indemnity provision shall be made promptly upon demand by the Indemnified Party, as and when incurred, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Indemnified Party.

5.2 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.

(a) If any proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Party with respect to any proceeding in connection with any matter subject to indemnification under Section 5.1, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof (with such assumption being an acknowledgement that such proceeding is indemnifiable pursuant to Section 5.1), including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

(b) An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; or (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such proceeding; or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(c) All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section 5) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten (10) business days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).
