Exhibit A
Indemnification Agreement

The following provisions regarding indemnification are an integral part of the Agreement (the "Agreement") to which they are attached between GCC Capital Group, LLC, and the Company named therein.  Capitalized terms used but not defined below have the meanings given to them in the Agreement.

Indemnification by the Company

In connection with the services which GCC Capital Group, LLC have agreed to render to the Company in the Agreement, the Company shall indemnify GCC Capital Group, LLC, each of its directors, officers, employees, and agents and each person, if any, who controls GCC Capital Group, LLC within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and hold GCC Capital Group, LLC harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law against any and all losses, claims, damages, and liabilities (and actions in respect thereof) to which GCC Capital Group, LLC may become subject in connection with (i) GCC Capital Group, LLC use of information contained in the Memorandum that is materially inaccurate or alleged to be materially inaccurate in any respect (as a result of misrepresentation, omission, failure to update or otherwise) that is provided to GCC Capital Group, LLC by the Company or its representatives, agents, or GCC Capital Group, LLC, regardless of whether GCC Capital Group, LLC knew or should have known of such inaccuracy, (ii) the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Company contained in the Agreement, or (iii) any other aspect of the rendering by GCC Capital Group, LLC of services under the Agreement, unless it is finally judicially determined that losses, claims, damages, or liabilities relating thereto were incurred solely as a result of the bad faith, intentional wrongdoing, gross negligence or willful misconduct of GCC Capital Group, LLC.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to indemnify GCC Capital Group, LLC for matters for which the Company is indemnified by GCC Capital Group, LLC hereafter.

Indemnification by GCC Capital Group, LLC

GCC Capital Group, LLC shall indemnify the Company and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, and hold such persons harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law, against any and all losses, claims, damages, and liabilities (and actions in respect thereof) to which such person may become subject if such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Memorandum (as amended or supplemented) or the omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of GCC Capital Group, LLC specifically for inclusion therein, or (ii) any known violation by GCC Capital Group, LLC of the provisions of Rule 502(c) of Regulation D.

Notice of Indemnification

Each party hereto agrees that, upon the service of a summons or other initial legal process upon it in any action or suit instituted against it, or upon receipt of written notification of the commencement of any investigation or inquiry of, or proceeding against, it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, it will promptly give written notice (the "Notice") of such service or notification to the party or parties from whom indemnification may be sought hereunder.  No indemnification otherwise provided for hereunder shall be available to any party who shall fail so to give the Notice if the party to whom such Notice was not given was unaware of the action, suit, investigation, inquiry or proceeding to which the Notice would have related and was prejudiced by the failure to give the Notice, but the omission so to notify such indemnifying party or parties of any such service or notification shall not relieve such indemnifying party or parties from any liability which it or they may have to the indemnified party for contribution or otherwise than on account of such indemnity agreement.

 
 

 

Defense by Indemnifying Party

Any indemnifying party shall be entitled at its own expense to participate in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding against, or investigation or inquiry of, an indemnified party.  Any indemnifying party shall be entitled, if it so elects by giving written notice (the "Notice of Defense") to the indemnified party within a reasonable time after receipt of the Notice, to assume (alone or in conjunction with any other indemnifying party or parties) the entire defense of such action, suit, investigation, inquiry or proceeding, in which event such defense shall be conducted, at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties, by counsel chosen by such indemnifying party or parties and reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or parties; provided, however, that (i) if the indemnified party or parties reasonably determine that there may be a conflict between the positions of the indemnifying party or parties and of the indemnified party or parties in conducting the defense of such action, suit, investigation, inquiry or proceeding or that there may be legal defenses available to such indemnified party or parties different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party or parties, then counsel for the indemnified party or parties shall be entitled to conduct the defense to the extent reasonably determined by such counsel to be necessary to protect the interests of the indemnified party or parties, and (ii) in any event, the indemnified party or parties shall be entitled to have counsel chosen by such indemnified party or parties participate in, but not  conduct, the defense.

If, within a reasonable time after receipt of the Notice, an indemnifying party gives a Notice of Defense, and counsel chosen by the indemnifying party or parties is reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or parties, the indemnifying party or parties will not be liable for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party or parties in connection with the defense of the action, suit, investigation, inquiry or proceeding, except that (x) the indemnifying party or parties shall bear the legal and other expenses incurred in connection with the conduct of the defense as referred to in clause (i) of the proviso to the preceding paragraph, and (y) the indemnifying party or parties shall bear such other expenses as it or they have authorized to be incurred by the indemnified party or parties.  If, within a reasonable time after the receipt of the Notice, no Notice of Defense has been given, the indemnifying party or parties shall be responsible for any legal or other expenses incurred by the indemnified party or parties in connection with the defense of the action, suit, investigation, inquiry or proceeding.  The indemnifying party shall not be liable for settlement of any such action effected without its written consent, but if settled with its written consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party shall indemnify with respect to such settlement or judgment.

Contribution if Indemnification Not Available

If for any reason the foregoing indemnity is unavailable to the indemnified party or insufficient to hold the indemnified party harmless, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such claims, liabilities, losses, damages or expenses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on the other hand, but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any relevant equitable considerations.  Notwithstanding any contrary provisions in this agreement, the aggregate contribution of GCC Capital Group, LLC to all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses shall not exceed the amount of fees actually received by GCC Capital Group, LLC pursuant to its engagement by the Company.  It is hereby further agreed that the relative benefits to the Company, on the one hand, and Placement Agent, on the other hand, with respect to the transaction contemplated in the Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (i) the net proceeds actually received by the Company resulting from the sale of the Securities bears to (ii) the fees paid to Placement Agent with respect to such sale.  The indemnifying party agrees that its indemnification commitments herein set forth shall apply whether or not the indemnified party is a formal party to any such actions or other proceedings, that such commitments shall be in addition to any liability that the indemnifying party may have to the indemnified party at common law or otherwise, and that such commitments shall survive any termination of the Agreement.

 
 

 

Survival and Effect

This indemnity agreement and the representations and warranties of the parties contained in the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of GCC Capital Group, LLC, and shall survive any termination of such Agreement or the issuance and delivery of the Securities.
