EXHIBIT A

 

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

 

For purposes of this Exhibit A, unless the context otherwise requires, ” Moody Capital” shall include Moody Capital Solutions, Inc, any affiliated entity, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, partners and controlling persons within the meaning of the federal securities laws and the successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the foregoing persons (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”).

 

The Company shall indemnify, defend and hold Moody Capital harmless against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending against any action, claim, suit or proceeding, whether commenced or threatened against Moody Capital, or in appearing or preparing for appearance as a witness), based upon, relating to or arising out of or in connection with advice or services rendered or to be rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the transaction contemplated thereby or Moody Capital’s actions or inactions in connection with any such advice, services or transaction (including, but not limited to, any liability arising out of (i) any misstatement or alleged misstatement of a material fact in any offering materials and (ii) any omission or alleged omission from any offering materials, including, without limitation of a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading), except to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense results solely from the negligence, bad faith, unauthorized actions or willful misconduct of Moody Capital in performing the services which are the subject of the Agreement. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to Moody Capital or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by Moody Capital as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and its stockholders on the one hand and Moody Capital on the other hand, or, if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and Moody Capital, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (as such term has been interpreted under Section 11(f) of the Securities Act of 1933) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Relative benefits to Moody Capital, on the one hand, and the Company and its stockholders, on the other hand, with respect to the engagement shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (i) the total value paid or received by the Company or its stockholders, as the case may be, pursuant to the transaction, bears to (ii) all fees paid to Moody Capital by the Company in connection with the engagement. Moody Capital shall not have any liability to the Company in connection with the engagement, except to the extent of its negligence, bad faith actions, unauthorized actions, its willful misconduct or any other legitimate breach of this Agreement.

 

The Company also agrees to promptly upon demand reimburse Moody Capital for its legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating, preparing to defend, or defending any lawsuits, investigations, claims or other proceedings in connection with any matter referred to in or otherwise contemplated by the Agreement; provided, however, that in the event a final judicial determination is made to the effect that Moody Capital is not entitled to indemnification hereunder, Moody Capital will immediately remit to the Company any amounts that have been so reimbursed.

 

The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim, suit or proceeding (or for any related losses, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses) if such settlement is effectuated without its written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company further agrees that it will not settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened action, claim, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder unless the Company has obtained an unconditional release of Moody Capital, from all liability arising therefrom. The reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to Moody Capital.

 

Any Indemnified Persons that are not signatories to this Agreement shall be deemed to be third party beneficiaries of this Agreement.
