AGREEMENT

1. DEFINITIONS.

(a) Expenses. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Expenses” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, all direct and indirect costs of any type or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, all attorneys’, witness, or other professional fees and related disbursements, and other out-of-pocket costs of whatever nature), actually and reasonably incurred by Agent in connection with the investigation, defense or appeal of a Proceeding or establishing or enforcing a right to indemnification under this Agreement, the Companies Law, the Code or otherwise, and amounts paid in settlement by or on behalf of Agent, but shall not include any judgments, fines or penalties actually levied against Agent for such individual’s violations of law.

(b) Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”)), other than a trustee or other

1.

fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or a corporation owned directly or indirectly by the shareholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company, becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than twenty percent (20%) of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding Voting Securities; or (ii) there is consummated a merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving (directly or indirectly) the Company if, immediately after the consummation of such merger, consolidation or similar transaction, the shareholders of the Company immediately prior thereto do not own, directly or indirectly, either (A) outstanding Voting Securities representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined outstanding voting power of the surviving entity in such merger, consolidation or similar transaction or (B) more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined outstanding voting power of the parent of the surviving entity in such merger, consolidation or similar transaction.

(c) Proceeding. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Proceeding” shall mean and shall include, without limitation, any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing, whether brought in the right of or by the Company or otherwise and whether of a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative nature, and whether formal or informal in any case, in which Agent was, is or will be involved as a party or otherwise by reason of the fact that: (i) Agent is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company; (ii) Agent took an action while acting as director, officer, employee or agent of the Company; or (iii) Agent is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, and in any such case described above, whether or not serving in any such capacity at the time any Expense is incurred for which indemnification, reimbursement, or advancement of Expenses may be provided under this Agreement.

(d) Voting Securities. For purposes of this Agreement, “Voting Securities” shall mean any securities of the Company that vote generally in the election of directors.

2. SERVICES TO THE COMPANY. Agent will serve, at the will of the Company or under separate contract, if any such contract exists, as a director, officer, or employee of the Company or as a director, officer or other fiduciary of an affiliate of the Company (including, but not limited to, any employee benefit plan of the Company) faithfully and to the best of Agent’s ability so long as Agent is duly elected and qualified in accordance with the provisions of the Articles or other applicable charter documents of the Company or such affiliate; provided, however, that Agent may at any time and for any reason resign from such position (subject to any contractual obligation that Agent may be subject to apart from this Agreement) and that the Company or any affiliate shall have no obligation under this Agreement to continue Agent in any such position.

3. INDEMNITY OF AGENT. The Company hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Agent with respect to any Proceeding or other matter to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by the provisions of the Articles and the Companies Law, the Code or other applicable law, as the same may be amended from time to time (but, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than the Articles,

2.

the Companies Law or the Code permitted prior to adoption of such amendment). These obligations and the other obligations of the Company in this Agreement apply regardless of whether the conduct giving rise to the obligations occurred before or occur after the date this Agreement is executed.

4. PARTIAL INDEMNIFICATION. Agent shall be entitled under this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for a portion of the Expenses that Agent becomes legally obligated to pay in connection with any Proceeding even if not entitled hereunder to indemnification for the total amount thereof, and the Company shall indemnify Agent for the portion thereof to which Agent is entitled.

5. NOTIFICATION AND DEFENSE OF CLAIM. Not later than thirty (30) days after receipt by Agent of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding, Agent will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability which it may have to Agent under this Agreement or otherwise. With respect to any such Proceeding as to which Agent notifies the Company of the commencement thereof:

(a) the Company will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense;

(b) except as otherwise provided below, the Company may, at its option and jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified and electing to assume such defense, assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Agent. After notice from the Company to Agent of its election to assume the defense thereof, the Company will not be liable to Agent under this Agreement for any Expenses subsequently incurred by Agent in connection with the defense thereof except for reasonable costs of investigation or otherwise as provided below. Agent shall have the right to employ separate counsel in such Proceeding but the Expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Company of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of Agent; provided, however, that the Expenses of Agent’s separate counsel shall be borne by the Company if (i) the employment of counsel by Agent has been authorized by the Company, (ii) Agent reasonably shall have concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Agent in the conduct of the defense of such Proceeding, or (iii) the Company in fact shall not have employed counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding or shall at any time have ceased to actively pursue the defense thereof. The Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Company or as to which Agent shall have made the conclusion provided for in clause (ii) above; and

(c) the Company shall not be liable to indemnify Agent under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Company shall be permitted to settle any Proceeding except that it shall not settle any Proceeding in any manner which would impose any penalty or limitation on Agent without Agent’s written consent, which may be given or withheld in Agent’s sole discretion.

3.

6. EXPENSES. Promptly following request by Agent for the advancement of Expenses, the Company shall advance, prior to the final disposition of any Proceeding, all Expenses incurred by Agent in connection with such Proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of Agent to repay such amounts if it shall ultimately be determined by a final judicial decision from which there is no further right of appeal that Agent is not entitled to be indemnified.

7. ENFORCEMENT. Any right to indemnification or advances granted by this Agreement to Agent shall be enforceable by or on behalf of Agent in any court of competent jurisdiction if (a) the claim for indemnification or advances is denied, in whole or in part, or (b) no disposition of such claim is made within ninety (90) days of request therefor. Agent, in such enforcement action, if successful in whole or in part, also shall be entitled to be paid the Expense of prosecuting Agent’s claim. Neither the failure of the Company (including its Board of Directors or its shareholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such enforcement action that indemnification of Agent is proper in the circumstances, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its Board of Directors or its shareholders) that such indemnification is improper shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Agent is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise.

8. INSURANCE. [Note to draft: This provision should be removed for non-officer employees]

(a) Unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors at any time prior to a Change in Control, the Company shall obtain and maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”) with respect to which Agent shall be named as an insured. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify the Agent for Expenses which have been previously paid directly to the Agent by D&O Insurance. If the Company has D&O Insurance in effect at the time the Company receives from Agent any notice of the commencement of a Proceeding, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the policy. The Company shall thereafter take all reasonably necessary action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Agent, all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policy.

(b) In the event that (i) the Company obtains a new D&O Insurance policy for any period following the termination of the prior D&O Insurance, and such new D&O Insurance policy does not provide for prior acts coverage, or (ii) the Company does not obtain a new D&O Insurance policy following the termination of a prior D&O Insurance policy (in either case, only if Agent is insured under the prior D&O Insurance policy), then unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors at any time prior to a Change in Control, the Company shall add to the D&O Insurance policy or the applicable successor D&O Insurance policy a run-off endorsement (the “Endorsement”) on the existing D&O Insurance policy or the applicable successor D&O Insurance policy subject to the same terms and conditions in all material respects. Unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors prior to the date on which the Endorsement is obtained, the Endorsement shall be non-cancelable and shall provide for at least a six-year extended coverage period for any and all claims covered under the D&O Insurance policy. The

4.

Company shall pay all premiums, commissions and other costs or charges incurred in obtaining the Endorsement and shall promptly deliver to Agent a Certificate of Confirmation of Insurance with respect to such Endorsement.

9. SUBROGATION. [Note: Include language in brackets only for directors who are representatives of investment firms, and include the proper name of the investment fund.] [The Company hereby acknowledges that Agent has certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by [Name of Fund] and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the “Fund Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees (i) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to Agent are primary and any obligation of the Fund Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by Agent are secondary), (ii) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by Agent and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement and the Articles (or any other agreement between the Company and Agent), without regard to any rights Agent may have against the Fund Indemnitors, and, (iii) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Fund Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Fund Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Fund Indemnitors on behalf of Agent with respect to any claim for which Agent has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Fund Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of Agent against the Company. The Company and Agent agree that the Fund Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 9.] In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Agent [other than against the Fund Indemnitors], and Agent shall execute all documents required and shall do all acts that may be reasonably necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

10. NON-EXCLUSIVITY AND SURVIVAL OF RIGHTS.

(a) All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period Agent is a director, officer, employee or other agent of the Company (or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or other agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise) and shall continue thereafter so long as Agent shall be subject to any possible Proceeding. The benefits hereunder shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators and assigns of Agent. The rights conferred on Agent by this Agreement shall not be exclusive of any other right Agent may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Articles, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in Agent’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office.

(b) The obligations and duties of the Company to Agent under this Agreement shall be binding on the Company and its successors and assigns until terminated in accordance with its terms. The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to the Company or to all or substantially all of the

5.

business or assets of the Company, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

(c) No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Agent under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Agent prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in the Companies Law, the Code or other applicable law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the Articles and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Agent shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, by Agent shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy by Agent.

11. SEVERABILITY. Each of the provisions of this Agreement is a separate and distinct agreement and independent of the others, so that if any provision hereof shall be held to be invalid for any reason, such invalidity contained herein or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. Furthermore, if this Agreement shall be invalidated in its entirety on any ground, then the Company nevertheless shall indemnify Agent to the fullest extent provided by the Articles, the Companies Law, the Code or any other applicable law.

12. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed exclusively by and construed according to the laws of the State of Delaware, as applied to contracts between Delaware residents entered into and to be performed entirely within Delaware.

13. AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, WAIVER AND TERMINATION. No amendment, modification, termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless signed in writing by both parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

14. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement; provided, however, that this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Articles, the Companies Law, the Code and any other applicable law, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefore, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Agent thereunder.

15. INTERPRETATION OF AGREEMENT. It is understood that the parties hereto intend this Agreement to be interpreted and enforced so as to provide indemnification to Agent to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by law.

6.
