Indemnification and Directors and Officers Liability Insurance. The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify Executive with respect to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (whether or not such action, suit or proceeding arises or arose by or in the right of the Company or other entity) by reason of the fact that Executive is or was a director or officer of the Company or of any subsidiary of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, general partner, agent or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including service with respect to employee benefit plans), against expenses, (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and costs), judgments, fines (including excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan) and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such director or officer in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, which amounts the Company will advance to Executive as the same are incurred; however, Executive shall repay any expenses paid or reimbursed by the Company if it is ultimately determined by order of a court of competent jurisdiction (without further right of appeal) that Executive is not legally entitled to be indemnified by the Company. If applicable law requires that the Board make an investigation and/or determination of the matter for which indemnification is being sought prior to paying or reimbursing Executive, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the investigation to be made (at the Company’s expense) and to have the Board reach a determination as soon as reasonably possible. During the Employment Term, the Company shall maintain directors and officers liability insurance with coverage limits of at least the amount in effect on the date hereof. The Company’s obligations to indemnify Executive and to advance or reimburse expenses provided by this Section shall continue after the termination of this Agreement or Executive’s employment for any reason. The rights to indemnification and advancement or reimbursement of expenses provided by this Section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Executive may be entitled under any charter, bylaw, other organization document, agreement, vote of shareholders or directors or otherwise.

Indemnification. The Company and the Executive shall enter into an Indemnification Agreement pursuant to which the Company shall indemnify the Executive with respect to any actions commenced against the Executive in his capacity as a director or officer or former director or officer of the Company, or any affiliate thereof for which he may serve in such capacity, and the Company shall advance on a timely basis any expenses incurred in defending such actions. The Company agrees to secure and maintain reasonably satisfactory directors’ and officers’ liability insurance with respect to the Executive. The Executive shall be designated as a “covered person” under the Company’s Director’s and Officer’s insurance coverage and shall be covered to the same extent as other directors and executive officers, including following the termination of the Executive’s employment for the maximum statute of limitations period which could apply to any claim against the Executive which otherwise would be covered by such insurance.

The Employer shall provide Executive (including his heirs, executors and administrators) with coverage under a standard directorsand officers’ liability insurance policy at its expense, and shall indemnify Executive (and his heirs, executors and administrators) to the fullest extent permitted under federal law against all expenses and liabilities reasonably incurred by him in connection with or arising out of any action, suit or proceeding in which he may be involved by reason of his having been a director or officer of the Employer or the Company (whether or not he continues to be a director or officer at the time of incurring such expenses or liabilities), such expenses and liabilities to include, but not be limited to, judgments, court costs and attorneys’ fees and the cost of reasonable settlements (such settlements must be approved by the Board of Directors of the Employer). If such action, suit or proceeding is brought against Executive in his capacity as an officer or director of the Employer, however, such indemnification shall not extend to matters as to which Executive is finally adjudged to be liable for willful misconduct in the performance of his duties. No Indemnification shall be paid that would violate 12 U.S.C. Section 1828(k) or any regulations promulgated thereunder, if applicable.

Section # Indemnification. In addition to any rights Executive may have under the Company's charter or by-laws, the Company agrees to indemnify Executive and hold Executive harmless, both during the Term and thereafter, against all costs, expenses (including, without limitation, fines, excise taxes and attorneys' and accountants’ fees) and liabilities (other than settlements to which the Company does not consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) (collectively, "Losses") reasonably incurred by Executive in connection with any claim, action, proceeding or investigation brought against or involving Executive with respect to, arising out of or in any way relating to Executive's employment with the Company or Executive's service as a director of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to indemnify Executive for Losses incurred as a result of Executive's intentional misconduct or gross negligence (other than matters where Executive acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in and not opposed to the Company's best interests). Executive shall promptly notify the Company of any claim, action, proceeding or investigation under this paragraph and the Company shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such claim, action, proceeding or investigation and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense with counsel selected by the Company; provided that Executive shall have the right to employ counsel to represent him (at the Company's expense) if Company counsel would have a "conflict of interest" in representing both the Company and Executive. The Company shall not settle or compromise any claim, action, proceeding or investigation without Executive's consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that such consent shall not be required if the settlement entails only the payment of money and the Company fully indemnifies Executive in connection therewith. The Company further agrees to advance any and all expenses (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of counsel) reasonably incurred by the Executive in connection with any such claim, action, proceeding or investigation. The Company currently maintains a policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance covering Executive and, notwithstanding the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, the Company shall maintain a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy covering Executive for a period of time following such expiration or earlier termination equal to the statute of limitations for any claim that may be asserted against Executive for which coverage is available under such directors' and officers' liability insurance policy. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

Indemnification. Company shall defend and indemnify Executive to the fullest extent allowed by law, and to provide him with coverage under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies, in each case on terms not less favorable than those provided to any of its other directors and officers as in effect from time to time. In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the provisions in this Section 12 and any provision in any other indemnity agreement or other agreement between the Parties, the provision in such other agreement shall control.

Indemnification. Executive will be provided with indemnification against third party claims related to his or her work for the Company as required by Delaware law. The Company shall provide Executive with directors and officers liability insurance coverage at least as favorable as that which the Company may maintain from time to time for members of the Board and other executive officers.

Indemnification. Executive shall be entitled to indemnification with respect to Executive’s services provided hereunder pursuant to applicable law, the terms and conditions of Company’s organizational and governing documents, Company’s directors and officers (“D&O”) liability insurance policy, and Company’s standard indemnification agreement for directors and officers as executed by Company and Executive.

Indemnification by the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Executive from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, liabilities, losses, judgments, fines, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and settlement expenses) arising from or relating to his service or status as an officer, director, executive, agent, or representative of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or in any other capacity in which the Executive serves or has served at the request of, or for the benefit of, the Company or its subsidiaries, including but not limited to claims alleged by Executive's former employer regarding solicitation of employees; provided, however, that the Company shall not be responsible to indemnify the Executive for any actions of gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Company's obligations under this Section 10 shall be in addition to, and not in derogation of, any other rights the Executive may have against the Company to indemnification or advancement of expenses, whether by statute, contract or otherwise.
