If the Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for a portion of\nthe Expenses, judgments, fines, interest or penalties, or excise taxes assessed with respect to any employee benefit or welfare plan, which are actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in the investigation, defense, appeal or settlement of\nany Proceeding, but not, however, for the total amount of the Indemnitee\u0092s Expenses, judgments, fines, interest or penalties, or excise taxes assessed with respect to any employee benefit or welfare plan, then the Company shall nevertheless\nindemnify the Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses, judgments, fines, interest penalties or excise taxes to which the Indemnitee is entitled. <\/p>  <p>7. <i>Advancement of Expenses<\/i>. The Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in any Proceeding shall be paid promptly by the Company in advance of the final\ndisposition of the Proceeding at the written request of the Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law; <i>provided, however<\/i>, that the Indemnitee shall set forth in such request reasonable evidence that such Expenses have been\nincurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding, a statement that such Expenses do not relate to any matter described in subparagraph 9(a) of this Agreement, and an undertaking in writing to repay any advances if it is ultimately\ndetermined as provided in subparagraph 8(b) of this Agreement that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement. <\/p>  <p>8. <i>Indemnification Procedure; Determination of Right to Indemnification<\/i>. <\/p>  <p>(a) Promptly after receipt by the Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding, the Indemnitee\nshall, if a claim for indemnification or advancement of Expenses in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement thereof in writing. The omission to so notify the Company will not\nrelieve the Company from any liability which the Company may have to the Indemnitee under this Agreement unless the Company shall have lost significant substantive or procedural rights with respect to the defense of any Proceeding as a result of\nsuch omission to so notify. <\/p>  <p>(b) The\nIndemnitee shall be conclusively presumed to have met the relevant standards of conduct, if any, as defined by applicable law, for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement and shall be absolutely entitled to such indemnification, unless a\ndetermination by clear and convincing evidence is made that the Indemnitee has not met such standards by (i) the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum thereof consisting of Disinterested \n\n<\/p> \n <p align=\"center\">4 <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n <p>\nDirectors, (ii) the stockholders of the Company by majority vote of a quorum thereof consisting of stockholders who are not parties to the Proceeding due to\nwhich a claim for indemnification is made under this Agreement, (iii) Independent Legal Counsel as set forth in a written opinion (it being understood that such Independent Legal Counsel shall make such determination only if the quorum of\nDisinterested Directors referred to in clause (i) of this subparagraph 8(b) is not obtainable or if the Board of Directors of the Company by a majority vote of a quorum thereof consisting of Disinterested Directors so directs), or (iv) a court of\ncompetent jurisdiction; <i>provided, however<\/i>, that if a Change of Control shall have occurred and the Indemnitee so requests in writing, such determination shall be made only by a court of competent jurisdiction. <\/p>  <p>(c) If a claim for indemnification or advancement of Expenses\nunder this Agreement is not paid by the Company within 30 days after receipt by the Company of written notice thereof, the rights provided by this Agreement shall be enforceable by the Indemnitee in any court of competent jurisdiction. Such judicial\nproceeding shall be made <i>de novo<\/i>. The burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence that indemnification or advances are not appropriate shall be on the Company. Neither the failure of the directors or stockholders of the Company or\nIndependent Legal Counsel to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification or advancement of Expenses is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, if any,\nnor an actual determination by the directors or stockholders of the Company or Independent Legal Counsel that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct shall be a defense to an action by the Indemnitee or create a presumption for\nthe purpose of such an action that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of\nitself (i) create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company and\/or its stockholders, and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that the\nIndemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful or (ii) otherwise adversely affect the rights of the Indemnitee to indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Agreement, except as may be provided herein. The\nCompany further agrees to stipulate in any such judicial proceeding that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement and is precluded from making any assertion to the contrary. <\/p>  <p>(d) If a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine\nthat the Indemnitee is entitled to any indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder, the Company shall pay all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such adjudication (including, but not limited to,\nany appellate proceedings). The Indemnitee\u0092s Expenses incurred in connection with any Proceeding concerning the Indemnitee\u0092s right to indemnification or advancement of Expenses in whole or in part pursuant to this Agreement shall also be\nindemnified by the Company, regardless of the outcome of such a Proceeding, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the Company\u0092s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended. <\/p>  <p>(e) With respect to any Proceeding for which indemnification\nor advancement of Expenses is requested, the Company will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense and, except as otherwise provided below, to the extent that it may wish, the Company may assume the defense thereof, with counsel\nreasonably satisfactory to the \n\n<\/p> \n <p align=\"center\">5 <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n <p>\nIndemnitee. After notice from the Company to the Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of a Proceeding, the Company will not be liable to the\nIndemnitee under this Agreement for any Expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof, other than as provided below. The Company shall not settle any Proceeding in any manner which would impose any penalty\nor limitation on the Indemnitee without the Indemnitee\u0092s written consent. The Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his own counsel in any Proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Company of its\nassumption of the defense of the Proceeding shall be at the expense of the Indemnitee, unless (i) the employment of counsel by the Indemnitee has been authorized by the Company, (ii) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a\nconflict of interest between the Company and the Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of a Proceeding, or (iii) the Company shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of a proceeding, in each of which cases the fees and\nexpenses of the Indemnitee\u0092s counsel shall be advanced by the Company. 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 the Indemnitee has reasonably concluded that\nthere may be a conflict of interest between the Company and the Indemnitee. <\/p>  <p>9. <i>Limitations on Indemnification<\/i>. No payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be made by the Company: <\/p>  <p>(a) To indemnify or advance funds to the Indemnitee for Expenses with respect to (i) Proceedings initiated or brought voluntarily by the\nIndemnitee and not by way of defense, except with respect to Proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under this Agreement or any other statute or law or otherwise as required under applicable law or (ii) Expenses\nincurred by the Indemnitee in connection with preparing to serve or serving, prior to a Change in Control, as a witness in cooperation with any party or entity who or which has threatened or commenced any action or proceeding against the Company, or\nany director, officer, employee, trustee, agent, representative, subsidiary, parent corporation or affiliate of the Company, but such indemnification or advancement of Expenses in each such case may be provided by the Company if the Board of\nDirectors finds it to be appropriate; <\/p>  <p>(b) To\nindemnify the Indemnitee for any Expenses, judgments, fines, interest or penalties, or excise taxes assessed with respect to any employee benefit or welfare plan, and sustained in any Proceeding for which payment is actually made to the Indemnitee\nunder a valid and collectible insurance policy, except in respect of any excess beyond the amount of payment under such insurance; <\/p>  <p>(c) To indemnify the Indemnitee for any Expenses, judgments, fines, expenses or penalties sustained in any Proceeding for an accounting of\nprofits made from the purchase or sale by the Indemnitee of securities of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Act or similar provisions of any federal, state or local statute or regulation; <\/p>  <p>(d) To indemnify the Indemnitee for any Expenses, judgments,\nfines, interest or penalties, or excise taxes assessed with respect to any employee benefit or welfare plan, for which the Indemnitee is indemnified by the Company otherwise than pursuant to this Agreement; <\/p> \n\n <p align=\"center\">6 <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n <p>(e) To indemnify the Indemnitee for any Expenses (including without limitation any\nExpenses relating to a Proceeding attempting to enforce this Agreement), judgments, fines, interest or penalties, or excise taxes assessed with respect to any employee benefit or welfare plan, on account of the Indemnitee\u0092s conduct if such\nconduct shall be finally adjudged to have been knowingly fraudulent, deliberately dishonest or willful misconduct, including, without limitation, breach of the duty of loyalty; or <\/p>  <p>(f) If a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines that any indemnification hereunder is unlawful.\n<\/p>  <p>10. <i>Continuation of Indemnification<\/i>. All agreements and\nobligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period that the Indemnitee is a director of the Company (or is or was serving at the request of the Company as an agent of another enterprise, foreign or domestic) and shall\ncontinue thereafter so long as the Indemnitee shall be subject to any possible Proceeding by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee was a director of the Company or serving in any other capacity referred to in this Paragraph 10. <\/p>  <p>11. <i>Indemnification Hereunder Not Exclusive<\/i>.

Upon the sale of all or\nsubstantially all of the business, assets or capital stock of the Company to, or upon the merger of the Company into or with, any corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other person, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be\nbinding upon both the Indemnitee and such purchaser or successor person. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement may not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other party hereto. <\/p>  <p>(b) If the Indemnitee is deceased and is entitled to\nindemnification under any provision of this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee\u0092s estate and the Indemnitee\u0092s spouse, heirs, executors, administrators and assigns against, and the Company shall, and does hereby agree to\nassume, any and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by or for the Indemnitee or the Indemnitee\u0092s estate, in connection with the investigation, defense, appeal or settlement of any Proceeding. Further, when requested in writing by the\nspouse of the Indemnitee, and\/or the Indemnitee\u0092s heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, the Company shall provide appropriate evidence of the Company\u0092s agreement set out herein to indemnify the Indemnitee against and to itself\nassume such Expenses. <\/p>  <p>13. <i>Subrogation<\/i>.
