Indemnification.
|
In consideration of Sterne Agee’s agreement to act on behalf of the Company in connection with the matters contemplated by this Agreement, except as otherwise provided herein, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Sterne Agee and its affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents and each other person, if any, controlling Sterne Agee or any of its affiliates (Sterne Agee and each such other person being an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities reasonably related to, arising out of or in connection with, the engagement hereunder, and will reimburse each Indemnified Person for all costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) as they are incurred, in connection with investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending any action, claim, suit, investigation, inquiry or proceeding related to, arising out of or in connection with the engagement hereunder, whether in process, pending, or threatened, and whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party. The Company will not, however, be responsible for losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or fees and expenses relating thereto) that are finally judicially determined to have resulted from the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of any Indemnified Person, in which case Sterne Agee shall also repay any amounts reimbursed by the Company pursuant to the expense reimbursement provision above. The Company also agrees that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Company for or in connection with the engagement hereunder, except for any such liability for losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred by the Company that are finally judicially determined to have resulted solely from the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person.
The Company will not, without Sterne Agee’s prior written consent, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any action, claim, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination does not include a statement or acknowledgment as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person. No Indemnified Person seeking indemnification, reimbursement or contribution under this Agreement will, without the Company’s prior written consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding referred to in the preceding paragraph. Sterne Agee will not enter into any settlement for which the Company could be liable without the Company’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
| -5- |
If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is judicially determined to be unavailable (other than in accordance with the second sentence of the first paragraph hereof) to an Indemnified Person in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, then, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person hereunder, the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (and expenses relating thereto) (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to Sterne Agee, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, of this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not available, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in such clause (i) but also the relative fault of each of Sterne Agee, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, in no event shall Sterne Agee’s aggregate contribution to the amount paid or payable exceed the aggregate amount of fees actually received by Sterne Agee under this Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, the relative benefits to the Company and Sterne Agee hereunder shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (a) the total consideration received or contemplated to be received by the Company in the Offering, whether or not the Offering is consummated, bears to (b) the fees paid to Sterne Agee in connection with the Offering. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
