No action (or inaction) taken by the Stockholder or any designee of, or Person affiliated with, the Stockholder who is a director or officer of the Company in their capacity as a director or officer of the Company shall be deemed to constitute a breach of this Agreement.

(h) | Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit such term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision. |
(i) | Construction. |
a. | For purposes of this Agreement, whenever the context requires: (A) the singular number shall include the plural, and vice versa; (B) the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders; (C) the feminine gender shall include the masculine and neuter genders; and (D) the neuter gender shall include the masculine and feminine genders. |
b. | The parties hereto agree that any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. |
c. | As used in this Agreement, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” |
(j) | Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. |
(k) | Counterparts; Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in “portable document format” (“.pdf”) form, or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, or by combination of such means, each of which shall be deemed an original. |
13
(l) | No Recourse. Parent and Merger Sub agree that the Stockholder (in his capacity as a stockholder of the Company) will not be liable for claims, losses, damages, liabilities or other obligations resulting from the Company’s breach of the Merger Agreement. |
(m) | Expenses. Without duplication of the Company’s obligations under Section 12.1 of the SPA, Parent shall pay the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Stockholder (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Stockholder) related to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (including related to any filings under the HSR Act) and/or this Agreement and/or the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and any amendments or waivers hereto, in an amount not to exceed $100,000. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent’s payment of expenses of the Stockholder under this Section 12(m) shall constitute full satisfaction of the Company’s obligations to the Stockholder under Section 12.1 of the SPA with respect to expense reimbursement in connection with the Merger Agreement, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each party shall bear its own expenses in connection with this Agreement. |
(n) | Indemnification. |
(i) Parent (the “Indemnifying Party”) covenants and agrees, on the terms and subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, to indemnify and hold harmless Stockholder and Stockholder’s representatives (each, an “Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all Losses incurred in connection with, arising out of or resulting from any claims, demands, actions, proceedings or investigations (collectively, “Actions”) relating solely to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or this Agreement (including any Actions brought by any of the stockholders, directors, officers or employees of any of Parent or Company relating thereto). For purposes of this Section 12(n), “Losses” means any direct loss, liability, cost, damage or expense (including, without duplication, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, accountants, consultants and other experts) related to an Action for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party will not be obligated to provide indemnity hereunder to any Indemnified Party with respect to any Losses which (x) result from such Indemnified Party’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, (y) result primarily from any breach of any representation and warranty of such Indemnified Party contained in this Agreement or any breach of any covenant or agreement made or to be performed by such Indemnified Party under this Agreement or (z) constitute consequential, indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive or enhanced damages or lost profits.
14
(iii) The Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section 12(n) regardless of whether such Losses are incurred prior to or after the Closing (provided, however, that such indemnification shall only be available in the instance of Losses relating to, incurred in connection with, arising out of or resulting from any Actions relating to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or this Agreement). The indemnification provided pursuant to this Section 12(n) is in addition to, and not in derogation of, and shall not supersede or modify, any other rights an Indemnified Party may have under applicable law, the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company, or pursuant to any contract, agreement or arrangement; provided, however, that Losses will not be duplicated.
(iv) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to defend against, negotiate, settle, or otherwise deal with any third party Action that is or may be subject to indemnification hereunder (each an “Indemnifiable Claim”) (provided that the Indemnifying Party delivers a written confirmation to the Indemnified Party that the indemnification provisions of Section 12(n) are applicable to such Indemnifiable Claim and that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify such Indemnified Party in respect of such Indemnifiable Claim to the extent required by this Section 12(n)) and the Indemnified Party may participate, at his, her or its own expense, in the defense of such Indemnifiable Claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any such Indemnifiable Claim, the Indemnified Party may defend against, negotiate, settle, or otherwise deal with such Indemnifiable Claim, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. Without the prior written consent of each of the Indemnified Parties who are named in the Action subject to the Indemnifiable Claim (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the Indemnifying Party will not settle or compromise or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to any Indemnifiable Claim (or part thereof) unless such settlement, compromise or consent (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Parties, (y) does not include any admission of wrongdoing on the part of such Indemnified Parties and (z) does not require such Indemnified Parties to pay any amount or suffer any loss and does not enjoin or restrict in any way the future actions or conduct of such Indemnified Parties.
