EUROTECH, Ltd.
By: Name:
Title:
EX-10.23.2 - Second Consulting Agreement dated April 25, 2001 between Eurotech,
Ltd. and Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Inc.
EXHIBIT A This Exhibit A is a part 'of and incorporated into that
certain Agreement, dated April 25, 2000, (together with this Exhibit A, this
"Agreement") by and among EUROTECH, Ltd. (together with its subsidiaries and
affiliates, the "Company") and Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Inc.
The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Inc. and
its affiliates, counsel and other professional advisors, and the respective
directors, officers, controlling persons, agents and employees of each of the
foregoing (Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Inc. and all of such other persons collectively, the
"Indemnified Parties"), from and against any losses, claims or proceedings
including stockholder actions, damages, judgments, assessments, investigation
costs, settlement costs, fines, penalties, arbitration awards, other
liabilities, costs, fees and expenses (collectively, "Losses") (i) related to or
arising out of (A) oral or written information provided by the Company, the
Company's employees or other agents, which either the Company or Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx,
Inc. provides to any persons, or (B) other action or failure to act by the
Company, the Company's employees or other agents or Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Inc. at the
Company's request or with the Company's consent, or (ii) otherwise related to or
arising out of the engagement of Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Inc. under this Agreement or
any transaction or conduct in connection therewith, provided that this clause
(ii) shall not apply if it is finally judicially determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction that such Losses arose solely out of the gross negligence
or bad faith of such Indemnified Party. If multiple claims are brought against
an Indemnified Party in an arbitration, with respect to at least one of which
indemnification is permitted under applicable law and provided for under this
Agreement, the Company agrees that any arbitration award shall be conclusively
deemed to be based on claims as to which indemnification is permitted and
provided for, except to the extent the arbitration award expressly states that
the award, or any portion thereof, is based solely on a claim as to which
indemnification is not available.
The Company shall further reimburse any Indemnified Party promptly for,
or at the Indemnified Party's option advance amounts sufficient to cover, any
legal or other fees or expenses as they are incurred (i) in investigating,
preparing or pursuing any action or other proceeding (whether formal or
informal) or threat thereof, whether or not in connection with pending or
threatened litigation or arbitration and whether or not any Indemnified Party is
a party (an "Action") and (ii) in connection with enforcing such Indemnified
Party's rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its rights
under this Exhibit A); provided, however, that in the event it is finally
judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Losses of
such Indemnified Party arose solely out of the gross negligence or bad faith of
such Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party will promptly remit to the
Company any amounts reimbursed or advanced under this paragraph.
The Company shall, if requested by Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Inc., assume the
defense of any such Action including the employment of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Inc. and will not settle, compromise, consent or
otherwise resolve or seek to terminate any pending or threatened Action (whether
or not any Indemnified Party is a party thereto) unless it obtains the prior
written consent of Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Inc. or an express, unconditional release of
each Indemnified Party from all liability relating to such Action and the
engagement of Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Inc. under this Agreement. Any Indemnified Party
shall be entitled to retain separate counsel of its choice and participate in
the defense of any Action in connection with any of the matters to which this
Exhibit A relates, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of such Indemnified Party unless: (i) the Company has failed promptly to
assume the defense and employ counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such
Action (including any impleaded parties) include such Indemnified Party and the
Company, and such Indemnified Person shall have been advised by counsel that
A-1
EX-10.23.2 - Second Consulting Agreement dated April 25, 2001 between Eurotech,
Ltd. and Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Inc.
there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from
or in addition to those available to the Company; provided that the Company
shall not in such event be responsible under this Exhibit A for the fees and
expenses of more than one firm of separate counsel (in addition to local
counsel) in connection with any such Action in the same jurisdiction.
The Company agrees that if any right of any Indemnified Party set forth
in the preceding paragraphs is finally judicially determined to be unavailable
(except by reason of the gross negligence or bad faith of such Indemnified
Party), or is insufficient to hold such Indemnified Party harmless against such
Losses as contemplated herein, then the Company shall contribute to such Losses
(i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Company and its stockholders, on the one hand, and such
Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby, and (ii) if (and only if) the allocation provided in clause
(i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the
relative fault of the Company and such Indemnified Party; provided, however.
that in no event shall the amount, if any, to be contributed by all Indemnified
Parties exceed the amount of the fees actually received by Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Inc.
hereunder. Benefits received (or anticipated to be received) by the Company and
its stockholders shall be deemed to be equal to the aggregate cash consideration
and value of securities or any other property payable, exchangeable or
transferable in any proposed or potential transactions within the scope of this
Agreement, and benefits received by Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Inc. shall be deemed to be
equal to the compensation payable by the Company to Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Inc. in
connection with this Agreement. Relative fault shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether any alleged untrue statement or omission or any
other alleged conduct relates to information provided by the Company or other
conduct by the Company (or the Company's employees or other agents) on the one
hand or by Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Inc. on the other hand. The parties hereto agree that
it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account
the equitable considerations referred to above.
The Company also agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have any
liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the
Company for or in connection with advice or services rendered or to be rendered
by any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement, the transactions
contemplated hereby or any Indemnified Party's actions or inactions in
connection with any such advice, services or transactions except for Losses of
the Company that are finally judicially determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to have arisen solely out of the gross negligence or bad faith of
such Indemnified Party in connection with any such advice, actions, inactions or
services.
The rights of the Indemnified Parties hereunder shall be in addition to
any other rights that any Indemnified Party may have at common law, by statute
or otherwise. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Exhibit A, if
any term, provision, covenant or restriction contained in this Exhibit A is held
by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void,
unenforceable or against its regulatory policy, the remainder of the terms,
provisions, covenants and restrictions contained in this agreement all remain in
full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.
The reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of the Company set
forth herein shall apply to any modification of this Agreement and shall remain
in full force and effect regardless of any termination of, or the completion of
any Indemnified Person's services under or in connection with, this Agreement.
