INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
EXHIBIT 10.1
This INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT is made and executed effective as of the 18th day of
June, 2007, by and between COUSINS PROPERTIES INCORPORATED, a Georgia corporation (the “Company”),
and (NAME), an individual resident of the State of Georgia (the “Indemnitee”).
WHEREAS, the Company is aware that, in order to induce highly competent persons to serve the
Company as directors or officers or in other capacities, the Company must provide such persons with
adequate protection through indemnification against risks of claims and actions against them
arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of the Company;
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has determined that it is essential to the best
interests of the Company’s shareholders that the Company act to assure such persons that there will
be increased certainty of such protection in the future;
WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate
itself to indemnify such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they
will continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified; and
WHEREAS, the Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve, and take on additional service
for or on behalf of the Company on the condition that he/she be so indemnified;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises and covenants
contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby agree as follows:
1. Service by the Indemnitee. The Indemnitee agrees to serve and/or continue to serve as a
director or officer of the Company faithfully and will discharge his/her duties and
responsibilities to the best of his/her ability so long as the Indemnitee is duly elected or
qualified in accordance with the provisions of the Restated and Amended Articles of Incorporation
(as may be amended from time to time, the “Articles”) and Bylaws (as may be amended from time to
time, the “Bylaws”) of the Company, the Georgia Business Corporation Code, as amended (the
“GBCC”), and any other applicable law in effect on the date of this Agreement and from time to
time, or until his/her earlier death, resignation or removal. The Indemnitee may at any time and
for any reason resign from such position (subject to any other contractual obligation or other
obligation imposed by operation by law), in which event the Company shall have no obligation under
this Agreement to continue the employment or directorship of the Indemnitee. Nothing in this
Agreement shall confer upon the Indemnitee the right to continue in the employ of the Company or as
a director of the Company or affect the right of the Company to terminate the Indemnitee’s
employment at any time in the sole discretion of the Company, with or without
cause, subject to any contract rights of the Indemnitee created or existing otherwise than under this Agreement.
2. Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee against all Expenses (as
defined below), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by
the Indemnitee as provided in this Agreement to the fullest extent permitted by the Articles,
Bylaws and GBCC or other applicable law in effect on the date of this Agreement and to any greater
extent that applicable law may in the future from time to time permit.
3. Indemnification for Expenses When Serving on Behalf of the Company. To the extent that the
Indemnitee has served on behalf of or at the request of the Company as a witness or other
participant in any class action or proceeding, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all
Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection therewith, without any
determination pursuant to Section 5.
4. Partial Indemnification. If the Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this
Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the Expenses, judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection
with the investigation, defense, appeal or settlement of a suit, action, investigation or
proceeding covered by Section 2, but is not entitled to indemnification for the total amount
thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses,
judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the
Indemnitee to which the Indemnitee is entitled.
5. Procedure for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification.
(a) The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of a claim for indemnification
from the Indemnitee, advise the Board of Directors in writing that Indemnitee has requested
indemnification. Any Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the Indemnitee’s
request for indemnification hereunder shall be borne by the Company. The Company hereby
indemnifies and agrees to hold the Indemnitee harmless for any Expenses incurred by Indemnitee
under the immediately preceding sentence irrespective of the outcome of the determination of the
Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification.
(b) Upon written request by the Indemnitee for indemnification in connection with the
investigation, defense, appeal or settlement of a suit, action, investigation or proceeding covered
by Section 2, the entitlement of the Indemnitee to indemnification pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement shall be determined by the following person or persons, who shall be empowered to make
such determination: (i) if a Change in Control (as hereinafter defined) shall have occurred, by
Independent Counsel (as hereinafter defined) (unless the Indemnitee shall request in writing that
such determination be made by the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) in the manner
provided for in clause (ii) of this Section 5(b)) in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a
copy of which shall be delivered to the Indemnitee; or (ii) if a Change in Control shall not have
occurred, (A)(1) by the Board of Directors of the Company, by a majority vote of Disinterested
Directors (as hereinafter defined) even though less than a quorum, or (2) by a committee of
Disinterested Directors designated by majority vote of Disinterested Directors,
2
even though less than a quorum, or (B) if there are no such Disinterested Directors or, even if there are such
Disinterested Directors, if the Board of Directors, by the majority vote of Disinterested
Directors, so directs, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board of
Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Indemnitee. Such Independent Counsel shall be
selected by the Board of Directors and approved by the Indemnitee. Upon failure of the Board of
Directors to so select, or upon failure of the Indemnitee to so approve, such Independent Counsel
shall be selected by the judge assigned to the Business Case Division of the Superior Court of
Xxxxxx County, Georgia who has served the longest as a judge for the Superior Court of Xxxxxx
County, Georgia, or such other person as such judge shall designate to make such selection. Such
determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be made not later than 60 days after receipt
by the Company of a written request for indemnification. If the person making such determination
shall determine that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification as to part (but not all) of the
application for indemnification, such person shall reasonably prorate such part of indemnification
among such claims, issues or matters. If it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ten days after such determination.
6. Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings.
(a) In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification, the Indemnitee
shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification hereunder and the Company shall be required to
make any showing necessary to the making of any determination contrary to such presumption.
(b) If the Board of Directors, or such other person or persons empowered pursuant to Section 5
to make the determination of whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, shall have failed
to make a determination as to entitlement to indemnification within 60 days after receipt by the
Company of such request, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be
deemed to have been made and the Indemnitee shall be absolutely entitled to such indemnification,
absent actual fraud in the request for indemnification or a prohibition of indemnification under
applicable law. The termination of any action, suit, investigation or proceeding covered by
Section 2 hereof by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or
its equivalent, shall not, of itself, adversely affect the rights of the Indemnitee to
indemnification, except as may be provided herein.
7. Advancement of Expenses. All reasonable Expenses actually incurred by the Indemnitee in
connection with any threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Company
in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, if so requested by the
Indemnitee, within 20 days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from the
Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances. The Indemnitee may submit such statements from
time to time. The Indemnitee’s entitlement to such Expenses shall include those incurred in
connection with any proceeding by the Indemnitee seeking an adjudication or award in arbitration
pursuant to this Agreement. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses
incurred by the Indemnitee in connection therewith and shall include or be accompanied by a written
affirmation by Indemnitee of Indemnitee’s good faith belief that Indemnitee has met the standard of
conduct necessary for indemnification under the GBCC and an undertaking, executed personally or on
behalf of the Indemnitee, to repay any
3
such amounts if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.
8. Remedies of the Indemnitee in Cases of Determination not to Indemnify or to Advance
Expenses. In the event that a determination is made that the Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification hereunder or if the payment has not been timely made following a determination of
entitlement to indemnification pursuant to Sections 5 and 6, or if Expenses are not advanced
pursuant to Section 7, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to a final adjudication in an appropriate
court of the State of Georgia or any other court of competent jurisdiction of whether the
Indemnitee is entitled to such indemnification or advance. Alternatively, the Indemnitee may, at
the Indemnitee’s option, seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator
pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association, such award to be made within 60 days
following the filing of the demand for arbitration. The Company shall not unreasonably oppose the
Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration or any other claim. Such
judicial proceeding or arbitration shall be made de novo, and the Indemnitee shall not be
prejudiced by reason of a prior determination (if so made) that the Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification. If a determination is made or deemed to have been made pursuant to the terms of
Section 5 or Section 6 hereof that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall
be bound by such determination and shall be precluded from asserting that such determination has
not been made or that the procedure by which such determination was made is not valid, binding and
enforceable. The Company further agrees to stipulate in any such court or before any such
arbitrator that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement and is precluded from
making any assertions to the contrary. If the court or arbitrator shall determine that the
Indemnitee is entitled to any indemnification hereunder, the Company shall pay all reasonable
Expenses actually incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such adjudication or award in
arbitration (including, but not limited to, any appellate proceedings).
9. Notification and Defense of Claim. Promptly after receipt by the Indemnitee of notice of
the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, the Indemnitee will, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company in writing of
the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company
from any liability that it may have to the Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any such action, suit or
proceeding as to which the Indemnitee gives notice to the Company of the commencement thereof:
(a) The Company will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9(b), to the extent that it
may wish, the Company, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified,
shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the Indemnitee. After notice from the Company to the Indemnitee of its election
to so assume the defense thereof, the Company shall not be liable to the Indemnitee
under this Agreement for any legal or other Expenses subsequently incurred by the
Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof
4
other than reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise provided below. The Indemnitee shall have the right
to employ the Indemnitee’s own counsel in such action or lawsuit, but the fees and
Expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Company of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be
at the expense of the Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of counsel by the Indemnitee has
been authorized in writing by the Company, (ii) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably
concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and the
Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such action and such determination by
the Indemnitee shall be supported by an opinion of counsel, which opinion shall be
reasonably acceptable to the Company, or (iii) the Company shall not in fact have
employed counsel to assume the defense of the action, in each of which cases the
fees and Expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the Company. The Company
shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any action, suit or proceeding
brought by or on behalf of the Company or as to which the Indemnitee shall have
reached the conclusion provided for in clause (ii) above.
(c) The Company shall not be liable to indemnify the Indemnitee under this
Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim effected without
its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company
shall not be required to obtain the consent of Indemnitee to settle any action or
claim which the Company has undertaken to defend if the Company assumes full and
sole responsibility for such settlement and such settlement grants Indemnitee a
complete and unqualified release in respect of potential liability.
(d) If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to this
Section 9, the Company has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the
Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the
insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies.
The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such
insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of
such proceeding in accordance with the terms of the policies.
10. Other Right to Indemnification. The indemnification and advancement of Expenses provided
by this Agreement are cumulative, and not exclusive, and are in addition to any other rights to
which the Indemnitee may now or in the future be entitled under any provision of the Bylaws or
Articles of the Company, any vote of shareholders or Disinterested Directors, any provision of law
or otherwise. Except as required by applicable law, the Company shall not adopt any amendment to
its Bylaws or Articles the effect of which would be to deny, diminish or encumber the Indemnitee’s
right to indemnification under this Agreement.
11. Director and Officer Liability Insurance. The Company shall, from time to time, make the
good faith determination whether or not it is practicable for the Company to obtain and maintain a
policy or policies of insurance with reputable insurance companies providing the officers and
directors of the Company with coverage for losses from wrongful acts, or to ensure the Company’s
performance of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement.
5
Among other considerations, the Company will weigh the costs of obtaining such insurance coverage against the protection
afforded by such coverage. In the event the Company maintains directors’ and officers’ liability
insurance, the Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such manner as to provide the Indemnitee the same
rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably insured of the Company’s officers or directors. However,
the Company agrees that the provisions hereof shall remain in effect regardless of whether liability or other insurance
coverage is at any time obtained or retained by the Company; except that any payments made to, or
on behalf of, the Indemnitee under an insurance policy shall reduce the obligations of the Company
hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to obtain or
maintain such insurance if the Company determines in good faith that such insurance is not
reasonably available, if the premium costs for such insurance are disproportionate to the amount of
coverage provided or if the coverage provided by such insurance is limited by exclusions so as to
provide an insufficient benefit.
12. Spousal Indemnification. The Company will indemnify the Indemnitee’s spouse to whom the
Indemnitee is legally married at any time the Indemnitee is covered under the indemnification
provided in this Agreement (even if Indemnitee did not remain married to him or her during the
entire period of coverage) against any pending or threatened action, suit, proceeding or
investigation for the same period, to the same extent and subject to the same standards,
limitations, obligations and conditions under which the Indemnitee is provided indemnification
herein, if the Indemnitee’s spouse (or former spouse) becomes involved in a pending or threatened
action, suit, proceeding or investigation solely by reason of his or her status as Indemnitee’s
spouse, including, without limitation, any pending or threatened action, suit, proceeding or
investigation that seeks damages recoverable from marital community property, jointly-owned
property or property purported to have been transferred from the Indemnitee to his/her spouse (or
former spouse). The Indemnitee’s spouse or former spouse also shall be entitled to advancement of
Expenses to the same extent that Indemnitee is entitled to advancement of Expenses herein. The
Company may maintain insurance to cover its obligation hereunder with respect to Indemnitee’s
spouse (or former spouse) or set aside assets in a trust or escrow fund for that purpose.
13. Intent. This Agreement is intended to be broader than any statutory indemnification
rights applicable in the State of Georgia and shall be in addition to any other rights Indemnitee
may have under the Company’s Articles, Bylaws, applicable law or otherwise. To the extent that a
change in applicable law (whether by statute or judicial decision) permits greater indemnification
by agreement than would be afforded currently under the Company’s Articles, Bylaws, applicable law
or this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties that Indemnitee enjoy by this Agreement the
greater benefits so afforded by such change.
14. Attorney’s Fees and Other Expenses to Enforce Agreement. In the event that the Indemnitee
is subject to or intervenes in any proceeding in which the validity or enforceability of this
Agreement is at issue or seeks an adjudication or award in arbitration to enforce the Indemnitee’s
rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement the Indemnitee, if he/she
prevails in whole or in part in such action, shall be entitled to recover from the Company and
shall be indemnified by the Company against any actual expenses for attorneys’ fees and
disbursements reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee.
6
15. Effective Date. The provisions of this Agreement shall cover claims, actions, suits or
proceedings whether now pending or hereafter commenced and shall be retroactive to cover acts or
omissions or alleged acts or omissions which heretofore have taken place. The
Company shall be liable under this Agreement, to the extent specified in Section 2 hereof, for
all acts and omissions of the Indemnitee while serving as a director and/or officer,
notwithstanding the termination of the Indemnitee’s service, if such act was performed or omitted
to be performed during the term of the Indemnitee’s service to the Company.
16. Duration of Agreement. This Agreement shall survive and continue even though the
Indemnitee may have terminated his/her service as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary
of the Company or as a director, officer, partner, employee, agent or fiduciary of any other
entity, including, but not limited to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company,
employee benefit plan, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or by reason of any act or omission
by the Indemnitee in any such capacity. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its
successors and assigns, including, without limitation, any corporation or other entity which may
have acquired all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or business or into which the
Company may be consolidated or merged, and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee and his/her
spouse, successors, assigns, heirs, devisees, executors, administrators or other legal
representations. The Company shall require any successor or assignee (whether direct or indirect,
by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or
assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Company and the Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same
manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession
or assignment had taken place.
17. Disclosure of Payments. Except as required by any Federal or state securities laws or
other Federal or state law, neither party shall disclose any payments under this Agreement unless
prior approval of the other party is obtained.
18. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held invalid,
illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, (a) the validity, legality and enforceability
of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, all portions of any
Sections of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and (b) to the fullest extent
possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, all portions of any
paragraph of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as
to give effect to the intent manifest by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.
19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more counterparts, each of which
shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.
20. Captions. The captions and headings used in this Agreement are inserted for convenience
