INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
This
Indemnification Agreement ("AGREEMENT") is entered into as of the 31st day
of
December, 2006 by and between FINANCIAL SYSTEMS GROUP, INC., a Delaware
corporation (the "COMPANY") and XXXXX XXXXXXX ("INDEMNITEE").
RECITALS
A.
The
Company and Indemnitee recognize the continued difficulty in obtaining liability
insurance for its directors, officers, employees, agents and fiduciaries, the
significant increases in the cost of such insurance and the general reductions
in the coverage of such insurance.
B.
The
Company and Indemnitee further recognize the substantial increase in corporate
litigation in general, subjecting directors, officers, employees, agents and
fiduciaries to expensive litigation risks at the same time as the availability
and coverage of liability insurance has been severely limited.
C.
Indemnitee does not regard the current protection available as adequate under
the present circumstances, and Indemnitee and other directors, officers,
employees, agents and fiduciaries of the Company may not be willing to continue
to serve in such capacities without additional protection.
D.
The
Company desires to attract and retain the services of highly qualified
individuals, such as Indemnitee, to serve the Company and, in part, in order
to
induce Indemnitee to continue to provide services to the Company, wishes to
provide for the indemnification and advancing of expenses to Indemnitees to
the
maximum extent permitted by law.
E.
In
view of the considerations set forth above, the Company desires that Indemnitee
be indemnified by the Company as set forth herein.
NOW,
THEREFORE, the Company and Indemnitee hereby agree as follows:
1.
Indemnification.
(a)
Indemnification of Expenses. The Company shall indemnify to the fullest extent
permitted by law if Indemnitee was or is or becomes a party to or witness or
other participant in, or are threatened to be made a party to or witness or
other participant in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit,
proceeding or alternative dispute resolution mechanism, or any hearing, inquiry
or investigation that Indemnitee in good faith believes might lead to the
institution of any such action, suit, proceeding or alternative dispute
resolution mechanism, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative
or
other (hereinafter a "CLAIM") by reason of (or arising in part out of) any
event
or occurrence related to the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer,
employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company, or any subsidiary of the Company,
or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer,
employee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action or inaction on the part
of
Indemnitee while serving in such capacity (hereinafter an "INDEMNIFIABLE EVENT")
against any and all expenses (including attorneys' fees and all other costs,
expenses and obligations incurred in connection with investigating, defending,
being a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing
to
defend, be a witness in or participate in, any such action, suit, proceeding,
alternative dispute resolution mechanism, hearing, inquiry or investigation),
judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement
is approved in advance by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld) of such Claim and any federal, state, local or foreign taxes imposed
on Indemnitees as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments
under
this Agreement (collectively, hereinafter "EXPENSES"), including all interest,
assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect
of such Expenses. Such payment of Expenses shall be made by the Company as
soon
as practicable but in any event no later than twenty days after written demand
by Indemnitees therefor is presented to the Company.
(b)
Reviewing Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the obligations of the
Company under Section 1(a) shall be subject to the condition that the Reviewing
Party (as described in Section 10(e) hereof) shall not have determined (in
a
written opinion, in any case in which the Independent Legal Counsel referred
to
in Section 1(c) hereof is involved) that Indemnitee would not be permitted
to be
indemnified under applicable law, and (ii) the obligation of the Company to
make
an advance payment of Expenses to Indemnitee pursuant to Section 2(a) (an
"EXPENSE ADVANCE") shall be subject to the condition that, if, when and to
the
extent that the Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee would not be
permitted to be so indemnified under applicable law, the Company shall be
entitled to be reimbursed by Indemnitee (who hereby agree to reimburse the
Company) for all such amounts theretofore paid; provided, however, that if
Indemnitee has commenced or thereafter commenced legal proceedings in a court
of
competent jurisdiction to secure a determination that Indemnitee should be
indemnified under applicable law, any determination made by the Reviewing Party
that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law
shall not be binding and Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the
Company for any Expense Advance until a final judicial determination is made
with respect thereto (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been
exhausted or lapsed). The Indemnitee's obligation to reimburse the Company
for
any Expense Advance shall be unsecured and no interest shall be charged thereon.
If there has not been a Change in Control (as defined in Section 10(c) hereof),
the Reviewing Party shall be selected by the Board of Directors, and if there
has been such a Change in Control (other than a Change in Control which has
been
approved by a majority of the Company's Board of Directors who were directors
immediately prior to such Change in Control), the Reviewing Party shall be
the
Independent Legal Counsel referred to in Section 1(c) hereof. If there has
been
no determination by the Reviewing Party or if the Reviewing Party determines
that Indemnitee substantively would not be permitted to be indemnified in whole
or in part under applicable law, Indemnitee shall have the right to commence
litigation seeking an initial determination by the court or challenging any
such
determination by the Reviewing Party or any aspect thereof, including the legal
or factual bases therefor, and the Company hereby consents to service of process
and to appear in any such proceeding. Any determination by the Reviewing Party
otherwise shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and
Indemnitee.
1
(c)
Change in Control. The Company agrees that if there is a Change in Control
of
the Company (other than a Change in Control which has been approved by a
majority of the Company's Board of Directors who were directors immediately
prior to such Change in Control) then, with respect to all matters thereafter
arising concerning the rights of Indemnitees to payments of Expenses and Expense
Advances under this Agreement or any other agreement or under the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws as now or hereafter in effect,
Independent Legal Counsel (as defined in Section 10(d) hereof) shall be selected
by Indemnitees and approved by the Company (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld). Such counsel, among other things, shall render its
written opinion to the Company and Indemnitee as to whether and to what extent
Indemnitee would be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law and the
Company agrees to abide by such opinion. The Company agrees to pay the
reasonable fees of the Independent Legal Counsel referred to above and to fully
indemnify such counsel against any and all expenses (including attorneys' fees),
claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement
or
its engagement pursuant hereto.
(d)
Mandatory Payment of Expenses. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement other than Section 9 hereof, to the extent that Indemnitee has been
successful on the merits or otherwise, including, without limitation, the
dismissal of an action without prejudice, in defense of any action, suit,
proceeding, inquiry or investigation referred to in Section (1)(a) hereof or
in
the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, Indemnitee shall be
indemnified against all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection
therewith.
2.
Expenses; Indemnification Procedure.
(a)
Advancement of Expenses. The Company shall advance all Expenses incurred by
Indemnitee. The advances to be made hereunder shall be paid by the Company
to
Indemnitee as soon as practicable but in any event no later than twenty days
after written demand by Indemnitee therefor to the Company.
(b)
Notice/Cooperation by Indemnitee. Indemnitee shall, as a condition precedent
to
Indemnitee's right to be indemnified under this Agreement, give the Company
notice in writing as soon as practicable of any Claim made against Indemnitee
for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement. Notice
to the Company shall be directed to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company
at the address shown on the signature page of this Agreement (or such other
address as the Company shall designate in writing to Indemnitee). In addition,
Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and cooperation as it may
reasonably require and as shall be within Indemnitee's power.
2
(c)
No
Presumptions; Burden of Proof. For purposes of this Agreement, the termination
of any Claim by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court
approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent,
shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any particular
standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has determined
that indemnification is not permitted by applicable law. In addition, neither
the failure of the Reviewing Party to have made a determination as to whether
Indemnitee has met any particular standard of conduct or had any particular
belief, nor an actual determination by the Reviewing Party that Indemnitee
has
not met such standard of conduct or did not have such belief, prior to the
commencement of legal proceedings by Indemnitee to secure a judicial
determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable law, shall
be a defense to Indemnitee's claim or create a presumption that Indemnitee
has
not met any particular standard of conduct or did not have any particular
belief. In connection with any determination by the Reviewing Party or otherwise
as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified hereunder, the burden
of
proof shall be on the Company to establish that Indemnitee is not so
entitled.
(d)
Notice to Insurers. If, at the time of the receipt by the Company of a notice
of
a Claim pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, the Company has liability insurance
in
effect which may cover such Claim, the Company shall give prompt notice of
the
commencement of such Claim 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
Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such action, suit, proceeding,
inquiry or investigation in accordance with the terms of such
policies.
(e)
Selection of Counsel. In the event the Company shall be obligated hereunder
to
pay the Expenses of any Claim, the Company shall be entitled to assume the
defense of such Claim with counsel approved by Indemnitee, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld, upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice
of its election so to do. After delivery of such notice, approval of such
counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the
Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees
of
counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same Claim;
provided that, (i) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ Indemnitee's
counsel in any such Claim at Indemnitee's expense and (ii) if (A) the employment
of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, (B)
Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there is a conflict of interest
between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense, or (C)
the Company shall not continue to retain such counsel to defend such Claim,
then
the fees and expenses of Indemnitee's counsel shall be at the expense of the
Company. The Company shall have the right to conduct such defense as it sees
fit
in its sole discretion, including the right to settle any claim against
Indemnitee without the consent of the Indemnitee.
3
3.
Additional Indemnification Rights; Nonexclusivity.
(a)
Scope. The Company hereby agrees to indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent
permitted by law, notwithstanding that such indemnification is not specifically
authorized by the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company's Certificate
of Incorporation, the Company's Bylaws or by statute. In the event of any change
after the date of this Agreement in any applicable law, statute or rule which
expands the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its Board
of Directors or an officer, employee, agent or fiduciary, it is the intent
of
the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater
benefits afforded by such change. In the event of any change in any applicable
law, statute or rule which narrows the right of a Delaware corporation to
indemnify a member of its Board of Directors or an officer, employee, agent
or
fiduciary, such change, to the extent not otherwise required by such law,
statute or rule to be applied to this Agreement, shall have no effect on this
Agreement or the parties' rights and obligations hereunder except as set forth
in Section 8(a) hereof.
(b)
Nonexclusivity. The indemnification provided by this Agreement shall be in
addition to any rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled under the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation, its Bylaws, any agreement, any vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors, the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware, or otherwise. The indemnification provided under this
Agreement shall continue as to Indemnitee for any action Indemnitee took or
did
not take while serving in an indemnified capacity even though Indemnitee may
have ceased to serve in such capacity.
4.
No
Duplication of Payments. The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement
to
make any payment in connection with any Claim made against Indemnitee to the
extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment (under any insurance
policy, Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaw or otherwise) of the amounts
otherwise indemnifiable hereunder.
5.
Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this
Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of Expenses
incurred in connection with any Claim, but not, however, for all of the total
amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the
portion of such Expenses to which Indemnitee is entitled.
6.
Mutual
Acknowledgment. Both the Company and Indemnitee acknowledge that in certain
instances, Federal law or applicable public policy may prohibit the Company
from
indemnifying its directors, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries under
this Agreement or otherwise. Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the
Company has undertaken or may be required in the future to undertake with the
Securities and Exchange Commission to submit the question of indemnification
to
a court in certain circumstances for a determination of the Company's right
under public policy to indemnify Indemnitee.
4
7.
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. Among other considerations,
the Company will weigh the costs of obtaining such insurance coverage against
the protection afforded by such coverage. In all policies of directors' and
officers' liability insurance, Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such
a
manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are accorded
to
the most favorably insured of the Company's directors, if Indemnitee is a
director; or of the Company's officers, if Indemnitee is not a director of
the
Company but is an officer; or of the Company's key employees, if Indemnitee
is
not an officer or director but is a key employee. 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, if the coverage provided by such insurance is
limited by exclusions so as to provide an insufficient benefit, or if Indemnitee
is covered by similar insurance maintained by a subsidiary or parent of the
Company.
8.
Exceptions. Any other provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement:
(a)
Excluded Action or Omissions. To indemnify Indemnitee for Expenses resulting
from acts, omissions or transactions for which Indemnitee is prohibited from
receiving indemnification under this Agreement or applicable law;
(b)
Claims Initiated by Indemnitee. To indemnify or advance expenses to Indemnitee
with respect to Claims initiated or brought voluntarily by Indemnitee and not
by
way of defense, except (i) with respect to actions or proceedings brought to
establish or enforce a right to indemnification under this Agreement or any
other agreement or insurance policy or under the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws now or hereafter in effect relating to Claims for
Indemnifiable Events, (ii) in specific cases if the Board of Directors has
approved the initiation or bringing of such Claim, or (iii) as otherwise
required under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, regardless
of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such
indemnification, advance expense payment or insurance recovery, as the case
may
be;
(c)
Lack
of Good Faith. To indemnify Indemnitee for any expenses incurred by Indemnitee
with respect to any proceeding instituted by Indemnitee to enforce or interpret
this Agreement, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that each of
the
material assertions made by Indemnitee in such proceeding was not made in good
faith or was frivolous; or
(d)
Claims Under Section 16(b). To indemnify Indemnitee for expenses and the payment
of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in
violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
or any similar successor statute.
5
9.
Period
of Limitations. No legal action shall be brought and no cause of action shall
be
asserted by or in the right of the Company against Indemnitee, Indemnitee's
estate, spouse, heirs, executors or personal or legal representatives after
the
expiration of two years from the date of accrual of such cause of action, and
any claim or cause of action of the Company shall be extinguished and deemed
released unless asserted by the timely filing of a legal action within such
two-year period; provided, however, that if any shorter period of limitations
is
otherwise applicable to any such cause of action, such shorter period shall
govern.
10.
Construction of Certain Phrases.
(a)
For
purposes of this Agreement, references to the "Company" shall include, in
addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including
any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which,
if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority
to
indemnify its directors, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries, so that
if
Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of such
constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent
corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other
enterprise, Indemnitee shall stand in the same position under the provisions
of
this Agreement with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as
Indemnitee would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its
separate existence had continued.
(b)
For
purposes of this Agreement, references to "other enterprises" shall include
employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall include any excise taxes
assessed on Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references
to "serving at the request of the Company" shall include any service as a
director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company which imposes
duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, agent
or
fiduciary with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or its
beneficiaries; and if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee
reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries
of an employee benefit plan, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in a
manner "not opposed to the best interests of the Company" as referred to in
this
Agreement.
(c)
For
purposes of this Agreement a "Change in Control" shall be deemed to have
occurred if, on or after the date of this Agreement, (i) any "person" (as such
term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934,
as amended), other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under
an
employee benefit plan of the Company acting in such capacity or a corporation
owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially
the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company, becomes the
"beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or
indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than 50% of the
total
voting power represented by the Company's then outstanding Voting Securities,
(ii) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the
beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors of the Company and
any new director whose election by the Board of Directors or nomination for
election by the Company's stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two
thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors
at
the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was
previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof,
or (iii) the stockholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation
of
the Company with any other corporation other than a merger or consolidation
which would result in the Voting Securities of the Company outstanding
immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining
outstanding or by being converted into Voting Securities of the surviving
entity) at least 80% of the total voting power represented by the Voting
Securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately
after
such merger or consolidation, or the stockholders of the Company approve a
plan
of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or
disposition by the Company of (in one transaction or a series of related
transactions) all or substantially all of the Company's assets.
6
(d)
For
purposes of this Agreement, "Independent Legal Counsel" shall mean an attorney
or firm of attorneys, selected in accordance with the provisions of Section
1(c)
hereof, who shall not have otherwise performed services for the Company or
Indemnitees within the last three years (other than with respect to matters
concerning the rights of Indemnitees under this Agreement, or of other
indemnitees under similar indemnity agreements).
(e)
For
purposes of this Agreement, a "Reviewing Party" shall mean any appropriate
person or body consisting of a member or members of the Company's Board of
Directors or any other person or body appointed by the Board of Directors who
is
not a party to the particular Claim for which Indemnitee are seeking
indemnification, or Independent Legal Counsel.
(f)
For
purposes of this Agreement, "Voting Securities" shall mean any securities of
the
Company that vote generally in the election of directors.
11.
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each
of which shall constitute an original.
12.
Binding Effect; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon
and
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their
respective successors, assigns, including any direct or indirect successor
by
purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of
the
business and/or assets of the Company, spouses, heirs, and personal and legal
representatives. The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether
direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all,
substantially all, or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets of
the
Company, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to 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 had taken place. This Agreement shall continue in effect with respect
to Claims relating to Indemnifiable Events regardless of whether Indemnitee
continues to serve as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of
the
Company or of any other enterprise at the Company's request.
7
13.
Attorneys' Fees. In the event that any action is instituted by Indemnitee under
this Agreement or under any liability insurance policies maintained by the
Company to enforce or interpret any of the terms hereof or thereof, Indemnitee
shall be entitled to be paid all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee with respect
to
such action, regardless of whether Indemnitee is ultimately successful in such
action, and shall be entitled to the advancement of Expenses with respect to
such action, unless, as a part of such action, a court of competent jurisdiction
over such action determines that each of the material assertions made by
Indemnitee as a basis for such action was not made in good faith or was
frivolous. In the event of an action instituted by or in the name of the Company
under this Agreement to enforce or interpret any of the terms of this Agreement,
Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee
in
defense of such action (including costs and expenses incurred with respect
to
Indemnitee's counterclaims and cross-claims made in such action), and shall
be
entitled to the advancement of Expenses with respect to such action, unless,
as
a part of such action, a court having jurisdiction over such action determines
that each of Indemnitee's material defenses to such action was made in bad
faith
or was frivolous.
14.
Notice. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder

purposes in connection with any action or proceeding which arises out of or
relates to this Agreement and agree that any action instituted under this
Agreement shall be commenced, prosecuted and continued only in the Court of
Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County, which shall
be
the exclusive and only proper forum for adjudicating such a claim.
8
16. Severability.
The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable in the event that any of
the
provisions hereof (including any provision within a single section, paragraph
or
sentence) are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void
or
otherwise unenforceable, and the remaining provisions shall remain enforceable
to the fullest extent permitted by law. Furthermore, to the fullest extent
possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitations,
each
portion of this Agreement containing any provision held to be invalid, void
or
otherwise unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, void or unenforceable)
shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the
provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.
17.
Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and its provisions construed
and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, as applied
to

to
bring suit to enforce such rights.
19.
Amendment and Termination. No amendment, modification, termination or
cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing signed
by both the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement
shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof
(whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing
waiver.
20.
Integration and Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire
understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes and merges all previous
written and oral negotiations, commitments, understandings and agreements
relating to the subject matter hereof between the parties hereto.
