INDEMNIFICATION
10.1 Company's Obligation to Indemnify. In consideration of the
Investor's execution and delivery of this Agreement and acquiring the
Securities hereunder, and in addition to all of the Company's other
obligations under this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to defend and
indemnify the Investor and the Investor's Affiliates and subsidiaries,
and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and
representatives, and the successors and assigns of each of them
(collectively, the "Investor Indemnified Parties") and the Company does
hereby agree to hold the Investor Indemnified Parties harmless, from and
against any and all successful Claims made or brought against the
Investor Indemnified Parties, or any one of them, and the Company hereby
agrees to pay or reimburse the Investor Indemnified Parties for any and
all Claims payable by any of the Investor Indemnified Parties to any
Person, including reasonable attorneys' and paralegals' fees and
expenses, court costs, settlement amounts, costs of investigation,
through all negotiations, mediations, arbitrations, trial and appellate
levels, as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to: (i) any
proven, material misrepresentation or material breach of any
representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement, the
Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document
contemplated hereby or thereby; or (ii) any proven, material breach of
any covenant, agreement or Obligation of the Company contained in this
Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument
or document contemplated hereby or thereby. To the extent that the
foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason,
the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and
satisfaction of each of the Claims covered hereby, which is permissible
under applicable Law. If any action shall be brought against the Investor
in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement,
the Investor shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the
Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel
of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Investor. The Investor
shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and
participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense of the Investor except to the extent that
(i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the
Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period
of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such
action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a
material conflict on any material issue between the position of the
Company and the position of the Investor, in which case the Company shall
be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one
such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to the Investor
under this indemnity: (y) for any settlement by the Investor in
connection with any Claim effected without the Company's prior written
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent, that a Claim is
attributable to the Investor's breach of any of the representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Investor in this
Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument
or document contemplated hereby or thereby.
10.2 Investor's Obligation to Indemnify. In consideration of the
Company's execution and delivery of this Agreement and selling the
Securities hereunder, and in addition to all of the Investor's other
obligations under this Agreement, the Investor hereby agrees to defend
and indemnify the Company and the Company's Affiliates and subsidiaries,
and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and
representatives, and the successors and assigns of each of them
(collectively, the "Company Indemnified Parties") and the Investor does
hereby agree to hold the Company Indemnified Parties harmless, from and
against any and all successful Claims made or brought against the Company
Indemnified Parties, or any one of them, and the Investor hereby agrees
to pay or reimburse the Company Indemnified Parties for any and all
Claims payable by any of the Company Indemnified Parties to any Person,
including reasonable attorneys' and paralegals' fees and expenses, court
costs, settlement amounts, costs of investigation, through all
negotiations, mediations, arbitrations, trial and appellate levels, as a
result of, or arising out of, or relating to: (i) any proven, material
misrepresentation or material breach of any representation or warranty
made by the Investor in this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any
other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby;
or (ii) any proven, material breach of any covenant, agreement or
Obligation of the Investor contained in this Agreement, the Transaction
Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated
hereby or thereby. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the
Investor may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the
maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the
Claims covered hereby, which is permissible under applicable Law. If any
action shall be brought against the Company in respect of which indemnity
may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall promptly
notify the Investor in writing, and the Investor shall have the right to
assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably
acceptable to the Company. The Company shall have the right to employ
separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense
thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of the Company except to the extent that (i) the employment
thereof has been specifically authorized by the Investor in writing, (ii)
the Investor has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such
defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the
reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any
material issue between the position of the Investor and the position of
the Company, in which case the Investor shall be responsible for the
reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel.
The Investor will not be liable to the Company under this indemnity: (y)
for any settlement by the Company in connection with any Claim effected
without the Investor's prior written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but
only to the extent, that a Claim is attributable to the Company's breach
of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made
by the Investor in this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any other
certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby.
ARTICLE XI
PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS AND RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
11.1 Pre-Emptive Purchase Rights. To the extent permitted by
applicable law and subject to the limitations set forth in this Article
XI, if at any time during the Pre-emptive Rights Period, the Company
proposes to issue (an "Issuance") to a Person other than Investor ("Third
Party Purchaser") shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities, then
Investor shall be entitled to and have the right and option (but shall
not be required) to concurrently purchase or acquire up to such number of
shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities as would allow Investor,
in aggregate to maintain (assuming conversion of all Convertible
Securities) beneficial ownership of the same percentage of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock, as were owned immediately prior to
the closing of the Issuance. The purchase by Investor of any such Common
Stock or Convertible Securities shall be on the same terms and at the
same price per share of Common Stock or other Convertible Securities at
which such Common Stock or other Convertible Securities are issued to
Third Party Purchasers.
11.2 Right of First Refusal. Subject to the limitations set forth
in this Article XI, if, at any time during the Refusal Period, the
Company proposes an Issuance of shares of Common Stock, Convertible
Securities or any other common stock, preferred stock, warrants, options
or other rights to acquire an ownership interest in the Company ("Other
Securities") to a Person other than the Investor (a "Third Party
Purchaser"), the Investor shall have the right to purchase all or any
portion of the shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities or Other
Securities proposed to be issued at the same price and on the same terms
and conditions as those offered to the proposed Third Party Purchaser;
provided, however, that if the Investor expresses its intent to purchase
less than all of the shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities or
Other Securities, the Company shall then offer the remaining portion of
such securities to the Third Party Purchaser. If the Third Party
Purchaser declines to then purchase such lesser amount, then the Investor
shall, at its option, (i) purchase all of the Common Stock, Convertible
Securities or Other Securities originally proposed to be issued or (ii)
forego its right to purchase any of the Common Stock, Convertible
Securities or Other Securities originally proposed to be issued.
11.3 Exempt Issuances. The Investor shall have no right to
purchase Common Stock, Convertible Securities or Other Securities
pursuant to Section 11.1 or 11.2 in connection with any issuance (i) for
compensatory purposes to directors, officers or employees of the Company
and its Affiliates pursuant to compensation agreements, including any
Company stock option plan, (ii) pursuant to the exercise of the Algar
Option Agreement, (iii) to the public in an offering pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or (iv) in
connection with a Fundamental Transaction.
11.4 Pre-Emptive Rights and Right of First Refusal Notices. The
Company shall give written notice of any proposed Issuance to Investor at
least twenty-five (25) Business Days prior to the proposed date of the
Issuance of Common Stock, Convertible Securities or Other Securities
("Notice of Issuance"). The Notice of Issuance shall state, as
applicable, that the Company is proposing to issue shares of Common
Stock, Convertible Securities and/or Other Securities and shall set out
the material terms of the proposed issuance, including the proposed
number and terms of the Common Stock, Convertible Securities and/or Other
Securities to be issued, the sale or issue price thereof and, if known,
the identity of the Third Party Purchaser(s) and the ultimate beneficial
owners thereof.
11.5 Investor Notice. The Investor shall have the right to
purchase all or some of the shares of Common Stock, Convertible
Securities and/or Other Securities which it is entitled to purchase under
Section 11.1 or 11.2and shall provide written notice to the company
within fifteen (15) Business Days following receipt of the Notice of
Issuance of the number of shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities
and/or Other Securities, if any, it intends to purchase pursuant to the
proposed issuance (the "Notice of Exercise"). If the Notice of Exercise
delivered relates to the Right of First Refusal and states the Investor's
intent to purchase less than all of the Common Stock, Convertible
Securities or Other Securities being offered to the Third Party
Purchaser, the Company will then have fifteen (15) business days to
obtain the Third Party Purchaser's agreement to purchase the lesser
amount of securities. If the Third Party Purchaser determines not to
purchase such lesser amount, the Company will notify the Investor of such
determination, and the Investor must, within five (5) Business days of
such notice from the Company, either (i) revise the Notice of Exercise to
state its intent to purchase all of the Common Stock, Convertible
Securities or Other Securities proposed to be issued; or (ii) withdraw
the Notice of Exercise and waive its rights under Section 11.2. If the
Investor does not give any Notice of Exercise to the Company within the
initial fifteen (15) business day period, the Investor shall be deemed to
have waived its rights to acquire the securities under Section 11.1 or
11.2 and the Company shall be entitled within a period of forty-five (45)
calendar days following the expiry of the fifteen (15) Business Day
period to complete the proposed issuance to the Third Party Purchaser(s)
on the terms and conditions contained in the Notice of Issuance. If no
such issuance is completed within such forty-five (45) calendar day
period, the Company will be required to again comply with the provisions
of this Article XI before completing any such Issuance.
11.6 Obligation of Company to Sell and of Investor to Purchase.
If the Investor provides a Notice of Exercise, so long as the Investor
would then be eligible or allowed to purchase such securities under
applicable law, the Company shall be obligated to sell and issue to the
Investor, and the Investor shall be obligated to purchase from the
Company, that number of shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities
and/or Other Securities specified by the Investor in the Notice of
Exercise concurrently with the completion of the Issuance to the Third
Party Purchaser(s) or, if the Investor elects to purchase shares of
Common Stock, Convertible Securities and/or Other Securities under
Section 11.2 or 11.4, at that time the sale to the Third Party Purchaser
was proposed to close.
11.7 Issuance of Fewer Shares than Specified. If fewer shares of
Common Stock or Convertible Securities are issued to Third Party
Purchaser(s) than were specified in the Notice of Issuance in connection
with an Issuance for which the Investor has exercised its right under
Section 11.1, the Company will not be required to send an amended Notice
of Issuance to the Investor pursuant to Section 11.4, but (i) the
Investor may, at its option, elect to purchase fewer shares of Common
Stock or Convertible Securities than it specified in its Notice of
Exercise and (ii) the Company may, at its option, elect to reduce the
allocation of shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities to be
issued to Investor on closing to that number of shares of Common Stock or
Convertible Securities, as the case may be, which will allow the
Investor, in aggregate to maintain (on a partially diluted basis as
described above) beneficial ownership of the same percentage of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock as were owned immediately prior to the
closing of the Issuance.
