EXHIBIT 10.16
TDK MEDIACTIVE, INC.
INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
This Indemnification Agreement ("Agreement") is effective as of March 27,
2001, by and between TDK Mediactive, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx ("Indemnitee").
WHEREAS, the Company and Indemnitee recognize the increasing difficulty
in obtaining liability insurance for its officers and directors, the
significant increases in the cost of such insurance and the general reductions
in the coverage of such insurance; and
WHEREAS, the Company and Indemnitee further recognize the substantial
increase in corporate litigation, subjecting officers and directors to
expensive litigation risks at the same time as the availability and coverage
of liability insurance has been severely limited; and
WHEREAS, Indemnitee does not regard the current protection available as
adequate under the present circumstances, and the Indemnitee and other
officers and directors of the Company may not be willing to continue to serve
in such capacities without additional protection; and
WHEREAS, 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
Indemnitee to the maximum extent permitted by law.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration for Indemnitee's agreement to continue
to serve the company, the Company and Indemnitee hereby agree as follows:
1. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification of Expenses. The Company shall indemnify
Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law if Indemnitee was or is or
becomes a party to or witness or other participant in, or is 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 or agent 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 or agent 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 an 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 the Indemnitee 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
five days after written demand by Indemnitee therefor is presented to the
Company.
(b) Reviewing Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the
obligation 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 shall have
determined 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 agrees to reimburse the Company) for all such amounts theretofore
paid; provided, however, that if Indemnitee has commenced or thereafter
commences 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).
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.
(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 Indemnitee 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 Indemnitee 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
indemnify fully 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 Procedures.
(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 five 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.
(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 not 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 the 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 the 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, if
appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Claim with
counsel approved by Indemnitee, 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 may be 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 reasonable fees
and expenses of Indemnitee's counsel shall be at the expense of the Company.
3. Additional Indemnification Rights; Nonexclusivity.
(a) Scope. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
the Company hereby agrees to indemnify the 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, such changes shall
be, ipso facto, within the purview of an Indemnitee's rights, and the
Company's obligations, under this Agreement. 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,
such changes, 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.
(b) Nonexclusivity. The indemnification provided by this Agreement
shall not be deemed exclusive of any rights to which an Indemnitee may be
entitled under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, the Company's
Bylaws, any agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors,
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or otherwise, both as to
action in Indemnitee's official capacity and as to action in another capacity
while holding such office. The indemnification provided under this Agreement
shall continue as to Indemnitee for any action taken or not taken while
serving in an indemnified capacity even though Indemnitee may have ceased to
serve in such capacity at the time of any action, suit or other covered
proceeding.
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 by him in connection with any Claim, but not,
however, for 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
override Delaware law and prohibit the Company from indemnifying its directors
and officers under this Agreement or otherwise. For example, the Company and
Indemnitee acknowledge that the Securities and Exchange Commission has taken
the position that indemnification is not permissible for liabilities arising
under certain federal securities laws, and federal legislation prohibits
indemnification for certain ERISA violations. 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.
7. Officers and Director Liability. 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 director and officer 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 the Indemnitee is a director; or of the Company's officers, if
the 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, the premium costs
for such insurance are disproportionate to the amount of coverage provided,
the coverage provided by such insurance is limited by exclusions so as to
provide an insufficient benefit, or Indemnitee is covered by a 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 acts,
omissions or transactions from which Indemnitee may not be relieved of
liability under 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 the Indemnitee with respect to any proceeding instituted by
Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement, if a court of intent
jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions made by the
Indemnitee in such proceeding was not made in good faith or was frivolous;
(d) Insured Claims. To indemnify indemnitee for expenses or
liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, Judgments,
fines ERISA excise taxes or Penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) which
have been paid directly to Indemnitee by an insurance carrier under a policy
of officers' and directors' liability insurance maintained by the Company or
any parent or subsidiary of the Company; or
(e) Claims Under Section 16(b). To indemnify Indemnitee for
expenses or 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.
9. Period of Limitation. 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, 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 officers and directors, so that
if Indemnitee is or was an officer or director of such constituent
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent 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 an officer or director of the Company which imposes
duties on, or involves services by, such officer or director 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 (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 hold ing securities under an employee
benefit plan of the Company 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, (A) who is or becomes the beneficial owner,
directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 10% or more
of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding Voting
Securities, increases his beneficial ownership of such securities by 5% or
more over the percentage so owned by such person, or (B) becomes the
"beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or
indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than 20% 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 of the directors then still in office who either were
directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination or
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 transactions) all of substantially all of the Company's assets.
(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 Indemnitee within the last three years (other than
with respect to matters concerning the rights of Indemnitee under this
Agreement, or of other indemnitee under similar indemnity agreements).
(e) For purposes of this Agreement, a "Reviewing Party" shall mean
