Section 1.3 Third Party Service Providers. It is understood and agreed that Supplier has been retaining, and will continue to retain, third party service providers to provide some of the Services to the Recipients. In addition, Supplier shall have the right to hire other third party service providers to provide all or part of any Service, provided that the hiring of such other third party providers does not adversely affect the provision of the Services by Supplier; provided, however, that Supplier shall not hire other third party service providers to provide all or part of any Service to the extent such hire would materially increase the costs of such Services without the prior written consent of Recipient Representative. In the event that Recipient Representative does not provide such prior written consent, Supplier shall have the right to immediately terminate the provision of Services proposed to be provided by such third party service provider. Supplier shall in all cases retain responsibility for the provision to the Recipients of Services to be performed by such third party service provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Supplier shall not hire a different third party provider to provide the Services to be provided by Clarkson Consulting without the prior written consent of Recipient Representative (which consent may not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld).

Section 1.4 Force Majeure.

(a) Supplier shall notify Recipient Representative of any circumstances beyond the reasonable control of Supplier including, but not limited to, war, insurrection, riot, civil commotion, acts of terrorism, act of God, market closure (which is not in the ordinary course of business), fire, water damage, explosion, mechanical breakdown, any law, decree, regulation or order of any government or governmental body (including any court or tribunal), any material interruption in telecommunications, Internet or utilities services that prevents, hinder or delays Supplier from performing its obligations under this Agreement (a “Force Majeure Event”).

(b) In the event that Supplier is prevented, hindered or delayed from performing its obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, due to a Force Majeure Event, then (i) the affected provisions and/or other requirements of this Agreement shall be suspended to the extent necessary during the period of such disability, and (ii) Supplier shall have no liability to the Recipients or any other party in connection with such suspension. Supplier shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to resume full performance of this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable following the conclusion of the Force Majeure Event. From the commencement and during the continuance of a Force Majeure Event, Recipients may replace, at their sole expense, any affected Service by providing such Service internally or engaging a third party to provide such Service and Supplier shall reasonably cooperate with such efforts.

Section 1.5 Records. Each Party shall keep or cause to be kept full and accurate records (the “Records”) existing or generated as part of the Services performed in connection with this Agreement in accordance with European Union, U.S., and International Conference on

Section 1.6 Audit Request. Recipients will have the right upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Supplier to audit the records of Supplier or its Affiliates through an independent certified accountant selected by Recipients, and which is reasonably acceptable to Supplier, for the purposes of confirming (i) that Supplier has complied with its obligations to deliver the Services and (ii) the accuracy of the Service Charges as set forth in Section 2.1, in each case, in accordance with this Agreement. Supplier shall make its employees reasonably available to Recipients and its accountant in order to provide access to the systems, documentation and records that are the subject of any such audit. Such accountant must have executed and delivered to Supplier a confidentiality agreement as reasonably requested by Supplier, which will include provisions limiting such accountant’s disclosure to Recipients to only the results of such audit and any information necessary for Recipients and Supplier to determine whether Supplier has complied with its obligations to deliver the Services. The results of such audit will be referred to (A) for Recipients, Gerri Henwood, Chief Executive Officer and (B) for Supplier, Blair Jackson, Vice President of Business Development, who shall use commercially reasonably efforts to address and resolve those findings identified by the independent certified accountant as not in compliance with the obligations under this Agreement. If the matter has not been resolved within thirty (30) days of the matter being referred under the foregoing clause, then the findings of the independent certified accountant, including any destruction order given by the independent certified accountant, will be binding on both Parties and the Parties shall remedy those items found to not be in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 1.7 Mutual Confidentiality.

(a) Except as expressly permitted pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Intellectual Property Transfer and License Agreement and the IP License Agreement, the Parties shall refrain from, either alone or in conjunction with any other Person, or directly or indirectly through their Affiliates or Representatives, disclosing to any other Person, or using in any manner, any confidential, proprietary or secret information (“Confidential Information”) of any other Party or such Party’s Affiliates; provided that the foregoing obligations of confidentiality and non-use will not apply to any Confidential Information that (A) is or becomes generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain and other than through any act or omission of the foregoing Persons or their Affiliates in breach of this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Intellectual Property Transfer and License Agreement or the IP License Agreement, (B) is disclosed after the date hereof to the foregoing Persons or their Affiliates or Representatives on a non-confidential basis by a third party that is not subject to an obligation of confidentiality with respect to such Confidential Information, and (C) is independently discovered or developed by the foregoing Persons or their Affiliates without the aid, application, or use of such Confidential Information.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 1.7(a), a Party may disclose Confidential Information in order to comply with (i) a request or requirement by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigation demand or similar process or a formal request from a regulatory examiner, if in the reasonable opinion of counsel, such disclosure is necessary for such compliance (an “External Demand”); and (ii) only with respect to Confidential Information that is not Restricted Information (as defined below), to its Affiliates; provided that, (A) with regard to disclosure under clause (i), prior to making such disclosure, the Party subject to such demand or request shall (x) immediately notify the other Party of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such External Demand, (y) consult with the other Party on the availability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request or disclosure, and (z) assist the other Party, at the other Party’s expense, in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy to the extent available under the circumstances and (B) with regard to disclosure under clause (ii), prior to making such disclosure, the recipient of such Confidential Information shall be bound by obligations of confidentiality with respect to the use and disclosure of such Confidential Information that are at least as stringent as the obligations of confidentiality set forth herein.

The costs and rates referenced in clauses (i) through (iv) above (the “Service Charges”) shall each be evidenced by Supplier’s or its Affiliates’ records.

respect to any payments to an Affiliate of Supplier (as designated pursuant to Section 2.1(a)), so long as such Affiliate has provided Recipient with a properly completed W-9 or other documentation that establishes to Recipient’s satisfaction that such Affiliate is exempt from backup withholding, Recipient shall treat any payments made hereunder to such Affiliate of Service Charges as exempt from withholding of U.S. federal Income Taxes and from information reporting under Chapter 61 of the Code.

(d) All Service Charges payable under this Agreement shall become due immediately upon termination (in whole or in part) or expiration of this Agreement.

Section 2.2 Invoicing and Settlement of Costs.

(a) During the Term of this Agreement, Supplier shall deliver to the Recipient Representative each month an invoice in respect of the Services provided to the Recipients and any costs incurred in connection with such Services during the previous month, such invoice to include any pass through costs incurred by Supplier and its Affiliates.

(ii) Upon delivery of such notice, Supplier and Recipient Representative shall use reasonable commercial efforts to resolve any such dispute promptly.

(iii) If the matter has not been resolved within thirty (30) days after the delivery of notice referenced in clause (i) above, then the matter shall be referred to (A) for Supplier, Noeleen Kenny, Vice President Alliance Management and (B) for Recipient Representative, the Chief Financial Officer. The foregoing representatives of the Parties, or their designees, shall use reasonable commercial efforts to resolve such dispute promptly.

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

This Indemnification Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of April 10, 2015 by and between Recro Pharma, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Company”), and [* * *] (“Indemnitee”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Alkermes Pharma Ireland Limited, a private limited company incorporated in Ireland (“APIL”), the Company, DV Technology LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Alkermes Gainesville LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company, have entered into a transition services agreement as of the date hereof (the “Transition Services Agreement”);

WHEREAS, on behalf of APIL, Indemnitee shall provide certain services to the Company as set forth in Sections 1.2(a), 1.2(b), and 1.2(c) of the Transition Services Agreement (the “Services”); and

WHEREAS, in order to induce Indemnitee to provide the Services to the Company, the Company wishes to provide for the indemnification of, and advancement of expenses to, Indemnitee.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

Section 1. Not a Contract for Employment.

(a) Nothing in this Agreement will be interpreted as a contract for Indemnitee’s employment. All services provided by Indemnitee to the Company shall be performed subject to the terms of Indemnitee’s employment with APIL.

(b) This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect after Indemnitee has ceased to provide the Services.

Section 2. Definitions.

total voting power represented by the Company’s outstanding Voting Shares on the date hereof, or (ii) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and any new director whose election by the Board 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 fifty percent (50%) 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 or substantially all the Company’s assets.

(d) “Expenses” shall include all reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, and all other disbursements or expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating, being or preparing to be a witness in, or otherwise participating in, a Proceeding or an appeal resulting from a Proceeding, including without limitation the premium, security for, and other costs relating to any cost bond, supersedes bond, or other appeal bond or its equivalent. Expenses, however, shall not include amounts paid in settlement by Indemnitee or the amount of judgments or fines against Indemnitee.

(e) “Independent Counsel” shall mean a law firm, or a partner (or, if applicable, member) of such a law firm, that is experienced in matters of contract law and neither presently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent: (i) the Company, any Enterprise or Indemnitee in any matter material to any such party (other than with respect to

matters concerning Indemnitee under this Agreement, or of other indemnitees under similar indemnification agreements), or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the Independent Counsel referred to above.

(f) The term “Proceeding” shall include any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing or any other actual, threatened or completed proceeding, whether brought in the right of the Company or otherwise and whether of a civil, criminal, administrative, regulatory or investigative nature in which Indemnitee was, is or will be involved as a party or otherwise by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was providing the Services or by reason of any action taken by Indemnitee or of any action taken on his part while providing the Services or while serving at the request of the Company as a Representative of any Enterprise, in each case whether or not serving in such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification, reimbursement or advancement of expenses can be provided under this Agreement; provided, however, that the term “Proceeding” shall not include any action, suit or arbitration, or part thereof, initiated by Indemnitee to enforce Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement as provided for in Section 13(e) of this Agreement.

(g) “Representative” shall mean a person occupying the position or discharging the functions of a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, trustee or agent thereof, regardless of the name or title by which the person may be designated.

Pursuant to this Section 3, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on his behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful; provided, however, that the Company has no obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee for amounts paid in settlement without the Company’s prior written consent.

Section 4. Indemnity in Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4 if Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 4, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. No indemnification for Expenses shall be made under this Section 4 in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudged by a court to be liable to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the court of common pleas of the judicial district embracing the county in which the registered office of the Company is located or any court in which the Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses as the court of common pleas or other court deems proper.

Section 5. Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement and except as provided in Section 8, to the extent that Indemnitee is a party to or a participant in and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on his behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of this Section 5 and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.

Section 6. Indemnification For Expenses of a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of providing the Services, a witness in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party and is not threatened to be made a party, he shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith.

Section 7. Intentionally Omitted.

Section 8. Exclusions. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement:

(a) to make any indemnity for amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder (or for which advancement is provided hereunder) if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such amounts under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise;

 

A-4


EXHIBIT HAS BEEN REDACTED AND IS THE SUBJECT OF A CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUEST. REDACTED MATERIAL IS MARKED WITH [* * *] AND HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

 

(b) to make any indemnity or advancement that is prohibited by applicable law;

(c) to make any indemnity or advancement in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees.

Section 9. Advances of Expenses. The Company shall advance, to the extent not prohibited by law, the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding, and such advancement shall be made within twenty (20) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements requesting such advances (which shall include invoices received by Indemnitee in connection with such Expenses but, in the case of invoices in connection with legal services, any references to legal work performed or to expenditures made that would cause Indemnitee to waive any privilege accorded by applicable law shall not be included with the invoice) from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of any Proceeding. Advances shall be unsecured and interest free. Advances shall be made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the expenses and without regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification under the other provisions of this Agreement. Indemnitee shall qualify for advances upon the execution and delivery to the Company of this Agreement which shall constitute an undertaking providing that Indemnitee undertakes to repay the advance if and to the extent that it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment, not subject to appeal, that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. The right to advances under this paragraph shall in all events continue until final disposition of any Proceeding, including any appeal therein. Nothing in this Section 9 shall limit Indemnitee’s right to advancement pursuant to Section 13(e) of this Agreement.

Section 10. Procedure for Notification and Defense of Claim.

(a) To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request therefor and, if Indemnitee so chooses pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement, such written request shall also include a request for Indemnitee to have the right to indemnification determined by Independent Counsel.

(b) The Company will be entitled to participate in the Proceeding at its own expense.

Section 11. Procedure Upon Application for Indemnification.

(a) Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 10(a), a determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case: (i) by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board if Indemnitee so requests in such written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 10(a), or (ii) by the Company if Indemnitee does not so request such determination be made by Independent Counsel. In the case that such determination is made by Independent Counsel, a copy of

 

A-5

Independent Counsel’s written opinion shall be delivered to Indemnitee and, if it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ten (10) days after such determination. Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Independent Counsel or the Company, as applicable, making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such counsel or the Company, upon reasonable advance request, any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the Independent Counsel or the Company shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.

(b) In the event that Indemnitee exercises his right to have his entitlement to indemnification determined by Independent Counsel pursuant to clause (i) of Section 11(a), the Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee. The Company may, within ten (10) days after written notice of such selection, deliver to Indemnitee a written objection to such selection; providedhowever, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If such written objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within twenty (20) days after the later of (i) submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification and Independent Counsel pursuant to Sections 10(a) and 11(a)(i) hereof, respectively, and (ii) the final disposition of the Proceeding, including any appeal therein, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected without objection, Indemnitee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Company to the selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall designate. The person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 11(a) hereof. Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 13(a) of this Agreement, Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing).

Section 12. Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings.

(a) In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, it shall be presumed that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 10(a) of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making of any determination contrary to that presumption. Neither (i) the failure of the Company or of Independent Counsel to have made a determination

 

A-6


EXHIBIT HAS BEEN REDACTED AND IS THE SUBJECT OF A CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUEST. REDACTED MATERIAL IS MARKED WITH [* * *] AND HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

 

prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor (ii) an actual determination by the Company or by Independent Counsel that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

(b) The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of guilty, nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

(c) The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any Representative of the Company or any Enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.

Section 13. Remedies of Indemnitee.

(a) Subject to Section 13(f), in the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification that does not include a request for Independent Counsel, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Section 5 or 6 or the last sentence of Section 11(a) of this Agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor or (v) payment of indemnification pursuant to Section 3 or 4 of this Agreement is not made within ten (10) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication by a court of his entitlement to such indemnification or advancement. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at his option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding seeking an adjudication or an award in arbitration within one hundred and eighty (180) days following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 13(a); provided, however, that the foregoing time limitation shall not apply in respect of a proceeding brought by Indemnitee to enforce his rights under Section 5 of this Agreement. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration.

(b) In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by

reason of that adverse determination. In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13, the Company shall have the burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement, as the case may be.

(c) If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.

(d) The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.

(e) The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Enforcement Expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor) advance, to the extent not prohibited by law, such Enforcement Expenses to Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action brought by Indemnitee for indemnification or advancement from the Company under this Agreement or under any liability insurance policies maintained by the Company for coverage of its Representatives, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advancement or insurance recovery, as the case may be, in the suit for which indemnification or advancement is being sought.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no determination as to entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement shall be required to be made prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding, including any appeal therein.

Section 14. Non-exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance; Subrogation.

(a) No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in the course of providing the Services prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.

(b) To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for Representatives of the Company or of any other Enterprise, Indemnitee shall be covered by any such policy or policies that applies to a Representative of the same position as Indemnitee in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the

 

A-8

coverage available for any such Representative under such policy or policies. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company has liability insurance in effect covering its Representatives, 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 Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.

(c) In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.

(d) The Company’s obligation to provide indemnification or advancement hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a Representative of any other Enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification or advancement from such other Enterprise.

Section 15. Duration of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue until and terminate upon the later of: (a) three (3) years after the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to provide the Services or (b) one (1) year after the final termination of any Proceeding, including any appeal, then pending in respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement hereunder and of any proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 13 of this Agreement relating thereto. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and his heirs, executors and administrators.
