Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

As previously disclosed, on August 22, 2013, JetPay Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with Flexpoint Fund II, L.P. (“Flexpoint”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to Flexpoint, and Flexpoint agreed to purchase, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, up to 134,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 (“Series A Preferred”) for an aggregate purchase price of up to $40,000,000. The description of the Securities Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Securities Purchase Agreement, a copy of which was included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 23, 2013.

 

On October 11, 2013 (the “Initial Closing”), the Company issued 33,333 shares of Series A Preferred to Flexpoint for an aggregate of $10,000,000 less certain agreed-upon reimbursable expenses of Flexpoint. The Series A Preferred is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”). Any holder of Series A Preferred may at any time convert such holder’s shares of Series A Preferred into that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Series A Preferred being converted multiplied by $300 and divided by the then-applicable conversion price, which initially will be $3.00. If at any time after the Initial Closing, subject to certain exceptions, the Company issues shares of Common Stock or securities convertible or exercisable into Common Stock below the then-applicable conversion price, the conversion price will be adjusted downward as set forth in the Certificate of Designation of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”). The conversion price of the Series A Preferred is also subject to downward adjustment in the case of indemnification claims made by Flexpoint against the Company pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. Additionally, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred can elect to force conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred by providing written notice to the Company of such election.

 

Based upon certain representations of Flexpoint made in the Securities Purchase Agreement, the issuance of the Series A Preferred to Flexpoint was consummated in reliance upon Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors

 

(b) On October 11, 2013, Arthur F. Ryan, a member of the Board, tendered his resignation effective as of October 11, 2013 for personal reasons. Mr. Ryan has served on the Board since February 2011.

 

(d) Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Certificate of Designation, Flexpoint is entitled to appoint the number of directors proportionate to its percentage ownership of the total number of shares of Common Stock, on an as-converted basis, which such number was two directors as of the Initial Closing. Flexpoint designated Donald J. Edwards and Steven M. Michienzi as its nominees to the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”). The Board appointed Messrs. Edwards and Michienzi to serve as directors on the Board at a meeting of the Board on October 8, 2013, contingent upon the consummation of the Initial Closing. Upon consummation of the Initial Closing, such appointments became effective and Messrs. Edwards and Michienzi became directors on the Board.

 

Each of Mr. Edwards and Mr. Michienzi is party to an Indemnification Agreement with the Company dated as of October 11, 2013, which such agreements provide Messrs. Edwards and Michienzi with certain indemnification rights in their capacities as members of the Board. The foregoing descriptions of the Indemnification Agreements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Indemnification Agreements, a form of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein. Other than such agreements, neither Mr. Michienzi nor Mr. Edwards is party to any transaction with the Company in which either has a direct or indirect interest.

 

 
 

 

Subject to confirmation by the Board, Mr. Michienzi is expected to serve on the Audit Committee of the Board and Mr. Edwards is expected to serve on the Nominating and the Compensation Committees of the Board.

If the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of Series A Preferred Shares pursuant to Section 6(a) , and if applicable any shares of Series A-1 Preferred on any Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem the total number of shares of Series A Preferred and Series A-1 Preferred to be redeemed on such date, then without limiting any rights or remedies herein or otherwise, those funds which are legally available shall be used to redeem the maximum possible number of Series A Preferred Shares and Series A-1 Preferred, pro rata, among the holders of the Series A Preferred and Series A-1 Preferred to be redeemed pursuant to Section 6(a) based upon the aggregate Liquidation Value of such shares of Series A Preferred and Series A-1 Preferred held by each such holder. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Corporation are legally available for the redemption of Series A Preferred Shares pursuant to Section 6(a) , Series A-1 Preferred, as applicable, such funds shall immediately be used to redeem the balance of the Series A Preferred Shares and Series A-1 Preferred which the Corporation has become obligated to redeem on any Redemption Date but which it has not redeemed. For the avoidance of doubt, references to “legally available” funds herein shall mean the amount of assets of the Corporation that may be used for a redemption of shares under Section 160 of the DGCL. For the avoidance of doubt, the Corporation shall be in breach of its obligations under this Certificate of Designation if it fails to pay in cash all amounts required to be paid by the Corporation pursuant to Section 6(a) on the redemption date specified in any redemption notice delivered by the holder of Series A Preferred in accordance with Section 6(a) .

 

(c) Reissuances of Certificates . In case fewer than the total number of Series A Preferred Shares represented by any certificate are redeemed, the Corporation shall cause its transfer agent to issue a new certificate representing the number of unredeemed Series A Preferred Shares to the holder thereof without cost to such holder within five Business Days after surrender of the certificate representing the redeemed Series A Preferred Shares.

 

(d) Determination of the Number of Each Holder’s Series A Preferred Shares to be Redeemed . Except as otherwise provided in Section 6(b) , the number of Series A Preferred Shares to be redeemed from each holder thereof in redemptions hereunder shall be the number of Series A Preferred Shares determined by multiplying the total number of Series A Preferred Shares to be redeemed times a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of Series A Preferred Shares then held by such holder and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Series A Preferred Shares then outstanding.

 

9
 

 

(e) Redeemed or Otherwise Acquired Series A Preferred Shares . Any Series A Preferred Shares which are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall be canceled and retired to authorized but unissued shares and shall not be reissued, sold or transferred.

 

Section 7.     Priority of Series A Preferred Shares . So long as any Series A Preferred Shares remain outstanding, without the prior written consent of the Series A Preferred Majority Holders, the Corporation shall not, nor shall it permit any Subsidiary to, redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any Junior Securities other than with respect to repurchases of Junior Securities pursuant to a Qualified Incentive Plan, nor shall the Corporation directly or indirectly declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution upon any Junior Securities.

 

Section 8.     Conversion .

 

(a) Conversion at the Option of the Holder . Each Series A Preferred Share may be converted, at any time and from time to time, at the option of the holder thereof into the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Conversion Stock equal to the quotient determined by dividing (i) the Original Issue Price, by (ii) the Conversion Price then in effect.

 

(b) Mandatory Conversion . In addition to the conversion rights set forth in Section 8(a) , upon the Corporation’s receipt of a written election of the Series A Preferred Majority Holders (or, if so specified in such written election, upon the occurrence of such later event or date), all of the then outstanding Series A Preferred shall be converted automatically into shares of Conversion Stock, and the holders of Series A Preferred shall surrender all of their stock certificates representing Series A Preferred in exchange for certificates representing the number of shares of Conversion Stock then issuable upon conversion of such Series A Preferred in accordance with this Section 8 .

 

(c) Conversion Procedure . In the case of a conversion pursuant to Section 8(a) or Section 8(b) hereof, the conversion date shall be the date on which the certificate(s) representing such Series A Preferred Shares and a duly signed and completed notice of conversion of such Series A Preferred Share is received by the Corporation. As soon as possible (but in any event within five Business Days) after a conversion of Series A Preferred Shares has been effected, the Corporation shall cause its transfer agent to deliver to the converting holder, a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Conversion Stock issuable by reason of such conversion in such names or names and such denominations as the converting holder has specified. In case fewer than the total number of Series A Preferred Shares represented by any certificate are converted, a new certificate representing the number of Series A Preferred Shares not converted shall be issued to the holder thereof without cost to such holder within five Business Days after surrender of the certificate representing the redeemed Series A Preferred Shares. From and after the date of conversion, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock converted on such date will no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and all rights of the holder thereof as a holder of Series A Preferred Stock (except as expressly contemplated hereby and except for the right to receive from the Corporation the Common Stock and any other property receivable upon conversion) shall cease and terminate with respect to such Series A Preferred Shares.

 

10
 

 

(d) Cooperation . Subject to compliance with the Securities Act, the Corporation shall not close its books against the transfer of Series A Preferred Shares or of Conversion Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Shares in any manner which interferes with the timely conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares. Without limiting anything in the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Corporation shall assist and cooperate with any holder of Series A Preferred Shares required to make any governmental filings or obtain any governmental approval prior to or in connection with any conversion of Series A Preferred Shares hereunder (including, without limitation, making any governmental filings required to be made by the Corporation).

 

(e) Conversion Stock Reserved for Issuance . The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Conversion Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares, the number of shares of Conversion Stock that would be issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Series A Preferred Shares and all Series A Preferred that could potentially be issued in the future pursuant to Section 2 of the Securities Purchase Agreement. All shares of Conversion Stock which are so issuable shall, when issued, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens, charges and encumbrances. The Corporation shall take all such actions as may be necessary to ensure that all such shares of Conversion Stock may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange or market upon which shares of Conversion Stock may be listed (except for official notice of issuance and change in the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, each of which shall be immediately delivered by the Corporation upon each such issuance). The Corporation shall not take any action which would cause the number of authorized but unissued shares of Conversion Stock to be less than the number of such shares required to be reserved hereunder for issuance upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares in accordance with this Section 8 .

 

(f) Taxes . The Corporation shall pay any and all issuance or transfer Taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares.

 

Section 9.     Adjustments .

 

(a) General . The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time pursuant to this Section 9 and Section 10.2(d) of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

(b) Anti-Dilution . Other than with respect to Excluded Issuances, if and whenever the Corporation issues or sells, or in accordance with Section 9(c) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then immediately upon such issue or sale or deemed issue or sale the Conversion Price shall be reduced to the Conversion Price determined by dividing (x) the sum of (1) the product derived by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale by the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (2) the consideration, if any, received by the Corporation upon such issue or sale, by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately after such issue or sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no adjustment in the Conversion Price as a result of any issue or sale (or deemed issue or sale) of shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise or conversion of Convertible Securities outstanding as of the SPA Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as any of the Existing Secured Convertible Notes are outstanding, if at any time the Corporation shall have issued shares of Common Stock or securities issuable or convertible into shares of Common Stock at a price below $3.00 per share (which for the avoidance of doubt shall be measured by taking into account any transfers of Common Stock from existing holders of Common Stock to the recipient of such issuances at a price below $3.00 per share), as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, combination, recapitalization or other proportionate reduction or increase in the Corporation’s Capital Stock, the Conversion Price shall be automatically adjusted to such lower price and shall be the basis for any further adjustments as set forth herein. For the avoidance of doubt, any such downward adjustment in the Conversion Price shall not be thereafter readjusted upward, notwithstanding that following such downward adjustment the Existing Secured Convertible Notes may thereafter no longer be outstanding or otherwise.

 

11
 

 

(c) Effect on Conversion Price of Certain Events . For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under Section 9(b) , the following shall be applicable:

 

(1) Issuance of Rights or Options . If the Corporation in any manner grants or sells any Options and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options, or upon conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options, is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such Options, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Corporation at the time of the granting or sale of such Options for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 9(c)(1) , the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable” shall be determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the granting or sale of such Options, plus the aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Corporation upon exercise of all such Options assuming exercise as of the date of issuance of such Options, plus in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange thereof assuming exercise as of the date of issuance of such Convertible Securities, by (ii) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made when Convertible Securities are actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or when Common Stock is actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

12
 

 

(2) Issuance of Convertible Securities . If the Corporation in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon conversion or exchange thereof is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Corporation at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 9(c)(2) , the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable” shall be determined by dividing (i) the total amount received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made when Common Stock is actually issued upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustments of the Conversion Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 9 , no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

 

(3) Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate . If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change shall be immediately adjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold.

 

(4) Treatment of Expired Options and Unexercised Convertible Securities . Upon the expiration of any Option or the termination of any right to convert or exchange any Convertible Security without the exercise of any such Option or right, the Conversion Price then in effect hereunder shall be adjusted immediately to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such Option or Convertible Security, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued.

 

13
 

 

(5) Calculation of Consideration Received . If any Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security is issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the amount received by the Corporation therefor. If any Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security is issued or sold for consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Corporation shall be the fair value of such consideration. If any Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security is issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Corporation is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of the portion of the net assets of the non-surviving entity that is attributable to such Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration or net assets other than cash and securities (and, if applicable, the portions thereof attributable to any such stock or securities) shall be determined jointly by the Corporation and the Series A Preferred Majority Holders. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within a reasonable period of time, the fair value of such consideration shall be determined by an independent appraiser experienced in valuing such type of consideration jointly selected by the Corporation and the Series A Preferred Majority Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon the parties. The fees, costs and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Corporation and Series A Preferred Majority Holders, on behalf of all holders of the Series A Preferred, based on the inverse of the percentage that the appraiser’s determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the total items in dispute as originally submitted to the appraiser. For example, should the items in dispute total in amount to $1,000 and the appraiser awards $600 in favor of the Corporation’s position, 60% of the costs of its review would be borne by Series A Preferred Majority Holders and 40% of the costs would be borne by the Corporation.

 

(6) Integrated Transactions . In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Corporation, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Option by the parties thereto, the Option shall be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $0.01.

 

(7) Treasury Shares . The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, and the disposition of any shares so owned or held shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

 

(8) Record Date . If the Corporation takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (a) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (b) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or upon the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

 

14
 

 

(d) Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock . If the Corporation at any time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and if the Corporation at any time combines (by reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased.

 

(e) Reorganizations, Mergers, Consolidation, Merger or Sale .

 

(1) Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets or other transaction, in each case which is effected in such a manner that the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, is referred to herein as an “ Organic Change ”. Prior to the consummation of any Organic Change each share of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Organic Change shall remain outstanding and upon the consummation of such Organic Change: (A) if the Organic Change results in a Change of Control and is a Deemed Liquidation, the provisions of Section 5 shall apply and each such share shall thereafter (subject to prior redemption, including pursuant to  Section 6(a) , or conversion) remain outstanding until the Liquidation Preference thereon has been paid in full; (B) if the Organic Change results in a Change of Control but the Series A Majority Preferred Holders have determined pursuant to Section 5(b) that such Change of Control will not constitute a Deemed Liquidation, such share shall thereafter (subject to prior redemption, including pursuant to  Section 6(a) , or conversion), without the consent of the holder thereof, become convertible into the cash, securities and other property that the holder would have received in such Organic Change had such holder owned a number of shares of Conversion Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the conversion of such holder’s Series A Preferred Shares as of the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such cash, securities or other property (such cash, securities and other property having a value equal to its fair market value is referred to herein as the “ Exchange Property ”) and all other rights pursuant to this Certificate of Designation with respect to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall immediately terminate; and (C) if the Organic Change does not result in a Change of Control, the surviving corporation shall exchange in such transaction for each share of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Organic Change, preferred shares of the surviving corporation with substantially the same terms and conditions as the Series A Preferred Stock, which terms are no less beneficial to the holders thereof, except that such preferred shares shall, upon conversion, be converted into, in lieu of the Conversion Stock, the Exchange Property.

 

15
 

 

(2) In the event that holders of the shares of the Common Stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in the Organic Change, the “Exchange Property” that holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive shall be determined by the Series A Preferred Majority Holders, who shall make such determination from among the choices made available to the holders of the Common Stock.

 

(3) The above provisions of this  Section 9(e)  shall similarly apply to successive Organic Changes.

 

(f) Certain Events . If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 9 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Board shall make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the holders of Series A Preferred Shares; provided that no such adjustment shall increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 9 or decrease the number of shares of Conversion Stock issuable upon conversion of each Series A Preferred Share.

 

(g) Notices . Immediately upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price, the Corporation shall give written notice thereof to all holders of Series A Preferred Shares, setting forth in reasonable detail and certifying the calculation of such adjustment. The Corporation shall give written notice to all holders of Series A Preferred Shares at least 20 days prior to the date on which the Corporation closes its books or takes a record (i) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon Common Stock, (ii) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or (iii) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Organic Change, dissolution or liquidation. The Corporation shall also give written notice to the holders of Series A Preferred Shares at least 20 days prior to the date on which any Organic Change shall take place.

 

Section 10.     Voting Rights; Election of Directors .

 

(a) Without limiting any rights provided to the holders of shares of Series A Preferred under the DGCL or the Securities Purchase Agreement, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred shall be entitled to vote as a single class with the holders of the Common Stock on all matters submitted to a vote (or action by written consent, if available) of stockholders of the Corporation. Each holder of shares of the Series A Preferred shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the largest number of full shares of Common Stock into which all shares of Preferred Stock held of record by such holder could then be converted (taking into account, for the avoidance of doubt, any Conversion Price adjustments made pursuant to Section 9(d) and 9(e)) at the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to vote on such matters or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written consent of stockholders is first executed; provided, however, that solely for purposes of calculating the number of votes that each holder of shares of Series A Preferred is entitled to pursuant to this Section 10(a) , the Conversion Price shall be assumed to equal $3.10, prior to any adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 9(d) and 9(e) . The holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall be entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders, which such notice shall be made in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Article VII of the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at an annual or special meeting of the holders of Series A Preferred Shares may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of Series A Preferred Shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted .

 

16
 

 

In accordance with the provisions of § 242(b)(2) of the DGCL, the number of authorized shares of any class or classes of stock may be increased or decreased by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon irrespective of the class vote requirements set forth in § 242(b)(2) of the DGCL (but, in the case of any decrease, not below the number of outstanding shares of any such class or classes).

 

(b) Election of Directors . In the election of directors of the Board, the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares, in addition to the other voting rights set forth herein, shall be entitled to elect that number of directors equal to the quotient (rounded up to the next highest whole number) of (i) (A) the number of directors seats on the Board that are not for appointment by the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares multiplied by (B) the Preferred Percentage, divided by (ii) the result of one minus the Preferred Percentage. Each such director shall be referred to herein as a “ Preferred Director ”. The holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall have the special right, voting separately as a single class (with each share being entitled to one vote) and to the exclusion of all other classes of the Corporation’s stock, to elect individuals to fill such directorships or vacancies thereof. The special right of the holders of Series A Preferred Shares to elect members of the Board may be exercised at the special meeting called pursuant to Section 12(c) , at any annual or other special meeting of stockholders and pursuant to a written consent in lieu of a stockholders meeting as set forth in Section 12(c) . Each Preferred Director appointed pursuant to this Section 10(b) shall continue to hold office until such Preferred Director is removed from office by the affirmative vote of the Series A Preferred Majority Holders or at such time as such Preferred Director’s death, resignation, retirement or disqualification. Any vacancy created by the removal, death, resignation, retirement or disqualification of a Preferred Director shall be filled by the affirmative vote of the Series A Preferred Majority Holders. If the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares for any reason fail to elect anyone to fill any such directorship or vacancy, such position shall remain vacant until such time as such holders elect a director to fill such position and shall not be filled by resolution or vote of the Board or the Corporation’s other stockholders. The Corporation and the Board shall take all such action as may be reasonably requested by such holders to effect this Section 10(b) (including nominating and recommending the designees of the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares for election and calling a special meeting of the Series A Preferred).

 

(c) Board Committees . As long as permitted by applicable laws, regulations, and listing standards, the directors appointed by the holders of the Series A Preferred shall be entitled to serve on each of the committees of the Board, according to the following: a number of directors equal to the greater of (i) one, and (ii) such number of directors such that the proportion of the directors appointed by the holders of Series A Preferred serving on each such committee relative to the total number of directors serving on such committee is no less than the proportion of Preferred Directors serving on the Board relative to the aggregate number of all directors that serve on the Board as a whole.

 

17
 

 

Section 11.     Consent Rights . In addition to any rights that the holders of Series A Preferred Shares may have pursuant to the DGCL or as provided in the Securities Purchase Agreement, for so long as the Purchaser holds at least the number of shares of Preferred Stock and/or an equivalent number of shares of Underlying Common Stock (as adjusted for stock splits reverse stock splits, stock dividends, and similar actions affecting such Preferred Stock, as applicable) equal to the Minimum Ownership Condition, the Corporation will not, without first obtaining the written consent or affirmative vote of the Series A Preferred Majority Holders, voting separately as a class, take any of the following actions: (i) liquidate, dissolve or wind-up the Corporation (whether voluntary or involuntary), (ii) amend, modify, supplement or repeal any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, this Certificate of Designation, or the Bylaws in a manner that would have a material adverse effect on any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series A Preferred Shares or the holders thereof (it being understood that, for the avoidance of doubt, any amendment, modification or supplement to the Certificate of Incorporation (including as a result of any new certificate of designation) to create, authorize, designate or issue any equity securities of the Corporation senior to or pari passu with the Series A Preferred Shares would have a material adverse effect on the rights, preferences, privileges and/or voting power of the Series A Preferred Shares or the holders thereof), (iii) change the size of the Board (other than as required by this Certificate of Designation); or (iv) agree to take any of the foregoing actions. The Corporation shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, comply with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 6.4 thereof.

 

Section 12.     Events of Noncompliance .

 

(a) Definition . An Event of Noncompliance shall have occurred if:

 

(1) the Corporation fails to make any redemption payment with respect to the Series A Preferred which it is required to make hereunder, whether or not such payment is legally permissible or is prohibited by any agreement to which the Corporation is subject;

 

(2) the Corporation breaches or otherwise fails to perform or observe any other covenant or agreement set forth herein or in the Securities Purchase Agreement required to be performed or observed by the Corporation after the initial closing of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement;

 

(3) the Corporation or any Subsidiary makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; or an order, judgment or decree is entered adjudicating the Corporation or any Subsidiary bankrupt or insolvent; or any order for relief with respect to the Corporation or any Subsidiary is entered under the Federal Bankruptcy Code; or the Corporation or any Subsidiary petitions or applies to any tribunal for the appointment of a custodian, trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Corporation or any Subsidiary or of any substantial part of the assets of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, or commences any proceeding (other than a proceeding for the voluntary liquidation and dissolution of a Subsidiary) relating to the Corporation or any Subsidiary under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation law of any jurisdiction; or any such petition or application is filed, or any such proceeding is commenced, against the Corporation or any Subsidiary and either (a) the Corporation or any such Subsidiary by any act indicates its approval thereof, consent thereto or acquiescence therein or (b) such petition, application or proceeding is not dismissed within 60 days.

 

18
 

 

(4) a judgment in excess of $5,000,000 is rendered against the Corporation or any Subsidiary and, within 60 days after entry thereof, such judgment is not discharged or execution thereof stayed pending appeal, or within 60 days after the expiration of any such stay, such judgment is not discharged;

 

(5) an event of default has occurred under any of the Existing Secured Convertible Notes; or

 

(6) an event of default has occurred under the ADC Loan Agreement.

 

The foregoing shall constitute Events of Noncompliance whatever the reason or cause for any such Event of Noncompliance and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body and regardless of the effects of any subordination provisions; provided, that with respect to the occurrence of any event listed in clauses (2), (5) and (6) above, the Corporation shall first be entitled to a 30-day period in which to cure such event before the occurrence of such event is considered an Event of Noncompliance.

 

(b) If an Event of Noncompliance has occurred, the Series A Preferred Majority Holders may demand (by written notice delivered to the Corporation) immediate redemption of all or any portion of the Series A Preferred owned by such holder or holders at a price per share equal to the Liquidation Value. The Corporation shall give prompt written notice of such election to the other holders of Series A Preferred (but in any event within five days after receipt of the initial demand for redemption), and each such other holder may demand immediate redemption of all or any portion of such holder’s Series A Preferred Shares by giving written notice thereof to the Corporation within seven days after receipt of the Corporation’s notice. The Corporation shall redeem all Series A Preferred Shares as to which rights under this Section 12(b) have been exercised within 15 days after receipt of the initial demand for redemption. Such special right shall continue until such time as there is no longer any Event of Noncompliance in existence, at which time such special right, if not theretofore exercised by the Series A Preferred Majority Holders, shall terminate, subject to revesting upon the occurrence and continuation of any Event of Noncompliance which gives rise to such special right hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Series A Preferred Majority Holders have made a redemption demand, the fact that an Event of Noncompliance has subsequently ceased to exist shall not relieve the Corporation of its obligations, nor deprive the holders of Series A Preferred Shares of their rights, under this Section 12(b) .

 

19
 

 

(c) If any Event of Noncompliance has occurred, the number of directors constituting the Corporation’s Board shall, at the request of the Series A Preferred Majority Holders, be increased by such number which shall constitute a minimum majority of the Board, and the holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall have the special right, voting separately as a single class (with each share being entitled to one vote) and to the exclusion of all other classes of the Corporation’s stock, to elect individuals to fill such newly created directorships, to remove any individuals elected to such directorships and to fill any vacancies in such directorships. The special right of the holders of Series A Preferred Shares to elect members of the Board may be exercised at the special meeting called pursuant to this Section 12(c) , at any annual or other special meeting of stockholders and, to the extent and in the manner permitted by applicable law, pursuant to a written consent in lieu of a stockholders meeting. Such special right shall continue until such time as there is no longer any Event of Noncompliance in existence, at which time such special right shall terminate subject to revesting upon the occurrence and continuation of any Event of Noncompliance which gives rise to such special right hereunder. The Corporation and the Board shall take all such action as may be reasonably requested by such holders to effect this Section 12(c) (including nominating and recommending the designees of the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares for election and calling a special meeting of the Series A Preferred).

 

Section 13.     Other Rights . If any Event of Noncompliance exists, each holder of Series A Preferred Shares shall also have any other rights which such holder is entitled to under any contract or agreement at any time and any other rights which such holder may have pursuant to applicable law.

 

Section 14.     Corporate Opportunities . To the fullest extent permitted by Section 122 of the DGCL, the Corporation renounces any interest or expectancy of the Corporation in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, business opportunities that are presented to its officers, directors or stockholders, other than those officers, directors or stockholders who are employees of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries. No amendment or repeal of this Section 14 shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any officer, director or stockholder of the Corporation for or with respect to any opportunities of which such officer, director or stockholder becomes aware prior to such amendment or repeal.

 

Section 15.     Registration of Transfer . The Corporation shall keep at its principal office a register for the registration of Series A Preferred Shares. Upon the surrender of any certificate representing Series A Preferred Shares at such place, the Corporation shall, at the request of the record holder of such certificate, execute and cause its transfer agent to deliver (at the Corporation’s expense) a new certificate or certificates in exchange therefor representing in the aggregate the number of Series A Preferred Shares represented by the surrendered certificate. Each such new certificate shall be registered in such name and shall represent such number of Series A Preferred Shares as is requested by the holder of the surrendered certificate and shall be substantially identical in form to the surrendered certificate, and dividends shall accrue on the Series A Preferred Shares represented by such new certificate from the date to which dividends have been fully paid on such Series A Preferred Shares represented by the surrendered certificate.

 

20
 

 

Section 16.     Replacement . Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation (it being understood that an affidavit of the registered holder shall be satisfactory) of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate evidencing Series A Preferred Shares, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation (provided that if the holder is a financial institution or other institutional investor its own agreement shall be satisfactory), or, in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender of such certificate, the Corporation shall (at its expense) execute and deliver in lieu of such certificate a new certificate of like kind representing the number of Series A Preferred Shares of such class represented by such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate and dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate, and dividends shall accrue on the Series A Preferred Shares represented by such new certificate from the date to which dividends have been fully paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate.

 

Section 17.     Amendment and Waiver . No amendment, modification, alteration, repeal or waiver of any provision of this Certificate of Designation shall be binding or effective without the prior written consent of the Series A Preferred Majority Holders, voting separately as a class; provided that no amendment, modification, alteration, repeal or waiver of the terms or relative priorities of the Series A Preferred may be accomplished by the merger, consolidation or other transaction of the Corporation with another Person unless the Corporation has obtained the prior written consent of the Series A Preferred Majority Holders. The Series A Preferred may act by written consent to effectuate the foregoing or any other instance provided herein where a vote of the holders of Series A Preferred is contemplated.

 

Section 18.     Notices . Except as otherwise expressly provided hereunder, all notices referred to herein shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given (a) if given by personal delivery, upon actual delivery, (b) if given by facsimile, telex or telecopier, upon receipt of confirmation of a completed transmittal, (c) if given by mail, upon the earlier of (i) actual receipt of such notice by the intended recipient or (ii) five Business Days after such notice is deposited in first class mail, postage prepaid, and (d) if by an internationally recognized overnight courier for overnight delivery, one Business Day after delivery to such courier for overnight delivery, in each case, (i) to the Corporation, at its principal executive offices and (ii) to any stockholder, at such holder’s address as it appears in the stock records of the Corporation (unless otherwise indicated by any such holder).

IN WITNESS WHEREOF , the Corporation has caused this Certificate of Designation to be duly executed and acknowledged by its undersigned duly authorized officer this 11 th day of October, 2013.

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

 

THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (this " Agreement ") is made and entered into as of [_____________], 2013, between JetPay Corporation (f/k/a Universal Business Payment Solutions Acquisition Corporation), a Delaware corporation (the " Company "), and [_____________] (" Indemnitee "). The obligations of the Company hereunder are guaranteed by JetPay, LLC, a Texas limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Except as otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 23 hereof.

 

WITNESSETH THAT:

 

WHEREAS, highly competent persons have become more reluctant to serve corporations as directors, officers or in other capacities unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance and/or adequate indemnification against inordinate risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of the corporation;

 

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the " Board ") has determined that officers, directors and other persons in service to corporations or business enterprises are being increasingly subjected to expensive and time-consuming litigation relating to, among other things, matters that traditionally would have been brought only against the Company or the business enterprise itself;

 

WHEREAS, the uncertainties relating to indemnification have increased the difficulty of attracting and retaining such persons;

 

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that the increased difficulty in attracting and retaining such persons is detrimental to the best interests of the Company's stockholders and that the Company should act to assure such persons that there will be increased certainty of such protection in the future;

 

WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified;

 

WHEREAS, this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company adopted August __, 2013 (as the same may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms, the " Certificate of Incorporation ") and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder or under the laws of State of Delaware;

 

WHEREAS, Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve and to take on additional service for or on behalf of the Company on the condition that he be provided adequate protection with respect to indemnification;

 

 
 

 

WHEREAS, Indemnitee has certain rights to indemnification and/or insurance provided by Flexpoint Ford, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and/or certain of its Affiliates (collectively, the " Fund "), which Indemnitee and Fund intend to be secondary to the primary obligation of the Company to indemnify Indemnitee as provided herein, with the Company's acknowledgement and agreement to the foregoing being a material condition to Indemnitee's willingness to serve on the Board; and

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Indemnitee's agreement to serve as a director and/or officer of the Company from and after the date hereof, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. Indemnity of Indemnitee . The Company hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware Law, as such may be amended from time to time. In furtherance of the foregoing indemnification, and without limiting the generality thereof:

 

(a) Proceedings Other Than Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company . Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section l(a) if, by reason of his Company Status, the Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company. Pursuant to this Section 1(a) , Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him, or on his behalf, in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, unless it has been finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction that, in connection with such specific claim, issue or matter, Indemnitee failed to act (i) in good faith and (ii) in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

 

(b) Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company . Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section 1(b) if, by reason of his Company Status, the Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Company. Pursuant to this Section 1(b) , Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee, or on the Indemnitee's behalf, in connection with such Proceeding, unless it has been finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction that, in connection with such specific claim, issue or matter, Indemnitee failed to act (i) in good faith and (ii) in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no indemnification against such Expenses shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter in such Proceeding as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall determine that such indemnification may be made.

 

(c) Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his Company Status, a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding, he shall be indemnified to the maximum extent permitted by law, as such may be amended from time to time, against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf 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 him or on his behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of this Section 1(c) 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.

2. Additional Indemnity . In addition to, and without regard to any limitations on, the indemnification provided for in Section 1 of this Agreement, the Company shall and hereby does indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee against all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf if, by reason of his Company Status, he is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding (including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company), including, without limitation, all liability arising out of the negligence or active or passive wrongdoing of Indemnitee. The only limitation that shall exist upon the Company's obligations pursuant to this Agreement shall be that the Company shall not be obligated to make any payment to Indemnitee that is finally determined (under the procedures, and subject to the presumptions, set forth in Sections 6 and 7 hereof) to be unlawful.

 

3. Contribution .

 

(a) Whether or not the indemnification provided in Sections 1 and 2 hereof is available, in respect of any Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding) to a third party, and subject to Section 10 , the Company shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount of any judgment or settlement of such Proceeding without requiring Indemnitee to contribute to such payment and the Company hereby irrevocably waives and relinquishes any right of contribution it may have against Indemnitee. The Company shall not enter into any settlement of any Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding) unless such settlement provides for a full and final release of all claims asserted against Indemnitee.

 

(b) Without diminishing or impairing the obligations of the Company set forth in the preceding subparagraph, if, for any reason, Indemnitee shall elect or be required to pay all or any portion of any judgment or settlement in any Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), the Company shall contribute to the amount of Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable by Indemnitee in proportion to the relative benefits received by the Company and all officers, directors or employees of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, from the transaction from which such Proceeding arose; provided, however, that the proportion determined on the basis of relative benefit may, or to the extent necessary to conform to law, be further adjusted by reference to the relative fault of the Company and all officers, directors or employees of the Company other than Indemnitee who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, in connection with the events that resulted in such Expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts, as well as any other equitable considerations which applicable law may require to be considered. The relative fault of the Company and all officers, directors or employees of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the degree to which their actions were motivated by intent to gain personal profit or advantage, the degree to which their liability is primary or secondary in the degree to which their conduct is active or passive.

 

3
 

 

(c) The Company hereby agrees to fully indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless from any claims of contribution which may be brought by directors, officers, employees or other agents or representatives of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who may be jointly liable with Indemnitee, for amounts in excess of Indemnitee’s pro rata portion of the amount for which all of the foregoing persons are jointly liable.

 

(d) To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection with any claim relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee as a result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such Proceeding and/or (ii) the relative fault of the Company (and its directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s) and/or transactions, for amounts in excess of Indemnitee's pro rata portion of the amount for which all of the foregoing persons are jointly liable.

 

4. Indemnification for Expenses of a Witness . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his Company Status, a witness, or is made (or asked) to respond to discovery requests, in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, he shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith.

 

5. Advancement of Expenses . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding by reason of Indemnitee's Company Status within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall include or be preceded or accompanied by a written undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay any Expenses advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses. Any advances and undertakings to repay pursuant to this Section 5 shall be unsecured and interest free.

 

6. Procedures and Presumptions for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification; Limitations Period . It is the intent of this Agreement to secure for Indemnitee rights of indemnity that are as favorable as may be permitted under Delaware Law. Accordingly, the parties agree that the following procedures and presumptions shall apply in the event of any question as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement:

 

(a) To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure of Indemnitee to provide such a request to the Company, or to provide such a request in a timely fashion, shall not relieve the Company of any liability that it may have to Indemnitee unless the Company is materially prejudiced by such failure.

 

4
 

 

(b) Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of Section 6(a) hereof, a determination with respect to Indemnitee's entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case by one of the following four methods, which shall be at the election of the Board: (i) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum, (ii) by a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum, (iii) if there are no Disinterested Directors or if the Disinterested Directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Indemnitee or (iv) if so directed by the Board, by the stockholders of the Company; provided that from and after the date that a Change of Control occurs, a determination with respect to Indemnitee's entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case by Independent Counsel selected by Indemnitee and approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Indemnitee.

 

(c) If the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 6(b)(iii) hereof, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 6(c) . The Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board. Indemnitee may, within ten (10) days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company a written objection to such selection; provided, however, 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 23 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 a written objection is made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel 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 submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or other court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Indemnitee to the Company's 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, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 6(b) hereof. The Company shall pay any and all reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel incurred by such Independent Counsel in connection with acting pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof, and the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the procedures of this Section 6(c) , regardless of the manner in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed.

(d) In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence. Neither the failure of the Company (including by its directors or Independent Counsel) to have made a determination 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 an actual determination by the Company (including by its directors or 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.

 

(e) Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company if Indemnitee's action is based on (i) the records or books of account of the Enterprise, including financial statements, (ii) information supplied to Indemnitee by the directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives of the Enterprise in the course of their duties, (iii) the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise or (iv) information or records given or reports made to the Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant, appraiser or other expert or advisor selected by the Enterprise. In addition, the knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, employee, agent or representative of the Enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement. It shall in any event be presumed that Indemnitee has at all times acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence.

 

(f) If the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 6(b) to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a determination within sixty (60) days after the later of (i) receipt by the Company of the request therefor or (ii) selection of Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 6(c) hereof, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification 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; provided, however, that such 60-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days, if the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires such additional time to obtain or evaluate documentation and/or information relating thereto; and provided, further, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(f) shall not apply if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by the stockholders pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement and if (x) within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Company of the request for such determination, the Board or the Disinterested Directors, if appropriate, resolve to submit such determination to the stockholders for their consideration at an annual meeting thereof to be held within seventy-five (75) days after such receipt and such determination is made thereat, or (y) a special meeting of stockholders is called within fifteen (15) days after such receipt for the purpose of making such determination, such meeting is held for such purpose within sixty (60) days after having been so called and such determination is made thereat.

 

6
 

 

(g) Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance written 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 Independent Counsel, member of the Board or stockholder of the Company shall act reasonably and in good faith in making a determination regarding the Indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination 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.

 

(h) The Company acknowledges that a settlement or other disposition short of final judgment may be successful if it permits a party to avoid expense, delay, distraction, disruption and uncertainty. In the event that any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party is resolved in any manner other than by adverse judgment against Indemnitee (including, without limitation, settlement of such Proceeding with or without payment of money or other consideration) it shall be presumed that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in such Proceeding. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence.

 

(i) The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of 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, solely with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

(j) 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 spouse, heirs, executors or personal or legal representatives after the expiration of 1 year 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 1 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.

 

7. Remedies of Indemnitee .

 

(a) In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification is made pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement within ninety (90) days after the time periods set forth in Section 6(f) delivery to the Company of the request for indemnification or (iv) payment of indemnification is not made within ten (10) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or such determination is deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement or by a court of competent jurisdiction, as applicable, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication in an appropriate court of the State of Delaware, or in any other court of competent jurisdiction, of Indemnitee's entitlement to such indemnification. Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding seeking an adjudication within two (2) years following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 7(a) . The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee's right to seek any such adjudication.

 

7
 

 

(b) In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 7 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial on the merits, and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of the adverse determination under Section 6(b) .

 

(c) If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 7 , absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee's misstatement not materially misleading in connection with the application for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.

 

(d) To the fullest extent allowable under applicable law, in the event that Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 7 , seeks a judicial adjudication of his rights hereunder, recovery of damages for breach of this Agreement, or recovery under any directors' and officers' liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, the Company shall pay on his behalf, in advance, any and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in such judicial adjudication, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance recovery; provided , that in the event Indemnitee is ultimately determined not to be entitled to such indemnification or insurance recovery, as the case may be, then all amounts advanced pursuant to this Section 7(d) shall be repaid to the Company by Indemnitee.

 

(e) The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 7 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (within ten (10) days after delivery to the Company of a written request therefore) advance, to the extent not prohibited by law, such expenses to Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action brought by Indemnitee for indemnification or advance of Expenses from the Company under this Agreement or under any directors' and officers' liability insurance policies maintained by the Company.

 

(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.

 

8
 

 

8. Defense of Underlying Proceedings .

 

(a) Indemnitee agrees to notify the Company promptly upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information, or other document relating to any Proceeding which may result in the payment of indemnifiable amounts or the advancement of Expenses hereunder; provided , however, that the failure to give any such notice shall not disqualify Indemnitee from the right, or otherwise affect in any manner any right of Indemnitee, to receive indemnification or advancements of Expenses unless the Company’s ability to defend in such Proceeding is materially and adversely prejudiced thereby.

 

(b) Subject to the provisions of the last sentence of this Section 8(b) and of Section 8(c) below, the Company shall have the right to defend Indemnitee in any Proceeding which may give rise to the payment of indemnifiable amounts hereunder; provided , however that the Company shall notify Indemnitee of any such decision to defend within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of notice of any such Proceeding under Section 8(a) above. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, consent to the entry of any judgment against Indemnitee or enter into any settlement or compromise which (i) includes an admission of fault of Indemnitee or (ii) does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the full release of Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such Proceeding, which release shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee. This Section 8(b) shall not apply to a Proceeding brought by Indemnitee.

 

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8(b) above, if in a Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party by reason of Indemnitee’s Company Status, (i) Indemnitee reasonably concludes that he or she may have separate defenses or counterclaims to assert with respect to any issue which may not be consistent with the position of other defendants in such Proceeding, (ii) a conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest exists between Indemnitee and the Company, or (iii) if the Company fails to assume the defense of such proceeding in a timely manner, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be represented by separate legal counsel of Indemnitee’s choice at the expense of the Company.

 

9. Non-Exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance; Primacy of Indemnification .

 

(a) The rights of indemnification provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or any similar governing documents), certificate of designation or otherwise of any Enterprise. 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 his Company Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in the Delaware Law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification than would be afforded currently under the Certificate of Incorporation and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. 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.

 

9
 

 

(b) To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, managers, officers, employees or agents or fiduciaries of any Enterprise, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary 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 director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.

 

(c) The Company hereby acknowledges that Indemnitee has certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by the Fund. The Company hereby agrees (i) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Fund to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by Indemnitee are secondary), (ii) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount of all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement and the Certificate of Incorporation (or any other agreement between the Company and Indemnitee), without regard to any rights Indemnitee may have against the Fund, and (iii) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Fund from any and all claims against the Fund for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Fund on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing, and the Fund shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of any such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee against the Company. The Company and Indemnitee agree that the Fund is an express third party beneficiary of the terms of this Section 8(c) .

 

(d) Except as provided in Section 8(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 (other than against the Fund or their insurers), 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.

 

(e) Except as provided in Section 8(c) , the Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

 

(f) Except as provided in Section 8(c) , the Company's obligation to indemnify or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise.

 

10
 

 

10. Exception to Right of Indemnification . Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to indemnify any Indemnitee in connection with any claim made against Indemnitee:

 

(a) for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision provided , however, that the foregoing shall not affect the rights of Indemnitee or the Fund set forth in Section 8(c) ;

 

(b) for an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, any successor statute or any similar provisions of state statutory law or common law;

 

(c) 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, agents, representatives or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Board authorized the Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) prior to its initiation or (ii) the Company provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law; or

 

(d) if such indemnification is prohibited by applicable law.

 

11. Duration of Agreement . All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period Indemnitee is a director or officer of the Company (or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, manager, officer, employee or agent of another limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) and for a period of six (6) years thereafter and shall continue thereafter so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any Proceeding (or any proceeding commenced under Section 7 hereof) by reason of his Company Status, whether or not he is acting or serving in any such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification can be provided under this Agreement.

 

12. Successors . This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company), assigns, spouses, heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives.

 

13. Enforcement .

14. Entire Agreement . This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

 

15. Severability . Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or the effectiveness or validity of any provision in any other jurisdiction, and this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement is intended to confer upon Indemnitee indemnification rights to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws.

 

16. Modification and Waiver . No supplement, modification, termination or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of 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. The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

 

17. Notices . All notices, demands or other communications to be given or delivered under or by reason of the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given or made (i) when delivered personally to the recipient, (ii) when sent by confirmed facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient; but if not, then on the next Business Day (provided that any such notice under this clause (ii) shall not be effective unless within one Business Day after the notice is sent, a copy of such notice is sent to the recipient by first-class mail, return receipt requested, or reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid)), (iii) one Business Day after it is sent to the recipient by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid) or (iv) three Business Days after it is mailed to the recipient by first-class mail, return receipt requested.

or to such other address as may have been furnished to Indemnitee by the Company or to the Company by Indemnitee, as the case may be.

 

18. Counterparts; Electronic Delivery . This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts with the same effect as if all signing parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and constitute the same instrument. This Agreement, the agreements referred to herein, and each other agreement or instrument entered into in connection herewith or therewith or contemplated hereby or thereby, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a photographic, photostatic, facsimile, or similar reproduction of such signed writing using a facsimile machine or electronic mail shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto or as required by any such agreement or instrument, each other party hereto or thereto shall execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or electronic mail to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or electronic mail as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.

 

19. Headings . The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a substantive part of this Agreement.

 

20. Governing Law and Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. The Company and Indemnitee each hereby irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the State of Delaware and the state courts of the State of Delaware for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby. Each party hereto further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by United States certified or registered mail to such party's address set forth in Section 17 or such other address or to the attention of such other person as the recipient party has specified by prior written notice to the sending party shall be effective service of process in any action, suit or proceeding in Delaware with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction as set forth above in the immediately preceding sentence. Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the United States District Court for the State of Delaware or the state courts of the State of Delaware and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

21. MUTUAL WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL . BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING THE COMPANY) HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND/OR THE RELATIONSHIPS ESTABLISHED AMONG THE PARTIES HEREUNDER.
