EXHIBIT 10.2
SOLECTRON CORPORATION
FORM OF INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
This Indemnification Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into as of
the ___ day of _____________________, 1997 by and between Solectron
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company") and ________________
("Indemnitee").
RECITALS
A. The Company and Indemnitee recognize the continued difficulty
in obtaining liability insurance for its directors, officers, employees,
agents and fiduciaries, the significant increases in the cost of such
insurance and the general reductions in the coverage of such insurance.
B. The Company and Indemnitee further recognize the substantial
increase in corporate litigation in general, subjecting directors,
officers, employees, agents and fiduciaries to expensive litigation
risks at the same time as the availability and coverage of liability
insurance has been severely limited.
C. Indemnitee does not regard the current protection available as
adequate under the present circumstances, and Indemnitee and other
directors, officers, employees, agents and fiduciaries of the Company
may not be willing to continue to serve in such capacities without
additional protection.
D. The Company desires to attract and retain the services of
highly qualified individuals, such as Indemnitee, to serve the Company
and, in part, in order to induce Indemnitee to continue to provide
services to the Company, wishes to provide for the indemnification and
advancing of expenses to Indemnitees to the maximum extent permitted by
law.
E. In view of the considerations set forth above, the Company
desires that Indemnitee be indemnified by the Company as set forth
herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Indemnitee hereby agree as follows:
1. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) INDEMNIFICATION OF EXPENSES. The Company shall indemnify
to the fullest extent permitted by law if Indemnitee was or is or
becomes a party to or witness or other participant in, or are threatened
to be made a party to or witness or other participant in, any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit, proceeding or alternative
dispute resolution mechanism, or any hearing, inquiry or investigation
that Indemnitee in good faith believe might lead to the institution of
any such action, suit, proceeding or alternative dispute resolution
mechanism, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or
other (hereinafter a "Claim") by reason of (or arising in part out of)
any event or occurrence related to the fact that Indemnitee is or was a
director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company, or any
subsidiary of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the
Company as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or
by reason of any action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee while
serving in such capacity (hereinafter an "Indemnifiable Event") against
any and all expenses (including attorneys' fees and all other costs,
expenses and obligations incurred in connection with investigating,
defending, being a witness in or participating in (including on appeal),
or preparing to defend, be a witness in or participate in, any such
action, suit, proceeding, alternative dispute resolution mechanism,
hearing, inquiry or investigation), judgments, fines, penalties and
amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by
the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) of such
Claim and any federal, state, local or foreign taxes imposed on
Indemnitees as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments
under this Agreement (collectively, hereinafter "Expenses"), including
all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in
connection with or in respect of such Expenses. Such payment of
Expenses shall be made by the Company as soon as practicable but in any
event no later than twenty days after written demand by Indemnitees
therefor is presented to the Company.
(b) REVIEWING PARTY. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the
obligations of the Company under Section 1(a) shall be subject to the
condition that the Reviewing Party (as described in Section 10(e)
hereof) shall not have determined (in a written opinion, in any case in
which the Independent Legal Counsel referred to in Section 1(c) hereof
is involved) that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified
under applicable law, and (ii) the obligation of the Company to make an
advance payment of Expenses to Indemnitee pursuant to Section 2(a) (an
"Expense Advance") shall be subject to the condition that, if, when and
to the extent that the Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee would
not be permitted to be so indemnified under applicable law, the Company
shall be entitled to be reimbursed by Indemnitee (who hereby agree to
reimburse the Company) for all such amounts theretofore paid; provided,
however, that if Indemnitee has commenced or thereafter commence legal
proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to secure a
determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable
law, any determination made by the Reviewing Party that Indemnitee would
not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law shall not be
binding and Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company
for any Expense Advance until a final judicial determination is made
with respect thereto (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have
been exhausted or lapsed). The Indemnitee's obligation to reimburse the
Company for any Expense Advance shall be unsecured and no interest shall
be charged thereon. If there has not been a Change in Control (as
defined in Section 10(c) hereof), the Reviewing Party shall be selected
by the Board of Directors, and if there has been such a Change in
Control (other than a Change in Control which has been approved by a
majority of the Company's Board of Directors who were directors
immediately prior to such Change in Control), the Reviewing Party shall
be the Independent Legal Counsel referred to in Section 1(c) hereof. If
there has been no determination by the Reviewing Party or if the
Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee substantively would not be
permitted to be indemnified in whole or in part under applicable law,
Indemnitee shall have the right to commence litigation seeking an
initial determination by the court or challenging any such determination
by the Reviewing Party or any aspect thereof, including the legal or
factual bases therefor, and the Company hereby consents to service of
process and to appear in any such proceeding. Any determination by the
Reviewing Party otherwise shall be conclusive and binding on the Company
and Indemnitee.
(c) CHANGE IN CONTROL. The Company agrees that if there is a
Change in Control of the Company (other than a Change in Control which
has been approved by a majority of the Company's Board of Directors who
were directors immediately prior to such Change in Control) then, with
respect to all matters thereafter arising concerning the rights of
Indemnitees to payments of Expenses and Expense Advances under this
Agreement or any other agreement or under the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws as now or hereafter in effect, Independent Legal
Counsel (as defined in Section 10(d) hereof) shall be selected by
Indemnitees and approved by the Company (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld). Such counsel, among other things, shall render
its written opinion to the Company and Indemnitee as to whether and to
what extent Indemnitee would be permitted to be indemnified under
applicable law and the Company agrees to abide by such opinion. The
Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Legal
Counsel referred to above and to fully indemnify such counsel against
any and all expenses (including attorneys' fees), claims, liabilities
and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its
engagement pursuant hereto.
(d) MANDATORY PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement other than Section 8 hereof, to the extent
that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise,
including, without limitation, the dismissal of an action without
prejudice, in defense of any action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or
investigation referred to in Section (1)(a) hereof or in the defense of
any claim, issue or matter therein, Indemnitee shall be indemnified
against all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection therewith.
2. EXPENSES; INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURE.
(a) ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES. The Company shall advance all
Expenses incurred by Indemnitee. The advances to be made hereunder
shall be paid by the Company to Indemnitee as soon as practicable but in
any event no later than twenty days after written demand by Indemnitee
therefor to the Company.
(b) NOTICE/COOPERATION BY INDEMNITEE. Indemnitee shall, as a
condition precedent to Indemnitee's right to be indemnified under this
Agreement, give the Company notice in writing as soon as practicable of
any Claim made against Indemnitee for which indemnification will or
could be sought under this Agreement. Notice to the Company shall be
directed to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company at the address
shown on the signature page of this Agreement (or such other address as
the Company shall designate in writing to Indemnitee). In addition,
Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and cooperation as it
may reasonably require and as shall be within Indemnitee's power.
(c) NO PRESUMPTIONS; BURDEN OF PROOF. For purposes of this
Agreement, the termination of any Claim by judgment, order, settlement
(whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea
of NOLO CONTENDERE, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption
that Indemnitee did not meet any particular standard of conduct or have
any particular belief or that a court has determined that
indemnification is not permitted by applicable law. In addition,
neither the failure of the Reviewing Party to have made a determination
as to whether Indemnitee has met any particular standard of conduct or
had any particular belief, nor an actual determination by the Reviewing
Party that Indemnitee has not met such standard of conduct or did not
have such belief, prior to the commencement of legal proceedings by
Indemnitee to secure a judicial determination that Indemnitee should be
indemnified under applicable law, shall be a defense to Indemnitee's
claim or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met any particular
standard of conduct or did not have any particular belief. In
connection with any determination by the Reviewing Party or otherwise as
to whether Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified hereunder, the
burden of proof shall be on the Company to establish that Indemnitee is
not so entitled.
(d) NOTICE TO INSURERS. If, at the time of the receipt by the
Company of a notice of a Claim pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, the
Company has liability insurance in effect which may cover such Claim,
the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such Claim
to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the
respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or
desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee,
all amounts payable as a result of such action, suit, proceeding,
inquiry or investigation in accordance with the terms of such policies.
(e) SELECTION OF COUNSEL. In the event the Company shall be
obligated hereunder to pay the Expenses of any Claim, the Company shall
be entitled to assume the defense of such Claim with counsel approved by
Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, upon the
delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election so to do.
After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee
and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not
be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel
subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same Claim;
provided that, (i) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ
Indemnitee's counsel in any such Claim at Indemnitee's expense and
(ii) if (A) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously
authorized by the Company, (B) Indemnitee shall have reasonably
concluded that there is a conflict of interest between the Company and
Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense, or (C) the Company shall
not continue to retain such counsel to defend such Claim, then the fees
and expenses of Indemnitee's counsel shall be at the expense of the
Company. The Company shall have the right to conduct such defense as it
sees fit in its sole discretion, including the right to settle any claim
against Indemnitee without the consent of the Indemnitee.
3. ADDITIONAL INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS; NONEXCLUSIVITY.
(a) SCOPE. The Company hereby agrees to indemnify Indemnitee
to the fullest extent permitted by law, notwithstanding that such
indemnification is not specifically authorized by the other provisions
of this Agreement, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, the
Company's Bylaws or by statute. In the event of any change after the
date of this Agreement in any applicable law, statute or rule which
expands the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its
Board of Directors or an officer, employee, agent or fiduciary, it is
the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this
Agreement the greater benefits afforded by such change. In the event of
any change in any applicable law, statute or rule which narrows the
right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its Board of
Directors or an officer, employee, agent or fiduciary, such change, to
the extent not otherwise required by such law, statute or rule to be
applied to this Agreement, shall have no effect on this Agreement or the
parties' rights and obligations hereunder except as set forth in Section
8(a) hereof.
(b) NONEXCLUSIVITY. The indemnification provided by this
Agreement shall be in addition to any rights to which Indemnitee may be
entitled under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, its Bylaws,
any agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or otherwise. The
indemnification provided under this Agreement shall continue as to
Indemnitee for any action Indemnitee took or did not take while serving
in an indemnified capacity even though Indemnitee may have ceased to
serve in such capacity.
4. NO DUPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. The Company shall not be liable
under this Agreement to make any payment in connection with any Claim
made against Indemnitee to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually
received payment (under any insurance policy, Certificate of
Incorporation, Bylaw or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise
indemnifiable hereunder.
5. PARTIAL INDEMNIFICATION. If Indemnitee is entitled under any
provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some
or a portion of Expenses incurred in connection with any Claim, but not,
however, for all of the total amount thereof, the Company shall
nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses to
which Indemnitee is entitled.
6. MUTUAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Both the Company and Indemnitee
acknowledge that in certain instances, Federal law or applicable public
policy may prohibit the Company from indemnifying its directors,
officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries under this Agreement or
otherwise. Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the Company has
undertaken or may be required in the future to undertake with the
Securities and Exchange Commission to submit the question of
indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a determination
of the Company's right under public policy to indemnify Indemnitee.
7. LIABILITY INSURANCE. The Company shall, from time to time,
make the good faith determination whether or not it is practicable for
the Company to obtain and maintain a policy or policies of insurance
with reputable insurance companies providing the officers and directors
of the Company with coverage for losses from wrongful acts, or to ensure
the Company's performance of its indemnification obligations under this
Agreement. Among other considerations, the Company will weigh the costs
of obtaining such insurance coverage against the protection afforded by
such coverage. In all policies of directors' and officers' liability
insurance, Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a manner as
to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are accorded to
the most favorably insured of the Company's directors, if Indemnitee is
a director; or of the Company's officers, if Indemnitee is not a
director of the Company but is an officer; or of the Company's key
employees, if Indemnitee is not an officer or director but is a key
employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no
obligation to obtain or maintain such insurance if the Company
determines in good faith that such insurance is not reasonably
available, if the premium costs for such insurance are disproportionate
to the amount of coverage provided, if the coverage provided by such
insurance is limited by exclusions so as to provide an insufficient
benefit, or if Indemnitee is covered by similar insurance maintained by
a subsidiary or parent of the Company.
8. EXCEPTIONS. Any other provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement:
(a) EXCLUDED ACTION OR OMISSIONS. To indemnify Indemnitee for
Expenses resulting from acts, omissions or transactions for which
Indemnitee is prohibited from receiving indemnification under this
Agreement or applicable law;
(b) CLAIMS INITIATED BY INDEMNITEE. To indemnify or advance
expenses to Indemnitee with respect to Claims initiated or brought
voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by way of defense, except (i) with
respect to actions or proceedings brought to establish or enforce a
right to indemnification under this Agreement or any other agreement or
insurance policy or under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or
Bylaws now or hereafter in effect relating to Claims for Indemnifiable
Events, (ii) in specific cases if the Board of Directors has approved
the initiation or bringing of such Claim, or (iii) as otherwise required
under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, regardless of
whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such
indemnification, advance expense payment or insurance recovery, as the
case may be;
(c) LACK OF GOOD FAITH. To indemnify Indemnitee for any
expenses incurred by Indemnitee with respect to any proceeding
instituted by Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement, if a
court of competent jurisdiction determines that each of the material
assertions made by Indemnitee in such proceeding was not made in good
faith or was frivolous; or
(d) CLAIMS UNDER SECTION 16(B). To indemnify Indemnitee for
expenses and the payment of profits arising from the purchase and sale
by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any similar successor
statute.
9. PERIOD OF LIMITATIONS. No legal action shall be brought and no
cause of action shall be asserted by or in the right of the Company
against Indemnitee, Indemnitee's estate, spouse, heirs, executors or
personal or legal representatives after the expiration of two years from
the date of accrual of such cause of action, and any claim or cause of
action of the Company shall be extinguished and deemed released unless
asserted by the timely filing of a legal action within such two-year
period; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if any shorter period of limitations is
otherwise applicable to any such cause of action, such shorter period
shall govern.
10. CONSTRUCTION OF CERTAIN PHRASES.
(a) For purposes of this Agreement, references to the
"Company" shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any
constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent)
absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence
had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its
directors, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries, so that if
Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary
of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of
such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent or
fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee
benefit plan, trust or other enterprise, Indemnitee shall stand in the
same position under the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the
resulting or surviving corporation as Indemnitee would have with respect
to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.
(b) For purposes of this Agreement, references to "other
enterprises" shall include employee benefit plans; references to "fines"
shall include any excise taxes assessed on Indemnitee with respect to an
employee benefit plan; and references to "serving at the request of the
Company" shall include any service as a director, officer, employee,
agent or fiduciary of the Company which imposes duties on, or involves
services by, such director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary with
respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or its
beneficiaries; and if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner
Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants
and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan, Indemnitee shall be
deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best interests of
the Company" as referred to in this Agreement.
(c) For purposes of this Agreement a "Change in Control" shall
be deemed to have occurred IF, ON OR AFTER THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT,
(i) any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), other than a trustee
or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of
the Company acting in such capacity or a corporation owned directly or
indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same
proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company, becomes the
"beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly
or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than 50%
of the total voting power represented by the Company's then outstanding
Voting Securities, (ii) during any period of two consecutive years,
individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of
Directors of the Company and any new director whose election by the
Board of Directors or nomination for election by the Company's
stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two thirds (2/3) of the
directors then still in office who either were directors at the begin-
ning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was
previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority
thereof, or (iii) the stockholders of the Company approve a merger or
consolidation of the Company with any other corporation other than a
merger or consolidation which would result in the Voting Securities of
the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to
represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into
Voting Securities of the surviving entity) at least 80% of the total
voting power represented by the Voting Securities of the Company or such
surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or
consolidation, or the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of
complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or
disposition by the Company of (in one transaction or a series of related
transactions) all or substantially all of the Company's assets.
(d) For purposes of this Agreement, "Independent Legal
Counsel" shall mean an attorney or firm of attorneys, selected in
accordance with the provisions of Section 1(c) hereof, who shall not
have otherwise performed services for the Company or Indemnitees within
the last three years (other than with respect to matters concerning the
rights of Indemnitees under this Agreement, or of other indemnitees
under similar indemnity agreements).
(e) For purposes of this Agreement, a "Reviewing Party" shall
mean any appropriate person or body consisting of a member or members of
the Company's Board of Directors or any other person or body appointed
by the Board of Directors who is not a party to the particular Claim for
which Indemnitee are seeking indemnification, or Independent Legal
Counsel.
(f) For purposes of this Agreement, "Voting Securities" shall
mean any securities of the Company that vote generally in the election
of directors.
11. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original.
12. BINDING EFFECT; SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, including any
direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or
otherwise to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of
the Company, spouses, heirs, and personal and legal representatives.
The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or
indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all,
substantially all, or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets
of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory
to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement
in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be
required to perform if no such succession had taken place. This
Agreement shall continue in effect with respect to Claims relating to
Indemnifiable Events regardless of whether Indemnitee continues to serve
as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company or
of any other enterprise at the Company's request.
13. ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event that any action is instituted
by Indemnitee under this Agreement or under any liability insurance
policies maintained by the Company to enforce or interpret any of the
terms hereof or thereof, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid all
Expenses incurred by Indemnitee with respect to such action, regardless
of whether Indemnitee is ultimately successful in such action, and shall
be entitled to the advancement of Expenses with respect to such action,
unless, as a part of such action, a court of competent jurisdiction over
such action determines that each of the material assertions made by
Indemnitee as a basis for such action was not made in good faith or was
frivolous. In the event of an action instituted by or in the name of
the Company under this Agreement to enforce or interpret any of the
terms of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid all
Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in defense of such action (including
costs and expenses incurred with respect to Indemnitee's counterclaims
and cross-claims made in such action), and shall be entitled to the
advancement of Expenses with respect to such action, unless, as a part
of such action, a court having jurisdiction over such action determines
that each of Indemnitee's material defenses to such action was made in
bad faith or was frivolous.
14. NOTICE. All notices and other communications required or
permitted hereunder shall be in writing, shall be effective when given,
and shall in any event be deemed to be given (a) five (5) days after
deposit with the U.S. Postal Service or other applicable postal service,
if delivered by first class mail, postage prepaid, (b) upon delivery, if
delivered by hand, (c) one business day after the business day of

this Agreement and if to the Company at the address of its principal
corporate offices (attention: Secretary) or at such other address as
such party may designate by ten days' advance written notice to the
other party hereto.
15. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. The Company and Indemnitee each
hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the
State of Delaware for all purposes in connection with any action or
proceeding which arises out of or relates to this Agreement and agree
that any action instituted under this Agreement shall be commenced,
prosecuted and continued only in the Court of Chancery of the State of
Delaware in and for New Castle County, which shall be the exclusive and
only proper forum for adjudicating such a claim.
16. SEVERABILITY. The provisions of this Agreement shall be
severable in the event that any of the provisions hereof (including any
provision within a single section, paragraph or sentence) are held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or otherwise
unenforceable, and the remaining provisions shall remain enforceable to
the fullest extent permitted by law. Furthermore, to the fullest extent
possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without
limitations, each portion of this Agreement containing any provision
held to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, that is not itself
invalid, void or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect
to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable.
17. CHOICE OF LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and its
provisions construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the
State of Delaware, as applied to contracts between Delaware residents,
entered into and to be performed entirely within the State of Delaware,
without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.
18. SUBROGATION. In the event of payment under this Agreement,
the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of
the rights of recovery of Indemnitee who shall execute all documents
required and shall do all acts that may be necessary to secure such
rights and to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce
such rights.
19. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. No amendment, modification,
termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless
it is in writing signed by both the parties hereto. No waiver of any of
the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a
waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall
such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.
20. INTEGRATION AND ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement sets forth
the entire understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes and
merges all previous written and oral negotiations, commitments,
understandings and agreements relating to the subject matter hereof
between the parties hereto.
21. NO CONSTRUCTION AS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT. Nothing contained in
this Agreement shall be construed as giving Indemnitee any right to be
retained in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement
as of the date first above written.
