Common use of Securities and Exchange Commission Clause in Contracts

Securities and Exchange Commission. Indemnitee acknowledges that the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") has expressed its opinion that indemnification of directors and officers from liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") is against public policy and therefore unenforceable. Indemnitee hereby agrees that it will not be a breach of this Agreement for the Corporation to agree with the SEC in connection with the registration for sale of any stock or other securities of the Corporation from time to time that, in the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Corporation of expenses incurred or paid by a director or officer of the Corporation in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted in connection with such stock or other securities being registered, the Corporation will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of competent jurisdiction the question of whether or not such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. Indemnitee further agrees that such submission to a court of competent jurisdiction shall not be a breach of this Agreement.
