COPSYNC, INC.

 

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

 

This Indemnification Agreement (“ Agreement ”) is made as of this 14th day of October, 2009, by and between COPsync, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), and ________________ (“ Indemnitee ”).

 

WHEREAS , the Company and Indemnitee recognize the significant cost of directors’ and officers’ liability insur­ance and the general reductions in the coverage of such insurance;

 

WHEREAS , the Company and Indemnitee further recognize the substantial increase in corporate litigation in general, subjecting officers and directors to expensive litigation risks at the same time as the coverage of liability insurance has been severely limited; and

 

WHEREAS , the Company desires to attract and retain the services of highly qualified individuals, such as Indemnitee, to serve as officers and directors of the Company and to indemnify its officers and directors so as to provide them with the maximum protection permitted by law.

 

NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration for Indemnitee’s services as an officer or director of the Company, the Company and Indemnitee hereby agree as follows:

 

1.       Indemnification .

 

(a)       Third Party Proceedings .  The Company shall indem­nify Indemnitee if Indemnitee is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, proceeding or any alternative dispute resolution mechanism, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or any subsidiary of the Company, or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corpo­ra­tion, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) actually and reason­ably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indem­nitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.  The termina­tion of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settle­ment, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equiva­lent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

 

 

 

 


 

 

(b)       Proceedings By or in the Right of the Company .  The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee if Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or any subsidiary of the Company, or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indem­nitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indem­nitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or such other court shall deem proper.

 

(c)       Mandatory Payment of Expenses .  To the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Subsec­tions (a) and (b) of this Section 1, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection therewith.

 

2.       Expenses; Indemnification Procedure .

 

(a)       Advancement of Expenses .  The Company shall advance all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the inves­ti­ga­tion, defense, settlement or appeal of any civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding referenced in Section 1(a) or 1(b) hereof (but not amounts actually paid in settlement of any such action, suit or proceeding).  Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay such amounts advanced only if, and to the extent that, it shall ulti­mately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indem­nified by the Company as authorized hereby.  The advances to be made hereunder shall be paid by the Company to Indemnitee within thirty (30) days following delivery of a written request therefor by Indemnitee to the Company.

 

(b)       Notice/Cooperation by Indemnitee .  Indemnitee shall, as a condition precedent to his right to be indemnified under this Agreement, give the Company notice in writing as soon as practic­able of any claim made agains
