INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
RTI INTERNATIONAL METALS, INC.
AND
THIS AGREEMENT is
made this ___day of
, 20 ___ by and between RTI International Metals, Inc., an Ohio
corporation (the “Corporation”), and
, an individual and a director and/or officer of the Corporation
(the “Indemnitee”).
WHEREAS,
Indemnitee is either a member of the Board of Directors or an
officer of the Corporation, or both, and in such capacity is
performing a valuable service for the Corporation;
WHEREAS, the
Corporation has adopted a Code of Regulations (the
“Code”) wherein Article IV Section 1 provides
for the indemnification of the Board of Directors and officers of
the Corporation to the full extent permitted by law;
WHEREAS, the Ohio
General Corporation Law, as amended to date (the “Ohio
Statute”) specifically provides in Section 1701.13(E)(6)
that it is not exclusive, and thereby contemplates that contracts
may be entered into between the Corporation and its directors and
officers with respect to indemnification of such
persons;
WHEREAS,
developments with respect to the application, amendment and
enforcement of statutory and other indemnification provisions
generally have raised questions concerning the adequacy and
reliability of the protection afforded to directors and officers
thereby; and
WHEREAS, in order
to resolve such questions and thereby induce Indemnitee to continue
to serve as a member of the Board of Directors of the Corporation
or an officer, or both, the Corporation has determined and agreed
to enter into this contract with Indemnitee;
NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of Indemnitee’s continued service with the
Corporation after the date hereof the parties agree as
follows:
1. D&O
INSURANCE. The Corporation represents that it has directors and
officers liability insurance (“D&O
Insurance”).
2. INDEMNITY.
Subject only to the exclusions set forth in Section 3 hereof,
the Corporation hereby further agrees to hold harmless and
indemnify Indemnitee against any and all expenses (including
attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee (and any
federal, state, local or foreign taxes imposed as
2
a result of the
actual or deemed receipt of any payments under this Agreement) in
connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit
or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (including an action by or in the right of the
Corporation) to which Indemnitee is, was or at any time becomes a
party, or is threatened to be made a party, by reason of the fact
that Indemnitee is, was or at any time becomes a director or
officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving or at any time
serves at the request of the Corporation as a director, trustee,
officer, employee, member, manager or agent of another corporation,
limited liability Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise to the fullest extent authorized and permitted by
the provisions of the Ohio Statute, or by any amendment thereof or
other statutory provisions authorizing or permitting such
indemnification which is adopted after the date hereof.
3. LIMITATIONS
ON INDEMNITY. No indemnity pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall
be paid by the Corporation:
(a) except to the
extent the aggregate of losses to be indemnified hereunder exceed
the amount of such losses for which the Indemnitee is indemnified
either pursuant to Section 2 hereof or pursuant to any D&O
Insurance purchased and maintained by the Corporation;
(b) in respect to
remuneration paid to Indemnitee if it shall be determined by a
final judgment or other final adjudication that such remuneration
was in violation of law;
(c) on account of
any suit in which judgment is rendered against an Indemnitee for an
accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by Indemnitee
of securities of the Corporation pursuant to the provisions of
Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and amendments
thereto or similar provisions of any federal, state or local
statutory law;
(d) on account of
Indemnitee’s act or omission being finally adjudged to have
involved an act or omission undertaken with deliberate intent to
cause injury to the Corporation or undertaken with reckless
disregard for the best interests of the Corporation; or
(e) if a final
decision by a Court having jurisdiction in the matter shall
determine that such indemnification is not lawful.
4. ADVANCEMENT
OF EXPENSES.
(a) As and to the
extent provided in Section 1701.13 (E)(5)(a) of the Ohio
Statute, the Corporation shall pay any expenses, including
attorney’s fees, incurred by Indemnitee in defending any
action, suit, or proceeding, as they are incurred, in advance of
the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding provided
that Indemnitee agrees to repay such amount if it is proved by
clear and convincing evidence in a court of competent jurisdiction
that his action or failure to act involved an act or omission
undertaken with deliberate intent to cause injury to the
Corporation or undertaken with reckless disregard for the
Corporation, and the Indemnitee agrees to reasonably cooperate with
the Corporation concerning such action, suit or
proceeding.
3
(b) As and to the
extent provided in Section 1701.13 (E)(5)(b) of the Ohio
Statute, the Corporation shall pay any expenses, including
attorney’s fees, incurred by Indemnitee in defending any
action, suit or proceeding as they are incurred, in advance of the
final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding based, in
part, on the undertaking of Indemnitee set forth in Section 7
hereof, provided that such advancement by the Corporation is
authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation in the
specific case.
5. CONTINUATION
OF INDEMNITY. All agreements and obligations of the Corporation
contained herein shall continue during the period Indemnitee is a
director or officer of the Corporation (or is or was serving at the
request of the Corporation as a director, trustee, officer,
employee, member, manager or agent of another corporation, limited
liability Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise) and shall continue thereafter so l
