This Amended and Restated Indemnification Agreement (this Agreement) is entered into as of the 1st day of August, 2005 between IDT Corporation, a Delaware corporation (IDT); and IDT Spectrum, Inc. (IDT Spectrum).
R E C I T A L S
WHEREAS, on in December, 2004 and January, 2005 (the Transfer Date) certain subsidiaries of IDT transferred certain assets (the Transferred Assets) and liabilities to IDT Spectrum and a subsidiary of IDT Spectrum;
WHEREAS, it is in IDTs best interest to relieve IDT Spectrum from certain potential liabilities related to the such Transferred Assets and liabilities; and
WHEREAS, IDT has agreed to indemnify IDT Spectrum with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities which have not been assigned to, or assumed by, IDT Spectrum;
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, IDT and IDT Spectrum hereby agree as follows:
1. Indemnification.
From and after the date hereof, IDT shall indemnify and hold harmless IDT Spectrum and its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, stockholders and controlling persons (the Indemnified Parties) for, and will pay to the Indemnified Parties the amount of, any losses, claims, damages (including incidental and consequential damages), expenses (including attorneys fees and all other costs, expenses and obligations incurred in connection with investigating, defending a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend, be a witness in or participate in, any action, suit, proceeding, alternative dispute resolution mechanism, hearing, inquiry or investigation), liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement of any third-party claim, and any federal, state, local or foreign taxes imposed on such Indemnified Parties as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under this Agreement, whether or not involving a third-party claim (any and all of the foregoing being referred to hereafter as Damages), including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Damages, to the fullest extent permitted by law, in each case arising from the matters set forth in Schedule A hereto, whether or not such Damages were incurred prior to or after the date of this Agreement. Such payment of Damages shall be made by IDT as soon as practicable but in any event no later than ten (10) days after written demand by an Indemnified Party therefor is presented to IDT.
To the extent that IDT sells Winstar Holdings, LLC or its assets, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any indemnification from the buyer thereof related to activities of the transferred entity or assets following the closing of such transaction inure to the benefit of the Indemnified Parties as well.
2. Damages; Indemnification Procedure.
(a) Advancement of Expenses. If any of the Indemnified Parties was or is or becomes a party to or witness or other participant in, or is 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, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other, in each case for which it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 1, or any hearing, inquiry or investigation that IDT Spectrum in good faith believes might lead to the institution of any such action, suit, proceeding or alternative dispute resolution mechanism, IDT shall advance all expenses incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection therewith. The advances to be made hereunder shall be paid by IDT to such Indemnified Party as soon as practicable but in any event no later than ten (10) days after written demand by an Indemnified Party therefor to IDT.
(b) Notice/Cooperation by IDT Spectrum. Each Indemnified Party shall give IDT notice in writing as soon as practicable of any third-party claim made against such Indemnified Party for which indemnification will be sought under this Agreement. In addition, each Indemnified Party shall give IDT such information and cooperation as it may reasonably require and as shall be within such Indemnified Partys power.
3. Termination. IDT and IDT Spectrum acknowledge that this Agreement is being entered into in anticipation of the completion of a public offering of common stock of IDT Spectrum and IDTs desire to facilitate that process and ensure the success of that transaction. Accordingly, this Agreement and the parties obligations hereunder shall terminate if such offering shall not have been consummated on or prior to January 31, 2006.
4. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original.
5. 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 IDT. IDT 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 IDT, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to each Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that IDT would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.
6. Attorneys Fees. In the event that any action is instituted by any Indemnified Party under this Agreement or under any liability insurance policies maintained by IDT to enforce or interpret any of the terms hereof or thereof, such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to be paid all Damages incurred by such Indemnified Party with respect to such action, regardless of whether such Indemnified Party 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 determine
