INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
This Indemnification Agreement made and entered into this 14th day of February, 2006 (Agreement), by and between Natrol, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with any successor or successors thereto, the Company) and Wayne Bos (Indemnitee):
WHEREAS, it is essential to the Company that it be able to retain and attract as directors the most capable persons available;
WHEREAS, increased corporate litigation has subjected directors to litigation risks and expenses and the limitations on the availability of directors and officers liability insurance have made it increasingly difficult for the Company to attract and retain such persons;
WHEREAS, its by-laws permit the Company to indemnify its directors to the fullest extent permitted by law and permit the Company to make other indemnification arrangements and agreements;
WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide Indemnitee with specific contractual assurance of Indemnitees rights to full indemnification against litigation risks and expenses (regardless, among other things, of any amendment to or revocation of such by-laws or any change in the ownership of the Company or the composition of its Board of Directors), which indemnification is intended to be greater than that which is afforded by the Companys certificate of incorporation, by-laws and, to the extent insurance is available, the coverage of Indemnitee under the Companys directors and officers liability insurance policies; and
WHEREAS, Indemnitee is relying upon the rights afforded under this Agreement in continuing in Indemnitees position as a director of the Company:
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:
1. Definitions.
(a) Corporate Status describes the status of a person who is serving or has served (i) as a director of the Company, (ii) in any capacity with respect to any employee benefit plan of the Company, or (iii) as a director, partner, trustee, officer, employee, or agent of any other Entity at the request of the Company.
(b) Entity shall mean any corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, foundation, association, organization or other legal entity and any group or division of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
(c) Expenses shall mean all reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with any Proceeding (as defined below), including, without limitation, attorneys fees, disbursements and retainers (including, without limitation, any such fees, disbursements and retainers incurred by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement), fees and disbursements of expert witnesses, private investigators and
professional advisors (including, without limitation, accountants and investment bankers), court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, travel expenses, duplicating, printing and binding costs, telephone and fax transmission charges, postage, delivery services, secretarial services, and other disbursements and expenses.
(d) Indemnifiable Expenses, Indemnifiable Liabilities and Indemnifiable Amounts shall have the meanings ascribed to those terms in Section 3(a) below.
(e) Liabilities shall mean judgments, damages, liabilities, losses, penalties, excise taxes, fines and amounts paid in settlement.
(f) Proceeding shall mean any threatened, pending or completed claim, action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution process, investigation, administrative hearing, appeal, or any other proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, whether formal or informal, including a proceeding initiated by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement to enforce Indemnitees rights hereunder.
2. Services of Indemnitee. In consideration of the Companys covenants and commitments hereunder, Indemnitee agrees to serve or continue to serve as a director of the Company. However, this Agreement shall not impose any obligation on Indemnitee or the Company to continue Indemnitees service to the Company beyond any period otherwise required by law or by other agreements or commitments of the parties, if any.
3. Agreement to Indemnify. The Company agrees to indemnify Indemnitee as follows:
(a) Subject to the exceptions contained in Section 4(a) below, if Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of Indemnitees Corporate Status, Indemnitee shall be indemnified by the Company against all Expenses and Liabilities incurred or paid by Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding (referred to herein as Indemnifiable Expenses and Indemnifiable Liabilities, respectively, and collectively as Indemnifiable Amounts).
