GENESIS MICROCHIP INC.

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
 
This Indemnification Agreement (?Agreement?) is made as of March 2, 2007, by and between Genesis Microchip Inc., a Delaware corporation (the ?Company?), and _________________________ (?Indemnitee?).
 
Recitals
 
A. The Company desires to attract and retain qualified directors, officers, employees and other agents, and to provide them with protection against liability and expenses incurred while acting in that capacity;
 
B. The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company contain provisions for indemnifying directors and officers of the Company, and the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and Delaware law contemplate that separate contracts may be entered into between the Company and its directors and officers, employees and other agents with respect to their indemnification by the Company, which contracts may provide greater protection than is afforded by the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws;
 
C. The Company understands that Indemnitee has reservations about serving or continuing to serve the Company without adequate protection against personal liability arising from such service, and that it is also of critical importance to Indemnitee that adequate provision be made for advancing costs and expenses of legal defense; and
 
D. The Board of Directors of the Company has approved as being in the best interests of the Company indemnity contracts substantially in the form of this Agreement for directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiaries and for certain other employees and agents of the Company designated by the Board of Directors.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce Indemnitee to serve or to continue to serve as a director and/or officer of the Company, and in consideration of Indemnitee?s service to the Company, the parties agree as follows:
 
1. Contractual Indemnity. In addition to the indemnification provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, the Company hereby agrees, subject to the limitations of Sections 2 and 5 hereof:
 
(a) To indemnify, defend and hold Indemnitee harmless to the greatest extent possible under applicable law from and against any and all judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in settlement and any other amounts reasonably incurred or suffered by Indemnitee (including attorneys? fees) in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal, including an action by or in the right of the Company, to which Indemnitee is, was or at any time becomes a party or witness or other participant, or is threatened to be or in good faith believes will be made a party, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is, was or at any time becomes a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or is or was serving or at any time serves at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (collectively referred to hereafter as a ?Claim?), whether or not arising prior to the date of this Agreement.
 
 
 

 
 
(b) To pay any and all expenses reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in defending any Claim or Claims (including reasonable attorneys? fees and other reasonable costs of investigation and defense) (the ?Expenses?), as the same are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of any such Claim or Claims (it being understood that amounts actually paid in settlement of any such action or proceeding shall not be treated as Expenses under this Agreement and such amounts actually paid in settlement shall be treated as set forth in Section 4(c) of this Agreement). The execution of this agreement constitutes an undertaking by Indemnitee to reimburse such amounts if it shall be ultimately determined that Indemnitee (i) is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company under this Agreement, and (ii) is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company under the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company or under applicable law. The advances to be made hereunder shall be paid by the Company to Indemnitee within twenty (20) days following receipt by the Company of a written request therefor from Indemnitee. Indemnitee?s obligation to reimburse the Company for the Expenses so advanced shall be unsecured and no interest shall be charged thereon.
 
The termination of any action 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 (i) Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company, or (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee?s conduct was unlawful.
