Dear _______________
Thank you for agreeing to serve as a nominee for election to the Board of Directors of Immersion Corporation (the “Company”) in connection with the proxy solicitation that Dialectic Capital Partners, LP, and certain of its affiliates, are considering undertaking to nominate and elect directors at the Company’s 2011 annual meeting of stockholders, or any other meeting of stockholders held in lieu thereof, and any adjournments, postponements, reschedulings or continuations thereof (the “Solicitation”). Your outstanding qualifications, we believe, will prove a valuable asset to the Company and all of its stockholders. This letter agreement will set forth the terms of our agreement.
Each of Dialectic Capital Partners, LP, Dialectic Offshore, Ltd., Dialectic Antithesis Partners, LP, Dialectic Antithesis Offshore, Ltd., and Dialectic Offshore L2, Ltd. (collectively, “Dialectic”), jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold you harmless against any and all claims of any nature, whenever brought, arising from the Solicitation, irrespective of the outcome; provided, however, that you will not be entitled to indemnification for claims arising from your gross negligence, willful misconduct, intentional and material violations of law, criminal actions or material breach of the terms of this letter agreement; provided further, that all of Dialectic’s indemnification and other obligations hereunder shall terminate upon your becoming a director of the Company. This indemnification will include any and all losses, liabilities, damages, demands, claims, suits, actions, judgments, or causes of action, assessments, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and any and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, any civil, criminal, administrative or arbitration action, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation asserted against, resulting, imposed upon, or incurred or suffered by you, directly or indirectly, as a result of or arising from the Solicitation (each, a “Loss”).
In the event of a claim against you pursuant to the prior paragraph or the occurrence of a Loss, you shall give Dialectic prompt written notice of such claim or Loss (provided that failure to promptly notify Dialectic shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have on account of this letter agreement, except to the extent Dialectic shall have been materially prejudiced by such failure). Upon receipt of such written notice, Dialectic will provide you with counsel to represent you. Such counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to you. In addition, you will be reimbursed promptly for all Losses suffered by you and as incurred as provided herein. Dialectic may not enter into any settlement of loss or claim without your consent unless such settlement includes a release of you from any and all liability in respect of such claim.
You hereby agree to keep confidential and not disclose to any party, without the consent of Dialectic, any confidential, proprietary or non-public information (collectively, “Information”) of Dialectic or its affiliates, which you have heretofore obtained or may obtain in connection with the Solicitation or your role as a nominee of Dialectic. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Information shall not include any information that is publicly disclosed by Dialectic or its affiliates or any information that you can demonstrate is now, or hereafter becomes, through no act or failure to act on your part, otherwise generally known to the public.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are required by applicable law, rule, regulation or legal process to disclose any Information you may do so provided that you first promptly notify Dialectic so that Dialectic or any representative thereof may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or, in Dialectic’s sole discretion, waive compliance with the terms of this letter agreement. In the event that no such protective order or other remedy is obtained or Dialectic does not waive compliance with the terms of this letter agreement, you may consult with counsel at the cost of Dialectic and you may furnish only that portion of the Information which you are advised by counsel is legally required to be so disclosed and you will request that the party(ies) receiving such Information maintain it as confidential.
All Information, all copies thereof, and any studies, notes, records, analysis, compilations or other documents prepared by you containing such Information, shall be and remain the property of Dialectic and, upon the request of a representative of Dialectic, all such information shall be returned or, at Dialectic’s option, destroyed by you, with such destruction confirmed by you to Dialectic in writing.
This letter agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of the conflicts of laws thereof. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit and consent to the jurisdiction of the state courts of the State and County of New York or any federal court sitting in the State and County of New York for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this letter agreement.
