2.           Indemnification. (a) In the event Indemnitee in his capacity as a nominee for election to Company’s Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting was, is or becomes a party to or other participant in, or is threatened to be made a party to or other participant in, a Claim by reason of (or arising or allegedly arising in any manner out of or relating to in whole or in part) an Indemnifiable Event, the Indemnitor, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitee from and against any and all Losses suffered, incurred or sustained by Indemnitee or to which Indemnitee becomes subject, resulting from, arising out of or relating to such Claim; provided , however, that in no event shall Indemnitor have aggregate liability for Losses pursuant to this Agreement in excess of the Indemnification Amount. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement (i) for Claims arising from Indemnitee’s criminal actions, fraud, negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct or (ii) for which payment is prohibited by applicable law.
 
 
 

 
 
(b)           In the case of the commencement of any action against Indemnitee in respect of which he may seek indemnification from the Indemnitor hereunder, the Indemnitor may, by written notice to the Indemnitee, elect to assume the defense thereof (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee), including, without limitation, the negotiation and approval of any settlement of such action. After notice from the Indemnitor to the Indemnitee of the Indemnitor’s election so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnitor will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any Expenses subsequently incurred by him in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and preparation therefor (including, without limitation, appearing as a witness and reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel in connection therewith). If, in any action for which indemnity may be sought hereunder, the Indemnitor shall not have timely assumed the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee, or Indemnitee shall have been advised by his counsel that it would constitute a conflict of interest for the same counsel to represent both him and the Indemnitor or both him and any other Indemnitee in such action, or if Indemnitee may have separate or additional defenses with regard to such action, Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his own counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitor in such action, in which event the Indemnitor shall reimburse Indemnitee for all reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by him in connection with the defense thereof. The Indemnitor shall in no event be liable for any settlement of any action effected without its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnitor shall not settle any Claim in any manner that would impose any expense, penalty, obligation or liability on Indemnitee, or would contain language (other than a recitation of any amounts to be paid in settlement) that could reasonably be viewed as an acknowledgment of wrongdoing on the part of Indemnitee or as materially detrimental to the reputation of Indemnitee, without that Indemnitee’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
 
(c)           Indemnitee’s right to indemnification pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement shall include the right of the Indemnitee to be advanced by the Indemnitor any Expenses incurred in connection with any Indemnifiable Event as soon as practicable after such Expenses are incurred by the Indemnitee and in any event within 30 days after the receipt by the Indemnitor of a statement or statements from Indemnitee documenting such Expenses in reasonable detail and requesting such advances from time to time; provided, however, that all amounts advanced in respect of such Expenses shall be promptly repaid to the Indemnitor by the Indemnitee if it shall ultimately be determined in a final judgment that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such Expenses.
 
3.           Review Procedure; Enforcement. (a) Indemnitee shall give the Indemnitor written notice (a “Claim Notice”) of any Claim (accompanied by supporting documentation in reasonable detail) as soon as practicable after the Indemnitee becomes aware thereof; provided, that the failure of Indemnitee to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the rights of the Indemnitor. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of the Indemnitor under Section 2 above shall be subject to the condition that it shall not have determined that the Inde mnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law; provided, however, that if the Indemnitee has commenced legal proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to paragraph 3(b) below to secure a determination that the Indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable law, any determination made by the Indemnitor that the Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law shall not be binding and the Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Indemnitor for any Expense Advance until a final judicial determination is made with respect thereto (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or have lapsed).
 
(b)           If the Indemnitor determines that the Indemnitee substantively would not be permitted to be indemnified in whole or in part under applicable law, or if the Indemnitee has not otherwise been paid in full pursuant to Section 2 above within 30 days after a Claim Notice has been received by the Indemnitor, the Indemnitee shall have the right to commence litigation in any court in the State of New York having subject matter jurisdiction thereof and in which venue is proper to recover the unpaid amount of the demand (an “Enforcement Proceeding”) and, if successful in whole or in part, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid any and all Expenses in connection with such Enforcement Proceeding. These Expenses will not be subject to the Indemnification Amount. The Indemnitor hereby consents to service of process for such Enforcement Proceeding and to appear in any such Enforcement Proceeding. Any determination by the Indemnitor not challenged by the Indemnitee shall be binding on the Indemnitor and Indemnitee. It shall be a defense to any action brought by Indemnitee against the Indemnitor to enforce this Agreement (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for Expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition) that it is not permissible under applicable law for the Indemnitor to indemnify Indemnitee for the amount claimed.

4.           Partial Indemnity, Etc. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Indemnitor for some or a portion of any Loss, but not for all of the total amount thereof, the Indemnitor shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled. Moreover, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that the Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any or all Claims relating in whole or in part to an Indemnifiable Event or in defense of any issue or matter therein, including dismissal without prejudice, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses incurred in connection therewith pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
 
5.           No Presumptions. For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any claim, action, suit or proceeding, by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval), or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by applicable law.
 
6.           Amendments, Etc. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding with respect to any party unless executed in writing by such party. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.
 
7.           Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Indemnitor shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the applicable Indemnitee, and that Indemnitee shall, at the Indemnitor’s expense, execute all papers reasonably required and shall do everything that may be reasonably necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents reasonably necessary to enable the Indemnitor effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.
 
8.           No Duplication of Payments. The Indemnitor shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment in connection with a Claim made against Indemnitee to the extent the Indemnitee otherwise is entitled to receive payment (under any insurance policy, certificate of incorporation, by-law or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder.
 
9.           Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws.
 
10.           Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but which together shall constitute one agreement.
 
11.           Notices. All notices, demands, and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered by hand, against receipt, or mailed, postage prepaid, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and addressed to the Indemnitor at:

Re: EMS Technologies, Inc.
 
Dear __________:
 
Thank you for agreeing to be named and serve as a nominee (a “Nominee”) for election to the Board of Directors of EMS Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) in the proxy solicitation that MMI Investments, L.P. (“MMI”) 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 “Annual Meeting”). Your outstanding qualifications, we believe, will prove a valuable asset to the Company and all of its stockholders. This letter will set forth the terms of our agreement.
 
1.           MMI shall pay all costs of the proxy solicitation to be conducted by MMI in connection with the Annual Meeting (the “Proxy Contest”); provided however that MMI reserves the right to seek reimbursement for such costs from the Company.
 
2.           You understand that it may be difficult, if not impossible, to replace nominees who, such as yourself, have agreed to serve on MMI’s slate and later change their minds and determine not to seek election. Accordingly, MMI is relying upon your agreement to seek nomination. In that regard, you are being supplied with a questionnaire (the “Questionnaire”) in which you will provide MMI with information necessary for MMI to make appropriate disclosures both to the Company and for use in creating the proxy material to be sent to shareholders of the Company that will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You have agreed that (i) you will immediately complete and sign the questionnaire and return it to the undersigned and (ii) your responses to th e questions contained therein will be true and correct in all respects. MMI has also enclosed a form letter (the “Consent Letter”) to the Company informing the Company that you consent to being a nominee of MMI for the election as a director of the Company and, if elected, consent to serve as a director of the Company.
 
3.           Attached hereto is an indemnity agreement (the “Indemnity Agreement”) that MMI agrees to provide to you in connection with the Proxy Contest.
 
4.           As consideration for your agreement to serve as an MMI Nominee, MMI shall pay you $50,000 upon the submission by MMI of a letter to the Company nominating you for election as a director of the Company (with such payment to be made as soon as reasonably practicable after you have been nominated). You also agree to execute all such other documents as shall be necessary or required in connection with the Proxy Contest.
 
5.           MMI shall also reimburse you, promptly upon presentation of appropriate invoices, for legal fees incurred by you in connection with your review of this letter agreement and the other agreements and documents referenced herein in an amount up to $5,000.
 
6.           MMI recognizes that should you be elected to the Board of Directors of the Company all of your activities and decisions as a director will be governed by applicable law and subject to your fiduciary duties to the shareholders of the Company and, as a result, that there is, and can be, no agreement between you and MMI which governs the decisions which you will make as a director of the Company.
 
 
 

 
 
7.           This letter agreement and the Indemnity Agreement set forth the entire agreement between MMI and you as to the subject matter contained herein, and cannot be amended, modified or terminated except by a writing executed by MMI and you.
 
8.           This letter agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law. The parties hereto consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York State and United States courts located in New York County, New York for the resolution of any disputes hereunder and agree that venue shall be proper in any such court notwithstanding any principle of forum non conveniens and that service of process on the parties hereto in any proceeding in any such court may be effected in any manner permitted by applicable law. The parties hereto waive trial by jury in respect of any such proceeding.
 
9.           This letter agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of you and your heirs, successors and assigns.
 
10.           This letter agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.
 
If you agree to the foregoing terms, please sign below to indicate your acceptance.
