Exhibit 10.10


 


 


 





 


 


INDEMNITY AGREEMENT


 


THIS INDEMNITY AGREEMENT (this
“Agreement”) is made as of [·], by and between EASTERLY
ACQUISITION CORP., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and __________________ (“Indemnitee”).


 


RECITALS


 


WHEREAS, highly competent persons
have become more reluctant to serve publicly-held corporations as directors, officers or in other capacities unless they are provided
with adequate protection through insurance or adequate indemnification against inordinate risks of claims and actions against them
arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of such corporations;


 


WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of
the Company (the “Board”) has determined that, in order to attract and retain qualified individuals,
the Company will attempt to maintain on an ongoing basis, at its sole expense, liability insurance to protect persons serving the
Company and its subsidiaries from certain liabilities. Although the furnishing of such insurance has been a customary and widespread
practice among publicly traded corporations and other business enterprises, the Company believes that, given current market conditions
and trends, such insurance may be available to it in the future only at higher premiums and with more exclusions. At the same time,
directors, officers and other persons in service to corporations or business enterprises are being increasingly subjected to expensive
and time-consuming litigation relating to, among other things, matters that traditionally would have been brought only against
the Company or business enterprise itself. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”)
and Bylaws of the Company require indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company. Indemnitee may also be entitled
to indemnification pursuant to applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”).
The Charter, Bylaws and the DGCL expressly provide that the indemnification provisions set forth therein are not exclusive, and
thereby contemplate that contracts may be entered into between the Company and members of the board of directors, officers and
other persons with respect to indemnification, hold harmless, exoneration, advancement and reimbursement rights;


 


WHEREAS, the uncertainties relating
to such insurance and to indemnification have increased the difficulty of attracting and retaining such persons’;


 


WHEREAS, the Board has determined
that the increased difficulty in attracting and retaining such persons is detrimental to the best interests of the Company’s
stockholders and that the Company should act to assure such persons that there will be increased certainty of such protection in
the future;


 


WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent
and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, hold harmless, exonerate and to advance expenses on
behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company
free from undue concern that they will not be so protected against liabilities;


 


WHEREAS, this Agreement is a supplement
to and in furtherance of the Charter and Bylaws of the Company and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, and shall not be deemed
a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder;


 


WHEREAS, Indemnitee may not be willing
to serve as an officer or director, advisor or in another capacity without adequate protection, and the Company desires Indemnitee
to serve in such capacity. Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve and to take on additional service for or on behalf
of the Company on the condition that he be so indemnified; and


 


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the premises and the covenants contained herein and subject to the provisions of the letter agreement dated as of [·],
2015 between the Company and the Indemnitee pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement between the Company and the Underwriters in
connection with the Company’s initial public offering, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

3. INDEMNITY IN THIRD-PARTY PROCEEDINGS.


 


To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company
shall indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 if
Indemnitee was, is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant (as a witness or otherwise) in any Proceeding, other
than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 3,
Indemnitee shall be indemnified, held harmless and exonerated against all Expenses, judgments, liabilities, fines, penalties and
amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect
of such Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or
on his behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in
a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of a criminal Proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.


 


4. INDEMNITY IN PROCEEDINGS BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY.


 


To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company
shall indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4 if
Indemnitee was, is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant (as a witness or otherwise) in any Proceeding by or
in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 4, Indemnitee shall be
indemnified, held harmless and exonerated against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection
with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. No indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration for Expenses shall
be made under this Section 4 in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been
finally adjudged by a court to be liable to the Company, unless and only to the extent that any court in which the Proceeding was
brought or the Delaware Court shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification, to be held harmless or to exoneration.


 


5. INDEMNIFICATION FOR EXPENSES OF A PARTY WHO IS WHOLLY
OR PARTLY SUCCESSFUL.


 


Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement except
for Section 27, to the extent that Indemnitee is a party to (or a participant in) and is successful, on the merits or otherwise,
in any Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, in whole or in part, the Company shall, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred
by him in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise,
as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him
or on his behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. If the Indemnitee is not wholly successful
in such Proceeding, the Company also shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate
Indemnitee against all Expenses reasonably incurred in connection with a claim, issue or matter related to any claim, issue, or
matter on which the Indemnitee was successful. For purposes of this Section 5 and without limitation, the termination
of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful
result as to such claim, issue or matter.


 


6. INDEMNIFICATION FOR EXPENSES OF A WITNESS.


 


Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement except
for Section 27, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee
is not a party, he shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be indemnified, held harmless and exonerated against
all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith.


 






    	 



    	 



    

 


7. ADDITIONAL INDEMNIFICATION, HOLD HARMLESS AND EXONERATION
RIGHTS.


 


7.1 Notwithstanding any limitation in Sections 3, 4,
or 5, except for Section 27, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold
harmless and exonerate Indemnitee if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding (including a Proceeding
by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor) against all Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts
paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such
Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection
with the Proceeding. No indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration rights shall be available under this Section 7.1 on
account of Indemnitee’s conduct which constitutes a breach of Indemnitee’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders
or is an act or omission not in good faith or which involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law.


 


7.2 Notwithstanding any limitation in Sections 3, 4, 5 or 7.1,
except for Section 27, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate

right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor) against all Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in
settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses,
judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the
Proceeding.


 


8. CONTRIBUTION IN THE EVENT OF JOINT LIABILITY.


 


8.1. To the fullest extent permissible
under applicable law, if the indemnification, hold harmless and/or exoneration rights provided for in this Agreement are unavailable
to Indemnitee in whole or in part for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying, holding harmless or exonerating
Indemnitee, shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for judgments, liabilities, fines,
penalties, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection with any Proceeding without requiring Indemnitee
to contribute to such payment, and the Company hereby waives and relinquishes any right of contribution it may have at any time
against Indemnitee.


 


8.2. The Company shall not enter into
any settlement of any Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding)
unless such settlement provides for a full and final release of all claims asserted against Indemnitee.


 


8.3. The Company hereby agrees to fully
indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee from any claims for contribution which may be brought by officers, directors
or employees of the Company other than Indemnitee who may be jointly liable with Indemnitee.


 


9. EXCLUSIONS.


 


Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement except for Section
27, the Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration payment in
connection with any claim made against Indemnitee:


 


	(a)	for which payment has actually been received by or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount actually received under any insurance policy, contract, agreement, other indemnity provision or otherwise;
	 	 
	(b)	for an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law; or
	 	 
	(c)	except as otherwise provided in Sections 14.5 and 14.6 hereof, prior to a Change in Control, in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Board authorized the Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) prior to its initiation or (ii) the Company provides the indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration payment, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law.


 






    	 



    	 



    

 


10. ADVANCES OF EXPENSES; DEFENSE OF CLAIM.


 


10.1. Notwithstanding any provision of
this Agreement to the contrary except for Section 27, and to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law, the Company shall
pay the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee (or reasonably expected by Indemnitee to be incurred by Indemnitee within three months)
in connection with any Proceeding within ten (10) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements requesting
such advances from time to time, prior to the final disposition of any Proceeding. Advances shall be unsecured and interest free.
Advances shall be made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the Expenses and without regard to Indemnitee’s
ultimate entitlement to be indemnified, held harmless or exonerated under the other provisions of this Agreement. Advances shall
include any and all reasonable Expenses incurred pursuing a Proceeding to enforce this right of advancement, including Expenses
incurred preparing and forwarding statements to the Company to support the advances claimed. To the fullest extent required by
applicable law, such payments of Expenses in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding shall be made only upon the Company’s
receipt of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the Indemnitee, to repay the advance to the extent that it is ultimately determined
that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company under the provisions of this Agreement, the Charter, the Bylaws
of the Company, applicable law or otherwise. This Section 10.1 shall not apply to any claim made by Indemnitee
for which an indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration payment is excluded pursuant to Section 9.


 


10.2. The Company will be entitled
to participate in the Proceeding at its own expense.


 


10.3. The Company shall not settle any
action, claim or Proceeding (in whole or in part) which would impose any Expense, judgment, fine, penalty or limitation on the
Indemnitee without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent.


 


11. PROCEDURE FOR NOTIFICATION AND APPLICATION FOR INDEMNIFICATION.


 


11.1. Indemnitee agrees to notify promptly
the Company in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document
relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration rights, or advancement
of Expenses covered hereunder. The failure of Indemnitee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of any obligation
which it may have to the Indemnitee under this Agreement, or otherwise.


 


11.2. Indemnitee may deliver to the Company
a written application to indemnify, hold harmless or exonerate Indemnitee in accordance with this Agreement. Such application(s)
may be delivered from time to time and at such time(s) as Indemnitee deems appropriate in his or her sole discretion. Following
such a written application for indemnification by Indemnitee, the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification shall be determined
according to Section 12.1 of this Agreement.


 


12. PROCEDURE UPON APPLICATION FOR INDEMNIFICATION.


 


12.1. A determination, if required by
applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification shall be made in the specific case by one of
the following methods, which shall be at the election of Indemnitee: (i) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors,
even though less than a quorum of the Board (ii) by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which
shall be delivered to Indemnitee; or (iii) by vote of the stockholders. The Company promptly will advise Indemnitee in writing
with respect to any determination that Indemnitee is or is not entitled to indemnification, including a description of any reason
or basis for which indemnification has been denied. If it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment
to Indemnitee shall be made within ten (10) days after such determination. Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the
person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including
providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged
or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination.
Any costs or Expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person,
persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s
entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.


 


12.2. In the event the determination
of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 12.1 hereof, the Independent
Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 12.2. The Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee
(unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board), and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company
advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected and certifying that the Independent Counsel so selected meets
the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement. If the Independent
Counsel is selected by the Board, the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising him of the identity of the Independent
Counsel so selected and certifying that the Independent Counsel so selected meets the requirements of “Independent Counsel”
as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement. In either event, Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be,
may, within ten (10) days after such written notice of selection shall have been received, deliver to the Company or to Indemnitee,
as the case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground
that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 2 of
this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely
objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If such written objection is so made and substantiated, the
Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court of
competent jurisdiction has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within twenty (20) days after submission by Indemnitee
of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2 hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been
selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the Delaware Court for resolution of any objection
which shall have been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment
as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the Delaware Court, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved
or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 12.1 hereof. Upon the due commencement
of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 14.1 of this Agreement, Independent Counsel shall
be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional
conduct then prevailing).


 






    	 



    	 



    

 


12.3. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable
fees and expenses of Independent Counsel and to fully indemnify and hold harmless such Independent Counsel against any and all
Expenses, claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto.


 


13. PRESUMPTIONS AND EFFECT OF
CERTAIN PROCEEDINGS.


 


13.1. In making a determination with
respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person, persons or entity making such determination shall presume that
Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance
with Section 11.2 of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption
in connection with the making by any person, persons or entity of any determination contrary to that presumption. Neither the failure
of the Company (including by its directors or Independent Counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any
action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable
standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company (including by its directors or Independent Counsel) that Indemnitee
has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not
met the applicable standard of conduct.


 


13.2. If the person, persons or entity
empowered or selected under Section 12 of this Agreement to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification
shall not have made a determination within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor, the requisite
determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification,
absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s
statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a final judicial determination
that any or all such indemnification is expressly prohibited under applicable law; provided, however, that such 30-day period may
be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional fifteen (15) days, if the person, persons or entity making
the determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires such additional time for the obtaining
or evaluating of documentation and/or information relating thereto.


 


13.3. The termination of any Proceeding
or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its
equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee
to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable
cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.


 


13.4. For purposes of any determination
of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books
of account of the Enterprise, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the directors or officers
of the Enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise, its Board, any committee
of the Board or any director, or on information or records given or reports made to the Enterprise, its Board, any committee of
the Board or any director, by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected by the Enterprise,
its Board, any committee of the Board or any director. The provisions of this Section 13.4 shall not be deemed
to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which the Indemnitee may be deemed or found to have met the applicable
standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement.


 






    	 



    	 



    

 


13.5. The knowledge and/or actions, or
failure to act, of any other director, officer, trustee, partner, managing member, fiduciary, agent or employee of the Enterprise
shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.


 


14. REMEDIES OF INDEMNITEE.


 


14.1. In the event that (i) a determination
is made pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under
this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, is not timely made pursuant
to Section 10 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been
made pursuant to Section 12.1 of this Agreement within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of the
request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Sections 5, 6, 7 or
the last sentence of Section 12.1 of this Agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of
a written request therefor, (v) a contribution payment is not made in a timely manner pursuant to Section 8 of
this Agreement, (vi) payment of indemnification pursuant to Section 3 or 4 of this Agreement
is not made within ten (10) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, or (vii) payment
to Indemnitee pursuant to any hold harmless or exoneration rights under this Agreement or otherwise is not made within ten (10) days
after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication by the Delaware Court
to such indemnification, hold harmless, exoneration, contribution or advancement rights. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at his option,
may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association. Except as set forth herein, the provisions of Delaware law (without regard to its conflict of laws rules)
shall apply to any such arbitration. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award
in arbitration.


 


14.2. In the event that a determination
shall have been made pursuant to Section 12.1 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification,
any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 14 shall be conducted in all respects
as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination.
In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 14, Indemnitee shall be presumed
to be entitled to be indemnified, held harmless, exonerated to receive advances of Expenses under this Agreement and the Company
shall have the burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, held harmless, exonerated and to receive advances
of Expenses, as the case may be, and the Company may not refer to or introduce into evidence any determination pursuant to Section
12.1 of this Agreement adverse to Indemnitee for any purpose. If Indemnitee commences a judicial proceeding or arbitration
pursuant to this Section 14, Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any advances pursuant
to Section 10 until a final determination is made with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification
(as to which all rights of appeal have been exhausted or lapsed).


 


14.3. If a determination shall have been
made pursuant to Section 12.1 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall
be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 14,
absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s
statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification
under applicable law.


 


14.4. The Company shall be precluded
from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 14 that the procedures
and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such
arbitrator that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.


 


14.5. The Company shall indemnify and
hold harmless Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law against all Expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (within
ten (10) days after the Company’s receipt of such written request) pay to Indemnitee, to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, such Expenses which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any judicial proceeding or arbitration brought
by Indemnitee (i) to enforce his rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement or any other indemnification,
hold harmless, exoneration, advancement or contribution agreement or provision of the Charter, or the Company’s Bylaws now
or hereafter in effect; or (ii) for recovery or advances under any insurance policy maintained by any person for the benefit
of Indemnitee, regardless of the outcome and whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification,
hold harmless or exoneration right, advancement, contribution or insurance recovery, as the case may be (unless such judicial proceeding
or arbitration was not brought by Indemnitee in good faith).


 






    	 



    	 



    

 


14.6. Interest shall be paid by the Company
to Indemnitee at the legal rate under Delaware law for amounts which the Company indemnifies, holds harmless or exonerates, or
is obliged to indemnify, hold harmless or exonerate for the period commencing with the date on which Indemnitee requests indemnification,
to be held harmless, exonerated, contribution, reimbursement or advancement of any Expenses and ending with the date on which such
payment is made to Indemnitee by the Company.


 


15. SECURITY.


 


Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary except for Section
27, to the extent requested by the Indemnitee and approved by the Board, the Company may at any time and from time to time provide
security to the Indemnitee for the Company’s obligations hereunder through an irrevocable bank line of credit, funded trust
or other collateral. Any such security, once provided to the Indemnitee, may not be revoked or released without the prior written
consent of the Indemnitee.


 


16. NON-EXCLUSIVITY; SURVIVAL OF RIGHTS; INSURANCE; SUBROGATION.


 


16.1. The rights of Indemnitee as provided
by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable
law, the Charter, the Company’s Bylaws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or a resolution of directors, or otherwise.
No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee
under this Agreement in respect of any Proceeding (regardless of when such Proceeding is first threatened, commenced or completed)
arising out of, or related to, any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his Corporate Status prior to such amendment,
alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in applicable law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification,
hold harmless or exoneration rights or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the Charter, the Company’s
Bylaws or this Agreement, then this Agreement (without any further action by the parties hereto) shall automatically be deemed
to be amended to require that the Company indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law. No right or remedy herein
conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in
addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion
or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other
right or remedy.


 


16.2. The DGCL, the Charter and the Company’s
Bylaws permit the Company to purchase and maintain insurance or furnish similar protection or make other arrangements including,
but not limited to, providing a trust fund, letter of credit, or surety bond (“Indemnification Arrangements”)
on behalf of Indemnitee against any liability asserted against him or incurred by or on behalf of him or in such capacity as a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Company would have
the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement or under the DGCL, as it may then be in
effect. The purchase, establishment, and maintenance of any such Indemnification Arrangement shall not in any way limit or affect
the rights and obligations of the Company or of the Indemnitee under this Agreement except as expressly provided herein, and the
execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the Indemnitee shall not in any way limit or affect the rights and
obligations of the Company or the other party or parties thereto under any such Indemnification Arrangement.


 


16.3. To the extent that the Company
maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, officers, trustees, partners, managing members,
fiduciaries, employees, or agents of the Company or of any other Enterprise which such person serves at the request of the Company,
Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage
available for any such director, officer, trustee, partner, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent under such policy or
policies. If, at the time the Company receives notice from any source of a Proceeding as to which Indemnitee is a party or a participant
(as a witness or otherwise), the Company has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt
notice of such Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall
thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable
as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.


 


16.4. In the event of any payment under
this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who
shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as
are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.


 


16.5. The Company’s obligation
to indemnify, hold harmless, exonerate or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request of the
Company as a director, officer, trustee, partner, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other Enterprise shall be
reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration payments or advancement
of expenses from such Enterprise. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary except for Section 27,
(i) Indemnitee shall have no obligation to reduce, offset, allocate, pursue or apportion any indemnification, hold harmless,
exoneration, advancement, contribution or insurance coverage among multiple parties possessing such duties to Indemnitee prior
to the Company’s satisfaction and performance of all its obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) the Company shall
perform fully its obligations under this Agreement without regard to whether Indemnitee holds, may pursue or has pursued any indemnification,
advancement, hold harmless, exoneration, contribution or insurance coverage rights against any person or entity other than the
Company.


 






    	 



    	 



    

 


17. DURATION OF AGREEMENT.


 


All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein
shall continue during the period Indemnitee serves as a director or officer of the Company or as a director, officer, trustee,
partner, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit
plan or other Enterprise which Indemnitee serves at the request of the Company and shall continue thereafter so long as Indemnitee
shall be subject to any possible Proceeding (including any rights of appeal thereto and any Proceeding commenced by Indemnitee
pursuant to Section 14 of this Agreement) by reason of his Corporate Status, whether or not he is acting
in any such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification can be provided under this Agreement.


 


18. SEVERABILITY.


 


If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held
to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section, paragraph or sentence of this Agreement
containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable)
shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; (b) such
provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect
to the intent of the parties hereto; and (c) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including,
without limitation, each portion of any Section, paragraph or sentence of this Agreement containing any such provision held to
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect
to the intent manifested thereby.


 


19. ENFORCEMENT AND BINDING EFFECT.


 


19.1. The Company expressly confirms
and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee
to serve as a director, officer or key employee of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this
Agreement in serving as a director, officer or key employee of the Company.


 


19.2. Without limiting any of the rights
of Indemnitee under the Charter or Bylaws of the Company as they may be amended from time to time, this Agreement constitutes the
entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings,
oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.


 


19.3. The indemnification, hold harmless,
exoneration and advancement of expenses rights provided by or granted pursuant to this Agreement shall be binding upon and be enforceable
by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger,
consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company), shall continue as to an Indemnitee
who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or of any other Enterprise at the Company’s request,
and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and his or her spouse, assigns, heirs, devisees, executors and administrators and
other legal representatives.


 


19.4. The Company 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 the Company, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Indemnitee,
expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required
to perform if no such succession had taken place.


 


19.5. The Company and Indemnitee agree
herein that a monetary remedy for breach of this Agreement, at some later date, may be inadequate, impracticable and difficult
of proof, and further agree that such breach may cause Indemnitee irreparable harm. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree that
Indemnitee may enforce this Agreement by seeking, among other things, injunctive relief and/or specific performance hereof, without
any necessity of showing actual damage or irreparable harm and that by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific performance, Indemnitee
shall not be precluded from seeking or obtaining any other relief to which he may be entitled. The Company and Indemnitee further
agree that Indemnitee shall be entitled to such specific performance and injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders,
preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions, without the necessity of posting bonds or other undertaking in connection therewith.
The Company acknowledges that in the absence of a waiver, a bond or undertaking may be required of Indemnitee by a Court of competent
jurisdiction and the Company hereby waives any such requirement of such a bond or undertaking.

representatives after the expiration of two years from the date of accrual of such cause of action, and any claim or cause of action
of the Company shall be extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the timely filing of a legal action within such two-year
period; provided, however, that if any shorter period of limitations is otherwise applicable to any such cause of action such shorter
period shall govern.


 


26. ADDITIONAL ACTS.


 


If for the validation of any of the provisions in this Agreement
any act, resolution, approval or other procedure is required, the Company undertakes to cause such act, resolution, approval or
other procedure to be affected or adopted in a manner that will enable the Company to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.


 


27. WAIVER OF CLAIMS TO TRUST ACCOUNT.


 


Indemnitee hereby agrees that it does not have any right, title,
interest or claim of any kind (each, a “Claim”) in or to any monies in the trust account established in connection
with the Company’s initial public offering for the benefit of the Company and holders of shares issued in such offering,
and hereby waives any Claim it may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any services provided to the Company and
will not seek recourse against such trust account for any reason whatsoever.
