 Exhibit 10.1 
 THE EXONE COMPANY 
 INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 

THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of
            , 20    , (the “Effective Date”) by and between The ExOne Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
and             (the “Indemnitee”). 

RECITALS: 

A. It is essential that the Company retain and attract as directors and officers the most capable persons available. 

B. The Indemnitee is (or is being elected as) a director and/or officer of the Company and in that capacity is (or will be)
performing a valuable service for the Company. 
 C. In recognition of Indemnitee’s need for protection against
personal liability in order to enhance Indemnitee’s service and continued service to the Company in an effective manner, the potential difficulty in obtaining satisfactory Directors and Officers Liability Insurance (“D & O
Insurance”) coverage, the Company desires to provide in this Agreement for the indemnification of and the advancing of expenses to Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law and as set forth in this Agreement, and, to the extent
insurance is maintained, for the continued coverage of Indemnitee under the Company’s D & O Insurance policies. 

D. The Indemnitee is willing to serve and/or to continue to serve, the Company, only on the condition that the Company furnish the
indemnity provided for herein. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Indemnitee’s service and/or continuing to
serve the Company directly, or, at its request, another enterprise and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Definitions.

acquisition after the date hereof by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) (a “Person”) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated
under the Exchange Act) of more than 25% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of its directors (“Voting Stock”); provided, however, that for

any individual becoming a Director subsequent to such date whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Directors then comprising the Incumbent Board (either by a
specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for director, without objection to such nomination) will be deemed to have then been a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for
this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of Directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or
consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board; or

of the Company or a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary thereof, a sale or other disposition (whether by sale, taxable or nontaxable exchange, formation of a joint venture or otherwise) of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company, or other transaction involving the Company (each, a “Business Combination”), unless, in each case, immediately following such Business Combination, (A) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities
who were the beneficial owners of Voting Stock of the Company immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares of Voting Stock of the
entity resulting from such Business Combination or any direct or indirect parent corporation thereof (including, without limitation, an entity which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s
assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries), (B) no Person other than the Company beneficially owns 25% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares of Voting Stock of the entity resulting from such

similar schedule or form) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, whether or not the Company is then subject to such reporting requirement.

respect to matters concerning other indemnitees under other indemnification agreements), or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent

rights under this Agreement. 
 (f) “Interested Shareholder” means any person (other than the Company or

Company” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its

“not opposed to the best interests of the Company” as referred to in this Agreement; references to “to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law” shall include, but not be limited to: (i) the
fullest extent permitted by the provision of the DGCL that authorizes or contemplates additional indemnification by agreement, or the corresponding provision of any amendment to or replacement of the DGCL and (ii) the fullest extent authorized
or permitted by any amendments to or replacements of the DGCL adopted after the date of this Agreement that increase the extent to which a corporation may indemnify its officers and directors. 

2. Indemnity in Third-Party Proceedings. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2 if
Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant 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 2, Indemnitee shall be indemnified
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on his or her behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or
matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe
that his or her conduct was unlawful. 
 3. Indemnity in Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. The Company shall
indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 if Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any 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 to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any
claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. No indemnification for Expenses shall be made under this Section 3 in
respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be liable to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or any court in which the
Proceeding was brought 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 for such expenses as the Delaware
Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. 
 4. Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly
Successful. To the extent that Indemnitee is a party to or a participant in and is successful (on the merits or otherwise) in defense of any Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all
Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if 

  
 5 








 
Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the
Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or
matter. For purposes of this Section, 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. 

5. Indemnification for Expenses of a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee, by
reason of his or her Corporate Status, is to be a witness or to be interviewed in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, mediation, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing or
proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, Indemnitee shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection
therewith. 
 6. Additional Indemnification. In the event that applicable law permits indemnification in addition to the
indemnification provided in Sections 2, 3 and 4, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law if Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in 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 and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on his or her behalf in connection with the
Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein. To the extent that a change in Delaware law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the
Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change, subject to the restrictions expressly
set forth herein or therein. If the Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of Expenses, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless
indemnify the Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses to which the Indemnitee is entitled. 
 7. Contribution. To the fullest
extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee, then in respect of any actual or threatened proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be
if joined in such proceeding) the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for Expenses, judgments, fines or amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, in connection with any claim
relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and
Indemnitee as a result of the event(s) and transaction(s) giving rise to such Proceeding; and (ii) the relative fault of Indemnitee and the Company (and its other directors, officers, employees and agents) in connection with such event(s) and
transaction(s).

 8. Notification and Defense of Claim. 

(a) Indemnitee shall notify the Company in writing of any matter with respect to which Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification or
advancement of Expenses as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt by Indemnitee of written notice thereof. The written notification to the Company shall include a description of the nature of the Proceeding and the facts underlying the
Proceeding. The failure by Indemnitee to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability which it may have to Indemnitee hereunder or otherwise than under this Agreement, and any delay in so notifying the Company shall not
constitute a waiver by Indemnitee of any rights. With respect to any Proceeding as to which the Indemnitee has so notified the Company: 
 (i) The Company will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense; and 

(ii) Except as otherwise provided below, the Company may assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnitee. After the Company notifies the Indemnitee of its election to so assume the defense, the Company will not be liable to the Indemnitee under this Agreement for any legal Expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with
the defense, other than legal Expenses relating to the reasonable costs of investigation, including an investigation in connection with determining whether there exists a conflict of interest of the type described in clause (ii) of this
paragraph, or as otherwise provided in this paragraph. The Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his or her counsel in such action, suit or proceeding but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after the Company notifies the Indemnitee
of its assumption of the defense shall be at the expense of the Indemnitee unless (i) the Company authorizes the Indemnitee’s employment of counsel, provided, that following a Change of Control, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to employ
his or her own counsel at the Company’s expense after giving not less than 30 days’ notice to the Company unless the Company has Disinterested Directors and a majority of the Disinterested Directors determine that the Indemnitee’s
interests are adequately represented by the counsel employed by the Company; (ii) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and the Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense or
(iii) the Company shall not have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the Company. The Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of
any action, suit or proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Company or as to which the Indemnitee shall have made the conclusion described in clause (ii) of this paragraph.

(b) The Company shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action
or claim effected without its written consent. The Company shall not settle any action or claim in any manner which would impose any penalty or limitation on the Indemnitee without the Indemnitee’s written consent. Neither the Company nor the
Indemnitee shall unreasonably withhold their consent to any proposed settlement.

 9. Procedure for Indemnification. 

(a) To obtain indemnification, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including therein or therewith such
documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and as is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification following the final disposition of such Proceeding. The Company
shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the board of directors that Indemnitee has requested indemnification. 
 (b) Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 9(a), a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be
made in the specific case (i) if a Change in Control shall have occurred, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Company’s board of directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee or (ii) if a Change in Control
shall not have occurred, (A) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Company’s board of directors, (B) by a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of the
Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Company’s board of directors, (C) if there are no such Disinterested Directors or, if such Disinterested Directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the
Company’s board of directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee or (D) if so directed by the Company’s board of directors, by the stockholders of the Company. 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 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) reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne
by the Company, to the extent permitted by applicable law. 
 (c) In the event the determination of entitlement to
indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 9(b), the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 9(c). If a Change in Control shall not have occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be
selected by the Company’s board of directors, and the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising him or her of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. If a Change in Control shall have occurred, the Independent
Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Company’s board of directors, in which event the preceding sentence shall apply), and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the
Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. 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 given, 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 1 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 

  
 8 








 
Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within twenty (20) days after the later of
(i) submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 9(a) hereof and (ii) the final disposition of the Proceeding, the parties have not agreed upon an Independent Counsel, either the Company or
Indemnitee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and for the appointment as Independent Counsel of
a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 9(b) hereof. Upon
the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 12(a) of this Agreement, the Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable
standards of professional conduct then prevailing), 
 (d) The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of any
Independent Counsel and to fully indemnify such counsel against any and all Expenses, claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto. 

10. Advancement of Expenses; Procedure for Advances. The Company shall advance, to the extent not prohibited by law, the Expenses incurred
by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding. Advances shall be unsecured and interest free and made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay such advances. Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay any advance to the extent that it is
ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. To obtain advances of Expenses, Indemnitee shall submit from time to time to the Company a written request requesting such advances and shall provide copies of
invoices received by Indemnitee in connection with such Expenses but, in the case of invoices in connection with legal services, any references to legal work performed or to expenditure made that Indemnitee’s lawyers believe would likely cause
Indemnitee to waive any privilege accorded by applicable law may be redacted from the copy of the invoice submitted to the Company (in which case, Indemnitee shall also submit a letter addressed to the Company from such lawyers to the effect that
they believe submission of the redacted information would likely cause Indemnitee to waive a privilege accorded by applicable law). Upon receipt of a such a request for an advance of Expenses along with copies of the related invoices (and, if
applicable, a letter from Indemnitee’s lawyers with respect to redactions on the legal invoice(s)), Company shall advance the Expenses to Indemnitee as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event no later than sixty (60) days, after
such receipt by the Company. This Section 10 shall not apply to any claim made by Indemnitee for which indemnity is excluded pursuant to Section 16 of this Agreement. 
 11. Maintenance of Insurance; Funding. 
 (a) The Company represents
that a summary of the terms of the D&O Insurance in effect as of the date of this Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Insurance Policies”). Subject only to the provisions of
Section 11(b) hereof, the Company agrees that, so long as Indemnitee shall continue to serve as an officer or director of the Company (or shall continue at the request of the Company to serve as a director, officer, employee, trustee or


  
 9 








 
representative of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan) and thereafter so long as Indemnitee
shall be subject to any possible claim or threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal or investigative, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee was a director or officer of the Company (or served in any of said
other capacities), the Company shall purchase and maintain in effect for the benefit of Indemnitee one or more valid, binding and enforceable policy or policies of D & O Insurance providing coverage at least comparable to that provided
pursuant to the Insurance Policies. 
 (b) The Company shall not be required to maintain said policy or policies of D &
O Insurance in effect if, in the reasonable, good faith business judgment of the then Board of Directors of the Company (i) the premium cost for such insurance is substantially disproportionate to the amount of coverage, (ii) the coverage
provided by such insurance is so limited by exclusions that there is insufficient benefit from such insurance or (iii) said insurance is not otherwise reasonably available; provided, however, that in the event the then Board of Directors makes
such a judgment, the Company shall purchase and maintain in force a policy or policies of D & O Insurance in the amount and with such coverage as the then Board of Directors determines to be reasonably available. Notwithstanding the
general provisions of this Section 11(b), following a Change of Control, any decision not to maintain any policy or policies of D & O Insurance or to reduce the amount or coverage under any such policy or policies shall be
effective only if there are Disinterested Directors (as defined in Section 1(e) hereof) and shall require the concurrence of a majority of the Disinterested Directors. 

(c) If and to the extent the Company, acting under Section 11(b), does not purchase and maintain in effect the policy or policies of
D & O Insurance described in Section 11(a), the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitee to the full extent of the coverage which would otherwise have been provided by such policies. The rights of the Indemnitee
hereunder shall be in addition to all other rights of Indemnitee under the remaining provisions of this Agreement. 
 (d) In the
event of a Potential Change of Control and if and to the extent the Company is not required to maintain in effect the policy or policies of D & O Insurance described in Section 11(a) pursuant to the provisions of
Section 11(b), the Company shall, upon written request of Indemnitee, create a “Trust” for the benefit of Indemnitee, and from time to time, upon written request by Indemnitee, shall fund such Trust in an amount sufficient to pay any
and all Expenses and any and all liability and loss, including judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf for which the Indemnitee is
entitled to indemnification or with respect to which indemnification is claimed, reasonably anticipated or proposed to be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or otherwise; provided that in no event shall more than $100,000 be
required to be deposited in any Trust created hereunder in excess of the amounts deposited in respect of reasonably anticipated Expenses. The amounts to be deposited in the Trust pursuant to the foregoing funding obligation shall be determined
by a majority of the Unaffiliated Directors whose determination shall be final and conclusive. At all times the Trust shall remain as an asset of the Company and subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors. 

  
 10 









 The terms of the Trust shall provide that upon a Change of Control (i) the Trust shall
not be revoked or the principal thereof invaded, without the written consent of the Indemnitee except as set forth in the preceding paragraph, (ii) the procedures set forth in Section 10 regarding advancement of expenses with respect to
the Company shall apply to the Trust, (iii) the Trust shall continue to be funded by the Company in accordance with the funding obligation set forth above (and in the event that there are no Unaffiliated Directors, the decision regarding the
amount to fund shall be made by Independent Counsel selected as provided in Section 9(c)), (iv) the Trustee shall promptly pay to the Indemnitee all amounts for which the Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this
Agreement or otherwise, and (v) all unexpended funds in such Trust shall revert to the Company upon a final determination by a majority of the Unaffiliated Directors or by Independent Counsel or a court of competent jurisdiction, as the case
may be, that the Indemnitee has been fully indemnified under the terms of this Agreement. The Trustee shall be a bank or trust company or other individual or entity chosen by the Indemnitee and reasonably acceptable and approved of by the
Company. 
 12. Remedies of Indemnitee. 
 (a) Subject to Section 12(d), in the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement,
(ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 10 or 12(d) of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement within
ninety (90) days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification pursuant to this Agreement is not made (A) within ten (10) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee
is entitled to indemnification or (B) with respect to indemnification pursuant to Sections 4, 5 or 12(d) of this Agreement, within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, or (v) the Company or
any other person or entity takes or threatens to take any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any litigation or other action or proceeding designed to deny, or to recover from, Indemnitee the benefits provided or
intended to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication by the Delaware Court of Chancery of Indemnitee’s right to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at his or
her 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. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such
adjudication or award in arbitration in accordance with this Agreement. 
 (b) The failure of the Company, its board of
directors, any committee or subgroup of the board of directors, Independent Counsel or stockholders to have made a determination that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct shall
not be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has or has not met the applicable standard of conduct. In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not
entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12 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 12, the Company shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, have the burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the case may be. 

  
 11 









 (c) To the fullest extent not prohibited by law, the Company shall be precluded from
asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12 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. If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 9 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 12, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statements not
materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law. 
 (d) The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event no later than sixty (60) days,
after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor) advance such Expenses to Indemnitee, that are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action for indemnification or advancement of Expenses from the Company under this Agreement or
under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, to the extent Indemnitee is successful in such action and to the extent not prohibited by law. 

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no determination as to entitlement to indemnification shall be required
to be made prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding. 
 13. Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings. 

(a) In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person, persons or entity making such
determination shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 9 of this
Agreement, and the Company shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by such person, persons or entity of any determination contrary to that presumption.

 (b) 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 or she 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 or her conduct
was unlawful. 

  
 12 









 (c) For purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have
acted in good faith to the extent Indemnitee relied in good faith on (i) the records or books of account of the Company, including financial statements, (ii) information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of the Company in the course
of their duties, (iii) the advice of legal counsel for the Company or its board of directors or counsel selected by any committee of the board of directors or (iv) information or records given or reports made to the Company by an
independent certified public accountant, an appraiser, investment banker or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Company or its board of directors or any committee of the board of directors. The provisions of this Section 13(c)
shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement. 

(d) Neither the knowledge, actions nor failure to act of any other director, officer, agent or employee of the Company shall be imputed
to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement. 
 14. Subrogation; No Duplication of
Payments. In the event that the Company pays any Expenses under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and shall
do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights. The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any
payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder (or for which advancement is provided hereunder) if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment from a third party for such amounts under any insurance policy,
contract, agreement or otherwise; provided, however, that if the Indemnitee repays any of these payments to such third party (whether due to a reservation of rights or otherwise), the Company shall again be obligated to Indemnitee under this
Agreement with respect to such payments. 
 15. Services to Company. Indemnitee agrees to serve as a director or officer of
the Company for so long as Indemnitee is duly elected or appointed or until Indemnitee tenders his or her resignation. This Agreement shall not be deemed an employment contract between the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) and Indemnitee.
Indemnitee specifically acknowledges that any employment with the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) is at will, and Indemnitee may be discharged at any time for any reason, with or without cause, with or without notice, except as may be otherwise
expressly provided in any executed, written employment contract between Indemnitee and the Company (or any of its subsidiaries), any existing formal severance policies adopted by the Company’s board of directors or, with respect to service as a
director or officer of the Company, the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or the DGCL. 
 16. Exclusions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to pay any Expenses in connection with any Proceeding: 
 (a) for any reimbursement of the Company by Indemnitee of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by Indemnitee from the sale of securities of the
Company, as required in each case under the Securities Exchange Act of 

  
 13 









 
1934, as amended (including any such reimbursements that arise from an accounting restatement of the Company pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the
“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), or the payment to the Company of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act), if Indemnitee is held liable therefor
(including pursuant to any settlement arrangements); 
 (b) for a disgorgement of profits made from the purchase and sale by the
Indemnitee of securities pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and amendments thereto or similar provisions of any state statutory law or common law; 

(c) initiated by Indemnitee, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or its
directors, officers, employees, agents or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Company’s board of directors authorized the Proceeding (or the relevant part of the Proceeding) prior to its initiation, (ii) otherwise authorized in
Section 12(d) or (iii) otherwise required by applicable law; or 
 (d) if prohibited by applicable law. 

17. Amendments. The entitlement to payment hereunder of an Indemnitee shall not be affected or diminished by any amendment, termination or
repeal of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or the Bylaws of the Company with respect to any Proceeding arising out of or relating to any actions, transactions or facts occurring prior to the final adoption of any such amendment,
termination or repeal. This Agreement may not be modified or altered except by a formal writing signed by both parties that specifically refers to this Agreement. 
 18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one instrument. 

19. Indemnification Hereunder Not Exclusive. Nothing herein shall be deemed to diminish or otherwise restrict the Indemnitee’s right
to indemnification under any provision of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company and amendments thereto or under law. Except as expressly set forth herein, 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. It is the intention of the parties in entering into this Agreement that the insurers under any D & O
Insurance policy shall be obligated ultimately to pay any claims by Indemnitee which are covered by such policy and not to give such insurers any rights against the Company under or with respect to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any
right to be subrogated to any of Indemnitee’s rights hereunder, unless otherwise expressly agreed to by the Company in writing, and the obligation of such insurers to the Company or Indemnitee shall not be deemed reduced or impaired in any
respect by virtue of the provisions of this Agreement. 
 20. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with Delaware law. 

  
 14 









 21. Saving Clause. Wherever there is conflict between any provision of this Agreement and any
applicable present or future statute, law or regulation contrary to which the Company and the Indemnitee have no legal right to contract, the latter shall prevail but (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of
this Agreement (including without limitation, each portion of any Section 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 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 but in such event the affected provisions of this Agreement shall be curtailed and restricted
only to the extent necessary to bring them within applicable legal requirements. 
 22. Coverage; Continuation of Indemnity. The
provisions of this Agreement shall apply with respect to the Indemnitee’s service as a Director or officer of the Company prior to the date of this Agreement (if any) and with respect to all periods of such service after the date of this
Agreement, even though the Indemnitee may have ceased to be a Director or officer of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of Indemnitee. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained in this
Agreement shall continue during the period the Indemnitee is a director or officer of the Company (or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, trustee, general partner, managing member, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, limited liability company or other enterprise) and shall continue thereafter so long as the Indemnitee shall be subject to any possible claim or threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal or investigative, by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee was a director or officer of the Company or serving in any other capacity referred to herein. 
 23. Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its 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, and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect
by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, by written agreement, 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. 
 24. Miscellaneous. 

(a) No amendment, modification, termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing signed by both of the
parties hereto; provided, however, that the Company may amend this Agreement from time to time without Indemnitee’s consent to the extent deemed necessary or appropriate, in its sole discretion, to effect compliance with


  
 15 









 
Section 409A of the Code, including regulations and interpretations thereunder, which amendments may result in a reduction of benefits provided hereunder and/or other unfavorable changes to
Indemnitee. 
 (b) This Agreement is intended to provide for the indemnification of, and/or purchase of insurance policies
providing for payments of, expenses and damages incurred with respect to bona fide claims against the Indemnitee, as a service provider, or the Company, as the service recipient, in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(10),
pursuant to which the Agreement shall not provide for the deferral of compensation. The Agreement shall be construed consistently, and limited in accordance with, the provisions of such regulation.
