INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT


 


INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
(this “Agreement”), dated as of May 29, 2020, by and between Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), and [___], a natural person (“Indemnitee”).


 


R E C I T A L S


 


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


 


WHEREAS, directors
and officers are increasingly being subjected to expensive and time-consuming litigation relating to, among other things, matters
that traditionally would have been brought only against the corporation itself;


 


WHEREAS, the
Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) recognizes the limitations on the protection provided by liability
insurance and the uncertainties as to the scope and level of such coverage that may be available in the future;


 


WHEREAS, the
Board recognizes the limitations on the protection provided by existing indemnification arrangements pursuant to the Company’s
second amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter”) and amended and restated bylaws (the
 “Bylaws”) and the uncertainties as to its availability in any particular situation;


 


WHEREAS, the
Board believes that, in light of the limitations and uncertainties in respect of the protection provided by the Company’s
liability insurance and existing indemnification arrangements and the impact these uncertainties may have on the Company’s
ability to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve or continue to serve the Company as directors, officers or in other
capacities, the Company should act to assure such individuals that there will be increased certainty with respect to such protection
in the future;


 


WHEREAS, it
is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate
and to advance expenses on behalf of, such individuals 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 may not be adequately protected;


 


WHEREAS, Indemnitee
is concerned that the protection provided under the Company’s liability insurance and existing indemnification arrangements
may not be adequate and may not be willing to serve or continue to serve the Company as a director, an officer or in any other
capacity without greater certainty concerning such protection, and the Company desires Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve
the Company as a director, an officer or in another capacity and is willing to provide such greater certainty; and


 






    


     


    

 


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


 


A G R E E M E N T S


 


NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the premises, covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the

covenant and agree as follows:

Company shall indemnify, hold Indemnitee harmless and exonerate Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.1
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 3.1, Indemnitee
shall be indemnified, held harmless and exonerated against all Expenses, judgments, liabilities, fines, penalties and amounts paid

judgments, liabilities, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement) 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

Pursuant to this Section 4.1, Indemnitee shall be indemnified, held harmless and exonerated against all Expenses

adjudication, 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 (or any court hearing appeals therefrom) 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.

ARTICLE V


 


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


 


5.1            Any
other provisions of this Agreement notwithstanding, to the extent that Indemnitee was or is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate
Status, a party to (or a participant in) and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any Proceeding or any
claim, issue or matter therein, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold Indemnitee
harmless and exonerate Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s
behalf in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims,
issues or matters in any Proceeding, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold Indemnitee
harmless and exonerate Indemnitee 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 5.1 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. If 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 actually and reasonably incurred in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter.


 


ARTICLE VI


 


INDEMNIFICATION FOR EXPENSES OF A
WITNESS


 


6.1            Any
other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate
Status, a witness in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee was or is not a party, Indemnitee shall, to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, be indemnified, held harmless and exonerated against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee
or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith.

ADDITIONAL INDEMNIFICATION, HOLD HARMLESS
AND EXONERATION RIGHTS

addition to, and without regard to any limitations on, the indemnification provided for in Sections 3.1, 4.1 or 5.1,
the Company shall indemnify, hold Indemnitee harmless and exonerate Indemnitee if Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a
party to or 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, 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, liabilities, fines, penalties and
amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with such
Proceeding. The only limitations that shall exist upon the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement shall be those
exclusions set forth in Section 9.1, and that the Company shall not be obligated to make any payment to Indemnitee
that is finally determined (under the procedures, and subject to the presumptions, set forth in Articles XII and XIII)
to be unlawful.

ARTICLE VIII


 


CONTRIBUTION IN THE EVENT OF JOINT
LIABILITY


 


8.1            Whether
or not the indemnification provided in Sections 3.1, 4.1, 5.1 and 7.1 hereof is available, if, for
any reason, Indemnitee shall be required to pay, in connection with any Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable
with Indemnitee, all or any portion of any judgments, liabilities, fines, penalties, amounts to be paid in settlement and/or for
Expenses, the Company shall contribute to the amount actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable by Indemnitee, whether
for judgments, liabilities, fines, penalties, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses in proportion to the
relative benefits received by the Company and all agents of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with Indemnitee,
on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, from the transaction or transactions from which such Proceeding arose; provided,
however, that the proportion determined on the basis of relative benefit may, to the extent necessary to conform to law,
be further adjusted by reference to the relative fault of the Company and all agents of the Company other than Indemnitee who are
jointly liable with Indemnitee, on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, in connection with the events that resulted
in such judgments, liabilities, fines, penalties, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses, as well as any
other equitable considerations which applicable law may require to be considered. The relative fault of the Company and all agents
of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with Indemnitee, on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand,
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the degree to which their actions were motivated by intent to gain personal
profit or advantage, the degree to which their liability is primary or secondary and the degree to which their conduct is active
or passive. The Company shall not enter into any settlement in respect of any Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable
with Indemnitee unless such settlement provides for a full and final release of all claims asserted against Indemnitee.


 


8.2            The
Company shall indemnify, hold Indemnitee harmless or exonerate Indemnitee from any claims of contribution which may be brought
by agents of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who may be jointly liable with Indemnitee in respect of any Proceeding.


 


8.3            To
the fullest extent permissible by applicable law, if the indemnification, hold harmless 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 and
holding Indemnitee harmless, shall contribute to the 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, claim, matter or issue
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/or transaction(s) giving cause to such Proceeding; and/or (ii) the relative fault
of the Company (and its agents, other than Indemnitee) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s) and/or transaction(s).

EXCLUSIONS


 


9.1            Notwithstanding
any provision in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnification, advance,
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, contract, agreement, indemnity
provision or otherwise, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount actually received under such insurance policy, contract,
agreement, indemnity or advancement 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

applicable; or


 


(c)            except
as otherwise provided in Section 14.5 hereof, in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated
by Indemnitee, including any Proceeding (or any part of such Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors,
officers, employees or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Board authorized such Proceeding (or any part of such 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.


 


ARTICLE X


 


ADVANCES OF EXPENSES; DEFENSE OF CLAIMS


 


10.1            Notwithstanding
any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall advance
any Expenses incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with a Proceeding within thirty (30) days after
receipt by the Company of a written statement requesting such advance, which statement may be delivered to the Company at such
time and from time to time as Indemnitee deems appropriate in Indemnitee’s sole discretion (whether prior to or after final
disposition of any such Proceeding). Advances shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, 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 this Agreement or otherwise. Any such advances shall be made on an unsecured basis and be interest
free. Advances shall include any and all reasonable Expenses incurred pursuing a Proceeding to enforce the right of advancement
provided herein, including Expenses incurred preparing and forwarding a statement or statements to the Company to support the advances
requested. Indemnitee shall qualify for advances, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, solely upon the execution
and delivery to the Company of an undertaking providing that Indemnitee shall repay any and all advances to the extent that it
is ultimately determined, in a final non-appealable adjudication, that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, held harmless
or exonerated by the Company under either of the provisions of this Agreement, the Charter, the Bylaws, 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 9.1.


 






    -9-


     


    

 


10.2            Indemnitee
shall reimburse the Company for all amounts advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 10.1 if it is ultimately determined,
in a final non-appealable adjudication, that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company for such Expenses. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if Indemnitee seeks a judicial adjudication pursuant to Section 14.1, Indemnitee shall not be required
to reimburse the Company pursuant to this Section 10.2 until a final determination (as to which all rights of appeal
have been exhausted or lapsed) has been made.


 


10.3            The
Company shall be entitled to participate in any Proceeding at its own expense. Neither party shall settle a Proceeding (in whole
or in part) which settlement would impose any Expense, liability or limitation on the other party hereto without such party’s
prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.


 


ARTICLE XI


 


PROCEDURE FOR NOTIFICATION AND APPLICATION
FOR INDEMNIFICATION


 


11.1            Indemnitee
shall notify the Company in writing as soon as reasonably practicable (a) after being served with any summons, citation, subpoena,
complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or (b) if the Company has not been previously
notified, after receipt of written notice of any other matter with respect to which Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification,
hold harmless or exoneration rights under Sections 3.1, 4.1 or 6.1 or advancement of Expenses under Section 10.1.
The omission by Indemnitee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to Indemnitee
(i) under this Agreement except and only to the extent the Company can establish that such omission to notify resulted in
actual material prejudice to the Company or (ii) otherwise than under this Agreement.


 


11.2            Indemnitee
may thereafter deliver to the Company a written request for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement at such time and from time
to time as Indemnitee deems appropriate in Indemnitee’s sole discretion, which request shall also be deemed a request for
advancement of expenses under Section 10.1. Following such a written request, Indemnitee’s entitlement to
indemnification shall be determined according to Section 12.1.


 


ARTICLE XII


 


PROCEDURE UPON APPLICATION FOR INDEMNIFICATION


 


12.1            (a) 
Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of Section 11.2 hereof, a determination,
if required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case by one
of the following methods:


 


(i)            if
Indemnitee is not a member of the Nominating and Governance Committee and the members of such committee are all Disinterested Directors,
then the Nominating and Governance Committee shall promptly consider the request for indemnification and make a recommendation
to the Board action in respect of such request for indemnification (which may include granting such request, denying it or any
other action such committee deems to be appropriate and in the best interests of the Company);


 






    -10-


     


    

 


(ii)            If
Indemnitee is a member of the Nominating and Governance Committee, then if there are at least three members of the Board who are
Disinterested Directors, such Disinterested Directors will appoint a Board committee amongst themselves, which committee may, but
shall not be required to, include all Disinterested Directors, solely for the purpose of considering the request for indemnification
by Indemnitee and shall promptly consider the request for indemnification and make the determination on behalf of the Board and
take such action in respect thereof (which may include granting such request, denying it or any other action such committee deems
to be appropriate and in the best interests of the Company);


 


(iii)            If
there are less than three Disinterested Directors, then such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s request for indemnification
shall be made by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee.


 


(b)  The Company
shall promptly 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 determined that Indemnitee is
entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ten (10) business 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, which cooperation shall include providing to such person, persons or entity, upon such person’s, persons’
or entity’s reasonable advance request, any documentation or information which is (i) reasonably available to Indemnitee
and reasonably necessary to such determination and (ii) not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure. Any costs or
Expenses (including reasonable 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 (regardless of what the outcome of the determination
as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification is) and the Company shall indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.


 


12.2            If
the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 12.1(a)(iii) hereof,
the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Nominating and Governance Committee or, if all members thereof are not Disinterested
Directors, by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Board. The Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising him
or her of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. Indemnitee may, within ten (10) days of its receipt of such
written notice of selection, deliver to the Company 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 1.1(t), and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis
of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected by the Nominating and Governance Committee shall
act as Independent Counsel. If a written objection is 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 Indemnitee to the Company’s
selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the Delaware Court or
by such other person as the Delaware 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 12.1 hereof. Upon the due commencement of
any judicial proceeding pursuant to Section 14.1, 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 shall pay any and all reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel incurred by such Independent Counsel in connection
with acting pursuant to Section 12.1 hereof, and the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident to
the procedures of Section 12.2, regardless of the manner in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed.


 


ARTICLE XIII


 


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 burdens of coming forward with evidence
and of persuasion to overcome that presumption. Neither the failure of the Company to have made a determination prior to the commencement
of any action pursuant to this Agreement as to whether indemnification is proper under the circumstances nor an actual determination
made pursuant to Section 12.1 hereof that Indemnitee has not met the 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 12.1 to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled
to indemnification shall not have made a determination within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor,
the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, 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 prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law; provided,
however, that such sixty (60)-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional thirty (30)
days, if the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires
such additional time to obtain and evaluate documentation and/or information relating thereto.


 






    -12-


     


    

 


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 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 Indemnitee’s 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 officers of the Enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise
or on information or records given or reports made to the Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser
or other expert selected by the Enterprise. 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 Indemnitee may be deemed or found to have met the applicable standard of
conduct set forth in this Agreement. In addition, the knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any other director, other
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. Whether or not the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.4
are satisfied, it shall in any event be presumed that Indemnitee has at all times 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. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall
have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence.


 


ARTICLE XIV


 


REMEDIES OF INDEMNITEE


 


14.1            In
the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 12.1 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 10.1 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification
shall have been made pursuant to Section 12.1 of this Agreement within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company
of the request for indemnification (subject to any extension as provided in Section 13.2), (iv) payment of indemnification
is not made pursuant to this Agreement within ten (10) business days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor,
(v) a contribution payment is not made in a timely manner pursuant to Article VIII of this Agreement, (vi) payment
of indemnification pursuant to this Agreement is not made within ten (10) business days after a determination has been made
that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or such determination is deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 13.2,
or (vii) payment to Indemnitee pursuant to any hold harmless or exoneration rights under this Agreement or otherwise is not
made within ten (10) business 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.


 






    -13-


     


    

 


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 commenced pursuant to this Article XIV shall be conducted in all
respects as a de novo trial on the merits and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of the adverse determination
under Section 12.1. In any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Article XIV, Indemnitee
shall be presumed to be entitled to be indemnified, held harmless, exonerated and 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.


 


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 commenced pursuant to this Article XIV,
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 commenced pursuant to this Article XIV that the
procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court that
the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.


 


14.5            Unless
and until a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 12.1 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled
to indemnification, the Company shall indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law
against all Expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (within ten (10) business days after the Company’s receipt
of such written request) advance to Indemnitee, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Expenses which are incurred
by Indemnitee in connection with any judicial proceeding brought by Indemnitee (i) to enforce Indemnitee’s rights under,
or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement or any other indemnification, hold harmless, exoneration, advancement or contribution
arrangement or provision of the Charter or the 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 whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined
to be entitled to such indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration right, advance, contribution or insurance recovery, as the
case may be.


 


ARTICLE XV


 


DIRECTORS’ AND OFFICERS’
LIABILITY INSURANCE


 


15.1            The
Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain a policy or policies of insurance (the “D&O
Liability Insurance”) at commercially reasonable rates with reputable insurance companies providing liability insurance
for directors and officers of the Company in their capacities as such (and for any capacity in which any director or officer of
the Company serves any other Enterprise at the request of the Company), in respect of acts or omissions occurring while serving
in such capacity.


 






    -14-


     


    

 


15.2            To
the extent D&O Liability Insurance is obtained and maintained by the Company, Indemnitee shall be covered by the Company’s
D&O Liability Insurance policy or policies as in effect from time to time in accordance with the applicable terms to the maximum
extent of the coverage available under such policy or policies. The Company shall, promptly after receiving notice of a Proceeding
as to which Indemnitee is a party or a participant (as a witness or otherwise), give notice of such Proceeding to the insurers
under the Company’s D&O Liability Insurance policies in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies.
The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable actions to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all
amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies. The failure or refusal of any such
insurer to pay any such amount shall not affect or impair the obligations of the Company under this Agreement.


 


15.3            Upon
request by Indemnitee, the Company shall provide to Indemnitee copies of the D&O Liability Insurance policies as in effect
from time to time. The Company shall promptly notify Indemnitee of any material changes in such insurance coverage.


 


ARTICLE XVI


 


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 Bylaws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders, 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) or claim, issue or matter therein arising out of, or related to, any action taken or omitted by Indemnitee in Indemnitee’s
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 Bylaws or 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. 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
Company hereby acknowledges that Indemnitee may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses, and/or insurance
provided by one or more third parties (collectively, the “Third-Party Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees
and acknowledges (i) the Company is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., the Company’s obligations to Indemnitee hereunder
are primary and any obligation of any Third-Party Indemnitor to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses
or liabilities incurred by Indemnitee are secondary), (ii) the Company shall be required to advance the full amount of Expenses
incurred by Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount of all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in
settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement, Charter, Bylaws (or any other agreement
between the Company and Indemnitee), without regard to any rights Indemnitee may have against any Third-Party Indemnitor, and (iii) the
Company irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases all Third-Party Indemnitors from any and all claims against any such Third-Party
Indemnitor for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the event that Indemnitee shall have received an advancement of expenses from or payment by any Third-Party Indemnitor on behalf
of Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Company, then such Third-Party
Indemnitor shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights
of recovery of Indemnitee against the Company. To the extent that advances or payments are actually made by a Third-Party Indemnitor
to or on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to any claim, the Company and Indemnitee agree that the Third-Party Indemnitor that
or who made such advance or payment is an express third party beneficiary of the terms of this Section 16.2. Except
as provided in this Section 16.2, the Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts
otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance
policy, contract, agreement, or otherwise from a Third-Party Indemnitor.


 






    -15-


     


    

 


16.3            The
DGCL permits the Company to purchase and maintain insurance or furnish similar protection or make other arrangements including,
but not limited to, providing a letter of credit or surety bond (“Indemnification Arrangements”) on behalf of
Indemnitee against any liability asserted against Indemnitee or incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee or in such capacity as a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or arising out of Indemnitee’s status as such, whether or not the Company
would have the power to indemnify Indemnitee 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 Indemnitee under this Agreement except as expressly provided
herein, and the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and 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.


 


16.4            In
the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, 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.

ARTICLE XVII


 


DURATION OF AGREEMENT


 


17.1            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 Article XIV of this Agreement) by reason of
Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, whether or not he or she is acting in any such capacity at the time any liability or expense
is incurred for which indemnification or advancement can be provided under this Agreement.


 


ARTICLE XVIII


 


SEVERABILITY


 


18.1            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 applicable 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.


 


ARTICLE XIX


 


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 or to continue 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.


 






    -17-


     


    

 


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 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, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, enforce this Agreement by seeking
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 Indemnitee may be entitled. The Company and Indemnitee further agree that Indemnitee shall, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, 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 the
Court, and the Company hereby waives any such requirement of such a bond or undertaking to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law.
