Director will also serve on such one or more committees of the Board as he or she and the Board shall mutually agree.
​
II.       Nature of Relationship

The Director shall not, in her capacity as a director of the Company, enter into any agreement or incur any obligations on the Company’s behalf, without appropriate Board action.
​
The Company will supply, at no cost to the Director: periodic briefings on the business, director packages for each board and committee meeting, copies of minutes of meetings and any other materials that are required under the Company’s Articles and Bylaws or the charter of any committee of the Board on which the Director serves and any other materials which may, by mutual agreement, be necessary for performing the services requested under this Agreement.

This cash fee may be revised by action of the Board from time to time. Such revision shall be effective as of the date specified in the resolution for payments not yet earned and need not be documented by an amendment to this Agreement to be effective. In addition, if the non-employee Director serves as the chairperson of any standing committee of the Board, he or she may be entitled to additional cash compensation as decided by the Board (or the compensation committee thereof) in its sole discretion.
​
​




​
B.  Additional Payments
​
To the extent services described in Section I require out-of-town trips, the monthly compensation of subparagraph A, above shall be deemed inclusive of such additional travel time.

​
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements contained herein, including Director’s continued service to the Corporation, the Corporation and Director hereby agree as follows:
​
Section 1.  DEFINITIONS. The following terms, as used herein, shall have the following respective meanings:

​
		(a)	the Corporation or Director in any matter material to either such party,

​
		(b)	any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder or

​
		(c)	the beneficial owners, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Corporation representing 5% or more of the combined voting power of the Corporation’s then outstanding voting securities.

​

​

​
Section 2. INDEMNIFICATION. The Corporation shall indemnify, and advance Expenses to, Director to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in effect on the date of the effectiveness of this Agreement, and to such greater extent as applicable law may thereafter permit. The rights of Director provided under the preceding sentence shall include, but not be limited to, the right to be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law in Proceedings by or in the right of the Corporation and to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law in all other Proceedings. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such right to be indemnified shall survive and continue following the termination of Director’s service as a director of the Corporation, with respect to conduct and actions taken, and decisions made, by Director in her capacity as a director of the Corporation. The provisions set forth below in this Agreement are provided in furtherance, and not by way of limitation, of the obligations expressed in this Section 2.
​
Section 3. EXPENSES RELATED TO PROCEEDINGS. If Director is, by reason of her status as a director of the Corporation, a witness in or a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding, he shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by her or on her behalf in connection therewith. If Director is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to any Matter in such Proceeding, the Corporation shall indemnify Director against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by her or on her behalf relating to each Matter. The termination of any Matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such Matter.
​
Section 4. ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES. The Corporation shall pay or reimburse Director for the Expenses incurred by Director in advance of the final disposition of a Proceeding within ten days after Director requests such payment or reimbursement, to the fullest extent permitted by, and subject to compliance with, Delaware law.
​
Section 5. REQUEST FOR INDEMNIFICATION. To obtain indemnification Director shall submit to the Corporation a written request with such information as is reasonably available to Director. The Secretary of the Corporation shall promptly advise the Board of Directors of such request.
​
Section 6. DETERMINING ENTITLEMENT TO INDEMNIFICATION IF NO CHANGE IN CONTROL. If there has been no Change In Control at the time the request for Indemnification is sent, Director’s entitlement to indemnification shall be determined in accordance with Delaware law. If entitlement to indemnification is to be determined by Independent Counsel, the Corporation shall furnish notice to Director within ten days after receipt of the request for indemnification, specifying the identity and address of Independent Counsel. Director may, within 14 days after receipt of such written notice of selection, deliver
​




​
to the Corporation a written objection to such selection. Such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of Independent Counsel and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. If there is an objection to the selection of Independent Counsel, either the Corporation or Director may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for a determination that the objection is without a reasonable basis and/or for the appointment of Independent Counsel selected by the court.
​
Section 7. DETERMINING ENTITLEMENT TO INDEMNIFICATION IF CHANGE IN CONTROL. If there has been a Change In Control at the time the request for indemnification is sent, Director’s entitlement to indemnification shall be determined in a written opinion by Independent Counsel selected by Director. Director shall give the Corporation written notice advising of the identity and address of the Independent Counsel so selected. The Corporation may, within seven days after receipt of such written notice of selection, deliver to Director a written objection to such selection. Director may, within five days after the receipt of such objection from the Corporation, submit the name of another Independent Counsel and the Corporation may, within seven days after receipt of such written notice of selection, deliver to Director a written objection to such selection. Any objection is subject to the limitations in Section 6 of this Agreement. Director may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for a determination that the Corporation’s objection to the first and/or second selection of Independent Counsel is without a reasonable basis and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court.
​
Section 8. PROCEDURES OF INDEPENDENT COUNSEL. If there has been a Change In Control before the time the request for indemnification is sent by Director, Director shall be presumed (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) to be entitled to indemnification upon submission of a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement, and thereafter the Corporation shall have the burden of proof to overcome the presumption in reaching a determination contrary to the presumption. The presumption shall be used by Independent Counsel as a basis for a determination of entitlement to indemnification unless the Corporation provides information sufficient to overcome such presumption by clear and convincing evidence or the investigation, review and analysis of Independent Counsel convinces him or her by clear and convincing evidence that the presumption should not apply.
​
Except in the event that the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel, if the person or persons empowered under Section 6 or 7 of this Agreement to determine entitlement to indemnification shall not have made and furnished to Director in writing a determination within 60 days after receipt by the Corporation of the request therefor, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and Director shall be entitled to such indemnification unless Director knowingly misrepresented a material fact in connection with the request for indemnification or such indemnification is prohibited by law. The termination of any Proceeding or of any 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 Director to indemnification or create a presumption that (a) Director did not act in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in her official capacity as a director of the Corporation, to be in the best interests of the Corporation or in all other cases that her conduct was at least not opposed to the Corporation’s best interests, or (b) with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Director had reasonable cause to believe that her conduct was unlawful.
​
Section 9. EXPENSES OF INDEPENDENT COUNSEL. The Corporation shall pay any and all reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel incurred acting pursuant to this Agreement and in any proceeding to which it is a party or witness in respect of its investigation and written report and shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the procedures in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed. No Independent Counsel may serve if a timely objection has been made to his or her selection until a court has determined that such objection is without a reasonable basis.
​
​




​
Section 10. TRIAL DE NOVO. In the event that (a) a determination is made pursuant to Section 6 or 7 of this Agreement that Director is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (b) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement, (c) Independent Counsel has not made and delivered a written opinion determining the request for indemnification (i) within 90 days after being appointed by a court, (ii) within 90 days after objections to his or her selection have been overruled by a court or (iii) within 90 days after the time for the Corporation or Director to object to his or her selection or (d) payment of indemnification is not made within five days after a determination of entitlement to indemnification has been made or deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 6, 7 or 8 of this Agreement, Director shall be entitled to an adjudication in any court of competent jurisdiction of her entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses. In the event that a determination shall have been made that Director is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding (including any arbitration) commenced pursuant to this Section 10 shall be conducted in all respects as a DE NOVO trial on the merits, and Director shall not be prejudiced by reasons of that adverse determination. If a Change In Control shall have occurred, in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 10, the Corporation shall have the burden of proving that Director is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the case may be. If a determination shall have been made or deemed to have been made that Director is entitled to indemnification, the Corporation shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 10, or otherwise, unless Director knowingly misrepresented a material fact in connection with the request for indemnification, or such indemnification is prohibited by law.
​
The Corporation shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 10 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court that the Corporation is bound by all provisions of this Agreement. In the event that Director, pursuant to this Section 10, seeks a judicial adjudication to enforce his rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, Director shall be entitled to recover from the Corporation, and shall be indemnified by the Corporation against, any and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him in such judicial adjudication, but only if he prevails therein. If it shall be determined in such judicial adjudication that Director is entitled to receive part but not all of the indemnification or advancement of Expenses sought, the Expenses incurred by Director in connection with such judicial adjudication shall nevertheless be paid by the Corporation.
​
Section 11. NON-EXCLUSIVITY. The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Director may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, a vote of stockholders, a resolution of the Board of Directors or otherwise. No amendment or modification of this Agreement or any provision hereof shall be effective as to Director for acts, events and circumstances that occurred, in whole or in part, before such amendment or modification. The provisions of this Agreement shall continue as to Director notwithstanding any termination of his status as a director of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors and administrators.
​
Section 12. INSURANCE AND SUBROGATION. To the extent the Corporation maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors or officers of the Corporation or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which such person serves at the request of the Corporation, Director shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of coverage available for any such director or officer under such policy or policies.
​
In the event of any payment hereunder, the Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all the rights of recovery of Director, 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 Corporation to bring suit to enforce such rights.
​




​
The Corporation shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if, and to the extent that, Director has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.
​
Section 13. SEVERABILITY. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and, to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.
​
Section 14. CIRCUMSTANCES WHEN DIRECTOR IS NOT ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION. Director shall not be entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Agreement with respect to any Proceeding, or any Matter therein, brought or made by Director against the Corporation, other than a Proceeding, or Matter therein, brought by Director to enforce his rights under this Agreement and in which Director is successful, in whole or in part.
​
Section 15. NOTICES. Any communication required or permitted to the Corporation shall be addressed to the Secretary of the Corporation and any such communication to Director shall be given in writing by depositing the same in the United States mail, with postage thereon prepaid, addressed to the person to whom such notice is directed at the address of such person on the records of the Corporation, and such notice shall be deemed given at the time when the same shall be so deposited in the United States mail.
​

	The Director shall maintain in trust and confidence and not disclose to any third party or use for any unauthorized purpose any Proprietary Information received from or on behalf of Knightscope or which Director learns in connection with her services as a director on the Board. The Director may use such Proprietary Information only to the extent required to accomplish the purposes of her position at Knightscope.

​
		4.
	Proprietary Information supplied shall not be reproduced in any form except as required to accomplish the intent of this Agreement.

		6.
	All Proprietary Information (including all copies thereof) shall remain the property of Knightscope, and shall be returned to Knightscope (or destroyed) after the Director's need for it has expired, or upon request of Knightscope, and in any event, upon the expiration or termination of that


​




​
certain Board of Directors Agreement, of even date herewith, between Knightscope and the Director (the “Director Agreement”).
​
		7.
	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, disclosure of Proprietary Information shall not be precluded if such disclosure:


​
		a.	is in response to a valid order, including a subpoena, of a court or other governmental body of the United States or any political subdivision thereof; provided, however, that to the extent reasonably feasible, the Director shall first have given Knightscope notice of the Director’s receipt of such order and Knightscope shall have had an opportunity to obtain a protective order requiring that the Proprietary Information so disclosed be used only for the purpose for which the order was issued;

This Agreement may be terminated at any time thereafter upon thirty (30) days written notice to the other party. The termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Director of the obligations imposed by Paragraphs 3, 4, 5 and 11 of this Agreement with respect to Proprietary information disclosed prior to the effective date of such termination and the provisions of these Paragraphs shall survive the termination of this Agreement indefinitely with respect to Proprietary Information that constitutes “trade secrets” and for a period of ten (10) years from the date of such termination with respect to other Proprietary Information.
