Exhibit 10.10


 


INDEMNITY AGREEMENT


 


THIS
INDEMNITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of October 26, 2021, by and between LAVA Medtech
Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Richard Emmitt (“Indemnitee”).


 


RECITALS


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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

THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein and subject to the provisions of the letter

3.     INDEMNITY
IN THIRD-PARTY PROCEEDINGS. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate

to or a participant (as a witness or otherwise (including as a recipient of a request from a governmental or regulatory authority) in
any Proceeding, other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 3, Indemnitee

settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments,
fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on his 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, in the case of a criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe
that his or her conduct was unlawful.


 


4.     INDEMNITY
IN PROCEEDINGS BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify,
hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4 if Indemnitee was, is, or is threatened
to be made, a party to or a participant (as a witness or otherwise (including as a recipient of a request from a governmental or regulatory
authority)) in any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 4, Indemnitee
shall be indemnified, held harmless and exonerated against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her 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. No indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration
for Expenses shall be made under this Section 4 in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have
been finally adjudged (all appeals having been exhausted) by a court to be liable to the Company, unless and only to the extent that any
court in which the Proceeding was brought or the Delaware Court shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability
but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification, to be held harmless
or to exoneration.


 






    


    


    

 


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


 


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


 


7.     ADDITIONAL
INDEMNIFICATION, HOLD HARMLESS AND EXONERATION RIGHTS. Notwithstanding any limitation in Sections 3, 4, or 5,
except for Section 27, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold harmless and

right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor) against all Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement
(including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, fines,
penalties and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the Proceeding. No indemnification,
hold harmless or exoneration rights shall be available under this Section 7 on account of Indemnitee’s conduct which
constitutes a breach of Indemnitee’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders or is an act or omission not in good faith
or which involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law.


 


8.     CONTRIBUTION
IN THE EVENT OF JOINT LIABILITY.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 






    


    


    

 


9.     EXCLUSIONS.
Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnification,
advance expenses, hold harmless or exoneration payment in connection with any claim made against Indemnitee:


 


(a)          for
which payment has actually been received by or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity or advancement provision
and which payment has not subsequently been returned, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount actually received under any
insurance policy, contract, agreement, other 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 the
meaning of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act (or any successor thereof) or similar provisions of state statutory law or common
law; or


 


(c)          except
as otherwise provided in Sections 14.5 and 14.6 hereof, prior to a Change in Control, in connection with any Proceeding
(or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee
against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Board authorized the Proceeding (or
any part of any Proceeding) prior to its initiation or (ii) the Company provides the indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration
payment, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law.


 


10.   ADVANCES
OF EXPENSES; DEFENSE OF CLAIM.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


11.   PROCEDURE
FOR NOTIFICATION AND REQUEST FOR INDEMNIFICATION.


 


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


 


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


 






    


    


    

 


12.   PROCEDURE
UPON REQUEST FOR INDEMNIFICATION.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


13.   PRESUMPTIONS
AND EFFECT OF CERTAIN PROCEEDINGS.


 


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


 






    


    


    

 


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


 


13.3 The
termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of
nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the
right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he 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.


 


13.4 For
purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action
is based on the records or books of account of the Enterprise, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee
by the directors, manager or officers of the Enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise,
its Board, any committee of the Board or any director, trustee, general partner, manager or managing member, or on information or records
given or reports made to the Enterprise, its Board, any committee of the Board or any director, trustee, general partner, manager or managing
member, by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected by the Enterprise, its Board, any committee
of the Board or any director, trustee, general partner, manager or managing member. 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.


 


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


 


14.   REMEDIES
OF INDEMNITEE.


 


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


 






    


    


    

 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 






    


    


    

 


16.2 The
DGCL, the Charter and the Bylaws permit the Company to purchase and maintain insurance or furnish similar protection or make other arrangements
including, but not limited to, providing a trust fund, letter of credit, or surety bond (“Indemnification Arrangements”)
on behalf of Indemnitee against any liability asserted against him or her or incurred by or on behalf of him or her or in such capacity
as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Company would
have the power to indemnify him or her 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.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


17.   DURATION
OF AGREEMENT. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period Indemnitee serves
as a director or officer of the Company or as a director, officer, trustee, partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or
agent of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other Enterprise which Indemnitee serves at
the request of the Company and shall continue thereafter so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any possible Proceeding (including
any rights of appeal thereto and any Proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 14 of this Agreement) by reason
of his or her 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.


 






    


    


    

 


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


 


19.   ENFORCEMENT
AND BINDING EFFECT.


 


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


 


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


 


19.3 The
indemnification, hold harmless, exoneration and advancement of expenses rights provided by or granted pursuant to this Agreement shall
be binding upon and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (including any direct or indirect
successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company), shall
continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or a director, officer, trustee,
general partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent 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 enforce this Agreement by seeking, among other things, injunctive relief and/or specific performance hereof, without
any necessity of showing actual damage or irreparable harm and that by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific performance, Indemnitee
shall not be precluded from seeking or obtaining any other relief to which he or she may be entitled. The Company and Indemnitee further
agree that Indemnitee shall be entitled to such specific performance and injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary
injunctions and permanent injunctions, without the necessity of posting bonds or other undertaking in connection therewith. The Company
acknowledges that in the absence of a waiver, a bond or undertaking may be required of Indemnitee by a Court of competent jurisdiction
and the Company hereby waives any such requirement of such a bond or undertaking.


 






    


    


    

 


20.   MODIFICATION
AND WAIVER. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the parties

Agreement nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

22.   APPLICABLE
LAW AND CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. This Agreement and the legal relations among the parties shall be governed by, and construed
and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Except with respect
to any arbitration commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 14.1 of this Agreement, the Company and Indemnitee hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally: (a) agree that any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought

23.   IDENTICAL
COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an
original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Only one such counterpart signed by the party against
whom enforceability is sought needs to be produced to evidence the existence of this Agreement.


 


24.   MISCELLANEOUS.
The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this
Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.


 


25.   PERIOD
OF LIMITATIONS. No legal action shall be brought and no cause of action shall be asserted by or in the right of the Company against
Indemnitee, Indemnitee’s spouse, heirs, executors or personal or legal representatives after the expiration of two years from
the date of accrual of such cause of action, and any claim or cause of action of the Company shall be extinguished and deemed released
unless asserted by the timely filing of a legal action within such two-year period; provided, however, that if any shorter period of limitations
is otherwise applicable to any such cause of action such shorter period shall govern.


 






    


    


    

 


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


 


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