directors, members, managers, partners, agents, representatives, successors, assigns and employees and each other Person, if any,
who controls the Standby Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act (all such Persons being hereinafter referred to, collectively,
as the “Standby Indemnified Persons”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses
to which any of the Standby Indemnified Persons may become subject (i) as a result of any breach by the Company of any of its representations
or warranties contained herein or in any certificate delivered hereunder or (ii) under the Securities Act or any other statute
or at common law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of
or are based upon any alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained, on the effective date thereof, in the Registration
Statement, each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or any alleged omission
to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and shall reimburse each such Standby Indemnified Person for any reasonable
legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Standby Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending
any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case
to any Standby Indemnified Person to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based
upon (i) any actual or alleged untrue statement or actual or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, each Issuer Free
Writing Prospectus, the Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by such Standby Indemnified Person specifically for use therein, (ii) the failure of the Standby
Purchaser to perform any covenant and agreement contained in this Agreement, (iii) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty
made by the Standby Purchaser in this Agreement, or (iv) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Standby Indemnified
Person. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Standby
Indemnified Person, and shall survive the transfer of such Securities or New Shares by such Standby Indemnified Person.


 


(b) The Standby Purchaser,
by acceptance hereof, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Affiliates, officers, directors, members, managers,
partners, agents, representatives, successors, assigns and employees and each other Person, if any, who controls the Company within
the meaning of the Securities Act (all such Persons being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as the “Company Indemnified
Persons,” and together with the Standby Indemnified Persons, the “Indemnified Persons”)
against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses to which any of the Company Indemnified Persons may become subject
(i) as a result of any breach by the Standby Purchaser of any of its representations or warranties contained herein or in any certificate
delivered hereunder or (ii) under the Securities Act or any other statute or at common law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, information provided in writing to the
Company by the Standby Purchaser specifically for use in the Registration Statement, each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the
Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto; provided, however, that the Standby Purchaser will not be liable in any
such case to the extent that any such any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses arise out of or are based upon (i)
the failure of the Company to perform any covenant and agreement contained in this Agreement, (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation
or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or (iii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Company Indemnified
Person.

(c) Any Indemnified
Person will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification
(provided that the failure to give such notice shall not limit the rights of such Indemnified Person, except to the extent the
indemnifying party is actually prejudiced thereby) and (ii) unless, in such Indemnified Person’s reasonable judgment, a conflict
of interest between such Indemnified Person and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying
party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; provided, however, that
any Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the
fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (A) the indemnifying party has agreed
to pay such fees or expenses or (B) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If such defense is not assumed by the indemnifying party as permitted hereunder,
the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its prior
written consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If such defense is assumed by the indemnifying
party pursuant to the provisions hereof, such indemnifying party shall not settle or otherwise compromise the applicable claim
unless (i) such settlement or compromise contains a full and unconditional release of the Indemnified Person or (ii) the Indemnified
Person otherwise consents in advance in writing, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. An indemnifying party
who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more
than one counsel for all Indemnified Persons by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment
of any Indemnified Person, a conflict of interest may exist between such Indemnified Person and any other of such Indemnified Persons
with respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and disbursements
of such additional counsel or counsels.


 


(d) (i) If the indemnification
provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to an Indemnified Person hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities
or expenses referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person, shall contribute
to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and Indemnified Person in connection
with the actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and Indemnified Persons shall be determined by reference to, among
other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, the indemnifying party or the
Indemnified Persons, and their relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action.
The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall
be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation
or proceeding.


 


(ii) The parties hereto
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9(d) were determined by pro rata allocation
or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately
preceding paragraph. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.


 


Section 10. Survival. The
representations and warranties of the Company and the Standby Purchaser contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered
hereunder shall survive the Closing hereunder.


 


Section 11. Notices. All
notices, communications and deliveries required or permitted by this Agreement shall be made in writing signed by the party making
the same, shall specify the Section of this Agreement pursuant to which it is given or being made and shall be deemed given or
made (a) on the date delivered if delivered by telecopy or in person, (b) on the third (3rd) Business Day after it is mailed if
mailed by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) (with postage and other fees prepaid) or (c) on the day after
it is delivered, prepaid, to an overnight express delivery service that confirms to the sender delivery on such day, as follows:
