Exhibit 10.7


 


INDEMNITY AGREEMENT


 


THIS INDEMNITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”)
is made as of October 5, 2021, by and between Avalon Acquisition Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
and John Griff (the “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 attempt 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 Amended and Restated Bylaws (“Bylaws”) of the Company require indemnification of the officers
and directors of the Company. Indemnitee may also be entitled to indemnification pursuant to 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; and


 


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.


 


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of
the premises and the covenants contained herein and subject to the provisions of the letter agreement dated as of October 5, 2021
between the Company and Indemnitee pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement among the Company and the Underwriter in connection with
the Company’s initial public offering, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

foregoing notwithstanding, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect after Indemnitee has ceased to serve as a director,
officer, advisor, key employee or in any other capacity of the Company, as provided in Section 17. This Agreement, however,

3. INDEMNITY IN THIRD-PARTY PROCEEDINGS



 


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 3
if Indemnitee was, is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant (as a witness, deponent or otherwise) in any Proceeding,
other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate
Status. Pursuant to this Section 3, Indemnitee shall be indemnified, held harmless and exonerated 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, 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

by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status. Pursuant
to this Section 4, Indemnitee shall be indemnified, held harmless and exonerated against all Expenses actually and reasonably

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 by a court of competent jurisdiction 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, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status,
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 or
deponent in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party or threatened to be made 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 exonerate Indemnitee if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding (including a Proceeding
by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor) against all Expenses, judgments, fines, 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



 


(a) 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.


 



    	5



    	 



    

 


(b) 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.


 


(c) 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
(except section 27), 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, 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 similar provisions of state statutory law or common law; or


 


(c) except as otherwise provided in Sections
14(f) and (g) 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


 


(a) 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, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be
unsecured and interest free. Advances shall, to the fullest extent permitted by 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 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 advanced amounts 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, applicable law or otherwise. This Section 10(a)
shall not apply to any claim made by Indemnitee for which an indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration payment is excluded
pursuant to Section 9, but shall apply to any Proceeding referenced in Section 9(b) prior to a final determination that
Indemnitee is liable therefor.


 


(b) The Company will be entitled to participate
in the Proceeding at its own expense.


 



    	6



    	 



    

 


(c) 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 APPLICATION
FOR INDEMNIFICATION 


 


(a) 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, claim, issue or matter therein 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.


 


(b) Indemnitee may deliver to the Company a
written application to indemnify, hold harmless or exonerate Indemnitee in accordance with this Agreement. Such application(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 application for indemnification by Indemnitee, Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification shall be determined
according to Section 12(a) of this Agreement.


 


12. PROCEDURE UPON APPLICATION FOR INDEMNIFICATION



 


(a) 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 though
less than a quorum of the Board, (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, (iii) if
there are no Disinterested Directors or if such directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board,
a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee or (iv) 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 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 (irrespective of the determination as to
Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby agrees to indemnify and to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.


 


(b) In the event the determination of entitlement
to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 12(a) hereof, the Independent Counsel shall be
selected as provided in this Section 12(b). 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(b) 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(a) hereof. Upon
the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 14(a) 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).


 



    	7



    	 



    

 


(c) 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



 


(a) 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(b) 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 the Disinterested 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 the Disinterested 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.


 


(b) 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, to the fullest extent permitted by 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 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.


 


(c) 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.


 


(d) 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(d) 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.

(e) 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 


 


(a) 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(a)
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(a) 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.


 


(b) In the event that a determination shall
have been made pursuant to Section 12(a) 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.


 


(c) 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 advancement 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 advancement of Expenses, as the case may be, and the Company may not
refer to or introduce into evidence any determination pursuant to Section 12(a) 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).


 


(d) If a determination shall have been made
pursuant to Section 12(a) 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.


 


(e) 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.


 


(f) 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).


 



    	9



    	 



    

 


(g) 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; PRIORITY OF OBLIGATIONS 


 


(a) 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) or claim, issue or matter
therein 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 the 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.


 


(b) 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.


 


(c) 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 use commercially reasonable efforts 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.


 



    	10



    	 



    

 


(d) In the event of any payment under this
Agreement, the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by 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. No such payment by the
Company shall be deemed to relieve any insurer of its obligations.


 


(e) 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.


 


(f) Notwithstanding anything contained herein,
the Company is the primary indemnitor, and any indemnification or advancement obligation of the Sponsor, its affiliates or any
other Person is secondary.


 


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 


 


(a) 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.


 


(b) Without limiting any of the rights of Indemnitee
under the Charter or the 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.


 


(c) 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 and/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.


 


(d) 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.


 


(e) 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 law, 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, to the fullest extent permitted by 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 a Court of competent jurisdiction, and the Company hereby waives
any such requirement of such a bond or undertaking to the fullest extent permitted by law.


 


20. MODIFICATION AND WAIVER 


 


No supplement, modification or amendment of
this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement
shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions of this Agreement nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing
waiver.

under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) if delivered by hand and receipted

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(a) of
this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law, 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 only in the Delaware Court and
not in any other state or federal court in the United States of America or any court in any other country; (b) consent to
submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court for purposes of any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection
with this Agreement; (c) waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in the Delaware Court;
and (d) waive, and agree not to plead or to make, any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in the Delaware Court
has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum, or is subject (in whole or in part) to a jury trial.


 


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 to the fullest extent permitted by law, 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.


 



    	13



    	 



    

 


27. WAIVER OF CLAIMS TO TRUST ACCOUNT 


 


Notwithstanding anything contained herein to
the contrary, 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. Accordingly, Indemnitee acknowledges and agrees that any indemnification provided hereto will only be able to be satisfied
by the Company if (i) the Company has sufficient funds outside of the Trust Account to satisfy its obligations hereunder or
(ii) the Company completes a Business Combination.


 


28. MAINTENANCE OF INSURANCE 


 


The Company shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain and maintain in effect during the entire period for which the Company is obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee
under this Agreement, one or more policies of insurance with reputable insurance companies to provide the officers/directors of
the Company with coverage for losses from wrongful acts and omissions and to ensure the Company’s performance of its indemnification
obligations under this Agreement. The 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 or officer under such policy or policies. In all such insurance
policies, the Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a manner as to provide the Indemnitee with the same rights and benefits
as are accorded to the most favorably insured of the Company’s directors and officers.
