INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT


 


THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”)
is made as of October 7, 2021 by and between Hawks Acquisition Corp, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and J.
Carney Hawks (“Indemnitee”).


 


RECITALS


 


WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company
(the “Board”) has determined that 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, persons who serve the Company (collectively, the “Company”)
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law;


 


WHEREAS, this Agreement is a supplement to
and in furtherance of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) and the Bylaws (the “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 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 Indemnitee 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 7, 2021, the Company and
Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:


 


TERMS AND CONDITIONS


 


1.                 
SERVICES TO THE COMPANY. In consideration of the Company’s covenants and obligations hereunder, Indemnitee will serve
or continue to serve as an officer, director, key employee or in any other capacity of the Company, as applicable, for so long as Indemnitee
is duly elected or appointed or until Indemnitee tenders Indemnitee’s resignation or until Indemnitee is removed. The foregoing
notwithstanding, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect after Indemnitee has ceased to serve as a director, officer, key
employee or in any other capacity of the Company, as provided in Section 17. This Agreement, however, shall not impose any obligation
on Indemnitee or the Company to continue Indemnitee’s service to the Company beyond any period otherwise required by law or by other
agreements or commitments of the parties, if any.

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. 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, liabilities, fines, penalties and amounts
paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with such Proceeding
or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee 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 Indemnitee’s
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, deponent or otherwise) 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 Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with
such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee 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
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 a party to (or a participant in) and is successful, on the merits
or otherwise, in defending any Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, in whole or in part, the defending Company
shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee against all Expenses actually
and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in defense of such Proceeding (or
part thereof) but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of 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 Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with each such successfully
resolved claim, issue or matter. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in defense of 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 in defense of which Indemnitee was successful. For
purposes of this Section 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 the defense of 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 Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a witness or deponent in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee
was not or is not a party or threatened to be made a party, Indemnitee shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be indemnified,
held harmless and exonerated against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection
therewith.

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 and 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,
liabilities, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the
Proceeding.


 


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.


 


(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 for 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, contract, agreement or other
indemnity or advancement provision or otherwise, 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 rule) or similar provisions of state statutory law or common
law; or


 


(c)               except
as otherwise provided in Sections 14(f)-(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, advance of expenses, hold harmless or
exoneration payment, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law. Indemnitee shall
seek payments or advances from the Company only to the extent that such payments or advances are unavailable from any insurance
policy of the Company covering Indemnitee.

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. Indemnitee shall qualify for advances upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, which shall constitute Indemnitee’s
undertaking, but only to the extent such an undertaking is required by applicable law, to repay the advanced amounts to the extent that
it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, held harmless or exonerated by the Company under the provisions
of this Agreement, the Charter, the Bylaws of the Company, applicable law or otherwise. This Section 10(a) shall not apply to any claim
made by Indemnitee for which an indemnification, advance of expenses, hold harmless or exoneration payment is excluded pursuant to Section
9.


 


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


 


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


 


11.             
PROCEDURE FOR NOTIFICATION AND APPLICATION FOR INDEMNIFICATION.


 


(a)              
Indemnitee agrees to promptly notify 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 Indemnitee’s
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: (i) if no Change of Control has occurred (x) by a majority vote of the Disinterested
Directors, even if less than a quorum of the Board, (y) by a committee of Disinterested Directors, even if less than a quorum of the Board,
or (z) if there are no Disinterested Directors, or if the Indemnitee so directs by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board,
a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee, or (ii) if a Change in Control has occurred, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion
to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Indemnitee. The Company will promptly advise Indemnitee in writing with respect
to any determination that Indemnitee is or is not entitled to indemnification, including a description of any reason or basis for which
indemnification has been denied. If it is 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.


 






    6 


     


    

 


(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 Indemnitee 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).


 


(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.


 






    7 


     


    

 


(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
Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding,
that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.


 


(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, 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, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication by the Delaware Court to such indemnification, hold harmless,
exoneration, contribution or advancement rights. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at Indemnitee’s option, may seek an award in
arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules 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. Such adjudication or arbitration proceeding is referred to herein as “Enforcement Proceeding.”


 


(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 Enforcement Proceeding 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 Enforcement Proceeding, Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to be indemnified, held harmless, exonerated and 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 an Enforcement Proceeding, 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).


 






    8 


     


    

 


(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 Enforcement Proceeding, 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 Enforcement Proceeding 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 (assuming
for purposes of this sentence that all references to a Proceeding in the definition of Expenses were references to an Enforcement Proceeding)
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 Enforcement Proceeding
brought by Indemnitee: (i) to enforce Indemnitee’s rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement or any other
indemnification, hold harmless, exoneration, advancement or contribution agreement or provision of the Charter, or the Bylaws now or hereafter
in effect; or (ii) for recovery or advances under any insurance policy maintained by any person for the benefit of Indemnitee, regardless
of 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 Enforcement Proceeding was not brought by Indemnitee
in good faith).


 


(g)              
Interest shall be paid by the Company to Indemnitee at a rate to be agreed between the Company and the Indemnitee 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.


 


(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
Indemnitee’s Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeals, except as may otherwise be expressly set forth
in such amendment, alteration or repeals and mutually agreed by Indemnitee and the Company. To the extent that a change in
applicable law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration rights or
advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the Charter, the Bylaws, or this Agreement, it is the intent of the
parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy
herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and
in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The
assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of
any other right or remedy.


 






    9 


     


    

 


(b)              
The Delaware General Corporation Law (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 Indemnitee or incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee or in such capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company,
or arising out of Indemnitee’s status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify Indemnitee against such
liability under the provisions of this Agreement or under the DGCL, as it may then be in effect. The purchase, establishment, and maintenance
of any such Indemnification Arrangement shall not in any way limit or affect the rights and obligations of the Company or of Indemnitee
under this Agreement except as expressly provided herein, and the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and Indemnitee
shall not in any way limit or affect the rights and obligations of the Company or the other party or parties thereto under any such Indemnification
Arrangement.


 


(c)              
To the extent that any member of the Company Group maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for
directors, officers, trustees, partners, managers, managing members, fiduciaries, employees, or agents of the Company Group 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, manager, 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, deponent 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 or cause to be taken 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.


 


(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.


 


(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)               
To the extent Indemnitee has rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by the Sponsor or its
affiliates as applicable, (i) the Company shall be the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., that its obligations to Indemnitee are primary
and any obligation of the Sponsor or its affiliates, as applicable, to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses
or liabilities incurred by Indemnitee are secondary), (ii) the Company shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred
by Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount of all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including amounts
paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromises and settlements, as fines and penalties and legal or other costs and reasonable expenses
of investigating or defending against any claim or alleged claim) to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this
Agreement, the Company’s organizational documents or other agreement, without regard to any rights Indemnitee may have against the
Sponsor or its affiliates, as applicable, and (iii) the Company irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Sponsor and its affiliates,
as applicable, from any and all claims against them for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof.
No advancement or payment by the Sponsor or its affiliates, as applicable, on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which
Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing, and the Sponsor and its affiliates, as applicable,
shall have a right of contribution and be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of
Indemnitee against the Company.


 






    10 


     


    

 


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
or Enforcement Proceeding (including any rights of appeal thereto) by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, whether or not
Indemnitee 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 Group, and the Company acknowledges that
Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as a director, officer or key employee of the Company Group.


 


(b)              
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.


 


(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 permitted 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, but subject to such successor’s compliance with Section 19(d)), 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 Indemnitee’s
spouse, permitted 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.


 






    11 


     


    

 


(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 Indemnitee 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 security in connection therewith. The Company acknowledges that in the absence of a waiver,
a bond or other security may be required of Indemnitee by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Company hereby waives any such requirement
of such a bond or other security 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 Company and Indemnitee. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be enforceable unless in writing and signed
by the party against whom it is to be enforced. 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.


 


21.             
NOTICES. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed
to have been duly given (i) if delivered by hand and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have
been directed, or (ii) mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third (3rd) business day after the date on
which it is so mailed:

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. To the
fullest extent permitted by law, the parties hereby agree that the mailing of process and other papers in connection with any such action
or proceeding in the manner provided by Section 21 or in such other manner as may be permitted by law, shall be valid and sufficient service
thereof.


 






    12 


     


    

 


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. Use of the masculine pronoun shall be deemed to include usage of the feminine pronoun where appropriate.
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.             
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.


 


26.             
 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. 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 consummates a Business Combination.


 


27.             
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.
