Exhibit 10.6


 


INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT


 


THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
(the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of [__________], 2021 between Rapid Micro Biosystems, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), and [__________] (“Indemnitee”).


 


WITNESSETH THAT:


 


WHEREAS, highly competent
persons have become more reluctant to serve 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 the corporation;


 


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 United
States-based 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 By-laws of the Company require indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company. Indemnitee may also be entitled
to indemnification pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”). The By-laws 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;


 


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, 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 indemnified;


 


WHEREAS, this Agreement is
a supplement to and in furtherance of the By-laws 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 does
not regard the protection available under the Company’s By-laws and insurance as adequate in the present circumstances, and
may not be willing to serve as an officer or director 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 be so indemnified[; and]


 






     


     


    

 


[WHEREAS, Indemnitee has certain
rights to indemnification and/or insurance provided by Fund Indemnitor (as defined below) which Indemnitee and Fund Indemnitor intend
to be secondary to the primary obligation of the Company to indemnify Indemnitee as provided herein, with the Company’s acknowledgement
and agreement to the foregoing being a material condition to Indemnitee’s willingness to serve on the Board.]


 


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of Indemnitee’s agreement to serve as an officer or a director from and after the date hereof, the parties hereto agree as follows:


 


1.       Indemnity
of Indemnitee. The Company hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law, as such
may be amended from time to time. In furtherance of the foregoing indemnification, and without limiting the generality thereof:


 


(a)       Proceedings
Other Than Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in
this Section l(a) if, by reason of his or her Corporate Status (as defined in Section 13), the Indemnitee is, or is threatened
to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding (as defined in Section 13) other than a Proceeding by or in the right of
the Company. Pursuant to this Section 1(a), Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses (as defined in Section 13),
judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her, or on his or her behalf, in
connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner the Indemnitee
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe the Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.


 


(b)       Proceedings
by or in the Right of the Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section 1(b)
if, by reason of his or her Corporate Status, the Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding
brought by or in the right of the Company. Pursuant to this Section 1(b), Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee, or on the Indemnitee’s behalf, in connection with such Proceeding if the Indemnitee
acted in good faith and in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company; provided,
however, if applicable law so provides, no indemnification against such Expenses shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter
in such Proceeding as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and to the extent that the Court
of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall determine that such indemnification may be made.


 


(c)       Indemnification
for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent
that Indemnitee is, by reason of his or her Corporate Status, a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any
Proceeding, he or she shall be indemnified to the maximum extent permitted by law, as such may be amended from time to time, against
all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her, or on his or her behalf, 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 indemnify 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. 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 such claim, issue or matter.


 






    2


     


    

 


(d)       Partial
Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion
of Expenses, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof
to which Indemnitee is entitled.


 


2.       Additional
Indemnity. In addition to, and without regard to any limitations on, the indemnification provided for in Section 1 of this
Agreement, the Company shall and hereby does indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee against all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her, or on his or her behalf, if, by reason of his or her Corporate
Status, he or she is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding (including a Proceeding by or in the right
of the Company), including, without limitation, all liability arising out of the negligence or active or passive wrongdoing of Indemnitee.
The only limitation that shall exist upon the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement shall be that the Company shall not
be obligated to make any payment to Indemnitee that is finally determined (under the procedures, and subject to the presumptions, set
forth in Sections 6 and 7 hereof) to be unlawful.


 


3.       Contribution.


 


(a)       Whether
or not the indemnification provided in Sections 1 and 2 hereof is available, in respect of any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding),
the Company shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount of any judgment or settlement of such action, suit or proceeding without
requiring Indemnitee to contribute to such payment and the Company hereby waives and relinquishes any right of contribution it may have
against Indemnitee. The Company shall not enter into any settlement of any action, suit or proceeding in which the Company is jointly
liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding) unless such settlement provides for a full and final
release of all claims asserted against Indemnitee.


 


(b)       Without
diminishing or impairing the obligations of the Company set forth in the preceding subparagraph, if, for any reason, Indemnitee
shall elect or be required to pay all or any portion of any judgment or settlement in any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or
proceeding), the Company shall contribute to the amount of Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred and paid or payable by Indemnitee in proportion to the relative benefits received by the Company and all
officers, directors or employees of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if
joined in such action, suit or proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, from the transaction or events from
which such action, suit or proceeding arose; provided, however, that the proportion determined on the basis of relative benefit may,
to the extent necessary to conform to law, be further adjusted by reference to the relative fault of the Company and all officers,
directors or employees of the Company other than Indemnitee who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such
action, suit or proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, in connection with the transaction or events that
resulted in such expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts, as well as any other equitable considerations which applicable
law may require to be considered. The relative fault of the Company and all officers, directors or employees of the Company, other
than Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), on the one hand,
and Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the degree to which their actions were
motivated by intent to gain personal profit or advantage, the degree to which their liability is primary or secondary and the degree
to which their conduct is active or passive.


 






    3


     


    

 


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


 


(d)       To
the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee
for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether
for judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection with any claim
relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances
of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee as a result of the event(s) and/or
transaction(s) giving cause to such Proceeding; and/or (ii) the relative fault of the Company (and its directors, officers, employees
and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s) and/or transaction(s).


 


4.       Indemnification
for Expenses of a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his
or her Corporate Status, a witness, or is made (or asked) to respond to discovery requests, in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not
a party, he shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith.


 


5.       Advancement
of Expenses. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf
of Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status within thirty (30) days after the receipt
by the Company of a statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or
after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee
and shall include or be preceded or accompanied by a written undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay any Expenses advanced
if it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses. Any advances and undertakings
to repay pursuant to this Section 5 shall be unsecured and interest free.


 


6.      Procedures
and Presumptions for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification. It is the intent of this Agreement to secure for Indemnitee
rights of indemnity that are as favorable as may be permitted under the DGCL and public policy of the State of Delaware. Accordingly,
the parties agree that the following procedures and presumptions shall apply in the event of any question as to whether Indemnitee is
entitled to indemnification under this Agreement:


 


(a)       To
obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including therein or therewith
such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what
extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification,
advise the Board any failure of Indemnitee to provide such a request to the Company, or to provide such a request in a timely fashion,
shall not relieve the Company of any liability that it may have to Indemnitee unless, and to the extent that, such failure actually and
materially prejudices the interests of the Company.


 


(b)       Upon
written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of Section 6(a) hereof, a determination with respect
to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case by one of the following four methods, which shall be at the
election of the Board: (1) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors (as defined in Section 13), even though less than
a quorum, (2) by a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less
than a quorum, (3) if there are no Disinterested Directors or if the Disinterested Directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in
a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Indemnitee, or (4) if so directed by the Board, by the stockholders
of the Company. For purposes hereof, Disinterested Directors are those members of the Board who are not parties to the action, suit or
proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought by Indemnitee.


 






    4


     


    

 


(c)       If
the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel (as defined in Section 13) pursuant
to Section 6(b) hereof, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 6(c). The Independent
Counsel shall be selected by the Board. Indemnitee may, within ten (10) days after such written notice of selection shall have been
given, deliver to the Company 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 13 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 a written objection is made and
substantiated, the Independent Counsel selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or
a court 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 6(a) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected
to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or other court of competent
jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Indemnitee to the Company’s selection of
Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as
the court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act
as Independent Counsel under Section 6(b) hereof. The Company shall pay any and all reasonable fees and expenses of
Independent Counsel incurred by such Independent Counsel in connection with acting pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof, and the
Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the procedures of this Section 6(c), regardless of the manner
in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed.


 


(d)       In
making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such determination
shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have
the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence. Neither the failure of the Company (including by its
directors or independent legal counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement
that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination
by the Company (including by its directors or independent legal 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.


 


(e)       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
(as defined in Section 13), including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of the Enterprise
in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise or on information or records given or reports made
to the Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the
Enterprise. In addition, the knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Enterprise
shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement. Whether or not the foregoing
provisions of this Section 6(e) are satisfied, it shall in any event be presumed that Indemnitee has at all times acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. Anyone seeking to overcome
this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence.


 


(f)       If
the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 6 to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification shall not have made a determination within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor, the
requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such
indemnification absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make
Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of
such indemnification under applicable law; provided, however, that such sixty (60)-day period may be extended for a reasonable time,
not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days, if the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to entitlement
to indemnification in good faith requires such additional time to obtain or evaluate documentation and/or information relating
thereto; and provided, further, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(f) shall not apply if the determination of
entitlement to indemnification is to be made by the stockholders pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement and if (A) within
fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Company of the request for such determination, the Board or the Disinterested Directors, if
appropriate, resolve to submit such determination to the stockholders for their consideration at an annual meeting thereof to be
held within seventy-five (75) days after such receipt and such determination is made thereat, or (B) a special meeting of
stockholders is called within fifteen (15) days after such receipt for the purpose of making such determination, such meeting is
held for such purpose within sixty (60) days after having been so called and such determination is made thereat.


 






    5


     


    

 


(g)       Indemnitee
shall 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 Independent Counsel, member of the Board or stockholder of the Company shall act reasonably and in good faith in making a determination
regarding the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’
fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be
borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby
indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.


 


(h)       The
Company acknowledges that a settlement or other disposition short of final judgment may be successful if it permits a party to avoid expense,
delay, distraction, disruption and uncertainty. In the event that any action, claim or proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party is resolved
in any manner other than by adverse judgment against Indemnitee (including, without limitation, settlement of such action, claim or proceeding
with or without payment of money or other consideration) it shall be presumed that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise
in such action, suit or proceeding. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion
by clear and convincing evidence.


 


(i)       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.


 


7.       Remedies
of Indemnitee.


 


(a)       In
the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 5 of this
Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification is made pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement within
ninety (90) days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made
pursuant to this Agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor or (v) payment of
indemnification is not made within ten (10) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification
or such determination is deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an
adjudication in an appropriate court of the State of Delaware, or in any other court of competent jurisdiction, of
Indemnitee’s entitlement to such indemnification. Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding seeking an adjudication within one
hundred eighty (180) days following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section
7(a). The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication.


 


(b)       In
the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled
to indemnification, any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 7 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo
trial on the merits, and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of the adverse determination under Section 6(b).


 


(c)       If
a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification,
the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 7, absent (i) a
misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s misstatement not
materially misleading in connection with the application for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable
law.


 






    6


     


    

 


(d)       In
the event that Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 7, seeks a judicial adjudication of his or her rights under, or to recover
damages for breach of, this Agreement, or to recover under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained
by the Company, the Company shall pay on his or her behalf, in advance, any and all Expenses, actually and reasonably incurred by him
or her in preparing for and/or pursuing such judicial adjudication, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled
to such indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance recovery.


 


(e)       The
Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 7 that the procedures and
presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court that the Company is bound
by all the provisions of this Agreement. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee,
shall (within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefore) advance, to the extent not prohibited by law,
such expenses to Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action brought by Indemnitee for indemnification
or advance of Expenses from the Company under this Agreement or under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies
maintained by the Company, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advancement
of Expenses or insurance recovery, as the case may be.


 


(f)       Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no determination as to entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement shall be required
to be made prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding.


 


8.       Non-Exclusivity; Survival
of Rights; Insurance; Primacy of Indemnification; Subrogation.


 


(a)       The
rights of indemnification 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 Certificate of Incorporation, the By-laws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders, a resolution
of directors or otherwise, of the Company. 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 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 the DGCL, whether by statute or judicial decision,
permits greater indemnification than would be afforded currently under the Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws and 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.


 


(b)       To
the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, officers, employees,
or agents or fiduciaries of the Company or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise that 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 director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary under
such policy or policies. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company has directors'
and officers' liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers
in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action
to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the
terms of such policies.

(c)       [The
Company hereby acknowledges that Indemnitee has certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided
by [__________] and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the “Fund Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees
(i) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Fund
Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by Indemnitee are
secondary), (ii) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall be liable for the
full amount of all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as
required by the terms of this Agreement and the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company (or any other agreement
between the Company and Indemnitee), without regard to any rights Indemnitee may have against the Fund Indemnitors, and, (iii) that
it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Fund Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Fund Indemnitors for
contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or
payment by the Fund Indemnitors on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee has sought indemnification
from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Fund Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the
extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee against the Company. The Company and Indemnitee
agree that the Fund Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 8(c).]


 


(d)       [Except
as provided in paragraph (c) above,] in the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of
such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee [(other than against the Fund Indemnitors)], 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)       [Except
as provided in paragraph (c) above,] the Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable
hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement
or otherwise.


 


(f)       [Except
as provided in paragraph (c) above,] the Company’s obligation to indemnify or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is or
was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification or
advancement of expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise.


 


9.       Exception
to Right of Indemnification. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement
to make any indemnity in connection with any claim made against Indemnitee:


 


(a)       for
which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, except with

10.      Duration
of Agreement. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period Indemnitee is an
officer or director of the Company (or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) and shall continue thereafter so long as Indemnitee
shall be subject to any Proceeding (or any proceeding commenced under Section 7 hereof) by reason of his or her Corporate
Status, whether or not he or she is acting or serving in any such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for
which indemnification can be provided under this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger,
consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company), assigns, spouses, heirs, executors
and personal and legal representatives.


 


11.      Security.
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 the Indemnitee.


 


12.      Enforcement.


 


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


 


(b)       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.


 


13.      Definitions.
For purposes of this Agreement:


 


(a)       “Corporate
Status” describes the status of a person who is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company or of
any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise that such person is or was serving
at the express written request of the Company.


 


(b)       “Disinterested
Director” means a director of the Company who is not and was not a party to the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification
is sought by Indemnitee.


 


(c)       “Enterprise”
shall mean the Company and any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise that Indemnitee
is or was serving at the express written request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary.


 


(d)       “Expenses”
shall include all reasonable attorneys’ fees, retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel
expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees and all other
disbursements or expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or
defend, investigating, participating, or being or preparing to be a witness in a Proceeding, or responding to, or objecting to, a
request to provide discovery in any Proceeding. Expenses also shall include Expenses incurred in connection with any appeal
resulting from any Proceeding and any federal, state, local or foreign taxes imposed on the Indemnitee as a result of the actual or
deemed receipt of any payments under this Agreement, including without limitation the premium, security for, and other costs
relating to any cost bond, supersede as bond, or other appeal bond or its equivalent. For purposes of Section 7(e) only, Expenses
shall mean Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the interpretation, enforcement or defense of Indemnitee’s
rights under this Agreement, by litigation or otherwise. Expenses, however, shall not include amounts paid in settlement by
Indemnitee or the amount of judgments or fines against Indemnitee.


 






    9


     


    

 


(e)       “Independent
Counsel” means a law firm, or a partner (or, if applicable, member) of such law firm, that is experienced in matters of corporation
law and neither presently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent: (i) the Company or Indemnitee in any matter
material to either such party, or (ii) any other party to the proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional
conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine
Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Counsel referred to above
and to fully indemnify such counsel against any and all Expenses, claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement
or its engagement pursuant hereto.


 


(f)       “Proceeding”
includes any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry,
administrative hearing or any other actual, threatened or completed proceeding, whether brought by or in the right of the Company or otherwise
and whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which Indemnitee was, is or will be involved as a party or otherwise,
by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was an officer or director of the Company, by reason of any action taken by him or her or
of any inaction on his or her part while acting as an officer or director of the Company, or by reason of the fact that he or she is or
was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other Enterprise; in each case whether or not he or she is acting or serving in any such capacity at the time any liability
or expense is incurred for which indemnification can be provided under this Agreement; including one pending on or before the date of
this Agreement, but excluding one initiated by an Indemnitee pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement to enforce his or her rights
under this Agreement.


 


14.       Severability.
The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement is intended to confer upon Indemnitee indemnification rights to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable laws. In the event any provision hereof conflicts with any applicable law, such provision shall be deemed
modified, consistent with the aforementioned intent, to the extent necessary to resolve such conflict.


 


15.        Modification
and Waiver. No supplement, modification, termination or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by
both of 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 hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.


 


16.       Notice
By Indemnitee. Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the Company in writing upon being served with or otherwise receiving any summons,
citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to
indemnification covered hereunder. The failure to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have
to Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise unless and only to the extent that such failure or delay materially prejudices the Company.

Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.


 


20.        Governing
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. The Company and Indemnitee
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agree that any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall
be brought only in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (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, (ii) 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, (iii) waive any objection
to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in the Delaware Court, and (iv) 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.
