 Exhibit 10.22 

FORM OF INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 

This Indemnification Agreement, dated as of [insert date] (this “Agreement”), is made by and between BlackLine, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and [insert name of indemnitee] (“Indemnitee”). 

RECITALS: 
 A.
Indemnitee’s service to the Company substantially benefits the Company. 
 B. Individuals are reluctant to serve as directors or
officers of corporations or in certain other capacities unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance or indemnification against the risks of claims and actions against them arising out of such service. 

C. Indemnitee does not regard the protection currently provided by applicable law, the Company’s governing documents and any insurance as
adequate under the present circumstances, and Indemnitee may not be willing to serve as a director or officer without additional protection. 

C. [Indemnitee has certain rights to indemnification and/or insurance provided by [insert name of fund] and certain affiliates thereof
(collectively, the “Secondary Indemnitors”)] which Indemnitee and the Secondary Indemnitors intend to be secondary to the primary obligation of the Company to indemnify Indemnitee as provided herein.] 

D. Indemnitee’s willingness to serve as a director or officer of the Company is predicated, in substantial part, upon the Company’s
willingness to indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the state of Delaware, and upon the other undertakings set forth in this Agreement. 

E. Therefore, in recognition of the need to provide Indemnitee with substantial protection against personal liability, in order to procure
Indemnitee’s continued service as a director or officer of the Company and to enhance Indemnitee’s ability to serve the Company in an effective manner, and in order to provide such protection pursuant to express contract rights (intended
to be enforceable irrespective of, among other things, any amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws (collectively, the “Constituent Documents”), any change in the composition of the Company’s Board
of Directors (the “Board”) or any change-in-control or business combination transaction relating to the Company), the Company wishes to provide in this Agreement for the indemnification of and the advancement of Expenses (as defined
in Section 1(g)) to Indemnitee as set forth in this Agreement and for the continued coverage of Indemnitee under the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies. 

F. In light of the considerations referred to in the preceding recitals, it is the Company’s intention and desire that the provisions of
this Agreement be construed liberally, subject to their express terms, to maximize the protections to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder. 







 AGREEMENT:

Agreement of any of the following events: 
 (i) the consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation, or sale or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the acquisition of assets of another corporation, or other transaction (each, a “Business Combination”), unless, in each case, immediately following such
Business Combination) all or substantially all of the beneficial owners of voting stock of the Company immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the combined voting power of the then
outstanding shares of voting stock of the entity resulting from such Business Combination, or 
 (ii) approval by the stockholders of
the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

as of the date hereof, are Directors of the Company and any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders, or appointment, was approved by a vote of at least
two-thirds of the then Incumbent Directors (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for director, without objection to such nomination). 

(c) “Subsidiary” means an entity in which the Company directly or indirectly beneficially owns 50% or more of the outstanding
Voting Stock. 
 (d) “Voting Stock” means securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (or similar

 2. Indemnification Obligation. Subject to
Section 7, the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Indemnitee, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware in effect on the date hereof or as such laws may from time to time hereafter be amended to
increase the scope of such permitted indemnification, against any and all Indemnifiable Claims and Indemnifiable Losses; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 5, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification
pursuant to this Agreement (a) in connection with any Claim initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or any director or officer of the Company unless the Company (in an action approved by a majority of the Disinterested Directors who are
also not affiliated with the Indemnitee) has joined in or consented to the initiation of such Claim, (b) if a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such indemnification is prohibited by applicable law, or
(c) for the disgorgement of profits arising from the purchase or sale by Indemnitee of securities of the Company in violation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, or any similar successor statute. 

3. Advancement of Expenses. Indemnitee shall have the right to advancement by the Company prior to the final disposition of any
Indemnifiable Claim of any and all Expenses relating to any Indemnifiable Claim paid or incurred by Indemnitee or reasonably likely to be paid or incurred by Indemnitee within ninety (90) days following the date of the request for
indemnification hereunder. Indemnitee’s right to such advancement is not subject to the satisfaction of any standard of conduct. Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, within five business days after any request by
Indemnitee, the Company shall, in accordance with such request, (a) pay such Expenses on behalf of Indemnitee, (b) advance to Indemnitee funds in an amount sufficient to pay such Expenses, or (c) reimburse Indemnitee for such
Expenses; provided that Indemnitee shall repay, without interest, any 

  
 3 








 
amounts actually advanced to Indemnitee that, at the final disposition of the Indemnifiable Claim to which the advance related, were in excess of amounts paid or payable by Indemnitee in respect
of Expenses relating to from such Indemnifiable Claim. In connection with any such payment, advancement or reimbursement, Indemnitee shall execute and deliver to the Company an undertaking, which need not be secured and shall be accepted without
reference to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the Expenses, by or on behalf of the Indemnitee, to repay any Expenses if it shall have been determined, pursuant to Section 7, that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification
hereunder. 
 4. Indemnification for Additional Expenses. The Company shall also indemnify against and, if requested by Indemnitee,
shall reimburse Indemnitee in accordance with for, or advance to Indemnitee in accordance with Section 3, within five business days of such request, any Expenses paid or incurred by Indemnitee or which Indemnitee is reasonably likely to
pay or incur within ninety (90) days following the date of the request for indemnification hereunder in connection with any Claim by Indemnitee for (a) indemnification or reimbursement or advance payment of Expenses by the Company under
any provision of this Agreement, or under any other agreement or provision of the Constituent Documents now or hereafter in effect relating to Indemnifiable Claims, and/or (b) recovery under any directors’ and officers’ liability
insurance policies maintained by the Company, regardless in each case of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, reimbursement, advance or insurance recovery, as the case may be; provided, however,
that Indemnitee shall return, without interest, any such advance of Expenses (or portion thereof) which remains unspent at the final disposition of the Claim to which the advance related. 

5. Partial Indemnity. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for a portion of
any Indemnifiable Loss but not for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled. 

6. Procedure for Notification. To obtain indemnification under this Agreement in respect of an Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable
Loss, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request therefor, including a brief description (based upon information then available to Indemnitee) of the nature of, and the facts underlying such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss.
If, at the time of the receipt of such request, the Company has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in effect under which coverage for such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss is potentially available, the Company shall give
prompt written notice of such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss to the applicable insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable policies. The Company shall provide to Indemnitee a copy of such notice delivered to the
applicable insurers, and copies of all subsequent correspondence between the Company and such insurers regarding the Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss, in each case substantially concurrently with the delivery or receipt thereof by the
Company. The failure by Indemnitee to timely notify the Company of any Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss shall not relieve the Company from any liability hereunder unless, and only to the extent that, the Company’s ability to
participate in the defense of such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss was materially and adversely affected by such failure. 
 7.
Determination of Right to Indemnification. 
 (a) To the extent that Indemnitee shall have been successful on the merits or otherwise
in defense of any Indemnifiable Claim or any portion thereof or in defense of any issue or matter therein, including without limitation dismissal without prejudice, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Indemnifiable Losses relating to such
Indemnifiable Claim in accordance with Section 2 and no Standard of Conduct Determination (as defined in Section 7(b)) shall be required. 

  
 4 








 (b) To the extent that the provisions of Section 7(a) are inapplicable to an
Indemnifiable Claim that shall have been finally disposed of, any determination of whether Indemnitee has satisfied any applicable standard of conduct under Delaware law that is a legally required condition to indemnification of Indemnitee hereunder
against Indemnifiable Losses relating to such Indemnifiable Claim (a “Standard of Conduct Determination”) shall be made as follows: (i) if no Change of Control shall have occurred, (A) by a majority vote of the
Disinterested Directors, even if less than a quorum of the Board, (B) if there are no such Disinterested Directors, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion addressed to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee; and
(ii) if a Change in Control shall have occurred, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion addressed to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee against and, if
requested by Indemnitee, shall reimburse Indemnitee for, or advance to Indemnitee, within five business days of such request, any and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses) incurred by Indemnitee in
cooperating with the person or persons making such Standard of Conduct Determination. 
 (c) The Company shall use its reasonable best
efforts to cause any Standard of Conduct Determination required under Section 7(b) to be made as promptly as practicable. If the person or persons determined under Section 7 to make the Standard of Conduct Determination shall
not have made a determination within 30 days after the later of (A) receipt by the Company of written notice from Indemnitee advising the Company of the final disposition of the applicable Indemnifiable Claim (the date of such receipt being the
“Notification Date”) and (B) the selection of an Independent Counsel, if such determination is to be made by Independent Counsel, then Indemnitee shall be deemed to have satisfied the applicable standard of conduct; provided
that such 30-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional 30 days, if the person or persons making such determination in good faith requires such additional time to obtain or evaluate information relating thereto.

 (d) If (i) Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 7(a), (ii) no determination of
whether Indemnitee has satisfied any applicable standard of conduct under Delaware law is a legally required condition to indemnification of Indemnitee hereunder against any Indemnifiable Losses, or (iii) Indemnitee has been determined or
deemed pursuant to Section 7(b) or (c) to have satisfied any applicable standard of conduct under Delaware law which is a legally required condition to indemnification of Indemnitee then the Company shall pay to Indemnitee, within
five business days after the later of (x) the Notification Date regarding the Indemnifiable Claim giving rise to the Indemnifiable Losses and (y) the earliest date on which the applicable criterion specified in clause (i), (ii) or
(iii) is satisfied, an amount equal to such Indemnifiable Losses. 
 (e) If a Standard of Conduct Determination is to be made by
Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 7(b)(i), the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board of Directors, and the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising him or her of the identity of the Independent Counsel
so selected. If a Standard of Conduct Determination is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 7(b)(ii), the Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee, and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company
advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. In either case, Indemnitee or the Company, as applicable, may, within five business days after receiving written notice of selection from the other, deliver to the other 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 satisfy the criteria set forth in the definition of “Independent Counsel” in
Section 1(j), and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person or firm so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If such written objection is
properly and timely made and substantiated, (i) the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has 

  
 5 








 determined that such objection is without merit and (ii) the non-objecting party may, at its option, select
an alternative Independent Counsel and give written notice to the other party advising such other party of the identity of the alternative Independent Counsel so selected, in which case the provisions of the two immediately preceding sentences and
clause (i) of this sentence shall apply to such subsequent selection and notice. If applicable, the provisions of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall apply to successive alternative selections. If no Independent Counsel
that is permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(e) to make the Standard of Conduct Determination shall have been selected within 30 days after the Company gives its initial notice pursuant to the first sentence of this
Section 7(e) or Indemnitee gives its initial notice pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 7(e), as the case may be, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware 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 Court or by such other person as
the Court shall designate, and the person or firm with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person or firm so appointed will act as Independent Counsel. In all events, the Company shall pay all of the reasonable fees and expenses of
the Independent Counsel incurred in connection with the Independent Counsel’s determination pursuant to Section 7(b). 

8. Presumption of Entitlement. In making any Standard of Conduct Determination, the person or persons making such determination shall
presume that Indemnitee has satisfied the applicable standard of conduct, and the Company shall have the burden to overcome that presumption. Any Standard of Conduct Determination that is adverse to Indemnitee may be challenged by the Indemnitee in
the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. No determination by the Company (including by its directors or any Independent Counsel) that Indemnitee has not satisfied any applicable standard of conduct shall be a defense to any Claim by
Indemnitee for indemnification or reimbursement or advance payment of Expenses by the Company hereunder or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard of conduct. 

9. No Other Presumption. For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any Claim by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or
without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, will not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any applicable standard of conduct or that indemnification hereunder is otherwise not
permitted. 
 10. Non-Exclusivity. The rights of Indemnitee hereunder will be in addition to any other rights Indemnitee may have
under the Constituent Documents, or the substantive laws of the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation, any other contract or otherwise (collectively, “Other Indemnity Provisions”); provided, however, that
(a) to the extent that Indemnitee otherwise would have any greater right to indemnification under any Other Indemnity Provision, Indemnitee will be deemed to have such greater right hereunder and (b) to the extent that any change is made
to any Other Indemnity Provision which permits any greater right to indemnification than that provided under this Agreement as of the date hereof, Indemnitee will be deemed to have such greater right hereunder. The Company will not adopt any
amendment to any of the Constituent Documents the effect of which would be to deny, diminish or encumber Indemnitee’s right to indemnification under this Agreement or any Other Indemnity Provision. [Without limitation of the foregoing, the
Company hereby acknowledges that Indemnitee has certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by the Secondary Indemnitors. The Company hereby agrees that it (i) is, relative to the Secondary Indemnitors,
the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to Indemnitee under this Agreement are primary and any duplicative, overlapping or corresponding obligations of the Secondary Indemnitors are secondary), (ii) shall be required to make all
advances and other payments under this Agreement, and shall be fully liable therefor, without regard to any rights Indemnitee may have against the Secondary Indemnitors, and (iii) irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Secondary
Indemnitors from any and all claims against 

  
 6 








 the Secondary Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof,
except to the extent that such waiver and release would contravene the provisions of any applicable insurance policy. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Secondary 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 Secondary 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 Secondary Indemnitors is an express third party beneficiary of the terms of this Section 10.]  

11. Liability Insurance and Funding. For the duration of Indemnitee’s service as a director and/or officer of the Company, and
thereafter for so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any pending Indemnifiable Claim, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts (taking into account the scope and amount of coverage available relative to the cost thereof) to cause to be
maintained in effect policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing coverage for directors and/or officers of the Company that is at least substantially comparable in scope and amount to that provided by the
Company’s current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. Upon request, the Company shall provide Indemnitee with a copy of all directors’ and officers’ liability insurance applications, binders, policies,
declarations, endorsements and other related materials. Without limiting the generality or effect of the two immediately preceding sentences, the Company shall not discontinue or significantly reduce the scope or amount of coverage from one policy
period to the next (i) without the prior approval thereof by a majority vote of the Incumbent Directors, even if less than a quorum, or (ii) if at the time that any such discontinuation or significant reduction in the scope or amount of
coverage is proposed there are no Incumbent Directors, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in all policies of directors’ and
officers’ liability insurance obtained or maintained by the Company, Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits, subject to the same limitations, as are accorded to the
Company’s directors and officers most favorably insured by such policy. The Company may, but shall not be required to, create a trust fund, grant a security interest or use other means, including without limitation a letter of credit, to ensure
the payment of such amounts as may be necessary to satisfy its obligations to indemnify and advance expenses pursuant to this Agreement. 

12. Subrogation. [Except as provided in Section 10, i][I]n the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be
subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the related rights of recovery of Indemnitee against other persons or entities (other than Indemnitee’s successors), including any entity or enterprise referred to in clause (i) of the
definition of “Indemnifiable Claim” in Section 1(h). Indemnitee shall execute all papers reasonably required to evidence such rights (all of Indemnitee’s reasonable Expenses, including attorneys’ fees and charges,
related thereto to be reimbursed by or, at the option of Indemnitee, advanced by the Company). 
 13. No Duplication of Payments.
[Except as provided in Section 10, t][T]he Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment to Indemnitee in respect of any Indemnifiable Losses to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment (net of
Expenses incurred in connection therewith) under any insurance policy, the Constituent Documents and Other Indemnity Provisions or otherwise. 

14. Defense of Claims. The Company shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Indemnifiable Claim or to assume the defense
thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee; provided that if Indemnitee reasonably determines, after consultation with counsel selected by Indemnitee, that (a) the use of counsel chosen by the Company to represent
Indemnitee would present such counsel with an actual conflict, or (b) any such representation by such counsel would be precluded 

  
 7 








 under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, or (c) if the Company approves, then
Indemnitee shall be entitled to retain separate counsel (but not more than one law firm plus, if applicable, local counsel in respect of any particular Indemnifiable Claim) at the Company’s expense. The Company shall not be liable to Indemnitee
under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any threatened or pending Indemnifiable Claim effected without the Company’s prior written consent. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, effect
any settlement of any threatened or pending Indemnifiable Claim which the Indemnitee is a party unless such settlement solely involves the payment of money and includes a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnitee from all liability on any
claims that are the subject matter of such Indemnifiable Claim. Neither the Company nor Indemnitee shall unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed settlement; provided that Indemnitee may withhold consent to any settlement that does
not provide a complete and unconditional release of Indemnitee. 
 15. Successors and Binding Agreement. 

(a) The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise) to
all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee and his or her counsel, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same
extent the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and any successor to the Company, including without limitation any person acquiring
directly or indirectly all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise (and such successor will thereafter be deemed the “Company” for
purposes of this Agreement), but shall not otherwise be assignable or delegatable by the Company. 
 (b) This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be enforceable by the Indemnitee’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, legatees and other successors. 

(c) This Agreement is personal in nature and neither of the parties hereto shall, without the consent of the other, assign or delegate this
Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in Sections 15(a) and 15(b). Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, Indemnitee’s right to receive payments hereunder shall not be
assignable, whether by pledge, creation of a security interest or otherwise, other than by a transfer by the Indemnitee’s will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and, in the event of any attempted assignment or transfer contrary to
this Section 15(c), the Company shall have no liability to pay any amount so attempted to be assigned or transferred. 
 16.
Notices. For all purposes of this Agreement, all communications, including without limitation notices, consents, requests or approvals, required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given
when hand delivered or dispatched by electronic facsimile transmission (with receipt thereof confirmed), or five business days after having been mailed by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid or one
business day after having been sent for next-day delivery by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Company (to the attention of the Secretary of the Company) and to Indemnitee at the addresses shown on the signature
page hereto, or to such other address as any party may have furnished to the other in writing and in accordance herewith, except that notices of changes of address will be effective only upon receipt.

 17. Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws of such State. The Company and Indemnitee each hereby irrevocably consent to
the jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware for all purposes in connection with any action or proceeding which arises out of or relates to this Agreement and agree that any action instituted under this Agreement shall be brought
only in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware. 
 18. Validity. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any
provision hereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to any other person or circumstance shall not be affected, and the provision so
held to be invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal shall be reformed to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to make it enforceable, valid or legal. In the event that any court or other adjudicative body shall decline to reform any
provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence, the parties thereto shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to replace the provision so
held to be invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal with one or more alternative provisions that effectuate the purpose and intent of the original provisions of this Agreement as fully as possible without being invalid, unenforceable or otherwise
illegal. 
 19. Miscellaneous. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified or discharged unless such waiver, modification
or discharge is agreed to in writing signed by Indemnitee and the Company. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto or compliance with any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such
other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, expressed or implied with respect to the subject matter
hereof have been made by either party that are not set forth expressly in this Agreement. References to Sections are to references to Sections of this Agreement. 

20. Legal Fees and Expenses. It is the intent of the Company that Indemnitee not be required to incur legal fees and or other Expenses
associated with the interpretation, enforcement or defense of Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement by litigation or otherwise because the cost and expense thereof would substantially detract from the benefits intended to be extended to
Indemnitee hereunder. Accordingly, without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, if it should appear to Indemnitee that the Company has failed to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement or in the event that
the Company or any other person takes or threatens to take any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any litigation or other action or proceeding designed to deny, or to recover from, Indemnitee the benefits provided
or intended to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder, the Company irrevocably authorizes the Indemnitee from time to time to retain counsel of Indemnitee’s choice, at the expense of the Company as hereafter provided, to advise and represent
Indemnitee in connection with any such interpretation, enforcement or defense, including without limitation the initiation or defense of any litigation or other legal action, whether by or against the Company or any director, officer, stockholder or
other person affiliated with the Company, in any jurisdiction. Without respect to whether Indemnitee prevails, in whole or in part, in connection with any of the foregoing, the Company will pay and be solely financially responsible for any and all
attorneys’ and related fees and expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any of the foregoing.

 21. Certain Interpretive Matters. No provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in
favor of, or against, either of the parties hereto by reason of the extent to which any such party or its counsel participated in the drafting thereof or by reason of the extent to which any such provision is inconsistent with any prior draft hereof
or thereof. 
 22. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an
original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
