Exhibit A

In consideration of the agreement of Placement Agent to act on behalf of the Company pursuant to the attached Agreement, the Company
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Placement Agent, its affiliates (within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933), and each of their respective partners, directors, officers, agents, consultants, employees and controlling persons (within the
meaning of the Securities Act of 1933) (Placement Agent and each such other person or entity are hereinafter referred to as an Indemnified Person), from and against any losses, damages, expenses and liabilities (collectively
Liabilities) or actions, investigations, inquiries, arbitrations, claims or other proceedings in respect thereof, including enforcement of this agreement (collectively Actions) (Liabilities and Actions are herein collectively
referred to as Losses), as they may be incurred (including all reasonable legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing, defending, paying, settling or compromising any Losses, whether or not in
connection with any pending or threatened Action, and notwithstanding the absence of a final determination as set forth below as to the Companys obligation to reimburse an Indemnified Person for such Losses and the possibility that such
payments might later be held to have been improper) to which any of them may become subject and which are related to or arise out of any act, omission, transaction or event contemplated by the Agreement. The Company will not, however, be responsible
under the foregoing provisions with respect to any Losses to the extent that it shall have been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the terms of the Agreement that such Losses resulted primarily from actions
taken or omitted to be taken by an Indemnified Person due to its gross negligence or willful misconduct, and in such event the Placement Agent will so indemnify the Company and its affiliates. To the extent that any prior payment has been made by
the Company to such Indemnified Person is so determined to have been improper by reason of such Indemnified Persons gross negligence or willful misconduct, such Indemnified Person shall promptly pay such amount to the Company, together with
interest, at the prime rate announced from time to time by U.S. Bank, N.A.

If the indemnity referred to in this Exhibit A
should be, for any reason whatsoever, unenforceable, unavailable or otherwise insufficient to hold each Indemnified Person harmless, the Company shall pay to or on behalf of each Indemnified Person contributions for Losses so that each Indemnified
Person ultimately bears only a portion of such Losses as is appropriate (i) to reflect the relative benefits received by each such Indemnified Person, respectively, on the one hand and the Company on the other hand in connection with the
transaction or (ii) if the allocation on that basis is not permitted by applicable law, to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of each such Indemnified Person, respectively,
and the Company as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however,that in no event shall the aggregate contribution of all Indemnified Persons to all Losses in connection with any transaction exceed the amount of the
fee actually received by Placement Agent pursuant to the Engagement Letter. The respective relative benefits received by Placement Agent and the Company in connection with any transaction shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the aggregate
fee paid to Placement Agent in connection with the transaction bears to the total consideration of the transaction. The relative fault of each Indemnified Person and the Company shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
actions or omissions to act were by such Indemnified Person or the Company and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action or omission to act.



---

The Company also agrees that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability to the Company
or its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents or shareholders, directly or indirectly, related to or arising out of the Agreement, except Losses incurred by the Company which it shall have been finally determined by arbitration in
accordance with the terms of the Agreement to have resulted primarily from actions taken or omitted to be taken by such Indemnified Person due to its gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event, regardless of the legal theory advanced, shall
any person be liable for any consequential, indirect, incidental or special damages of any nature arising hereunder. The Company agrees that without Placement Agents prior written consent it shall not settle any pending or threatened claim,
action, suit or proceeding related to the Agreement unless the settlement also includes an express unconditional release of all Indemnified Persons from all liability and obligations arising therefrom, or the Company reaffirms its obligations to
indemnify for or contribute to Losses incurred by any unreleased Indemnified Person as herein provided.

Promptly after its
receipt of notice of the commencement of any action, any Indemnified Person will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company hereunder, notify in writing the Company of the commencement thereof; but omission so to notify the
Company will not relieve the Company from any liability hereunder which it may have to any Indemnified Person unless the delay in such notification shall have resulted in such Liabilities. If the Company so elects, the Company may assume the defense
of such Action in a timely manner, including the employment of counsel (reasonably satisfactory to Placement Agent) and payment of expenses, provided the Company provides to Placement Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to Placement Agent that
the Company will have the financial resources to conduct such defense actively and diligently and permits Placement Agent and counsel retained by Placement Agent at its expense to participate in such defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event Placement Agent determines in its sole discretion that it is advisable for the Indemnified Persons to be represented by separate counsel, then Placement Agent may employ on behalf of the Indemnified Persons a single separate counsel to
represent or defend such Indemnified Persons in such action, claim, proceeding or investigation and Placement Agent will pay the fees and disbursements of such separate counsel as incurred.

In the event of any fundamental change involving the corporate structure of the Company, such as by merger, plan of exchange or sale of
all or substantially all of its assets, any executory obligations of the Company in this engagement letter shall, if not assumed by operation of law, be assumed by contract by the acquiring entity or arrangements made to protect the interests of
Placement Agent reasonably satisfactory to Placement Agent.

If multiple claims are brought against Placement Agent in any
Action with respect to at least one of which indemnification is permitted under applicable law and provided for under this agreement, the Company agrees that any judgment, arbitration award or other monetary award shall be conclusively deemed to be
based on claims as to which indemnification is permitted and provided for.

The obligations of the Company referred to above
shall be in addition to any rights that any Indemnified Person may otherwise have
