INDEMNITY
AGREEMENT


 


THIS
INDEMNITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of [-], 2021, by and between Athena Technology Acquisition Corp. II, a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and (“Indemnitee”).


 


RECITALS


 


WHEREAS,
highly competent persons have become more reluctant to serve publicly-held corporations as directors, officers or in other capacities
unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance or adequate indemnification against inordinate risks of claims and
actions against them arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of such corporations;


 


WHEREAS,
the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that, in order to attract and retain qualified
individuals, the Company will attempt to maintain on an ongoing basis, at its sole expense, liability insurance to protect persons serving
the Company and its subsidiaries from certain liabilities;


 


WHEREAS,
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;


 


WHEREAS,
the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) and the Bylaws (the “Bylaws”)
of the Company require indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company. Indemnitee may also be entitled to indemnification
pursuant to applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”). The Charter, Bylaws and
the DGCL expressly provide that the indemnification provisions set forth therein are not exclusive, and thereby contemplate that contracts
may be entered into between the Company and members of the Board, officers and other persons with respect to indemnification, hold harmless,
exoneration, advancement and reimbursement rights;


 


WHEREAS,
the uncertainties relating to such insurance and to indemnification have increased the difficulty of attracting and retaining such persons;


 


WHEREAS,
the Board has determined that the increased difficulty in attracting and retaining such persons is detrimental to the best interests
of the Company’s stockholders and that the Company should act to assure such persons that there will be increased certainty of
such protection in the future;


 


WHEREAS,
it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, hold harmless, exonerate and to
advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to
serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so protected against liabilities;


 


WHEREAS,
this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Charter and Bylaws and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, and shall
not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder; and


 


WHEREAS,
Indemnitee may not be willing to serve as an officer or director, advisor or in another capacity without adequate protection, and the
Company desires Indemnitee to serve in such capacity. Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve and to take on additional service
for or on behalf of the Company on the condition that Indemnitee be so indemnified;


 






     


     


    




 


NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and

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, advisor, key employee or in any other capacity of the Company, in each case as
provided in Section 17. This Agreement, however, shall not impose any obligation on Indemnitee or the Company to continue Indemnitee’s

3. INDEMNITY
IN THIRD-PARTY PROCEEDINGS. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate
Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 if Indemnitee was, is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant
(as a witness, deponent or otherwise) in any Proceeding, other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment
in its favor by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status. Pursuant to this Section 3, Indemnitee shall be indemnified, held harmless
and exonerated against all Expenses, judgments, liabilities, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest,
assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, 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

held harmless and exonerated against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection

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
to be liable to the Company, unless and only to the extent that any court in which the Proceeding was brought or the Delaware Court shall
determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification, to be held harmless or to exoneration.

5. INDEMNIFICATION
FOR EXPENSES OF A PARTY WHO IS WHOLLY OR PARTLY SUCCESSFUL. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement except for Section
27, to the extent that Indemnitee was or is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a party to (or a participant in) and is
successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, in whole or in part, the
Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee against all Expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but
is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company
shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee against all Expenses actually
and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter.
If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding, the Company also shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee against all Expenses reasonably incurred in connection with a claim, issue or matter
related to any claim, issue, or matter on which Indemnitee was successful. For purposes of this Section and without limitation, the termination
of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result
as to such claim, issue or matter.


 


6. INDEMNIFICATION
FOR EXPENSES OF A WITNESS. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement except for Section 27, to the extent that Indemnitee
is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a witness or deponent in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee was 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.


 


7. ADDITIONAL
INDEMNIFICATION, HOLD HARMLESS AND EXONERATION RIGHTS. Notwithstanding any limitation in Sections 3, 4, or 5 and except for Section
27, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee if Indemnitee
is a party to or threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding (including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure
a judgment in its favor) against all Expenses, judgments, 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 in connection with the Proceeding. No indemnification,
hold harmless or exoneration rights shall be available under this Section 7 on account of Indemnitee’s conduct which constitutes
a breach of Indemnitee’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders or is an act or omission not in good faith or which
involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law.


 


8. CONTRIBUTION
IN THE EVENT OF JOINT LIABILITY.


 


(a) To
the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification, hold harmless and/or exoneration rights provided for in
this Agreement are unavailable to Indemnitee in whole or in part for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying, holding
harmless or exonerating Indemnitee, shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for judgments,
liabilities, fines, penalties, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection with any Proceeding without
requiring Indemnitee to contribute to such payment, and the Company hereby waives and relinquishes any right of contribution it may have
at any time against Indemnitee.


 


(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, the Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnification,
advance expenses, hold harmless or exoneration payment in connection with any claim made against Indemnitee:


 


(a) for
which payment has actually been received by or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity or advancement provision,
except with respect to any excess beyond the amount actually received under any insurance policy, contract, agreement, other indemnity
or advancement provision or otherwise;


 


(b) for
an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the
meaning of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act (or 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, 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. To the fullest extent required by applicable law, such payments of Expenses in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding
shall be made only upon the Company’s receipt of an undertaking, by or on behalf of Indemnitee, to repay the advanced amounts to
the extent that it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, held harmless or exonerated by the Company
under the provisions of this Agreement, the Charter, the Bylaws, applicable law or otherwise. This Section 10(a) shall not apply to any
claim made by Indemnitee for which an indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration payment is excluded pursuant to Section 9.


 


(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 notify promptly the Company in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information
or other document relating to any Proceeding, claim, issue or matter therein which may be subject to indemnification, hold harmless or
exoneration rights, or advancement of Expenses covered hereunder. The failure of Indemnitee to so notify the Company shall not relieve
the Company of any obligation which it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement, or otherwise.


 


(b) Indemnitee
may deliver to the Company a written application to indemnify, hold harmless or exonerate Indemnitee in accordance with this Agreement.
Such application(s) may be delivered from time to time and at such time(s) as Indemnitee deems appropriate in his or her sole discretion.
Following such a written application for indemnification by Indemnitee, Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification shall be determined
according to Section 12(a) of this Agreement.

12. PROCEDURE
UPON APPLICATION FOR INDEMNIFICATION.


 


(a) A
determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification shall be made in the
specific case by one of the following methods: (i) if no Change in Control has occurred (x) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors,
even though less than a quorum of the Board, (y) by a committee of Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board,
or (z) if there are no Disinterested Directors, or if such Disinterested Directors so direct, 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 Indemnitee. The Company promptly will advise Indemnitee in writing
with respect to any determination that Indemnitee is or is not entitled to indemnification, including a description of any reason or
basis for which indemnification has been denied. If it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee
shall be made within ten (10) days after such determination. Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the person, persons or entity
making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons
or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure
and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any costs or Expenses incurred by Indemnitee
in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination
as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby agrees to indemnify and to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.


 


(b) In
the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 12(a) hereof,
the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 12(b). The Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee
(unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board), and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising
it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected and certifying that the Independent Counsel so selected meets the requirements
of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement. If the Independent Counsel is selected by the Board,
the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising 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.


 






    7


     


    




 


(b) If
the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 12 of this Agreement to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification shall not have made a determination within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor, the
requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be deemed to have been made
and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission
of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification,
or (ii) a final judicial determination that any or all such indemnification is expressly prohibited under applicable law; provided, however,
that such 30-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional fifteen (15) days, if the person, persons
or entity making the determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires such additional time for the
obtaining or evaluating of documentation and/or information relating thereto.


 


(c) The
termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea
of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect
the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which 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, trustees, general partners, managers or managing members 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 of the Enterprise, 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 of the Enterprise, 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 Section 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 and Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration Association. Except as set forth herein, the provisions of Delaware law (without
regard to its conflict of laws rules) shall apply to any such arbitration. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek
any such adjudication or award in arbitration.


 






    8


     


    




 


(b) In
the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 12(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification,
any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 14 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or
arbitration, on the merits and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination.


 


(c) In
any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 14, Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to be indemnified,
held harmless, and 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, and exonerated and to receive advancement of Expenses, as the case may be,
and the Company may not refer to or introduce into evidence any determination pursuant to Section 12(a) of this Agreement adverse to
Indemnitee for any purpose. If Indemnitee commences a judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to this Section 14, Indemnitee shall
not be required to reimburse the Company for any advances pursuant to Section 10 until a final determination is made with respect to
Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification (as to which all rights of appeal have been exhausted or lapsed).


 


(d) If
a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 12(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the
Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 14, absent
(i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement
not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable
law.


 


(e) The
Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 14 that the procedures
and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator
that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.


 


(f) The
Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law against all Expenses and, if requested by
Indemnitee, shall (within ten (10) days after the Company’s receipt of such written request) pay to Indemnitee, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, such Expenses which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any judicial proceeding or arbitration
brought by Indemnitee: (i) to enforce his or her rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement or any other indemnification,
hold harmless, exoneration, advancement or contribution agreement or provision of the Charter, or the Bylaws now or hereafter in effect;
or (ii) for recovery or advances under any insurance policy maintained by any person for the benefit of Indemnitee, regardless of the
outcome and whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration right, advancement,
contribution or insurance recovery, as the case may be (unless such judicial proceeding or arbitration was not brought by Indemnitee
in good faith).


 


(g) Interest
shall be paid by the Company to Indemnitee at the legal rate under Delaware law for amounts which the Company indemnifies, holds harmless
or exonerates, or advances, or is obliged to indemnify, hold harmless or exonerate or advance for the period commencing with the date
on which Indemnitee requests indemnification, to be held harmless, exonerated, contribution, reimbursement or advancement of any Expenses
and ending with the date on which such payment is made to Indemnitee by the Company.


 


15. SECURITY.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except for Section 27, to the extent requested by Indemnitee and approved by the Board,
the Company may at any time and from time to time provide security to Indemnitee for the Company’s obligations hereunder through
an irrevocable bank line of credit, funded trust or other collateral. Any such security, once provided to Indemnitee, may not be revoked
or released without the prior written consent of Indemnitee.

16. NON-EXCLUSIVITY;
SURVIVAL OF RIGHTS; INSURANCE; SUBROGATION.


 


(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 repeal. To the extent that a change in applicable law, whether by statute or judicial decision,
permits greater indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration rights or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under
the Charter, the Bylaws or this Agreement, 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) 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 the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, officers, trustees,
partners, managers, managing members, fiduciaries, employees, or agents of the Company or of any other Enterprise which such person serves
at the request of the Company, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum
extent of the coverage available for any such director, officer, trustee, partner, managers, managing member, fiduciary, employee or
agent under such policy or policies. If, at the time the Company receives notice from any source of a Proceeding as to which Indemnitee
is a party or a participant (as a witness, 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 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.


 






    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 (including any
rights of appeal thereto and any Proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 14 of this Agreement) 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, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is
relying upon this Agreement in serving as a director, officer or key employee of the Company.


 


(b) Without
limiting any of the rights of Indemnitee under the Charter or Bylaws as they may be amended from time to time, this Agreement constitutes
the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings,
oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.


 


(c) The
indemnification, hold harmless, exoneration and advancement of expenses rights provided by or granted pursuant to this Agreement shall
be binding upon and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (including any direct or indirect
successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company),
shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or a director, officer,
trustee, general partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other Enterprise at the Company’s request,
and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s spouse, assigns, heirs, devisees, executors and administrators and
other legal representatives.


 


(d) The
Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially
all or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee,
expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required
to perform if no such succession had taken place.





 



    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 undertaking in connection therewith. The Company acknowledges that in the absence of
a waiver, a bond or undertaking may be required of Indemnitee by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Company hereby waives any such
requirement of such a bond or undertaking to the fullest extent permitted by law.


 


20. MODIFICATION
AND WAIVER. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the Company
and Indemnitee. 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.

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

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. PERIOD
OF LIMITATIONS. No legal action shall be brought and no cause of action shall be asserted by or in the right of the Company against
Indemnitee, Indemnitee’s spouse, heirs, executors or personal or legal representatives after the expiration of two years from the
date of accrual of such cause of action, and any claim or cause of action of the Company shall be extinguished and deemed released unless
asserted by the timely filing of a legal action within such two-year period; provided, however, that if any shorter period of limitations
is otherwise applicable to any such cause of action such shorter period shall govern.


 


26. ADDITIONAL
ACTS. If for the validation of any of the provisions in this Agreement any act, resolution, approval or other procedure is required
to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company undertakes to cause such act, resolution, approval or other procedure to be affected
or adopted in a manner that will enable the Company to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.


 


27. WAIVER
OF CLAIMS TO TRUST ACCOUNT. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Indemnitee hereby agrees that it does not
have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind (each, a “Claim”) in or to any monies in the trust account
established in connection with the Company’s initial public offering for the benefit of the Company and holders of shares issued
in such offering, and hereby waives any Claim it may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any services provided to the
Company and will not seek recourse against such trust account for any reason whatsoever.


 


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