Indemnification Agreement dated as of March 20, 2015 (together, the “Existing Agreements”); and


 


WHEREAS, the parties to this Agreement desire
that all of their rights and obligations to one another under the Existing Agreements be superseded and replaced with the rights
and obligations provided herein; and


 


WHEREAS, the parties by this Agreement desire
to set forth their agreement regarding indemnification and advance of expenses;


 


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the

Section 1. Definitions. For purposes
of this Agreement:


 


(a) “Change in Control” means
a change in control of the Company occurring after the Effective Date of a nature that would be required to be reported in response
to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A (or in response to any similar item on any similar schedule or form) promulgated
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), whether or not the Company is then subject
to such reporting requirement; provided, however, that, without limitation, such a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred
if, after the Effective Date (i) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange
Act) is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly,
of securities of the Company representing 15% or more of the combined voting power of all of the Company’s then-outstanding
securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors without the prior approval of at least two-thirds of the members
of the Board of Directors in office immediately prior to such person’s attaining such percentage interest; (ii) the
Company is a party to a merger, consolidation, sale of assets, plan of liquidation or other reorganization not approved by at least

in office immediately prior to such transaction or event constitute less than a majority of the Board of Directors thereafter;
or (iii) at any time, a majority of the members of the Board of Directors are not individuals (A) who were directors as of
the Effective Date or (B) whose election by the Board of Directors or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders
was approved by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then in office who were directors as of the Effective
Date or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved.


  




    	 



     

    

  


(b) “Corporate Status” means the
status of a person as a present or former director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or as a director, trustee, officer,
partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, limited
liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise that such person is or was serving in such capacity
at the request of the Company. As a clarification and without limiting the circumstances in which Indemnitee may be serving at
the request of the Company, service by Indemnitee shall be deemed to be at the request of the Company: (i) if Indemnitee serves
or served as a director, trustee, officer, partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any corporation,
partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (1) of which a majority
of the voting power or equity interest is owned directly or indirectly by the Company or (2) the management of which is controlled
directly or indirectly by the Company and (ii) if, as a result of Indemnitee’s service to the Company or any of its affiliated
entities, Indemnitee is subject to duties by, or required to perform services for, an employee benefit plan or its participants
or beneficiaries, including as deemed fiduciary thereof.


 


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

with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating, being or preparing to be a witness in or otherwise
participating in a Proceeding. Expenses shall also include Expenses incurred in connection with any appeal resulting from any Proceeding
including, without limitation, the premium for, security for and other costs relating to any cost bond supersedeas bond or other
appeal bond or its equivalent.

a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that is experienced in matters of corporation law and neither 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 (other than with
respect to matters concerning Indemnitee under this Agreement or of other indemnitees under similar indemnification agreements),
or (ii) any other party to or participant or witness in the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification or advance
of Expenses 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.


 


(g) “Proceeding” means any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative

Section 2. Services by Indemnitee.
Indemnitee will serve as a director, officer or service provider of the Company. However, this Agreement shall not impose any independent
obligation on Indemnitee or the Company to continue Indemnitee’s service to the Company. This Agreement shall not be deemed
an employment contract between the Company (or any other entity) and Indemnitee.


 


Section 3. Existing Agreement Superseded.
The parties hereto agree that all of their rights and obligations under the Existing Agreement are hereby replaced and superseded
by the rights and obligations provided hereunder.


 


Section 4. General. The Company shall
indemnify, and advance Expenses to, Indemnitee (a) as provided in this Agreement and (b) otherwise to the maximum extent permitted
by Maryland law in effect on the Effective Date and as amended from time to time; provided, however, that no change in Maryland
law shall have the effect of reducing the benefits available to Indemnitee hereunder based on Maryland law as in effect on the
Effective Date. The rights of Indemnitee provided in this Section 4 shall include, without limitation, the rights set forth in
the other sections of this Agreement, including any additional indemnification permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law
(the “MGCL”), including, without limitation, Section 2-418(g) of the MGCL.


 




    	 



     

    

  


Section 5. Standard for Indemnification.

Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement and all Expenses actually
and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with any such Proceeding unless it is established
by clear and convincing evidence that (a) the act or omission of Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the
Proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (b) Indemnitee
actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (c) in the case of any criminal Proceeding,
Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.


 


Section 6. Certain Limits on Indemnification.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (other than Section 7), Indemnitee shall not be entitled to:


 


(a) indemnification hereunder if the Proceeding
was one by or in the right of the Company and Indemnitee is adjudged, in a final adjudication of the Proceeding not subject to
further appeal, to be liable to the Company;


 


(b) indemnification hereunder if Indemnitee
is adjudged, in a final adjudication of the Proceeding not subject to further appeal, to be liable on the basis that personal benefit
was improperly received in any Proceeding charging improper personal benefit to Indemnitee, whether or not involving action in
the Indemnitee’s Corporate Status; or


 


(c) indemnification or advance of Expenses
hereunder if the Proceeding was brought by Indemnitee, unless: (i) the Proceeding was brought to enforce indemnification under
this Agreement, and then only to the extent in accordance with and as authorized by Section 13 of this Agreement, or (ii) the Company’s
charter or Bylaws, a resolution of the stockholders entitled to vote generally in the election of directors or of the Board of
Directors or an agreement approved by the Board of Directors to which the Company is a party expressly provide otherwise.


 


Section 7. Court-Ordered Indemnification.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, a court of appropriate jurisdiction, upon application of Indemnitee and
such notice as the court shall require, may order indemnification of Indemnitee by the Company in the following circumstances:


 


(a) if such court determines that Indemnitee
is entitled to reimbursement under Section 2-418(d)(1) of the MGCL, the court shall order indemnification, in which case Indemnitee
shall be entitled to recover the Expenses of securing such reimbursement; or


 


(b) if such court determines that Indemnitee
is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not Indemnitee (i) has
met the standards of conduct set forth in Section 2-418(b) of the MGCL or (ii) has been adjudged liable for receipt of an
improper personal benefit under Section 2-418(c) of the MGCL, the court may order such indemnification contemplated by Section 2-418(d)(2)(ii)
of the MGCL.


 


Section 8. Indemnification for Expenses
of an Indemnitee Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and without limiting
any such provision, to the extent that Indemnitee was or is, by reason of his or her Corporate Status, made a party to (or otherwise
becomes a participant in) any Proceeding and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of such Proceeding, Indemnitee
shall be indemnified for all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s 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 under this Section
8 for all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with each such
claim, issue or matter, allocated on a reasonable and proportionate basis. For purposes of this Section 8, 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.


 




    	 



     

    

  


Section 9. Advance of Expenses for an
Indemnitee. If, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be, made a party to any
Proceeding, the Company shall, without requiring a preliminary determination of Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification
hereunder, advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding. The Company shall make
such advance within ten days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements requesting such advance from time to
time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding and may be in the form of, in the reasonable discretion of
the Indemnitee (but without duplication) (a) payment of such Expenses directly to third parties on behalf of Indemnitee, (b) advance
of funds to Indemnitee in an amount sufficient to pay such Expenses or (c) reimbursement to Indemnitee for Indemnitee’s payment
of such Expenses. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall include
or be preceded or accompanied by a written affirmation by Indemnitee and a written undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee, in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or in such form as may be required under applicable law as in effect at the
time of the execution thereof. To the extent that Expenses advanced to Indemnitee do not relate to a specific claim, issue or matter
in the Proceeding, such Expenses shall be allocated on a reasonable and proportionate basis. The undertaking required by this Section
9 shall be an unlimited general obligation by or on behalf of Indemnitee and shall be accepted without reference to Indemnitee’s
financial ability to repay such advanced Expenses and without any requirement to post security therefor.


 


Section 10. Indemnification and Advance
of Expenses as a Witness or Other Participant. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee
is or may be, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, made a witness or otherwise asked to participate in any Proceeding,
whether instituted by the Company or any other person, and to which Indemnitee is not a party, Indemnitee shall be advanced and
indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith
within ten days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements requesting any such advance or indemnification 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. In connection with any such advance of Expenses, the Company may require Indemnitee to provide
an undertaking and affirmation substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.


 


Section 11. Procedure for Determination
of Entitlement to Indemnification.


 


(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 or appropriate to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee
is entitled to indemnification. Indemnitee may submit one or more such requests from time to time and at such time(s) as Indemnitee
deems appropriate in Indemnitee’s sole discretion. The officer of the Company receiving any such request from Indemnitee
shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board of Directors in writing that Indemnitee has
requested indemnification.


 


(b) Upon written request by Indemnitee for
indemnification pursuant to Section 11(a) above, a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee’s
entitlement thereto shall promptly be made in the specific case: (i) if a Change in Control shall have occurred, by Independent
Counsel, in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee, which Independent Counsel
shall be selected by Indemnitee and approved by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 2-418(e)(2)(ii) of the MGCL,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; or (ii) if a Change in Control shall not have occurred, (A) by the Board
of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors or, if such a quorum cannot be obtained, then
by a majority vote of a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors consisting solely of one or more Disinterested Directors,
(B) if Independent Counsel has been selected by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 2-418(e)(2)(ii) of the MGCL and
approved by Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, by Independent Counsel, in a written opinion
to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee or (C) if so directed by the Board of Directors, by
the stockholders of the Company, other than directors or officers who are parties to the Proceeding. If it is so determined that
Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall make payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ten days after such
determination. 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 or appropriate to such determination in the discretion of the Board of Directors or Independent Counsel if
retained pursuant to clause (ii)(B) of this Section 11(b). Any 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 shall indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.


 




    	 



     

    

  


(c) The Company shall pay the reasonable fees
and expenses of Independent Counsel, if one is appointed.


 


Section 12. Presumptions and Effect of
Certain Proceedings.


 


(a) In making any 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 if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with
Section 11(a) of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of overcoming that presumption in connection with the
making of any determination contrary to that presumption.


 


(b) The termination of any Proceeding or of
any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, upon a plea of nolo contendere
or its equivalent, or entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, does not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet
the requisite standard of conduct described herein for indemnification.


 


(c) The knowledge and/or actions, or failure
to act, of any other director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any other director, trustee, officer, partner, manager,
managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, limited liability company,
joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining
any other right to indemnification under this Agreement.


 


Section 13. Remedies of Indemnitee.


 


(a) If (i) a determination is made pursuant
to Section 11(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advance of
Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Sections 9 or 10 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification
shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(b) of this Agreement within 60 days after receipt by the Company of the request for
indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Sections 8 or 10 of this Agreement within ten days
after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, or (v) payment of indemnification pursuant to any other section
of this Agreement or the charter or Bylaws of the Company is not made within ten days after a determination has been made that
Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication in an appropriate court located in the
State of Maryland, or in any other court of competent jurisdiction, of Indemnitee’s entitlement to such indemnification or
advance of Expenses. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at Indemnitee’s option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted
by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Indemnitee shall commence
a proceeding seeking an adjudication or an award in arbitration within 180 days following the date on which Indemnitee first has
the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 13(a); provided, however, that the foregoing clause shall not
apply to a proceeding brought by Indemnitee to enforce his or her rights under Section 8 of this Agreement. Except as set forth
herein, the provisions of Maryland law (without regard to its conflicts 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.


 


(b) In any judicial proceeding or arbitration
commenced pursuant to this Section 13, Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification or advance of Expenses,
as the case may be, under this Agreement and the Company shall have the burden of proving that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification
or advance of Expenses, as the case may be. If Indemnitee commences a judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to this Section 13,
Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any advances pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement 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). The Company shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, be precluded from asserting in any judicial
proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13 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 of the provisions of this Agreement.


 




    	 



     

    

  


(c) If a determination shall have been made
pursuant to Section 11(b) 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 13, absent 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 that was not disclosed in connection with the determination.


 


(d) In the event that Indemnitee is successful
in seeking, pursuant to this Section 13, a judicial adjudication of or an award in arbitration to enforce Indemnitee’s rights
under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the Company, and shall
be indemnified by the Company for, any and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in such judicial adjudication
or arbitration. If it shall be determined in such judicial adjudication or arbitration that Indemnitee is entitled to receive part
but not all of the indemnification or advance of Expenses sought, the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such judicial
adjudication or arbitration shall be appropriately prorated.


 


(e) Interest shall be paid by the Company
to Indemnitee at the maximum rate allowed to be charged for judgments under the Courts and Judicial Proceedings Article of the
Annotated Code of Maryland for amounts which the Company pays or is obligated to pay for the period (i) commencing with either
the tenth day after the date on which the Company was requested to advance Expenses in accordance with Sections 9 or 10 of this
Agreement or the 60th day after the date on which the Company was requested to make the determination of entitlement
to indemnification under Section 11(b) of this Agreement, as applicable, and (ii) and ending on the date such payment is made to
Indemnitee by the Company.


 


Section 14. Defense of the Underlying
Proceeding.


 


(a) Indemnitee shall notify the Company promptly
in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, request or other document relating to
any Proceeding which may result in the right to indemnification or the advance of Expenses hereunder and shall include with such
notice a description of the nature of the Proceeding and a summary of the facts underlying the Proceeding. The failure to give
any such notice shall not disqualify Indemnitee from the right, or otherwise affect in any manner any right of Indemnitee, to indemnification
or the advance of Expenses under this Agreement unless the Company’s ability to defend in such Proceeding or to obtain proceeds
under any insurance policy is materially and adversely prejudiced thereby, and then only to the extent the Company is thereby actually
so prejudiced.


 


(b) Subject to the provisions of the last
sentence of this Section 14(b) and of Section 14(c) below, the Company shall have the right to defend Indemnitee in any
Proceeding which may give rise to indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that the Company shall notify Indemnitee of any
such decision to defend within 15 calendar days following receipt of notice of any such Proceeding under Section 14(a) above.
The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, consent
to the entry of any judgment against Indemnitee or enter into any settlement or compromise which (i) includes an admission
of fault of Indemnitee, (ii) does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the full release of Indemnitee from all liability
in respect of such Proceeding, which release shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee, or (iii) would
impose any Expense, judgment, fine, penalty or limitation on Indemnitee. This Section 14(b) shall not apply to a Proceeding
brought by Indemnitee under Section 13 of this Agreement.


 


(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
14(b) above, if in a Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, (i) Indemnitee
reasonably concludes, based upon an opinion of counsel approved by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed, that Indemnitee may have separate defenses or counterclaims to assert with respect to any issue which may not be consistent
with other defendants in such Proceeding, (ii) Indemnitee reasonably concludes, based upon an opinion of counsel approved
by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, that an actual or apparent conflict of interest or
potential conflict of interest exists between Indemnitee and the Company, or (iii) if the Company fails to assume the defense
of such Proceeding in a timely manner, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be represented by separate legal counsel of Indemnitee’s
choice, subject to the prior approval of the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, at the expense
of the Company. In addition, if the Company fails to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement or in the event that
the Company or any other person takes any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any Proceeding
to deny or to recover from Indemnitee the benefits intended to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder, Indemnitee shall have the right
to retain counsel of Indemnitee’s choice, subject to the prior approval of the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, at the expense of the Company (subject to Section 13(d) of this Agreement), to represent Indemnitee in
connection with any such matter.


 




    	 



     

    

  


Section 15. Non-Exclusivity; Survival
of Rights; Subrogation.


 


(a) The rights of indemnification and advance
of Expenses 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 or Bylaws of the Company, any agreement or a resolution of the stockholders entitled
to vote generally in the election of directors or of the Board of Directors, or otherwise. Unless consented to in writing by Indemnitee,
no amendment, alteration or repeal of the charter or Bylaws of the Company, 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, regardless of whether a claim with respect to such action or
inaction is raised prior or subsequent to such amendment, alteration or repeal. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended
to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right or remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other
right or remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prohibit the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.


 


(b) 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, 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.


 


Section 16. Insurance. (a) The Company
will use its reasonable best efforts to acquire directors and officers liability insurance, on terms and conditions deemed appropriate
by the Board of Directors, with the advice of counsel, covering Indemnitee or any claim made against Indemnitee by reason of Indemnitee’s
Corporate Status and covering the Company for any indemnification or advance of Expenses made by the Company to Indemnitee for
any claims made against Indemnitee by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status. In the event of a Change in Control, the Company
shall maintain in force any and all directors and officers liability insurance policies that were maintained by the Company immediately
prior to the Change in Control for a period of six years with the insurance carrier or carriers and through the insurance broker
in place at the time of the Change in Control; provided, however, (i) if the carriers will not offer the same policy and an expiring
policy needs to be replaced, a policy substantially comparable in scope and amount shall be obtained and (ii) if any replacement
insurance carrier is necessary to obtain a policy substantially comparable in scope and amount, such insurance carrier shall have
an AM Best rating that is the same or better than the AM Best rating of the existing insurance carrier; provided, further, however,
in no event shall the Company be required to expend in the aggregate in excess of 250% of the annual premium or premiums paid by
the Company for directors and officers liability insurance in effect on the date of the Change in Control. In the event that 250%
of the annual premium paid by the Company for such existing directors and officers liability insurance is insufficient for such
coverage, the Company shall spend up to that amount to purchase such lesser coverage as may be obtained with such amount.


 


(b)Without in any way limiting any other
obligation under this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee for any payment by Indemnitee which would otherwise be
indemnifiable hereunder arising out of the amount of any deductible or retention and the amount of any excess of the aggregate
of all judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding over the coverage
of any insurance referred to in Section 16(a). The purchase, establishment and maintenance of any such insurance shall not in any
way limit or affect the rights or obligations of the Company or Indemnitee under this Agreement except as expressly provided herein,
and the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the Indemnitee shall not in any way limit or affect the rights
or obligations of the Company under any such insurance policies. If, at the time the Company receives notice from any source of
a Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party or a participant (as a witness 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.


 




    	 



     

    

  


(c)The Indemnitee shall cooperate with
the Company or any insurance carrier of the Company with respect to any Proceeding.


 


Section 17. Coordination of Payments.
The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable or payable or reimbursable
as Expenses hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy,
contract, agreement or otherwise.


 


Section 18. Contribution. If the
indemnification provided in this Agreement is unavailable in whole or in part and may not be paid to Indemnitee for any reason,
other than for failure to satisfy the standard of conduct set forth in Section 5 or due to the provisions of Section 6, then, in
respect to any Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), to
the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying and holding harmless Indemnitee, shall
pay, in the first instance, the entire amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for Expenses, judgments, penalties, and/or amounts
paid or to be paid in settlement, 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.


 


Section 19. Reports to Stockholders.
To the extent required by the MGCL, the Company shall report in writing to its stockholders the payment of any amounts for indemnification
of, or advance of Expenses to, Indemnitee under this Agreement arising out of a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company with
the notice of the meeting of stockholders of the Company next following the date of the payment of any such indemnification or
advance of Expenses or prior to such meeting.


 


Section 20. Duration of Agreement; Binding
Effect.


 


(a) This Agreement shall continue until and
terminate on the later of (i) the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director, officer, employee or agent of
the Company or as a director, trustee, officer, partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other foreign
or domestic corporation, real estate investment trust, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit
plan or other enterprise that such person is or was serving in such capacity at the request of the Company and (ii) the date that
Indemnitee is no longer subject to any actual or possible Proceeding (including any rights of appeal thereto and any Proceeding
commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 13 of this Agreement).


 


(b) The indemnification and advance of Expenses
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 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, trustee, officer, partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any
other foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise that such person is or was serving in such capacity at the request of the Company, and shall inure to the benefit of
Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s spouse, assigns, heirs, devisees, executors and administrators and other legal representatives.


 


(c) 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.


 




    	 



     

    

  


(d) The Company and Indemnitee agree 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
enforce this Agreement by seeking 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. Indemnitee shall further 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 undertakings 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, and the Company hereby waives any such requirement of
such a bond or undertaking.


 


Section 21. Severability. If any
provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, void, illegal or otherwise 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.


 


Section 22. 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. One such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforceability
is sought shall be sufficient to evidence the existence of this Agreement.


 


Section 23. Headings. 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.


 


Section 24. Modification and Waiver.
No supplement, modification 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, unless otherwise expressly stated, shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.


 


Section 25. Notices. All notices,
requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if (i) delivered
by hand and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been directed, on the day of such
delivery, or (ii) mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date on

of laws rules.

EXHIBIT A


 


AFFIRMATION AND UNDERTAKING TO REPAY EXPENSES
ADVANCED


 


To: The Board of Directors of Global Net Lease, Inc.


 


Re: Affirmation and Undertaking


 


Ladies and Gentlemen:


 


This Affirmation and Undertaking is being
provided pursuant to that certain Indemnification Agreement, dated the 2nd day of June, 2015, by and between Global Net Lease,
Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned Indemnitee (the “Indemnification Agreement”),
pursuant to which I am entitled to advance of Expenses in connection with [Description of Proceeding] (the “Proceeding”).


 


Terms used herein and not otherwise defined
shall have the meanings specified in the Indemnification Agreement.


 


I am subject to the Proceeding by reason
of my Corporate Status or by reason of alleged actions or omissions by me in such capacity. I hereby affirm my good faith belief
that at all times, insofar as I was involved as a director of the Company, in any of the facts or events giving rise to the Proceeding,
I (1) did not act with bad faith or active or deliberate dishonesty, (2) did not receive any improper personal benefit
in money, property or services and (3) in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that any
act or omission by me was unlawful.


 


In consideration of the advance by the Company
for Expenses incurred by me in connection with the Proceeding (the “Advanced Expenses”), I hereby agree that if, in
connection with the Proceeding, it is established that (1) an act or omission by me was material to the matter giving rise
to the Proceeding and (a) was committed in bad faith or (b) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty or (2) I
actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (3) in the case of any criminal proceeding,
I had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful, then I shall promptly reimburse the portion of the Advanced
Expenses, relating to the claims, issues or matters in the Proceeding as to which the foregoing findings have been established.


 


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have executed this
Affirmation and Undertaking on this _____ day of _______________, 20____.
