Exhibit 10.1


 


FORM OF INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT


 


This INDEMNIFICATION
AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered
into as of ____________, 2022 between DRAFTKINGS
INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”),
and ____________ (“Indemnitee”).


 


WITNESSETH THAT:


 


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


 


WHEREAS, the Board
of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that, in order to attract and retain qualified individuals,
the Company will attempt to maintain on an ongoing basis, at its sole expense, liability insurance to protect persons serving the Company
and its subsidiaries from certain liabilities. Although the furnishing of such insurance has been a customary and widespread practice
among United States-based corporations and other business enterprises, the Company believes that, given current market conditions and
trends, such insurance may be available to it in the future only at higher premiums and with more exclusions. At the same time, directors,
officers, and other persons in service to corporations or business enterprises are being increasingly subjected to expensive and time-consuming
litigation relating to, among other things, matters that traditionally would have been brought only against the Company or business enterprise
itself. Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”) and the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation
of the Company (the “Articles”) authorize indemnification of the directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries
and agents of the Company. The Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”) provide that the Company
will indemnify the directors and officers of the Company. The NRS expressly provides that the indemnification provisions set forth therein
are not exclusive, and thereby contemplate that contracts may be entered into between the Company and persons acting on behalf of the
Company with respect to indemnification;


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


WHEREAS, Indemnitee
does not regard the protection available under the NRS, the Bylaws and insurance as adequate in the present circumstances, and may not
be willing to serve as an officer or a director without adequate protection, and the Company desires Indemnitee to serve in such capacity.
Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve and to take on additional service for or on behalf of the Company on the condition that
he or she be so indemnified.


 






     
 


     


    

 


NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of Indemnitee’s agreement to serve as an officer and/or a director from and after the date of this Agreement, and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:


 


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


 


(a) Proceedings Other
Than Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this
Section l(a) if, by reason of his or her Corporate Status (as hereinafter defined), Indemnitee was or is a party, or is threatened
to be made a party, to any Proceeding (as hereinafter defined) other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company. Pursuant to
this Section 1(a), the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses (as hereinafter defined), judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her, or on his or her behalf, in connection with such Proceeding or any
claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee either (i) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or (ii) 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 with respect to any criminal Proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.


 


(b) Proceedings by or
in the Right of the Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section 1(b) if,
by reason of his or her Corporate Status, Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding brought
by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 1(b), the Company shall indemnify
Indemnitee against all Expenses 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 matters therein, if Indemnitee either (i) is not liable pursuant to
NRS 78.138 or (ii) acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the Company; provided, however, if applicable law so provides, no indemnification against such Expenses or other amounts
shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction,
after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the Company or for amounts paid in settlement to the Company, unless and only
to the extent that the court in which the Proceeding was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that in view
of all the circumstances in the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.


 


(c) Termination of Proceeding.
The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall
not, of itself, adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create an inference or presumption either that Indemnitee
is liable pursuant to NRS 78.138, that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that Indemnitee had
reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful. The Company acknowledges that such a resolution, short of final judgment, may
be successful on the merits if it permits a party to avoid expense, delay, distraction, disruption and uncertainty. In the event that
any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party is resolved in any manner other than by adverse judgment against Indemnitee (including,
without limitation, settlement of such Proceeding with or without payment of money or other consideration) it shall be presumed that Indemnitee
has been successful on the merits or otherwise in such Proceeding. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of
proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence.


 


(d) Indemnification for
Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that
Indemnitee is, by reason of his or her Corporate Status, a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding,
the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the maximum extent permitted by law, as such may be amended from time to time, against all Expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by him or her on his or her behalf in connection with the defense of the Proceeding. If Indemnitee is
not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues
or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or
her, or on his or her behalf, in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of this Section and without
limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed
to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.


 






    2


     


    

 


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


 


3. Contribution.


 


(a) Whether or not the indemnification
provided in Section 1 and Section 2 hereof is available, in respect of any Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable
with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), the Company shall pay the entire amount of any judgment or settlement of such
Proceeding without requiring Indemnitee to contribute to such payment and the Company hereby waives and relinquishes any right of contribution
it may have against Indemnitee. The Company shall not enter into any settlement of any 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.


 


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


 


 






    3


     


    




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


 


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


 


(e) The Company hereby acknowledges
that Indemnitee may have rights to indemnification for payment of the judgment or settlement amount provided by another entity (“Other
Indemnitor(s)”). The Company agrees with Indemnitee that the Company is the indemnitor of first resort of Indemnitee with
respect to matters for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement and that the Company will be obligated to make all payments
due to or for the benefit of Indemnitee under this agreement without regard to any rights that Indemnitee may have against the Other Indemnitor(s).
The Company hereby waives any equitable rights to contribution or indemnification from the Other Indemnitor in respect of any amounts
paid to Indemnitee hereunder until such time as the Indemnitee has been fully and finally indemnified. The Company further agrees that
no payment of Expenses or losses by the Other Indemnitor(s) to or for the benefit of Indemnitee shall affect the obligations of the Company
hereunder.


 


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


 


5. Advancement of Expenses.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in
connection with defending any Proceeding within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from Indemnitee
requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement
or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and Indemnitee shall also submit a written undertaking to
repay any Expenses advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that Indemnitee is not entitled
to be indemnified by the Company against such Expenses. Any advances and undertakings to repay pursuant to this Section 5 shall
be unsecured and interest free. In furtherance of the foregoing, Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay such amounts advanced if, and to
the extent that, it shall ultimately be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified
by the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

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


 


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


 


(b) Upon written request
by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of Section 6(a) hereof, a determination with respect to Indemnitee’s
entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case by one of the following three methods, which shall be at the election of the Board
(i) by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors (as defined below), (ii) if a majority vote of a quorum consisting
of Disinterested Directors so orders, or if a quorum of Disinterested Directors cannot be obtained, by Independent Counsel (as defined
below) in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee, or (iii) by the stockholders of the Company.


 


(c) Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if a request for indemnification is made after a Change in Control, at the election of Indemnitee
made in writing to the Company, and if the Board by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors orders the determination
of Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification to be made by an Independent Counsel, or if a quorum of Disinterested Directors cannot
be obtained, any determination required to be made pursuant to Section 6(b) above as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification
shall be made by Independent Counsel selected as provided in this Section 6(c). The Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee,
unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board. The party making the selection shall give written notice to
the other party advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. The party receiving such notice may, within seven
(7) days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the other party a written objection to such selection.
Such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent
Counsel” as defined in Section 13 hereof, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion.
Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If a written objection is made, the Independent
Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until a court has determined that such objection is without merit.
If, within twenty (20) days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof,
no Independent Counsel shall have been selected (or, if selected, such selection shall have been objected to) in accordance with this
paragraph, then either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the courts of the State of Nevada or other court of competent jurisdiction
for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent
Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall
designate, and the person with respect to whom an objection is favorably resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent
Counsel under Section 6(c) hereof. The Company shall pay any and all reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel incurred
by such Independent Counsel in connection with acting pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof. The Company shall pay any and all reasonable
and necessary fees and expenses incident to the procedures of this Section 6(c), regardless of the manner in which such Independent
Counsel was selected or appointed.


 






    5


     


    

 


(d) If the determination
of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof, the Independent Counsel
shall be selected as provided in this Section 6(d). The Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board. Indemnitee may, within
ten (10) days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company a written objection to such selection;
provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does
not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 13 of this Agreement, and the
objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so
selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If a written objection is made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel selected may not
serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit.
If, within twenty (20) days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof,
no Independent Counsel shall have been selected (or, if selected, such selection shall have been objected to) in accordance with this
paragraph, then either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the appropriate courts of the State of Nevada or other court of competent
jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by Indemnitee to the Company’s selection of Independent
Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall
designate, and the person with respect to whom an objection is favorably resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent
Counsel under Section 6(b) hereof. The Company shall pay any and all reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel in connection
with acting pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof, and the Company shall pay any and all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the
procedures of this Section 6(d), regardless of the manner in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed.


 


(e) In making a determination
with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such determination shall presume that
Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof
and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence. Neither the failure of the Company (including by its directors or independent
legal counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is
proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company
(including by its directors or independent legal counsel) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a
defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.


 


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


 


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


 






    6


     


    

 


(h) Indemnitee shall cooperate
with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including
providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or
otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any
Independent Counsel or member of the Board or stockholder of the Company shall act reasonably and in good faith in making a determination
regarding Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees
and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne
by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies
and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.


 


7. Remedies of Indemnitee.


 


(a) In the event that (i)
a determination is made pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement,
(ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement
to indemnification is made pursuant to Section 6(b) or Section 6(c) of this Agreement within sixty (60) days after receipt
by the Company of the request for indemnification, or such longer period, not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days, to which the period
may be extended pursuant to Section 6(g), (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to this Agreement within ten (10)
days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor or (v) payment of indemnification is not made within ten (10) days after
a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or such determination is deemed to have been made pursuant
to Section 6 of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication of Indemnitee’s entitlement to such indemnification
or advancement of expenses either, at Indemnitee’s sole option, in (1) an appropriate court of the State of Nevada, or any other
court of competent jurisdiction or (2) an arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator, selected by mutual agreement of the Company
and Indemnitee, pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to
seek any such adjudication.


 






    7


     


    

 





(b) In the event that a determination
shall have been made pursuant to Section 6(b) or Section 6(c) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification,
(i) any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 7 shall be conducted in all respects de novo on the
merits, and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of any adverse determination under Section 6(b) or Section 6(c);
and (ii) in any such judicial proceeding or arbitration, the Company shall have the burden of proving that Indemnitee is not entitled
to indemnification under this Agreement.


 


(c) If a determination shall
have been made pursuant to Section 6(b) or Section 6(c), or shall have been deemed to have been made pursuant to Section
6(g), of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be obligated to pay the amounts constituting
such indemnification within five (5) days after such determination has been made or has been deemed to have been made and shall be conclusively
bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 7, unless the Company establishes by
written opinion of Independent Counsel that (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary
to make Indemnitee’s misstatement not materially misleading in connection with the request for indemnification or (ii) a prohibition
of such indemnification under applicable law.


 


(d) In the event that Indemnitee,
pursuant to this Section 7, seeks a judicial adjudication of, or an award in arbitration to enforce, his or her rights under, or
to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, or to recover under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies
maintained by the Company, the Company shall pay to him or her, or on his or her behalf, in advance, and shall indemnify him or her against,
any and all expenses (of the types described in the definition of Expenses in Section 13 of this Agreement) actually and reasonably incurred
by him or her in such judicial adjudication or arbitration, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to
such indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance recovery.


 


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


 


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



 


(a) The rights of
indemnification and advancement of expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of, and shall be in addition
to, any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Articles or the Bylaws of the
Company, any agreement, a vote of stockholders, a resolution of directors of the Company, or otherwise, and nothing in this
Agreement shall diminish or otherwise restrict Indemnitee’s rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses under any of
the foregoing. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of
Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his or her Corporate Status prior to
such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in the NRS, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits
greater indemnification than would be afforded currently under the Articles, the Bylaws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the
parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change and Indemnitee shall be
deemed to have such greater benefits hereunder. 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. The Company shall not adopt any
amendments to its Articles or Bylaws, the effect of which would be to deny, diminish or encumber Indemnitee’s right to
indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Agreement, any other agreement or otherwise, without the prior written consent
of the Indemnitee.


 






    8


     


    

 


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


 


(c) 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 (with all of Indemnitee’s reasonable expenses, including, without limitation,
attorneys’ fees and charges, related thereto to be reimbursed by or, at the option of Indemnitee, advanced by the Company).


 


(d) The Company shall not
be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has
otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.


 


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


 


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


 


(a) for which payment has
actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, except with respect to any excess
beyond the amount paid under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision; or


 


(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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or similar provisions of
state statutory law or common law; or


 


(c) for any reimbursement
of the Company by Indemnitee of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by Indemnitee
from the sale of securities of the Company, as required in each case under the Exchange Act (including any such reimbursements that arise
from an accounting restatement of the Company pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley
Act”), or the payment to the Company of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation
of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act); or


 






    9


     


    

 


(d) for any reimbursement
of the Company by Indemnitee of any compensation pursuant to any compensation recoupment or clawback policy adopted by the Board or the
compensation committee of the Board, including but not limited to any such policy adopted to comply with stock exchange listing requirements
implementing Section 10D of the Exchange Act; or


 


(e) 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 (other than to enforce Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement) or its directors, officers, employees
or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Board of the Company authorized the Proceeding (or such part of the Proceeding) prior to its initiation,
or (ii) the Company indemnifies Indemnitee, in its sole discretion, independently of this Agreement pursuant to the powers vested in the
Company under applicable law.


 


10. Retroactive Effect;
Duration of Agreement; Successors and Binding Agreement. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall
be deemed to have become effective upon the date Indemnitee first had Corporate Status; shall continue during the period Indemnitee
has Corporate Status; and shall continue thereafter so long as Indemnitee may be subject to any Proceeding (or any action commenced
under Section 7 hereof) by reason of his or her Corporate Status, whether or not he or she is acting or serving in any such capacity
at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification can be provided under this Agreement. This Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors (including any direct
or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business or assets
of the Company), assigns, spouses, heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives. The Company shall require any such successor
to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee and
his or her counsel, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent the Company would
be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 10, this Agreement
shall not be assignable or delegable by the Company.


 


11. Security. To the
extent requested by Indemnitee and approved by the Board of the Company, 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.


 


 12. Enforcement.




 


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


 


(b) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written
and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

of the Incumbent Directors then on the Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which
such person is named as a nominee for director, without written objection to such nomination) will be an Incumbent Director; provided,
however, that no individual initially elected or nominated as a director of the Company as a result of an actual or threatened

of the Outstanding Company Common Shares and the Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination

equivalent securities) and the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election
of directors (or, for a non-corporate entity, equivalent governing body), as the case may be, of the entity resulting from such Business
Combination (including, without limitation, an entity that, as a result of such transaction, owns the Company or all or substantially
all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their
ownership immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Company Common Shares and the Outstanding Company Voting Securities,
as the case may be, and (B) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors (or, for a non-corporate entity, equivalent governing
body) of the entity resulting from such Business Combination were Incumbent Directors at the time of the execution of the initial agreement
or of the action of the Board providing for such Business Combination;

incurred in connection with any appeal resulting from any Proceeding, including, without limitation, the premium, security for, and other
costs relating to any cost bond, supersede as bond, or other appeal bond or its equivalent. Should any payments by the Company to or for
the account of Indemnitee under this Agreement be determined to be subject to any federal, state or local income or excise tax, Expenses
shall also include such amounts as are necessary to place Indemnitee in the same after-tax position (after giving effect to all applicable
taxes) Indemnitee would have been in had no such tax been determined to apply to those payments. The parties agree that for the purposes
of any advancement of Expenses for which Indemnitee has made written demand to the Company in accordance with this Agreement, all Expenses
included in such demand that are certified by affidavit of Indemnitee’s counsel as being reasonable in the good faith judgment of
such counsel shall be presumed conclusively to be reasonable. Expenses, however, shall not include amounts paid in settlement by Indemnitee
or the amount of judgments or fines against Indemnitee.

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 the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then
prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s
rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Counsel referred to above and to fully indemnify

excluding one initiated by an Indemnitee pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement to enforce his or her rights under this Agreement.


 


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


 


15. Modification and Waiver.
No supplement, modification, termination or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties

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


 


17. Notices. All notices
and other communications given or made pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given (a) upon personal
