| **Item 1.01** | **Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.** |

---

On January 11, 2023, Tricida, Inc. (the "Company") executed a Restructuring Support Agreement (the "Restructuring Support Agreement") with holders holding in excess of 80% of the aggregate amount of the Company's 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the "Notes," and the holders thereof, the "Consenting Noteholders").

The Restructuring Support Agreement includes milestones designed to facilitate an expedited sale process meant to maximize the value of the Company's assets while preserving cash for the benefit of the Company's estate and its creditors. In furtherance of this goal, the Restructuring Support Agreement milestones commit the Company to certain case milestones, including, among others, the filing of a motion to approve sale, bidding, and notice procedures on the petition date, as well as a timeline for filing of a disclosure statement and liquidating plan, the entry of an order approving bid procedures, a qualified bid deadline, an auction, if multiple bids are received, the entry of an order approving the sale, and the entry of an order confirming a plan. Failure to meet any of the case milestones set forth in the Restructuring Support Agreement would allow the Consenting Noteholders to terminate the Restructuring Support Agreement, reducing certainty and increasing costs to the detriment of the Company, its estate, its stakeholders, and all parties in interest.

In addition, the Restructuring Support Agreement establishes a process for the implementation of the liquidating plan through the creation of a liquidating trust and sets up a general framework for the treatment of claims against and equity interests in the Company. Finally, the Restructuring Support Agreement contains certain negotiated releases for the Company, its directors and officers, and the Consenting Noteholders, contains a commitment to pay prepetition and, with court approval, postpetition professional fees and expenses of the Consenting Noteholders, and contains a commitment to pay the outstanding November 15, 2022 interest payment due under the Notes, which was paid on January 11, 2023.

The foregoing summary of the terms and conditions of the Restructuring Support Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Restructuring Support Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.

| **Item 1.03** | **Bankruptcy or Receivership.** |

---

On January 11, 2023, the Company filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 ("Chapter 11") of Title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware ("Bankruptcy Court") thereby commencing a Chapter 11 case for the Company (Case No. 23-10024). The Company will continue to operate its business as a "debtor in possession" under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. The Company is seeking approval of various "first day" motions with the Bankruptcy Court, requesting customary relief intended to enable the Company to continue its ordinary course operations and to facilitate an orderly wind down of its operations. The Company intends to sell substantially all of its assets during the bankruptcy case consistent with and pursuant to the milestones set forth in the Restructuring Support Agreement.

The Company cannot be certain that holders of the Company's common stock will receive any payment or other distribution on account of those shares following the bankruptcy proceedings.

Additional information about the Chapter 11 case, including access to the Restructuring Support Agreement, is available online at http://www.kccllc.net/Tricida. The information on that website is not incorporated by reference and does not constitute part of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

---

As previously disclosed, on May 22, 2020, the Company entered into an indenture (the "Indenture") with U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee ("US Bank"), relating to the Company's Notes.

The bankruptcy filing described in Item 1.03 above constitutes an event of default that accelerates the Company's obligations under the Indenture and the Notes. The Indenture provides that upon the bankruptcy filing the principal and interest due under the Indenture shall automatically become due and payable. Any efforts to enforce such payment obligations under the Indenture are automatically stayed as a result of the bankruptcy filing, and the creditors' rights of enforcement in respect of the Indenture is subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

## Exhibit 3.1

![](ex31-tcdaxamendedandrest001.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exhibit 3.1 AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS OF TRICIDA, INC. (hereinafter called the "Corporation") ARTICLE I MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS Section 1.1. Place of Meetings. Meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation for the election of directors or for any other purpose shall be held at such time and place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be designated from time to time by the board of directors of the Corporation (the "Board"). Section 1.2. Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting in accordance with these amended and restated bylaws of the Corporation (as amended from time to time in accordance with the provisions hereof, these "Bylaws") shall be held on such date and at such time as shall be designated from time to time by the Board. The Board may postpone, reschedule or cancel any annual meeting of stockholders previously scheduled by the Board. Section 1.3. Special Meetings. Unless otherwise required by law or by the certificate of incorporation of the Corporation (including, without limitation, the terms of any certificate of designation with respect to any series of preferred stock), as amended and restated from time to time (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation, for any purpose or purposes, may be called only by the Chairperson of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President (in the absence of a Chief Executive Officer) or the Board. The ability of the stockholders of the Corporation to call a special meeting of stockholders is hereby specifically denied. At a special meeting of stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall be specified in the notice of meeting. The Chairperson of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President (in the absence of a Chief Executive Officer) or the Board may postpone, reschedule or cancel any special meeting of stockholders previously called by any of them. Section 1.4. Notice. Whenever stockholders of the Corporation are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting shall be given which shall state the place, date and time of the meeting, the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, if such date is different from the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed present in person and vote at such meeting. Unless otherwise required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, written notice of any meeting shall be given either personally, by mail or by electronic transmission (if permitted under the circumstances by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the "DGCL")) not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, by or at the direction of the Chairperson of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President (in the absence of a Chief Executive Officer) or the Board, to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail with postage thereon prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at the stockholder's address as it appears on the stock transfer books of the Corporation. If notice is given by means of electronic transmission, such notice shall be deemed to be given at the times provided in the DGCL. Any stockholder may waive notice of any meeting before or after the meeting. The attendance of a stockholder at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice at such meeting, except where the stockholder attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

![](ex31-tcdaxamendedandrest002.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section 1.5. Adjournments. Any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may be adjourned from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place by holders of a majority of the voting power of the Corporation's capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, though less than a quorum, or by any officer entitled to preside at or to act as secretary of such meeting, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting, are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, notice of the adjourned meeting in accordance with the requirements of Section 1.4 of these Bylaws shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If, after the adjournment, a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board shall fix as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record as of the record date so fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting. Section 1.6. Quorum. Unless otherwise required by applicable law or the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Corporation's capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders. Where a separate vote by a class or classes or series is required, a majority of the voting power of the shares of such class or classes or series present in person or represented by proxy shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to such vote. If a quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of stockholders, either the chairperson of the meeting or the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, in the manner provided in Section 1.5 of these Bylaws, until a quorum shall be present or represented. A quorum, once established, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum. Section 1.7. Voting. (a) Matters Other Than Election of Directors. Any matter brought before any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, other than the election of directors, shall be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Corporation's capital stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on such matter, voting as a single class, unless the matter is one upon which, by express provision of law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such matter. Except as provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, every stockholder having the right to vote shall have one vote for each share of stock having voting power registered in such stockholder's name on the books of the Corporation. Such votes may be cast in person or by proxy as provided in Section 1.10 of these Bylaws. The Board, in its discretion, or the officer of the Corporation presiding at a meeting of stockholders, in such officer's discretion, may require that any votes cast at such meeting shall be cast by written ballot. (b) Election of Directors. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock to elect directors under specified circumstances, election of directors at all meetings of the stockholders at which directors are to be elected shall be by a plurality of the votes cast at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present. Section 1.8. Voting of Stock of Certain Holders. Shares of stock of the Corporation standing in the name of another corporation or entity, domestic or foreign, and entitled to vote may be voted by such officer, agent or proxy as the bylaws or other internal regulations of such corporation or entity may prescribe or, in the absence of such provision, as the board of directors or comparable body of such corporation or entity may determine. Shares of stock of the Corporation standing in the name of a deceased person, a minor, an incompetent or a debtor in a case under Title 11, United States Code, and entitled to vote may be voted by an administrator, executor, guardian, conservator, debtor- in-possession or trustee, as the case may be, either in person or by proxy, without transfer of such shares into the name of the official or other person so voting. A stockholder whose shares of stock of the Corporation are pledged shall be entitled to vote such shares, unless on the transfer records of the Corporation such stockholder has expressly empowered the pledgee to vote such shares, in which case only the pledgee, or the pledgee's proxy, may vote such shares.

------

![](ex31-tcdaxamendedandrest003.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section 1.9. Treasury Stock. Shares of stock of the Corporation belonging to the Corporation, or to another corporation a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of which are held by the Corporation, shall not be voted at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation and shall not be counted in the total number of outstanding shares for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present. Nothing in this Section 1.9 shall limit the right of the Corporation to vote shares of stock of the Corporation held by it in a fiduciary capacity. Section 1.10. Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy filed with the secretary of the Corporation (the "Secretary") before or at the time of the meeting. No such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing with the Secretary an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or another duly executed proxy bearing a later date. Section 1.11. No Consent of Stockholders in Lieu of Meeting. Except as otherwise expressly provided by the terms of any series of preferred stock permitting the holders of such series of preferred stock to act by written consent, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, and, as specified by the Certificate of Incorporation, the ability of the stockholders to consent in writing to the taking of any action is specifically denied. Section 1.12. List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote. The officer of the Corporation who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make or have prepared and made, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (provided, however, that if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten (10) days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth (10th) day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be examined by any stockholder who is present. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Section 1.13. Record Date. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation or any adjournment thereof, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If the Board so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting, but the Board may fix a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.13 at the adjourned meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section 1.14. Organization and Conduct of Meetings. The Chairperson of the Board shall act as chairperson of meetings of stockholders of the Corporation. The Board may designate any other director or officer of the Corporation to act as chairperson of any meeting in the absence of the Chairperson of the Board, and the Board may further provide for determining who shall act as chairperson of any meeting of stockholders in the absence of the Chairperson of the Board and such designee. The Board may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of any meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board, the chairperson of any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to convene and (for any or no reason) to recess or adjourn the meeting to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairperson, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board or prescribed by the chairperson of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) the determination of when the polls shall open and close for any given matter to be voted on at the meeting; (iii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iv) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the chairperson of the meeting shall determine; (v) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (vi) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. Except to the extent determined by the Board or the person presiding over the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure. Section 1.15. Inspectors of Election.

Such notice must be accompanied by a written consent of each proposed nominee to being named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation. (d) Defective Nominations. No person shall be eligible for election as a director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.17.

## Exhibit 10.2

![](exhibit102_fitzgeraldind001.jpg)

1 INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR AGREEMENT THIS INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made as of December 23, 2022, by and between Tricida, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Auburndale Advisors LLC ("Contractor"). BACKGROUND WHEREAS, the Company desires and has requested that Contractor arrange for Thomas G. FitzGerald (the "Director") to serve as an independent director of the Company. WHEREAS, the Company and Contractor intend this Agreement to induce the Contractor to arrange for the Director to serve in the capacity set forth above and to set forth certain understandings between the parties. AGREEMENT NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements and promises contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 1. TERM. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the term of this Agreement (the "Term") shall commence as of the earliest date that both (i) the Director has been duly appointed by the Company to its board of directors and (ii) the Company has obtained a directors and officers' insurance policy reasonably acceptable to Director in accordance with Section 6(g) of this Agreement and shall continue until such time as Director's successor is duly elected and qualified or until Director's earlier death, resignation or removal. 2. DUTIES. Director shall (i) serve as an independent director of the Company and to be reasonably available to perform the duties consistent with such position pursuant to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, dated June 11, 2020, and the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, as adopted June 22, 2018 and effective as of July 2, 2018, as may be further amended from time to time in accordance with applicable law (together, the "Organizational Documents") and the laws of the state of Delaware; and (ii) serve as a member of any committee of the Company's board of directors, if applicable, with the specific scope of duties described in any board-approved documentation establishing such committee (the "Services"). Such Services for the Company shall include, without limitation, participation in telephonic and/or in-person meetings of the Company's board of directors and such other duties reasonably consistent with acting as a director of a company. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Contractor confirms that Director is independent (as such term has been construed under Delaware law with respect to directors of Delaware corporations). By execution of this Agreement, Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Director appointed as a member of the Company's board of directors as soon as practicable after the date hereof, and Contractor and Director agree to accept Director's appointment or election as independent Director of the Company, subject to the Company obtaining insurance coverage in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company acknowledges that Director currently holds similar positions with other companies and provides a variety of services to other companies and the Company agrees that Director may maintain such positions and any future positions ("Other Employment"), provided that such Other Employment shall not materially interfere with Director's obligations under this Agreement. Director confirms that he will be able to devote sufficient time and attention to the Company as is reasonably necessary to fulfill his responsibilities as a director of the Company and that the Other Employment will not in any way impact Director's independence. Exhibit 10.2

![](exhibit102_fitzgeraldind002.jpg)

2 The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Director is being engaged to serve as an independent director of the Company only and is not being engaged to serve, and shall not serve, the Company in any other capacity. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be deemed to create any employment, partnership, agency or joint venture relationship between the parties or between Contractor or Director and the Company. Director acknowledges and agrees that, in Director's capacity as a director of the Company, Director's status at all times shall be that of an independent contractor. Each of Contractor and Director further acknowledges that the Company makes no warranties as to any tax consequences regarding payment of any amounts hereunder, specifically agrees that the determination of any tax liability or other consequences of any payment made hereunder are Contractor's or Director's (as applicable) sole and complete responsibility and that Contractor or Director (as applicable) will pay all taxes, if any, assessed on such payments under the applicable laws of any federal, state, local, foreign or other jurisdiction and, to the extent not so paid, will indemnify the Company for any taxes so assessed against the Company. Director also agrees that, during the Term, Director shall not be eligible to participate in any of the employee benefit plans or arrangements of the Company (including with respect to any severance or vacation). 3. COMPENSATION. During the Term, for all Services to be rendered by Director hereunder, and so long as Director remains a director of the Company, the Company agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, to Contractor, for the benefit of Director, a monthly fee of $25,000 per month (the "Monthly Fee") in advance, which will be fully earned upon receipt; provided, however, that the Company shall pay the Monthly Fees corresponding to a period of no less than six (6) months after the Director has been duly appointed to the board, regardless of whether the Director's Services end for any reason during that period or whether the Director's successor, if any, has been duly elected and appointed to the board. 4. EXPENSES. In addition to the compensation provided in Section 3 hereof, the Company will reimburse Director for reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses that Director has incurred in regard to his provision of Services during the Term (the "Expenses") including legal expenses associated with executing this Agreement. Such Expenses shall be reimbursed as soon as practicable following receipt by the Company of documentation from Director evidencing such Expenses, consistent with the Company's policies relating to expense reimbursement as in effect from time to time. 5. CONFIDENTIALITY. The Company and Director each acknowledge that in order for Director to perform his duties as an independent Director of the Company, Director shall necessarily be obtaining access to certain confidential information concerning the Company and its affiliates, including, but not limited to business methods, information systems, financial data and strategic plans which are unique assets of the Company or its affiliates ("Confidential Information"). Director covenants that he shall not, either directly or indirectly, in any manner, utilize or disclose to any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity any Confidential Information, except (i) to the extent such Confidential Information (A) is generally known to the public, (B) was known to Director prior to its disclosure to Director by the Company, (C) was obtained by Director from a third party which, to Director's knowledge, was not prohibited from disclosing such information to Director pursuant to any contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation, or (D) was independently derived by Director without any use of Confidential Information, or (ii) unless and to the extent that Director is required to disclose such Confidential Information under the terms of a subpoena or order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or pursuant to applicable law; provided that Director must (A) if legally permissible, promptly provide written notice to the Company of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such a requirement to disclose prior to disclosure, so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order, (B) cooperate with the Company in the Company's efforts and at its cost to contest, object to, or limit such a request and (C) disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed. This Section 5 shall continue in effect after Director has ceased acting as an independent director of the Company. 6. INDEMNIFICATION. (a) Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Section 6, the term:

------

![](exhibit102_fitzgeraldind003.jpg)

3 "Expenses" means all expenses, amounts, costs, liabilities, losses, damages and other amounts (including, without limitation, attorneys' and professional fees, retainers for attorneys and professional, expert and witness fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel and professionals, judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by Director or on Director's behalf in connection with a Proceeding. "Proceeding" means any alleged, threatened, pending, actual or completed action, suit, inquiry or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, whether public or private, and, including any such alleged, threatened, pending, actual or completed action, suit, inquiry or proceeding by or in the right of the Company. (b) Indemnification. In the event that Director or Contractor was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved (including, without limitation, as a witness) in any Proceeding by reason of the fact that Director or a person of whom Director is the legal representative was a Director of the Company and, whether the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a Director or in any other capacity while serving as a Director of the Company, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Director to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law or any other applicable law or rule, but no less than to the extent set forth herein, against all Expenses; provided, however, that the Company shall indemnify Director only if Director provides prompt written notice of the Proceeding to the Company (failure to give prompt notice shall not relieve Company of its indemnification obligations hereunder unless it was materially prejudiced thereby); and provided, further, that the Company shall indemnify Director only if Director acted honestly and in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of authority conferred on Director by the Company's Organizational Documents and with a view to the best interests of the Company and did not engage in fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct and, in the case of criminal Proceedings, Director had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction; and provided, further, that the Company shall indemnify Director in connection with a Proceeding (or claim or part thereof) initiated by Director only if (i) such Proceeding is a suit or other action seeking to enforce Director's right to advancement of expenses and/or indemnification under this Agreement or (ii) such Proceeding (or claim or part thereof) was authorized by the board of directors of the Company. (c) Presumptions. In the event that, under Delaware law, the entitlement of Director and/or Contractor to be indemnified hereunder shall depend upon whether Director shall have acted in good faith and in a manner Director reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or without fraud, gross negligence and/or willful misconduct and with respect to criminal Proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe Director's conduct was unlawful, or shall have acted in accordance with some other defined standard of conduct, or whether fees and disbursements of counsel and other costs and amounts are reasonable, the burden of proof of establishing that Director is not entitled to indemnification because he has not acted in accordance with such standard and that such costs and amounts are unreasonable shall rest with the Company, and Director shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification unless, and only unless, it shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (after exhaustion or expiration of the time for filing of all appeals) that Director has not met such standard or, with respect to the amount of indemnification, that such costs and amounts are not reasonable (in which case Director shall be indemnified to the extent such costs and amounts are determined by such court to be reasonable). In addition, and without in any way limiting the provisions of this Section 6(c), Director shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner Director reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company (and not acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct) or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding to have had no reasonable cause to believe Director's conduct was unlawful, if Director's action is based on (i) information supplied to Director by the officers of the Company in the course of their duties, (ii) the advice of legal counsel for the Company or (iii) information or records given or reports made to the Company by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Company.

![](exhibit102_fitzgeraldind004.jpg)

4 The provisions of this Section 6(c) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct, if applicable, under Delaware law. (d) Indemnification When Wholly or Partly Successful. Without limiting the scope of indemnification provided in Section 6(b), to the extent that Director or Contractor is a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding, Director and Contractor shall be indemnified to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law against all Expenses. If Director or Contractor is not wholly successful in a 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 Director and Contractor against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Director or Contractor and on their behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter, and shall otherwise indemnify Director and Contractor to the extent required by Section 6(b). All Expenses shall be presumed to have been incurred with respect to successfully resolved claims, issues and matters unless, and only unless (with the burden of proof being on the Company), it shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (after exhaustion or expiration of the time for filing of all appeals) that a portion of such Expenses were incurred with respect to unsuccessfully resolved claims, issues or matters. For purposes of this Section 6(d) and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in any Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter. (e) Suit to Recover Indemnification. If a claim under Section 6(b) or Section 6(h) of this Agreement is not paid in full by the Company within thirty days after a written claim has been received by the Company, Director or Contractor may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. It shall be a defense to any such suit (other than a suit brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking has been tendered to the Company) that Director has not met the standards of conduct, if applicable, which make it permissible under Delaware law and the terms of this Agreement for the Company to indemnify Director and Contractor for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense and its applicability shall be on the Company. Neither the failure of the Company (including its board of directors or equity holders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of Director or Contractor is proper in the circumstances because Director has met the standard of conduct, if applicable, under Delaware law and the terms of this Agreement, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its board of directors or equity holders) that Director has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the suit or create a presumption that Director has not met the applicable standard of conduct. The expenses incurred by Director or Contractor in bringing such suit (whether or not Director or Contractor is successful) shall be paid by the Company unless a court of competent jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions made by Director or Contractor in such suit was not made in good faith. (f) Rights Not Exclusive; Rights Continue. The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Agreement shall not be exclusive of, or limit in any manner whatsoever, any other right which Director or Contractor may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Organizational Documents, agreement, vote of equity holders or otherwise. The indemnification, expense advancement and other rights of Director and Contractor herein shall continue after Director ceases to be an independent Director for so long as Director or Contractor may be subject to any possible claim for which he would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise as a matter of law, and shall not be amended, modified, terminated, revoked or otherwise altered without Director's prior written consent. (g) Insurance. The Company or one of its affiliates (which, in the case of an affiliate, shall include coverage of directors of the Company) shall obtain and/or maintain insurance to protect the Company and any Director or trustee of the Company against any expense, liability or loss, including customary director and officer insurance acceptable to the Director in form and amounts, which shall include both an annual policy commencing at the start of the Term and a tail policy to protect Director for a period of no less than 5 additional years. Director shall have the right to receive a copy of any policy for such insurance upon request.

------

![](exhibit102_fitzgeraldind005.jpg)

5 (h) Advancement of Defense Costs. Notwithstanding anything in the Organizational Documents to the contrary, the Company shall also promptly pay Director and Contractor the expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending any Proceeding as incurred and in advance of its final disposition without requiring any preliminary determination of the ultimate entitlement of Director or Contractor to indemnification; provided, however, the payment of such expenses so incurred by Director or Contractor in advance of the final disposition of any Proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of an unsecured undertaking reasonably acceptable to the Company by or on behalf of Director, to repay (without interest) all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that Director or Contractor is not entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement. (i) Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Director and Contractor, who shall, at the Company's expense, execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights. (j) No Duplication of Payments. The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment in connection with any Proceeding against Director or Contractor to the extent Director or Contractor has otherwise actually received payment (under any insurance policy, contract, agreement, the Organizational Documents, or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder. (k) Contribution. If the indemnification provided in Section 6(b) and the advancement provided in Section 6(h) should under Delaware law be unenforceable or insufficient to hold Director and Contractor harmless in respect of any and all Expenses with respect to any Proceeding, then the Company shall, subject to the provisions of this Section 6(k) and for purposes of this Section 6(k) only, upon written notice from Director or Contractor, be treated as if it were a party who is or was threatened to be made a party to such Proceeding (if not already a party), and the Company shall contribute to Director or Contractor the amount of Expenses incurred by Director and Contractor in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits accruing to the Company and all of its directors, trustees, officers, employees and agents (other than Director) treated as one entity on the one hand, and Director on the other, which arose out of the event(s) underlying such Proceeding, and the relative fault of the Company and all of its directors, trustees, officers, employees and agents (other than Director) treated as one entity on the one hand, and Director on the other, in connection with such event(s), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No provision of this Section 6(k) shall: (i) operate to create a right of contribution in favor of Director or Contractor if it is judicially determined that, with respect to any Proceeding, Director engaged in willful misconduct or (ii) limit Director's rights to indemnification and advancement of Expenses, whether under this Agreement or otherwise. The Company shall not enter into any settlement of any Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Director (or would be if joined in such Proceeding) unless such settlement provides for a full and final release of all claims asserted against Director and does not contain an admission of wrongdoing by Director. Director shall not enter into any settlement of any Proceeding which may be subject to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Company shall have the right to control the defense of any Proceeding for which indemnification may be sought hereunder with counsel reasonably acceptable to Director. 7. MISCELLANEOUS. Contractor confirms that the execution and performance of this Agreement shall not be in violation of any agreement or obligation (whether or not written) that Director may have with or to any person or entity. In the event Contractor knows or has reason to know that any of the statements made herein is not true or will not be true in the future, Contractor shall immediately report such finding to the Company. Contractor hereby acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement shall be an obligation solely of the Company and no other party is a beneficiary hereunder.

------

![](exhibit102_fitzgeraldind006.jpg)

6 8. INFORMATION. The Company shall provide Director with all information provided to other directors of the Company at such times as such information is provided to such other directors; any information reasonably requested by Director; quarterly financial information following the end of each fiscal quarter as soon as practicable, but no later than 60 days after, and shall make its management available to discuss the business and operations of the Company as soon as practicable upon Director's reasonable request. 9. EFFECT OF WAIVER. The waiver by either party of the breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach thereof. No waiver shall be deemed effective until signed by the parties. Each waiver shall be limited and no waiver shall be construed as a continuing waiver. 10. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with, and the rights of the parties hereto shall be determined by, the laws of the state of Delaware without reference to its conflicts of laws principles. 11. ASSIGNMENT. The rights and benefits of the Company under this Agreement shall not be transferable except by operation of law without Contractor's prior written consent, and all the covenants and agreements hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by or against, its successors and assigns.
