 2.7 Third Payment Milestone – Acceptance of Software Aviza’s acceptance of the Developed
Software in accordance with this Section 2.7 shall constitute the occurrence of the “Third Payment Milestone.” Trikon shall satisfy the Third Payment Milestone by the Third Milestone Date. Trikon’s satisfaction of the Third
Payment Milestone shall be determined in accordance with the following: 
  
 (i) Prior to delivery of the Developed Software to Aviza, Trikon will be given the opportunity to test and, if necessary, de-bug the Developed Software on a representative, functional Aviza Process Module, including,
if required by Trikon, on the Trikon Transport Module provided at Aviza’s Scotts Valley site. 
  
 (ii) Upon receipt of the Developed Software under Section 2.6, Aviza shall test the Developed Software to determine if it meets the Acceptance Criteria
for the Developed Software. 
  
 (iii) If Aviza rejects the
Developed Software, it shall provide the Trikon Project Manager with a written notice of rejection within thirty (30) days from the date of its initial receipt of the Developed Software (and similarly in the case of a second or subsequent test of
the Developed Software in accordance with Section 2.7(a)(iv), below; such period the “Acceptance Period”). Failure of Aviza to provide such rejection notice in the Acceptance Period shall be deemed acceptance of the Developed
Software and the satisfaction by Trikon of the Third Payment Milestone. 
  
 (iv) Aviza may only issue a rejection notice if it determines that the Developed Software fails to comply with the relevant Acceptance Criteria. A rejection notice shall set forth in detail the reasons for
Aviza’s rejection of the Developed Software. 
  
 (v) Upon
receipt of the rejection notice, Trikon shall have a reasonable amount of time but no more than fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice to correct any nonconformance or defect in the Developed Software and to return an updated copy of
Developed Software to Aviza for acceptance as provided in this Section 2.7. Upon receipt of such updated Developed Software, Aviza shall re-commence acceptance testing in accordance with Section 2.7(a)(i) above. 
  
 (vi) Subject to Sections 2.7(a)(i) through 2.7(a)(iv), the above acceptance
procedures shall be repeated until the Developed Software meets the Acceptance Criteria or Aviza properly exercises it termination rights in accordance with Section 13.2. 
  
 (b) Once the Developed Software is accepted by Aviza in accordance with the foregoing, for all purposes under this
Agreement, the date on which such Third Payment Milestone is deemed to have been satisfied shall be the date on which Aviza accepts the version of the Developed Software that meets the relevant Acceptance Criteria. 
  
 2.8 Milestone Dependencies 
  
 (a) Aviza shall satisfy the Aviza Dependencies, including providing Trikon
with the Aviza Deliverables, by the Aviza Dependency Dates and otherwise fully cooperate with Trikon to enable Trikon’s performance of the Development Plan, all in accordance with the Development Plan. 
  

 6 

 (b) Trikon’s satisfaction of the Trikon Milestones by the corresponding Milestone Dates is dependent
upon Aviza’s satisfaction of the Aviza Dependencies by the corresponding Aviza Dependency Dates. Any delay by Aviza in satisfying a Aviza Dependency by the corresponding Dependency Date shall automatically result in all subsequent Trikon
Milestone Dates being extended day-for-day by the delay of Aviza satisfying the Aviza Dependency. 
  
 ARTICLE III

This Exhibit 4.1 sets forth the terms and conditions (“Conditions”) pursuant to which Aviza will purchase the Commercial Units from Trikon pursuant to
Article IV of the JDA (as defined below). The terms and conditions of the JDA, including those which are specifically referenced herein and those which by their nature apply to the purchase of the Commercial Units by Aviza from Trikon, are hereby
incorporated by reference. 
  
 1. Definitions. In these Conditions:

  
 “Aviza” means Aviza Technology, Inc., and any company controlling,
controlled by or under common control with this company; 
  
 “The Goods”
means the quantity of Commercial Units (as defined in the JDA) described in the Order; 
  
 “The Order” means an order placed by Aviza for Commercial Units placed under Article IV of the JDA; 
  
 “The Price” means the price of the Commercial Units as set forth in Section 4.2 of the JDA; 
  
 “The Supplier” means Trikon Technologies, Inc. (“Trikon”); and 
  
 “The JDA” means the Joint Development Agreement dated March 11, 2005, between
Trikon and Aviza. 
  
 2. Acceptance of Orders by Supplier. No Orders shall
be binding on Supplier unless accepted in writing. Supplier agrees that it will accept all Orders from Aviza for the Required Units (as defined in the JDA) that request a delivery date within the lead times specified in Section 4.1 of the JDA,
provided Aviza’s quantity requirements are reasonable. As applicable, each party will notify the other of its available manufacturing capacity and its forecast of anticipated requirements, and of any material changes thereto, as soon as
reasonably practical after that party becomes aware of that information. 
  
 3.
Delivery of the Goods. Subject to Section 4.1 of the JDA, the time and place of delivery of the Goods are as specified in the Order. The terms of delivery shall be F.O.B. Supplier’s place of manufacture or other point of shipment in the
United Kingdom (the “F.O.B. point”). Supplier’s obligation to deliver shall not have been met until the Goods and the documentation as required per the Order, including any certificates, maintenance instructions and manuals, have been
delivered at the F.O.B. point. Unless expressly specified in the Order by Aviza, the delivery of Goods shall be non-recurring. If the Goods are agreed to be delivered/provided in installments, then the Order is deemed not to be severable. The
Supplier shall notify Aviza as soon as reasonably possible of any delay or potential delay in the execution of the Order, and will state the events causing such delay. Supplier shall be responsible for additional expenses to deliver the Goods in an
expedited manner or in a manner reasonably requested by Aviza if Goods are not delivered in accordance with timeframes set forth in the Order. 
  
 4. Rescheduling, Changes and Cancellations. Subject to Section 4.1 of the JDA, Aviza reserves the right at any time prior to shipment to suspend the delivery of
any Goods, without any additional charge, 

 
for up to one hundred and twenty (120) days after the originally scheduled shipment date. In addition, Aviza may terminate the Order in whole or in part upon
notice to Supplier at least thirty (30) days prior to the original shipment date for the Goods subject to such Order; provided, however, that Aviza shall pay Supplier for all materials costs incurred by Supplier for the Goods subject to the
cancellation, and Aviza will own all of those materials. Orders may not be canceled within thirty (30) days prior to the original shipment date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 4, Aviza shall have no right to
reschedule, cancel or otherwise change Orders in a manner that would delay the complete delivery of the eight (8) Required Units under the JDA to a date more than thirty (30) months after the JDA’s Effective Date.  
  
 5. Acceptance of Goods. The Goods are subject to inspection and testing by Aviza. In
any case where the Goods (whether or not inspected or tested by Aviza) do not comply with the requirements of the JDA, Aviza has the right to reject such Goods. When rejecting Goods, Aviza shall give notice of rejection to the Supplier specifying
the reasons for the rejection and shall return the rejected Goods to the Supplier at the Supplier’s risk and expense. In that case the Supplier shall, in its discretion repair the rejected Goods or replace the rejected Goods with Goods which
are in accordance with the JDA, or if neither option is possible, refund the amounts paid by Aviza for such Goods. 
  
 6. Title and Risk of Loss. The title to and risk of loss pertaining to the Goods passes to Aviza on delivery of the Goods to Aviza at the F.O.B point, without
prejudice to any right of Aviza to reject such Goods under these Conditions or otherwise. 
  
 7. Packaging. The Supplier shall package and label the Goods in a manner suitable for transit and storage at the Supplier’s expense in accordance with the Order. All packaging other than returnable packing
shall become Aviza’s property unless Aviza indicates otherwise, in which case the Supplier shall be obliged to dispose of the packaging at its own risk and expense. 
  
 8. Price. The Price shall include all license fees, taxes, excise, duties and costs, both direct and indirect, of supplying the Goods
except that, where the Goods are subject to Value Added Tax, the amount legally due shall be specified as a separate item of account. 
  
 9. Government Contracts. If the Goods are to be used by Aviza in the performance of a government contract or subcontract, those clauses of the applicable
governmental procurement regulations that are required by federal law to be included in government contracts or subcontracts will be deemed to apply to the Order and will be incorporated by reference. 
  
 10. Warranty. The Goods will be warranted as set forth in Section 9.2 of the JDA.

  
 11. Indemnity. Supplier will indemnify Aviza for all Goods purchased in
accordance with Article X of the JDA. 
  
 12. Limitation of Liability. The
limitation of liability contained in Article XI of the JDA will apply to all Goods purchased by Aviza hereunder. 
  
 13. Payment. Aviza shall pay to Supplier [OMITTED] of the total invoiced amount for the Goods within [OMITTED] days after shipment of the Goods, and
the remaining [OMITTED] within [OMITTED] days after the shipment thereof.

[OMITTED]Indemnification Agreement between the Company and Martyn Tuffery

 Exhibit 10.2 
  
 INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 
  
 This Indemnification Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into as of the 31st day of March, 2005 by and between Trikon Technologies, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Martyn Tuffery (“Indemnitee”). 
  
 RECITALS 
  
 A.    The Company and Indemnitee recognize the significant cost of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and the general reductions in the coverage of such insurance. 
  
 B.    The Company and Indemnitee further recognize the
substantial increase in corporate litigation in general, subjecting directors, officers, employees, agents and fiduciaries to expensive litigation risks at the same time as the availability and coverage of liability insurance has been severely
limited. 
  
 C.    Indemnitee does not regard
the current protection available as adequate under the present circumstances, and Indemnitee and other directors, officers, employees, agents and fiduciaries of the Company may not be willing to continue to serve in such capacities without
additional protection. 
  
 D.    The Company
desires to attract and retain the services of highly qualified individuals, such as Indemnitee, to serve the Company and, in part, in order to induce Indemnitee to continue to provide services to the Company, wishes to provide for the
indemnification and advancing of expenses to Indemnitee to the maximum extent permitted by law. 
  
 E.    In view of the considerations set forth above, the Company desires that Indemnitee be indemnified by the Company as set forth
herein. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Indemnitee hereby
agree as follows: 
  
 1.    Indemnification. 
  
 (a)    Indemnification of Expenses.    The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law if Indemnitee was or is or becomes a party to or witness or other
participant in, or is threatened to be made a party to or witness or other participant in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, proceeding or alternative dispute resolution mechanism, or any hearing, inquiry or investigation that
Indemnitee in good faith believes might lead to the institution of any such action, suit, proceeding or alternative dispute resolution mechanism, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other (hereinafter a
“Claim”) by reason of (or arising in part out of) any event or occurrence related to the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company, or any subsidiary of the Company, or is or was
serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee while serving
in such capacity (hereinafter an “Indemnifiable Event”) against any 

  

 1 

 
and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees and all other costs, expenses and obligations incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a
witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend, be a witness in or participate in, any such action, suit, proceeding, alternative dispute resolution mechanism, hearing, inquiry or investigation), judgments, fines,
penalties and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) of such Claim and any federal, state, local or foreign taxes imposed on Indemnitee as a result of
the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under this Agreement (collectively, hereinafter “Expenses”), including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses. Such
payment of Expenses shall be made by the Company as soon as practicable after written demand by Indemnitee therefor is presented to the Company. 
  
 (b)    Mandatory Payment of Expenses.    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement other than
Section 8 hereof, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise, including, without limitation, the dismissal of an action without prejudice, in defense of any action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation
referred to in Section (1)(a) hereof or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection therewith. 
  
 2.    Expenses; Indemnification Procedure.

  
 (a)    Advancement of
Expenses.    The Company shall advance all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee. Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay such amounts advanced only if, and to the extent that, it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not
entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized hereby. The advances to be made hereunder shall be paid by the Company as soon as practicable after written demand by Indemnitee therefor to the Company. 
  
 (b)    Notice/Cooperation by
Indemnitee.    Indemnitee shall, as a condition precedent to Indemnitees’ right to be indemnified under this Agreement, give the Company notice in writing as soon as practicable of any Claim made against Indemnitee for
which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement. Notice to the Company shall be directed to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company at the address shown on the signature page of this Agreement (or such other address as the
Company shall designate in writing to Indemnitee). In addition, Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and cooperation as it may reasonably require and as shall be within Indemnitees’ power. 
  
 (c)    Procedure.    Any
indemnification and advances provided for in Section 1 and this Section 2 shall be made as soon as practicable after receipt of the written request of Indemnitee. If a claim under this Agreement, under any statute, or under any provision of the
Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws providing for indemnification is not paid in full by the Company as soon as practicable after a written request for payment thereof has first been received by the Company, Indemnitee may, but
need not, at any time thereafter bring an action against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, subject to Section 13 of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid for the Expenses of bringing such action. It
shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for Expenses incurred in connection with any 

  

 2 

 
action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition) that Indemnitee has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under
applicable law for the Company to indemnify Indemnitee for the amount claimed. However, Indemnitee shall be entitled to receive interim payments of Expenses pursuant to Subsection 2(a) unless and until such defense may be finally adjudicated by
court order or judgment from which no further right of appeal exists. It is the parties’ intention that if the Company contests Indemnitee’s right to indemnification, the question of Indemnitee’s right to indemnification shall be for
the court to decide, and neither the failure of the Company (including its Board of Directors, any committee or subgroup of the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination that indemnification of
Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct required by applicable law, nor an actual determination by the Company (including it Board of Directors, any committee or subgroup of the Board
of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that Indemnitee has or has not met the applicable standard of conduct. In addition to the
foregoing, for purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any Claim by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a
presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by applicable law. 
  
 (d)    Notice to
Insurers.    If, at the time of the receipt by the Company of a notice of a Claim pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, the Company has liability insurance in effect which may cover such Claim, the Company shall give prompt notice
of the commencement of such Claim 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 action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation in accordance with the terms of such policies. 
  
 (e)    Selection of Counsel.    In the event the Company shall be obligated hereunder to pay the Expenses
of any Claim, the Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Claim with counsel approved by Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election so to do. After
delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with
respect to the same Claim; provided that, (i) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ Indemnitees’ counsel in any such Claim at Indemnitee’s expense and (ii) if (A) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously
authorized by the Company, (B) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there is a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense, or (C) the Company shall not continue to retain such counsel to
defend such Claim, then the fees and expenses of Indemnitee counsel shall be at the expense of the Company. The Company shall have the right to conduct such defense as it sees fit in its sole discretion, including the right to settle any claim
against Indemnitee without the consent of the Indemnitee. 
  
 3.    Additional Indemnification Rights; Nonexclusivity. 
  

 3 

 (a)    Scope.    The Company hereby agrees to indemnify
Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law, notwithstanding that such indemnification is not specifically authorized by the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the Company’s Bylaws or by
statute. In the event of any change after the date of this Agreement in any applicable law, statute or rule which expands the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its Board of Directors or an officer, employee, agent or
fiduciary, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits afforded by such change. In the event of any change in any applicable law, statute or rule which narrows the right of a Delaware
corporation to indemnify a member of its Board of Directors or an officer, employee, agent or fiduciary, such change, to the extent not otherwise required by such law, statute or rule to be applied to this Agreement, shall have no effect on this
Agreement or the parties’ rights and obligations hereunder except as set forth in Section 8(a) hereof. 
  
 (b)    Nonexclusivity.    The indemnification provided by this Agreement shall be in addition to any rights
to which Indemnitee may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, its Bylaws, any agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or otherwise. The
indemnification provided under this Agreement shall continue as to Indemnitee for any action Indemnitee took or did not take while serving in an indemnified capacity even though Indemnitee may have ceased to serve in such capacity. 
  
 4.    No Duplication of
Payments.    The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment in connection with any Claim made against Indemnitee to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment (under any insurance
policy, Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaw or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder. 
  
 5.    Partial Indemnification.    If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to
indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of Expenses incurred in connection with any Claim, but not, however, for all of the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses to
which Indemnitee are entitled. 
  
 6.    Mutual Acknowledgement.    Both the Company and Indemnitee acknowledge that in certain instances, Federal law or applicable public policy may prohibit the Company from indemnifying its
directors, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries under this Agreement or otherwise. Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the Company has undertaken or may be required in the future to undertake with the Securities and Exchange
Commission to submit the question of indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a determination of the Company’s right under public policy to indemnify Indemnitee. 
  
 7.    Liability Insurance.    To the extent the Company maintains liability
insurance applicable to directors, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policies in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably insured of the
Company’s directors, if Indemnitee is a director; or of the Company’s officers, if Indemnitee is not a director of the Company but is an officer; or of the Company’s key 

  

 4 

 
employees, agents or fiduciaries, if Indemnitee is not an officer or director but is a key employee, agent or fiduciary. 
  
 8.    Exceptions.    Any other
provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement: 
  
 (a)    Excluded Action or Omissions.    To indemnify Indemnitee for Indemnitee’s acts, omissions or
transactions from which Indemnitee may not be relieved of liability under applicable law; 
  
 (b)    Claims Initiated by Indemnitee.    To indemnify or advance expenses to Indemnitee with respect to Claims initiated or brought voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by
way of defense, except (i) with respect to actions or proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under this Agreement or any other agreement or insurance policy or under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or
Bylaws now or hereafter in effect relating to Claims for Indemnifiable Events, (ii) in specific cases if the Board of Directors has approved the initiation or bringing of such Claim, or (iii) as otherwise required under Section 145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advance expense payment or insurance recovery, as the case may be; 
  
 (c)    Lack of Good
Faith.    To indemnify Indemnitee for any expenses incurred by Indemnitee with respect to any proceeding instituted by Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that
each of the material assertions made by Indemnitee in such proceeding was not made in good faith or was frivolous; 
  
 (d)    Claims Under Section 16(b).    To indemnify Indemnitee for expenses and the payment of profits
arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any similar successor statute; or 
  
 (e)    Disgorgement of Profits and Bonuses Following a Restatement.    To
indemnifiy Indemnitee for (i) any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation received by Indemnitee or (ii) any profits arising from the sale of securities made by Indemnitee that in the case of each of clause (e)(i) or (e)(ii)
Indemnitee is required pursuant to Section 304 of the Sabarnes-Oxley Act of 2002 to reimburse to the Company. 
  
 9.    Period of Limitations.    No legal action shall be brought and no cause of action shall be asserted
by or in the right of the Company against Indemnitee, Indemnitee’s estate, spouse, heirs, executors or personal or legal representatives after the expiration of five (5) years from the date of accrual of such cause of action, and any claim or
cause of action of the Company shall be extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the timely filing of a legal action within such five-year period; provided, however, that if any shorter period of limitations is otherwise applicable
to any such cause of action, such shorter period shall govern. 
  
 10.    Construction of Certain Phrases. 
  

 5 

 (a)    For purposes of this Agreement, references to the “Company” shall
include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to
indemnify its directors, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries, so that if Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent
corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other enterprise, Indemnitee shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Agreement
with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as Indemnitee would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. 
  
 (b)    For purposes of this Agreement, references to “other enterprises” shall include
employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Company” shall include any service as
a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or its beneficiaries;
and if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to
the best interests of the Company” as referred to in this Agreement. 
  
 11.    Counterparts.    This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original. 
  
 12.    Binding Effect; Successors and
Assigns.    This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger,
consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, spouses, heirs, and personal and legal representatives. The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase,
merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially all, or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. This Agreement shall continue in effect with respect to Claims relating to Indemnifiable Events regardless of
whether Indemnitee continues to serve as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company or of any other enterprise at the Company’s request. 
  
 13.    Attorneys’ Fees.    In the event that any action is instituted by
Indemnitee under this Agreement or under any liability insurance policies maintained by the Company to enforce or interpret any of the terms hereof or thereof, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee with respect
to such action, regardless of whether Indemnitee is ultimately successful in such action, and shall be entitled to the advancement of Expenses with respect to such action, unless, as a part of such action, a court of competent jurisdiction over such
action determines that each of the material assertions made by Indemnitee as a basis for such action was not made in good faith or was frivolous. In the event of an action instituted by or in the name of the Company under 

  

 6 

 
this Agreement to enforce or interpret any of the terms of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in
defense of such action (including costs and expenses incurred with respect to Indemnitee counterclaims and cross-claims made in such action), and shall be entitled to the advancement of Expenses with respect to such action, unless, as a part of such
action, a court having jurisdiction over such action determines that each of Indemnitee material defenses to such action was made in bad faith or was frivolous. 
  

14.    Notice.    All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in
writing, shall be effective when given, and shall in any event be deemed to be given (a) five (5) days after deposit with the U.S. Postal Service or other applicable postal service, if delivered by first class mail, postage prepaid, (b) upon
delivery, if delivered by hand, (c) one business day after the business day of deposit with Federal Express or similar overnight courier, freight prepaid, or (d) one day after the business day of delivery by facsimile transmission, if delivered by
facsimile transmission, with copy by first class mail, postage prepaid, and shall be addressed if to Indemnitee, at the Indemnitee address as set forth beneath Indemnitee signatures to this Agreement and if to the Company at the address of its
principal corporate offices (attention: Secretary) or at such other address as such party may designate by ten days’ advance written notice to the other party hereto. 
  
 15.    Consent to Jurisdiction.    The Company and Indemnitee each hereby
irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware for all purposes in connection with any action or proceeding which arises out of or relates to this Agreement and agree that any action instituted under this Agreement
shall be commenced, prosecuted and continued only in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County, which shall be the exclusive and only proper forum for adjudicating such a claim. 
  
 16.    Severability.    The
provisions of this Agreement shall be severable in the event that any of the provisions hereof (including any provision within a single section, paragraph or sentence) are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or otherwise
unenforceable, and the remaining provisions shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. Furthermore, to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitations, each portion of this
Agreement containing any provision held to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, void or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable. 
  
 17.    Choice of
Law.    This Agreement shall be governed by and its provisions construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, as applied to contracts between Delaware residents, entered into and to be performed
entirely within the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof. 
  
 18.    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 Indemnitee who shall execute all documents required and shall do all acts that may be necessary to secure such rights and to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such
rights. 
  

 7 

 19.    Amendment and Termination.    No amendment,
modification, termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing signed by both the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other
provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver. 
  
 20.    Integration and Entire Agreement.    This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding between the
parties hereto and supersedes and merges all previous written and oral negotiations, commitments, understandings and agreements relating to the subject matter hereof between the parties hereto. 
  
 21.    No Construction as Employment
Agreement.    Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as giving Indemnitee any right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. 
  

 8 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
