Performance Award Agreement

 Exhibit 10.8 
  
 PERFORMANCE AWARD AGREEMENT 
  
 This Performance Award Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated effective January 22, 2003, is by and between Valero Energy Corporation,
a Delaware corporation (“Valero”), and Curtis V. Anastasio, a participant (the “Participant”) in Valero’s 2001 Executive Stock Incentive Plan, approved by the Board of Directors of Valero on March 15, 2001, and
approved by Valero’s stockholders on May 10, 2001 (as may be amended, the “Plan”), pursuant to and subject to the provisions of the Plan. 
  

	1.	Grant of Performance Shares. Valero hereby grants to Participant 2,000 Performance Shares pursuant to Section 6(d) of the Plan. The Performance Shares represent
rights to receive shares of Common Stock of Valero, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan. 

  

	2.	Performance Period. Except as provided below with respect to a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan), the “Performance Period” for any Performance
Shares eligible to vest on any given Normal Vesting Date (as defined below) shall be the three calendar years ending on the December 31 immediately preceding the Normal Vesting Date. 

  

	3.	Vesting and Delivery of Shares. The Performance Shares shall be eligible to vest in the following increments: one-third on January 22, 2004;
one-third on January 22, 2005; and one-third on January 22, 2006 (each a “Normal Vesting Date”), subject to verification of attainment of the Performance Objectives described in Paragraph 4 by the Compensation
Committee of the Valero Board of Directors, which determination is usually made each year at a meeting of the Compensation Committee of the Board held in January. Until shares of Common Stock are actually issued to Participant (or his or her estate)
in settlement of the Performance Shares, neither Participant nor any person claiming by, through or under Participant shall have any rights as a stockholder of Valero (including, without limitation, voting rights or any right to receive dividends or
other distributions) with respect to such shares, and Participant’s status with respect to the issuance of such shares shall be that of a general creditor of Valero. 

  

	4.	Performance Objectives. 

  

	 	A.	Total Shareholder Return. Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) will be compiled for a peer group of companies (the “Target Group”) for the Performance
Period immediately preceding each Normal Vesting Date. TSR for each such company is measured by dividing the sum of (i) the dividends on the common stock of such company during the Performance Period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and (ii) the
difference between the price of a share of such company’s common stock at the end and at the beginning of the period (appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, merger or other similar corporate events) by (iii) the
price of a share of such company’s common stock at the beginning of the period. 

  

	 	B.	Target Group. The applicable Target Group shall be selected by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Valero, acting in its sole discretion, at or
near the time of each Normal Vesting Date. The same Target Group shall be utilized to determine the number of Performance Shares vesting under all Performance Award Agreements of Valero having a similar Normal Vesting Date, but the decision of the
Compensation Committee as to the composition of such Target Group shall be final. 

  

	 	C.	 Performance Ranking. The TSR for the Performance Period for Valero and each company in the Target Group shall be arranged by rank from best to worst
according to the TSR achieved by 

  

 Page 1 

	 	 
each company. The total number of companies so ranked shall then be divided into four groups (“Quartiles”). For purposes of assigning companies to
Quartiles (with the 1st Quartile being the best and the 4th Quartile being the worst), the total number of companies ranked (including Valero) shall be divided into four groups as nearly equal in number as possible.
The number of companies in each group shall be the total number contained in the Target Group divided by four. If the total number of companies is not evenly divisible by four, so that there is a fraction contained in such quotient, the extra
company(ies) represented by such fraction will be included in one or more Quartiles as follows: 

  

			
	 Fraction

	 	 Extra Company(ies)

	1/4	 	1st Quartile
		
	1/2	 	1st Quartile
	 	 	2nd Quartile
		
	3/4	 	1st Quartile
	 	 	2nd Quartile
	 	 	3rd Quartile

  
 Any performance
shares not awarded as shares of Common Stock as a result of a ranking in the 3rd or 4th Quartile will carry forward for one more Performance Period; up to 100% of the Performance Shares carried forward may be
awarded based on Valero’s TSR during the next Performance Period, provided, that if any Performance Shares are carried forward due to a ranking in the 3rd Quartile, no such shares shall be awarded unless Valero’s TSR in the subsequent period is in the 2nd or 1st Quartile. 
  

	 	D.	Vesting Percentages. The number of shares of Common Stock, if any, that Participant will be entitled to receive in settlement of the vested Performance Shares will be
determined on each Normal Vesting Date and, subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, on such Normal Vesting Date, the following percentage of the vested Performance Shares will be awarded as shares of Common Stock to the Participant
if Valero’s TSR during the Performance Period falls within the following ranges: 

  

			
	 Valero TSR Position

	  	Percent of vested Performance
Shares to be awarded as
Shares of Common Stock

	     4th Quartile
	  	    0%
	     3rd Quartile
	  	  50%
	     2nd Quartile
	  	100%
	     1st Quartile
	  	150%

  
 If Valero’s TSR
is the highest achieved in the 1st Quartile for the Performance Period, Participant shall be awarded a number of
shares of Common Stock equal to 200% of the Performance Shares that vested during the Performance Period. 
  

	5.	 Termination of Employment. Except for a Change of Control (described below), if Participant’s employment is voluntarily terminated by the
Participant (other than through retirement, death or disability), or is terminated by Valero for “cause” (as defined pursuant to the Plan), then (a) those Performance Shares that have not vested or been forfeited, and for which a Normal
Vesting Date occurs on or before the 30th day following the date of such termination, may be awarded as shares of Common Stock on such Normal Vesting Date in accordance with Paragraph 4 hereof, and (b) any such Performance Shares for which a Normal
Vesting Date does not occur within such 30-day period, or that are not otherwise awarded as shares of Common Stock on a Normal Vesting Date as a result of 

  

 Page 2 

	 	 
the application of Paragraph 4, shall thereupon be forfeited. Except for a Change of Control, if a Participant’s employment is terminated through
retirement, death, or disability, or by Valero other than for cause (as determined pursuant to the Plan), then (x) those Performance Shares that have not theretofore vested or been forfeited, and for which a Normal Vesting Date occurs on or before
the 90th day following the date of such termination, shall be subject to vesting on such Normal Vesting Date in accordance with Paragraph 4 hereof, and (y) any such Performance Shares for which such a Normal Vesting Date does not occur within such
90-day period, or which otherwise do not vest on a Normal Vesting Date as a result of application of Paragraph 4, shall thereupon be forfeited. 

  

	6.	Change of Control. If a Change of Control occurs with respect to Valero, then each Performance Period with respect to any Performance Shares that have not vested or
been forfeited shall be terminated effective as of the date of such Change of Control (a “Change of Control Vesting Date”); the TSR for Valero and for each company in the Target Group shall be determined for each such shortened Performance
Period and the percentage of Performance Shares to be received by the Participant for each such Performance Period shall be determined in accordance with Paragraph 4. For purposes of determining the number of Performance Shares to be received as of
any Change of Control Vesting Date, the Target Group as most recently determined by the Compensation Committee prior to the date of the Change of Control shall be used. 

  

	7.	Plan Incorporated by Reference. The Plan is incorporated into this Agreement by this reference and is made a part hereof for all purposes. Capitalized terms not
otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning specified in the Plan. 

  

	8.	Limitation of Rights of Participant. With respect to any Performance Shares, the Participant shall not have any rights that are not expressly conferred by the Plan and
this Agreement or any other Performance Award Agreement between Valero and the Participant. 

  

	9.	No Assignment. This Agreement and the Participant’s interest in the Performance Shares granted by this Agreement are of a personal nature, and, except as
expressly permitted under the Plan, Participant’s rights with respect thereto may not be sold, mortgaged, pledged, assigned, transferred, conveyed or disposed of in any manner by Participant, except by an executor or beneficiary pursuant to a
will or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution. Any such attempted sale, mortgage, pledge, assignment, transfer, conveyance or disposition shall be void, and Valero shall not be bound thereby. 

  

	10.	Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon any successors of Valero and upon the beneficiaries, legatees, heirs, administrators, executors, legal
representatives, successors and permitted assigns of Participant.

adequately represent, the interests of the indemnified parties, and has provided the indemnifying party with timely notice of such determination, and then only to the extent that such expenses are reasonable), to participate in such contest and
defense and to be represented by attorneys of its or their own 

  

 -16- 

	 	    	choosing. If the notifying party elects to participate in such defense, the notifying party will cooperate with the indemnifying party in the conduct of such defense. Neither the
notifying party nor the indemnifying party may concede, settle or compromise any Claim without the consent of the other party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed in light of all factors of importance to such party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the indemnifying party fails to acknowledge in writing its obligation to provide indemnification in respect of such Claim, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the notifying party or
to diligently contest and defend such Claim, then the notifying party alone shall be entitled to contest, defend and settle such Claim in the first instance (in which case, all expenses incurred in connection therewith shall constitute Damages) and,
only if the notifying party chooses not to contest, defend or settle such Claim, the indemnifying party shall then have the right to contest and defend (but not settle) such Claim. 

  

	 	(d)	In the event any indemnified party shall have a claim against any indemnifying party that does not involve a Claim, the indemnified party shall deliver a written notice of such
claim to the indemnifying party with reasonable promptness, and in any event no later than the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar quarter following the quarter in which the indemnified party identifies such claim, and (ii) April 15, 2005.
The failure to give such notice shall not affect whether an indemnifying party is liable for reimbursement unless such failure has resulted in the loss of substantive rights with respect to the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such claim,
and then only to the extent of such loss. If the indemnifying party notifies the indemnified party that it does not dispute the claim described in such notice, the Damages in the amount specified in the indemnified party’s notice will be
conclusively deemed a liability of the indemnifying party and the indemnifying party shall pay the amount of such Damages to the indemnified party on demand. 

  

	 	(e)	Any claim for indemnity under this Section 4.2 (an “Indemnification Claim”) shall be delivered in writing to the indemnifying party and set forth with reasonable
specificity as to the amount claimed and the underlying facts supporting such claim, and enclose any relevant material documentation in the indemnified party’s possession, such as petitions or subpoenas received by the indemnified party. The
indemnifying party shall have fifteen (15) days to accept or dispute such Indemnification Claim. 

  

	 	(f)	The foregoing indemnification provisions are each party’s exclusive remedy for any breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement under this Agreement.

  

	 	(g)	For purposes of determining whether there has been with respect to any item, matter or occurrence a breach of a particular representation or warranty made hereunder, no effect shall
be given to any limitation as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” or “Purchaser Material Adverse Effect” set forth in any such representation or warranty, other than the materiality standard used in Sections
2.19 and 3.12. An indemnifying party shall have no liability with respect to any Indemnification Claim under this Agreement until the aggregate Damages with respect to any and all items, matters and occurrences paid, incurred or properly accrued by
the indemnified party exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) (the “Threshold Amount”), whereupon only the amount of such Damages in excess of the Threshold Amount shall be paid by the indemnifying party. So long as Seller is in
compliance with its obligations pursuant to Section 1.11 hereof, Seller’s indemnification obligations under 

  

 -17- 

	 	    	Section 4.2(a) shall not exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in excess of any amounts paid to or on behalf of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties by Seller’s insurance
carriers. 

  

	 	(h)	In no event will any party be liable for any indirect, special or consequential Damages relating to, in connection with or arising out of this Agreement. 

 

	 	(i)	Further, and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, including without limitation the exclusivity provision contained in Section 4.2(f) and the dollar
limitations set forth in Section 4.2(g), each of Seller and Purchaser agrees to promptly reimburse or directly pay on behalf of the other party, upon demand, the amounts set forth in this Section 4.2(i). Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for, or
directly pay to Macerich, any “Rent” (including without limitation, “Fixed Minimum Rent,” “Percentage Rent” and “Additional Rent” (in each case as such capitalized terms are defined in the Ventura Lease))
which (i) is outstanding and unpaid as of the Closing Date, or (ii) as a result of any adjustment provided for in the Ventura Lease, may become due thereunder as a result of any insufficient payment(s) of any sum(s) previously paid by Seller.
Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for, or directly pay to Macerich, all amounts constituting Assumed Liabilities under the Ventura Lease. Seller and Purchaser each agree to hold the other harmless from and indemnify the other against all Damages
resulting from any claims that may be asserted against Macerich by any Broker with whom Seller or Purchaser, respectively, has, or purportedly has, dealt with in connection with the assignment of the Ventura Lease. 

  
 4.3 Complete Agreement. This Agreement, including the Exhibits and
Schedules hereto, constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all other prior and contemporaneous agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, between the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement (a) is not
intended to confer upon any Person any rights or remedies hereunder or with respect to the subject matter hereof except as specifically provided in this Agreement; and (b) may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to
be an original, but all of which counterparts shall together constitute a single agreement. Facsimile signatures shall be fully binding and effective for all purposes as if they were original signatures. 
  
 4.4 Expenses. All costs and expenses, other than those described in
Sections 1.8 and 4.2 hereof, including but not limited to legal and accounting costs and expenses, incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiation and execution thereof shall be paid by
the party or parties incurring the same. 
  
 4.5 Further
Action. Seller hereby agrees that, from time to time after the Closing, at Purchaser’s request and without further consideration, Seller shall execute and deliver such other instrument of conveyance, assignment and transfer and take such
other action as Purchaser reasonably may require to more effectively convey, transfer to and invest in Purchaser, and to put Purchaser in possession of, all of the Assets. Each Seller irrevocably appoints Purchaser as its attorney-in-fact to execute
and deliver such instruments necessary or convenient to convey, transfer to and invest title in Purchaser, and to put Purchaser in possession of, all of the Assets. 
  
 4.6 Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and
shall be deemed to have been received five business days after

 4.8 Mediation. In the event that any dispute relating to or arising out of this Agreement, or any
document delivered in connection herewith (“Dispute”), cannot be settled or compromised within twenty (20) days of receipt of the subject claim, the Dispute shall be submitted to mediation on an expedited basis in Los Angeles, California,
administered by JAMS, or its successor, in accordance with the JAMS rules and procedures then in effect. Either party may commence mediation by providing to JAMS and the other party a written request for mediation, setting forth the subject of the
Dispute and the relief requested, with the expectation that the first mediation shall occur within thirty (30) days of such written request. Purchaser and Seller will cooperate with JAMS and with one another in selecting a neutral mediator from the
JAMS panel of neutrals and in scheduling the mediation proceedings. The mediator must be a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in Los Angeles, California and experienced with the subject matter of the Dispute. If the parties are
unable to select the mediator, JAMS shall designate the mediator. Purchaser and Seller covenant that they will participate in the mediation in good faith and that they will share equally in the costs of the mediator and related JAMS administrative
costs. All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the mediation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, experts and attorneys, and by the mediator and any JAMS employees, are confidential,
privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any arbitration, litigation or other proceeding involving the parties, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or
non-discoverable as a result of its use in the mediation. Either party may seek equitable relief in the Superior Court situated in Los Angeles, California prior to the mediation to preserve the status quo pending the completion of that process. In
the event it is necessary, any party may file a motion in such Superior Court to compel the other party to participate in the mediation and the prevailing party shall be awarded its costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees in
connection with such motion. If the Dispute is not resolved within ten (10) days after the first mediation session, either party may (i) give written notice to JAMS and the other party that the mediation is terminated and (ii) commence a court
action. 
  
 4.9 Remedies. In addition to any remedies set
out in the specific sections of this Agreement, the parties shall be entitled to any and all legal and equitable remedies, including without limitation, injunctive relief and specific performance, to enforce this Agreement. 
  
 4.10 Attorneys’ Fees. If any litigation or arbitration shall
ensue between the parties concerning the interpretation of or performance under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall recover from the nonprevailing party or parties its reasonable attorneys’ and other fees as fixed by the court or the
arbitrator, as the case may be. 
  
 4.11 Construction of
Agreement. Any captions to, or headings of, the paragraphs of this Agreement are solely for the convenience of the parties hereto, are not a part of this Agreement, and shall not be used for the interpretation of this Agreement. Where the
context so requires, words used in any gender shall be deemed to include other genders, and the singular number shall include the plural and vice versa. The Recitals appearing at the beginning of this Agreement, and the Exhibits and Schedules
attached hereto, are hereby incorporated into and are deemed to constitute a part of the operative text of this Agreement. Each party hereto and such party’s counsel have had the full opportunity to review and comment upon, and have reviewed
and commented upon, this Agreement, and any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities 
  

 -20- 

 are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not apply in the interpretation of this Agreement or any Exhibits or
Schedules attached hereto. 
  
 4.12 Severability. Each
provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only
to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. 
  
 4.13 Assignment; Successors and Assigns. Neither party may assign its rights hereunder without the other party’s prior written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that Purchaser may assign its rights hereunder without Seller’s consent to any affiliate of Purchaser. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 4.13 shall be void and of no effect. 
  
 4.14 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of each and every term, condition, obligation, and provision hereof. All
references herein to a particular time of day shall be deemed to refer to Pacific Standard Time. 
  
 4.15 No Obligations to Third Parties. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall not be
deemed to confer any rights upon, nor obligate any of the parties hereto to, any person or entity other than the parties hereto. 
  
 4.16 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without reference to
any principles or statutes of conflicts of laws.

	 	(e)	“Loss” means any amount that an Indemnitee is required or otherwise obligated to pay as a result of any Proceeding, including, without limitation, (a) all
judgments, Fines and amounts paid or payable in settlement, (b) all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection therewith, and (c) any federal, state, local or foreign taxes imposed 

  

 1 

	 	    	(net of the value to Indemnitee of any tax benefits resulting from tax deductions or otherwise as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under this Agreement).

  

	 	(f)	“Proceeding” includes any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, claim, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry,
administrative hearing or any other actual, threatened or completed proceeding, whether brought by or in the right of the Company or otherwise and whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which the Indemnitee was, is or will be
involved as a party or otherwise, by reason of the fact of Caruso’s Status. 

  
 2. Indemnity. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Caruso, CAH, its officers, directors, members, managers, attorneys and
representatives (each an “Indemnitee”) from and against any Loss or Expense arising out of or resulting from any Proceeding brought or threatened against an Indemnitee directly, indirectly or derivatively by or on behalf of any
shareholder, officer, director, creditor or investor in the Company, but only to the extent arising out of or resulting from Caruso’s participation or interest in the Sale (“Status”). In furtherance of the foregoing
indemnification, and without limiting the generality thereof, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section 2 if the Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any
Proceeding. Pursuant to this Section 2, an Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses and Losses actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee or on his, her or its behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or
matter therein. 
  
 3. Contribution in the Event of Joint
Liability. Whether or not the indemnification provided in Section 2 hereof is available, in respect of any threatened, pending or completed claim or Proceeding in which the Company is Determined to be jointly and severally liable with the
Indemnitee, the Company shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount of any judgment or settlement of such Proceeding without requiring the Indemnitee to contribute to such payment and the Company hereby waives and relinquishes any right of
contribution it may have against the Indemnitee. The Company shall not enter into any settlement of any Proceeding in which the Company is Determined to be jointly and severally liable with the Indemnitee unless such settlement provides for a full
and final release of all claims asserted against the Indemnitee. 
  
 4. Indemnification for Expenses of a Witness. To the extent that an Indemnitee is a witness in any Proceeding to which the Indemnitee is not a party, he shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by
him or on his behalf in connection therewith. 
  
 5.
Advancement of Expenses. The Company shall advance all Expenses incurred or reasonably anticipated to be incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding by reason of Caruso’s Status within five (5) days after
the receipt by the Company of a request, statement or statements from the Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such request, statement or statements shall
reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred or reasonably anticipated to be incurred by the Indemnitee. The obligation of the Company to advance 
  

 2 

 Expenses pursuant to this Section 5 shall be subject to the condition that if, when and to the extent a Determination is
made as provided in Section 7(e) hereunder that the Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified as provided therein, then the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Indemnitee for all amounts theretofore paid in advance. In any
event, the obligation of the Indemnitee to reimburse the Company for advances shall be unsecured and no interest shall be charged thereon. 
  
 6. Limitations. 
  

	 	(a)	The indemnity obligation set forth in Section 2 and the obligation of the Company to advance Expenses pursuant to Section 5 herein shall apply only to the extent that the
Indemnitee has not been indemnified or reimbursed pursuant to any D&O Insurance or otherwise; provided, however, that notwithstanding the availability of such other indemnification, the Indemnitee may claim indemnification and an advance of
Expenses pursuant to this Agreement by assigning to the Company, at its request, the Indemnitee’s claims under such insurance or other arrangement to the extent the Indemnitee has been paid by the Company. 

	 	(b)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event will the Company be liable for consequential Losses relating to, in connection with or arising out of
this Agreement. 

	 	(c)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall have no obligation to indemnify an Indemnitee for or hold an Indemnitee harmless from any Loss or
Expense for which indemnification therefor has been Determined to be prohibited by law. 

	 	(d)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall have no obligation to indemnify an Indemnitee for or hold an Indemnitee harmless from any Loss or
Expense to the extent that such Loss or Expense is based upon or attributable to, or results from, any matter, item or event for which CAH is obligated to indemnify the Company under the Asset Purchase Agreement. 

  
 7. Indemnification Procedures. 
  

	 	(a)	After receipt by the Indemnitee of notice of the commencement, or the threat of commencement, of any Proceeding, or upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena,
complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification hereunder, the Indemnitee shall, if indemnification with respect thereto may be sought from the Indemnitee under this
Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement or threat thereof as soon as practicable and in any event within thirty (30) days after the Indemnitee receives notice thereof (but, in all events, at least twenty (20) business days prior to the
date that the first answer or response in such Proceeding is due to be filed). The failure to give such notice shall not affect whether the Company is liable for indemnification hereunder unless such failure has prejudiced the Company’s defense
of such Proceeding. 

  

 3 

	 	(b)	The Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of any Proceeding to the insurers under any then-effective D&O Insurance in accordance with the procedures set
forth in the respective policies in favor of the Indemnitee. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary and desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all Losses and Expenses payable as a result of such
Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies. 

  

	 	(c)	To the extent the Company does not, at the time of the commencement, or the threat of commencement, of any Proceeding, have applicable D&O Insurance, or if any or all
insurers under then-effective D&O Insurance shall fail for any reason to pay part or all of the Expenses of such Proceeding to an Indemnitee as and when incurred by the Indemnitee (whether in advance of the final disposition thereof or
otherwise), the Company shall be obligated to and shall pay the Expenses of any such Proceeding (or any part thereof not paid by the insurers under then-effective D&O Insurance) as and when incurred by the Indemnitee (whether in advance of the
final disposition thereof or otherwise) if so requested by the Indemnitee pursuant to Section 5 hereof. The Company may contest and defend the Proceeding so long as it diligently contests and defends the Proceeding. Notice of the Company’s
intention to contest and defend shall be given by the Company to the Indemnitee within twenty (20) business days after the Indemnitee delivers notice of the Proceeding (but, in all events, at least ten (10) business days prior to the date that the
first answer or other response in such Proceeding is due to be filed). Such contest and defense shall be conducted by reputable attorneys employed by the Company and approved by the Indemnitee (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed). The Indemnitee shall be entitled, at its own cost and expense (which expense shall not constitute Expenses hereunder unless the Indemnitee reasonably determines that the Company is not adequately representing or, because of a conflict of
interest, may not adequately represent, the interests of the Indemnitee, and has provided the Company with timely notice of such determination, and then only to the extent that such Expenses are reasonable), to participate in such contest and
defense and to be represented by attorneys of its or his own choosing. If the Indemnitee elects to participate in such defense, the Indemnitee will cooperate with the Company in the conduct of such defense. Neither the Company nor the Indemnitee may
concede, settle or compromise any Proceeding without the consent of the other party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed in light of all factors of importance to such party. 

  

	 	(d)	All payments on account of the Company’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement shall be made within twenty (20) business days of the Indemnitee’s written
request therefor; provided that all payments on account of the Company’s obligations under Section 7(c) or Section 5 of this Agreement prior to the final disposition of any Proceeding shall be made within five (5) business days of the
Indemnitee’s written request therefor, subject to Section 7(e) of this Agreement. If such payment is not made within twenty (20) business days of the Indemnitte’s written request, the right to indemnification as provided by this Agreement
shall be enforceable by the Indemnitee in any court of competent jurisdiction. An Indemnitee’s Expenses incurred in connection with any Proceeding concerning his or its right to indemnification or advances in whole or in part pursuant to this
Agreement shall also be indemnified by the Company in the event it is Determined that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification in such Proceeding. 

  

 4 

	 	(e)	Each Indemnitee agrees that such Indemnitee shall reimburse the Company for all Losses and Expenses paid by the Company in connection with any Proceeding in the event and
only to the extent that a Determination shall have been made that any indemnification hereunder is unlawful. 

  
 8. Non-Exclusivity; Subrogation. 
  

	 	(a)	The rights of indemnification and advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the Indemnitee may at any
time be entitled. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy. 

  

	 	(b)	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 the 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. 

  
 9. Duration of Agreement; Survival of Rights. All agreements and
obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue so long as the Indemnitee shall be subject to any Proceeding by reason of Caruso’s Status, whether or not he is acting or serving in any such capacity at the time any Loss 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 or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company), assigns, spouses, heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives. This Agreement shall continue in effect
regardless of whether the Indemnitee continues to serve as a director of the Company. 
  
 10. Enforcement. 
  

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

  
 11. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, illegal
or otherwise unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such
provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself 
  

 5 

 invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to
the fullest extent permitted by law; and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby. 
  
 12. Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification, termination or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by
both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver. 

 
 13. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other
communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been received five business days after having been deposited in the United States mail and enclosed in a registered or certified post-paid envelope; at the open of
business on the next succeeding business day after having been sent by overnight courier; when scanned by telegraphic communications equipment of the sending party on a business day, or otherwise at the open of business on the next succeeding
business day; or when personally delivered on a business day or otherwise at the open of business on the next succeeding business day; and, in each case, addressed to the respective parties at the addresses stated below, or to such other changed
addresses that the parties may have fixed by notice in accordance herewith.
