EXECUTION VERSION 

VOTING AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT 

This Voting and Support Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of January 30, 2017, by and among
Keysight Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Ixia, a California corporation (the “Company”), and the shareholders of the Company set forth on Schedule A hereto (each a
“Shareholder” and, collectively the “Shareholders”, and together with Parent and the Company, the “parties”). 

WHEREAS, Parent and the Company have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as it may be amended from
time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), which provides, among other things, for the merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent to be formed promptly after the date hereof (“Merger Sub”) with and into the Company
(the “Merger”), with the Company to survive the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement (capitalized terms used herein without definition shall
have the respective meanings specified in the Merger Agreement); 
 WHEREAS, each Shareholder beneficially owns (as such term is used in
Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) the number of shares of common stock, without par value, of the Company (“Common Stock”) set forth opposite such Shareholder’s name on Schedule A
hereto as of the date hereof (the “Existing Shares”); and 
 WHEREAS, as a condition to the willingness of Parent to enter
into the Merger Agreement and as an inducement and in consideration therefor, each Shareholder is entering into this Agreement. 
 NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, intending to be legally bound, the parties
hereto agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 

VOTING; GRANT AND APPOINTMENT OF PROXY 

Section 1.1       Voting.  From and after the date hereof until the earliest to occur
of (a) the Effective Time, (b) the termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to and in compliance with the terms therein, (c) the Board of Directors of the Company effecting a Company Adverse Recommendation Change and (d) the
entry without the prior written consent of the Shareholders into any amendment or modification of the Merger Agreement, or any written waiver of the Company’s rights under the Merger Agreement made in connection with a request from Parent, in
each case, which results in a decrease in, or change in the composition of, the Merger Consideration payable to any Shareholder (such earliest date, the “Expiration Date”), each Shareholder irrevocably and unconditionally hereby
agrees that at any meeting (whether annual or special and each adjourned or postponed meeting) of the Company’s shareholders, however called, or in connection with any written consent of the Company’s shareholders, the Shareholder will
(i) appear at such meeting or otherwise cause all of its Existing Shares and other shares of Common Stock over which it has acquired beneficial ownership after the date hereof 

 
(including any shares of Common Stock acquired by means of purchase, dividend or distribution, or issued upon the exercise of any stock options, warrants or other rights to acquire Common Stock
or the conversion of any convertible securities or otherwise) (collectively, the “New Shares”, and together with the Existing Shares, the “Shares”), which it beneficially owns as of the applicable record date, to be
counted as present at the meeting for purposes of calculating a quorum and (ii) vote or cause to be voted (including by proxy or written consent, if applicable) all such Shares (A) in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement and the
principal terms of the Merger, (B) in favor of any proposal to adjourn or postpone such meeting of the Company’s shareholders to a later date if such adjournment or postponement is (1) with the written consent of Parent, (2) for
the absence of a quorum, (3) to allow additional solicitation of votes in order to obtain the Company Shareholder Approval, or (4) as required by Law (in each such case only for a period of not more than thirty (30) calendar days,
individually or in the aggregate, and not past two (2) Business Days prior to the End Date), (C) against any action, proposal, transaction or agreement in favor of an Acquisition Proposal, including a Superior Proposal, without regard to the
terms of such Acquisition Proposal or Superior Proposal, (D) against any merger, consolidation, business combination, sale of assets, reorganization or recapitalization of or involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (E) against
any sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (F) against any reorganization, recapitalization, extraordinary dividend, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries, (G) against any material change in the capitalization of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or the corporate structure of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (H) to the extent submitted to a shareholder
vote, against any change in the business management or Board of Directors of the Company (other than as directed by Parent) and (I) against any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that is intended to or would (1) result in an
inaccuracy of any representation or warranty, or a breach of any covenant, or any other obligation or agreement, of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement, or of a Shareholder contained in this Agreement, or (2) prevent, materially
impede, materially delay or otherwise materially and adversely affect the Company’s, Parent’s or Merger Sub’s ability to timely consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger (clauses
(A) through (I), the “Required Votes”). Except as explicitly set forth in this Section 1.1, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of each Shareholder to vote (including by proxy or written
consent, if applicable) in favor of, against or abstain with respect to any other matters presented to the Company’s shareholders. 

Section 1.2       Grant of Irrevocable Proxy; Appointment of Proxy. 

(a) From and after the date hereof until the Expiration Date, each Shareholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally grants to, and
appoints, Parent and any designee thereof as such Shareholder’s proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution) in accordance with Section 705(e) of
the California General Corporation Law, for and in the name, place and stead of such Shareholder, to vote or cause to be voted (including by proxy or written consent, if applicable) the Shares owned by such Shareholder as of the applicable record
date in accordance with the Required Votes; provided that each Shareholder’s grant of the proxy contemplated by this Section 1.2 shall be effective if, and only if, such Shareholder has not delivered to the
Company prior to the meeting at which any of the matters described in Section 1.1 are to be considered, a duly executed irrevocable proxy card directing that the Shares of such Shareholder be voted in accordance with the Required
Votes; provided, 

  
 2 

 
further, that any grant of such proxy shall only entitle Parent or its designee to vote on the matters specified by Section 1.1(ii), and each Shareholder shall retain the authority
to vote on all other matters.  
 (b) Each Shareholder hereby represents that any proxies heretofore given in respect of the Shares,
if any, are revocable, and hereby revokes all such proxies. 
 (c) Each Shareholder hereby affirms that the irrevocable proxy set forth in
this Section 1.2, if it becomes effective, is given in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, and that such irrevocable proxy is given to secure the performance of the duties of such Shareholder under this
Agreement. The parties hereby further affirm that the irrevocable proxy, if it becomes effective, is coupled with an interest and is intended to be irrevocable until the Expiration Date, at which time it will terminate automatically, and any
underlying appointment shall automatically be revoked and rescinded and of no force and effect, in each case without further action by any party. The proxy granted by the Shareholders herein shall survive the dissolution, bankruptcy, death or
incapacity of any Shareholder. If for any reason any proxy granted herein is not irrevocable after it becomes effective, then the Shareholder granting such proxy agrees, until the Expiration Date, to vote, or to cause the holder of record on any
applicable record date to vote, the Shares in accordance with the Required Votes. The parties agree that the foregoing is a voting agreement. 

Section 1.3       Restrictions on Transfers. 

(a) Absent the prior written consent of Parent (which consent may be granted or withheld in Parent’s sole discretion), each Shareholder
hereby agrees that, from the date hereof until the Expiration Date, it shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) sell, transfer, assign, tender in any tender or exchange offer, pledge, encumber, hypothecate or similarly dispose of (by merger, by
testamentary disposition, by operation of applicable Law or otherwise) (a “Transfer”), either voluntarily or involuntarily, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding providing for the Transfer of any Shares
(or any Rights attached thereto, or any economic interests therein), (ii) deposit any Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto, or (iii) agree
(whether or not in writing) to take any of the actions prohibited by the foregoing clause (i) or (ii). Any purported Transfer of Shares inconsistent with this Section 1.3 shall be null and void. 

(b) The restrictions set forth in Section 1.3(a) shall not apply to: (i) in the case of any Shareholder that is a natural person,
any Transfer of Shares by will or the laws of intestacy, or (ii) the Transfer of some or all Shares to any trust, partnership, corporation or limited liability company established and held for the direct or indirect benefit of the Shareholder
or his family members; provided that, in each case, the transferee shall concurrently with such Transfer execute a customary joinder in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent agreeing to be a “Shareholder” hereunder if such
transferee is not already a party to this Agreement, and to perform all obligations as a Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Shares. 

  
 3 

 Section 1.4       Inconsistent
Agreements.  Each Shareholder hereby covenants and agrees that, except for this Agreement, it (a) shall not enter into at any time while this Agreement remains in effect, any voting agreement or voting trust with respect to the
Shares and (b) shall not grant at any time while this Agreement remains in effect a proxy, consent or power of attorney with respect to the Shares. 

ARTICLE II 
 NO SOLICITATION 

Section 2.1       No Solicitation. 

(a) Prior to the Expiration Date, each Shareholder (in its capacity as a shareholder of the Company) shall not, and shall cause (if
applicable) each of its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers or employees not to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their other Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit,
initiate, knowingly encourage, or knowingly facilitate any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, expression of interest, proposal, offer or request for information that would reasonably be expected to lead to or result in an Acquisition Proposal, or
the making or consummation thereof, (ii) other than to inform any Person of the existence of the provisions contained in this Section 2.1, enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or
furnish to any Person any information in connection with, or enter into any Contract or other agreement or understanding with respect to, any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, expression of interest, proposal, offer or request for information
that would reasonably be expected to lead to or result in an Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) resolve or agree to do any of the foregoing; provided that nothing herein shall prohibit any Shareholder or any of its Affiliates or
Representatives from participating in any discussions or negotiations with respect to such Shareholder’s willingness to enter into a voting agreement in connection with an Acquisition Proposal to the extent that the Company becomes permitted to
take the actions set forth in clause (i) and clause (ii) of Section 5.02(b) of the Merger Agreement with respect to such Acquisition Proposal. Other than subject to the proviso in the foregoing sentence, from and after the execution of
this Agreement, each Shareholder shall, and shall cause (if applicable) each of its Affiliates and direct its and their respective Representatives to immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any
Person conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, expression of interest, proposal, offer or request for information that would reasonably be expected to lead to or result in an Acquisition Proposal. 

(b) Prior to the Expiration Date, each Shareholder shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours following the date of receipt) advise
Parent and the Company in writing in the event that it or any of its Affiliates, any of its or its Affiliates’ officers, directors or employees or, to the Shareholders’ knowledge, any of its or its Affiliates’ other Representatives
receives any Acquisition Proposal, and in connection with such notice, provide to Parent and the Company the material terms and conditions (including the identity of the third party making any such Acquisition Proposal, indication or request, and
copies of any related documentation, including any related financing commitments) of any such Acquisition Proposal. 
 (c) For purposes of
this Agreement, the term “Affiliate” shall have the meaning assigned to it in the Merger Agreement; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be deemed to be an Affiliate of any of the Shareholders.

Section 5.5       Assignment.  Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights,
interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned or delegated (including by sale of stock, operation of applicable Law in connection with a merger or sale of substantially all the assets) by any of the parties hereto without the prior written

 9 

 Section 5.8       No Third-Party
Beneficiaries.  Each Shareholder and Parent agrees that (a) its representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein are solely for the benefit of Parent (in the case of a Shareholder) or each Shareholder (in the
case of Parent), in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, and (b) this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder, including the right
to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth herein. 

Section 5.9       Jurisdiction; Specific Enforcement; Waiver of Trial by Jury. 

(a)      Each party hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal court in the Central District
of California and any appellate courts therefrom, or if that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (the “Chosen
Courts”), for any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination or validity thereof. Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection that it
may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceedings brought in such court. Each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or argue in any such court (i) that it is not personally
subject to the jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for any reason other than the failure to serve process in accordance with applicable Law, (ii) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts or from any legal
process commenced in the Chosen Courts (including but not limited to service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise), and (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Law that (X) the suit, action, or proceeding in the Chosen Courts is brought in an inconvenient forum, (Y) the venue of such suit, action, or proceeding is improper, and (Z) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may
not be enforced in or by the Chosen Courts. Each party agrees that notice or the service of process in any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be properly served or delivered if delivered
in the manner contemplated by Section 5.3 or in any other manner permitted by applicable Law. 

(b)      EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 

Section 5.10     Specific Performance; Remedies.  Each of the Shareholders agrees and
acknowledges that irreparable harm would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Each of the Shareholders accordingly agrees that, without
posting bond or other undertaking, Parent shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of competent
jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. In the event that any such action is brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no Shareholder will allege, and each
Shareholder hereby waives the defense or counterclaim, that there is an adequate remedy at law. 

  
 10 

 Section 5.11      Governing Law.  This
Agreement and any Actions arising out of or related to this Agreement or to the inducement of any party hereto to enter into this Agreement (whether for breach of contract, tortious conduct or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute
or otherwise) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the applicable Law of the State of Delaware, including all matters of construction, validity and performance, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such State that would
refer a matter to the laws of another jurisdiction; provided that matters relating to the Merger and the exercise of the dissenters’ rights shall be governed by the applicable Law of the State of California. 

Section 5.12      Non-Survival of Representations and
Warranties. The representations and warranties of the Shareholders contained herein shall not survive the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Merger Agreement. 

Section 5.13      Headings.  Headings of the Articles and Sections of this Agreement are
for convenience of the parties only and shall be given no substantive or interpretive effect whatsoever. 

Section 5.14      Interpretation.  When a reference is made in this Agreement to an
Article, Section or Schedule, such reference shall be to an Article, Section or Schedule of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this
Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this
Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires. The word “extent” and the phrase “to the extent” when used in this Agreement shall mean the degree to which a
subject or other thing extends, and such word or phrase shall not mean simply “if”. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the
feminine and neuter genders of such term. References in this Agreement to specific laws or to specific provisions of laws shall include all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and any statute defined or referred to herein or in any
agreement or instrument referred to herein shall mean such statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including by succession of comparable successor statutes. Each of the parties has participated in the drafting and negotiation
of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement must be construed as if it is drafted by all the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue
of authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. 

Section 5.15      Counterparts.  This Agreement may be signed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof
signed by all of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party hereto has received a counterpart hereof signed by each other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether
by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication). 

  
 11 

 
Signatures to this Agreement transmitted by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in PDF form, or by any other electronic means designed to preserve the original graphic and pictorial
appearance of a document, will be deemed to have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing the original signatures. 

Section 5.16      Severability.  Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid
or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement in any other
jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, such provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is unenforceable and a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry
out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision. 

Section 5.17      No Agreement as Director or Officer.  Notwithstanding any provision of
this Agreement to the contrary, each Shareholder has entered into this Agreement in its capacity as a shareholder of the Company, and nothing in this Agreement shall limit, restrict or otherwise affect the ability of any Shareholder who is a
director or officer of the Company to act, refrain from acting or vote on any matter, in each case, in his or her capacity as a director or officer of Company, or be construed to prohibit, limit or restrict such Shareholder who is a director or
officer of the Company from exercising his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer to the Company or its shareholders under applicable Law, including by causing the Company to exercise its rights under the Merger Agreement. 

Section 5.18      Liability. The rights and obligations of each of the Shareholders under this
Agreement shall be several and not joint. All references to actions to be taken by the Shareholders, or representations and warranties to be made, under this Agreement refer to actions to be taken or representations and warranties to be made by
Shareholders acting severally and not jointly. Except for any liability for claims, losses, damages, liabilities or other obligations arising out of a Shareholder’s breach of or inaccuracy in its representations and warranties hereunder or
failure to perform its obligations hereunder, Parent agrees that no Shareholder (in its capacity as a shareholder of Company) will be liable for claims, losses, damages, liabilities or other obligations resulting from or relating to the Merger
Agreement, including any breach by Company of the Merger Agreement, and that Company shall not be liable for claims, losses, damages, liabilities or other obligations resulting from or related to any Shareholder’s breach of or inaccuracy in its
representations and warranties hereunder or failure to perform its obligations hereunder. Except for (i) any liability for claims, losses, damages, liabilities or other obligations arising out of Parent’s breach of or inaccuracy in its
representations and warranties hereunder or failure to perform its obligations hereunder and (ii) such Shareholder’s right to enforce the provisions of Section 5.06 (in his or her capacity as an Indemnified Party as defined in the
Merger Agreement) and Article 2 of the Merger Agreement in accordance with Section 8.06 of the Merger Agreement, each Shareholder agrees that Parent will not be liable to such Shareholder for claims, losses, damages, liabilities or other
obligations resulting from or relating to the Merger Agreement. 
 Section 5.19      No Ownership
Interest. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in any other person any direct or indirect ownership or incident of ownership of 

  
 12 

 
or with respect to any Existing Shares. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Existing Shares shall remain vested in and belong to the holder thereof, and no other
person shall have any authority to exercise any power or authority to direct any Shareholder in the voting of any of the Existing Shares except as provided in this Agreement.

INDEMNITY AGREEMENT 
  

THIS INDEMNITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the     th day
of                     , 20     by and between Ixia, a California corporation (the “Company”), and
                                        
(the “Indemnitee”). 
 RECITALS 

A.        The Company recognizes that competent and experienced individuals are
reluctant to serve as directors or officers of corporations unless they are protected by comprehensive liability insurance or indemnification, or both, due to increased exposure to litigation costs and risks resulting from their service to such
corporations, and due to the fact that the exposure frequently bears no reasonable relationship to the compensation of such directors and officers. 

B.        The Company and the Indemnitee are aware of the substantial growth in the
number of lawsuits filed against corporate officers and directors in connection with their activities in such capacities and by reason of their status as such. 

C.        The statutes and judicial decisions regarding the duties of directors and
officers are often difficult to apply, ambiguous or conflicting, and therefore fail to provide such directors and officers with adequate or reliable advance knowledge or guidance with respect to the legal risks and potential liabilities to which
they may become personally exposed, or information regarding the proper course of action to take in performing their duties in good faith. 

D.        The Company and the Indemnitee recognize that plaintiffs often seek damages
in such large amounts and the costs of litigation may be so enormous (whether or not meritorious) that the defense and/or settlement of such litigation is often beyond the financial resources of officers and directors. 

E.        The Company believes that it is unfair for its directors and officers and
the directors and officers of its affiliates to assume risk of huge judgments and other expenses which may occur in cases in which the director or officer received no personal profit and in cases where the director or officer was not culpable. 

F.        The Company, after reasonable investigation, has determined that the
liability insurance coverage presently available to the Company and its affiliates may be inadequate. The Company believes that the interests of the Company and its shareholders would best be served by a combination of such insurance as the Company
and its affiliates now have or may hereafter obtain and indemnification by the Company of the directors and officers of the Company and its affiliates. 

G.        Section 317 of the California Corporations Code
(“Section 317”) empowers the Company to indemnify its Agents by agreement and to indemnify persons who serve at the request of the Company as Agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, and
expressly provides that the indemnification provided by Section 317 is not exclusive of other rights to which those indemnified thereunder may be entitled under the articles of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise. 

 H.        In order to induce and
encourage highly experienced and capable individuals to serve as officers or directors of the Company and/or its affiliates, to take the business risks necessary for the success of the Company and its affiliates and to otherwise promote the
desirable end that such persons will resist what they consider unjustifiable lawsuits and claims made against them in connection with good faith performance of their duties, secure in the knowledge that certain expenses, costs and liabilities
incurred by them in their defense of such lawsuits and claims will be borne by the Company and that they will receive maximum protection against such risks and liabilities as may be afforded by law, the Board of Directors of the Company (the
“Board of Directors”) has determined, after due consideration and investigation of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the various other options available to the Company and the Indemnitee, that contractual indemnification as
set forth herein is not only reasonable and prudent, but necessary to promote and ensure the best interests of the Company, its shareholders and its affiliates. 

I.        The Company desires and has requested the Indemnitee to serve or continue to
serve as a director or an officer of the Company and/or one or more of its affiliates, as the case may be, free from undue concern for unpredictable, inappropriate or unreasonable legal risks and personal liabilities arising out of or related to
such services. 
 J.        The Indemnitee is willing to serve or continue to serve
the Company and/or its affiliates provided that the Indemnitee is furnished the indemnity provided for herein. 
 TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, promises and agreements set forth herein, the parties
hereby agree as follows: 
 1.        Definitions.    As
used in this Agreement: 
 (a)      The term “Agent” of the Company
shall mean and include any person who is or was (or is or was deemed to be) a director, officer, employee or other agent of the Company, is or was a trustee, fiduciary, administrator or functional equivalent of any Plan, is or was serving at the
request of the Company as a director, officer, employee trustee, fiduciary, administrator or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan), or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of a predecessor corporation of the Company or a trustee, fiduciary, administrator or functional equivalent of any Plan sponsored by any predecessor corporation of the Company. 

(b)      The term “Change in Control” shall mean a transaction or
series of transactions in which: (i) any “person,” as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding
securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or a corporation owned directly or indirectly by the shareholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company, is or becomes the
“beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the total voting power represented by
the Company’s then outstanding voting securities, (ii) the shareholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation or a sale of all or substantially all of the 

  
 2 

 
Company’s assets with or to another entity, other than a merger, consolidation or asset sale that would result in the holders of the Company’s outstanding voting securities immediately
prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) at least a majority of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company or such
surviving or successor entity outstanding immediately thereafter, and such merger, consolidation or sale is not abandoned or (iii) any other event of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A
of Regulation 14A (or in response to any similar item on any similar schedule or form) promulgated under the Exchange Act, whether or not the Company is then subject to such reporting requirement. 

(c)      The term “Plan” means (i) any employee benefit plan,
employee stock ownership plan, pension benefit plan or welfare benefit plan, as respectively defined by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), which was, is now, or hereafter becomes sponsored by the
Company or any subsidiary of the Company, or sponsored jointly by the Company or a subsidiary and a labor organization, solely for the benefit of the employees of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company or (ii) any other employee benefit
plan not subject to ERISA sponsored solely by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, or jointly by the Company and a subsidiary, solely for the benefit of the employees of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company. 

(d)      The term “Proceeding” shall mean and include any threatened,
pending, contemplated or completed action, suit, mediation, arbitration or proceeding, whether brought by or in the name of the Company or otherwise, whether of a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative nature and whether formal or
informal. For purposes of clarity, the term “Proceeding” shall include, but not be limited to, actions, suits, investigations or proceedings brought under and/or predicated upon the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, any similar state law and any rule or regulation promulgated under such laws, internal investigations conducted in response to a derivative demand, and actions, suits, investigations or proceedings brought by
government agencies or regulatory authorities. 
 (e)      The term
“Expenses” shall be broadly construed and shall mean and include all direct and indirect costs and expenses of any type or nature whatsoever actually and reasonably incurred, paid or accrued by the Indemnitee in connection with either the
investigation, defense or appeal of a Proceeding or establishing or enforcing a right to indemnification under this Agreement, Section 317 or otherwise, and amounts paid in judgments, fines, penalties or settlement by or on behalf of the
Indemnitee as a result of a Proceeding to the extent permitted by California law. Without limiting the foregoing and by way of example, the term “Expenses” shall include attorneys’ fees, retainers, court costs, transcripts, fees and
expenses of experts, witness fees, travel expenses (including food and lodging expenses while traveling), duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service, freight or other transportation costs, and
reasonable compensation for time spent by the Indemnitee for which the Indemnitee is not otherwise compensated by the Company or any third party (provided the rate of compensation and estimated time involved is approved in advance by the Board of
Directors). 

  
 3 

 2.        Agreement to
Serve.    Until Indemnitee resigns, is removed or replaced, or is unable to serve as Agent for the Company, Indemnitee will serve and/or continue to serve as an Agent of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing
contained in this Agreement is intended to create any right to continued employment or service by Indemnitee in any capacity. 

3.        Indemnification.    The Company shall indemnify
Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by California law in effect on the date hereof or as such law may from time to time be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only the extent such amendment permits the Company to provide broader
indemnification rights than California law permitted the Company to provide before such amendment). Such indemnification shall include, without limitation, the following: 

(a)      Indemnity in Third Party
Proceedings.    The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitee from and against all Expenses if the Indemnitee is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to or otherwise involved in any Proceeding (other
than a Proceeding by or in the name of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor) by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was an Agent of the Company or by reason of any act or failure to act by the Indemnitee in any such capacity, but
only if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct of the Indemnitee
was unlawful. The termination of any such Proceeding by judgment, order of court, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good
faith in a manner which the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company, and with respect to any criminal proceedings, that the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

 (b)      Indemnity in Derivative
Actions.    The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitee from and against all Expenses if the Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to or otherwise involved in any Proceeding by or in the
right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee was or is an Agent of the Company or by reason of any act or failure to act by the Indemnitee in any such capacity, but only if the Indemnitee acted in
good faith and in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. 

(c)      Indemnification of Expenses of Successful
Party.    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that the Indemnitee has been successful on the merits in defense of any Proceeding described in Paragraphs 4(a) or 4(b) or in defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, including without limitation the voluntary dismissal of an action by a plaintiff, dismissal of an action through the granting of a motion to dismiss (whether with or without prejudice) or motion for summary judgment
in favor of the Indemnitee, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitee from and against all Expenses in connection therewith. 

(d)      Indemnification for Expenses of a
Witness.    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitee from and against all Expenses if and whenever the Indemnitee is a witness or is

  
 4 

 
threatened to be made a witness to any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was an Agent or by reason of any alleged act or failure to
act by the Indemnitee in such capacity. 
 4.        Procedure for
Indemnification. 
 (a)      Promptly after receipt by the Indemnitee of
notice of the commencement or the threat of commencement of any Proceeding, the Indemnitee shall, if the Indemnitee believes that indemnification with respect thereto may be sought from the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company thereof.
The notice shall include documentation or information which is necessary for the determination of entitlement to indemnification and which is reasonably available to the Indemnitee. Delay in so notifying the Company shall not constitute a waiver or
release by Indemnitee of rights hereunder. 
 (b)      Any indemnification
requested by the Indemnitee under Paragraph 3 hereof shall be made no later than sixty (60) days after receipt of the written request of Indemnitee, unless a determination is made within said sixty (60) day period (i) by the
Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum thereof consisting of directors who are not parties to such Proceedings, or (ii) in the event such a quorum is not obtainable, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the
Indemnitee has not met the relevant standards for indemnification set forth in Paragraph 3. Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that
presumption by clear and convincing evidence in reaching any contrary determination. 

(c)      Notwithstanding a determination under Paragraph 4(b) above that
the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification with respect to any specific Proceeding, the Indemnitee shall have the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of California for the purpose of enforcing the
Indemnitee’s right to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, which determination shall be made de novo and the Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of a determination that he is not entitled to indemnification. The burden of
proving that indemnification is not appropriate shall be on the Company by presenting clear and convincing evidence in support of this contention. Neither the failure of the Company to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such
action that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a
defense of the action or create any presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct. 

(d)      If an initial determination is made pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in the absence of (i) a misrepresentation of a material fact by Indemnitee in the request for indemnification or (ii) a specific
finding (which has become final by a court of competent jurisdiction) that all or any part of such indemnification is expressly prohibited by law. 

(e)      The Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee against all Expenses
incurred in connection with any hearing or proceeding under this Paragraph 4 unless a court of competent jurisdiction finds that each of the claims and/or defenses of the Indemnitee in any such proceeding was frivolous or made in bad faith.

  
 5 

 5.        Advances of
Expenses.    Upon the request of the Indemnitee but subject to Paragraph 8, the Company shall advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or
appeal of any Proceeding to which the Indemnitee is a party or is threatened to be made a party or otherwise involved in by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was an Agent of the Company. 

(a)      The Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay such amounts advanced only
if, and to the extent that, it shall ultimately be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized by this Agreement. No other form of undertaking shall be required.

 (b)      The advances to be made hereunder shall be paid by the Company to
or on behalf of the Indemnitee within ten (10) days following delivery of a written request therefore by the Indemnitee to the Company. The requests shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection therewith. 

(c)      The Indemnitee’s entitlement to advancement of Expenses shall
include those incurred in connection with any Proceeding by Indemnitee seeking a determination or an adjudication pursuant to this Agreement. 

(d)      Indemnitee’s right to the advancement of Expenses hereunder is
not contingent upon or subject to any prior determination as to whether a standard of conduct has been met. Such advances shall be unsecured and interest free. Such advances shall be made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay.
Advances shall be made without regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to be indemnified, held harmless or exonerated under the other provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, within 30 days
after any request by Indemnitee for the advancement of Expenses, the Company shall, in accordance with such request (but without duplication), (a) pay directly such Expenses on behalf of Indemnitee, (b) advance to Indemnitee funds in an amount
sufficient to pay such Expenses, or (c) reimburse Indemnitee for such Expenses. 

6.        Additional Indemnification Rights; Nonexclusivity. 

(a)      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company
hereby agrees to indemnify the Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law, notwithstanding that such indemnification is not authorized by the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or by
statute. In the event of any change in any applicable law, statute or rule which narrows the right of a California corporation to indemnify a member of its board of directors or an officer, such changes, 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. 

  
 6 

 (b)      The provisions for
indemnification and advancement of Expenses contained in this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights which the Indemnitee may have under any provision of law, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, any vote of
shareholders or disinterested directors or other agreements, both as to action in the Indemnitee’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while occupying his position as an Agent of the Company, to the extent the additional
rights to indemnification are authorized in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation. 

7.        Partial Indemnification.    If the Indemnitee is
entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion, but not all, of Expenses, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which the Indemnitee is entitled.

 8.        Assumption of Defense.    In the event the
Company shall be obligated to pay the Expenses of any Proceeding against the Indemnitee, the Company, if appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Proceeding, with counsel approved by the Indemnitee (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld), upon delivery to the Indemnitee of written notice of its election to do so. After the delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by the Indemnitee, and so long as the Company is so defending the Indemnitee, the Company
will not be liable to the Indemnitee under this Agreement for any Expense relating to Indemnitee’s counsel subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee with respect to the same Proceeding, unless: 

(a)      the continued employment of separate counsel by the Indemnitee has
been previously authorized in writing by the Company; or 
 (b)      there is
or could be a conflict of interest between the Company, the Indemnitee and/or others in the conduct of any such defense such that separate counsel for the Indemnitee is appropriate or warranted. 

In the event the Company assumes the defense of any Proceeding, the Company shall not settle such Proceeding in any manner which would impose
any penalty or limitation on the Indemnitee without the Indemnitee’s written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in such Proceeding at the
Indemnitee’s expense. 
 9.        Insurance. 

(a)      Indemnitee shall not be required to exercise any rights against any
other parties (for example, under any policy of insurance) before Indemnitee seeks to enforce Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. However, if and to the extent that the Company actually advances any amounts to Indemnitee, pays any
Expenses of Indemnitee or otherwise provides any payment to or for the benefit of Indemnitee under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the full extent of such payments to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall (at the
expense of the Company) execute all papers and take all reasonable actions necessary to preserve and facilitate the Company’s assertion of such rights, including the execution of such documents as may be necessary to enable the Company to
effectively bring suit to enforce such rights; provided, however, that the Company’s subrogation to Indemnitee’s rights of recovery, including without limitation 

  
 7 

 
Indemnitee’s rights to indemnification or advancement from any other person or entity under any policy of insurance, shall be (i) limited to amounts actually paid to or for the benefit
of Indemnitee under this Agreement, and (ii) subordinate to Indemnitee’s rights to recover therefrom any unreimbursed or unpaid Expenses. 

(b)      If the Company receives from Indemnitee any notice of the commencement
of any Proceeding that constitutes a “claim” under any relevant policy of insurance, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the policy. The
Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable actions to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policy. 

(c)      The Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to maintain
in force and effect policies of insurance of substantially similar terms and conditions, or, in any case, terms and conditions materially no less advantageous with respect to coverage afforded to the Indemnitee, as those policies of insurance in
place as of the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company shall have no such obligation to obtain or maintain such insurance if the Company determines in good faith that such insurance is not reasonably available, if the premium
costs for such policies of insurance are disproportionate to the coverage afforded thereby, if the coverage provided thereby is so limited by exclusions as to provide an insufficient benefit, or if the Indemnitee is covered by a policy or policies
of insurance maintained by a subsidiary or parent of the Company. 

(d)      In the event of a Change of Control of the Company, the Company shall,
with respect to those policies of insurance then maintained by the Company providing coverage for claims based upon or arising out of the alleged actions or omissions of Indemnitee as Agent of the Company, obtain and fully pay for, or cause to be
obtained and fully paid for, non-cancellable extended reporting periods or “tail” insurance policies with claims periods of at least six (6) years from and after the effective time of such
Change in Control (a “Tail Policy”). The coverage shall be placed and serviced for the duration of its term by the Company’s then incumbent insurance broker with the Company’s then incumbent insurance carriers using the policies
that were in place at the time of the Change of Control (unless the incumbent carriers will not offer such policies, in which case the Tail Policy placed by the Company’s insurance broker shall be substantially comparable in scope and amount as
the expiring policies, and the insurance carriers for the Tail Policy shall have an AM Best rating that is the same as or better than the AM Best ratings of the expiring policies). If the Company is to be acquired and, acting in good faith and after
using commercially reasonable efforts, negotiates reasonable and customary limits on the maximum amount of the premium costs for the coverage contemplated by this Section 9(d), the Indemnitee agrees to act reasonably and in good faith if he or she
is requested to confirm to the Company that such coverage satisfies the requirements of this Section 9(d). 

10.        Exceptions to
Indemnification.    Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement: 

(a)      To indemnify or advance Expenses to the Indemnitee with respect to
Proceedings or claims initiated or brought voluntarily by the Indemnitee and not by way of 

  
 8 

 
defense (except with respect to Proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under this Agreement, Section 317, or any other statute or law), but such
indemnification or advancement of expenses may be provided by the Company in specific cases if the Board of Directors finds it to be appropriate; or 

(b)      To indemnify the Indemnitee for any Expenses incurred by the
Indemnitee with respect to any proceeding instituted by the Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions made by the Indemnitee in such proceeding was not made
in good faith or was frivolous; or 
 (c)      To indemnify the Indemnitee
under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of a Proceeding unless the Company consents in writing to such settlement (which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld); or 

(d)      To indemnify the Indemnitee on account of any Proceeding which results
in a final judgment, or agreement by the Indemnitee, that the Indemnitee must account for profits made from the purchase or sale by the Indemnitee of securities of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or similar provisions of any federal, state or local statute; or 

(e)      To indemnify Indemnitee with respect to proceedings brought by or in
the name of the Company for amounts that Indemnitee has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the Company for any matter specified in Section 204(a)(10) of the California
Corporations Code, or for amounts paid in settlement to the Company, unless and only to the extent that any court in which such Proceeding is brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that, in view of all the
circumstances of the case, the Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such Expenses as the court shall deem proper; or 

(f)      To indemnify Indemnitee for (i) any reimbursement of the Company
by Indemnitee of any bonus or incentive-based or equity-based compensation or payment of any profits realized by Indemnitee from the sale of securities of the Company, as required in each case under the Exchange Act, including any such
reimbursements under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), or Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act in connection with an accounting restatement of the
Company, (ii) the payment to the Company of profits arising from the purchase or sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or (iii) amounts for which the Indemnitee may not be indemnified
pursuant to Section 410(a) of ERISA; or 
 (g)      If a court of competent
jurisdiction shall determine in a final adjudication not subject to further appeal that any indemnification hereunder is prohibited by law.

11.        Contribution.    If the indemnification provided
pursuant to this Agreement is unavailable in whole or in part and may not be paid to Indemnitee for any reason other than those set forth in Paragraph 10, then in respect to any Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee, to
the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying and holding harmless Indemnitee, shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for Expenses, judgments, decisions of
arbitrators, fines, penalties, and/or amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, in connection with any Proceeding without requiring Indemnitee to contribute to such payment, and the Company hereby waives and relinquishes any right of contribution it
may have at any time against Indemnitee; provided, however, that such right to contribution described in this Paragraph shall terminate at the time and to the extent that the Company concludes (per the terms of this Agreement) that
(i) Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) such indemnification obligation to Indemnitee has been fully discharged by the Company. 

12.        Monetary Damages Insufficient/Specific
Performance.    The Company and Indemnitee agree that a monetary remedy for breach of this Agreement may be inadequate, impracticable and difficult of proof, and further agree that such breach may cause Indemnitee irreparable
harm. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree that Indemnitee may enforce this Agreement by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific performance hereof, without any necessity of showing actual damage or irreparable harm (having agreed that actual and
irreparable harm will result in not forcing the Company to specifically perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement) and that by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific performance, Indemnitee shall not be precluded from seeking or
obtaining any other relief to which he may be entitled. The Company and Indemnitee further agree that Indemnitee shall be entitled to such specific performance and injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions
and permanent injunctions, without the necessity of posting bonds or other undertaking in connection therewith. The Company acknowledges that in the absence of a waiver, a bond or undertaking may be required of Indemnitee by the Court, and the
Company hereby waives any such requirement of a bond or undertaking. 

13.        Duration and Interpretation of Agreement.    It
is understood that the parties hereto intend this Agreement to be interpreted, construed and enforced so as to provide indemnification to the Indemnitee to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by law. This Agreement shall continue so long
as the Indemnitee shall be subject to any possible Proceeding by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was an Agent and shall be applicable to Proceedings commenced before or after the execution of this Agreement, whether arising from acts or
omissions occurring before or after such execution. 

  
 10 

14.        Notices.    All notices or other written
communications required or permitted to be given under this Agreement must be given in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt, when provided to the parties entitled thereto by personal delivery (including delivery by
commercial services such as messengers), five business days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, and one business day after having been sent by internationally recognized overnight courier service, charges
prepaid, in each case to the following addresses (or to such other address of a party as may be designated in writing by such party to the other pursuant to this Paragraph 14):

15.        Successors.    This Agreement shall be binding
upon the Company and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and his or her heirs, executors and administrators. In the event of a Change in Control of the Company, 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 reasonably satisfactory to
Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement to the fullest extent permitted by law, but in no event to any lesser extent than the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. 

16.        Reformation/Severability.    Nothing in this
Agreement is intended to require or shall be construed as requiring the Company to do or fail to do any act in violation of applicable law. The Company’s inability, pursuant to court order, to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall
not constitute a breach of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable as provided in this Paragraph. If this Agreement or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the
Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Agreement that shall not have been invalidated, and the balance of this Agreement not so invalidated shall be enforceable in accordance
with its terms. 
 17.        No Imputation/Safe Harbor. 

(a)      The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director,
officer, agent or employee of the Company or the Company itself shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining any rights under this Agreement. 

(b)      For purposes of this Agreement, and without creating any presumption
as to a lack of good faith if the following circumstances do not exist, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company if
Indemnitee’s actions or omissions to act are taken in good faith reliance upon the records of the Company, including its financial statements, or upon information, opinions, reports or statements furnished to Indemnitee by the officers or
employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries in the course of their duties, or by committees of the Board or by any other person (including legal counsel, accountants and financial advisors) as to matters Indemnitee reasonably believes are
within such other person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company. 

  
 11 

 18.        Modification and
Waiver.    No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall
constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver. 

19.        Information Sharing.    If Indemnitee is the
subject of or is implicated in any way during an investigation, whether formal or informal, (i) the Company shall promptly notify the Indemnitee of such investigation, and (ii) the Company shall further share with Indemnitee any
information it has turned over to any third parties concerning the investigation (“Shared Information”) at the time such information is so furnished, to the extent such notification or disclosure is not prohibited by applicable law, by the
order of any court of competent jurisdiction, or by a formal order issued in writing to the Company by the applicable government or regulatory entity or agency. By executing this agreement, Indemnitee agrees that such Shared Information is material non-public information that Indemnitee is obligated to hold in confidence and may not disclose publicly; provided, however, that Indemnitee is permitted to use the Shared Information and to disclose such Shared
information to Indemnitee’s legal counsel and third parties solely in connection with defending Indemnitee from legal liability. 

20.        Subject Headings.    The subject headings of the
Paragraphs of this Agreement are included solely for purposes of convenience and reference only and shall not be deemed to explain, modify, limit, amplify or aid in the meaning, construction or interpretation of any of the provisions of this
Agreement. 
 21.        Interpretations and
Definitions.    In this Agreement whenever the context so requires, the gender includes the neuter, feminine and masculine and the number includes the singular and the plural and the words “person” and
“party” include individuals, corporations, partnerships, firms, trusts or associations. Any references to parties or Paragraphs shall be to the parties hereto and the relevant Paragraphs of this Agreement as appropriate. 

22.        Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 

23.        Supersedes any Prior Agreements.    This
Agreement supersedes and replaces any prior agreement(s) between Indemnitee and the Company pursuant to which the Company has agreed to indemnify Indemnitee with respect to his or her service as an Agent of the Company. 

24.        Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California. 

25.        Consent to Jurisdiction.  The Company and the Indemnitee
each hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of California 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 brought only in the state courts of County of Los Angeles in the State of California.
