into as of [                    ], 200[    ] by and between Tongjitang Chinese Medicines Company, a Cayman Islands

 RECITALS

 1. The Company recognizes that highly competent persons are becoming more reluctant to serve corporations as directors or in other
capacities unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance or adequate indemnification against risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their services to the corporation. 
 2. The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that the inability to attract and retain highly competent persons to
serve the Company is detrimental to the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and that it is reasonable and necessary for the Company to provide adequate protection to such persons against risks of claims and actions against them
arising out of their services to the corporation. 
 3. The Company is willing to indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, and Indemnitee is willing to serve and continue to serve the Company on the condition that he be so indemnified.

 In consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby
covenant and agree as follows:

disbursements and costs of attachment or similar bond, investigations, and any expenses paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in, participating in (including on appeal), or preparing for any of the foregoing
in, any Proceeding. 
 Indemnifiable Event means any event or occurrence that takes place either before or after the execution of this
Agreement, related to the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director or an officer of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity, or was
a director or officer of an entity that was a predecessor of the Company or another entity at the request of such predecessor entity, or related to anything done or not done by Indemnitee in any such capacity. 
 Participant means a person who is a party to, or witness or participant (including on appeal) in, a Proceeding. 

 Proceeding means any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, or any inquiry,
hearing or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other, in which Indemnitee may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise by reason of an Indemnifiable Event, including, without limitation, any
threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Company. 
  

	B.	AGREEMENT TO INDEMNIFY 

 1. General Agreement. In
the event Indemnitee was, is, or becomes a Participant in, or is threatened to be made a Participant in, a Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee from and against any and all Expenses which Indemnitee incurs or becomes obligated to
incur in connection with such Proceeding, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. 
 2. Indemnification of Expenses of
Successful Party. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits in defense of any Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter in such Proceeding, Indemnitee
shall be indemnified against all Expenses incurred in connection with such Proceeding or such claim, issue or matter, as the case may be. 
 3. Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for a portion of Expenses, but not for the total amount of Expenses, the Company shall indemnify the
Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses to which Indemnitee is entitled. 
 4. Exclusions. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement: 
 (a) to the extent that payment is
actually made to Indemnitee under a valid, enforceable and collectible insurance policy; 
 (b) in connection with a judicial action by or in
the right of the Company, in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which the Indemnitee shall have been adjudicated by final judgment in a court of law to be liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of his duty to
the Company unless and only to the extent that any court in which such action was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the Indemnitee is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such Expenses as such court shall deem proper; 
 (c) in connection with any Proceeding initiated by
Indemnitee against the Company or any director or officer of the Company, and not by way of defense, unless (i) the Company has joined in or the Board has consented to the initiation of such Proceeding; or (ii) the Proceeding is one to
enforce indemnification rights under this Agreement or any applicable law; 
 (d) for a disgorgement of profits made from the purchase and
sale by the Indemnitee of securities pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or similar provisions of any applicable U.S. state statutory law or common law; 
  

 2 

 (e) brought about by the dishonesty or fraud of the Indemnitee seeking payment hereunder; provided,
however, that the Indemnitee shall be protected under this Agreement as to any claims upon which suit may be brought against him by reason of any alleged dishonesty on his part, unless a judgment or other final adjudication thereof adverse to the
Indemnitee establishes that he committed (i) acts of active and deliberate dishonesty, (ii) with actual dishonest purpose and intent, and (iii) which acts were material to the cause of action so adjudicated; 
 (f) for any judgment, fine or penalty which the Company is prohibited by applicable law from paying as indemnity; or 
 (g) arising out of Indemnitee’s breach of an employment agreement with the Company (if any) or any other agreement with the Company or any of its
subsidiaries. 
 5. No Employment Rights. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to create in Indemnitee any right to continued
employment with the Company. 
 6. Contribution. If the indemnification provided in this Agreement is unavailable and may not be paid
to Indemnitee for any reason other than those set forth in Section 4, then the Company shall contribute to the amount of Expenses paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable by Indemnitee in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by the Indemnitee on the other hand from the transaction from which such Proceeding arose, and (ii) the relative fault of the Company on the one
hand and of the Indemnitee on the other hand in connection with the events which resulted in such Expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Indemnitee on the other
hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent the circumstances resulting in such Expenses, judgments, fines or settlement
amounts. The Company agrees that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the foregoing equitable
considerations. 
  

	C.	INDEMNIFICATION PROCESS 

 1. Notice and Cooperation By
Indemnitee. Indemnitee shall, as a condition precedent to his right to be indemnified under this Agreement, give the Company notice in writing as soon as practicable of any claim made against Indemnitee for which indemnification will or could be
sought under this Agreement, provided that the delay of Indemnitee to give notice hereunder shall not prejudice any of Indemnitee’s rights hereunder, unless such delay results in the Company’s forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses.
Notice to the Company shall be given in accordance with Section F.7 below. In addition, Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and cooperation as the Company may reasonably request. 
 2. Indemnification Payment. 
 (a)
Advancement of Expenses. Indemnitee may submit a written request to the Company requesting that the Company advance to Indemnitee all Expenses that may be reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding as such Expenses are

  

 3 

 
incurred. The Company shall, within ten business days of receiving such a written request by Indemnitee, advance all requested Expenses to Indemnitee.

 (b) Reimbursement of Expenses. To the extent Indemnitee has not requested any advanced payment of Expenses from the Company,
Indemnitee shall be entitled to receive reimbursement for the Expenses incurred in connection with a Proceeding from the Company immediately after Indemnitee makes a written request to the Company for reimbursement. 
 (c) Determination by the Reviewing Party. Notwithstanding anything foregoing to the contrary, in the event the Reviewing Party informs the Company
that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification in connection with a Proceeding under this Agreement or applicable law, the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed by Indemnitee for all the Expenses previously advanced or otherwise paid to
Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding; provided, however, that Indemnitee may bring a suit to enforce his indemnification right in accordance with Section C.3 below. 
 3. Suit to Enforce Rights. Regardless of any action by the Reviewing Party, if Indemnitee has not received full indemnification within 30 days
after making a written demand in accordance with Section C.2 above, Indemnitee shall have the right to enforce its indemnification rights under this Agreement by commencing litigation in any court of competent jurisdiction seeking a determination by
the court or challenging any determination by the Reviewing Party or any aspect of the Agreement. Any determination by the Reviewing Party not challenged by Indemnitee and any judgment entered by the court shall be binding on the Company and
Indemnitee. 
 4. Assumption of Defense. In the event the Company is obligated under this Agreement to advance any Expenses for any
Proceeding against Indemnitee, the Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Proceeding, with counsel approved by Indemnitee, upon delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election to do so. After delivery of such notice,
approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same
Proceeding, unless (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, (ii) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded, based on written advice of counsel, that there may be a conflict of interest of
such counsel retained by the Company between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense, or (iii) the Company ceases or terminates the employment of such counsel with respect to the defense of such Proceeding, in any of which
events the fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Company. At all times, Indemnitee shall have the right to employ counsel in any Proceeding at Indemnitee’s expense. 
 5. Defense to Indemnification, Burden of Proof and Presumptions. It shall be a defense to any action brought by Indemnitee against the Company to
enforce this Agreement that it is not permissible under this Agreement or applicable law for the Company to indemnify the Indemnitee for the amount claimed. In connection with any such action or any determination by the Reviewing Party or otherwise
as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement, the burden of proving such a defense or determination shall be on the Company. Neither the failure of the Reviewing Party or the Company to have made a determination prior
to the commencement of such action by Indemnitee that indemnification is proper under the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the standard 

  

 4 

 
of conduct set forth in applicable law, nor an actual determination by the Reviewing Party or the Company that Indemnitee had not met such applicable
standard of conduct shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct. 
 6. No Settlement Without Consent. The Company shall not settle any Proceeding in any manner that would impose any damage, loss, penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s prior written consent. Neither the Company
nor Indemnitee shall unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed settlement, provided that Indemnitee may withhold his consent if any proposed settlement imposes any damage, loss, penalty or limitation on Indemnitee. 
 7. Company Participation. The Company shall not be liable to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement with regard to any judicial action if
the Company was not given a reasonable and timely opportunity, at its expense, to participate in the defense of such action, unless such lack of opportunity does not result in the Company’s forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses.

 8. Reviewing Party. 
 (a) For purposes of this Agreement, the Reviewing Party with respect to each indemnification request of Indemnitee shall by (A) the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested
Directors (as hereinafter defined), or (B) if a quorum of the Board of Directors consisting of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, said Disinterested Directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion
to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee; and, if it is determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ten days after such determination. Indemnitee shall
cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or
information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any Independent Counsel or member of the Board of Directors shall act
reasonably and in good faith in making a determination under the Agreement of the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating
with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee
harmless therefrom. “Disinterested Director” means a director of the Company who is not and was not a party to the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought by Indemnitee. 
 (b) If the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel, the Independent Counsel shall be selected
as provided in this Section 8(b). The Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board of Directors, in which event the preceding sentence shall apply), and Indemnitee
shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. In either event, Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, may, within 10 days after such written notice of selection shall have been
given, deliver to the Company or to Indemnitee, as the case may be, 

  

 5 

 
a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel
so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 8(d) of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and
timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If a written objection is made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a
court has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within 20 days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Company or
Indemnitee may petition the a court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent
Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel. The Company shall pay any
and all reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel incurred by such Independent Counsel in connection with acting under this Agreement, and the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the procedures of this
Section 8(b), regardless of the manner in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed. 
 (c) In making a
determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the Reviewing Party shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance
with this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by any person, persons or entity of any determination contrary to that presumption. The termination of any Proceeding or
of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement (with or without court approval), conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of
itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with
respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. For purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is
based on the records or books of account of the Company and any other corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity of which Indemnitee is or was serving at the written request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent or
fiduciary, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers and directors of the Company or such other corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity in the course of their duties, or on the advice of
legal counsel for the Company or such other corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity or on information or records given or reports made to the Company or such other corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity by an
independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Company or such other corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity. In addition, the knowledge and/or actions, or failure to
act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Company or such other corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.
The provisions of this Section 8(c) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which the 

  

 6 

 
Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement. 
 (d) “Independent Counsel” means a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that is experienced in matters of corporation law
and neither presently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent (i) the Company or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party (other than with respect to matters concerning the Indemnitee under this Agreement,
or of other indemnitees under similar indemnification agreements), or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not
include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this
Agreement. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Counsel referred to above and to fully indemnify such counsel against any and all Expenses, claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
its engagement pursuant hereto. 
  

	D.	DIRECTOR AND OFFICER LIABILITY INSURANCE 

 1. Good Faith
Determination. The Company shall from time to time make the good faith determination whether or not it is practicable for the Company to obtain and maintain a policy or policies of insurance with reputable insurance companies providing the
officers and directors of the Company with coverage for losses incurred in connection with their services to the Company or to ensure the Company’s performance of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement. 
 2. Coverage of Indemnitee. To the extent the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing directors’ and officers’
liability insurance, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies, in accordance with its or their terms, to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any of the Company’s directors or officers. 
 3. No Obligation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to obtain or maintain any director and officer insurance
policy if the Company determines in good faith that such insurance is not reasonably available in the case that (i) premium costs for such insurance are disproportionate to the amount of coverage provided, or (ii) the coverage provided by
such insurance is limited by exclusions so as to provide an insufficient benefit. 
  

	E.	NON-EXCLUSIVITY; FEDERAL PREEMPTION; TERM 

 1.
Non-Exclusivity. The indemnification provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled under the Company’s current memorandum and articles of association, applicable law or any
written agreement between Indemnitee and the Company (including its subsidiaries and affiliates). The indemnification provided under this Agreement shall continue to be available to Indemnitee for any action taken or not taken while serving in an
indemnified capacity even though he may have ceased to serve in any such capacity at the time of any Proceeding. 
 2. Federal
Preemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, both the Company and Indemnitee acknowledge that in certain instances, U.S. federal law or public policy may 

  

 7 

 
override applicable law and prohibit the Company from indemnifying its directors and officers under this Agreement or otherwise. Such instances include, but
are not limited to, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s prohibition on indemnification for liabilities arising under certain U.S. federal securities laws. Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the Company has undertaken or may
be required in the future to undertake with the SEC to submit the question of indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a determination of the Company’s right under public policy to indemnify Indemnitee. 
 3. Duration of Agreement. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period Indemnitee is an officer
and/or a director of the Company (or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) and shall continue thereafter so long as
Indemnitee shall be subject to any Proceeding by reason of his former or current capacity at the Company, whether or not he is acting or serving in any such capacity at the time any expense is incurred for which indemnification can be provided under
this Agreement. This Agreement shall continue in effect regardless of whether Indemnitee continues to serve as an officer and/or a director of the Company or any other enterprise at the Company’s request. 
  

	F.	MISCELLANEOUS 

 1. Amendment of this Agreement. No
supplement, modification, or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any other provisions (whether or not
similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, no failure to exercise or any delay in exercising any right or remedy shall constitute a waiver. 
 2. Subrogation. In the event of payment to Indemnitee by the Company under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such
payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and shall do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the Company to bring
suit to enforce such rights. 
 3. Assignment; Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder
may be assigned by either party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party; except that the Company may, without such consent, assign all such rights and obligations to a successor in interest to the Company which assumes all
obligations of the Company under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by and against the parties hereto and the Company’s successors (including any
direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company) and assigns, as well as Indemnitee’s spouses, heirs, and personal and legal representatives.
As a condition to any purchase, merger, consolidation or other business combination transaction involving the Company, the Company’s successor shall expressly assume the obligations under this Agreement. 
 4. Severability and Construction. 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 a court order, to perform its 

  

 8 

 
obligations under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. In addition, if any portion of this Agreement shall be held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or otherwise unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The parties hereto acknowledge that they each have opportunities to have
their respective counsels review this Agreement. Accordingly, this Agreement shall be deemed to be the product of both of the parties hereto, and no ambiguity shall be construed in favor of or against either of the parties hereto. 
 5. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, both of which taken together shall constitute one instrument. 
 6. Governing Law. This agreement and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be
governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A., without giving effect to conflicts of law provisions thereof. 
 7. Notices. All notices, demands, and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be made in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered by hand, against receipt,
or mailed, postage prepaid, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and addressed to the Company at:

unless a longer period is required by applicable law, in which case that longer period would apply. 
 (iii) Without Cause. In
addition, the Company may terminate the Employment without cause, at any time, upon          month written notice, and upon termination without cause, the Company shall provide compensation to the

 9. CONFIDENTIALITY AND NONDISCLOSURE 
  

	 	(a)	Confidentiality and Non-disclosure. In the course of the Executive’s services, the Executive may have access to the trade secrets and confidential information of the
Company and/or the Company’s client and/or prospective client (“Confidential Information”). Such Confidential Information include but are not limited to those embodied in memoranda, manuals, letters or other documents, computer
disks, tapes or other information storage devices, hardware, or other media or vehicles, pertaining to the business of the Company and/or the Company’s client and/or prospective client. All such Confidential Information are considered
confidential and all materials containing any such Confidential Information are the property of the Company and/or the Company’s client and/or prospective client, and shall be returned to the Company and/or the Company’s client and/or
prospective client upon expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. The Executive shall not directly or indirectly disclose or use any such Confidential Information, except as required in the performance of the Executive’s duties in
connection with the Employment, or pursuant to applicable law. 

  

	 	(b)	Trade Secrets. During and after the Employment, the Executive shall hold the Trade Secrets (as defined below) in strict confidence; the Executive shall not disclose these
Trade Secrets to anyone except other employees of the Company who have a need to know the Trade Secrets in connection with the Company’s business. The Executive shall not use the Trade Secrets other than for the benefits of the Company.

 “Trade Secrets” means information deemed confidential by the Company, treated by the Company or which the
Executive know or ought reasonably to have known to be confidential, and trade secrets, including without limitation designs, processes, pricing policies, methods, inventions, conceptions, technology, technical data, financial information, corporate
structure and know-how, relating to the business and affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries, affiliates and business associates, whether embodied in memoranda, manuals, letters or other documents, computer disks, tapes or other information
storage devices, hardware, or other media or vehicles. Trade Secrets do not include information generally known or released to public domain through no fault of the Executive. 
  

	 	(c)	Former Employer Information. The Executive agrees that he or she has not and will not, during the term of his or her employment, (i) improperly use or disclose any
proprietary information or trade secrets of any former employer or other person or entity with which the Executive has an agreement or duty to keep in confidence information acquired by Executive, if any, or (ii) bring into the premises of
Company any document or confidential or proprietary information belonging to such former employer, person or entity unless consented to in writing by such former employer, person or entity. The Executive will indemnify the Company and hold it
harmless from and against all claims, liabilities, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of suit, arising out of or in connection with any violation of the foregoing. 

  

 4 

	 	(d)	Third Party Information. The Executive recognizes that the Company may have received, and in the future may receive, from third parties their confidential or proprietary
information subject to a duty on the Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. The Executive agrees that the Executive owes the Company and such third parties, during the
Executive’s employment by the Company and thereafter, a duty to hold all such confidential or proprietary information in the strictest confidence and not to disclose it to any person or firm and to use it in a manner consistent with, and for
the limited purposes permitted by, the Company’s agreement with such third party. 

 This Section 9 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement for any reason. In the event the Executive breaches this Section 9, the Company shall have right to seek remedies permissible under applicable law. 
 10. INVENTIONS 
  

	 	(a)	Inventions Retained and Licensed. The Executive has attached hereto, as Schedule B, a list describing all inventions, ideas, improvements, designs and discoveries,
whether or not patentable and whether or not reduced to practice, original works of authorship and trade secrets made or conceived by or belonging to the Executive (whether made solely by the Executive or jointly with others) that (i) were
developed by Executive prior to the Executive’s employment by the Company (collectively, “Prior Inventions”), (ii) relate to the Company’ actual or proposed business, products or research and development, and
(iii) are not assigned to the Company hereunder; or, if no such list is attached, the Executive represents that there are no such Prior Inventions. The Executive hereby acknowledges that, if in the course of his or her service for the Company,
the Executive incorporates into a Company product or process a Prior Invention owned by the Executive or in which he or she has an interest, the Company is hereby granted and shall have a nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide
right and license (which may be freely transferred by the Company to any other person or entity) to make, have made, modify, use, sell, sublicense and otherwise distribute such Prior Invention as part of or in connection with such product, process
or machine. 

  

	 	(b)	Disclosure and Assignment of Inventions. The Executive understands that the Company engages in research and development and other activities in connection with its business
and that, as an essential part of the Employment, the Executive is expected to make new contributions to and create inventions of value for the Company. 

 From and after the Effective Date, the Executive shall disclose in confidence to the Company all inventions, improvements, designs, original works of authorship, formulas, processes, compositions of matter, computer
software programs, databases, mask works and trade secrets (collectively, the “Inventions”), which the Executive may solely or jointly conceive or develop or reduce to practice, or cause to be conceived or developed or reduced to
practice, during the period of the Executive’s Employment at the Company. The Executive acknowledges that copyrightable works prepared by the 

  

 5 

	 	 
Executive within the scope of and during the period of the Executive’s Employment with the Company are “works for hire” and that the Company
will be considered the author thereof. The Executive agrees that all the Inventions shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company and the Executive hereby assign all his or her right, title and interest in and to any and all of the
Inventions to the Company or its successor in interest without further consideration. 

  

	 	(c)	Patent and Copyright Registration. The Executive agrees to assist the Company in every proper way to obtain for the Company and enforce patents, copyrights, mask work rights,
trade secret rights, and other legal protection for the Inventions. The Executive will execute any documents that the Company may reasonably request for use in obtaining or enforcing such patents, copyrights, mask work rights, trade secrets and
other legal protections. The Executive’s obligations under this paragraph will continue beyond the termination of the Employment with the Company, provided that the Company will reasonably compensate the Executive after such termination for
time or expenses actually spent by the Executive at the Company’s request on such assistance. The Executive appoints the Secretary of the Company as the Executive’s attorney-in-fact to execute documents on the Executive’s behalf for
this purpose. 

  

	 	(d)	Return of Confidential Materials. In the event of the Executive’s termination of employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever, Executive agrees promptly to
surrender and deliver to the Company all records, materials, equipment, drawings, documents and data of any nature pertaining to any confidential information or to his or her employment, and Executive will not retain or take with him or her any
tangible materials or electronically stored data, containing or pertaining to any confidential information that Executive may produce, acquire or obtain access to during the course of his or her employment. 

 This Section 10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason. In the event the Executive breaches this Section 10, the Company
shall have right to seek remedies permissible under applicable law. 
 11. CONFLICTING EMPLOYMENT. 
 The Executive hereby agrees that, during the term of his or her employment with the Company, he or she will not engage in any other employment,
occupation, consulting or other business activity related to the business in which the Company is now involved or becomes involved during the term of the Executive’s employment, nor will the Executive engage in any other activities that
conflict with his or her obligations to the Company without the prior written consent of the Company. 
 12. NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION

 In consideration of the salary paid to the Executive by the Company, the Executive agree that during the term of the Employment and for
a period of one (1) year following the termination of the Employment for whatever reason: 
  

 6 

	 	(a)	The Executive will not approach clients, customers or contacts of the Company or other persons or entities introduced to the Executive in the Executive’s capacity as a
representative of the Company for the purposes of doing business with such persons or entities which will harm the business relationship between the Company and such persons and/or entities; 

  

	 	(b)	unless expressly consented to by the Company, the Executive will not assume employment with or provide services as a director or otherwise for any Competitor, or engage, whether as
principal, partner, licensor or otherwise, in any Competitor; and 

  

	 	(c)	unless expressly consented to by the Company, the Executive will not seek directly or indirectly, by the offer of alternative employment or other inducement whatsoever, to solicit
the services of any employee of the Company employed as at or after the date of such termination, or in the year preceding such termination. 

 The provisions contained in Section 12 are considered reasonable by the Executive and the Company. In the event that any such provisions should be found to be void under applicable laws but would be valid if some
part thereof was deleted or the period or area of application reduced, such provisions shall apply with such modification as may be necessary to make them valid and effective. 
 This Section 12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason. In the event the Executive breaches this Section 12, the
Executive acknowledges that there will be no adequate remedy at law, and the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief and/or a decree for specific performance, and such other relief as may be proper (including monetary damages if appropriate).
In any event, the Company shall have right to seek all remedies permissible under applicable law. 
 13. WITHHOLDING TAXES 
 Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, the Company may withhold (or cause there to be withheld, as the case may be) from any amounts
otherwise due or payable under or pursuant to this Agreement such national, provincial, local or any other income, employment, or other taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. 
 14. ASSIGNMENT 
 This Agreement is personal in its
nature and neither of the parties hereto shall, without the consent of the other, assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder; provided, however, that (i) the Company may assign or transfer this Agreement or any
rights or obligations hereunder to any member of the Group without such consent, and (ii) in the event of a merger, consolidation, or transfer or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the company with or to any other individual(s)
or entity, this Agreement shall, subject to the provisions hereof, be binding upon and inure to the benefit of such successor and such successor shall discharge and perform all the promises, covenants, duties, and obligations of the Company
hereunder.

 15. SEVERABILITY 
 If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof is held invalid, the invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of this Agreement which can be given effect without the invalid
provisions or applications and to this end the provisions of this Agreement are declared to be severable.

 This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the Executive and the Company regarding the terms of the Employment and
supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written agreements concerning such subject matter. The Executive acknowledges that he or she has not entered into this Agreement in reliance upon any representation, warranty or undertaking which is
not set forth in this Agreement. Any amendment to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by the Executive and the Company.

 19. WAIVER 
 Neither the failure nor any delay on the
part of a party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the
same or of any right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence.
No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the party asserted to have granted such waiver. 
 20. NOTICES 
 All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been

become binding when one or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, shall bear the signatures of all of the parties reflected hereon as the
signatories. Photographic copies of such signed counterparts may be used in lieu of the originals for any purpose.
