                                        , 2006 (the “Date of Grant”), by and between RAE Systems Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”) and
                     (the “Participant”).

     1. Number of Shares.

          On
the Date of Grant, the Participant is hereby awarded ___ shares of the common stock of
the Company (the “Shares”) subject to the terms and conditions contained herein.

     2. Vesting Schedule.

          The “Initial Vesting Date” is July 11, 2007. Except as provided in this Agreement and
provided that the Participant’s Service with the Company has not terminated prior to the relevant
date, the number of Shares that have vested (“Vested Shares”) (disregarding any resulting
fractional shares) as of any date is determined by multiplying the number of Shares by the “Vested
Ratio” determined as of such date as follows:

	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	      Vested
Ratio

	Prior to Initial Vesting Date

	 	 	0	 
	 
	 	 	 	 
	On Initial Vesting Date, provided the Participant’s
Service has not terminated prior to such date

	 	 	1/4	 
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Plus
	 	 	 	 
	 
	 	 	 	 
	For
each additional three full months of the Participant’s continuous Service from Initial Vesting Date until the Vested Ratio equals 1/1, an additional

	 	 	3/48	 

          For purposes of determining the number of Vested Shares following an Ownership Change Event,
credited Service shall include all Service with any corporation which is a Participating Company at
the time the Service is rendered, whether or not such corporation is a Participating Company both
before and after the Ownership Change Event.

     3. Definitions and Construction.

be, either directly or through one or more subsidiary corporations or other business entities. The

determine in good faith and in the exercise of its discretion whether an individual has become or
has ceased to be an Employee and the effective date of such individual’s employment or termination
of employment, as the case may be. For purposes of an individual’s rights, if any, under this
Agreement as of the time of the Company’s determination, all such determinations by the Company

governmental agency subsequently makes a contrary determination.

               (q) “Service” means the Participant’s employment or service with the Participating Company
Group, whether in the capacity of an Employee, a Director or a Consultant. The Participant’s
Service shall not be deemed to have terminated merely because of a change in the capacity in which
the Participant renders Service to the Participating Company Group or a change in the Participating
Company for which the Participant renders such Service, provided that there is no interruption or
termination of the Participant’s Service. Furthermore, a Participant’s Service with the
Participating Company Group shall not be deemed to have terminated if the Participant takes any
military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence approved by the Company; provided,
however, that if any such leave exceeds ninety (90) days, on the ninety-first (91st) day of such
leave the Participant’s Service shall be deemed to

3

 

have terminated unless the Participant’s right to return to Service with the Participating
Company Group is guaranteed by statute or contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless
otherwise designated by the Company or required by law, a leave of absence shall not be treated as
Service for purposes of determining vesting under this Agreement. The Participant’s Service shall
be deemed to have terminated either upon an actual termination of Service or upon the corporation
for which the Participant performs Service ceasing to be a Participating Company. Subject to the
foregoing, the Company, in its discretion, shall determine whether the Participant’s Service has
terminated and the effective date of such termination.

               (r) “Stock” means the common stock of the Company, as adjusted from time to time in accordance
with Section 9.

               (s) “Subsidiary Corporation” means any present or future “subsidiary corporation” of the
Company, as defined in Section 424(f) of the Code.

          3.2 Construction. Captions and titles contained herein are for convenience only and shall not
affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. Except when otherwise
indicated by the context, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the
singular. Use of the term “or” is not intended to be exclusive, unless the context clearly
requires otherwise.

     4. Administration.

          All questions of interpretation concerning this Agreement shall be determined by the
Committee. All determinations by the Committee shall be final and binding upon all persons having
an interest in the Shares. Any Officer shall have the authority to act on behalf of the Company
with respect to any matter, right, obligation, or election which is the responsibility of or which
is allocated to the Company herein, provided the Officer has apparent authority with respect to
such matter, right, obligation, or election.

     5. The Award.

          5.1 Grant and Issuance of Shares. On the Date of Grant, the Participant shall acquire and the
Company shall issue the Shares subject to the provisions of this Agreement. As a condition to the
issuance of the Shares, the Participant shall execute and deliver to the Company, along with this
Agreement, the Assignment Separate from Certificate duly endorsed (with date and number of shares
blank) in the form attached to this Agreement.

          5.2 No Monetary Payment Required. The Participant is not required to make any monetary
payment (other than applicable tax withholding, if any) as a condition to receiving the Shares, the
consideration for which shall be past Services actually rendered and/or future Services to be
rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if required
by applicable state corporate law, the Participant shall furnish consideration in the form of cash
or past Services rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit having a value not less
than the par value of the Shares.

          5.3 Beneficial Ownership of Shares; Certificate Registration. The Participant hereby
authorizes the Company, in its sole discretion, to deposit the Shares with the

4

 

Company’s transfer agent, including any successor transfer agent, to be held in book entry
form during the term of the Escrow pursuant to Section 7. Furthermore, the Participant hereby
authorizes the Company, in its sole discretion, to deposit, following the term of such Escrow, for
the benefit of the Participant with any broker with which the Participant has an account
relationship of which the Company has notice any or all Shares which are no longer subject to such
Escrow. Except as provided by the foregoing, a certificate for the Shares shall be registered in
the name of the Participant, or, if applicable, in the names of the heirs of the Participant.

          5.4 Issuance of Shares in Compliance with Law. The issuance of the Shares shall be subject to
compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state or foreign law with respect to such
securities. No Shares shall be issued hereunder if their issuance would constitute a violation of
any applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations or the
requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. The
inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if
any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance of any Shares
shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue such Shares as to
which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the issuance of the
Shares, the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary
or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any
representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.

     6. Company Reacquisition Right.

          6.1 Grant of Company Reacquisition Right. In the event that (a) the Participant’s Service is
terminated voluntarily by the Participant or is terminated by the Company for Cause, or (b) the
Participant, the Participant’s legal representative, or other holder of the Shares, attempts to
sell, exchange, transfer, pledge, or otherwise dispose of (other than pursuant to an Ownership
Change Event), including, without limitation, any transfer to a nominee or agent of the
Participant, any Shares which are not Vested Shares (“Unvested Shares”), the Company shall
automatically reacquire the Unvested Shares, and the Participant shall not be entitled to any
payment therefor (the “Company Reacquisition Right”). The Company shall have no Company
Reacquisition Right if the Participant’s Service is terminated involuntarily by the Company for any
reason other than for Cause. For purposes of clarity, if the Participant’s Service is terminated
by the Company for any reason other than for Cause, she or he will be entitled to the full number
Shares listed under Section 1 above.

          6.2 Ownership Change Event. Upon the occurrence of an Ownership Change Event, any and all
new, substituted or additional securities or other property to which the Participant is entitled by
reason of the Participant’s ownership of Unvested Shares shall be immediately subject to the
Company Reacquisition Right and included in the terms “Shares,” “Stock” and “Unvested Shares” for
all purposes of the Company Reacquisition Right with the same force and effect as the Unvested
Shares immediately prior to the Ownership Change Event. For purposes of determining the number of
Vested Shares following an Ownership Change Event, credited Service shall include all Service with
any corporation which is a Participating Company at the time the Service is rendered, whether or
not such corporation is a Participating Company both before and after the Ownership Change Event.

5

 

     7. Escrow.

          7.1 Appointment of Agent. To ensure that Shares subject to the Company Reacquisition Right
will be available for reacquisition, the Participant and the Company hereby appoint the secretary
of the Company, or any other person designated by the Company, as their agent and as
attorney-in-fact for the Participant (the “Agent”) to hold any and all Unvested Shares and to sell,
assign and transfer to the Company any such Unvested Shares reacquired by the Company pursuant to
the Company Reacquisition Right. The Participant understands that appointment of the Agent is a
material inducement to make this Agreement and that such appointment is coupled with an interest
and is irrevocable. The Agent shall not be personally liable for any act the Agent may do or omit
to do hereunder as Escrow agent, agent for the Company, or attorney in fact for the Participant
while acting in good faith and in the exercise of the Agent’s own good judgment, and any act done
or omitted by the Agent pursuant to the advice of the Agent’s own attorneys shall be conclusive
evidence of such good faith. The Agent may rely upon any letter, notice or other document executed
by any signature purporting to be genuine and may resign at any time.

          7.2 Establishment of Escrow. The Participant authorizes the Company to deposit the Unvested
Shares with the Company’s transfer agent to be held in book entry form, as provided in Section 5.3,
and the Participant agrees to deliver to and deposit with the Agent each certificate, if any,
evidencing the Shares and an Assignment Separate from Certificate with respect to such book entry
shares and each such certificate duly endorsed (with date and number of Shares blank) in the form
attached to the Grant Notice, to be held by the Agent under the terms and conditions of this
Section 7 (the “Escrow”). Upon the occurrence of an Ownership Change Event or a change, as
described in Section 9, in the character or amount of any outstanding stock of the corporation the
stock of which is subject to the provisions of this Agreement, any and all new, substituted or
additional securities or other property to which the Participant is entitled by reason of his or
her ownership of the Shares that remain, following such Ownership Change Event or change described
in Section 9, subject to the Company Reacquisition Right shall be immediately subject to the Escrow
to the same extent as the Shares immediately before such event. The Company shall bear the
expenses of the Escrow.

          7.3 Delivery of Shares to Participant. The Escrow shall continue with respect to any Shares
for so long as such Shares remain subject to the Company Reacquisition Right. Upon termination of
the Reacquisition Right with respect to Shares, the Company shall so notify the Agent and direct
the Agent to deliver such number of Shares to the Participant. As soon as practicable after
receipt of such notice, the Agent shall cause to be delivered to the Participant the Shares
specified by such notice, and the Escrow shall terminate with respect to such Shares.

     8. Tax Matters.

          8.1 Tax Withholding.

               (a) In General. At the time the Agreement is executed, or at any time thereafter as requested
by a Participating Company, the Participant hereby authorizes withholding from payroll and any
other amounts payable to the Participant, and otherwise agrees to make adequate provision for, any
sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign

6

 

tax withholding obligations of the Participating Company, if any, which arise in connection
with the Award, including, without limitation, obligations arising upon (a) the transfer of Shares
to the Participant, (b) the lapsing of any restriction with respect to any Shares, (c) the filing
of an election to recognize tax liability, or (d) the transfer by the Participant of any Shares.
The Company shall have no obligation to deliver the Shares or to release any Shares from the Escrow
established pursuant to Section 7 until the tax withholding obligations of the Participating
Company have been satisfied by the Participant.

               (b) Assignment of Sale Proceeds; Payment of Tax Withholding by Check. Subject to compliance
with applicable law and the Company’s insider trading policy, the Participant shall satisfy the
Participating Company’s tax withholding obligations in accordance with procedures established by
the Company providing for delivery by the Participant to the Company or a broker approved by the
Company of properly executed instructions, in a form approved by the Company, providing for the
assignment to the Company of the proceeds of a sale with respect to some or all of the shares
becoming Vested Shares on a vesting date as provided above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Participant may elect to pay by check the amount of the Participating Company’s tax withholding
obligations arising on any vesting date by delivering written notice of such election to the
Company on a form specified by the Company for this purpose at least thirty (30) days (or such
other period established by the Company) prior to such vesting date. By making such election, the
Participant agrees to deliver a check for the full amount of the required tax withholding to the
applicable Participating Company on or before the third business day following the vesting date.
If the Participant elects to pay the required tax withholding by check but fails to make such
payment as required by the preceding sentence, the Company is hereby authorized at its discretion,
to satisfy the tax withholding obligations through any other means authorized by this Section 8,
including by effecting a sale of some or all of the shares becoming Vested Shares on the vesting
date, withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to the Participant or by withholding
shares in accordance with Section 8.1(c).

               (c) Withholding in Shares. The Company may, in its discretion, permit or require the
Participant to satisfy all or any portion of a Participating Company’s tax withholding obligations
by deducting a number of whole, Vested Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant or by the
Participant’s tender to the Company of a number of whole, Vested Shares or vested shares acquired
otherwise than pursuant to the Award having, in any such case, a fair market value, as determined
by the Company as of the date on which the tax withholding obligations arise, not in excess of the
amount of such tax withholding obligations determined by the applicable minimum statutory
withholding rates. Any adverse consequences to the Participant resulting from the procedure
permitted under this Section, including, without limitation, tax consequences, shall be the sole
responsibility of the Participant.

          8.2 Election Under Section 83(b) of the Code.

               (a) The Participant understands that Section 83 of the Code taxes as ordinary income the
difference between the amount paid for the Shares, if anything, and the fair market value of the
Shares as of the date on which the Shares are “substantially vested,” within the meaning of Section
83. In this context, “substantially vested” means that the right of the Company to reacquire the
Shares pursuant to the Company Reacquisition Right has lapsed. The

7

 

Participant understands that he or she may elect to have his or her taxable income determined
at the time he or she acquires the Shares rather than when and as the Company Reacquisition Right
lapses by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service no
later than thirty (30) days after the date of acquisition of the Shares. The Participant
understands that failure to make a timely filing under Section 83(b) will result in his or her
recognition of ordinary income, as the Company Reacquisition Right lapses, on the difference
between the purchase price, if anything, and the fair market value of the Shares at the time such
restrictions lapse. The Participant further understands, however, that if Shares with respect to
which an election under Section 83(b) has been made are forfeited to the Company pursuant to its
Company Reacquisition Right, such forfeiture will be treated as a sale on which there is realized a
loss equal to the excess (if any) of the amount paid (if any) by the Participant for the forfeited
Shares over the amount realized (if any) upon their forfeiture. If the Participant has paid
nothing for the forfeited Shares and has received no payment upon their forfeiture, the Participant
understands that he or she will be unable to recognize any loss on the forfeiture of the Shares
even though the Participant incurred a tax liability by making an election under Section 83(b).

               (b) The Participant understands that he or she should consult with his or her tax advisor
regarding the advisability of filing with the Internal Revenue Service an election under Section
83(b) of the Code, which must be filed no later than thirty (30) days after the date of the
acquisition of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement. Failure to file an election under Section
83(b), if appropriate, may result in adverse tax consequences to the Participant. The Participant
acknowledges that he or she has been advised to consult with a tax advisor regarding the tax
consequences to the Participant of the acquisition of Shares hereunder. ANY ELECTION UNDER SECTION
83(b) THE PARTICIPANT WISHES TO MAKE MUST BE FILED NO LATER THAN 30 DAYS AFTER THE DATE ON WHICH
THE PARTICIPANT ACQUIRES THE SHARES. THIS TIME PERIOD CANNOT BE EXTENDED. THE PARTICIPANT
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT TIMELY FILING OF A SECTION 83(b) ELECTION IS THE PARTICIPANT’S SOLE
RESPONSIBILITY, EVEN IF THE PARTICIPANT REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVE TO FILE SUCH
ELECTION ON HIS OR HER BEHALF.

               (c) The Participant will notify the Company in writing if the Participant files an election
pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code. The Company intends, in the event it does not receive from
the Participant evidence of such filing, to claim a tax deduction for any amount which would
otherwise be taxable to the Participant in the absence of such an election.

     9. Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure.

          Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, in the event of any change
in the Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, whether through merger,
consolidation, reorganization, reincorporation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend,
stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, split-off, spin-off, combination of shares, exchange of
shares, or similar change in the capital structure of the Company, or in the event of payment of a
dividend or distribution to the stockholders of the Company in a form other than Stock (excepting
normal cash dividends) that has a material effect on the fair market value of shares of Stock,
appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number and kind of shares subject

8

 

to this Agreement, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the Participant’s rights
under this Agreement. For purposes of the foregoing, conversion of any convertible securities of
the Company shall not be treated as “effected without receipt of consideration by the Company.”
Any fractional share resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section shall be rounded down to
the nearest whole number. Such adjustments shall be determined by the Committee, and its
determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.

     10. Rights as a Stockholder, Director, Employee or Consultant.

          The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares subject to
this Agreement until the date of the issuance of the Shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry
on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment
shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to
the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 9. Subject the provisions of this
Agreement, the Participant shall exercise all rights and privileges of a stockholder of the Company
with respect to Shares deposited in the Escrow pursuant to Section 7. If the Participant is an
Employee, the Participant understands and acknowledges that, except as otherwise provided in a
separate, written employment agreement between a Participating Company and the Participant, the
Participant’s employment is “at will” and is for no specified term. Nothing in this Agreement
shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the Service of a Participating Company
or interfere in any way with any right of the Participating Company Group to terminate the
Participant’s Service at any time.

     11. Legends.

          The Company may at any time place legends referencing the Company Reacquisition Right and any
applicable federal, state or foreign securities law restrictions on all certificates representing
the Shares. The Participant shall, at the request of the Company, promptly present to the Company
any and all certificates representing the Shares in the possession of the Participant in order to
carry out the provisions of this Section. Unless otherwise specified by the Company, legends
placed on such certificates may include, but shall not be limited to, the following:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN AN
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THIS CORPORATION AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER, OR HIS PREDECESSOR IN
INTEREST, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THIS CORPORATION.”

     12. Transfers in Violation of Agreement.

          No Shares may be sold, exchanged, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise
disposed of, including by operation of law, in any manner which violates any of the provisions of
this Agreement and, except pursuant to an Ownership Change Event, until the date on which such
shares become Vested Shares, and any such attempted disposition shall be void. The Company shall
not be required (a) to transfer on its books any Shares which will have been transferred in
violation of any of the provisions set forth in this Agreement or (b) to treat as

9

 

owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote as such owner or to pay dividends to any
transferee to whom such Shares will have been so transferred. In order to enforce its rights under
this Section, the Company shall be authorized to give a stop transfer instruction with respect to
the Shares to the Company’s transfer agent.

     13. Miscellaneous Provisions.

          13.1 Termination or Amendment. The Committee may terminate or amend this Agreement at any
time; provided, however, that no such termination or amendment may adversely affect the
Participant’s rights under this Agreement without the consent of the Participant unless such
termination or amendment is necessary to comply with applicable law or government regulation. No
amendment or addition to this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing.

          13.2 Nontransferability. The right to acquire Shares pursuant to this Agreement shall not be
subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge,
encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary,
except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. All rights with respect to the
Shares shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant or the
Participant’s guardian or legal representative.

          13.3 Further Instruments. The parties hereto agree to execute such further instruments and to
take such further action as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement.

          13.4 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns
of the Company and, subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein, be binding upon the
Participant and the Participant’s heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

          13.5 Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall
be deemed effectively given (except to the extent that this Agreement provides for effectiveness
only upon actual receipt of such notice) upon personal delivery, electronic delivery at the e-mail
address, if any, provided for the Participant by a Participating Company, or upon deposit in the
U.S. Post Office or foreign postal Service, by registered or certified mail, or with a nationally
recognized overnight courier Service, with postage and fees prepaid, addressed to the other party
at the address shown below that party’s signature to the Grant Notice or at such other address as
such party may designate in writing from time to time to the other party.

               (a) Description of Electronic Delivery. The parties may deliver electronically any notices
called for in connection with the Escrow. Such means of electronic delivery may include but do not
necessarily include the delivery of a link to a Company intranet or the internet site of a third
party involved in administering the Plan, the delivery of the document via e-mail or such other
means of electronic delivery specified by the Company.

               (b) Consent to Electronic Delivery. The Participant acknowledges that the Participant has
read Section 13.5(a) of this Agreement and consents to the electronic delivery of notices in
connection with the Escrow, as described in Section 13.5(a). The Participant acknowledges that he
or she may receive from the Company a paper copy of any

10

 

documents delivered electronically at no cost to the Participant by contacting the Company by
telephone or in writing. The Participant further acknowledges that the Participant will be
provided with a paper copy of any documents if the attempted electronic delivery of such documents
fails. Similarly, the Participant understands that the Participant must provide the Company or any
designated third party administrator with a paper copy of any documents if the attempted electronic

Exhibit 10.1

INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

     THIS INDEMNITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of                                          , 2006,
is made by and between Hansen Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and
                                        (“Indemnitee”).

R E C I T A L S:

     A. The Company desires to attract and retain the services of highly qualified individuals as
directors, officers, employees and agents.

     B. The Company’s bylaws (the “Bylaws”) require that the Company indemnify its
directors, and empowers the Company to indemnify its officers, employees and agents, as authorized
by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (the “Code”), under which the Company
is organized and such Bylaws expressly provide that the indemnification provided therein is not
exclusive and contemplates that the Company may enter into separate agreements with its directors,
officers and other persons to set forth specific indemnification provisions.

     C. Indemnitee does not regard the protection currently provided by applicable law, the
Company’s governing documents and available insurance as adequate under the present circumstances,
and the Company has determined that Indemnitee and other directors, officers, employees and agents
of the Company may not be willing to serve or continue to serve in such capacities without
additional protection.

     D. The Company desires and has requested Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve as a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, as the case may be, and has proferred this
Agreement to Indemnitee as an additional inducement to serve in such capacity.

     E. Indemnitee is willing to serve, or to continue to serve, as a director, officer, employee
or agent of the Company, as the case may be, if Indemnitee is furnished the indemnity provided for
herein by the Company.

A G R E E M E N T :

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, the
parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

     1. Definitions.

          (a) Agent. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “agent” of the Company means any
person who: (i) is or was a director, officer, employee or other fiduciary of the Company or a
subsidiary of the Company; or (ii) is or was serving at the request or for the convenience of, or
representing the interests of, the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, as a director, officer,
employee or other fiduciary of a foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise.

 

 

          (b) Expenses. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “expenses” shall be broadly
construed and shall include, without limitation, all direct and indirect costs of any type or
nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, all attorneys’, witness, or other professional
fees and related disbursements, and other out-of-pocket costs of whatever nature), actually and
reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense or appeal of a
proceeding or establishing or enforcing a right to indemnification under this Agreement, the Code
or otherwise, and amounts paid in settlement by or on behalf of Indemnitee, but shall not include
any judgments, fines or penalties actually levied against Indemnitee for such individual’s
violations of law. The term “expenses” shall also include reasonable compensation for time spent
by Indemnitee for which he is not compensated by the Company or any subsidiary or third party (i)
for any period during which Indemnitee is not an agent, in the employment of, or providing services
for compensation to, the Company or any subsidiary; and (ii) if the rate of compensation and
estimated time involved is approved by the directors of the Company who are not parties to any
action with respect to which expenses are incurred, for Indemnitee while an agent of, employed by,
or providing services for compensation to, the Company or any subsidiary.

          (c) Proceedings. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “proceeding” shall be
broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, any threatened, pending, or completed
action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry,
administrative hearing or any other actual, threatened or completed proceeding, whether brought in
the right of the Company or otherwise and whether of a civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative nature, and whether formal or informal in any case, in which Indemnitee was, is or
will be involved as a party or otherwise by reason of: (i) the fact that Indemnitee is or was a
director or officer of the Company; (ii) the fact that any action taken by Indemnitee or of any
action on Indemnitee’s part while acting as director, officer, employee or agent of the Company; or
(iii) the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee
benefit plan or other enterprise, and in any such case described above, whether or not serving in
any such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification,
reimbursement, or advancement of expenses may be provided under this Agreement.

          (d) Subsidiary. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “subsidiary” means any
corporation or limited liability company of which more than 50% of the outstanding voting
securities or equity interests are owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company and one or more of
its subsidiaries, and any other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which Indemnitee is or was serving at the
request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary.

          (e) Independent Counsel. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “independent
counsel” means a law firm, or a partner (or, if applicable, member) of such a law firm, that is
experienced in matters of corporation law and neither presently is, nor in the past five (5) years
has been, retained to represent: (i) the Company or Indemnitee in any matter material to either
such party, or (ii) any other party to the proceeding giving rise to a claim for

 2.

 

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.

     2. Agreement to Serve. Indemnitee will serve, or continue to serve, as a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Company or any subsidiary, as the case may be, faithfully and to
the best of his or her ability, at the will of such corporation (or under separate agreement, if
such agreement exists), in the capacity Indemnitee currently serves as an agent of such
corporation, so long as Indemnitee is duly appointed or elected and qualified in accordance with
the applicable provisions of the bylaws or other applicable charter documents of such corporation,
or until such time as Indemnitee tenders his or her resignation in writing; provided, however, that
nothing contained in this Agreement is intended as an employment agreement between Indemnitee and
the Company or any of its subsidiaries or to create any right to continued employment of Indemnitee
with the Company or any of its subsidiaries in any capacity.

     The Company acknowledges that it has entered into this Agreement and assumes the obligations
imposed on it hereby, in addition to and separate from its obligations to Indemnitee under the
Bylaws, to induce Indemnitee to serve, or continue to serve, as a director, officer, employee or
agent of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement
in serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company.

     3. Indemnification.

          (a) Indemnification in Third Party Proceedings. Subject to Section 10 below, the
Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by the Code, as the same may be
amended from time to time (but, only to the extent that such amendment permits Indemnitee to
broader indemnification rights than the Code permitted prior to adoption of such amendment), if
Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to or otherwise involved in any
proceeding, for any and all expenses, actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection
with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such proceeding.

          (b) Indemnification in Derivative Actions and Direct Actions by the Company. Subject
to Section 10 below, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by the
Code, as the same may be amended from time to time (but, only to the extent that such amendment
permits Indemnitee to broader indemnification rights than the Code permitted prior to adoption of
such amendment), if 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,
against any and all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the
investigation, defense, settlement, or appeal of such proceedings.

     4. Indemnification of Expenses of Successful Party. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in defense of any proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein,
including the dismissal of any action without prejudice, the Company shall indemnify

 3.

 

Indemnitee against all expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the
investigation, defense or appeal of such proceeding.

     5. Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this
Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of any expenses actually and
reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of a
proceeding, but is precluded by applicable law or the specific terms of this Agreement to
indemnification for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee
for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled.

     6. Advancement of Expenses. To the extent not prohibited by law, the Company shall
advance the expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any proceeding, and such
advancement shall be made within twenty (20) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement
or statements requesting such advances (which shall include invoices received by Indemnitee in
connection with such expenses but, in the case of invoices in connection with legal services, any
references to legal work performed or to expenditures made that would cause Indemnitee to waive any
privilege accorded by applicable law shall not be included with the invoice) and upon request of
the Company, an undertaking to repay the advancement of expenses if and to the extent that it is
ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment, not subject to
appeal, that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. Advances shall be
unsecured, interest free and without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the expenses. Advances
shall include any and all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee pursuing an
action to enforce Indemnitee’s right to indemnification under this Agreement, or otherwise and this
right of advancement, including expenses incurred preparing and forwarding statements to the
Company to support the advances claimed. Indemnitee acknowledges that the execution and delivery
of this Agreement shall constitute an undertaking providing that Indemnitee shall, to the fullest
extent required by law, repay the advance if and to the extent that it is ultimately determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment, not subject to appeal, that Indemnitee is
not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. The right to advances under this Section shall
continue until final disposition of any proceeding, including any appeal therein. This Section 6
shall not apply to any claim made by Indemnitee for which indemnity is excluded pursuant to Section
10(b).

     7. Notice and Other Indemnification Procedures.

          (a) Notification of Proceeding. Indemnitee will notify the Company in writing
promptly upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information
or other document relating to any proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification or
advancement of expenses covered hereunder. The failure of Indemnitee to so notify the Company
shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to Indemnitee under this
Agreement or otherwise.

          (b) Request for Indemnification and Indemnification Payments. Indemnitee shall notify
the Company promptly in writing upon receiving notice of nay demand, judgment or other requirement
for payment that Indemnitee reasonably believes to the subject to indemnification under the terms
of this Agreement, and shall request payment thereof by the Company. Indemnification payments
requested by Indemnitee under Section 3 hereof shall be

 4.

 

made by the Company no later than sixty (60) days after receipt of the written request of
Indemnitee. Claims for advancement of expenses shall be made under the provisions of Section 6
herein.

          (c) Application for Enforcement. In the event the Company fails to make timely
payments as set forth in Sections 6 or 7(b) above, Indemnitee shall have the right to apply to any
court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of enforcing Indemnitee’s right to indemnification
or advancement of expenses pursuant to this Agreement. In such an enforcement hearing or
proceeding, the burden of proof shall be on the Company to prove by that indemnification or
advancement of expenses to Indemnitee is not required under this Agreement or permitted by
applicable law. Any determination by the Company (including its Board of Directors, stockholders
or independent counsel) that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder, shall not be
a defense by the Company to the action nor create any presumption that Indemnitee is not entitled
to indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder.

          (d) Indemnification of Certain Expenses. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee
against all expenses incurred in connection with any hearing or proceeding under this Section 7
unless the Company prevails in such hearing or proceeding on the merits in all material respects.

     8. Assumption of Defense. In the event the Company shall be requested by Indemnitee
to pay the expenses of any proceeding, the Company, if appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the
defense of such proceeding, or to participate to the extent permissible in such proceeding, with
counsel reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee. Upon assumption of the defense by the Company and the
retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company shall not be liable to Indemnitee under this
Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same
proceeding, provided that Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in such
proceeding at Indemnitee’s sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Indemnitee’s
counsel delivers a written notice to the Company stating that such counsel has reasonably concluded
that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any
such defense or the Company shall not, in fact, have employed counsel or otherwise actively pursued
the defense of such proceeding within a reasonable time, then in any such event the fees and
expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel to defend such proceeding shall be subject to the indemnification
and advancement of expenses provisions of this Agreement.

     9. Insurance. To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies
providing liability insurance for directors, officers, employees, or agents of the Company or of
any subsidiary (“D&O 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 such
director, officer, employee or agent under such policy or policies. If, at the time of the receipt
of a notice of a claim pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company has D&O Insurance in effect, the
Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in
accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter
take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of

 5.

 

Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of
such policies.

     10. Exceptions.

          (a) Certain Matters. Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to indemnify Indemnitee on
account of any proceeding with respect to (i) remuneration paid to Indemnitee if it is determined
by final judgment or other final adjudication that such remuneration was in violation of law (and,
in this respect, both the Company and Indemnitee have been advised that the Securities and Exchange
Commission believes that indemnification for liabilities arising under the federal securities laws
is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable and that claims for indemnification
should be submitted to appropriate courts for adjudication, as indicated in Section 10(d) below);
(ii) a final judgment rendered against Indemnitee for an accounting, disgorgement or repayment of
profits made from the purchase or sale by Indemnitee of securities of the Company against
Indemnitee or in connection with a settlement by or on behalf of Indemnitee to the extent it is
acknowledged by Indemnitee and the Company that such amount paid in settlement resulted from
Indemnitee’s conduct from which Indemnitee received monetary personal profit pursuant to the
provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other provisions
of any federal, state or local statute or rules and regulations thereunder; (iii) a final judgment
or other final adjudication that Indemnitee’s conduct was in bad faith, knowingly fraudulent or
deliberately dishonest or constituted willful misconduct (but only to the extent of such specific
determination); or (iv) on account of conduct that is established by a final judgment as
constituting a breach of Indemnitee’s duty of loyalty to the Company or resulting in any personal
profit or advantage to which Indemnitee is not legally entitled. For purposes of the foregoing
sentence, a final judgment or other adjudication may be reached in either the underlying proceeding
or action in connection with which indemnification is sought or a separate proceeding or action to
establish rights and liabilities under this Agreement.

          (b) Claims Initiated by Indemnitee. Any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify or advance expenses to Indemnitee
with respect to proceedings or claims initiated or brought by Indemnitee against the
Company or its directors, officers, employees or other agents and not by way of defense,
except (i) with respect to proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification
under this Agreement or under any other agreement, provision in the Bylaws or Certificate of
Incorporation or applicable law, or (ii) with respect to any other proceeding initiated by
Indemnitee that is either approved by the Board of Directors or Indemnitee’s participation is
required by applicable law. However, indemnification or advancement of expenses may be provided by
the Company in specific cases if the Board of Directors determines it to be appropriate.

          (c) Unauthorized Settlements. Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to indemnify Indemnitee
under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of a proceeding

 6.

 

effected without the
Company’s written consent. Neither the Company nor Indemnitee shall unreasonably withhold consent
to any proposed settlement; provided, however, that the Company may in any event decline to consent
to (or to otherwise admit or agree to any liability for indemnification hereunder in respect of)
any proposed settlement if the Company is also a party in such proceeding and determines in good
faith that such settlement is not in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

          (d) Securities Act Liabilities. Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to indemnify Indemnitee
or otherwise act in violation of any undertaking appearing in and required by the rules and
regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or in any
registration statement filed with the SEC under the Act. Indemnitee acknowledges that paragraph
(h) of Item 512 of Regulation S-K currently generally requires the Company to undertake in
connection with any registration statement filed under the Act to submit the issue of the
enforceability of Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement in connection with any liability under
the Act on public policy grounds to a court of appropriate jurisdiction and to be governed by any
final adjudication of such issue. Indemnitee specifically agrees that any such undertaking shall
supersede the provisions of this Agreement and to be bound by any such undertaking.

     11. Nonexclusivity and Survival of Rights. The provisions for indemnification and
advancement of expenses set forth in this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other
rights which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under any provision of applicable law, the
Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or other agreements, both as to action in
Indemnitee’s official capacity and Indemnitee’s action as an agent of the Company, in any court in
which a proceeding is brought, and Indemnitee’s rights hereunder shall continue after Indemnitee
has ceased acting as an agent of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors, administrators and assigns of Indemnitee. The obligations and duties of the Company to
Indemnitee under this Agreement shall be binding on the Company and its successors and assigns
until terminated in accordance with its terms. The Company shall require any successor (whether
direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of
the business or assets of the Company, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in
the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such
succession had taken place.

     No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or
restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by
such Indemnitee in his or her corporate status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To
the extent that a change in the Code, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater
indemnification or advancement of expenses than would be afforded currently under the Company’s
Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto
that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No
right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and
every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy
given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or
employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, by

 7.

 

Indemnitee shall not prevent the
concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy by Indemnitee.

     12. Term. This Agreement shall continue until and terminate upon the later of: (a)
five (5) years after the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director or and/or
officer, employee or agent of the Company; or (b) one (1) year after the final termination of any
proceeding, including any appeal then pending, in respect to which Indemnitee was granted rights of
indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder.

     No legal action shall be brought and no cause of action shall be asserted by or in the right
of the Company against an Indemnitee or an Indemnitee’s estate, spouse, heirs, executors or
personal or legal representatives after the expiration of five (5) years from the date of accrual
of such cause of action, and any claim or cause of action of the Company shall be extinguished and
deemed released unless asserted by the timely filing of a legal action within such five-year
period; provided, however, that if any shorter period of limitations is otherwise applicable to
such cause of action, such shorter period shall govern.

     13. Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be
subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who, at
the request and expense of the Company, shall execute all papers required and shall do everything
that may be reasonably necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents
necessary to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

     14. Interpretation of Agreement. It is understood that the parties hereto intend this
Agreement to be interpreted and enforced so as to provide indemnification to Indemnitee to the
fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by law.

     15. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, (a) the validity, legality and enforceability
of the remaining provisions of the Agreement (including without limitation, all portions of any
paragraphs of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby; and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this
Agreement (including, without limitation, all portions of any paragraph of this Agreement
containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves
invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent
manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable and to give effect to Section 14
hereof.

     16. Amendment and Waiver. No supplement, modification, amendment, or cancellation 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 be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other
provision hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

     17. Notice. Except as otherwise provided herein, any notice or demand which, by the
provisions hereof, is required or which may be given to or served upon the parties hereto shall be
in writing and, if by telegram, telecopy or telex, shall be deemed to have been validly served,
given or delivered when sent, if by overnight delivery, courier or personal delivery, shall be
deemed to have been validly served,

 8.

 

given or delivered upon actual delivery and, if mailed, shall
be deemed to have been validly served, given or delivered three (3) business days after deposit in
the United States mail, as registered or certified mail, with proper postage prepaid and addressed
to the party or parties to be notified at the addresses set forth on the signature page of this
Agreement (or such other address(es) as a party may designate for itself by like notice). If to
the Company, notices and demands shall be delivered to the attention of the Secretary of the
Company.

     18. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed exclusively by and construed
