Exhibit 10.16

INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

     This Indemnity Agreement, dated as of August 4, 2010 (this “Agreement”), is among Vincent T.
Mo, a natural person, (the “Manager”) and CNED Hengshui Zhong Cheng Wanyuan Home Co., Ltd.
(“Hengshui”), a PRC company, and SouFun Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands limited liability
company.

     WHEREAS, the Manager desires to enter into this Agreement in his individual capacity;

     WHEREAS, the Manager is the executive chairman of SouFun;

     WHEREAS, the Manager the major shareholder and chairman of Hengshui; and

     WHEREAS, Hengshui has entered into certain contractual arrangements with SouFun pursuant to
which SouFun has provided RMB50,000,000 in commitment deposits to Hengshui (the “Commitment
Deposits”) in order to secure SouFun’s position as the exclusive online marketing and listing
service provider for Hengshui.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained, and other good and
valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

     Section 1. Indemnification by the Manager.

     (a) The Manager hereby agrees to indemnify and hold SouFun Holdings Limited (the
“Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages,
judgments, settlements, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, court costs and
reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) (individually, a “Loss” and collectively,
“Losses”) that Indemnitee may sustain or incur as a result of Indemnitee’s granting the
Commitment Deposits to Hengshui, whether as a result of Hengshui’s failure or inability to
repay the Commitment Deposits, regulatory or government actions or lawsuits or private
actions related to the Commitment Deposits, or otherwise; in each case irrespective of the
time when the claim giving rise to such Loss or Losses is asserted or when the amount of
such Loss or Losses is established. For the avoidance of doubt, the Manager is agreeing to
provide the indemnity referred to in the immediately preceding sentence in his individual
capacity, and not in his role as a director or officer of the Indemnitee.

     b) Upon Indemnitee’ written verification of the amount and cause of any Loss or Losses
incurred by Indemnitee, the Manager, shall pay each such Loss covered by this Section
directly as and when due to the Indemnitee entitled thereto.

     c) The Manager agrees that he is entering into this Agreement in his individual,
personal capacity and not in his role as an executive officer or director of the Company.
Further, the Manager agrees to forego and hereby irrevocably waives any recourse or right he
may have to apply indemnity agreements or provisions he may have in his capacity as an
executive officer and director of the Company to cause the Company to reimburse, indemnity
or otherwise hold harmless the Manager against any of the Losses described herein.

     Section 2. Duty to Defend; Advance of Expenses. If any judicial or administrative
proceeding, or threatened proceeding, including any government investigation, whether civil,
criminal or otherwise

 

 

(individually, an “Action” and collectively, “Actions”), is asserted,
commenced or brought against the Indemnitee for which it may be indemnified by the Manager pursuant
to Section 3(a), Indemnitee shall have the right to retain and direct counsel to defend such
Action. If an Action brought by a third party is also brought against the Manager or Hengshui, the
Manager shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Action with counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the Indemnitee. The Manager shall pay all fees and disbursements of such counsel retained in
accordance with the foregoing two sentences. Neither the Manager nor Hengshui shall consent to the
terms of any compromise or settlement of any Action defended by them in accordance with the
foregoing without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee.

     Section 3. Notice of Claims. If Indemnitee receives complaints, claims or other
notices of any Actions, Losses or other liabilities that may give rise to indemnification under
Section 3, Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Manager and Hengshui of each such complaint, claim
or other notice; but the omission to so notify the Manager and Hengshui shall not relieve the
Manager from any liability under this Agreement.

     Section 4. No Lawsuits. The Manager and Hengshui each agrees not to assert, commence
or bring any Action, arbitral proceeding or similar claim against Indemnitee, or prosecute any
lawsuit in any court against Indemnitee on account of the Manager’s role as a senior officer and
director of the Company, or of any act or omission by Indemnitee covered by the Manager’s agreement
to indemnify under Section 1. The Manager further agrees that he will not assert or seek any
indemnification for any Losses or Expenses (as those terms are defined in any Indemnification
Agreement, between the Indemnitee and the Manager such as is customarily entered into between U.S.
listed companies and their directors and officers (the “D&O Indemnification Agreement”) from the
Indemnitee under the D&O Indemnification Agreement, or under any other indemnification or similar
agreements or arrangements between the Manager and the Indemnitee, for any amounts paid or payable
by the Manager to the Indemnitee under this Agreement.

     Section 5. Notices. Any notice or other communication under this Agreement shall be
in writing and deemed given upon receipt by a party at its address set forth on the signature page
hereof or at such other address as such party shall hereafter furnish in writing.

     Section 6. Counterparts; Modification; Headings.

     (a) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall
constitute one and the same instrument, and any party may execute this Agreement by signing any
such counterpart. (b) This Agreement may be executed by facsimile transmission and electronic
mail, and such facsimile and electronic mail signatures shall be binding, of full force and effect
and treated as original signatures. (c) No modification of this Agreement shall be binding unless
executed in writing by the parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted assigns.
(d) Section headings are not part of this Agreement, they are solely for convenience of reference
and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provisions of this Agreement.

     Section 7. Successors and Assigns; Sole Benefit. This Agreement shall be binding
upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors,
administrators, successors and assigns. Nothing expressed or referred to herein is intended or
shall be construed to give any person other than the parties hereto and their respective heirs,
executors, administrators, successors and assigns any legal or equitable rights, remedies or claims
under or with respect to any provisions of this Agreement. No party hereto may assign its
obligations under this Agreement without the prior consent of the other parties hereto.

     Section 8. Agreement Not Exclusive. The right to indemnification provided to
Indemnitee under this Agreement shall be independent of, and neither subject to nor in derogation
of, any other rights to indemnification or exculpation to which the Company may be entitled,
including, without limitation, any such rights that may be asserted under any other agreement,
applicable corporate law, or any other contract or insurance.

     Section 9. Costs of Enforcement. The Manager shall pay all reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by Indemnitee in the enforcement of its rights under this Agreement, including,
without limitation, all court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees.

     Section 10. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application
thereof to any person, place or circumstance, shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to
be invalid, unenforceable or void, the remainder of this Agreement and such provisions as applied
to other persons, places and circumstances shall remain in full force and effect.

     Section 11. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution. This Agreement shall be governed by

arbitrator, who shall serve as chairman of the arbitration tribunal, shall be appointed through the
mutual agreement of the other two arbitrators. The arbitrators shall not have the power to add to,

Exhibit 10.1

RAVEN INDUSTRIES, INC.

INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

(Employee)

     This INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of the _____ day of
________________, 20__, between Raven
Industries, Inc., a South Dakota corporation (the “Company”)
and ______________________ (“Employee”).

BACKGROUND

     A. Employee has either been hired to serve as an employee to the Company or the Company
desires to induce Employee to continue to serve the Company as an employee.

     B. The Company has adopted the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to which shares
of common stock of the Company have been reserved for issuance under the Plan.

     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1. Grant of Option; Purchase Price. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set
forth, the Company hereby irrevocably grants from the Plan to Employee the right and option,
hereinafter called the “Option”, to purchase all or any part of an aggregate of the number of
shares of common stock, $1.00 par value, of the Company (the “Shares”) set forth at the end of this
Agreement after “Number of Shares” at the price per Share set forth at the end of this Agreement
after “Purchase Price.”

     2. Exercise and Vesting of Option. The Option shall be exercisable only to the extent
that all, or any portion thereof, has vested in Employee. Except as provided herein in Section 4,
the Options shall vest in Employee in four (4) cumulative installments, with twenty-five percent
(25%) of the total grant becoming exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of this
Agreement, with an additional twenty-five percent (25%) of the total grant becoming exercisable on
each of the next three (3) successive anniversaries of such date (each such date is hereinafter
referred to singularly as a “Vesting Date” and collectively as “Vesting Dates”), so long as
Employee remains an employee of the Company or has elected “Retirement” (as defined below) from the
Company after the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement.

     3. Termination of Employment. Except as provided in Section 5(a) below, in the event
that Employee ceases to be employed by the Company, for any reason or no reason, with or without
cause, prior to any Vesting Date, that part of the Option scheduled to vest on such Vesting Date,
and all parts of the Option scheduled to vest in the future, shall not vest and all of Employee’s
rights to and under such non-vested parts of the Option shall terminate.

     4. Term of Option. To the extent vested, and except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, the Option shall be exercisable for five (5) years from the date of this Agreement (the
“term”); provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 5(a) below, in the
event Employee ceases to be employed by the Company, for any reason or no reason, Employee or

1

 

his/her legal representative shall have three (3) months from the date of such termination of
his/her position as an employee to exercise any part of the Option vested pursuant to Section 3 of
this Agreement. Upon the expiration of such three (3) month period, except as provided in Section
5(a) or, if earlier, upon the expiration date of the Option as set forth above, the Option shall
terminate and become null and void.

     5. Retirement or Death of Employee.

     (a) “Retirement” is defined as Employee voluntarily terminating employment with the
Company on the first day of any month after Employee’s years of service, plus his/her
attained age, equals or exceeds the sum of 80. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, in the event of Employee’s Retirement after the first anniversary of the
date of this Agreement, the Option shall, to the extent not exercised, continue to vest as
provided in Section 3 hereof and shall be exercisable through the full term of the Option.
Employee acknowledges that any exercise of the Option more than three (3) months after a
Retirement will likely result in the Option being treated as non-qualified under federal tax
law and may result in additional tax payments by Employee.

     (b) In the event of Employee’s death, the person designated in Employee’s will, or in
the absence of such designation, Employee’s legal representative may, in like manner,
exercise the Option to the extent of the number of Shares which were vested at the time of
his/her death, but such right shall expire unless exercised by such designated person or
legal representative within the earlier of (i) three (3) months after the death of Employee,
or (ii) the expiration of the Option.

     6. Method of Exercising Option. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement
and the Plan, the Option may be exercised by written notice to the Company. Such notice shall
state the election to exercise the Option and the number of Shares in respect of which it is being
exercised, and shall be signed by the person or persons so exercising the Option. Such notice
shall be accompanied by payment of the full purchase price of such Shares, in which event the
Company shall deliver a certificate or certificates representing such Shares as soon as practicable
after the notice shall be received. Payment of such purchase price may take the form of cash,
shares of stock of the Company, the total market value of which equals the total purchase price, or
any combination of cash and shares of the Company, the total market value of which equals the total
purchase price. In the event that the Option becomes “non-qualified” under Section 5(a), Employee
may deliver additional Shares to satisfy Employee’s minimum statutory tax withholding requirements
with respect to any exercise of the Option. Any such notice shall be deemed given when received by
the Company at its principal place of business. All Shares that shall be purchased upon the
exercise of the Option as provided herein shall be fully paid and non-assessable.

     7. Rights of Option Holder. Employee, as holder of the Option, shall not have any of
the rights of a shareholder with respect to the Shares covered by the Option except to the

2

 

extent that one or more certificates for such Shares shall be delivered to him or her upon the
due exercise of all or any part of the Option.

     8. Incentive Stock Option. Subject to Section 5(a) hereof, the Company intends that
the Option shall be an incentive stock option governed by the provisions of Section 422 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The terms of the Plan and the Option shall
be interpreted and administered so as to satisfy the requirements of the Code.

     9. Limitations on Transferability. The Option shall not be transferred, pledged or
otherwise assigned; and the Company shall not be required to recognize any attempted assignment of
the Option. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Option may be transferred, in the event of
Employee’s death, by will or the laws of descent and distribution to the limited extent provided in
the Plan, or otherwise transferred consistent with the Plan and treatment of the Option as an
incentive stock option pursuant to the Code. During Employee’s lifetime, the Option may be
exercised only by him or her, by his or her guardian or legal representative or by any transferee
permitted by this Section 9.

     10. No Continued Employment or Right to Corporate Assets. Nothing contained in this
Agreement shall be deemed to grant Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company for
any period of time or to any right to continue his or her present or any other rate of
compensation, nor shall this Agreement be construed as giving Employee, Employee’s beneficiaries or
any other person any equity or interests of any kind in the assets of the Company or creating a
trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship of any kind between the Company and any such person.

     11. Securities Law Matters. Employee acknowledges that the Shares to be received by
him or her upon exercise of the Option may not have been registered under the Securities Act of
1933 or the Blue Sky laws of any state (collectively, the “Acts”). If such Shares have not been so
registered, Employee acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to
register, under the Acts, the Shares received by him or her or to assist him or her in complying
with any exemption from such registration if he or she should at a later date wish to dispose of
the Shares. Employee acknowledges that if not then registered under the Acts, the Shares shall bear
a legend restricting the transferability thereof, such legend to be substantially in the following
form:

“The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered or qualified
under federal or state securities laws. The shares may not be offered for sale,
sold, pledged or otherwise disposed of unless so registered or qualified, unless an
exemption exists or unless such disposition is not subject to the federal or state
securities laws, and the Company may require that the availability or any exemption
or the inapplicability of such securities laws be established by an opinion of
counsel, which opinion of counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company.”

     12. Employee Representations. Employee hereby represents and warrants that Employee
has reviewed with his/her own tax advisors the federal, state, and local tax

3

 

consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Employee is relying solely
on such advisors and not on any statements or representation of the Company or any of its agents.
Employee understands that he or she will be solely responsible for any tax liability that may
result to him or her as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Option,
if exercised, will be exercised for investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution of
the Shares to be received upon exercise thereof. Employee agrees to hold stock acquired by
exercise of this Option for a period of one year or to notify the Company in writing of the
date of disposition and the sale price of the shares.

     13. General.

     (a) The Option is granted pursuant to the Plan and is governed by the terms thereof.
In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Option Agreement and the terms of the
Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control. The Company shall at all times during the term
of the Option reserve and keep available such number of Shares as will be sufficient to
satisfy the requirements of this Option Agreement.

     (b) Nothing herein expressed or implied is intended or shall be construed as conferring
upon or giving to any person, firm, or corporation other than the parties hereto, any rights
or benefits under or by reason of this Agreement.

     (c) Each party hereto agrees to execute such further documents as may be necessary or
desirable to effect the purposes of this Agreement.

     (d) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall
be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.

     (e) This Agreement, in its interpretation and effect, shall be governed by the laws of
the State of South Dakota applicable to contracts executed and to be performed therein.
