WHEREAS, Maryland law permits the Company to enter into contracts with its officers or members of its Board of Directors with respect to indemnification of, and

WHEREAS, to induce the Indemnitee to continue to provide services to the Company as an officer and/or a member of the Board of Directors, and to provide the

Bylaws, or any acquisition transaction relating to the Company, the Indemnitor desires to provide the Indemnitee with the protections provided for herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee hereby agree as follows:

	DEFINITIONS

For purposes of this Agreement:

(A)"Change of Control" is when the following have occurred and are
continuing:

	the acquisition by any person, including any syndicate or group deemed to be a "person" under Section 13(d)(3)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), of beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, through a purchase, merger or other acquisition transaction
or series of purchases, mergers or other acquisition transactions of the Company's securities entitling that person to exercise more than 50% of the total voting power of all shares of the
Company entitled to vote generally in elections of directors (except that such person will be deemed to have beneficial ownership of all securities that such person has the right to acquire,
whether such right is currently exercisable or is exercisable only upon the occurrence of a subsequent condition); and 

                                                    1

	following the closing of any transaction referred to in the bullet point above, the Company does not have a class of common
securities (or ADRs representing such securities) listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"), the NYSE MKT, NASDAQ or another national securities exchange or listed
or quoted on an exchange or quotation system that is a successor to the NYSE, the NYSE MKT or NASDAQ.

(B)"Corporate Status" describes the status of a person who is or was a director or officer of the Company
or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, partner (limited or general), member, employee or agent of any other foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint
venture, limited liability company, trust, other enterprise (whether conducted for profit or not for profit) or employee benefit plan. The Company shall be deemed to have requested the
Indemnitee to serve an employee benefit plan where the performance of the Indemnitee's duties to the Company also imposes or imposed duties on, or otherwise involves or involved services
by, the Indemnitee to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan.

 (C) "Determination" means a determination that either (x) indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the
circumstances because the Indemnitee has not acted in a manner that would preclude indemnification in accordance with Section 2-418(b)(1) of the Maryland General Corporation Law as in
effect on the date hereof  (a "Favorable Determination") or (y) indemnification of Indemnitee is not proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has acted in a manner that
would preclude indemnification in accordance with Section 2-418(b)(1) of the Maryland General Corporation Law (an "Adverse Determination").

(D)"Disinterested Director" means a director who is not and was not a party to the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought by
Indemnitee and does not otherwise have an interest materially adverse to any interest of the Indemnitee.

(E)"Expenses" shall include all reasonable attorneys' and paralegals' fees, retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees,
travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, and all other disbursements or expenses of the types customarily incurred in
connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating, or being or preparing to be a witness in a Proceeding. Expenses also shall include (i) Expenses
incurred in connection with any appeal resulting from any Proceeding, including without limitation the premium, security for, and other costs relating to any cost bond, supersedeas bond, or
other appeal bond or its equivalent, and (ii) for purposes of Section 8(E) only, Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the interpretation, enforcement or defense of Indemnitee's
rights under this Agreement, by litigation or otherwise. The parties agree that for the purposes of any advancement of Expenses for which Indemnitee has made written demand to the
Company in accordance with this Agreement, all Expenses included in such demand that are certified by affidavit of Indemnitee's counsel as being reasonable in the good faith judgment of
such counsel shall be presumed conclusively to be reasonable. 

                                                2

(F)"Proceeding" includes any action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation (including any formal or informal internal
investigation to which the Indemnitee is made a party by reason of the Corporate Status of the Indemnitee), administrative hearing, or any other proceeding, including appeals therefrom,
whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, including one initiated by the Indemnitee pursuant to paragraph 8 of this Agreement to enforce such Indemnitee's rights under this
Agreement.

(G)"Special Legal Counsel" means a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that is experienced in matters of corporate law and neither presently is, or
in the past two years has been, retained to represent (i) the Indemnitor or the Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party, or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a
claim for indemnification hereunder.

	INDEMNIFICATION

The Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this paragraph 2 and under applicable law, the
Charter, the Bylaws, any other agreement, a vote of stockholders or resolution of the Board of Directors or otherwise if, by reason of such Indemnitee's Corporate Status, such Indemnitee is, or
is threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending, or contemplated Proceeding, including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company. Unless prohibited by paragraph 13 hereof
and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified hereunder, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law in effect from time to time, against
judgments, penalties, fines and settlements and reasonable Expenses actually incurred by or on behalf of such Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter
therein; provided, however, that if such Proceeding was initiated by or in the right of the Company, indemnification may not be made in respect of such Proceeding if the Indemnitee shall have
been finally adjudged to be liable to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification and in that case only for Expenses.  For purposes of this
paragraph 2, excise taxes assessed on the Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall be deemed fines.

	INDEMNIFICATION FOR EXPENSES IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES

(A)Without limiting the effect of any other provision of this Agreement (including the Indemnitee's rights to
indemnification under paragraph 2 and advancement of expenses under paragraph 4), without regard to whether the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under paragraph 2 and without
regard to the provisions of paragraph 6 hereof, to the extent that the Indemnitee is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding to which the Indemnitee is a party by reason of
such Indemnitee's Corporate Status, such Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all reasonable Expenses actually incurred by or on behalf of such Indemnitee in connection therewith.

(B)If the Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues,
or matters in such Proceeding, the Indemnitor shall indemnify the Indemnitee against all reasonable Expenses actually incurred by or on behalf of such Indemnitee in connection with each
successfully resolved claim, issue or matter to the fullest extent permitted by law.

                                                    3

(C)For purposes of this paragraph 3 and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such Proceeding by dismissal, with or without
prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.

	ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to paragraph 13 hereof, if the Indemnitee is or was
or becomes a party to or is otherwise involved in any Proceeding (including as a witness), or is or was threatened to be made a party to or a participant (including as a witness) in any such
Proceeding, by reason of the Indemnitee's Corporate Status, or by reason of (or arising in part out of) any actual or alleged event or occurrence related to the Indemnitee's Corporate Status, or
by reason of any actual or alleged act or omission on the part of the Indemnitee taken or omitted in or relating to the Indemnitee's Corporate Status, then the Indemnitor shall advance all
reasonable Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any such Proceeding within twenty (20) days after the receipt by the Indemnitor of a statement from the Indemnitee
requesting such advance from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of the Proceeding; provided that, such statement shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred or to be
incurred by the Indemnitee and shall include or be preceded or accompanied by (i) a written affirmation by the Indemnitee of the Indemnitee's good faith belief that the standard of conduct
necessary for indemnification by the Indemnitor as authorized by this Agreement has been met and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay the amounts advanced if
it should ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met.  The undertaking required by the immediately preceding sentence shall be an unlimited general obligation of
the Indemnitee and need not be secured and shall be accepted without reference to financial ability to make the repayment.

	WITNESS EXPENSES

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that the Indemnitee, by reason of such Indemnitee's
Corporate Status, is a witness (or is required, forced or asked to respond to discovery requests) or otherwise asked to participate for any reason in any Proceeding to which such Indemnitee is
not a party, Indemnitor shall pay all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of such Indemnitee, on an as-incurred basis in accordance with paragraph 4 of this Agreement,
in connection therewith and indemnify the Indemnitee therefor.

	DETERMINATION OF ENTITLEMENT TO AND AUTHORIZATION OF INDEMNIFICATION

(A)To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall submit to the Indemnitor a written request,
including therewith such documentation and information reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification.

(B)The Indemnitor agrees that the Indemnitee shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by law. Indemnification under this Agreement may not be
made unless authorized for a specific Proceeding after a Determination has been made in accordance with this paragraph 6(B) that indemnification of the Indemnitee is permissible in the
circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the standard for indemnification under Maryland law, namely that it has not been

                                                    4

established that: (a) the act or omission of the
Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the Proceeding and (x) was committed in bad faith or (y) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (b) the
Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the
act or omission was unlawful.  Any Determination shall be made within thirty (30) days after receipt of Indemnitee's written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 6(A) and such
Determination shall be made either (i) by the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum, so long as Indemnitee does not request that such Determination be made by Special
Legal Counsel, or (ii) if so requested by Indemnitee, in Indemnitee's sole discretion, by Special Legal Counsel in a written opinion to the Indemnitor and Indemnitee. If a Determination is made
that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to the Indemnitee shall be made within fifteen (15) business days after such Determination. Indemnitee shall reasonably 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 Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the Disinterested Directors or Special Legal Counsel, as the case may be, making such determination shall be
advanced and borne by the Indemnitor in accordance with paragraph 4 of this Agreement (irrespective of the Determination as to Indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification). If the person,
persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 6(B) of this Agreement to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a Favorable Determination
within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Indemnitor of the request therefor, the requisite Determination of entitlement to indemnification shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, be
deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to
make Indemnitee's statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law; provided, however,
that such thirty (30) day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional fifteen (15) days, if the person, persons or entity making the Determination with respect to
entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires such additional time for the obtaining or evaluating of documentation and/or information relating thereto; and provided, further, that the
foregoing provisions of this Section 6(B) shall not apply if the Determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Special Legal Counsel pursuant to Section 6(E). 

(C)The Indemnitor shall be bound by and shall have no right to challenge a Favorable Determination. If an Adverse Determination is made, or if for any other
reason the Indemnitor does not make timely indemnification payments or advancement of Expenses required by this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall have the right to commence a Proceeding
before a court of competent jurisdiction to challenge such Adverse Determination and/or to require the Indemnitor to make such payments or advancement of expenses (and the Indemnitor
shall have the right to defend their position in such Proceeding and to appeal any adverse judgment in such Proceeding). The Indemnitee shall be entitled to have such Expenses advanced by
the Indemnitor in accordance with paragraph 4 of this Agreement and applicable law. If the Indemnitee fails to challenge an Adverse Determination within ninety (90) business days, or if
Indemnitee challenges an Adverse Determination and such Adverse Determination has been upheld by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be taken,
then, to the extent and only to the extent required by such Adverse Determination or final judgment, the Indemnitor shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee under this
Agreement.

                                                    5

(D)The Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person or entity making such Determination with respect to the Indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification,
including providing upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to the
Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any reasonable costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by the Indemnitee in so
cooperating shall be borne by the Indemnitor (irrespective of the determination as to the Indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification) and the Indemnitor hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold
the Indemnitee harmless therefrom.

(E)In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Special Legal Counsel pursuant to Section 6(B) hereof, the Special Counsel
shall be selected by Indemnitee and Indemnitee shall give a written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the Special Counsel so selected. The Indemnitor may, within seven (7)
days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Indemnitee a written objection to such selection. Such objection may be asserted only on the grounds that the
Special Legal Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of "Special Legal Counsel" as defined in paragraph 1 of this Agreement. If such written objection is made, the
Special Legal Counsel so selected may not serve as Special Legal Counsel until a court has determined that such objection is without merit or until such objection is withdrawn. If, within twenty
(20) days after submission by the Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 6(A) hereof, no Special Legal Counsel shall have been selected or, if selected, shall
have been objected to, either the Indemnitor or the Indemnitee may petition a court for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Indemnitor or the Indemnitee to the other's
selection of Special Legal Counsel and/or for the appointment as Special Legal 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 an objection is so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Special Legal Counsel under Section 6(B) hereof. The Indemnitor shall pay all reasonable fees and
expenses of Special Legal Counsel incurred in connection with acting pursuant to Section 6(B) hereof, and all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the selection of such Special Legal
Counsel pursuant to this Section 6(D). In the event that a determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Special Legal Counsel and such determination shall not have been
made and delivered in a written opinion within ninety (90) days after the receipt by the Indemnitor of the Indemnitee's request in accordance with Section 6(A), upon the due commencement of
any judicial proceeding in accordance with Section 8(A) of this Agreement, Special Legal Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity.

	PRESUMPTIONS

(A)It shall be presumed that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (notwithstanding any
Adverse Determination), and the Indemnitor or any other person or entity challenging such right 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.  Neither the failure of the Company (including by its Disinterested Directors or Special Counsel) to have made a
Favorable Determination prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement nor an Adverse Determination shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that
Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

                                                    6

(B)(1) The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, or settlement does not create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet the requisite
standard of conduct described herein for indemnification and (2) the termination of any Proceeding by conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of
probation prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct described herein for indemnification.

	REMEDIES

(A)Subject to Section 8(E), in the event that: (i) an Adverse Determination is made, or (ii) advancement of reasonable
Expenses is not timely made pursuant to this Agreement, or (iii) payment of indemnification due the Indemnitee under this Agreement is not timely made, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to an
adjudication in an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction of such Indemnitee's entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses.

(B)In the event that an Adverse Determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 6(B) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this paragraph 8 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits. The fact that an
Adverse Determination has been made earlier pursuant to paragraph 6 of this Agreement that the Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification shall not be taken into account in any judicial
proceeding commenced pursuant to this paragraph 8 and the (i) Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced in any way by reason of that Adverse Determination and (ii) the Indemnitor shall have the
burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the case may be.

(C)If a Favorable Determination shall have been made or deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 6(B) of this Agreement that the Indemnitee is
entitled to indemnification, the Indemnitor shall be bound by such Determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this paragraph 8, absent: (i) a misstatement by
the Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make the Indemnitee's statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or
(ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.

(D)The Indemnitor shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this
paragraph 8 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court that the Indemnitor is bound by all the
provisions of this Agreement.

(E)In the event that the Indemnitee, pursuant to this paragraph 8, seeks a judicial adjudication of such Indemnitee's rights under, or to recover damages for
breach of, this Agreement, if successful on the merits or otherwise as to all or less than all claims, issues or matters in such judicial adjudication, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from
the Indemnitor, and shall be indemnified by the Indemnitor against, any and all reasonable Expenses actually incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with each successfully resolved claim,
issue or matter.

                                                    7

(F)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Determination as to entitlement of the Indemnitee to indemnification under this Agreement
shall be required to be made prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding.

	NOTIFICATION AND DEFENSE OF CLAIMS

The Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the Indemnitor in writing 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,
but the failure so to notify the Indemnitor will not relieve the Indemnitor from any liability that the Indemnitor may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement unless the Indemnitor can establish
that such omission to notify resulted in actual and material prejudice to which it cannot be reversed or otherwise eliminated without any material negative effect on the Indemnitor. With respect
to any such Proceeding as to which Indemnitee notifies the Indemnitor of the commencement thereof:

(A)The Indemnitor will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense.

(B)Except as otherwise provided below, the Indemnitor will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee. After
notice from the Indemnitor to Indemnitee of the Indemnitor's election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnitor will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise provided below. Indemnitee shall have the
right to employ Indemnitee's own counsel in such Proceeding, but the fees and disbursements of such counsel incurred after notice from the Indemnitor of the Indemnitor's assumption of the
defense thereof shall be at the expense of Indemnitee unless (a) the employment of counsel by the Indemnitee has been authorized by the Indemnitor, (b) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably
concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such action, (c) such Proceeding seeks penalties or other relief
against the Indemnitee with respect to which the Indemnitor could not provide monetary indemnification to the Indemnitee (such as injunctive relief or incarceration) or (d) the Indemnitor shall
not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, in each of which cases the fees and disbursements of counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnitor. The
Indemnitor shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Indemnitor, or as to which the Indemnitee shall have reached the conclusion specified in
clause (b) above, or which involves penalties or other relief against the Indemnitee of the type referred to in clause (c) above.

(C)The Indemnitor shall not settle any action or claim in any manner that would impose any penalty or limitation on the Indemnitee without the Indemnitee's
written consent. The Indemnitee will not unreasonably withhold or delay consent to any proposed settlement.

                                                    8

	NON-EXCLUSIVITY; SURVIVAL OF RIGHTS; INSURANCE SUBROGATION

(A)The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of reasonable Expenses as provided by this Agreement
shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Charter, the Bylaws, any other agreement, a vote of
stockholders, a resolution of the Board of Directors or otherwise, except that any payments otherwise required to be made by the Indemnitor hereunder shall be offset by any and all amounts
received by the Indemnitee from any other indemnitor or under one or more liability insurance policies maintained by an indemnitor or otherwise and shall not be duplicative of any other
payments received by an Indemnitee from the Indemnitor in respect of the matter giving rise to the indemnity hereunder; provided, however, that if indemnification rights are provided by an
Additional Indemnitor as defined in Section 18(B) hereof, such Section shall govern. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or any provision hereof shall be effective as to the
Indemnitee with respect to any action taken or omitted by the Indemnitee prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal.

(B)To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors and officers of the Company, the
Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available and upon any Change of Control the Company shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain or arrange for reasonable continuation and/or "tail" coverage for the Indemnitee. At the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim
pursuant to the terms hereof, 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 commercially reasonable efforts to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in
accordance with the terms of such policies.

(C)Except as otherwise provided in Section 18(B) hereof, in the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Indemnitor shall be subrogated to the extent
of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all actions necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such
documents as are necessary to enable the Indemnitor to bring suit to enforce such rights.

(D)Except as otherwise provided in Section 18(B) hereof, the Indemnitor shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise
indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that the Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement, or otherwise.

	CONTINUATION OF INDEMNITY

(A)All agreements and obligations of the Indemnitor contained herein shall continue during the period the Indemnitee
is an officer or a member of the Board of Directors of the Company and shall continue thereafter so long as the Indemnitee shall be subject to any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding
by reason of such Indemnitee's Corporate Status and during the period of statute of limitations for any act or omission occurring during the Indemnitee's term of Corporate Status. This
Agreement shall be binding upon the Indemnitor and its respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee and such Indemnitee's heirs, executors and
administrators.

(B)The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially all, of
the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, 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.

                                                    9

	SEVERABILITY

If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever,
(i) the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this Agreement containing any such
provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and (ii) to the fullest extent possible,
the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is
not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provisions held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

	EXCEPTIONS TO RIGHT OF INDEMNIFICATION OR ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification or advancement
of reasonable Expenses under this Agreement with respect to any Proceeding (i) initiated by such Indemnitee against the Indemnitor other than a proceeding commenced pursuant to

	NOTICE TO THE COMPANY STOCKHOLDERS.

be reported in writing to the stockholders of the Company with the notice of the next Company stockholders' meeting or prior to the meeting.

	HEADINGS

The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the
construction thereof.

	MODIFICATION AND WAIVER

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

	NOTICES

All notices, requests, demands, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been
duly given if (i) delivered by hand or by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service and received by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been directed, or (ii)
mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date on which it is so mailed, if so delivered or mailed, as the case may be, to the following
addresses:

If to the Indemnitee, to the address set forth in the records of the Company.

If to the Indemnitor, to:

Pernix Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. 

                       10 North Park Place

                       Morristown, New Jersey 07960

                       Attention: Chief Executive Officer

or to such other address as may have been furnished to the Indemnitee by the Indemnitor or to the Indemnitor by the Indemnitee, as the case may be.

	CONTRIBUTION

(A)To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is
unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for judgments, penalties,
fines and settlements and Expenses actually incurred by or on behalf of an Indemnitee, in connection with any claim relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion
as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee as a result of the
event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such Proceeding; and/ or (ii) the relative fault of the Company (and its directors, officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee in connection
with such event(s) and/or transaction(s).

(B)The Company acknowledges and agrees that as between the Company and any other entity that has provided indemnification rights in respect of
Indemnitee's service as a director of the Company at the request of such entity (an "Additional Indemnitor"), the Company shall be primarily liable to Indemnitee as set forth in this
Agreement for any indemnification claim (including, without limitation, any claim for advancement of Expenses) by Indemnitee in respect of any Proceeding for which Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification hereunder. In the event the Additional Indemnitor is liable to any extent to Indemnitee by virtue of indemnification rights provided by the Additional Indemnitor to Indemnitee in
respect of Indemnitee's service on the Board of Directors at the request of the Additional Indemnitor and Indemnitee is also entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (including, without
limitation, for advancement of Expenses) as a result of any Proceeding, the Company shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount of any indemnification claim (including, without limitation,
any claim for advancement of Expenses) brought by the Indemnitee against the Company under this Agreement (including, without limitation, any claim for advancement of Expenses) without
requiring the Additional Indemnitor to contribute to such payment, and the Company hereby waives and relinquishes to the fullest extent permitted by law any right of contribution, subrogation
or any other right of recovery of any kind it may have against the Additional Indemnitor in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Additional
Indemnitor on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Additional Indemnitor shall be
subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee against the Company.

                                                   11

	GOVERNING LAW

The parties agree that this Agreement, all claims or causes of action arising hereunder and the
legal relations among the parties shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Maryland, without application of the conflict of laws principles
thereof.

	NO ASSIGNMENTS

The Indemnitee may not assign its rights or delegate obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of
the Indemnitor. Any assignment or delegation in violation of this paragraph 19 shall be null and void.

	NO THIRD PARTY RIGHTS

Except for the rights of an Additional Indemnitor under paragraph 17(B) hereof: (a) nothing expressed or referred to in this
Agreement will be construed to give any person other than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of
this Agreement; and (b) this Agreement and all of its provisions are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their successors and permitted assigns.

                                                   12
