	1.	Exercise of Option. 

 1.1. I am
exercising my right to purchase the number of shares of common stock of Nextest Systems Corporation as indicated on Line (H) by exercising the option identified on Lines (D) through (G). The per share purchase price of the option is
indicated on Line (E) and the aggregate purchase price of the shares I am purchasing is indicated on Line (I). I acknowledge that I may be responsible for tax withholding on the shares, in which case the aggregate purchase price would be as
indicated on Line (K) (which the Company will complete). The shares that I am purchasing by exercising my option are referred to in this Agreement as the “Shares.” The total purchase price of the Shares is referred to in this
Agreement as the “Purchase Price.” I acknowledge that the option I am exercising was issued under and is subject to the rules of Nextest Systems Corporation 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. 
 1.2. With this signed agreement, I have submitted either (a) cash or a check for the amount of the Purchase Price, (b) irrevocable wire
transfer instructions for the Purchase Price, or (c) another form of payment for the Purchase Price as is permitted under this Agreement or by the written approval of the Company. 
  

	2.	Company’s Rights of Repurchase. 

 2.1. Right of Repurchase for Reverse Vesting. If the Shares are not completely vested, I acknowledge that, if my employment with the Company is Terminated (as defined in the Plan), the Company can elect to repurchase any or
all of the unvested Shares during the seven months following my Termination for the lesser of: (i) the Purchase Price of the Shares, minus any cash dividends paid or payable with respect to the Shares for which the record date precedes the
repurchase and (ii) the fair market value of the Shares as of the date of my Termination (determined in accordance with the Plan). 

 2.2. Escrow. To enforce any restrictions on the Shares including the Company’s right
to repurchase the Shares, I acknowledge that I may be required to deposit the certificates representing the Shares, with stock powers or other transfer instruments endorsed in blank, with the Company or an agent of the Company to hold in escrow
until the Shares have vested and restrictions have lapsed or terminated. I further acknowledge that the certificates representing the Shares may contain legends referencing the restrictions on the Shares and any other legends deemed appropriate by
counsel to the Company. 
 2.3. Sales Prohibited. I acknowledge that I may not sell or transfer the shares while they are
subject to the Company’s right of repurchase. 
  

	3.	Representations 

 3.1.
Taxes. The Company has made no warranties or representations to me with respect to the income tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and I am not relying on the Company or its representatives for an
assessment of such tax consequences. I have had adequate opportunity to consult with my personal tax advisor prior to submitting this Agreement to the Company. I also acknowledge I must meet such withholding obligations as the Company imposes as is
required by applicable law. 
 3.2. Repurchase. If the Shares are subject to a right of repurchase in favor of the Company at
their original Purchase Price when I cease to provide services for the Company, or if I could be subject to suit under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with respect to the purchase of the Shares, I will execute and deliver
to the Company a copy of the Acknowledgment and Statement of Decision Regarding Election Pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Acknowledgment”) attached as Exhibit A. I acknowledge that I am primarily
responsible for filing any Section 83(b) elections although the Company will, as an accommodation to me and without assuming any liability, file a duplicate election if I promptly provide an executed form with the Acknowledgement and Statement
of Decision Regarding Section 83(b). I will consult with my own tax advisor to determine if there is a comparable election to file in the state of where I reside and whether filing a federal or state Section 83(b) election is desirable
under my circumstances. 
 3.3. Disqualifying Dispositions of ISO Stock. I acknowledge that if the Stock acquired by exercise
of an Incentive Stock Option (as defined in Section 2.1 of the Plan) is disposed of within two years after the Grant Date (as defined in the Option Grant) or within one year after such exercise, immediately prior to the disposition I will
promptly notify the Company in writing of the date and terms of the disposition and will provide such other information regarding the disposition as the Company may reasonably require. 

	4.	Miscellaneous Provisions. 

 4.1. Successors and Assigns. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, the benefits and obligations of this Agreement will be binding on the executors, administrators, heirs, legal representatives, successors,
and assigns of the parties. 
 4.2. Costs. I will repay the Company for all costs and damages, including incidental and
consequential damages and attorney’s fees, resulting from any transfer of the Shares which is not in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. 
 4.3. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware excluding those laws that direct the application of the laws of another
jurisdiction. 
 4.4. Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing. Unless and until
I am notified in writing to the contrary, all notices, communications, and documents directed to the Company and related to the Agreement, if not delivered by hand, shall be mailed, addressed to: 
 Nextest Systems Corporation 
 Attention:
                                        
     
 at the Company’s published principal office location. 
 4.5. Communications. Unless and until I notify the Company in writing to the contrary, all notices, communications, and documents intended
for me and related to this Agreement, if not delivered by hand, shall be mailed to my last known address as shown on the Company’s books. Notices and communications shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid; documents shall be mailed
by registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. All mailings and deliveries related to this Agreement shall be deemed received when actually received, if by hand delivery, and three business days after mailing, if by mail. 

4.6. Arbitration. All disputes arising out of this Agreement will be finally settled by arbitration in accordance with the then existing
rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration will be conducted in Santa Clara County. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over it; provided that nothing in this
Agreement shall prevent a party from applying to a court of competent jurisdiction to obtain temporary relief pending resolution of the dispute through arbitration. The parties agree that service of any notices in the course of such arbitration at
their respective addresses as provided for in this agreement shall be valid and sufficient. 

 4.7. This is not an employment contract. This Agreement is not to be interpreted as a
guarantee or contract of continuing employment.

 Exhibit 10.6 
 INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 
 INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT, made this
             day of                 , 2004 between Nextest Systems Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”) and                  (the “Indemnitee”). 
 BACKGROUND: 
 A. The Indemnitee is a
director or officer of the Company. 
 B. Highly competent persons have become more reluctant to serve publicly-held corporations as
directors or in other capacities unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance or adequate indemnification against inordinate risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of
the corporation. 
 C. In recognition of Indemnitee’s need for substantial protection against personal liability in order to enhance
Indemnitee’s continued service to the Company in an effective manner and Indemnitee’s reliance on the provisions of the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended from time to time (“Certificate of
Incorporation”) and the Company’s Bylaws, as amended from time to time (the “Bylaws”) requiring indemnification of the Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law, and in part to provide Indemnitee
with specific contractual assurance that the protection promised by the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws will be available to Indemnitee (regardless of, among other things, any amendment to or revocation of the Certificate of Incorporation or
Bylaws or any change in the composition of the Company’s Board of Directors or acquisition transaction relating to the Company), the Company wishes to provide in this Agreement for the indemnification of and the advancing of expenses to
Indemnitee to the fullest extent (whether partial or complete) permitted by law and as set forth in this Agreement. 
 D. The Certificate of
Incorporation, the Bylaws and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”) expressly provide that the indemnification provisions set forth therein are not exclusive and thereby contemplate that contracts may
be entered into between the Company and members of the board of directors, officers and other persons with respect to indemnification. 
 E.
It is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, the foregoing persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue
to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be indemnified. 

 F. This Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder. 
 AGREEMENT: 
 Section 1. Basic Indemnification Agreement. (a) If Indemnitee
was, is or becomes a party to or witness or other participant in, or is threatened to be made a party to or witness or other participant in, a Claim (as defined in Section 9(b) herein) by reason of (or arising in part out of) an Indemnifiable
Event (as defined in Section 9(d) herein), the Company will indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law as soon as practicable but in any event no later than 30 days after written demand is presented to the Company, against any
and all Expenses (as defined in Section 9(c) herein), judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection therewith) of the Claim actually and
reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with the Claim and any federal, state, local or foreign taxes imposed on Indemnitee as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under this Agreement. If requested by
Indemnitee in writing, the Company will advance (within ten business days of written request) any and all Expenses to Indemnitee (an “Expense Advance”). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, and except as
provided in Section 3, prior to a Change of Control (as defined in Section 9 herein) and except as set forth in Sections 1(b) and 7, Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement in connection with any Claim
(i) initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or any director or officer of the Company unless the Company has joined in or consented to the initiation of the Claim; (ii) made on account of Indemnitee’s conduct which constitutes a
breach of Indemnitee’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders or is an act or omission not in good faith or which involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law; or (iii) arising from the purchase and sale by
Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the indemnification obligations of the Company under Section 1(a) are subject to the condition that the Reviewing Party (as defined in Section 9(f)) has not
determined (in a written opinion, in any case in which the special independent counsel referred to in Section 2 hereof is involved) that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law, and (ii) the obligation of
the Company to make an Expense Advance pursuant to Section 1(a) is subject to the 

  

 2 

 
condition that the Company receives an undertaking that, if, when and to the extent that the Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee would not be
permitted to be so indemnified under applicable law, the Company will be entitled to be reimbursed by Indemnitee (who hereby agrees to reimburse the Company) for all such amounts theretofore paid; provided, however, that if Indemnitee has commenced
legal proceedings in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Court”) to secure a determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable law, any determination made by the Reviewing Party
that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law will not be binding and Indemnitee will not be required to reimburse the Company for any Expense Advance until a final judicial determination is made with respect thereto
(as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed). Indemnitee’s obligation to reimburse the Company for Expense Advances will be unsecured and no interest will be charged thereon. If there has not been a Change in
Control, the Reviewing Party will be selected by the Board of Directors, and if there has been a Change in Control, the Reviewing Party will be the special independent counsel referred to in Section 2 hereof. If there has been no determination
by the Reviewing Party or if the Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee substantively would not be permitted to be indemnified in whole or in part under applicable law, Indemnitee will have the right to commence litigation in the Court of
Chancery of the State of Delaware seeking an initial determination by the court or challenging any such determination by the Reviewing Party or any aspect thereof and the Company hereby consents to service of process and to appear in any such
proceeding. Any determination by the Reviewing Party otherwise will be conclusive and binding on the Company and Indemnitee. The Company will indemnify Indemnitee for Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the successful establishment or
enforcement, in whole or in part, by Indemnitee of Indemnitee’s right to indemnification or advances hereunder. 
 Section 2.
Change in Control. The Company agrees that, if there is a Change in Control of the Company (other than a Change in Control which has been approved by two- thirds or more of the Company’s Board of Directors who were directors
immediately prior to such Change in Control), then with respect to all matters thereafter arising concerning the rights of Indemnitee to indemnity payments and Expense Advances under this Agreement or any other agreement, the Bylaws or Certificate
of Incorporation now or hereafter in effect relating to Claims for Indemnifiable Events, the Company will seek legal advice only from special independent counsel selected by Indemnitee and approved by the Company (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) and who has not otherwise performed services for the Company within the last five years (other than in connection with such matters) or for Indemnitee. If Indemnitee and the Company are unable to agree on the
selection of the special independent counsel, special independent counsel shall be selected by lot from among at least five law firms with offices in the State of Delaware having more than fifty attorneys, having a rating of “av” 

  

 3 

 
or better in the then current Martindale Hubbell Law Directory and having attorneys which specialize in corporate law. This selection will be made in the
presence of Indemnitee (and his legal counsel or either of them, as Indemnitee may elect). Selected counsel, among other things, will, within 90 days of its retention, render its written opinion to the Company and Indemnitee as to whether and to
what extent Indemnitee would be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the special independent counsel referred to above and to fully indemnify this counsel against any and all expenses
(including attorneys’ fees), claims, liabilities, and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto. 
 Section 3. Additional Expenses/Expense Advance. The Company will indemnify Indemnitee against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and, if requested by Indemnitee in writing, will advance (within ten business
days of written request) these expenses to Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Claim asserted against or action brought by Indemnitee for (i) indemnification or advance payment of Expenses by the Company under
this Agreement or any other agreement, the Bylaws or Certificate of Incorporation now or hereafter in effect relating to Claims for Indemnifiable Events or (ii) recovery under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies
maintained by the Company, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to indemnification, advance expense payment or insurance recovery, as the case may be. Indemnitee will qualify for advances solely upon the execution
and delivery to the Company of an undertaking providing that Indemnitee undertakes to repay the advance to the extent that it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. 
 Section 4. Partial Indemnity, Etc. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provisions of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company of
some or a portion of the Expenses, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement of a Claim but not, however, for all of the total amount thereof, the Company will indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which
Indemnitee is entitled. Moreover, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any or all Claims relating in whole or in part to an Indemnifiable
Event or in defense of any issue or matter therein, including dismissal without prejudice, Indemnitee will be indemnified against all Expenses incurred in connection therewith. In connection with any determination by the Reviewing Party or otherwise
as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified hereunder the burden of proof will be on the Company to establish that Indemnitee is not so entitled. 
  

 4 

 Section 5. No Presumption. For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any action,
suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any particular standard of
conduct or have any particular belief. 
 Section 6. Notification and Defense of Claim. Within 30 days after receipt by
Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of a Claim which may involve an Indemnifiable Event (as defined in Section 9(d)), Indemnitee must, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Agreement, submit to the
Company a written notice identifying the proceeding, but the omission to notify the Company will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement unless the Company is materially prejudiced by the lack of
notice. With respect to any Claim as to which Indemnitee notifies the Company of the commencement thereof: 
 (a) the Company will be
entitled to participate therein at its own expense; 
 (b) except as otherwise provided below, to the extent that it may wish, the Company
jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to Indemnitee. After notice from the Company to Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense thereof, the
Company 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 its own counsel in the action, suit or proceeding, but the fees and expenses of its own counsel incurred after notice from the Company of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of
Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been authorized by the Company, (ii) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and the Indemnitee in the
conduct of the defense of the action, or (iii) the Company has not employed counsel to assume the defense of the action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel to Indemnitee shall be at the expense of the Company. The Company
will not be entitled to assume the defense of any claim brought by or on behalf of the Company or as to which Indemnitee shall have made the conclusion provided for in clause (ii) above; and 
 (c) the Company will not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim effected
without its written consent. The Company will not settle any action or claim in any manner which would impose any penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s written consent. Neither the Company nor Indemnitee will unreasonably
withhold or delay their consent to any proposed settlement. 
  

 5 

 Section 7. Non-exclusivity, Etc. The rights of Indemnitee hereunder will be in
addition to any other rights Indemnitee may have under the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, the DGCL, any agreement, a vote of the stockholders, a resolution of directors or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or
of any provision hereof will limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by Indemnitee acting on behalf of the Company and at the request of the Company prior to the amendment, alteration
or repeal. To the extent that a change in the DGCL (whether by statute or judicial decision), the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws permits greater indemnification by agreement than would be afforded currently under the Certificate of
Incorporation, the Bylaws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits afforded by the 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, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy. 
 Section 8. Liability
Insurance. To the extent the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, Indemnitee must be covered by the policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to
the maximum extent of the coverage available for any Company director or officer. If, at the time the Company receives notice from any source of a Claim as to which Indemnitee is a party or a participant (as a witness or otherwise), the Company has
director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company must give prompt notice of the Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company will thereafter take all necessary or
desirable action to cause the insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of the Claim in accordance with the terms of the policies. In the event of a Potential Change in Control (as defined in Section 9 herein),
the Company must maintain in force any and all insurance policies then maintained by the Company providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, in respect of Indemnitee, for a period of six years thereafter. The Company will
indemnify Indemnitee for Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any successful action brought by Indemnitee for recovery under any insurance policy referred to in this Section 8 and will advance to Indemnitee the Expenses of that
action in the manner provided in Section 3 above. 
  

 6 

 Section 9. Certain Definitions. 
 (a) A “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if: 
 (i) before the Company has a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act: 
 (A) the Company, or any material subsidiary of the Company, is merged, consolidated or reorganized into or with another corporation or
other legal person (an “Acquiring Person”) or securities of the Company are exchanged for securities of an Acquiring Person, and as a result of the merger, consolidation, reorganization or exchange less than a majority of the
combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Acquiring Person immediately after the transaction are held, directly or indirectly, in the aggregate by the holders of Voting Securities immediately prior to the transaction;

 (B) the Company, or any material subsidiary of the Company, in any transaction or series of related transactions, sells or
otherwise transfers all or substantially all of its assets to an Acquiring Person, and less than a majority of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Acquiring Person immediately after the sale or transfer are held,
directly or indirectly, in the aggregate by the holders of Voting Securities immediately prior to such sale or transfer; 
 (C) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of the period constitute the directors of the Company cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, unless the election, or the nomination
for election by the Company’s stockholders, of each director of the Company first elected during such period was approved by a unanimous vote of the directors of the Company then still in office who were directors of the Company at the
beginning of the period; 
 (D) the Company and its subsidiaries, in any transaction or series of related transactions, sells
or otherwise transfers business operations that generated two thirds or more of the consolidated revenues (determined on the basis of the Company’s four most recently completed fiscal quarters) of the Company and its subsidiaries immediately
prior thereto; or 
 (E) any other transaction or series of related transactions occur that have substantially the effect of
the transactions specified in any of the preceding clauses in this paragraph (i); or 
  

 7 

 (ii) after the Company has a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the
Exchange Act: 
 (A) any person, as that term is used in Section 13(d) and Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act,
becomes, is discovered to be, or files a report on Schedule 13D or 14D-1 (or any successor schedule, form or report) disclosing that the person is a beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act or any successor rule or
regulation), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 20% or more of the total voting power of the Company’s then outstanding Voting Securities (unless the person is such a beneficial owner prior to, or becomes such a
beneficial owner in connection with, the initial public offering of the Company); 
 (B) during any period of two consecutive
years, individuals who at the beginning of the period constitute the Board of Directors of the Company and any new director whose election by the Board of Directors or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote
of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority
thereof;

 Section 10. Amendments, Termination and Waiver. No supplement, modification, amendment or termination of this Agreement is binding unless
executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement constitute a waiver of any other provisions of this Agreement (whether or not similar) nor does any waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

 Section 11. Contribution. If the indemnification provided in Sections 1 and 3 of this Agreement is unavailable, then, in
respect of any Claim in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in the Claim), the Company will 

  

 10 

 
contribute to the amount of Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement as appropriate to reflect: (i) the relative benefits
received by the Company, on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, from the transaction from which the Claim arose, and (ii) the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of Indemnitee, on the other hand, in connection with
the events which resulted in the Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of Indemnitee, on the other hand,
will be determined by reference to, among other things, the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent the circumstances resulting in the Expenses. The Company and Indemnitee each agree that
it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 11 were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations described in this
Section 11. 
 Section 12. Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company will be subrogated to
the extent of the payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who will execute all papers required and do everything that may be necessary to secure these rights, including the execution of any documents necessary to enable the Company
effectively to bring suit to enforce these rights. 
 Section 13. No Duplication of Payments. The Company will not be liable
under this Agreement to make any payment in connection with any Claim made against Indemnitee to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment (under insurance policy, the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws or otherwise) of the
amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder. 
 Section 14. Binding Effect, Etc. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business or
assets of the Company, spouse, heirs, and personal and legal representatives. This Agreement will continue in effect regardless of whether Indemnitee continues to serve as a director or officer (or in one of the capacities enumerated in
Section 9(d) hereof) of the Company or of any other enterprise at the Board of Director’s request. 
 Section 15.
Severability. The provisions of this Agreement will be severable in the event that any of the provisions hereof (including any provision within a single section, paragraph or sentence) are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid, 

  

 11 

 
void or otherwise unenforceable, and the remaining provisions will remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 
 Section 16. Applicable Law and Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and the legal relations among the parties will be governed by, and
construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. The Company and Indemnitee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agree that any action or proceeding arising out of
or in connection with this Agreement can be brought only in the Delaware Court and not in any other state or federal court in the United States of America or any court in any other country, (ii) consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the Delaware Court for purposes of any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, (iii) appoint, irrevocably, to the extent such party is not a resident of the State of Delaware, Corporation Trust Company, 1209
Orange Street, City of Wilmington, State of Delaware, County of Newcastle as its agent in the State of Delaware as such party’s agent for acceptance of legal process in connection with any action or proceeding against such party with the same
legal force and validity as if served upon that party personally within the State of Delaware, (iv) waive any objection to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding in the Delaware Court, and (v) waive, and agree not to plead or to
make, any claim that any action or proceeding brought in the Delaware Court has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum. 
 Section 17. Identical Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
Agreement. Only one counterpart signed by the party against whom enforceability is sought needs to be produced to evidence the existence of this Agreement.
