 Registration Rights 
 Demand Registration. 

(s)    Request for Registration. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.1(c) of this
Agreement, if after the earlier to occur of (i) the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement or (ii) a Registration Trigger Event the Company shall receive from Lavazza a Demand Notice, the Company will, as soon as reasonably
practicable, file and use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the requested registration of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 (or any successor form thereto) and, if not then available to the Company, another applicable form (a
“Demand Registration Statement”). Once a Demand Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission, the Company shall maintain its effectiveness for at least one hundred twenty (120) days (or such shorter period as
will terminate when all Registrable Securities covered by such Demand Registration Statement have been sold or withdrawn). For the avoidance of doubt, the Company may, but shall have no obligation to, maintain the effectiveness of any Demand
Registration Statement in respect of any shares of Common Stock that were Registrable Securities at the time a Demand Registration Statement was declared effective but have ceased to be Registrable Securities under the terms of
Section 2.10 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in the event that the Commission or applicable federal securities laws and regulations prohibit the Company from including all of the Registrable Securities
requested by Lavazza to be registered pursuant to this Section 2.1, then the Company shall be obligated to include in such Demand Registration Statement only such limited portion of the Registrable Securities as is permitted by the
Commission or such federal securities laws and regulations. 
 (t)    Demand Withdrawal. Lavazza may
withdraw its Registrable Securities from a Demand Registration at any time. In such case, the Company shall cease all efforts to secure registration and such registration nonetheless shall be deemed a Demand Registration Statement for purposes of
Section 2.1(c)(ii) unless (i) the withdrawal is based on the reasonable determination of Lavazza that there has been, since the date of such request, a material adverse change in the business or prospects of the Company or, based on
the reasonable determination of Lavazza and the Company that there has been, since the date of such request, a material adverse change in general market conditions or (ii) Lavazza shall have paid or reimbursed the Company

  
 3 

 
for all of the Registration Expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the withdrawn registration. 
 (u)    Limitations on Requested Registration. The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, a registration pursuant to any Demand Notice in
accordance with this Section 2.1: 
 (i)    in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company
would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act; 

(ii)    after the Company has filed with the Commission three (3) Demand Registration Statements pursuant to
this Section 2.1 (counting for these purposes only registrations which have been declared or ordered effective); 

(iii)    if the Company has filed with the Commission a Demand Registration Statement pursuant to this
Section 2.1 within the preceding six (6) months, and such Demand Registration Statement has been declared or ordered effective; 
 (iv)    during the period starting with the date thirty (30) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date ninety
(90) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration; provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; or 

(v)    if a Demand Notice request is for a number of Registrable Securities that is smaller than the greater of
(i) one-third (1/3) of the Registrable Securities then held by Lavazza or (ii) one million (1,000,000) shares of Common Stock. 
 (v)    Deferral and Suspension. At anytime after receiving a Demand Notice or after any Demand Registration Statement has become effective, the Company may, upon giving prompt
written notice of such action to Lavazza, defer the filing of or suspend the use of any such Demand Registration Statement if, in the good faith judgment of the Company, the filing or use of a registration statement covering the Registrable
Securities would be detrimental to the Company or its shareholders at such time and the Company concludes, as a result, that it is in the best interests of the Company or its shareholders to defer the filing or suspend the use of such Demand
Registration Statement at such time. The Company shall have the right to defer the filing of or suspend such Demand Registration Statement for a period of not more than one hundred twenty (120) days from the date the Company notifies Lavazza of
such deferral or suspension. In the case of the suspension of any effective Demand Registration Statement, Lavazza, immediately upon receipt of notice thereof from the Company, will discontinue any sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to such
Demand Registration Statement until advised in writing by the Company that the use of such Demand Registration Statement may be resumed. In the case of a deferred Demand Registration Statement, the Company shall provide prompt written notice to
Lavazza of (i) the Company’s decision to file or seek effectiveness of the Demand Registration Statement following such deferral and (ii) the effectiveness of such 

  
 4 

 
Demand Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lavazza shall be entitled, at any time after receiving notice of deferral pursuant to this Section 2.1(d) and before the
Demand Registration Statement becomes effective, to withdraw such Demand Notice request and, if such request is withdrawn, such registration shall not count as one of the permitted Demand Registration Statements pursuant to
Section 2.1(c)(ii) of this Agreement. 
 (w)    Other Shares. Subject to
Section 2.3(d) below, any Demand Registration Statement filed pursuant to a Demand Notice may include Other Shares, and may include securities of the Company being sold for the account of the Company. 

Company Registration. 
 (x)    Company Registration. After the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement, if the Company shall determine to register any of its securities either for its own
account or the account of a security holder or holders, other than a registration pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, a registration relating solely to employee or director benefit plans or employee dividend reinvestment plans, a
registration relating to the offer and sale of debt securities, a registration relating to a corporate reorganization (including, without limitation, by way of merger of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with any other business) or acquisition
of another business or a registration on any registration form that does not permit secondary sales, the Company will: 

(i)    promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to Lavazza; and 

(ii)    include in such registration, except as set forth in Section 2.3(d) below, and in any
underwriting involved therein all of such Registrable Securities as are specified in a written request or requests made by Lavazza received by the Company within ten (10) business days after such written notice from the Company is received by
Lavazza. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in the event that the Commission or applicable federal securities laws and regulations prohibit the Company from including all of the Registrable Securities requested by Lavazza to be registered in
a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.2(a) then the Company shall be obligated to include in such registration statement only such limited portion of the Registrable Securities as is permitted by the Commission or such
federal securities laws and regulations. 
 (y)    Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall
have the right to, in its sole discretion, defer, terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.2 whether or not Lavazza has elected to include any Registrable Securities in such registration. 

Underwriting. 
 (z)    If, pursuant to Section 2.1, Lavazza intends to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by its request by means of an underwriting, it shall so advise the
Company as part of its request made pursuant to Section 2.1(a). 

  
 5 

 (aa)    In connection with any offering pursuant to Section 2.1
involving an underwriting of shares of Common Stock, the Company shall be entitled to select the underwriter or underwriters for such offering, subject to the consent of Lavazza, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed. In connection with any offering pursuant to Section 2.2 involving an underwriting of shares of Common Stock, subject to the rights of any other security holder at whose demand such offering will be effected, the Company shall be
entitled to select the underwriter or underwriters for such offering in its sole discretion. 
 (bb)    In
connection with any offering pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.2 involving an underwriting of shares of Common Stock, the Company will not be required to include any of the Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless Lavazza
(i) accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by the Company in accordance with Section 2.3(b), (ii) enters into an underwriting agreement in customary form with such
underwriter or underwriters, and (iii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, custody agreements, lock-up agreements, indemnitees and other documents required under such underwriting terms. 

(cc)    If the total amount of securities to be sold in any offering pursuant to Section 2.1 or
Section 2.2 exceeds the amount that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company will be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities,
including Registrable Securities and securities of Other Selling Stockholders (subject in each case to the cutback provisions set forth in this Section (d)), that the underwriters and the Company determine in their sole discretion will not
jeopardize the success of the offering. If the registration has been requested pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, the number of shares that are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting will be allocated in the following
manner: (a) first, securities of Other Selling Stockholders requested to be included in such registration will be excluded, (b) second, shares of Company equity securities that the Company desires to include in such
registration will be excluded and (c) third, Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by Lavazza will be excluded. If the registration has been initiated pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, the number
of shares that are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting will be allocated in the following manner: (x) first, securities of Other Selling Stockholders requested to be included in such registration and Registrable
Securities requested to be included in such registration by Lavazza will be excluded (to be apportioned pro rata among Lavazza and the Other Selling Stockholders according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by
each selling stockholder or in such other proportions as mutually agreed to by Lavazza and such Other Selling Stockholders) and (y) second, shares of Company equity securities that the Company desires to include in such registration will
be excluded. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any selling stockholder to the nearest 100 shares. 

Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with registrations pursuant to
Sections 2.1 and 2.2 hereof shall be borne by the Company, except as provided in Section 2.1(b)(ii). All Selling Expenses relating to securities registered on behalf of Lavazza shall be borne solely by Lavazza.

  
 6 

 Registration Procedures. In the case of each registration of Registrable Securities
effected by the Company pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2 hereof, the Company will keep Lavazza advised as to the initiation of each such registration and as to the status thereof. The Company will use its commercially reasonable
efforts, within the limits set forth in this Section 2, to: 
 (dd)    Keep such registration
statement effective for a period of at least one hundred and twenty (120) days from the date on which such registration statement became effective; 
 (ee)    Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as
may be (i) reasonably requested by Lavazza or (ii) necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement for the period set forth in
subsection (a) of this Section 2.5; 
 (ff)    Furnish such number of prospectuses,
including any preliminary prospectuses, and other documents incident thereto, including any amendment of or supplement to the prospectus, and such other documents to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of such securities as is customary
and as Lavazza or any managing underwriter from time to time may reasonably request; 
 (gg)    Use its
commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by a registration statement under this Section 2 to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities of the Company are then listed; 

(hh)    Notify Lavazza, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the
Securities Act, of (i) the issuance of any stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings by any Person to such effect, and promptly use its commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain the release of such suspension or (ii) the occurrence of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and promptly furnish to Lavazza copies of a supplement or amendment of such
prospectus as may be necessary to correct such misstatement or omission; and 
 (ii)    In the case of any
underwritten offering, (i) cause key executives of the Company and its Subsidiaries to participate under the direction of the managing underwriter in a “road show” scheduled by such managing underwriter in such locations and of such
duration as in the reasonable judgment of such managing underwriter are customary and appropriate for such underwritten offering and (ii) obtain all customary legal opinions, auditors’ consents and comfort letters and experts’
cooperation as may be required covering substantially the same matters as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and in accountants’ letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities.

 Lavazza Obligations. 

  
 7 

 (jj)    Discontinuance of Distribution. Lavazza agrees that, upon
receipt of any notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 2.5(e) hereof, Lavazza will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any registration statement
covering such Registrable Securities until Lavazza’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 2.5(e) hereof or receipt of notice that no supplement or amendment is required and that
Lavazza’s disposition of the Registrable Securities may be resumed. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this Section 2.6(a). 

(kk)    Compliance with Prospectus Delivery Requirements. Lavazza covenants and agrees that it will comply
with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it or an exemption therefrom in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to any registration statement filed by the Company pursuant to
Section 2.1 or Section 2.2. 
 Indemnification. 

(ll)    In the event of any registration of any of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to
this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify Lavazza and each of its directors, officers and employees and each Person controlling Lavazza within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities to which any of the foregoing may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary or final prospectus
contained in the such registration statement, or any amendment or supplement to such registration statement or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein (in the case of any prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. The Company will reimburse each of the foregoing for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Person in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable to any such Person in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or
liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement or prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of Lavazza in writing specifically for use in the preparation thereof (including, without limitation, the information provided by Lavazza pursuant to Section 2.8 hereof);
provided, further that this indemnity will not apply to any loss, claim, damage or liability arising from an offer or sale of Registrable Securities occurring during a period in which the availability of the registration statement or any
related prospectus may be suspended (a “Suspension Period”) so long as the Company theretofore provided Lavazza with notice thereof pursuant to Section 2.5(e) hereof. 

(mm)    In the event of any registration of any of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to
this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, Lavazza will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of its directors, officers and employees and each Person controlling the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act 

  
 8 

 
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which any of the foregoing may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (A) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement under which such
Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary or final prospectus contained in such registration statement, or any amendment or supplement to the registration statement or (ii) any omission or alleged omission
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, if the statement or omission was made in
reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of Lavazza in writing, specifically for use in connection with the preparation of such registration statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement (as
applicable) or (B) arise out of or are based upon a sale of Registrable Securities during a Suspension Period so long as the Company theretofore provided Lavazza with notice thereof pursuant to Section 2.5(e) hereof. In no event
shall the liability of Lavazza be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds received by Lavazza under the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation, except in the case of any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based upon fraud or willful misconduct by Lavazza. 

(nn)    Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 2.7 (the
“Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has knowledge of any claim as to which
indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any
litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense; and provided further that
the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 2.7, to the extent such failure is not prejudicial. No Indemnifying Party, in the
defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or
plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Each Indemnified Party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably
request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with the defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom. 
 (oo)    If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.7 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any
loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss,
liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted
in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall 

  
 9 

 
be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by
the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within
the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 
 Information. Lavazza shall furnish to the Company such information regarding Lavazza and the distribution proposed by Lavazza as the Company may reasonably request and as shall be reasonably
required in connection with any registration referred to in this Section 2. Lavazza agrees promptly to furnish to the Company all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Company
by Lavazza not misleading. Any sale of any Registrable Securities by Lavazza shall constitute a representation and warranty by Lavazza that the information relating to Lavazza and its plan of distribution is as set forth in the prospectus delivered
by Lavazza in connection with such disposition, that such prospectus does not, as of the time of such sale, contain any untrue statement of a material fact relating to or provided by Lavazza or its plan of distribution and that such prospectus does
not, as of the time of such sale, omit to state any material fact relating to or provided by Lavazza or its plan of distribution necessary in order to make the statements in such prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading. Lavazza agrees to keep confidential the receipt of any notice received pursuant to Section 2.5(e) and the contents thereof, except as required pursuant to applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, the Company shall be under no obligation to name Lavazza in any registration statement if Lavazza has not provided the information required by this Section 2.8 with respect to Lavazza as a selling securityholder in such
registration statement or any related prospectus. 
 Rule 144 Requirements. With a view to making available to Lavazza
the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and any other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit Lavazza to sell Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its
commercially reasonable efforts to: 
 (pp)    make and keep public information available, as those terms
are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act; 
 (qq)    file with the Commission in a
timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; 

(rr)    furnish to Lavazza upon written request a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company
and such other reports and other publicly available documents as may be reasonably requested by Lavazza to avail itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission which permits Lavazza to sell the Registrable Securities without registration; and

 (ss)    prior to the filing of the registration statement or any amendment thereto (whether pre-effective
or post-effective), and prior to the filing of any prospectus or prospectus 

  
 10 

 
supplement related thereto, to provide Lavazza with copies of all of the pages thereof (if any) that reference Lavazza. 
 Termination of Status as Registrable Securities. The Registrable Securities will cease to be Registrable Securities upon the earliest to occur of the following events: (i) such Registrable
Securities have been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement; or (ii) such Registrable Securities have been sold by Lavazza pursuant to Rule 144 (or other similar rule); provided, further, that each Registrable Security will
cease to be deemed a Registrable Security for so long as such Registrable Security may be resold by Lavazza pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1)(i). 
 Lock-Up. Without the prior written consent of the Company and any underwriter managing an underwritten offering of the Company’s securities, Lavazza shall not (a) offer, pledge, sell,
contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer, directly or indirectly, any Common Stock or any securities convertible
into or exercisable or exchangeable for such Common Stock or (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Common Stock, whether any such
transaction described in clause (a) or (b) above is to be settled by delivery of such Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise for any lock-up period agreed upon by the underwriters and the Company in an
underwritten offering of the securities of the Company in which Registrable Securities are sold. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 2.11 are in addition to the limitations set forth in Section 8 of the
Purchase Agreement. 
 Miscellaneous 
 Amendment. No amendment, alteration or modification of any of the provisions of this Agreement will be binding unless made in writing and signed by each of the Company and Lavazza. 

Injunctive Relief. It is hereby agreed and acknowledged that it will be impossible to measure in money the damages that would be
suffered if the parties fail to comply with any of the obligations herein imposed on them and that in the event of any such failure, an aggrieved Person will be irreparably damaged and will not have an adequate remedy at law. Any such Person shall,
therefore, be entitled (in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled in law or in equity) to injunctive relief, including, without limitation, specific performance, to enforce such obligations, and if any action should be brought in
equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, none of the parties hereto shall raise the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law. 
 Notices. All notices required or permitted under this Agreement must be in writing and sent to the address or facsimile number identified below. Notices must be given: (a) by personal
delivery, with receipt acknowledged; (b) by facsimile followed by hard copy delivered by the methods under clause (c) or (d); (c) by prepaid certified or registered mail, return receipt requested; or (d) by prepaid
reputable overnight delivery service. Notices will be effective upon 

  
 11 

 
receipt. Either party may change its notice address by providing the other party written notice of such change. Notices shall be delivered as follows:

 Governing Law;
Jurisdiction; Venue; Jury Trial. 
 (tt)    This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the law of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction
other than the State of New York. 
 (uu)    Each of the Company and Lavazza irrevocably and unconditionally
submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, New York and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any
appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the Company and Lavazza irrevocably
and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York state court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. Each of the Company and
Lavazza hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. 

  
 12 

 (vv)    Each of the Company and Lavazza irrevocably and unconditionally
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein in
any court referred to in Section 3.4(b) hereof. Each of the Company and Lavazza hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or
proceeding in any such court. 
 (ww)    EACH OF THE COMPANY AND LAVAZZA HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT
OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH OF THE COMPANY AND LAVAZZA (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO
ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT EACH OF THE COMPANY AND LAVAZZA HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 

Successors, Assigns and Transferees. (a) Any and all rights, duties and obligations hereunder shall not be assigned,
transferred, delegated or sublicensed by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that Lavazza shall be entitled to transfer Registrable Securities to one or more of its Subsidiaries
and, solely in connection therewith, may assign its rights hereunder in respect of such transferred Registrable Securities, in each case, so long as Lavazza is not relieved of any liability or obligations hereunder, without the prior consent of the
Company. Any transfer or assignment made other than as provided in the first sentence of this Section 3.5 shall be null and void. Subject to the foregoing and except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, permitted assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the parties hereto. 
 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, together with any exhibits hereto and thereto, constitute the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter
hereof and all previous agreements or arrangements between the parties, written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof are superseded. 
 Waiver. No failure on the part of either party hereto to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of either party hereto in exercising any
power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver thereof; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power,
right, privilege or remedy. 
 Severability. If any part of this Agreement is declared invalid or unenforceable by
any court of competent jurisdiction, such declaration shall not affect the remainder of the Agreement 

  
 13 

 
and the invalidated provision shall be revised in a manner that will render such provision valid while preserving the parties’ original intent to the maximum extent possible.

 15Form of Indemnification Agreement by and between Directors and GMCR

 Exhibit 10.30 
 INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 
 THIS AGREEMENT is made as of
                    , 2009, by and among [            ], a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”) and [            ] (the “Indemnitee”), a director of the Company. 

RECITALS 

WHEREAS, although the Certificate of Incorporation and the By-laws of the Company provide for indemnification of the officers and
directors of the Company and the Indemnitee may also be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), the DGCL expressly contemplates that contracts may be entered into between the Company and
members of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) with respect to indemnification of directors; and 

WHEREAS, the Indemnitee’s continued service to the Company substantially benefits the Company; and 

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it is in the best interest of the Company and that it is reasonably prudent and necessary for the
Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, the Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in order to induce him to serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern
that he will not be so indemnified or that any indemnification obligation will not be met; and 
 WHEREAS, this Agreement is a
supplement to and in furtherance of (a) the Certificate and Bylaws of the Company, and (b) the certificate and bylaws or partnership agreement, as the case may be, of any Enterprise (as defined below) and any resolutions adopted pursuant
thereto, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of the Indemnitee thereunder; and 
 WHEREAS, the Indemnitee does not regard the protection available under the Company’s or any other Enterprise’s certificate, bylaws and insurance as adequate in the present circumstances, and may
not be willing to serve as a director of the Company without adequate protection, and the Company desires the Indemnitee to serve in such capacity. The Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve and to take on additional service for or on
behalf of the Company and certain other Enterprises on the condition that he be so indemnified; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the promises and the covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows: 

 1.    Services to the Company and Certain Other Enterprises. The
Indemnitee will serve or continue to serve as a director of the Company for so long as the Indemnitee is duly elected or appointed or until the Indemnitee tenders his resignation. 

2.    Definitions. As used in this Agreement: 

“Corporate Status” describes the status of a person who is or was a director, trustee, general partner, managing member,
officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company or of any other Enterprise. 
 “Disinterested Director”
shall mean a director of the Company who is not and was not a party to the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought by the Indemnitee. 
 “Enterprise” shall mean (i) the Company and (ii) any other corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise
which is an affiliate or wholly or partially owned subsidiary of the Company and of which the Indemnitee is or was serving as a director, trustee, general partner, managing member, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary; and (iii) any other
corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company. 

“Expenses” shall include attorneys’ 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, being or preparing to be a witness in, or otherwise participating in, a Proceeding. Expenses shall include such fees and expenses, and costs 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. Expenses, however, shall not include amounts paid in settlement by the Indemnitee or the
amount of judgments or fines against the Indemnitee. 
 “Fines” shall mean any excise tax assessed with respect
to any employee benefit plan; references to “serving at the request of the Company” shall include any service as a director, trustee, general partner, managing member, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company which imposes
duties on, or involves services by, such director, trustee, general partner, managing member, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and
in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Company” as referred to in
this Agreement. 
 “Indemnitee” is defined in the preamble to this Agreement. 

 “Proceeding” shall include any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit, arbitration, mediation, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing or any other actual, threatened or completed proceeding, whether brought in the right of the Company or otherwise and whether of a
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative nature, including without limitation any such proceeding pending as of the date of this Agreement, in which the Indemnitee was, is or will be involved as a party or otherwise by reason of the fact
that the Indemnitee is or was a director of the Company, by reason of any action taken by him or of any action on his part while acting as director of the Company, or by reason of the fact that he is or was serving as a director, trustee, general
partner, managing member, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of any other Enterprise, in each case whether or not serving in such capacity at the time any Expense, judgment, fine or amount paid in settlement is incurred for which indemnification,
reimbursement, or advancement of Expenses can be provided under this Agreement. 
 “Independent Counsel” means,
at any time, any law firm, or a member of a law firm, that (a) is experienced in matters of corporation law and (b) is not, at such time, or has not been in the five years prior to such time, retained to represent: (i) the Company or
the Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party (other than with respect to matters concerning the Indemnitee under this Agreement, or of other indemnities under similar indemnification agreements), or (ii) any other party to the
Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would
have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or the Indemnitee in an action to determine the Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the Independent Counsel
referred to above and to fully indemnify such counsel against any and all Expenses, claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto and to be jointly and severally liable therefor.

 3.    Indemnity in Third-Party Proceedings. The Company shall be liable to indemnify the
Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 if the Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant (as a witness or otherwise) in any Proceeding, other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the
Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 3, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee or on his
behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of a criminal
Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. 
 4.    Indemnity in
Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. The Company shall be liable to indemnify the Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4 if the Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant (as a
witness or otherwise) in any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 4, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his
behalf in connection with such Proceeding (or any claim, issue or matter therein) if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably 

  
 -3-

 
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. No indemnification for Expenses shall be made under this Section 4 in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which
the Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be liable to the Company, unless and only to the extent that any 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, the Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification. 
 5.    Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that the Indemnitee is a
party to (or a participant in) and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, in whole or in part, the Company shall be liable to indemnify the Indemnitee against all Expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith. 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 Company shall be liable to indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. If the Indemnitee is not wholly
successful in such Proceeding, the Company also shall be liable to indemnify the Indemnitee against all Expenses reasonably incurred in connection with any claim, issue or matter that is related to any claim, issue, or matter on which the Indemnitee
was successful. For purposes of this Section and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or
matter. 
 6.    Indemnification For Other Fees and Expenses. 

(a)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that the Indemnitee is, by reason of his
Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding to which the Indemnitee is not a party, the Company shall be liable to indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith.

 (b)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall be liable to indemnify
Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in taking any action to enforce any provision of this Agreement, including all Expenses incurred in bringing a claim, counterclaim or cross claim in a
legal proceeding, arbitration or otherwise to enforce this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement. 

7.    Additional Indemnification 
 (a)    Notwithstanding any limitation in Sections 3, 4, or 5, the Company shall be liable to indemnify the Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law if Indemnitee is a party to
or threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding (including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor) against all Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by Indemnitee in connection with the Proceeding. No indemnity shall be made under this Section 7(a) on account of the 

  
 -4-

 
Indemnitee’s conduct which has been adjudicated to constitute a breach of the Indemnitee’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its shareholders or to constitute an act or omission not in
good faith or involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law. 
 (b)    Notwithstanding
any limitation in Sections 3, 4, 5 or 7(a), the Company shall be liable to indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding (including a Proceeding by or in
the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor) against all Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the Proceeding. 

(c)    For purposes of Sections 7(a) and 7(b), the meaning of the phrase “to the fullest extent permitted by
law” shall include, but not be limited to: 
 (1)    to the fullest extent permitted by the provision
of the DGCL that authorizes or contemplates additional indemnification by agreement, or the corresponding provision of any amendment to or replacement of the DGCL; and 
 (2)    to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by any amendments to or replacements of the DGCL adopted after the date of this Agreement that increase the extent to which a
corporation may indemnify its officers and directors. 
 8.    Exclusions. Notwithstanding any
provision in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnity payment in connection with any claim made against the Indemnitee: 
 (a)    for which payment has actually been received by or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, except with respect to any excess beyond the
amount actually received under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision; or 
 (b)    for an
accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or similar provisions of state statutory law or
common law; provided however, that notwithstanding any limitation on the Company’s obligation to provide indemnification set forth in this Section 8(b) or elsewhere, Indemnitee shall be entitled to receive advancement of Expenses
hereunder with respect to any such Claim unless and until a court having jurisdiction over the Claim shall have made a final judicial determination (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed) that Indemnitee has
violated said statute. 
 9.    Advancement of Expenses; Defense of Claim. 

(a)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall be obligated to advance any
and all Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements requesting such advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of any
Proceeding. Such advances (i) shall be unsecured and interest free; (ii) shall 

  
 -5-

 
be made without regard to the Indemnitee’s ability to repay the advances and without regard to the Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification under the other provisions of
this Agreement; and (iii) shall include any and all reasonable Expenses incurred pursuing an action to enforce this right of advancement, including Expenses incurred preparing and forwarding statements to the Company to support the advances
claimed. The Indemnitee shall qualify for advancement of Expenses solely upon the execution and delivery to the Company of an unsecured, unbonded written undertaking providing that the Indemnitee undertakes to repay the advance to the extent and
only to the extent that it is ultimately determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. 

(b)    The Company will be entitled to participate reasonably in the Proceeding at its own expense. 

10.    Procedure for Notification and Request for Indemnification. 

(a)    To obtain advancement and/or indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall, not later than sixty
(60) days after receipt by the Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding, except for Proceedings pending as of the date of this Agreement, submit to the Company written notification of the Proceeding, together with any written
undertaken required by Section 9(a) above; with regard to Proceedings as of the date of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company written notification not later than sixty (60) days after the date of this Agreement. The
omission to notify the Company will relieve the Company of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement only to the extent the Company can establish that such omission to notify resulted in actual prejudice to it, and the omission to notify
the Company will, in any event, not relieve the Company from any liability which it may have to indemnify the Indemnitee otherwise than under this Agreement. The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of notification from the
Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 10(a), advise the Board in writing that the Indemnitee has provided such notification. 

(b)    In order to obtain indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall, at any time chosen by the
Indemnitee in Indemnitee’s sole discretion, following notification by the Indemnitee of the commencement of any Proceeding pursuant to Section 10(a) of this Agreement and consistent with the time period for the duration of this Agreement
as set forth in Section 15 of this Agreement, submit to the Company a written request for indemnification pursuant to this Section 10(b), including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the
Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. No determination of the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification shall be made until such written request for a
determination is submitted to the Company pursuant to this Section 10(b). The failure to submit a written request to the Company will relieve the Company of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement only to the extent the Company can
establish that such failure to make a written request resulted in actual prejudice to it, and the failure to make a written request will not relieve the Company from any liability which it may have to indemnify the Indemnitee otherwise than under
this Agreement. The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board in writing that the Indemnitee has requested indemnification. Upon submission of a written request for

  
 -6-

 
indemnification by the Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 10(b), the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification shall be determined according to Section 11 of this Agreement.

 11.    Procedure Upon Application for Indemnification. 

(a)    Upon receipt of the Indemnitee’s written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 10(b), a
determination with respect thereto shall be made in the specific case: (i) by the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum, so long as the Indemnitee does not request that such determination be made by Independent Counsel; or
(ii) if so requested by the Indemnitee, in his sole discretion, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Indemnitee; and if it is so determined that the Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification, payment to the Indemnitee shall be made within ten (10) days after such determination. The Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to the 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 the Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the Indemnitee in so cooperating with the Disinterested Directors or Independent Counsel, as the
case may be, making such determination shall be advanced and borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company is liable to indemnify and hold the Indemnitee harmless
therefrom. 
 (b)    In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by
Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 11(a) hereof, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 11(b). The Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Indemnitee (unless the Indemnitee shall request that such
selection by made by the Board, in which event the Board shall make such selection on behalf of the Company, subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 11(b)), and the Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, shall give written
notice to the other, advising it or him of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. The Company or the Indemnitee, as the case may be, may, within 10 days after such written notice of selection shall have been received, deliver to the
Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of
“Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as
Independent Counsel. If a written objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court of competent jurisdiction has determined that
such objection is without merit. If, within 20 days after submission by the Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 10(b) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the
Company or the Indemnitee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Company or the Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as
Independent Counsel of a person selected by the Court or by such other person as the Court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel

  
 -7-

 
under Section 11(a) hereof. Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 13(a) of this Agreement, Independent Counsel shall be discharged and
relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing). 
 12.    Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings. 

(a)    In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or
entity making such determination shall presume that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if the Indemnitee has submitted a notice and a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 10 of this Agreement,
and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by any person, persons or entity of any determination contrary to that presumption. Neither the failure of the Company (including by the Board)
or of Independent Counsel to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable
standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company (including by the Board) or by Independent Counsel that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be admissible in evidence against the Indemnitee or
otherwise referred to in any such judicial proceeding or arbitration for any purpose (including without limitation to rebut the presumption in favor of indemnification) or create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard
of conduct. 
 (b)    If the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 11 of this
Agreement to determine whether the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a determination within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the Indemnitee’s written request for indemnification pursuant to
Section 10(b) of this Agreement, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and the Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification, 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; provided, however, that such 60-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days, if the Independent Counsel 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. 

(c)    The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or
conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of the Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that the
Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his
conduct was unlawful. 
 (d)    Reliance as Safe Harbor. For purposes of any determination of good
faith, the Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if the Indemnitee’s action or failure 

  
 -8-

 
to act is based on the records or books of account of the Enterprise, including financial statements, or on information supplied to the Indemnitee by the officers of the Enterprise in the course
of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected by the Enterprise.
The provisions of this Section 12(d) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which the Indemnitee may be deemed or found to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement.

 (e)    Actions of Others. The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any other director,
partner, managing member, officer, agent, employee or trustee of the Enterprise shall not be imputed to the Indemnitee for purposes of determining his right to indemnification under this Agreement. 

13.    Remedies of the Indemnitee. 
 (a)    In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement,
(ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement, (iii) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Section 5, 6, 7 or the last sentence of Section 11(a) of this Agreement within
ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, or (iv) payment of indemnification pursuant to Section 3 or 4 of this Agreement is not made within ten (10) days after a determination has been made that
the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, or (v) the Indemnitee determines in its sole discretion that such action is appropriate or desirable, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to seek an adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction
as to his entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses. Alternatively, the Indemnitee, at his option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the
American Arbitration Association. The Company shall not oppose the Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration. 
 (b)    In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial
proceeding or arbitration, commenced pursuant to this Section 13, shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits, and the Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination. In any
judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13, the Company shall have the burden of proving the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the case may be, and the Company may not
refer to or introduce into evidence any determination pursuant to Section 11(a) adverse to the Indemnitee for purposes of satisfying the Company’s burden of proof or for any other purpose. In any judicial proceeding or arbitration
commenced pursuant to this Section 13, in the event that the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 11 of this Agreement to determine whether the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification has not made such a
determination within the time period provided for under Section 12(b) of this Agreement, the Company shall stipulate and may not contest that the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best 

  
 -9-

 
interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. 

(c)    If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement that the Indemnitee
is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13, 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)    In the event that the Indemnitee is a party to a judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to this
Section 13 concerning his rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the Company, and shall be indemnified by the Company against, any and all Expenses actually and
reasonably incurred by him in such judicial adjudication or arbitration. If it shall be determined in said judicial adjudication or arbitration that the Indemnitee is entitled to receive part but not all of the indemnification or advancement of
Expenses sought, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the Company (who shall be liable therefor), and shall be indemnified by the Company against, any and all Expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such
judicial adjudication or arbitration. 
 (e)    The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any
judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the
Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement. The Company shall be liable to indemnify the Indemnitee against any and all Expenses and, if requested by the Indemnitee, shall (within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a
written request therefore) advance such Expenses to the Indemnitee that are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any judicial adjudication or arbitration involving the Indemnitee for indemnification or advancement of Expenses from the Company
under this Agreement or under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, regardless of whether the Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advancement of
Expenses or insurance recovery, as the case may be. 
 14.    Non-exclusivity; Survival of Rights;
Insurance. 
 (a)    The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of 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 Company’s or any other Enterprise’s Articles of Incorporation, the Company’s or any other
Enterprise’s Bylaws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or a resolution of directors, or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of the Indemnitee under
this Agreement in respect to any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in Delaware law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater
indemnification or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the 

  
 -10-

 
Company’s or any other Enterprise’s Bylaws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that the Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded
by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy. 

(b)    To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for
directors, partners, managing members, officers, employees, agents or trustees of the Company or of any other Enterprise, 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 for any such director, partner, managing member, officer, employee, agent or trustee under such policy or policies. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to Section 10(a) hereof, the Company has
director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take
all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies. 

(c)    The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable
(or for which advancement is provided hereunder) hereunder if and only to the extent that the Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise. 

(d)    The Company’s obligation hereunder to indemnify, or advance Expenses to, the Indemnitee who was, is or
will be serving as a director, partner, managing member, officer, employee, agent or trustee of any other Enterprise shall be reduced by any amount the Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification or advancement of Expenses from such other
Enterprise. 
 15.    Duration of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue until and terminate upon
the later of: (a) 10 years after the date that the Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director of the Company or as a director, partner, managing member, officer, employee, agent or trustee of any other Enterprise; or (b) 1 year
after the final termination (i) of any Proceeding (including any rights of appeal) then pending in respect of which the Indemnitee requests indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder and (ii) of any judicial proceeding or
arbitration pursuant to Section 13 of this Agreement (including any rights of appeal) involving the Indemnitee. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee and
his heirs, executors and administrators. 
 16.    Severability. If any provision or provisions of
this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any
Section 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 

  
 -11-

 
affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; (b) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform
to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (c) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any section 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 thereby. 

17.    Enforcement. 
 (a)    The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce the Indemnitee to continue
to serve as a director of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that the Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as a director of the Company. 
 (b)    This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral,
written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. 

18.    Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding
unless executed in writing by the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a wavier of any other provisions of this Agreement nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

 19.    Notice by the Indemnitee. The Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the Company 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. The failure of
the Indemnitee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to the Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise. 
 20.    Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (a) if
delivered by hand and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been directed, or (b) mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date on which it is so

21.    Contribution. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided
for in this Agreement is unavailable to the Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying the Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by the Indemnitee, whether for judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes,
amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection with any claim relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and the
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, officer, employees and agents) and the Indemnitee in connection with such event(s)
and/or transaction(s). 
 22.    Applicable Law and Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and the
legal relations among the parties shall 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. Except with respect to any arbitration commenced by the
Indemnitee pursuant to Section 13(a) of this Agreement, the Company and the Indemnitee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agree that any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought only
in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (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, to the extent such party is not a resident of the State of Delaware, irrevocably [RL&F Service Corp., One
Rodney Square, 10th Floor, 10th and King Streets, Wilmington, Delaware 19801] as its agent in the State of Delaware as such party’s agent for acceptance of legal process in connection with any such action or proceeding against such party with
the same legal force and validity as if served upon such party personally within the State of Delaware, (iv) waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in the Delaware Court, and (v) waive, and agree not to
plead or to make, any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in the Delaware Court has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum. 
 23.    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 such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforceability is sought needs to be produced to evidence the existence of this Agreement. 

24.    Miscellaneous. Use of the masculine pronoun shall been deemed to include usage of the feminine pronoun
where appropriate. 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.
