in its favor by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status. Pursuant to this Section 4, Indemnitee shall be
indemnified, held harmless and exonerated against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s
behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner
Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. No indemnification, hold harmless
or exoneration for Expenses shall be made under this Section 4 in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which
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 or the Delaware Court shall determine upon application that, despite
the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled
to indemnification, to be held harmless or to exoneration.

 

5. INDEMNIFICATION FOR EXPENSES OF A PARTY WHO IS WHOLLY
OR PARTLY SUCCESSFUL. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement except for Section 26, to the extent
that Indemnitee was or is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a party to (or a participant in) and is successful,
on the merits or otherwise, in defending any Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, in whole or in part,
the defending Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee
against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful
in defense of such Proceeding (or part thereof) but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of one or more but less
than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify,
hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s
behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in defense
of such Proceeding (or part thereof), the Company also shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold
harmless and exonerate Indemnitee against all Expenses reasonably incurred in connection with a claim, issue or matter related
to any claim, issue, or matter on which 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 the defense of such claim, issue or matter.

 

6. INDEMNIFICATION FOR EXPENSES OF A WITNESS. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement except for Section 26, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s
Corporate Status, a witness or deponent in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee was not or is not a party or threatened to be made
a party, Indemnitee shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be indemnified, held harmless and exonerated
against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith.

 

7. ADDITIONAL INDEMNIFICATION, HOLD HARMLESS AND EXONERATION
RIGHTS. Notwithstanding any limitation in Sections 3, 4, or 5, except for Section 26, the
Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee if Indemnitee
is a party to or threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding against all Expenses and judgments, fines, penalties and amounts
paid in settlement in any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor (including all interest,
assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and
amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the Proceeding.

 

    4

     

    

 

8. CONTRIBUTION IN THE EVENT OF JOINT LIABILITY.

 

(a) To the fullest extent permissible under
applicable law, if the indemnification, hold harmless and/or exoneration rights provided for in this Agreement are unavailable
to Indemnitee in whole or in part for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying, holding harmless or exonerating
Indemnitee, shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for judgments, liabilities, fines,
penalties, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection with any Proceeding without requiring Indemnitee
to contribute to such payment, and the Company hereby waives and relinquishes any right of contribution it may have at any time
against Indemnitee.

 

(b) The Company shall not enter into any
settlement of any Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding)
unless such settlement provides for a full and final release of all claims asserted against Indemnitee.

 

(c) The Company hereby agrees to fully indemnify,
hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee from any claims for contribution which may be brought by officers, directors or employees
of the Company other than Indemnitee who may be jointly liable with Indemnitee.

 

9. EXCLUSIONS. Notwithstanding any provision in
this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnification, advance expenses, hold harmless
or exoneration payment in connection with any claim made against Indemnitee:

 

(a) for which payment has actually been
received by or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity or advancement provision, except with respect
to any excess beyond the amount actually received under any insurance policy, contract, agreement, other indemnity or advancement
provision or otherwise;

 

(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 Exchange Act (or any successor rule) or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law; or

 

(c) except as otherwise provided in Sections
14(f)-(g) hereof, prior to a Change in Control, in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated
by Indemnitee, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors,
officers, employees or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Board authorized the Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) prior
to its initiation or (ii) the Company provides the indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration payment, in its sole discretion,
pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law. Indemnitee shall seek payments or Advances from the Company
only to the extent that such payments or Advances are unavailable from any insurance policy of the Company covering Indemnitee.

 

10. ADVANCES OF EXPENSES; DEFENSE OF CLAIM.

 

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, except for Section 26, and to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law, the Company
shall pay the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding within ten (10) days after the receipt by
the Company of a statement or statements requesting such advances from time to time, prior to the final disposition of any Proceeding.
Advances shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be unsecured and interest free. Advances shall, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, be made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the Expenses and without regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate
entitlement to be indemnified, held harmless or exonerated under the other provisions of this Agreement. Advances shall include
any and all reasonable Expenses incurred pursuing an Enforcement Proceeding (assuming for this purpose all references to a “Proceeding”
in the definition of Expenses were deemed related to an Enforcement Proceeding), including Expenses incurred preparing and forwarding
statements to the Company to support the advances claimed. This Agreement shall constitute Indemnitee’s undertaking to repay
the advanced amounts to the extent that it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, held harmless
or exonerated by the Company under the provisions of this Agreement, the Charter, the Bylaws of the Company, applicable law
or otherwise, but only if such an undertaking is required by applicable law. This Section 10(a) shall not apply
to any Proceeding for which indemnity is not permitted under Section 9 of this Agreement, but shall apply to any Proceeding
referenced in Section 9(b) prior to a final determination that Indemnitee is liable therefor.

 

    5

     

    

 

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

 

(c) The Company shall not settle any action,
claim or Proceeding (in whole or in part) which would impose any Expense, judgment, fine, penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without
Indemnitee’s prior written consent.

 

11. PROCEDURE FOR NOTIFICATION AND APPLICATION FOR INDEMNIFICATION.

 

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

 

(b) Indemnitee may deliver to the Company
a written application to indemnify, hold harmless or exonerate Indemnitee in accordance with this Agreement. Such application(s) may
be delivered from time to time and at such time(s) as Indemnitee deems appropriate in his sole discretion. Following such
a written application for indemnification by Indemnitee, Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification shall be determined
according to Section 12(a) of this Agreement.

 

12. PROCEDURE UPON APPLICATION FOR INDEMNIFICATION.

 

(a) A determination, if required by applicable
law, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification shall be made in the specific case by one of the following
methods: (i) if no Change in Control has occurred (x) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though
less than a quorum of the Board, (y) by a committee of Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board,
or (z) if there are no Disinterested Directors, or if such directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion
to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee, or (ii) if a Change in Control has occurred, by Independent
Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Indemnitee. The Company promptly will advise
Indemnitee in writing with respect to any determination that Indemnitee is or is not entitled to indemnification, including a description
of any reason or basis for which indemnification has been denied. If it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification,
payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ten (10) days after such determination. Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate
with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification,
including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is
not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary
to such determination. Any costs or Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee
in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the
determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby agrees to indemnify and to hold Indemnitee
harmless therefrom.

 

(b) In the event the determination of entitlement
to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 12(a) hereof, the Independent Counsel
shall be selected as provided in this Section 12(b). The Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee (unless
Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board), and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising
it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected and certifying that the Independent Counsel so selected meets the requirements
of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement. If the Independent Counsel is selected
by the Board, the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising Indemnitee of the identity of the Independent Counsel
so selected and certifying that the Independent Counsel so selected meets the requirements of “Independent Counsel”
as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement. In either event, Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, may,
within ten (10) days after such written notice of selection shall have been received, deliver to the Company or to Indemnitee,
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 such 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 twenty (20) days after submission by
Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 11(b) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall
have been selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the Delaware Court for resolution of any
objection which shall have been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or
for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the Delaware Court, and the person with respect to whom all
objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 12(a) hereof.
Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 14(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).

 

    6

     

    

 

(c) The Company agrees to pay the reasonable
fees and expenses of Independent Counsel and to fully indemnify and hold harmless such Independent Counsel against any and all
Expenses, claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto.

 

13. PRESUMPTIONS AND EFFECT OF CERTAIN PROCEEDINGS.

 

(a) In making a determination with respect
to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person, persons or entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee
is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with
Section 11(b) 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 Disinterested Directors or Independent Counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement
of any action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable
standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company (including by the Disinterested Directors or Independent Counsel)
that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that
Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

 

(b) If the person, persons or entity empowered
or selected under Section 12 of this Agreement to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall
not have made a determination within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor, the requisite determination
of entitlement to indemnification shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall
be entitled to such indemnification, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material
fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification,
or (ii) a final judicial determination that any or all such indemnification is expressly prohibited under applicable law;
provided, however, that such 30-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional fifteen (15) days,
if the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires
such additional time for the obtaining or evaluating of documentation and/or information relating thereto.

 

(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 Indemnitee to indemnification
or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable
cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

 

(d) For purposes of any determination of
good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or
books of account of the Enterprise, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the directors,
manager, or officers of the Enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise, its
Board, any committee of the Board or any director, trustee, general partner, manager or managing member, or on information or records
given or reports made to the Enterprise, its Board, any committee of the Board or any director, trustee, general partner, manager
or managing member, by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected by the Enterprise,
its Board, any committee of the Board or any director, trustee, general partner, manager or managing member. The provisions of
this Section 13(d) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which
Indemnitee may be deemed or found to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement.

 

    7

     

    

 

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

 

14. REMEDIES OF INDEMNITEE.

 

(a) In the event that (i) a determination
is made pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement,
(ii) advancement of Expenses, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, is not timely made pursuant to Section 10
of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 12(a) of
this Agreement within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification
is not made pursuant to Sections 5, 6, 7 or the last sentence of Section 12(a) of this
Agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, (v) a contribution payment
is not made in a timely manner pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement, (vi) payment of indemnification pursuant to Sections 3
or 4 of this Agreement is not made within ten (10) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled
to indemnification, or (vii) payment to Indemnitee pursuant to any hold harmless or exoneration rights under this Agreement
or otherwise is not made in accordance with this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication by the Delaware
Court to such indemnification, hold harmless, exoneration, contribution or advancement rights. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at Indemnitee’s
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. Except as set forth herein, the provisions of Delaware law (without regard to its conflict
of laws rules) shall apply to any such arbitration. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such
adjudication or award in arbitration. Such adjudication or arbitration proceeding is referred to herein as “Enforcement Proceeding.”

 

(b) In the event that a determination shall
have been made pursuant to Section 12(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification,
any Enforcement Proceeding shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits and Indemnitee
shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination.

 

(c) In any Enforcement Proceeding, Indemnitee
shall be presumed to be entitled to be indemnified, held harmless, exonerated and to receive advancement of Expenses under this
Agreement and the Company shall have the burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, held harmless, exonerated
and to receive advancement of Expenses, as the case may be, and the Company may not refer to or introduce into evidence any determination
pursuant to Section 12(a) of this Agreement adverse to Indemnitee for any purpose. If Indemnitee commences an
Enforcement Proceeding, Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any advances pursuant to Section 10
until a final determination is made with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification (as to which all rights of
appeal have been exhausted or lapsed).

 

(d) If a determination shall have been made
pursuant to Section 12(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall
be bound by such determination in Enforcement Proceeding, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an
omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request
for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.

 

(e) The Company shall be precluded from
asserting in Enforcement Proceeding 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.

 

    8

     

    

 

(f) The Company shall indemnify and hold
harmless Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law against all Expenses (assuming for purposes of this sentence that all
references to a Proceeding in the definition of Expenses were references to an Enforcement Proceeding) and, if requested by Indemnitee,
shall (within ten (10) days after the Company’s receipt of such written request) pay to Indemnitee, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, such Expenses which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Enforcement Proceeding brought
by Indemnitee: (i) to enforce his rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement or any other indemnification,
hold harmless, exoneration, advancement or contribution agreement or provision of the Charter, or the Bylaws now or hereafter in
effect; or (ii) for recovery or advances under any insurance policy maintained by any person for the benefit of Indemnitee,
regardless of the outcome and whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, hold harmless
or exoneration right, advancement, contribution or insurance recovery, as the case may be (unless such Enforcement Proceeding was
not brought by Indemnitee in good faith).

 

(g) Interest shall be paid by the Company
to Indemnitee at the legal rate under Delaware law for amounts which the Company indemnifies, holds harmless or exonerates, or
advances, or is obliged to indemnify, hold harmless or exonerate or advance for the period commencing with the date on which Indemnitee
requests indemnification, to be held harmless, exonerated, contribution, reimbursement or advancement of any Expenses and ending
with the date on which such payment is made to Indemnitee by or on behalf of the Company.

 

15. SECURITY. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, except for Section 26, to the extent requested by Indemnitee and approved by the Board, the Company may
at any time and from time to time provide security to Indemnitee for the Company’s obligations hereunder through an irrevocable
bank line of credit, funded trust or other collateral. Any such security, once provided to Indemnitee, may not be revoked or released
without the prior written consent of Indemnitee.

 

16. NON-EXCLUSIVITY; SURVIVAL OF RIGHTS; INSURANCE;
SUBROGATION.

 

(a) The rights of Indemnitee as provided
by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable
law, the Charter, the 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 Indemnitee under this Agreement in
respect of any Proceeding (regardless of when such Proceeding is first threatened, commenced or completed) or claim, issue or matter
therein arising out of, or related to, any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in Indemnitee’s Corporate Status prior
to such amendment, alteration or repeals, except as may otherwise be expressly set forth in such amendment, alteration or repeals
and mutually agreed by Indemnitee and the Company. To the extent that a change in applicable law, whether by statute or judicial
decision, permits greater indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration rights or advancement of expenses than would be afforded
currently under the Charter, the Bylaws or this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by
this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive
of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy
given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.

 

(b) The Delaware General Corporation Law
(the “DGCL”), the Charter and the Bylaws permit the Company to purchase and maintain insurance or furnish similar
protection or make other arrangements including, but not limited to, providing a trust fund, letter of credit, or surety bond (“Indemnification
Arrangements”) on behalf of Indemnitee against any liability asserted against Indemnitee or incurred by or on behalf
of Indemnitee or in such capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or arising out of Indemnitee’s
status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify Indemnitee against such liability under the provisions
of this Agreement or under the DGCL, as it may then be in effect. The purchase, establishment, and maintenance of any such Indemnification
Arrangement shall not in any way limit or affect the rights and obligations of the Company or of Indemnitee under this Agreement
except as expressly provided herein, and the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and Indemnitee shall not in
any way limit or affect the rights and obligations of the Company or the other party or parties thereto under any such Indemnification
Arrangement.

 

    9

     

    

 

(c) To the extent that any member of the
Company Group maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, officers, trustees, partners,
managers, managing members, fiduciaries, employees, or agents of the Company Group or of any other Enterprise which such person
serves at the request of the Company, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their
terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any such director, officer, trustee, partner, managers, managing member,
fiduciary, employee or agent under such policy or policies. If, at the time the Company receives notice from any source of a Proceeding
as to which Indemnitee is a party or a participant (as a witness, deponent or otherwise), the Company has director and officer
liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of such Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures
set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take or cause to be taken all necessary or desirable action
to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the
terms of such policies.

 

(d) In the event of any payment under this
Agreement, the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the
rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including
execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.

 

(e) The Company’s obligation to indemnify,
hold harmless, exonerate or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director,
officer, trustee, partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other Enterprise shall be reduced by any
amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration payments or advancement of expenses from
such Enterprise. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary except for Section 26,
(i) Indemnitee shall have no obligation to reduce, offset, allocate, pursue or apportion any indemnification, hold harmless,
exoneration, advancement, contribution or insurance coverage among multiple parties possessing such duties to Indemnitee prior
to the Company’s satisfaction and performance of all its obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) the Company shall
perform fully its obligations under this Agreement without regard to whether Indemnitee holds, may pursue or has pursued any indemnification,
advancement, hold harmless, exoneration, contribution or insurance coverage rights against any person or entity other than the
Company.

 

(f) To the extent Indemnitee has rights
to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by the Sponsor or its affiliates as applicable, (i) the
Company shall be the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., that its obligations to Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the
Sponsor or its affiliates, as applicable, to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities
incurred by Indemnitee are secondary), (ii) the Company shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred
by Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount of all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including
amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromises and settlements, as fines and penalties and legal or other costs and
reasonable expenses of investigating or defending against any claim or alleged claim) to the extent legally permitted and as required
by the terms of this Agreement, the Company’s organizational documents or other agreement, without regard to any rights Indemnitee
may have against the Sponsor or its affiliates, as applicable, and (iii) the Company irrevocably waives, relinquishes and
releases the Sponsor and its affiliates, as applicable, from any and all claims against them for contribution, subrogation or any
other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. No advancement or payment by the Sponsor or its affiliates, as applicable, on behalf
of Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing,
and the Sponsor and its affiliates, as applicable, shall have a right of contribution and be subrogated to the extent of such advancement
or payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee against the Company.

 

17. DURATION OF AGREEMENT. All agreements and obligations
of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period Indemnitee serves as a director or officer of the Company or as
a director, officer, trustee, partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other Enterprise which Indemnitee serves at the request of the Company and shall
continue thereafter so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any possible Proceeding or Enforcement Proceeding (including any
rights of appeal thereto) by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, whether or not Indemnitee is acting in any such capacity
at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification or advancement can be provided under this Agreement.

 

    10

     

    

 

18. 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, paragraph
or sentence of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid,
illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and 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, paragraph or sentence 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.

 

19. ENFORCEMENT AND BINDING EFFECT.

 

(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 Indemnitee to serve
as a director, officer or key employee of the Company Group, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this
Agreement in serving as a director, officer or key employee of the Company Group.

 

(b) Without limiting any of the rights of
Indemnitee under the Charter or Bylaws of the Company as they may be amended from time to time, this Agreement constitutes the
entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings,
oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

 

(c) The indemnification, hold harmless,
exoneration and advancement of expenses rights provided by or granted pursuant to this Agreement shall be binding upon and be enforceable
by the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase,
merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, but subject to such
successor’s compliance with Section 19(d)), shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Company or a director, officer, trustee, general partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary,
employee or agent of any other Enterprise at the Company’s request, and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s
spouse, permitted assigns, heirs, devisees, executors and administrators and other legal representatives.

 

(d) The Company shall require and cause
any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially all or a substantial
part, of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly
to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required
to perform if no such succession had taken place.

 

(e) The Company and Indemnitee agree herein
that a monetary remedy for breach of this Agreement, at some later date, may be inadequate, impracticable and difficult of proof,
and further agree that such breach may cause Indemnitee irreparable harm. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree that Indemnitee
may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, enforce this Agreement by seeking, among other things, injunctive relief and/or specific
performance hereof, without any necessity of showing actual damage or irreparable harm and that by seeking injunctive relief and/or
specific performance, Indemnitee shall not be precluded from seeking or obtaining any other relief to which Indemnitee may
be entitled. The Company and Indemnitee further agree that Indemnitee shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be entitled
to such specific performance and injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent
injunctions, without the necessity of posting bonds or other security in connection therewith. The Company acknowledges that in
the absence of a waiver, a bond or other security may be required of Indemnitee by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Company
hereby waives any such requirement of such a bond or other security to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(in whole or in part) to a jury trial. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the parties hereby agree that the mailing of process
and other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided by Section 21 or in such other

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

needs to be produced to evidence the existence of this Agreement.

of the provisions in this Agreement any act, resolution, approval or other procedure is required to the fullest extent permitted
by law, the Company undertakes to cause such act, resolution, approval or other procedure to be affected or adopted in a manner
that will enable the Company to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.

 

26. WAIVER OF CLAIMS TO TRUST ACCOUNT. Indemnitee
hereby agrees that it does not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind (each, a “Claim”) in or
to any monies in the trust account established in connection with the Company’s initial public offering for the benefit of
the Company and holders of shares issued in such offering, and hereby waives any Claim it may have in the future as a result of,
or arising out of, any services provided to the Company and will not seek recourse against such trust account for any reason whatsoever.

 

27. MAINTENANCE OF INSURANCE. The Company shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain in effect during the entire period for which the Company is obligated
to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement, one or more policies of insurance with reputable insurance companies to provide
the officers/directors of the Company with coverage for losses from wrongful acts and omissions and to ensure the Company’s
performance of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement. 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 or officer under such
policy or policies. In all such insurance policies, the Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a manner as to provide
the Indemnitee with the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably insured of the Company’s directors
and officers.
