China BAK Battery, Inc. Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors

 Exhibit 10.2 
 CHINA BAK BATTERY, INC. 
 COMPENSATION PLAN FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS 
  

	1.	Purpose. 

 The China BAK Battery, Inc. Compensation
Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the “Plan”) has been established by China BAK Battery, Inc. (the “Company”) for non-employee members of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) for the purposes of
(i) attracting, retaining and incentivizing highly qualified individuals to serve in such capacity; and (ii) aligning the interests of the Company’s non-employee directors with its stockholders by providing an additional means for
such individuals to increase their ownership of the Company’s common stock, par value, $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). 
 This Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and any regulatory or other guidance issued under such section. At the Effective Date (as defined in
Section 17 below) of the Plan, additional guidance had yet to be promulgated by the Department of Treasury. Any terms of the Plan that conflict with such guidance shall be null and void as of the Effective Date. After such additional
guidance is issued, the intent is to amend the Plan to delete any conflicting provisions and to add such other provisions as are required to fully comply with Section 409A and any other legislative or regulatory requirements applicable to the
Plan. The Plan is also intended to comply with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to time, or any successor provision thereto (“Rule 16b-3”), and shall be construed to so comply. With
respect to any restriction in the Plan that is based on the requirements of Rule 16b-3 or the rules of any exchange upon which the Company’s securities are listed or automated quotation system upon which the Company’s securities are
quoted, or any other applicable law, rule or restriction, to the extent that any such restriction is no longer required, the Board shall have the sole discretion and authority to remove such restrictions from the Plan and/or to waive them.

  

	2.	Eligibility. 

 Only members of the Board who do not
serve as officers or employees of the Company, any parent of the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries (“Eligible Directors”) will be eligible to participate in the Plan. 
  

	3.	Non-Employee Director Compensation. 

 (a) Annual
Retainer Fees. Eligible Directors will be entitled to receive an annual retainer fee (the “Annual Retainer”) for their membership on the Board. The amount of such fee will be established from time to time by the Board. In
addition, Eligible Directors will receive 5,000 shares of Common Stock with twenty-five percent (25%) of such shares vesting immediately upon election to participate in the Plan and the remaining shares to vest in increments of twenty-five
(25%) percent each subsequent full quarter (March 31, June 30, September 30, December 31). 

 (b) Valuation of Shares. The fair market value of a share of Common Stock on a given date shall be
the 4:00 p.m., New York City time, closing price of a share of Common Stock on such national securities exchange as may be designated by the Board, or, in the event that the Common Stock is not listed for trading on a national securities exchange,
but is quoted on an automated quotation system, the average closing bid per share of the Common Stock on such automated quotation system or, in the event that the Common Stock is not quoted on any such system, the average of the closing bid prices
per share of the Common Stock as furnished by a professional market maker making a market in the Common Stock designated by the Board. 
  

	4.	Deferral Election. 

 Any Eligible Director may elect
to defer the time of payment of all or any portion of any compensation that the Eligible Director may become entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3 other than any amount that the Eligible Director may receive in shares of Common
Stock. In no event, however, may an Eligible Director elect to defer any compensation that he or she has already received or would otherwise have an unrestricted right to receive currently. Any deferral election shall be made at such time and
in such manner as may be specified by the Board. An Eligible Director’s deferral election shall specify the time and manner of payment of all deferred amounts which election shall be subject to the requirements of Section 7.
Compensation for services performed during a taxable year may be deferred at the Eligible Director’s election only if the election to defer such compensation is made not later than the close of the preceding taxable year or at such other time
as may be permitted in rules or other guidance adopted by the Internal Revenue Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of the first year in which an Eligible Director becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, such election may be
made with respect to services performed subsequent to the election within 30 days after the date the Eligible Director becomes eligible to participate in the Plan. For purposes of this Section 4, the term “Plan” refers to the
compensation deferral feature contained in Sections 4 through 11 of this Plan. 
  

	5.	Establishment of Deferred Account. 

 The Board shall
establish a deferred account (the “Deferred Account”) for each Eligible Director to which shall be credited the amount of all compensation deferred under this Plan from time to time by the Eligible Director. An Eligible
Director’s compensation deferral election shall specify the amount or percentage of compensation to be credited to the Eligible Director’s Deferred Account. An Eligible Director may only change his or her Deferred Account election
with respect to future deferred amounts at such time as permitted by the Board. 
  

	6.	Adjustment of Deferred Account. 

 The balance of
each Eligible Director’s Deferred Account shall be maintained by the Company as a bookkeeping entry based on dollar units and shall be adjusted by the Company from time to time to reflect amounts deferred and payments made since the date of the
last adjustment. In addition, the balance of each Eligible Director’s Deferred Account shall be credited by the Company with interest from time to time at the then prevailing prime rate of interest as published in the Wall Street Journal
or such other similar and reasonable rate of interest as the Board may determine. 

	7.	Payment of Deferred Account. 

 An Eligible
Director’s Deferred Account shall be paid to the Eligible Director in such manner and at such time as the Eligible Director may elect in accordance with Section 4. In no event, shall any amount of compensation deferred under the Plan be
distributed earlier than: (a) the Eligible Director’s separation from service with the Company; (b) the date of the Eligible Director’s Disability (as defined in Section 17 below); (c) the date of the Eligible
Director’s death; (d) a specified time (or pursuant to a fixed schedule) specified under the Plan at the date of the deferral of such compensation; or (e) a Change in Control pursuant to Section 8 below. If an Eligible
Director does not elect a time of payment, then it shall be presumed that the Eligible Director elected that his or her payment shall be made as of the earliest to occur of the Eligible Director’s separation from service with the Company,
Disability or death. If an Eligible Director does not elect the manner of payment, it shall be presumed that the Eligible Director elected that his or her payment shall be made as a single payment. For purposes of all payments, the balance
in an Eligible Director’s Deferred Account shall be adjusted by the Company pursuant to Section 6 immediately prior to any payment date.
  

	8.	Distribution in the Event of a Change in Control. 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or of any election made by an Eligible Director with respect to the period of any deferral or the form and timing of any payment from his Deferred Account, the unpaid balance thereof shall be
paid to the Eligible Director within 60 days after the date of a Change in Control of the Company. For purposes hereof, a “Change in Control” means, a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company, or in the ownership of a
substantial portion of the assets of the Company, as defined in the regulations issued by the Treasury Department and other guidance issued by the Treasury Department or Internal Revenue Service under Section 409A of the Code. 
  

	9.	Rights of Eligible Director or Other Distributee. 

 Nothing contained herein, and no action taken pursuant to the provisions hereof shall create, or be deemed to create a trust of any kind, or to establish any fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Eligible Director or other
payee. The Deferred Account established hereunder shall be for recordkeeping purposes only. Amounts that have been deferred will be recorded as a liability in the Company’s books at the time of the deferral of the payment, but no
funds shall be set aside for payment of the liability. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under the provisions hereof, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general
creditor of the Company. All payments made pursuant to this Plan shall be made from the general assets of the Company, provided, however, that nothing set forth herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from establishing a trust for its
own benefit to hold any assets to satisfy its liabilities pursuant to the Plan. If the Company establishes such a trust, no Eligible Director shall have any interest in the assets of such trust.

	10.	Designation of Beneficiary. 

 An Eligible Director
may designate a person, trust or organization to receive the unpaid balance of the Eligible Director’s Deferred Account in the event of the Eligible Director’s death by executing and delivering to the Board a beneficiary designation on a
form reasonably acceptable to the Board. An Eligible Director may change and successively change any such designation by executing a new beneficiary designation form. Unless the beneficiary designation form indicates otherwise, any designation of
beneficiary shall be deemed to apply to the unpaid balance of all of the Eligible Director’s Deferred Account. If there is no valid beneficiary designation on file with the Board on the date of the Eligible Director’s death, the unpaid
balance of the Eligible Director’s Deferred Account shall be paid to the duly appointed personal representative of the Eligible Director’s estate. 
  

	11.	Nonassignability of Benefits. 

 Neither the Eligible
Director nor any other person shall have any power or right to assign, anticipate, hypothecate or otherwise encumber any amount credited to the Eligible Director’s Deferred Account nor shall any such amounts be transferable by operation of law
in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Eligible Director or other person. 
  

	12.	Shares of Common Stock Subject to the Plan. 

 The
total number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan is 500,000 (the “Share Limit”), subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 14 below. The shares of Common Stock will be made available from authorized but
unissued Common Stock or from Common Stock issued and held in the treasury of the Company. For purposes of determining the number of shares of Common Stock that are at any time available for issuance under the Plan, the number of shares of Common
Stock that are issued will be counted against the Share Limit at the time of issuance of the shares, as applicable. 
  

	13.	Dividend Equivalents. 

 Shares of Common Stock,
shall be credited with an amount equivalent to the dividends which would have been paid on an equal number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (“Dividend Equivalents”). Dividend Equivalents shall be credited (i) as of the
payment date of such dividends, and (ii) only with respect to shares which were otherwise deliverable, or into which Dividend Equivalents were converted pursuant to the second paragraph of this Section 13, prior to the record date of the
dividend. Shares held pending distribution shall continue to be credited with Dividend Equivalents. 
 Dividend Equivalents so credited
shall be converted into an additional number of shares as of the payment date of the dividend (based on the 4:00 p.m., New York City time, closing price of a share of Common Stock on such payment date). Such shares shall thereafter be treated
in the same manner as any other shares under the Plan. Dividend Equivalents with respect to shares of Common Stock that result in fractional shares shall be held for the credit of the director until the next dividend payment date and shall be
converted into shares on such date. Any Dividend Equivalents not converted into shares shall be paid in cash upon the final distribution of the Eligible Director’s shares. 

	14.	Adjustments Upon Certain Corporate Changes. 

 In the
event of any subdivision or consolidation of outstanding shares of Common Stock, declaration of a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, stock split, recapitalization or capital reorganization, consolidation or merger of the Company with
another corporation or entity, adoption by the Company of any plan of exchange affecting Common Stock, distribution to holders of Common Stock or securities or property (including cash dividends that the Board determines are not in the ordinary
course of business but excluding normal cash dividends), corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation, reorganization or liquidation, the Board may make such substitution or adjustments to reflect such change in the
aggregate number and class of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan. 
  

	15.	Administration. 

 Subject to any provision of Rule
16b-3 that would require otherwise, the Plan shall be administered by the Board which shall have full authority to construe, interpret and administer the Plan. The Board may make such rules and establish such procedures for the administration
of the Plan as it deems appropriate to carry out the purpose of the Plan. The Board may act on its own behalf or through the actions of its duly authorized delegate. Any determination by the Board shall be final and binding on all persons.

  

	16.	Amendment and Termination of the Plan. 

 The Plan
may be terminated and may be altered, amended, suspended or terminated at any time, in whole or in part, by the Board; provided, however, that no such action will be effective without stockholder approval if such approval is required by law
or under the rules of such stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted. In addition, no such action may, without the consent of the Eligible Director to whom payment has been made, adversely affect
the pre-existing rights of any such Eligible Director. Unless previously terminated pursuant to this Section 16, the Plan shall terminate on the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date (as defined in Section 17 below). 
  

	17.	General Provisions. 

 (a) No Right to Serve as a
Director. Neither the Plan nor any action taken under the Plan shall be construed as giving any Eligible Director the right to be nominated, re-elected or retained as a member of the Board. 
 (b) Effective Date and Stockholder Approval. The Plan is effective 20 days after the mailing of the Information Statement dated April 19,
2006.
 (c) Conditions to Issuance of Plan Shares. If at any time the Board shall determine, in its sole discretion, that the listing,
registration or qualification of the Common Stock issuable under the Plan is required under any federal or state law or by any securities exchange, or the consent or approval of any 

 
governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the delivery or purchase of such shares, such shares shall
not be granted unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board. 
 (d) Special Terms. The term “Disability” means the Eligible Director is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason
of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months. 
 (e) Gender and Number. Whenever the context shall require, the masculine gender shall be construed to include the feminine and the singular
number the plural. 
 (f) Headings. The headings of sections and subsections herein are included solely for convenience of
reference and do not affect the meaning of any of the provisions of the Plan. 
 (g) Governing Law. The Plan and all rights and
obligations hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Nevada.Form of Indemnification Agreement

 Exhibit 10.3 
 INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 
 This Indemnification Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered
into as of [            ], 200[__] by and between China BAK Battery Inc., a Nevada company (the “Company”) and the undersigned, a director and/or officer of the Company
(“Indemnitee”). 
 RECITALS 
 1. The Company recognizes that highly competent persons are becoming more reluctant to serve corporations as directors or in other capacities unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance or
adequate indemnification against risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their services to the corporation. 
 2. The Board
of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that the inability to attract and retain highly competent persons to serve the Company is detrimental to the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and that it is
reasonable and necessary for the Company to provide adequate protection to such persons against risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their services to the corporation. 
 3. The Company is willing to indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and Indemnitee is willing to serve and continue to
serve the Company on the condition that he be so indemnified. 
 AGREEMENT 
 In consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows: 
  

	A.	DEFINITIONS 

 The following terms shall have the meanings
defined below: 
 Expenses shall include damages, judgments, fines, penalties, settlements and costs, attorneys’ fees and
disbursements and costs of attachment or similar bond, investigations, and any expenses paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in, participating in (including on appeal), or preparing for any of the foregoing
in, any Proceeding. 
 Indemnifiable Event means any event or occurrence that takes place either before or after the execution of this
Agreement, related to the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director or an officer of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity, or was
a director or officer of an entity that was a predecessor of the Company or another entity at the request of such predecessor entity, or related to anything done or not done by Indemnitee in any such capacity. 
 Participant means a person who is a party to, or witness or participant (including on appeal) in, a Proceeding. 

 Proceeding means any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, or any inquiry,
hearing or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other, in which Indemnitee may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise by reason of an Indemnifiable Event, including, without limitation, any
threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Company. 
  

	B.	AGREEMENT TO INDEMNIFY 

 1. General Agreement. In
the event Indemnitee was, is, or becomes a Participant in, or is threatened to be made a Participant in, a Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee from and against any and all Expenses which Indemnitee incurs or becomes obligated to
incur in connection with such Proceeding, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. 
 2. Indemnification of Expenses of
Successful Party. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits in defense of any Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter in such Proceeding, Indemnitee
shall be indemnified against all Expenses incurred in connection with such Proceeding or such claim, issue or matter, as the case may be. 
 3. Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for a portion of Expenses, but not for the total amount of Expenses, the Company shall indemnify the
Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses to which Indemnitee is entitled. 
 4. Exclusions. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement: 
 (a) to the extent that payment is
actually made to Indemnitee under a valid, enforceable and collectible insurance policy; 
 (b) in connection with a judicial action by or in
the right of the Company, in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which the Indemnitee shall have been adjudicated by final judgment in a court of law to be liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of his duty to
the Company unless and only to the extent that any court in which such action 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 indemnity for such Expenses as such court shall deem proper; 
 (c) in connection with any Proceeding initiated by
Indemnitee against the Company or any director or officer of the Company, and not by way of defense, unless (i) the Company has joined in or the Board has consented to the initiation of such Proceeding; or (ii) the Proceeding is one to
enforce indemnification rights under this Agreement or any applicable law; 
 (d) for a disgorgement of profits made from the purchase and
sale by the Indemnitee of securities pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or similar provisions of any applicable U.S. state statutory law or common law; 
  

 2 

 (e) brought about by the dishonesty or fraud of the Indemnitee seeking payment hereunder; provided,
however, that the Indemnitee shall be protected under this Agreement as to any claims upon which suit may be brought against him by reason of any alleged dishonesty on his part, unless a judgment or other final adjudication thereof adverse to the
Indemnitee establishes that he committed (i) acts of active and deliberate dishonesty, (ii) with actual dishonest purpose and intent, and (iii) which acts were material to the cause of action so adjudicated; 
 (f) for any judgment, fine or penalty which the Company is prohibited by applicable law from paying as indemnity; or 
 (g) arising out of Indemnitee’s breach of an employment agreement with the Company (if any) or any other agreement with the Company or any of its
subsidiaries. 
 5. No Employment Rights. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to create in Indemnitee any right to continued
employment with the Company. 
 6. Contribution. If the indemnification provided in this Agreement is unavailable and may not be paid
to Indemnitee for any reason other than those set forth in Section 4, then the Company shall contribute to the amount of Expenses paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable by Indemnitee in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by the Indemnitee on the other hand from the transaction from which such Proceeding arose, and (ii) the relative fault of the Company on the one
hand and of the Indemnitee on the other hand in connection with the events which resulted in such Expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Indemnitee on the other
hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent the circumstances resulting in such Expenses, judgments, fines or settlement
amounts. The Company agrees that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the foregoing equitable
considerations. 
  

	C.	INDEMNIFICATION PROCESS 

 1. Notice and Cooperation By
Indemnitee. Indemnitee shall, as a condition precedent to his right to be indemnified under this Agreement, give the Company notice in writing as soon as practicable of any claim made against Indemnitee for which indemnification will or could be
sought under this Agreement, provided that the delay of Indemnitee to give notice hereunder shall not prejudice any of Indemnitee’s rights hereunder, unless such delay results in the Company’s forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses.
Notice to the Company shall be given in accordance with Section F.7 below. In addition, Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and cooperation as the Company may reasonably request. 
 2. Indemnification Payment. 
 (a)
Advancement of Expenses. Indemnitee may submit a written request to the Company requesting that the Company advance to Indemnitee all Expenses that may be reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding as such Expenses are

  

 3 

 
incurred. The Company shall, within ten business days of receiving such a written request by Indemnitee, advance all requested Expenses to Indemnitee.

 (b) Reimbursement of Expenses. To the extent Indemnitee has not requested any advanced payment of Expenses from the Company,
Indemnitee shall be entitled to receive reimbursement for the Expenses incurred in connection with a Proceeding from the Company immediately after Indemnitee makes a written request to the Company for reimbursement. 
 (c) Determination by the Reviewing Party. Notwithstanding anything foregoing to the contrary, in the event the Reviewing Party informs the Company
that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification in connection with a Proceeding under this Agreement or applicable law, the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed by Indemnitee for all the Expenses previously advanced or otherwise paid to
Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding; provided, however, that Indemnitee may bring a suit to enforce his indemnification right in accordance with Section C.3 below. 
 3. Suit to Enforce Rights. Regardless of any action by the Reviewing Party, if Indemnitee has not received full indemnification within 30 days
after making a written demand in accordance with Section C.2 above, Indemnitee shall have the right to enforce its indemnification rights under this Agreement by commencing litigation in any court of competent jurisdiction seeking a determination by
the court or challenging any determination by the Reviewing Party or any aspect of the Agreement. Any determination by the Reviewing Party not challenged by Indemnitee and any judgment entered by the court shall be binding on the Company and
Indemnitee. 
 4. Assumption of Defense. In the event the Company is obligated under this Agreement to advance any Expenses for any
Proceeding against Indemnitee, the Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Proceeding, with counsel approved by Indemnitee, upon delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election to do so. After delivery of such notice,
approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same
Proceeding, unless (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, (ii) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded, based on written advice of counsel, that there may be a conflict of interest of
such counsel retained by the Company between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense, or (iii) the Company ceases or terminates the employment of such counsel with respect to the defense of such Proceeding, in any of which
events the fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Company. At all times, Indemnitee shall have the right to employ counsel in any Proceeding at Indemnitee’s expense. 
 5. Defense to Indemnification, Burden of Proof and Presumptions. It shall be a defense to any action brought by Indemnitee against the Company to
enforce this Agreement that it is not permissible under this Agreement or applicable law for the Company to indemnify the Indemnitee for the amount claimed. In connection with any such action or any determination by the Reviewing Party or otherwise
as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement, the burden of proving such a defense or determination shall be on the Company. Neither the failure of the Reviewing Party or the Company to have made a determination prior
to the commencement of such action by Indemnitee that indemnification is proper under the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the standard 

  

 4 

 
of conduct set forth in applicable law, nor an actual determination by the Reviewing Party or the Company that Indemnitee had 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. 
 6. No Settlement Without Consent. The Company shall not settle any Proceeding in any manner that would impose any damage, loss, penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s prior written consent. Neither the Company
nor Indemnitee shall unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed settlement, provided that Indemnitee may withhold his consent if any proposed settlement imposes any damage, loss, penalty or limitation on Indemnitee. 
 7. Company Participation. The Company shall not be liable to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement with regard to any judicial action if
the Company was not given a reasonable and timely opportunity, at its expense, to participate in the defense of such action, unless such lack of opportunity does not result in the Company’s forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses.

 8. Reviewing Party. 
 (a) For purposes of this Agreement, the Reviewing Party with respect to each indemnification request of Indemnitee shall by (A) the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested
Directors (as hereinafter defined), or (B) if a quorum of the Board of Directors consisting of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, said Disinterested Directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion
to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee; and, if it is determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ten days after such determination. Indemnitee shall
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 Independent Counsel or member of the Board of Directors shall act
reasonably and in good faith in making a determination under the Agreement of the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification. Any costs or expenses (including 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 indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee
harmless therefrom. “Disinterested Director” means a director of the Company who is not and was not a party to the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought by Indemnitee. 
 (b) If the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel, the Independent Counsel shall be selected
as provided in this Section 8(b). The Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board of Directors, in which event the preceding sentence shall apply), and Indemnitee
shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. In either event, Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, may, within 10 days after such written notice of selection shall have been
given, deliver to the Company or to Indemnitee, as the case may be, 

  

 5 

 
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 8(d) 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 made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a
court has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within 20 days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Company or
Indemnitee may petition the a court of competent jurisdiction 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 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. The Company shall pay any
and all reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel incurred by such Independent Counsel in connection with acting under this Agreement, and the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the procedures of this
Section 8(b), regardless of the manner in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed. 
 (c) In making a
determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the Reviewing Party shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance
with 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. The termination of any Proceeding or
of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement (with or without court approval), 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 he 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 his conduct was unlawful. 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 Company and any other corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity of which Indemnitee is or was serving at the written request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent or
fiduciary, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers and directors of the Company or such other corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity in the course of their duties, or on the advice of
legal counsel for the Company or such other corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity or on information or records given or reports made to the Company or such other corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity by an
independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Company or such other corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity. In addition, the knowledge and/or actions, or failure to
act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Company or such other corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.
The provisions of this Section 8(c) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which the

Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement. 
 (d) “Independent Counsel” means a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that is experienced in matters of corporation law
and neither presently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent (i) the Company or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party (other than with respect to matters concerning the Indemnitee under this Agreement,
or of other indemnitees 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 Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this
Agreement. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees 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. 
  

	D.	DIRECTOR AND OFFICER LIABILITY INSURANCE 

 1. Good Faith
Determination. The Company shall from time to time make the good faith determination whether or not it is practicable for the Company to obtain and maintain a policy or policies of insurance with reputable insurance companies providing the
officers and directors of the Company with coverage for losses incurred in connection with their services to the Company or to ensure the Company’s performance of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement. 
 2. Coverage of Indemnitee. To the extent the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing directors’ and officers’
liability insurance, 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 of the Company’s directors or officers. 
 3. No Obligation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to obtain or maintain any director and officer insurance
policy if the Company determines in good faith that such insurance is not reasonably available in the case that (i) premium costs for such insurance are disproportionate to the amount of coverage provided, or (ii) the coverage provided by
such insurance is limited by exclusions so as to provide an insufficient benefit. 
  

	E.	NON-EXCLUSIVITY; FEDERAL PREEMPTION; TERM 

 1.
Non-Exclusivity. The indemnification provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled under the Company’s current memorandum and articles of association, applicable law or any
written agreement between Indemnitee and the Company (including its subsidiaries and affiliates). The indemnification provided under this Agreement shall continue to be available to Indemnitee for any action taken or not taken while serving in an
indemnified capacity even though he may have ceased to serve in any such capacity at the time of any Proceeding. 
 2. Federal
Preemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, both the Company and Indemnitee acknowledge that in certain instances, U.S. federal law or public policy may 

  

 7 

 
override applicable law and prohibit the Company from indemnifying its directors and officers under this Agreement or otherwise. Such instances include, but
are not limited to, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s prohibition on indemnification for liabilities arising under certain U.S. federal securities laws. Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the Company has undertaken or may
be required in the future to undertake with the SEC to submit the question of indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a determination of the Company’s right under public policy to indemnify Indemnitee. 
 3. Duration of Agreement. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period Indemnitee is an officer
and/or a director of the Company (or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) and shall continue thereafter so long as
Indemnitee shall be subject to any Proceeding by reason of his former or current capacity at the Company, whether or not he is acting or serving in any such capacity at the time any expense is incurred for which indemnification can be provided under
this Agreement. This Agreement shall continue in effect regardless of whether Indemnitee continues to serve as an officer and/or a director of the Company or any other enterprise at the Company’s request. 
  

	F.	MISCELLANEOUS 

 1. Amendment of this Agreement. 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 operate as a waiver of any other provisions (whether or not
similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, no failure to exercise or any delay in exercising any right or remedy shall constitute a waiver. 
 2. Subrogation. In the event of payment to Indemnitee by the Company under this Agreement, the Company 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 shall do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the Company to bring
suit to enforce such rights. 
 3. Assignment; Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder
may be assigned by either party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party; except that the Company may, without such consent, assign all such rights and obligations to a successor in interest to the Company which assumes all
obligations of the Company under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by and against the parties hereto and the Company’s successors (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) and assigns, as well as Indemnitee’s spouses, heirs, and personal and legal representatives.
As a condition to any purchase, merger, consolidation or other business combination transaction involving the Company, the Company’s successor shall expressly assume the obligations under this Agreement. 
 4. Severability and Construction. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to require or shall be construed as requiring the Company to do or fail to
do any act in violation of applicable law. The Company’s inability, pursuant to a court order, to perform its 

  

 8 

 
obligations under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. In addition, if any portion of this Agreement shall be held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or otherwise unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The parties hereto acknowledge that they each have opportunities to have
their respective counsels review this Agreement. Accordingly, this Agreement shall be deemed to be the product of both of the parties hereto, and no ambiguity shall be construed in favor of or against either of the parties hereto. 
 5. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, both of which taken together shall constitute one instrument. 
 6. Governing Law. This agreement and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be
governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A., without giving effect to conflicts of law provisions thereof. 
 7. Notices. All notices, demands, and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be made in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered by hand, against receipt,
