 Exhibit 10.01 
 INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 
 This Indemnification Agreement (the
“Agreement”), dated as of July    , 2013, is entered into between Meru Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”) and
            (“Indemnitee”), and amends and supersedes any prior indemnification agreement entered into between the Corporation and the Indemnitee. 

W I T N E S S E T H: 
 WHEREAS, Indemnitee is either a member of the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”), a director of a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation, an
officer of the Corporation or an officer of a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation, or one or more of such positions, and in such capacity or capacities, or otherwise as an Agent (as hereinafter defined) of the Corporation, is performing a
valuable service for the Corporation; and 
 WHEREAS, the Corporation is aware that competent and experienced persons are
increasingly reluctant to serve as directors or officers of corporations or other business entities unless they are protected by comprehensive indemnification and liability insurance, due to increased exposure to litigation costs and risks resulting
from their service to such entities, and because the exposure frequently bears no reasonable relationship to the compensation of such directors and officers; and 
 WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Corporation has concluded that, to retain and attract talented and experienced individuals to serve or continue to serve as officers or directors of the Corporation
or its subsidiaries, and to encourage such individuals to take the business risks necessary for the success of the Corporation, it is necessary for the Corporation contractually to indemnify directors and officers and to assume for itself to the
fullest extent permitted by law expenses and damages in connection with claims against such officers or directors in connection with their service to the Corporation; and 
 WHEREAS, section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware (the “DGCL”), under which the Corporation is organized, empowers the Corporation to indemnify by agreement its
officers, directors, employees and agents, and persons who serve, at the request of the Corporation, as directors, officers, employees or agents of other corporations or enterprises, and expressly provides that the indemnification provided by the
DGCL is not exclusive; and 
 WHEREAS, the Corporation desires and has requested the Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve as
a director, officer or agent of the Corporation or one or more of its subsidiaries free from undue concern for claims for damages arising out of or related to such services to the Corporation; and 

WHEREAS, Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve and to take on additional service for or on behalf of the Corporation on the
condition that he or she be indemnified as herein provided; and 
 WHEREAS, it is intended that Indemnitee shall be paid
promptly by the Corporation all amounts necessary to effectuate in full the indemnity provided herein; and 

 WHEREAS, certain defined terms are set forth in Section 16 below: 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants in this Agreement, and of Indemnitee serving or continuing to serve
the Corporation or one or more of its subsidiaries as an Agent and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Services by Indemnitee. Indemnitee agrees to serve or continue to serve (a) as a director or an officer of the Corporation, or as a director or employee of a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Corporation, or one or more of such positions, so long as Indemnitee is duly appointed or elected and qualified in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws of the Corporation, and until such time as
Indemnitee resigns or fails to stand for election or is removed from Indemnitee’s position, or (b) otherwise as an Agent of the Corporation. Indemnitee may from time to time also perform other services at the request or for the convenience
of, or otherwise benefiting the Corporation or one or more of its subsidiaries. Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign or be removed from such position (subject to any other contractual obligation or other obligation imposed by
operation of law), in which event the Corporation shall have no obligation under this Agreement to continue to indemnify Indemnitee in any such position. 
 2. Indemnification of Indemnitee. Subject to the limitations set forth herein and particularly in Section 6 hereof, the Corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee as follows: 

(a) The Corporation shall, with respect to any Proceeding (as hereinafter defined), indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law or as such law may from time to time be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than the law permitted the Corporation to
provide before such amendment). The right to indemnification conferred herein shall be presumed to have been relied upon by Indemnitee in serving or continuing to serve the Corporation as an Agent and shall be enforceable as a contract right.
Without in any way diminishing the scope of the indemnification provided by this Section 2(a), the rights of indemnification of Indemnitee shall include but shall not be limited to those rights hereinafter set forth. 

(b) The Corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee if Indemnitee is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding
(other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was an Agent of the Corporation, or any subsidiary of the Corporation, or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving at the request
of the Corporation as an Agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against Expenses (as hereinafter defined) or Liabilities (as hereinafter defined), actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in
connection with such Proceeding 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 Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. 

  
 2 

 (c) The Corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee if Indemnitee was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was an Agent of the Corporation, or any
subsidiary of the Corporation, or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as an Agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against Expenses and, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, Liabilities 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 Corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect
of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought
shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery of the State of
Delaware or such other court shall deem proper. 
 3. Mandatory Advancement of Expenses. All reasonable Expenses incurred
by or on behalf of Indemnitee (including costs of enforcement of this Agreement) shall be advanced from time to time by the Corporation to Indemnitee within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Corporation of a written request for an
advance of Expenses, whether prior to or after final disposition of a Proceeding (except to the extent that there has been a Final Adverse Determination (as hereinafter defined) that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such Expenses),
including without limitation any Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Corporation. The written request for an advancement of any and all Expenses under this paragraph shall contain reasonable detail of the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee. In
the event that such written request shall be accompanied by an affidavit of counsel to Indemnitee to the effect that such counsel has reviewed such Expenses and that such Expenses are reasonable in such counsel’s view, then such expenses shall
be deemed reasonable in the absence of clear and convincing evidence to the contrary. By execution of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have made whatever undertaking as may be required by law at the time of any advancement of Expenses
with respect to repayment to the Corporation of such Expenses. In the event that the Corporation shall breach its obligation to advance Expenses under this Section 3, the parties hereto agree that Indemnitee’s remedies available at law
would not be adequate and that Indemnitee would be entitled to specific performance. 
 4. Presumptions and Effect of Certain
Proceedings. Upon making a request for indemnification, Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement and the Corporation shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in reaching any contrary
determination. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, arbitration award or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not affect this presumption or, except as determined by a non-appealable
judgment or other final non-appealable adjudication adverse to Indemnitee, establish a presumption with regard to any factual matter relevant to determining Indemnitee’s rights to indemnification hereunder. If the person or persons so empowered
to make a determination pursuant to Section 5 hereof shall have failed to make the requested determination within the period provided for in Section 5, a determination that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall be deemed to have
been made. 

  
 3 

 5. Procedure for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification. 

(a) Whenever Indemnitee believes that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit a
written request for indemnification to the Corporation. Any request for indemnification shall include sufficient documentation or information reasonably available to Indemnitee for the determination of entitlement to indemnification. In any event,
Indemnitee shall submit Indemnitee’s claim for indemnification within a reasonable time, not to exceed five (5) years after any judgment, order, settlement, dismissal, arbitration award, conviction, acceptance of a plea of nolo contendere
or its equivalent, or final determination, whichever is the later date for which Indemnitee requests indemnification. The Secretary or other appropriate officer shall, promptly upon receipt of Indemnitee’s request for indemnification, advise
the Board of Directors in writing that Indemnitee has made such request. Determination of Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification shall be made not later than sixty (60) days after the Corporation’s receipt of Indemnitee’s
written request for such indemnification, provided that any request for indemnification for Liabilities, other than amounts paid in settlement, shall have been made after a determination thereof in a Proceeding. If it is so determined that the
Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, and Indemnitee has already paid the Liabilities, reimbursement to the Indemnitee shall be made within ten (10) days after such determination; otherwise, the Corporation shall pay the Liabilities on
behalf of Indemnitee if and when Indemnitee becomes legally obligated to make payment. 
 (b) The Corporation shall be entitled
to select the forum in which Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification will be heard; provided, however, that if there is a Change in Control of the Corporation, Independent Legal Counsel (as hereinafter defined) shall determine
whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The forum shall be any one of the following: 
 (i) a majority
vote of Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined), even though less than a quorum; 
 (ii) by a committee
of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum; 
 (iii) Independent Legal Counsel, whose determination shall be made in a written opinion; or 
 (iv) the stockholders of the Corporation. 
 6. Specific Limitations on
Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Corporation shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any payment to Indemnitee with respect to any Proceeding: 

(a) To the extent that payment is actually made to Indemnitee under any insurance policy, or is made to Indemnitee by the Corporation or
an affiliate otherwise than pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the availability of such insurance, Indemnitee also may claim indemnification from the Corporation pursuant to this Agreement by assigning to the Corporation any claims under
such insurance to the extent Indemnitee is paid by the Corporation; 

  
 4 

 (b) Provided there has been no Change in Control, for Liabilities in connection with
Proceedings settled without the Corporation’s consent, which consent, however, shall not be unreasonably withheld; 
 (c)
For an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by Indemnitee of securities of the Corporation within the meaning of section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or
similar provisions of any state statutory or common law; 
 (d) To the extent it would be otherwise prohibited by law, if so
established by a non-appealable judgment or other final non-appealable adjudication adverse to Indemnitee; 
 (e) In connection
with a Proceeding commenced by Indemnitee (other than a Proceeding commenced by Indemnitee to enforce Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement) unless the commencement of such Proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors; or 

(f) any reimbursement of the Company by the Indemnitee of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any
profits realized by the Indemnitee from the sale of securities of the Company, as required in each case under the Exchange Act (including any such reimbursements that arise from an accounting restatement of the Company pursuant to Section 304
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), or the payment to the Company of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act). 

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, (i) Indemnitee is entitled to receive advancement of Expenses for the defense of any
Proceeding referenced in subsections (c) or (f) above; and (ii) if Indemnitee is required to make a payment in a Proceeding described in subsection (f), and no court in any such Proceeding has found that Indemnitee personally engaged
in acts or omissions outside the scope of indemnification, Indemnitee shall not be required to repay such advancement of Expenses. 
 7. Fees and Expenses of Independent Legal Counsel. The Corporation agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Legal Counsel should such Independent Legal Counsel be retained to
make a determination of Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification pursuant to Section 5(b) of this Agreement, and to fully indemnify such Independent Legal Counsel against any and all expenses and losses incurred by any of them arising
out of or relating to this Agreement or their engagement pursuant hereto. 
 8. Remedies of Indemnitee. 

(a) Success on the Merits or Otherwise. To the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of
any Proceeding referred to in Section 2 above in the defense of any claim, issue or matter described therein, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against Expenses actually incurred in connection therewith. For these purposes,
(i) Indemnitee will be deemed to have been “successful on the merits” upon termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by the winning of a motion to dismiss (with or without prejudice), motion for summary
judgment, settlement (with or without court approval); (ii) “success on the merits or otherwise” shall be construed in a 

  
 5 

 
manner that provides indemnification rights to Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law; and (iii) a settlement or other disposition of a Proceeding short of final judgment shall be
deemed to be successful if it permits a party to avoid expense, delay, distraction, disruption and uncertainty. In the event that any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party is resolved in any manner other than by adverse judgment against
Indemnitee (including, without limitation, settlement of such action, claim or proceeding with or without payment of money or other consideration), it shall be presumed that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in such action,
suit or proceeding. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion, by clear and convincing evidence. 
 (b) In the event that (i) a determination pursuant to Section 5 hereof is made that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, (ii) advances of Expenses are not made pursuant to this
Agreement, (iii) payment has not been timely made following a determination of entitlement to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, or (iv) Indemnitee otherwise seeks enforcement of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to a
final adjudication in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware of the remedy sought. Alternatively, unless court approval is required by law for the indemnification sought by Indemnitee, 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 now in effect, which award is to be made within ninety (90) days following the filing of the demand for
arbitration. The Corporation shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or arbitration award. In any such proceeding or arbitration Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification and advancement of
Expenses under this Agreement and the Corporation shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption. 
 (c) In the
event that a determination that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, in whole or in part, has been made pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the decision in the judicial proceeding or arbitration provided in paragraph (a) of this
Section 8 shall be made de novo and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of a determination that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification. 
 (d) If a determination that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification has been made pursuant to Section 5 hereof, or is deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 4 hereof or otherwise
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Corporation shall be bound by such determination. 
 (e) The Corporation shall be
precluded from asserting that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable. The Corporation shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Corporation is bound by all the
provisions of this Agreement and is precluded from making any assertion to the contrary. 
 (f) Expenses reasonably incurred by
Indemnitee in connection with Indemnitee’s request for indemnification under, seeking enforcement of or to recover damages for breach of this Agreement shall be advanced by the Corporation when and as incurred by Indemnitee irrespective of any
Final Adverse Determination that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification. 

  
 6 

 9. Contribution. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the
indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Corporation, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by 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 as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the
circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Corporation and Indemnitee as a result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such Proceeding; and/or (ii) the relative fault of
the Corporation (and its directors, officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s) and/or transaction(s). 
 10. Maintenance of Insurance. The Corporation represents that it presently has in place certain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies covering the directors and officers
of the Corporation and the directors and officers of the wholly owned subsidiaries of the Corporation. Subject only to the provisions within this Section 10, the Corporation agrees that so long as Indemnitee shall have consented to serve or
shall continue to serve as a director or officer of the Corporation as a director or officer of a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation, or one or more of such positions, or as an Agent of the Corporation, and thereafter so long as Indemnitee
shall be subject to any possible Proceeding (such periods being hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Indemnification Period”), the Corporation will use all reasonable efforts to maintain in effect for the benefit of
Indemnitee one or more valid, binding and enforceable policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance from established and reputable insurers, providing, in all respects, coverage both in scope and amount which is no less
favorable than that presently provided or, following the Corporation’s initial public offering, than that provided as of the time of such initial public offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall not be required to maintain
said policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance during any time period if during such period such insurance is not reasonably available or if it is determined in good faith by the then directors of the Corporation either
that: 
 (i) The premium cost of maintaining such insurance is substantially disproportionate to the amount of
coverage provided thereunder; or 
 (ii) The protection provided by such insurance is so limited by exclusions,
deductions or otherwise that there is insufficient benefit to warrant the cost of maintaining such insurance. 
 Anything in
this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, to the extent that and for so long as the Corporation shall choose to continue to maintain any policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance during the Indemnification Period, the
Corporation shall maintain similar and equivalent insurance for the benefit of Indemnitee during the Indemnification Period (unless such insurance shall be less favorable to Indemnitee than the Corporation’s existing policies). 

11. Modification, Waiver, Termination and Cancellation. No supplement, modification, termination, cancellation or amendment of
this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar), nor
shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver. 

  
 7 

 12. Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Corporation 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 Corporation effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights. 
 13. Notice by Indemnitee and Defense
of Claim. Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Corporation in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any matter, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative which may result in the right to indemnification or the advancement of Expenses, but the omission so to notify the Corporation will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to Indemnitee if such omission does not prejudice
the Corporation’s rights. If such omission does prejudice the Corporation’s rights, the Corporation will be relieved from liability only to the extent of such prejudice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such omission will not relieve the
Corporation from any liability that it may have to Indemnitee otherwise than under this Agreement. With respect to any Proceeding as to which Indemnitee notifies the Corporation of the commencement thereof: 

(a) The Corporation will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense; and 

(b) The Corporation jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Proceeding if there has been a Change in Control or if Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded
that there may be a conflict of interest between the Corporation and Indemnitee with respect to such Proceeding. After notice from the Corporation to Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense thereof, the Corporation will not be liable to
Indemnitee under this Agreement for any Expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise provided below. Indemnitee shall have the right to employ
Indemnitee’s own counsel in such Proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Corporation of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of Indemnitee unless: 

(i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been authorized by the Corporation; 

(ii) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that counsel engaged by the Corporation may not adequately represent
Indemnitee due to, among other things, actual or potential differing interests; or 
 (iii) the Corporation shall
not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense in such Proceeding or shall not in fact have assumed such defense and be acting in connection therewith with reasonable diligence; in each of which cases the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the expense of the Corporation. 

  
 8 

 (c) The Corporation shall not settle any Proceeding in any manner that would impose any
penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s written consent; provided, however, that Indemnitee will not unreasonably withhold his or her consent to any proposed settlement. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this agreement to the contrary, Indemnitee shall have the right to employ Indemnitee’s own counsel
in connection with any Proceeding, at the expense of the Company, if such counsel serves in a review, observer, advice, and counseling capacity and does not otherwise materially control or participate in the defense of such Proceeding; provided,
however, that Indemnitee must choose his or her own counsel from three options provided to the Indemnitee by the Company. 
 14.

 or to such other address as may have been furnished to Indemnitee by the
Corporation or to the Corporation by Indemnitee, as the case may be. 
 15. Nonexclusivity. The rights of Indemnitee
hereunder shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled under applicable law, the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws, or any agreements, vote of stockholders, resolution of the Board of
Directors or otherwise, and to the extent that during the Indemnification Period the rights of the then existing directors and officers are more favorable to such directors or officers than the rights currently provided to Indemnitee thereunder or
under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to the full benefits of such more favorable rights. 
 16. Certain
Definitions. 
 (a) “Agent” shall mean any person who is or was, or who has consented to serve as, a
director, officer, employee, agent, fiduciary, joint venturer, partner, manager or other official of the Corporation or a subsidiary or an affiliate of the Corporation, or any other entity (including without limitation, an employee benefit plan), in
each case either at the request of, for the convenience of, or otherwise to benefit the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation. Any person who is or was serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of a subsidiary of the Corporation
shall be deemed to be serving, or have served, at the request of the Corporation.

to the Board of Directors with the affirmative votes of at least a majority in the aggregate of the Original Directors who were still in office at the time of the election or nomination and directors whose election or nomination was previously so
approved (together, the directors referenced in clauses (A) and (B) of this section 16(b)(iii) shall be referred to as the “Continuing Directors”); 

(iv) The stockholders of the Corporation approve a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with any other corporation,
if such merger or consolidation would result in the voting securities of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior thereto representing (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) 50% or
less of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Corporation or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or 

(v) The stockholders of the Corporation approve (A) a plan of complete liquidation of the Corporation or (B) an
agreement for the sale or disposition by the Corporation of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets.

ownership of the common stock of the Corporation. 

  
 10

date” shall mean the later of (x) the date first written above in the preamble to this Agreement or (y) the date 24 months prior to the date of the event that may constitute a “Change in Control.”

owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Corporation immediately following such transaction in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Corporation’s common stock immediately preceding such transaction; and
provided, further, that the surviving corporation expressly assumes this Agreement. 
 (c) “Disinterested

Proceeding or establishing or enforcing a right to indemnification under this Agreement, applicable law or otherwise; provided, however, that “Expenses” shall not include any Liabilities.

indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 5 hereof and either (1) a final adjudication in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware from which there is no further right of appeal or decision of an arbitrator pursuant to
Section 8(a) hereof shall have denied Indemnitee’s right to indemnification hereunder, or (2) Indemnitee shall have failed to file a complaint in a Delaware court or seek an arbitrator’s award pursuant to Section 8(a) for a
period of one hundred twenty (120) days after the determination made pursuant to Section 5 hereof. 
 (f)
“Independent Legal Counsel” shall mean a law firm or a member of a firm or law professor selected by the Corporation and approved by Indemnitee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) or, if there has been a
Change in Control, selected by Indemnitee and approved by the Corporation (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), that neither is presently nor in the past five (5) years has been retained to represent: (i) the Corporation or
any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or Indemnitee or any corporation of which Indemnitee was or is a director, officer, employee or agent, or any subsidiary or affiliate of such a corporation, in any material matter, or (ii) any other party
to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Legal 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 Corporation or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s right to indemnification under this Agreement. 

  
 11

fines, penalties or amounts paid in settlement) of any Proceeding. 
 (h) “Proceeding” shall mean any
threatened, pending or completed action, claim, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, administrative hearing or any other proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, that is associated

Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the
Corporation), spouses, heirs and personal and legal representatives. This Agreement shall be deemed to be effective as of the commencement date of the Indemnitee’s service as an officer or director of the Corporation and shall continue in

 II. 
 Section 2.6 is amended to read as follows: 
 2.6 “Change

(a) Any Person (as defined below in this Section 2.6) is or becomes the beneficial owner within the meaning of Rule

 2 

 
case may be, of the corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction (including, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or indirectly) in substantially the same proportions relative to each other as their ownership, immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction, of the Outstanding Shares and the
Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (ii) no Person (other than: the Company, any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any corporation controlled by the Company, the
corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction, and any Person which beneficially owned, immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction, directly or indirectly twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the Outstanding Shares or the
Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be) will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, twenty-five percent (25%) or more of, respectively, the outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such
Corporate Transaction or the combined voting power of the outstanding securities of such corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors and (iii) individuals who were members of the Incumbent Board will constitute at least

14(d) of the Act. 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Plan or any Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any provision of this Plan or an
Agreement would cause a payment of a 409A Award to be made because of the occurrence of a Change in Control, then such payment shall not be made unless such Change in Control also constitutes a “change in ownership”, “change in
effective control” or “change in ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets” within the meaning of Code section 409A. Any payment that would have been made except for the application of the preceding sentence
shall be made in accordance with the payment schedule that would have applied in the absence of a Change in Control (and other Participant rights that are tied to a Change in Control, such as vesting, shall not be affected by this paragraph).

  
 3 

 III. 
 Section 2.11 is amended to read as follows, effective December 31, 2008: 
 2.11 “Disability” means, with respect to any Incentive Stock Option, a disability as determined under Code section 22(e)(3), and with respect to any other Award, (i) with respect to a
Participant who is eligible to participate in the Employer’s program of long-term disability insurance, if any, a condition with respect to which the Participant is entitled to commence benefits under such program, and (ii) with respect to
any Participant (including a Participant who is eligible to participate in the Employer’s program of long-term disability insurance, if any), a disability as determined under procedures established by the Committee or in any Agreement.
Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 2.11 or anything in any Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any provision of this Plan or an Agreement would cause a payment of a 409A Award to be made because of the
Participant’s Disability, then there shall not be a Disability that triggers payment until the date (if any) that the Participant is disabled within the meaning of Code section 409A(a)(2)(C). Any payment that would have been made except for the
application of the preceding sentence shall be made in accordance with the payment schedule that would have applied in the absence of a Disability (and other Participant rights that are tied to a Disability, such as vesting, shall not be affected by
the prior sentence). 
 IV. 
 Section 2.15 is amended to read as follows: 
 2.15 “Fair Market
Value” means, on any given date: 
 (a) if the Shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange
(“NYSE”) on the given date, Fair Market Value on such date shall be the closing price for a Share on the NYSE on the immediately preceding day on which sales were made on the NYSE; 

(b) if the Shares are listed on a national or regional securities exchange other than the NYSE on the given date, Fair
Market Value on such date shall be the closing price for a Share on the securities exchange on the immediately preceding day on which sales were made on such exchange; or 

(c) if neither (a) nor (b) applies on the given date, the fair market value of a Share on that date shall be
determined in good faith by the Committee. 
 For purposes of subsection (b) above, if Shares are not traded
on the NYSE but they are traded on more than one securities exchange on the given date, then the following exchange shall be referenced to determine Fair Market Value: (i) the NASDAQ, or (ii) if shares are not traded on the NASDAQ, the
largest exchange on which Shares are traded. 

  
 4 

 Subject to the next two paragraphs of this Section 2.15, for purposes of any Shares
awarded to Directors under Section 10.2 of this Plan, each reference in subsections (a) and (b) above to the closing price of a Share on the trading day immediately preceding the grant date for such Shares shall instead be a reference
to the closing price of a Share on the last trading day of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the grant date for such Shares as specified in Section 10.2 (e.g., for purposes of any Shares awarded on September 30, 2013, under
Section 10.2, ‘Fair Market Value’ shall be the NYSE closing price for a Share on June 28, 2013). 

Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to the next paragraph, if the Committee determines in its discretion that an alternative
definition of Fair Market Value should be used in connection with the grant, exercise, vesting, settlement or payout of any Award, it may specify such alternative definition in the Agreement applicable to the Award. Such alternative definition may
include a price that is based on the opening, actual, high, low, or average selling prices of a Share on the NYSE or other securities exchange on the given date, the trading date preceding the given date, the trading date next succeeding the given
date, or an average of trading days. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the case of an Option or SAR, Fair Market
Value shall be determined in accordance with a definition of fair market value that permits the Award to be exempt from Code section 409A; and (ii) in the case of an Option that is intended to qualify as an ISO under Code section 422 or an
Award that is intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Code section 162(m), Fair Market Value shall be determined by the Committee in accordance with the requirements of Code section 422 or Code section 162(m), as applicable.

 V. 

Section 7.2 is amended by adding the following sentence at the end thereof: 
 The Award may provide for lapse of the Restriction Period in monthly or longer installments over the course of the Restriction Period, as determined by the Committee in its discretion. 

VI. 
 Article 10 is amended in
its entirety to read as follows: 
 10.1 Director Awards. On each date that the Company makes its regular, annual grant of
Awards to employees (the “Annual Grant Date”), each Director shall be granted a Stock Award or NQSO in an amount determined by the Committee; provided, however, that each individual who is first elected to serve as a Director on a date
after an Annual Grant Date and prior to the next Annual Grant Date (“Prorated Grant Date”) shall be granted a prorated Stock Award and/or NQSO, as follows: if the Prorated Grant Date is less than 3 months after the Annual Grant Date, 100%
of the Awards granted to Directors 

  
 5 

 
on the Annual Grant Date; if the Prorated Grant Date is at least 3 months but less than 6 months after the Annual Grant Date, 75% of the Awards granted to Directors on the Annual Grant Date; if
the Prorated Grant Date is at least 6 months but less than 9 months after the Annual Grant Date, 50% of the Awards granted to Directors on the Annual Grant Date; if the Prorated Grant Date is at least 9 months but less than 12 months after the
Annual Grant Date, 25% of the Awards granted to Directors on the Annual Grant Date. 
 10.2 Other Director Compensation.
In place of cash compensation, on the last day of March, June, September and December of each calendar year, each Director shall be awarded, on a current basis or at the prior election of the Director on a deferred basis, a number of Shares (rounded
to the nearest whole Share) equal to one-quarter of the dollar amount specified by the Committee for such calendar year divided by the Fair Market Value of a Share on such date; provided that such dollar amount shall be reduced to the extent a
Director elects (prior to such immediately preceding December 31, or with respect to any person who became a Director subsequent to such date, within 30 days of becoming a Director) to receive cash in lieu of Shares under this Section 10.2
(a “Cash Election”). For purposes of Shares awarded under this Section 10.2, the definition of Fair Market Value in Section 2.15 above shall be applied by replacing each reference to the closing price of a Share on the trading
day immediately preceding the grant date for such Shares with a reference to the closing price of a Share on the last trading day of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the grant date for such Shares (e.g., for purposes of any Shares awarded
on September 30, 2013, under this Section 10.2, “Fair Market Value” shall be the NYSE closing price for a Share on June 28, 2013). The Committee shall specify the dollar amount in effect under this Section 10.2 for a
calendar year no later than March 31 of such calendar year. Any Shares awarded pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall not be Restricted Stock. On or before each December 31 (or in the case of a person who first becomes a Director
subsequent to December 31, within 30 days of becoming a Director), a Director may, by written notice to the Company, elect to defer receipt (a “Deferral Election”) of any or all of the Shares to be granted to the Director under this
Section 10.2 (or cash to the extent of his or her Cash Election) which would otherwise be earned for service performed thereafter by him or her. Such election shall be made on a form prescribed by the Company for such deferrals and shall comply
with the requirements of Code section 409A.” 
 VII. 
 Section 15.9(c) is amended in its entirety to read as follows: 

(c) To the extent not preempted by federal law, the Plan and all Agreements hereunder shall be construed in accordance
with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, excluding any conflicts or choice or law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of the Plan or the Agreement (as applicable) to the substantive law of any
other jurisdiction. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Agreement, the recipient of an Award is deemed to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Federal and state courts of New York to resolve any and all issues that may arise
out of or relate to the Plan or such Agreement. 

  
 6 

 VIII. 
 The following new Section 15.10 is added at the end of the Plan: 
 15.10: No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award; in the discretion of the Committee, the Company shall forfeit the value of
fractional shares or make cash payments in lieu of fractional Shares. 
 ***** 

The foregoing First Amendment to the Plan has been executed on behalf of the Committee on this 26th day of February, 2013, effective on
the date hereof.
