date on which such note is distributed to the public pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act. 
  
 SECTION 2. HOLDERS 
  
 A
Person is deemed to be a holder of Transfer Restricted Securities (each, a “Holder”) whenever such Person owns Transfer Restricted Securities. 
  

SECTION 3. REGISTERED EXCHANGE OFFER 
  
 (a) Unless the Exchange Offer shall not be permitted by applicable federal law, the Company shall (i) cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to
be filed with the Commission not later than 90 days after the Closing Date (such 90th day being the “Exchange Filing Deadline”), (ii) use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Exchange Offer Registration Statement to
become effective on or prior to 180 days after the Closing Date (such 
  

 3 

 180th day being the “Exchange Effectiveness Deadline”), and (iii) commence the Exchange
Offer promptly following the declaration of effectiveness of such Exchange Offer Registration Statement and use all commercially reasonable efforts to Consummate the Exchange Offer on or prior to 30 Business Days, or longer, if required by the
federal securities laws, after such Exchange Offer Registration Statement has been declared effective (such 30th day being the “Consummation Deadline.”) The Exchange Offer shall be on the appropriate form permitting (x) registration
of the Series B Notes to be offered in exchange for the Series A Notes that are Transfer Restricted Securities and (y) resales of Series B Notes by Broker-Dealers that tendered into the Exchange Offer Series A Notes that such Broker-Dealer acquired
for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Series A Notes acquired directly from the Company or any of its Affiliates) as contemplated by Section 3(c) hereof. 
  
 (b) The Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be effective continuously, and shall keep the Exchange Offer open for a period of not less than the minimum period required under applicable federal and state securities laws to Consummate the Exchange Offer;
provided, however, that in no event shall such period be less than 20 Business Days. The Company shall cause the Exchange Offer to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws. No securities other than the Series B Notes shall
be included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement. 
  
 (c)
The Company shall include a “Plan of Distribution” section in the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and indicate therein that any Broker-Dealer who holds Transfer Restricted Securities that were acquired for
the account of such Broker-Dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Series A Notes acquired directly from the Company or any Affiliate of the Company), may exchange such Transfer Restricted Securities
pursuant to the Exchange Offer. Such “Plan of Distribution” section shall also contain all other information with respect to such sales by such Broker-Dealers that the Commission may require in order to permit such sales pursuant thereto,
but such “Plan of Distribution” shall not name any such Broker-Dealer or disclose the amount of Transfer Restricted Securities held by any such Broker-Dealer, except to the extent required by the Commission as a result of a change in
policy, rules or regulations after the date of this Agreement. 
  
 Because such Broker-Dealer may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Act and must, therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Act in connection with its initial sale of any Series B Notes
received by such Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, the Company shall permit the use of the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement by such Broker-Dealer to satisfy such prospectus delivery requirement. To the extent
necessary to ensure that the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is available for sales of Series B Notes by Broker-Dealers, the Company agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented, amended and current as required by and subject to the provisions of Section 6(a) and (c) hereof and in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement, the Act and the policies, rules
and regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a period of 180 days from the Consummation Deadline or such shorter period as will terminate when all Transfer Restricted Securities covered 
  

 4 

 by such Registration Statement have been sold pursuant thereto. The Company shall provide sufficient
copies of the latest version of such Prospectus to such Broker-Dealers, as promptly as practicable upon request, and in no event later than two Business Days after such request, at any time during such period. 
  
 SECTION 4. SHELF REGISTRATION 
  
 (a) Shelf Registration. If (i) the Company is not (A) required to
file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement; or (B) permitted to consummate the Exchange Offer because the Exchange Offer is not permitted by applicable law or Commission policy; or (ii) any Holder notifies the Company prior to the 20th Business
Day following the Consummation Deadline that (A) it is prohibited by law or Commission policy from participating in the Exchange Offer; or (B) it may not resell the Series B Notes acquired by it in the Exchange Offer to the public without delivering
a prospectus and the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not appropriate or available for such resales by such Holder; or (C) it is a Broker-Dealer and holds Series A Notes acquired directly from the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company, then the Company shall: 
  
 (x) use all commercially reasonable efforts, to cause to be filed, on or prior to 30 days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the Company determines that the Exchange Offer Registration Statement cannot be filed as a result of clause
(a)(i) of this Section 4 and (ii) the date on which the Company receives the notice specified in clause (a)(ii) of this Section 4, (such earlier date, the “Shelf Filing Deadline”), a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415
under the Act (which may be an amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (the “Shelf Registration Statement”)), relating to all Transfer Restricted Securities; provided, however, that notwithstanding this Section
4(a)(x), the Company shall not be required to file the Shelf Registration Statement prior to the Exchange Offer Filing Deadline; and 
  
 (y) shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to become effective on or prior to 90 days
after the Shelf Filing Deadline (such 90th day the “Shelf Effectiveness Deadline”). 
  
 If, after the Company has filed an Exchange Offer Registration Statement that satisfies the requirements of Section 3(a) hereof, the Company is required
to file and make effective a Shelf Registration Statement solely because the Exchange Offer is not permitted under applicable law (i.e., clause (a)(ii) of this Section 4), then the filing of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement shall be deemed
to satisfy the requirements of clause (x) of this Section 4(a); provided, that in such event, the Company shall remain obligated to meet the Shelf Effectiveness Deadline set forth in clause (y) of this Section 4(a). 
  
 To the extent necessary to ensure that the Shelf Registration Statement is
available for sales of Transfer Restricted Securities by the Holders thereof entitled to the benefit of this Section 4(a) and the other securities required to be registered therein pursuant to Section 6(b)(ii) 
  

 5 

 hereof, the Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to keep any Shelf Registration
Statement required by this Section 4(a) continuously effective, supplemented, amended and current as required by and subject to the provisions of Sections 6(b) and (c) hereof and in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement, the Act and the
policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a period of at least two years (as extended pursuant to Section 6(c)(i) hereof) following the Closing Date, or such shorter period as will terminate when all
Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant thereto. 
  
 (b) Provision by Holders of Certain Information in Connection with the Shelf Registration Statement. No Holder may include any of its Transfer
Restricted Securities in any Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless and until (i) such Holder furnishes to the Company in writing, within 10 Business Days after receipt of a request therefor, the information specified in Item
507 or 508 of Regulation S-K, as applicable, of the Act for use in connection with any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus included therein, and (ii) such Holder furnishes to the Company in writing, promptly after
receipt of a request therefore, any other information regarding such Holder and the distribution by such Holder of such Transfer Restricted Securities as may be required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement under applicable securities or
Blue Sky laws or pursuant to Commission comments and any information otherwise required by the Company to comply with applicable securities or Blue Sky laws. Each selling Holder shall promptly furnish additional information required to be disclosed
in order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such Holder not materially misleading. No Holder shall be entitled to liquidated damages pursuant to Section 5 hereof unless and until such Holder shall have furnished to the
Company all information required by this Section 4(b). 
  
 SECTION 5.
LIQUIDATED DAMAGES 
  
 If (a) any Registration Statement
required by this Agreement is not filed with the Commission on or prior to the Exchange Filing Deadline or Shelf Filing Deadline, as applicable, (b) any such Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the
Exchange Effectiveness Deadline or Shelf Effectiveness Deadline, as applicable, (c) the Exchange Offer has not been Consummated on or prior to the Consummation Deadline or (d) the Shelf Registration Statement or the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement is declared effective but thereafter ceases to be effective or usable in connection with resales of Transfer Restricted Securities during the periods specified in this Agreement (each such event referred to in clauses (a) through (d)
above, a “Registration Default”), then the Company agrees that liquidated damages shall accrue on Transfer Restricted Securities affected thereby at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum on the Accreted Value (as defined in the Indenture)
of such Transfer Restricted Securities with respect to the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of the first Registration Default. The amount of the liquidated damages shall increase at a rate of 0.25% per annum on the Accreted
Value of such Transfer Restricted Securities with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum rate of liquidated damages of 1.00% per annum of the Accreted Value of such Transfer
Restricted Securities; provided, that liquidated damages shall not accrue for more than one Registration Default at any given time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) upon filing of the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement (and/or, if applicable, the 
  

 6 

 Shelf Registration Statement), in the case of clause (a) of this Section 5, (ii) upon the effectiveness
of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement), in the case of clause (b) of this Section 5, (iii) upon Consummation of the Exchange Offer, in the case of clause (c) of this Section 5, or (iv)
upon the filing of a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or an additional Registration Statement that causes the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement) to again be declared
effective or made usable in the case of clause (d) of this Section 5, the liquidated damages payable with respect to the Transfer Restricted Securities as a result of such clauses (a), (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 5, as applicable, shall cease.

  
 All liquidated damages that accrue prior to March 15, 2009
will be added to the Accreted Value of Transfer Restricted Securities. All liquidated damages that accrue from and after March 15, 2009 will be paid in cash by the Company to the Holders entitled thereto, in the manner provided for the payment of
interest in the Indenture, on March 15, 2010. Notwithstanding the fact that any securities for which liquidated damages are due cease to be Transfer Restricted Securities, all obligations of the Company to pay liquidated damages with respect to
securities shall survive until such time as such obligations with respect to such securities shall have been satisfied in full. 
  
 A Registration Default referred to in this Section 5 shall be deemed not to have occurred and be continuing in relation to a Shelf Registration Statement
or the related prospectus if (i) such Registration Default has occurred solely as a result of (x) the filing of a post-effective amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement to incorporate annual audited financial information with respect to the
Company where such post-effective amendment is not yet effective and needs to be declared effective to permit Holders to use the related prospectus or (y) other material events, with respect to the Company, that would need to be described in such
Shelf Registration Statement or the related prospectus and (ii) in the case of clause (y), the Company is proceeding promptly and in good faith to amend or supplement such Shelf Registration Statement and related prospectus to describe such events;
provided, however, that in any case if such Registration Default occurs for a continuous period in excess of 30 days, liquidated damages shall be payable in accordance with the above paragraph from the day such Registration Default occurs
until such Registration Default is cured. 
  
 SECTION 6. REGISTRATION
PROCEDURES 
  
 (a) Exchange Offer Registration
Statement. In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company shall (i) comply with all applicable provisions of Section 6(c) hereof, (ii) use all commercially reasonable efforts to effect such exchange and to permit the resale of Series B Notes
by Broker-Dealers that tendered in the Exchange Offer Series A Notes that such Broker-Dealer acquired for its own account as a result of its market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Series A Notes acquired directly from the
Company or any of its Affiliates) being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and (iii) comply with all of the following provisions: 
  
 (A) As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer, each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities
(including, without limitation, any Holder who is a Broker-Dealer) shall furnish, upon the request of the Company, 
  

 7 

 prior to the Consummation of the Exchange Offer, a written representation to the Company
(which may be contained in the letter of transmittal contemplated by the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) to the effect that (1) it is not an Affiliate of the Company, (2) it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, and has no
arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in, a distribution of the Series B Notes to be issued in the Exchange Offer and (3) it is acquiring the Series B Notes in its ordinary course of business. As a condition to its
participation in the Exchange Offer each Holder using the Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of the Series B Notes shall acknowledge and agree that, if the resales are of Series B Notes obtained by such Holder in exchange for Series A
Notes acquired directly from the Company or an Affiliate thereof, it (x) could not, under Commission policy as in effect on the date of this Agreement, rely on the position of the Commission enunciated in Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc.
(available June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the Commission’s letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and similar no-action letters, and (y) must comply
with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction and that such a secondary resale transaction must be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling
security holder information required by Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K. 
  
 (B) Prior to effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the Company shall provide a supplemental letter to the Commission
(1) stating that the Company is registering the Exchange Offer in reliance on the position of the Commission enunciated in Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc. (available June 5,
1991) as interpreted in the Commission’s letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and, if applicable, any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (a)(iii)(A) of this Section 6, and (2) including a representation that
the Company has not entered into any arrangement or understanding with any Person to distribute the Series B Notes to be received in the Exchange Offer and that, to the best of the Company’s information and belief, each Holder participating in
the Exchange Offer is acquiring the Series B Notes in its ordinary course of business and has no arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution of the Series B Notes received in the Exchange Offer. 
  
 (b) Shelf Registration Statement. In connection with the Shelf
Registration Statement, the Company shall: 
  
 (i) comply with all the provisions of Section 6(c) hereof and use all commercially reasonable efforts to effect such registration to permit the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities being sold in accordance with the intended method or
methods of distribution thereof (as indicated in the information furnished to the Company pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof), and pursuant thereto the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement relating to the
registration on any appropriate form under the Act, which form shall be available for the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof within the time periods and otherwise in
accordance with the provisions hereof, and 
  
  

 8 

 (ii) issue, upon the request of any Holder or purchaser of Series A Notes covered by any
Shelf Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement, Series B Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Series A Notes sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and surrendered to the
Company for cancellation; the Company shall register Series B Notes on the Shelf Registration Statement for this purpose and issue the Series B Notes to the purchaser(s) of securities subject to the Shelf Registration Statement in the names as such
purchaser(s) shall designate. 
  
 (c) General Provisions.
In connection with any Registration Statement and any related Prospectus required by this Agreement, the Company shall: 
  
 (i) use all commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective and provide all requisite financial
statements for the period specified in Sections 3 or 4 of this Agreement, as applicable. Upon the occurrence of any event that would cause any such Registration Statement or the Prospectus contained therein (A) to contain an untrue statement of
material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (B) not to be effective and usable for resale of Transfer Restricted Securities
during the period required by this Agreement, the Company shall file promptly an appropriate amendment to such Registration Statement curing such defect, and, if Commission review is required, use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause such
amendment to be declared effective as soon as practicable; 
  
 (ii) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the applicable Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the applicable
period set forth in Sections 3 or 4 hereof, as the case may be; cause the Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Act, and to comply fully with Rules 424,
430A and 462, as applicable, under the Act in a timely manner; and comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the
intended method or methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus; 
  
 (iii) advise the Initial Purchaser and, with respect to a Shelf Registration Statement, the underwriter(s), if any, and the selling
Holders and, if requested by such Persons, confirm such advice in writing (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information, unless such Holder agrees to keep such information confidential), (A) when the Prospectus or any
Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to any applicable Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective, (B) of any request by the Commission for
amendments to the Registration Statement or amendments or 
  

 9 

 supplements to the Prospectus or for additional information relating thereto, (C) of the
issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement under the Act or of the suspension by any state securities commission of the qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities for offering or
sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any of the preceding purposes, (D) of the existence of any fact or the happening of any event that as a result of which the Registration Statement or the Prospectus as then amended or
supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not
misleading. If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or any state securities commission or other regulatory authority shall issue an order suspending the qualification or
exemption from qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under state securities or Blue Sky laws, the Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest possible time;

  
 (iv) subject to Section 6(c)(i) hereof, if
any fact or event contemplated by Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof shall exist or have occurred, prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or
file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of Transfer Restricted Securities, the Prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; 
  
 (v) furnish to the Initial Purchaser and with respect to a Shelf Registration Statement, a representative designated by the majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Holders selling Transfer Restricted Securities and any underwriter(s) participating in any disposition pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement, in connection with such exchange or sale, if any, before filing with
the Commission, copies of any Registration Statement or any Prospectus included therein or any amendments or supplements to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (including all documents incorporated by reference after the initial filing of
such Registration Statement), which documents shall be subject to the review and comment of such representative and underwriter(s) in connection with such sale, if any, for a period of at least five Business Days, and the Company shall not file any
such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (including all such documents incorporated by reference) to which such representative or underwriter(s) shall reasonably object
within five Business Days after such Holders’ receipt thereof. A representative designated by the majority in aggregate principal amount of the Holders selling Transfer Restricted Securities and the underwriter(s) shall be deemed to have
reasonably objected to such filing if such Registration Statement, amendment, Prospectus or supplement, as applicable, as proposed to be filed, contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or fails to comply with the applicable requirements of the Act; 
  

 10 

 (vi) promptly prior to the filing of any document that is to be incorporated by reference
into a Registration Statement or Prospectus, provide copies of such document to a representative designated by the majority in aggregate principal amount of the Holders selling Transfer Restricted Securities and any underwriter(s) participating in
any disposition pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement who so requests in connection with such exchange or sale, if any, make the Company’s representatives available for discussion of such document and other customary due diligence matters,
and include such information in such document prior to the filing thereof as such representative or such underwriter(s) may reasonably request; 
  
 (vii) make available, at reasonable times, for inspection by each Holder, any underwriter(s) participating in any disposition pursuant to
a Shelf Registration Statement and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holders or any such underwriter(s), all pertinent financial and other records and pertinent corporate documents of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers,
directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Holder, attorney or accountant in connection with such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto subsequent to the filing thereof and prior to
its effectiveness; provided, however, that the foregoing inspection and information gathering shall be coordinated on behalf of the Holders by a representative designated by the majority in aggregate principal amount of the Holders selling
Transfer Restricted Securities; provided, further, that all such information shall be kept confidential by such representative or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent, unless such disclosure is necessary to avoid or correct a
misstatement or omission in such Registration Statement, is made in connection with a court proceeding or required by law, or such information becomes available to the public generally or through a third party without an accompanying obligation of
confidentiality. 
  
 (viii) if requested by the
underwriter(s), if any, promptly include in any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus used in connection therewith, pursuant to a supplement or post-effective amendment if necessary, such information as such underwriter(s) may reasonably
request to have included therein, including, without limitation, information relating to the “Plan of Distribution” of the Transfer Restricted Securities; and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment as soon as practicable after the Company is notified of the matters to be included in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; 
  
 (ix) furnish to each Holder and each underwriter, if any, in connection with such exchange or sale without charge, one copy of the
Registration Statement, as first filed with the Commission, and of each amendment thereto, including all documents incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits, including exhibits incorporated therein by reference, if so requested by such
Holder; 
  
 (x) deliver to each Holder and each
underwriter, if any, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons reasonably may request; the Company hereby consents to the use (in accordance with
law) of the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by each selling Holder and each underwriter, if any, in 
  

 11 

 connection with the offering and the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Prospectus
or any amendment or supplement thereto; 
  
 (xi)
upon the request of any Holder, enter into such customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary form in the event of a Shelf Registration Statement) and make such customary representations and warranties and take all such
other commercially reasonable actions in connection therewith in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to any applicable Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement as may be
reasonably requested by any Holder in connection with any sale or resale pursuant to any applicable Registration Statement. In such connection, the Company shall: 
  
 (A) upon request, furnish to the Initial Purchaser, any Holder and each underwriter, if any, upon
Consummation of the Exchange Offer or upon the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be: 
  
 (1) all customary documents and certificates and updates, executed by its officers, that are reasonably requested by the underwriters;

  
 (2) customary opinions of counsel to the
Company and updates thereof (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriters) addressed to the underwriters and the selling Holders covering the matters customarily covered in
opinions requested in underwritten offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by such Holders and underwriters, and in any event including a statement to the effect that such counsel has participated in conferences with officers
and other representatives of the Company, representatives of the independent public accountants for the Company and have considered the matters required to be stated therein and the statements contained therein, although such counsel has not
independently checked or verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such statements; and that such counsel advises that, on the basis of the foregoing (relying as to materiality to the extent such counsel deems appropriate upon the
statements of directors, officers and other representatives of the Company and without independent check or verification), no facts came to such counsel’s attention that caused such counsel to believe that the applicable Registration Statement,
at the time such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto became effective and, in the case of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as of the date of Consummation of the Exchange Offer, contained an untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or that the Prospectus contained in such Registration Statement as of its date and, in the case of the
opinion dated the date of Consummation of the Exchange Offer, as of the date of Consummation, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements 
  

 12 

 therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Without limiting
the foregoing, such counsel may state further that such counsel assumes no responsibility for, has not independently verified, and expresses no views as to, the financial statements, notes or other historical or pro forma financial or accounting
data or schedules included in any Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement or the related Prospectus or omitted therefrom; and; 
  
 (3) a customary comfort letter, dated the date of Consummation of the Exchange Offer, or as of the date of effectiveness of the Shelf
Registration Statement, as the case may be, from the Company’s independent accountants, in the customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in comfort letters to underwriters in connection with underwritten offerings, and
affirming the matters set forth in the comfort letters delivered pursuant to Section 9(g) of the Purchase Agreement; and 
  
 (B) deliver such other documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the selling Holders, the Initial Purchaser and each
underwriter, if any, to evidence compliance with the matters covered in clause (A) of this Section 6(c)(xi) and with any customary conditions contained in any agreement entered into by the Company pursuant to clause (xi) of this Section 6(c);

  
 (xii) prior to any public offering of
Transfer Restricted Securities, cooperate with the selling Holders and their counsel in connection with the registration and qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the
selling Holders may reasonably request and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to register or qualify as a foreign corporation where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to the service of process in suits or to taxation, other
than as to matters and transactions relating to the Registration Statement, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject; 
  
 (xiii) in connection with any sale of Transfer Restricted Securities that will result in such securities no longer being Transfer
Restricted Securities, (A) cooperate with the Holders and the underwriter(s), if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends
and (B) register such Transfer Restricted Securities in such denominations and such names as the selling Holders or the underwriter(s), if any, may request at least two Business Days prior to such sale of Transfer Restricted Securities; 

 
 (xiv) use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause
the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller 
  

 13 

 or sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such Transfer Restricted Securities, subject to the
proviso contained in clause (xii) of this Section 6(c); 
  
 (xv) issue, upon the request of any Holder of Series A Notes covered by the Shelf Registration Statement, Series B Notes, having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Series A Notes
surrendered to the Company by such Holder in exchange therefor or being sold by such Holder; such Series B Notes to be registered in the name of such Holder or in the name of the purchaser(s) of such Notes, as the case may be; in return, the Series
A Notes held by such Holder shall be surrendered to the Company for cancellation; 
  
 (xvi) provide a CUSIP number for all Transfer Restricted Securities not later than the effective date of a Registration Statement covering
such Transfer Restricted Securities and provide the Trustee under the Indenture with printed certificates for the Transfer Restricted Securities which are in a form eligible for deposit with the Depository Trust Company; 
  
 (xvii) cooperate and assist in any filings required to be
made with the NASD and in the performance of any due diligence investigation by any underwriter (including any “qualified independent underwriter”) that is required to be retained in accordance with the rules and regulations of the NASD;

  
 (xviii) otherwise use all commercially
reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make generally available to its security holders with regard to any applicable Registration Statement, as soon as practicable, a consolidated earning
statement meeting the requirements of Rule 158 (which need not be audited) covering a twelve-month period beginning after the effective date of the Registration Statement (as such term is defined in paragraph (c) of Rule 158 under the Act);

  
 (xix) cause the Indenture to be qualified
under the TIA not later than the effective date of the first Registration Statement required by this Agreement and, in connection therewith, cooperate with the Trustee and the Holders to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be required for
such Indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of the TIA; and execute and use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Trustee to execute all documents that may be required to effect such changes and all other forms and
documents required to be filed with the Commission to enable such Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner; and 
  
 (xx) provide promptly to each Holder, upon request, each document filed with the Commission pursuant to the requirements of Sections 13 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act. 
  
 (d) Restrictions on Holders.
Each Holder agrees by acquisition of a Transfer Restricted Security that, upon receipt of the notice referred to in Section 6(c)(iii)(C) hereof or any notice from the Company of the existence of any fact of the kind described in Section 6(c)(iii)(D)
hereof (in each case, a “Suspension Notice”), such Holder shall forthwith discontinue 
  

 14 

 disposition of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement until (i) such Holder has
received copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(c)(iv) hereof, or (ii) such Holder is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or
supplemental filings that are incorporated by reference in the Prospectus (in each case, the “Recommencement Date”). Each Holder receiving a Suspension Notice hereby agrees that it shall either (i) destroy any Prospectuses, other
than permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s possession which have been replaced by the Company with more recently dated Prospectuses or (ii) deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file
copies, then in such Holder’s possession of the Prospectus covering such Transfer Restricted Securities that was current at the time of receipt of the Suspension Notice. The time period regarding the effectiveness of such Registration Statement
set forth in Sections 3 or 4 herein, as applicable, shall be extended by a number of days equal to the number of days in the period from and including the date of delivery of the Suspension Notice to the Recommencement Date. 
  
 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any party to this Agreement
(and any employee, representative, or other agent of any party to this Agreement) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. federal income tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement (the “Transactions”) and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided, however, that neither party (nor any
employee, representative or other agent thereof) shall disclose any information (1) that is not relevant to an understanding of the U.S. federal income tax treatment or tax structure of the Transactions or (2) to the extent such disclosure could
result in a violation of any federal or state securities laws. 
  
 (e) Participation in Underwritten Registration. In the event of an offer and sale of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to an underwriting agreement and Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement, no Holder may
participate in such offer and sale unless such Holder (i) agrees to sell such Holder’s Transfer Restricted Securities on the basis provided in the underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled to approve such arrangements and (ii)
completes and executes all reasonable questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements, lock-up letters and other documents reasonably required under the terms of the underwriting arrangements. 
  
 SECTION 7. REGISTRATION EXPENSES 
  
 (a) All expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance
with this Agreement shall be borne by the Company, regardless of whether a Registration Statement becomes effective, including without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees and expenses; (ii) all fees and expenses of compliance with
federal securities and state Blue Sky or securities laws; (iii) all expenses of printing (including printing certificates for the Series B Notes to be issued in the Exchange Offer and printing of Prospectuses), messenger and delivery services and
telephone; (iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and, as set forth in Section 7(b) hereof, the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities; (v) all application and filing fees in
connection with listing the Series B Notes on a national securities exchange or automated quotation system pursuant to the requirements hereof; 
  

 15 

 and (vi) all fees and disbursements of independent certified public accountants of the Company (including the expenses of
any special audit and comfort letters required by or incident to such performance). 
  
 The Company shall, in any event, bear its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expenses of any annual
audit and the fees and expenses of any Person, including special experts, retained by the Company. 
  
 (b) In connection with any Registration Statement required by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and
the Shelf Registration Statement), the Company shall reimburse the Initial Purchaser and the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities who are tendering Series A Notes in the Exchange Offer and/or selling or reselling Series A Notes or Series B
Notes pursuant to the “Plan of Distribution” contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement, as applicable, for the reasonable fees and disbursements of not more than one counsel, who shall be
Latham & Watkins LLP unless another firm shall be chosen by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities for whose benefit such Registration Statement is being prepared. 
  
 (c) In connection with any Shelf Registration Statement required by this
Agreement, each Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions, and the fees of any counsel retained by or on behalf of the underwriters, and transfer taxes, if any, related to the sale or disposition of a Holder’s Transfer
Restricted Securities. 
  
 SECTION 8. INDEMNIFICATION 
  
 (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its
directors, officers and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments (including without
limitation, any legal fees or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any matter, including any action that could give rise to any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments) caused by any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus or Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) provided by the Company to any Holder or any prospective purchaser of Series B
Notes or registered Series A Notes, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as
such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments are caused by, arise out of, or are based on, an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission that is furnished in reliance on and in conformity with information relating
to any of the Holders furnished in writing to the Company by any of the Holders specifically for inclusion therein; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments
shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder, its directors, officers and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or judgment results from (x) an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of material fact in the preliminary 
  

 16 

 prospectus or (y) the omission or alleged omission to state in the preliminary prospectus a material fact necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, if: (1) the Company furnished sufficient copies of the final Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, within a reasonable amount of
time prior to such sale or the written confirmation of such sale in order to permit delivery of the final Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, to all Persons purchasing Transfer Restricted Securities (such Person, a
“Purchaser”) at or prior to the sale or written confirmation of the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities to such Person; (2) the Purchaser asserting such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments purchased Transfer
Restricted Securities and a copy of the final Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, was not sent or given by or on behalf of such Holder to the Purchaser, and (3) the final Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, would have cured the
defect giving rise to such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments. 
  
 (b) Each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors and officers, and each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company set forth in Section 8(a) hereof, but only with reference to information relating to such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such
Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus or Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto). In no event shall any Holder, its directors, officers or any Person who controls such Holder be liable or
responsible for any amount in excess of the total amount received by such Holder with respect to its sale of Transfer Restricted Securities giving rise to the indemnification obligation. 
  
 (c) In case any action shall be commenced involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to
Section 8(a) or 8(b) hereof (the “indemnified party”), the indemnified party shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying
party shall assume the defense of such action, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party and the payment of all fees and expenses of such counsel, as incurred (except that in the case of any action in
respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to both Sections 8(a) and 8(b) hereof, a Holder shall not be required to assume the defense of such action pursuant to this Section 8(c) hereof, but may employ separate counsel and participate in the
defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel, except as provided below, shall be at the expense of the Holder). Any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense
thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnified party unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been specifically authorized in writing by the indemnifying party and the indemnifying party has
agreed in writing to pay the fees and expenses of such counsel, (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such action or employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or (iii) the named parties to any
such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and the indemnified party shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are
different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party). In any such case, the indemnifying
party shall not, in connection with any one action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction 
  

 17 

 arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than
one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties and all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by a majority of the Holders, in the case
of the parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a) hereof, and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b) hereof. The indemnifying party shall indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party from and against any
and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments by reason of any settlement of any action effected with its written consent, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent
of the indemnified party, effect any settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action in respect of which the indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity or
contribution may be or could have been sought hereunder by the indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability on claims arising out of such action
and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the indemnified party. 
  
 (d) To the extent that the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or judgments referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or judgments (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand or (ii) if the allocation provided by Section 8(d)(i) hereof is
not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in Section 8(d)(i) hereof but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Holders, on the other hand,
in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Holders,
on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
Company, on the one hand, or by the Holders, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 
  
 The Company and each Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations
referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to
include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any matter, including any action that could have given rise to such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or judgments. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Holder, its directors, its officers or any Person, if any, who controls such Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in
excess of the amount by which the net profits received by such Holder 
  

 18 

 from the sale of the Series A Notes pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds the amount of any damages which such
Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(d) are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of Transfer Restricted
Securities held by each Holder hereunder and not joint. 
  
 SECTION 9. RULE
144A AND RULE 144 
  
 The Company agrees with each Holder,
for so long as any Transfer Restricted Securities remain outstanding and during any period in which the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, to make available, upon request of any Holder, to such Holder or beneficial
owner of Transfer Restricted Securities in connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of such Transfer Restricted Securities designated by such Holder or beneficial owner, the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Act
in order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 144A. 
  
 SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 (a) Remedies. The Company acknowledges and agrees that any failure by the Company to comply with its obligations under Sections 3 and 4 hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Initial Purchaser or the Holders for
which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Initial Purchaser or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to
specifically enforce the Company’s obligations under Sections 3 and 4 hereof. The Company further agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate. 
  
 (b) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company shall not, on or after the
date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The rights granted to the Holders
hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the Company’s securities under any agreement in effect on the date hereof. 
  
 (c) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not
be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless (i) in the case of Section 5 hereof and this Section 10(c)(i), the Company has obtained the written consent of Holders
of all outstanding Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) in the case of all other provisions hereof, the Company has obtained the written consent of Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities
(excluding Transfer Restricted Securities held by the Company or its Affiliates). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to departure from the provisions hereof that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders whose Transfer Restricted
Securities are being tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer, and that does not affect directly or indirectly the 
  

 19 

 rights of other Holders whose Transfer Restricted Securities are not being tendered pursuant to such Exchange Offer, may
be given by the Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities subject to such Exchange Offer. 
  
 (d) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, first-class mail
(registered or certified, return receipt requested), telex, telecopier, or air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery: 
  
 (i) if to a Holder, at the address set forth on the records of the Registrar under the Indenture, with a copy to the Registrar under the
Indenture;

 Exhibit 10.4 
  
 NETLOGIC MICROSYSTEMS, INC. 
 FORM 
 OF 
 INDEMNITY AGREEMENT 
  
 This Indemnification Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made as of April ___, 2004, by and between NetLogic Microsystems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and ____________
(“Indemnitee”). 
  
 RECITALS

  
 The Company and Indemnitee recognize the increasing
difficulty in obtaining liability insurance for directors, officers and key employees, the significant increases in the cost of such insurance and the general reductions in the coverage of such insurance. The Company and Indemnitee further recognize
the substantial increase in corporate litigation in general, subjecting directors, officers and key employees to expensive litigation risks at the same time as the availability and coverage of liability insurance has been severely limited.
Indemnitee does not regard the current protection available as adequate under the present circumstances, and Indemnitee and agents of the Company may not be willing to continue to serve as agents of the Company without additional protection. The
Company desires to attract and retain the services of highly qualified individuals, such as Indemnitee, and to indemnify its directors, officers and key employees so as to provide them with the maximum protection permitted by law. 
  
 AGREEMENT 
  
 In consideration of the mutual promises made in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of
which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and Indemnitee hereby agree as follows: 
  
 1. Certain Definitions; Construction of Phrases. 
  
 (a) “Change in Control” shall mean, and shall be deemed to have occurred if, on or after the date of this Agreement, (i) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company acting in such capacity or a corporation owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders
of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company, becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing
more than 40% of the total voting power represented by the then outstanding securities of the Company that vote generally at elections (“Voting Securities”), (ii) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at
the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors of the Company and any new director whose election by the Board of Directors or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds
of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof, or (iii) the stockholders
of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the Voting Securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent
(either by 

 
remaining outstanding or by being converted into Voting Securities of the surviving entity) at least 80% of the total voting power represented by the Voting
Securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by
the Company of (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. 
  
 (b) References to the “Company” shall include, in addition to the Company, any constituent corporation or entity (including any
constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger to which the Company (or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries) is a party which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its
directors, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries, so that if Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a
director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other enterprise, Indemnitee shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Agreement with respect to
the resulting or surviving corporation as Indemnitee would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. 
  
 (c) “Independent Legal Counsel” shall mean an attorney or firm of attorneys, selected in accordance with the provisions of Section
2(d) hereof, who shall not have otherwise performed services for the Company or Indemnitee within the last three years (other than with respect to matters concerning the rights of Indemnitee under this Agreement, or of other indemnitees under
similar indemnity agreements). 
  
 (d) For purposes of this
Agreement, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan;
and references to “serving at the request of the Company” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee
or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee
benefit plan, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Company” as referred to in this Agreement. 
  
 (e) “Reviewing Party” shall mean a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors who are not
parties to the particular claim (even if less than a quorum) for which Indemnitee is seeking indemnification, or Independent Legal Counsel. 
  
 2. Indemnification. 
  
 (a) Third Party Proceedings. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee if Indemnitee is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the Company, or any subsidiary of the Company, by reason of any action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee while an officer or director or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee 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, against expenses 

  

 2 

 
(including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by the Company, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld) and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or 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 Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Company, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. 
  
 (b) Proceedings By or in the Right of the Company. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee if Indemnitee was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or any subsidiary of the Company, by reason of any action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee while an officer or director or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee 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, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, judgments
and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), in each case to the extent actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action or suit if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Termination of any action, suit or proceeding by
judgment or settlement shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Company. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no indemnification under this Section 2(b) shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudicated by court order or judgment to be liable to the Company in the performance of
Indemnitee’s duty to the Company and its stockholders unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or proceeding is or was pending shall determine upon application that, in view of all the circumstances of the case,
Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall determine. 
  
 (c) Review of Indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the event the Reviewing Party shall have determined (in a written opinion, in
any case in which the Independent Legal Counsel referred to in Section 2(d) hereof is involved) that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under applicable law or that indemnification in the specific case is not appropriate because Indemnitee
has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 2(a) and 2(b), then the Company shall have no further obligation under Sections 2(a) and 2(b) (unless ordered by a court), and (ii) the obligation of the Company to make an advance
of expenses pursuant to Section 4(a) shall be subject to the condition that, if, when and to the extent that the Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be so indemnified under applicable law, the Company shall be
entitled to be reimbursed by Indemnitee (who hereby agrees to reimburse the Company) for all such amounts theretofore paid; provided, however, that if Indemnitee has commenced or thereafter commences legal proceedings in a court of competent
jurisdiction to secure a determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable law, any 

  

 3 

 
determination made by the Reviewing Party that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law shall not be binding and Indemnitee
shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any advance of expenses until a final judicial determination is made with respect thereto (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed). If there has not been a Change
in Control, the Reviewing Party shall be selected by the Board of Directors, and if there has been such a Change in Control, the Reviewing Party shall be the Independent Legal Counsel. If there has been no determination by the Reviewing Party or if
the Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee substantively would not be permitted to be indemnified in whole or in part under applicable law, Indemnitee shall have the right to commence litigation seeking an initial determination by the court or
challenging any such determination by the Reviewing Party or any aspect thereof, including the legal or factual bases therefor, and the Company hereby consents to service of process and to appear in any such proceeding. Absent such litigation, any
determination by the Reviewing Party shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and Indemnitee. 
  
 (d) Change in Control. The Company agrees that if there is a Change in Control of the Company, then, with respect to all matters arising prior to
the Change in Control, the rights of Indemnitee to payments of expenses and advances of expenses under this Agreement or any other agreement or under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws as now or hereafter in effect,
Independent Legal Counsel, if desired by Indemnitee, shall be selected by Indemnitee and approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). Such counsel, among other things, shall render its written opinion to the Company
and Indemnitee as to whether and to what extent Indemnitee would be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law and the Company agrees to abide by such opinion. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Legal Counsel
referred to above and to indemnify fully such counsel against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to pay expenses of more than one Independent Legal Counsel in connection with all matters concerning a single indemnitee, and such Independent Legal Counsel shall be the
Independent Legal Counsel for any or all other indemnitees unless (i) the Company otherwise determines or (ii) any indemnitee shall provide a written statement setting forth in detail a reasonable objection to such Independent Legal Counsel
representing other indemnitees. 
  
 (e) Mandatory Payment of
Expenses. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 2, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) or the
defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection therewith. 
  
 (f) Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly
Successful. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent that Indemnitee is a party to (or a participant in) and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any
threatened, pending or completed action or suit or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, in whole or in part, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith. If
Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such proceeding, the Company also shall indemnify Indemnitee against all
expenses 

  

 4 

 
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with a claim, issue or matter related to any claim, issue or matter on which Indemnitee was successful. For
purposes of this Section and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter. 
  
 (g) Indemnification For Expenses of a Witness. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or any subsidiary of
the Company, a witness in any proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, he shall be indemnified against all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith. 
  
 3. No Employment Rights. Nothing contained in this Agreement is
intended to create in Indemnitee any right to continued employment. 
  
 4. Expenses; Indemnification Procedure. 
  
 (a)
Advancement of Expenses. Except as otherwise determined pursuant to Section 2(c), the Company shall advance all expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of any civil or criminal
action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) (including judgments and amounts actually paid in settlement of any such action, suit or proceeding) and such advancement shall be made within 30 days after the receipt by the
Company of a statement or statements requesting such advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of any proceeding. Advances shall be unsecured and interest free. Advances shall be made without regard to Indemnitee’s
ability to repay the expenses and without regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification under the other provisions of this Agreement. Advances shall include any and all reasonable expenses incurred pursuing an action to enforce
this right of advancement, including expenses incurred preparing and forwarding statements to the Company to support the advances claimed. Indemnitee shall qualify for advances upon the execution and delivery to the Company of this Agreement, which
shall constitute an undertaking providing that Indemnitee undertakes to repay the advance to the extent that it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay such
amounts advanced only if, and to the extent that, it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized hereby. 
  
 (b) Notice/Cooperation by Indemnitee. Indemnitee shall, as a condition precedent to his or her 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. Notice to the Company shall be directed to the
Chief Financial Officer of the Company and to the Secretary of the Company (if a different person) and shall be given in accordance with the provisions of Section 11(d) below. In addition, Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and
cooperation as it may reasonably require and as shall be within Indemnitee’s power. 
  
 (c) Procedure. If a claim under this Agreement, under any statute, or under any provision of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws providing for indemnification, is not paid in full by the
Company within 30 days after a written request for payment thereof has first been received by the Company, Indemnitee may, but need not, at any time thereafter bring an action 

  

 5 

 
against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, subject to Section 10 of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid for
the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of bringing such action. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding in advance of
its final disposition) that Indemnitee has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under applicable law for the Company to indemnify Indemnitee for the amount claimed. 
  
 (d) Notice of Insurers. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof, the
Company has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall
thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies. 
  
 (e) Selection of Counsel. In the event the Company shall be obligated under Section 4(a) hereof to pay the expenses
of any proceeding against Indemnitee, the Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of such proceeding, with counsel reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee, upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election so to do. 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 other counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee
with respect to the same proceeding, provided that Indemnitee shall have the right to employ additional counsel in any such proceeding at the Company’s expense if: (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized by
the Company, (ii) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there is a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense or (iii) the Company shall not, in fact, have employed counsel to assume the
defense of such proceeding. 
  
 5. Presumptions and Effect of
Certain Proceedings. 
  
 (a) Presumptions. In making a
determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request
for indemnification in accordance with Section 4(b) of this Agreement. It is the parties’ intention that, if the Company contests Indemnitee’s right to indemnification, the question of Indemnitee’s right to indemnification shall be
for the court to decide, and neither the failure of the Company (including by its directors or Independent Legal Counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper
in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company (including by its directors or Independent Legal Counsel) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct,
shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct. 
  
 (b) Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification. The person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 2(c) of this Agreement to
determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall make such determination within 60 days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor, provided, however, that such 60-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to
exceed an additional 30 days, if the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires such additional time for obtaining or evaluating of documentation and/or information
relating thereto. 
  

 6 

 (c) Effect of Certain Proceedings. The termination of any threatened or pending action, suit or
proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself
adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which 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. 
  
 (d) Reliance as Safe Harbor. 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, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of the Company in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal
counsel for the Company or on information or records given or reports made to the Company by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Company. The provisions of this Section
5(d) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement. 
  
 6. Additional Indemnification Rights; Nonexclusivity. 
  
 (a) Scope. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Company hereby agrees to indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law, notwithstanding that such indemnification is not specifically authorized by the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company’s Certificate of
Incorporation, the Company’s Bylaws or by statute. In the event of any change, after the date of this Agreement, in any applicable law, statute, or rule which expands the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its board of
directors or an officer, such changes shall be deemed to be within the purview of Indemnitee’s rights and the Company’s obligations under this Agreement. In the event of any change in any applicable law, statute or rule which narrows the
right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its board of directors or an officer, such changes, to the extent not otherwise required by such law, statute or rule to be applied to this Agreement shall have no effect on this Agreement or
the parties’ rights and obligations hereunder. 
  
 (b)
Nonexclusivity. The indemnification provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any additional rights to indemnification to which Indemnitee may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, its Bylaws,
any agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested members of the Company’s Board of Directors, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or otherwise, both as to action in Indemnitee’s official capacity and as to action
in another capacity while holding such office. The indemnification provided under this Agreement shall continue as to Indemnitee for any action taken or not taken while serving in an indemnified capacity even though he or she may have ceased to
serve in any such capacity at the time of any action, suit or other covered proceeding. 
  
 7. Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the expenses, judgments, fines or penalties actually or
reasonably incurred in the investigation, defense, appeal or settlement of any civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the 

  

 7 

 
Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such expenses, judgments, fines or penalties to which Indemnitee is entitled. 

 
 8. Mutual Acknowledgment. Both the Company and Indemnitee
acknowledge that in certain instances, federal law or public policy may override applicable state law and prohibit the Company from indemnifying its directors and officers under this Agreement or otherwise. For example, the Company and Indemnitee
acknowledge that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has taken the position that indemnification is not permissible for liabilities arising under certain federal securities laws, and federal legislation
prohibits indemnification for certain ERISA violations. 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. 
  
 9. Severability. 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 court order, to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable as provided in
this Section 9. If this Agreement or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of
this Agreement that shall not have been invalidated, and the balance of this Agreement not so invalidated shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms. 
  
 10. Exceptions. Any other provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement: 
  
 (a) Claims Initiated by Indemnitee. To
indemnify or advance expenses to Indemnitee with respect to proceedings or claims initiated or brought voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by way of defense, except with respect to proceedings brought to establish or enforce any right under this
Agreement, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or any other statute or law, but such indemnification or advancement of expenses may be provided by the Company in specific cases if the Board of Directors finds it to be
appropriate; 
  
 (b) Lack of Good Faith. To indemnify
Indemnitee for any expenses incurred by Indemnitee with respect to any proceeding instituted by Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions made by
Indemnitee in such proceeding was not made in good faith or was frivolous; 
  
 (c) Insured Claims. To indemnify Indemnitee for expenses or liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement)
to the extent such expenses or liabilities have been paid directly to Indemnitee by an insurance carrier under a policy of officers’ and directors’ liability insurance maintained by the Company; or 
  
 (d) Non-Indemnifiable Claims. To indemnify Indemnitee for the amount
of any claim for indemnity under this Agreement for which the Company is not permitted to provide indemnity under applicable law. 
  

 8 

 11. Miscellaneous. 
  
 (a) Applicable Law and Consent to Jurisdiction. 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 Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflict of law. The Company and Indemnitee hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally (i) agree that any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought only in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Court”), and not in any other
state or federal court in the United States of America or any court in any other country, (ii) consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court for purposes of any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this
Agreement, (iii) appoint, to the extent such party is not otherwise subject to service of process in the state of Delaware, Corporation Service Company, 2711 Centerville Road, Suite 400, Wilmington, Delaware 19808, as its agent in the state of
Delaware as such party’s agent for acceptance of legal process in connection with any such action or proceeding against such party with the same legal force and validity as if served upon such party personally within the state of Delaware, (iv)
waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in the Delaware Court, and (v) waive, and agree not to plead or to make, any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in the Delaware Court has been brought in an
improper or inconvenient forum. 
  
 (b) Entire Agreement;
Enforcement of Rights. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied,
between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and applicable law, and shall not be
deemed a substitute thereunder, not to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the
parties to this Agreement. The failure by either party to enforce any rights under this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any rights of such party. 
  
 (c) Construction. This Agreement is the result of negotiations between and has been reviewed by each of the parties
hereto and their respective counsel, if any; accordingly, this Agreement shall be deemed to be the product of all of the parties hereto, and no ambiguity shall be construed in favor of or against any one of the parties hereto. 
  
 (d) Notices. Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to be
given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficient when delivered personally or sent by confirmed facsimile or 24 hours after being deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier or 48 hours after being deposited
in the U.S. mail, as certified or registered mail, with postage prepaid, and addressed to the party to be notified at such party’s address or facsimile number as set forth below or as subsequently modified by written notice. 
  
 (e) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, and delivery of a signed counterpart by facsimile transmission will constitute due execution and delivery of this Agreement. 
  

 9 

 (f) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its successors
and assigns, and inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s heirs and legal representatives. 
  
 (g) Subrogation. In the event of payment 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 documents required and shall do all acts that may be necessary to secure such rights and to enable the Company to effectively bring suit to enforce such rights. 
  
 (h) Duration of Agreement. The indemnification provided under this
Agreement shall continue as to Indemnitee for any action taken or not taken while serving in an indemnified capacity even though the Indemnity may have ceased to serve in such capacity at the time of any proceeding described under either Section
2(a) or 2(b). 
  
 (i) Enforcement. The Company expressly
confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as a director or officer of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon
this Agreement in serving as a director or officer of the Company. 
  
 (j) 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 Company, 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 Company 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 Company (and its directors, officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s) and/or transaction(s). 
  
 The parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the day and year set
forth on the first page of this Agreement.
