(c) Undersigned acknowledges and understands that the ME2C Stock being acquired by the Undersigned pursuant to the Amendment is being acquired for investment purposes and not with a view to distribution or resale, nor with the intention of selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of all or any part of the ME2C Stock, except selling, transferring, or disposing of the ME2C Stock made in full compliance with all applicable provisions of the Act, the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, applicable state securities laws; and that the ME2C Stock is not a liquid investment.

(h) Undersigned acknowledges that Undersigned has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that Undersigned is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the ME2C Stock.

 

(i) Undersigned represents that Undersigned has not received any general solicitation or general advertising regarding the issuance of the ME2C Stock.

 

(j) Undersigned further represents that the U.S. social security number or U.S. taxpayer identification set forth below is correct.

 

II. Covenants of ME2C

Exhibit 10.02

 

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

 

THIS INDEMNIFICATION
AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of January 21, 2011 between Corindus, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Gerard Winkels (“Indemnitee”).

 

WITNESSETH THAT:

 

WHEREAS, highly
competent persons have become more reluctant to serve corporations as directors or in other capacities unless they are provided
with adequate protection through insurance or adequate indemnification against inordinate risks of claims and actions against them
arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of the corporation;

 

WHEREAS, the Board
of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that, in order to attract and retain qualified individuals,
the Company will attempt to maintain on an ongoing basis, at its sole expense, liability insurance to protect persons serving the
Company and its subsidiaries from certain liabilities. Although the furnishing of such insurance has been a customary and widespread
practice among United States-based corporations and other business enterprises, the Company believes that, given current market
conditions and trends, such insurance may be available to it in the future only at higher premiums and with more exclusions. At
the same time, directors, officers, and other persons in service to corporations or business enterprises are being increasingly
subjected to expensive and time-consuming litigation relating to, among other things, matters that traditionally would have been
brought only against the Company or business enterprise itself. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate
of Incorporation”) of the Company requires indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company. Indemnitee may
also be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”).
The Certificate of Incorporation and the DGCL expressly provide that the indemnification provisions set forth therein are not exclusive,
and thereby contemplate that contracts may be entered into between the Company and members of the Board, officers and other persons
with respect to indemnification;

 

WHEREAS, the uncertainties relating to
such insurance and to indemnification have increased the difficulty of attracting and retaining such persons;

 

WHEREAS, the Board
has determined that the increased difficulty in attracting and retaining such persons is detrimental to the best interests of the
Company’s stockholders and that the Company should act to assure such persons that there will be increased certainty of such protection
in the future;

 

WHEREAS, it is reasonable,
prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such
persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue
concern that they will not be so indemnified;

 

WHEREAS, this Agreement
is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto,
and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder; and

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

WHEREAS, Indemnitee
does not regard the protection available under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and insurance as adequate in the present
circumstances, and may not be willing to serve as an officer or director without adequate protection, and the Company desires Indemnitee
to serve in such capacity. Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve and to take on additional service for or on behalf
of the Company on the condition that he be so indemnified; and

 

WHEREAS, Indemnitee
has certain rights to indemnification and/or insurance provided by Philips International B.V. (the “Sponsor”)
which Indemnitee and the Sponsor intend to be secondary to the primary obligation of the Company to indemnify Indemnitee as provided
herein, with the Company’s acknowledgement and agreement to the foregoing being a material condition to Indemnitee’s
willingness to serve on the Board.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Indemnitee’s
agreement to serve as a director from and after the date hereof, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.          Indemnity
of Indemnitee. The Company hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law,
as such may be amended from time to time. In furtherance of the foregoing indemnification, and without limiting the generality
thereof:

 

(a)         Proceedings
Other Than Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided
in this Section l(a) if, by reason of his Corporate Status (as hereinafter defined), Indemnitee is, or is threatened to
be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding (as hereinafter defined) other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the
Company. Pursuant to this Section 1(a), Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses (as hereinafter defined),
judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him, or on his behalf, in connection
with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

 

(b)         Proceedings
by or in the Right of the Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section
1(b) if, by reason of his Corporate Status, Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding
brought by or in the right of the Company. Pursuant to this Section 1(b), Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee, or on Indemnitee’s behalf, in connection with such Proceeding if Indemnitee
acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company;
provided, however, if applicable law so provides, no indemnification against such Expenses shall be made in respect of any claim,
issue or matter in such Proceeding as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and to the
extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall determine that such indemnification may be made.

 

    	2

    	 

    

 

(c)         Indemnification
for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the
extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his Corporate Status, a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any
Proceeding, he shall be indemnified to the maximum extent permitted by law, as such may be amended from time to time, against
all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf 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. 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.

 

(d)         Indemnification
of Appointing Stockholder. If (i) Indemnitee is or was affiliated with one or more stockholders that has invested in the Company
(an “Appointing Stockholder”), (ii) the Appointing Stockholder is, or is threatened to be made, a party to
or a participant in any Proceeding, and (iii) the Appointing Stockholder’s involvement in the Proceeding results from any
claim based on Indemnitee’s service to the Company as a director or other fiduciary of the Company, the Appointing Stockholder
will be entitled to indemnification hereunder for Expenses to the same extent as Indemnitee, and the terms of this Agreement as
they relate to procedures for indemnification of Indemnitee and advancement of Expenses shall apply to any such indemnification
of Appointing Stockholder.

 

2.          Additional
Indemnity. In addition to, and without regard to any limitations on, the indemnification provided for in Section 1
of this Agreement, the Company shall and hereby does indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee against all Expenses, judgments, penalties,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf if, by reason of his Corporate Status,
he is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding (including a Proceeding by or in the right of
the Company), including, without limitation, all liability arising out of the negligence or active or passive wrongdoing of Indemnitee.
The only limitation that shall exist upon the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement shall be that the Company
shall not be obligated to make any payment to Indemnitee that is finally determined (under the procedures, and subject to the
presumptions, set forth in Sections 6 and 7 hereof) to be unlawful.

 

 3.          Contribution.

 

(a)         Whether
or not the indemnification provided in Sections 1 and 2 hereof is available, in respect of any threatened, pending
or completed action, suit or proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such
action, suit or proceeding), the Company shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount of any judgment or settlement of
such action, suit or proceeding without requiring Indemnitee to contribute to such payment and the Company hereby waives and relinquishes
any right of contribution it may have against Indemnitee. The Company shall not enter into any settlement of any action, suit
or proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding)
unless such settlement provides for a full and final release of all claims asserted against Indemnitee.

 

    	3

    	 

    

 

(b)         Without
diminishing or impairing the obligations of the Company set forth in the preceding subparagraph, if, for any reason, Indemnitee
shall elect or be required to pay all or any portion of any judgment or settlement in any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding),
the Company shall contribute to the amount of Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred and paid or payable by Indemnitee in proportion to the relative benefits received by the Company and all officers, directors
or employees of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action,
suit or proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, from the transaction or events from which such action,
suit or proceeding arose; provided, however, that the proportion determined on the basis of relative benefit may, to the extent
necessary to conform to law, be further adjusted by reference to the relative fault of the Company and all officers, directors
or employees of the Company other than Indemnitee who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action,
suit or proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, in connection with the transaction or events that resulted
in such expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts, as well as any other equitable considerations which applicable law may
require to be considered. The relative fault of the Company and all officers, directors or employees of the Company, other than
Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), on the one hand,
and Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the degree to which their actions were
motivated by intent to gain personal profit or advantage, the degree to which their liability is primary or secondary and the degree
to which their conduct is active or passive.

 

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

 

(d)         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).

 

4.          Indemnification
for Expenses of a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason
of his Corporate Status, a witness, or is made (or asked) to respond to discovery requests, 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.

 

    	4

    	 

    

 

5.          Advancement
of Expenses. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall advance all Expenses incurred by or
on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status within thirty (30)
days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time
to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence
the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall include or be preceded or accompanied by a written undertaking by or on behalf of
Indemnitee to repay any Expenses advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified
against such Expenses. Any advances and undertakings to repay pursuant to this Section 5 shall be unsecured and interest
free.

 

6.          Procedures
and Presumptions for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification. It is the intent of this Agreement to secure for Indemnitee
rights of indemnity that are as favorable as may be permitted under the DGCL and public policy of the State of Delaware. Accordingly,
the parties agree that the following procedures and presumptions shall apply in the event of any question as to whether Indemnitee
is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement:

 

(a)         To obtain
indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including therein or therewith
such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and
to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request
for indemnification, advise the Board in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any failure of Indemnitee to provide such a request to the Company, or to provide such a request in a timely fashion, shall not
relieve the Company of any liability that it may have to Indemnitee unless, and to the extent that, such failure actually and materially
prejudices the interests of the Company.

 

(b)         Upon
written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of Section 6(a) hereof, a determination
with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case by one of the following four methods,
which shall be at the election of the Board: (1) by a majority vote of the disinterested directors, even though less than a quorum,
(2) by a committee of disinterested directors designated by a majority vote of the disinterested directors, even though less than
a quorum, (3) if there are no disinterested directors or if the disinterested directors so direct, by independent legal counsel
in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee, or (4) if so directed by the Board, by the
stockholders of the Company. For purposes hereof, disinterested directors are those members of the Board who are not parties to
the action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought by Indemnitee.

 

    	5

    	 

    

 

(c)         If
the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof,
the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 6(c). The Independent Counsel shall be selected by
the Board. Indemnitee may, within 10 days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company
a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent
Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 13
of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and
timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If a written objection is made and substantiated, the
Independent Counsel selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has
determined that such objection is without merit. If, within 20 days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification
pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Company
or Indemnitee may petition the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or other court of competent jurisdiction for resolution
of any objection which shall have been made by Indemnitee to the Company’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the
appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall designate, and
the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under
Section 6(b) hereof. The Company shall pay any and all reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel incurred by
such Independent Counsel in connection with acting pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof, and the Company shall pay all reasonable
fees and expenses incident to the procedures of this Section 6(c), regardless of the manner in which such Independent Counsel
was selected or appointed.

 

(d)         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. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the
burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence. 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.

 

(e)         Indemnitee
shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Enterprise
(as hereinafter defined), including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of the Enterprise
in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise or on information or records given or reports
made to the Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable
care by the Enterprise. In addition, the knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee
of the Enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.
Whether or not the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(e) are satisfied, it shall in any event be presumed that Indemnitee
has at all times acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and
convincing evidence.

 

    	6

    	 

    

 

(f)         If
the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 6 to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification
shall not have made a determination within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor, the requisite
determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification
absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s
statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification
under applicable law; provided, however, that such 60-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional
thirty (30) days, if the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in
good faith requires such additional time to obtain or evaluate documentation and/or information relating thereto; and provided,
further, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(g) shall not apply if the determination of entitlement to indemnification
is to be made by the stockholders pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement and if (A) within fifteen (15) days after
receipt by the Company of the request for such determination, the Board or the Disinterested Directors, if appropriate, resolve
to submit such determination to the stockholders for their consideration at an annual meeting thereof to be held within seventy-five
(75) days after such receipt and such determination is made thereat, or (B) a special meeting of stockholders is called within
fifteen (15) days after such receipt for the purpose of making such determination, such meeting is held for such purpose within
sixty (60) days after having been so called and such determination is made thereat.

 

(g)         Indemnitee shall cooperate
with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification,
including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is
not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary
to such determination. Any Independent Counsel, member of the Board or stockholder of the Company shall act reasonably and in
good faith in making a determination regarding Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement. Any costs
or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons
or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s
entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.

 

(h)         The Company acknowledges
that a settlement or other disposition short of final judgment may be successful if it permits a party to avoid expense, delay,
distraction, disruption and uncertainty. In the event that any action, claim or proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party is resolved
in any manner other than by adverse judgment against Indemnitee (including, without limitation, settlement of such action, claim
or proceeding with or without payment of money or other consideration) it shall be presumed that Indemnitee has been successful
on the merits or otherwise in such action, suit or proceeding. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden
of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence.

 

(i)         The
termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon
a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself
adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith
and in a manner which 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.

 

    	7

    	 

    

 

 7.          Remedies of Indemnitee.

 

(a)         In
the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification
under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement, (iii) no
determination of entitlement to indemnification is made pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement within 90 days after
receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to this Agreement
within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor or (v) payment of indemnification is not made
within ten (10) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or such determination
is deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication in
an appropriate court of the State of Delaware, or in any other court of competent jurisdiction, of Indemnitee’s entitlement
to such indemnification. Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding seeking an adjudication within 180 days following the date
on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 7(a). The Company shall not
oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication.

 

(b)         In
the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled
to indemnification, any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 7 shall be conducted in all respects as
a de novo trial on the merits, and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of the adverse determination under Section
6(b).

 

(c)         If
a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification,
the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 7, absent
(i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s misstatement
not materially misleading in connection with the application for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification
under applicable law.

 

(d)         In
the event that Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 7, seeks a judicial adjudication of his rights under, or to recover
damages for breach of, this Agreement, or to recover under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies
maintained by the Company, the Company shall pay on his behalf, in advance, any and all expenses (of the types described in the
definition of Expenses in Section 13 of this Agreement) actually and reasonably incurred by him in such judicial adjudication,
regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance
recovery.

 

    	8

    	 

    

 

(e)         The
Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 7 that the
procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court
that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all
Expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a written request
therefore) advance, to the extent not prohibited by law, such expenses to Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in
connection with any action brought by Indemnitee for indemnification or advance of Expenses from the Company under this
Agreement or under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company,
regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advancement of Expenses or
insurance recovery, as the case may be.

 

(f)         Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no determination as to entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement shall be
required to be made prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding.

 

8.          Non-Exclusivity;
Survival of Rights; Insurance; Primacy of Indemnification; Subrogation.

 

(a)         The rights
of indemnification as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any
time be entitled under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, the By-laws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders, a
resolution of directors of the Company, or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision
hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee
in his Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in the DGCL, whether by statute
or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification than would be afforded currently under the Certificate of Incorporation,
By-laws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits
so afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every
other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not
prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.

 

(b)         To the extent
that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, officers, employees, or
agents or fiduciaries of the Company or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise that such person serves at the request of the Company, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance
with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary
under such policy or policies. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company
has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding
to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary
or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding
in accordance with the terms of such policies.

 

    	9

    	 

    

 

(c)         The Company
hereby acknowledges that Indemnitee has certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by
the Sponsor and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the “Sponsor Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees
(i) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Sponsor
Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by Indemnitee are secondary),
(ii) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount
of all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by
the terms of this Agreement and the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company (or any other agreement between the Company
and Indemnitee), without regard to any rights Indemnitee may have against the Sponsor Indemnitors, and, (iii) that it irrevocably
waives, relinquishes and releases the Sponsor Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Sponsor Indemnitors for contribution,
subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by
the Sponsor Indemnitors on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee has sought indemnification from
the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Sponsor Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the
extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee against the Company. The Company and Indemnitee
agree that the Sponsor Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 8(c).

 

(d)         Except as
provided in paragraph (c) above, in the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent
of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee (other than against the Sponsor Indemnitors), who shall execute
all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary
to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.

 

(e)         Except as
provided in paragraph (c) above, the Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise
indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy,
contract, agreement or otherwise.

 

(f)         Except as
provided in paragraph (c) above, the Company’s obligation to indemnify or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was
serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification
or advancement of expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise.

 

9.          Exception
to Right of Indemnification. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated under this
Agreement to make any indemnity in connection with any claim made against Indemnitee:

 

    	10

    	 

    

 

(a)         for which payment has actually
been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, except with respect to any excess
beyond the amount paid under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, provided, that the foregoing shall not affect the
rights of Indemnitee or the Sponsor Indemnitors set forth in Section 8(c) above; or

 

(b)         for
an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within
the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or similar provisions of state statutory
law or common law; or

 

(c)         in connection
with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding)
initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Board authorized
the Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) prior to its initiation or (ii) the Company provides the indemnification, in its
sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law.

 

10.         Duration
of Agreement. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period Indemnitee is
an officer or director of the Company (or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) and shall continue thereafter so long as
Indemnitee shall be subject to any Proceeding (or any proceeding commenced under Section 7 hereof) by reason of his Corporate
Status, whether or not he is acting or serving in any such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which
indemnification can be provided under this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger,
consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company), assigns, spouses, heirs, executors
and personal and legal representatives.

 

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

 

12.         Enforcement.

 

(a)         The Company
expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumes the obligations imposed on it hereby in order
to induce Indemnitee to serve as an officer or director of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying
upon this Agreement in serving as an officer or director of the Company.

 

(b)         This Agreement
constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior
agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

 

    	11

    	 

    

 

(c)         The Company
shall not seek from a court, or agree to, a “bar order” which would have the effect of prohibiting or limiting Indemnitee’s
rights to receive advancement of expenses under this Agreement.

 

13.         Definitions.
For purposes of this Agreement:

 

(a)         “Corporate
Status” describes the status of a person who is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company
or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise that such person is or
was serving at the express written request of the Company.

 

(b)         “Disinterested
Director” means a director of the Company who is not and was not a party to the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification
is sought by Indemnitee.

 

(c)         “Enterprise”
shall mean the Company and any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise
that Indemnitee is or was serving at the express written request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary.

 

(d)         “Expenses”
shall include all reasonable attorneys’ fees, retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel
expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees and all other disbursements
or expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating,
participating, or being or preparing to be a witness in a Proceeding, or responding to, or objecting to, a request to provide discovery
in any Proceeding. Expenses also shall include Expenses incurred in connection with any appeal resulting from any Proceeding and
any federal, state, local or foreign taxes imposed on Indemnitee as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under
this Agreement, including without limitation the premium, security for, and other costs relating to any cost bond, supersede as
bond, or other appeal bond or its equivalent. Expenses, however, shall not include amounts paid in settlement by Indemnitee or
the amount of judgments or fines against Indemnitee.

 

(e)         “Independent
Counsel” means a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that is experienced in matters of corporation law and neither presently
is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent: (i) the Company or Indemnitee in any matter material to either
such party (other than with respect to matters concerning Indemnitee under this Agreement, or of other indemnitees under similar
indemnification agreements), or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional
conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine
Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Counsel referred
to above and to fully indemnify such counsel against any and all Expenses, claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating
to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto.

 

    	12

    	 

    

 

(f)         “Proceeding”
includes any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation,
inquiry, administrative hearing or any other actual, threatened or completed proceeding, whether brought by or in the right of
the Company or otherwise and whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which Indemnitee was, is or will be
involved as a party or otherwise, by reason of his or her Corporate Status, by reason of any action taken by him or of any inaction
on his part while acting in his or her Corporate Status; in each case whether or not he is acting or serving in any such capacity
at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification can be provided under this Agreement; including one
pending on or before the date of this Agreement, but excluding one initiated by an Indemnitee pursuant to Section 7 of
this Agreement to enforce his rights under this Agreement.

 

14.         Severability.
The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other
provision. Further, the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof as to either Indemitee or Appointing Stockholder
shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any provision hereof as to the other. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, this Agreement is intended to confer upon Indemnitee and Appointing Stockholder indemnification rights to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable laws. In the event any provision hereof conflicts with any applicable law, such provision
shall be deemed modified, consistent with the aforementioned intent, to the extent necessary to resolve such conflict.

 

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

 

16.         Notice
By Indemnitee. Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the Company in writing upon being served with or otherwise receiving any
summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may
be subject to indemnification covered hereunder. The failure to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of any obligation
which it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise unless and only to the extent that such failure or delay materially
prejudices the Company.

 

17.         Notices.
All notices and other communications given or made pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively
given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed electronic mail or facsimile if sent
during normal business hours of the recipient, and if not so confirmed, then on the next business day, (c) five (5) days after
having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one (1) day after deposit

18.         Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together
shall constitute one and the same Agreement. This Agreement may also be executed and delivered by facsimile signature and in two

19.         Headings.
The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part
of this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.

 

20.         Governing
Law and Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and the legal relations among the parties shall be governed by, and construed
and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. 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”),
