 AMENDMENT NO. 1 
  
 AMENDMENT NO. 1 (this “Amendment No. 1”) dated as of February 1, 2005 to the Revolving Credit Agreement referred to below, between CHART
INDUSTRIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”); each of the Subsidiaries of the Borrower identified under the caption “SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS” on the signature pages hereto (individually, a “Subsidiary
Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors” and, together with the Borrower, the “Obligors”); and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A. (formerly known as JPMorgan Chase Bank), as administrative agent for
the Lenders (in such capacity, together with its successors in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”). 
  
 The Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors, each of the lenders party thereto and the Administrative Agent are parties to an Amended and Restated Revolving
Credit Agreement dated as of September 15, 2003 (as heretofore modified and supplemented and in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment No. 1, the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), providing, subject to the
terms and conditions thereof, for loans and other extensions of credit to be made by said lenders to the Borrower in an aggregate principal or face amount as specified therein. The Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent wish to amend the Revolving Credit Agreement in certain respects, and accordingly, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 
  
 Section 1. Definitions. Except as otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 1, terms defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement are used herein as
defined therein. 
  
 Section 2. Amendments. Subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified in Section 4, but effective as of the date hereof, the Revolving Credit Agreement shall be amended as follows: 
  
 2.01. General References. References in the Revolving Credit Agreement (including references to the Revolving Credit
Agreement as amended hereby) to “this Agreement” (and indirect references such as “hereunder”, “hereby”, “herein” and “hereof”) shall be deemed to be references to the Revolving Credit Agreement as
amended hereby. 
  
 2.02. Certain Financial Covenants.
Section 7.09(e) of the Revolving Credit Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows: 
  
 “(e) Capital Expenditures. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, make any Capital
Expenditures, except that during any fiscal year of the Borrower set forth below, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may make Capital Expenditures so long as the aggregate amount of all such Capital Expenditures does not exceed in any fiscal year of
the Borrower set forth below the amount set forth opposite such fiscal year below:

 Amendment No.1

 In addition to the foregoing, in the event that the amount of Capital Expenditures
permitted to be made by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries pursuant to the table above in any fiscal year of the Borrower (before giving effect to any increase in such permitted Capital Expenditure amount pursuant to this paragraph) is greater than
the amount of Capital Expenditures actually made by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries during such fiscal year, 100% of such excess may be carried forward and utilized to make Capital Expenditures in the succeeding fiscal years, provided that
no amounts expended in any fiscal year shall exceed 150% of the amount set forth above for such fiscal year. 
  
 In addition to the foregoing, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may make Capital Expenditures (x) with the amount of (i) Net Cash Proceeds
received by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries from any Disposition or Casualty Event so long as such Net Cash Proceeds are reinvested or are used to replace or restore any properties or assets in respect of which such Net Cash Proceeds were
paid or (ii) Net Cash Proceeds received by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries from any Equity Issuance or (y) as tenant under any lease in respect of leasehold improvements to the extent such expenditures are reimbursed by the landlord under
the related lease or sale leaseback transaction, but in the case of clause (i) above only to the extent that such Net Cash Proceeds are not otherwise required to be applied to a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.09(b) or the corresponding provision
of the Term Loan Agreement.” 
  
 Section 3. Waivers.
Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5 hereof, the Required Lenders hereby waive any Default or Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing as of the effective date of this Amendment No. 1, arising
out of the failure of the Borrower to notify the Administrative Agent of the acquisition of the leasehold property located at 1800 Sandy Plains Parkway, Suite 316, Marietta, GA 30066 within 30 days of such acquisition pursuant to the third paragraph
of Section 6.09(b) of the Revolving Credit Agreement prior to the effective date of this Amendment No. 1.

the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV of the Revolving Credit Agreement are true and complete on the date hereof as if made on and as of the date hereof and as if each reference in said Article IV to “this Agreement”
included reference to this Amendment No. 1 (or if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date) and (b) (except as provided in Section 3 hereof) immediately before and
after giving effect to the amendments set forth in Section 2 of this Amendment No. 1, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 
  
 Amendment No.1

 Section 5. Conditions Precedent. The amendments set forth in Section 2 of this Amendment No. 1
shall become effective as of the date hereof upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of one or more counterparts of this Amendment No. 1 executed by each of the Obligors and the Administrative Agent (with the written consent of the Required Lenders
provided in the form of the Lender Consent attached as Annex 1 to this Amendment No. 1). 
  
 Section 6. Ratification of Obligations, Etc. By its execution of this Amendment No. 1, each of the Obligors (a) ratifies and reaffirms in all respects its obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement and
the other Credit Documents to which it is a party, and confirms that each such agreement to which it is a party is valid and enforceable against such Obligor and (b) agrees that there are no oral agreements or understandings among such Obligor and
the Administrative Agent or any Lender relating to this Amendment No. 1, the Revolving Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document. 
  
 Section 7. Miscellaneous. Except as herein provided, the Revolving Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect and nothing
herein shall constitute a waiver of, or any agreement to provide a waiver of, any existing or future Default. The Borrower shall pay all reasonable expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent (including the reasonable fees, charges and
disbursements of Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP, special New York counsel to JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A.) in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Amendment No. 1. Except as herein provided, the Revolving
Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect. This Amendment No. 1 may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same amendatory instrument and any of the parties
hereto may execute this Amendment No. 1 by signing any such counterpart. This Amendment No. 1 shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

 Amendment No.1Form of Indemnification Agreement

 EXHIBIT 10.10 
  
 CHART INDUSTRIES, INC. 
  
 FORM OF INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into effective as of the
     day of         , 20     by and between CHART INDUSTRIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), and
                 (“Indemnitee”),              of the Corporation. 
  
 WHEREAS, it is essential to the Corporation to retain and attract as
Directors and/or Officers the most capable persons available such as Indemnitee; and 
  
 WHEREAS, the prevalence of corporate litigation subjects directors and officers to expensive litigation risks and it is the policy of the Corporation to indemnify its Directors and/or Officers so as to provide them
with the maximum possible protection permitted by law; and 
  
 WHEREAS, in addition, because the statutory indemnification provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) expressly provide that such statutory indemnification provisions are non-exclusive, it is the policy of
the Corporation to indemnify its Directors and Officers who, on behalf of the Corporation, have entered into settlements of derivative suits provided they have not breached the applicable statutory standard of conduct; and 
  
 WHEREAS, Indemnitee does not regard the protection available under the
Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate”), By-laws (the “By-laws”), and insurance, if any, as adequate in the present circumstances, and considers it necessary and desirable to his or her service as a
Director and/or Officer to have adequate protection, and the Corporation desires to provide such protection to induce Indemnitee to serve in such capacity; and 
  

WHEREAS, the DGCL provides that indemnification of directors and officers of a corporation may be authorized by agreement, and thereby contemplates
that contracts of this nature may be entered into between the Corporation and Indemnitee. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the Corporation and Indemnitee do hereby agree as follows: 
  
 1. Agreement to Serve. Indemnitee agrees to serve or continue to
serve as a Director and/or Officer of the Corporation for so long as he or she is duly elected or appointed or until such time as he or she tenders his or her resignation in writing or is otherwise terminated or properly removed from office.

  
 The Corporation expressly confirms and agrees that (i) it has
entered into this agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on the Corporation hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to continue to serve as a Director and/or Officer of the Corporation and (ii) the obligations imposed on the Corporation hereby
cover service by Indemnitee during and after the period with respect to Indemnitee’s service on the Board of Directors, or as an Officer, of the 

 Corporation, including, specifically, the period prior to the date of this Agreement. The Corporation acknowledges that
Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in continuing in his or her capacity as a Director and/or Officer of the Corporation. 
  
 2. Definitions. As used in this Agreement: 
  
 (a) The term “Proceeding” shall include any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, arbitration or proceeding, whether
brought by or in the right of the Corporation or otherwise and whether of a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative nature, in which Indemnitee may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee
is or was a Director and/or Officer of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation, by reason of any action taken by Indemnitee or of any inaction on his or her part while acting as such a Director and/or Officer, or by reason of the fact
that he or she is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, member or manager, partner, trustee, employee, agent, or fiduciary of another corporation (domestic or foreign, nonprofit or for profit), limited liability
company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise; in each case whether before or after the date of this Agreement and whether or not he or she is acting or serving in any such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred
for which indemnification or reimbursement can be provided under this Agreement. 
  
 (b) The term “Expenses” shall include, without limitation, expenses of investigations, judicial or administrative proceedings or
appeals, attorneys’ fees and disbursements and any expenses of establishing a right to indemnification under Paragraph 8 of this Agreement, but shall not include the amount of judgments, fines or penalties against or settlements paid by
Indemnitee. 
  
 (c) References to “other
enterprise” shall include, without limitation, employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include, without limitation, any excise tax assessed with respect to any employee benefit plan; references to “serving at the
request of the Corporation” shall include, without limitation, any service as a Director and/or Officer of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such Director and/or Officer with respect to an employee benefit plan,
its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a
manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in this Agreement. 
  
 3. Indemnity in Third-Party Proceedings. The Corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph 3 if
Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to or otherwise involved in any Proceeding (other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor) by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a
Director and/or Officer of the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, member or manager, partner, trustee, employee, agent, or fiduciary of another corporation
(domestic or foreign, nonprofit or for profit), limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, in each case whether before or after the date of this Agreement, 
  

 2 

 against all Expenses, judgments, settlements, fines and penalties, actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in
connection with the defense or settlement of such Proceeding, but only if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, in the case of a
criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any such Proceeding by judgment, order of court, 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 he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and with respect to any criminal proceeding, that such
person had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. 
  
 4. Indemnity for Expenses in Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation. The Corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph 4 if Indemnitee is a party to or
threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a Director and/or Officer of the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation,
or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, member or manager, partner, trustee, employee, agent, or fiduciary of another corporation (domestic or foreign, nonprofit or for profit), limited liability company,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, in each case whether before or after the date of this Agreement, against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Proceeding, but only
if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, except that no indemnification for Expenses shall be made under this Paragraph 4 in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged by court order or judgment to be liable to the Corporation, unless and only to the extent that any court in which such Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application
that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as such court shall deem proper. 
  
 5. Indemnity for Amounts Paid in Settlement in Proceedings by or in the
Right of the Corporation. The Corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph 5 if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to
procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a Director and/or Officer of the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, member or
manager, partner, trustee, employee, agent, or fiduciary of another corporation (domestic or foreign, nonprofit or for profit), limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, in each case whether before or after
the date of this Agreement, against all amounts actually and reasonably paid in settlement by Indemnitee in connection with any such Proceeding, but only if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation. 
  
 6.
Indemnification of Expenses of Successful Party. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding or in defense of any claim,
issue or matter therein, including dismissal without prejudice, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses incurred in connection therewith. 
  

 3 

 7. Advances of Expenses. Any Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee pursuant to
Paragraphs 3 or 4 in any Proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance upon the written request of Indemnitee if Indemnitee shall undertake to (a) repay such amount to the extent that it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not
entitled to indemnification hereunder, and (b) reasonably cooperate with the Corporation concerning the action, suit or proceeding giving rise to the Expenses. Any advances to be made under this Paragraph 7 shall be paid by the Corporation to
Indemnitee within 30 days following delivery of a written request therefor by Indemnitee to the Corporation. 
  
 8. Procedure. Any indemnification and advances provided for in Paragraph 3, 4, 5 and 6 shall be made no later than 30 days after receipt of the
written request of Indemnitee. If a claim under this Agreement, under any statute, or under any provision of the Corporation’s Certificate or its By-laws providing for indemnification, is not paid in full by the Corporation within 30 days after
a written request for payment thereof has first been received by the Corporation, Indemnitee may, but need not, at any time thereafter bring an action against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, subject to the other
provisions of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid for the Expenses 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 that make it permissible under applicable law for the Corporation to indemnify Indemnitee for the amount claimed, but the burden
of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation and Indemnitee shall be entitled to receive advance payments of expenses pursuant to Paragraph 7 hereof unless and until such defense may be finally adjudicated by court order or judgment from
which no further right of appeal exists. It is the parties’ intention that if the Corporation contests Indemnitee’s right to indemnification, the question of Indemnitee’s right to indemnification shall be for the court or arbitrator,
as applicable, to decide, and neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, any committee or subgroup of the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination that
indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct required by applicable law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, any committee or
subgroup of the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that Indemnitee has or has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

  
 9. Allowance for Compliance with SEC Requirements.
Indemnitee acknowledges that the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has expressed the opinion that indemnification of directors and officers from liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and, is therefore, unenforceable. Indemnitee hereby agrees that it will not be a breach of this Agreement for the Corporation to undertake with the SEC in connection with the registration for sale of any
stock or other securities of the Corporation from time to time that, in the event a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Corporation of expenses incurred or paid by a director or officer of the
Corporation in the successful defense of any 
  

 4 

 action, suit or proceeding) is asserted in connection with such stock or other securities being registered, the
Corporation will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of competent jurisdiction on the question of whether or not such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. Indemnitee further agrees that such submission to a court of competent jurisdiction shall not be a breach of this Agreement. 
  
 10. Indemnification Hereunder Not Exclusive. The indemnification
provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled under the Certificate or the By-laws of the Corporation, any agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, the DGCL,
or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. 
  
 The indemnification under this Agreement for any action taken or not taken while serving in an indemnified capacity shall continue as to Indemnitee even
though he or she may have ceased to be a Director and/or Officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and personal representatives of Indemnitee. 
  
 11. Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by
the Corporation for some claims, issues or matters, but not as to other claims, issues or matters, or for some or a portion of the Expenses, judgments, fines or penalties actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or amounts actually and
reasonably paid in settlement by Indemnitee in the investigation, defense, appeal or settlement of any Proceeding, but not for the total amount thereof, the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such claims, issues
or matters or Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties or amounts paid in settlement to which Indemnitee is entitled. 
  
 12. No Rights of Continued Employment. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create in Indemnitee any right to continued employment.

  
 13. Reimbursement to Corporation by Indemnitee; Limitation
on Amounts Paid by Corporation. To the extent Indemnitee has been indemnified by the Corporation hereunder and later receives payments from any insurance carrier covering the same Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties or amounts paid in
settlement so indemnified by the Corporation hereunder, Indemnitee shall immediately reimburse the Corporation hereunder for all such amounts received from the insurer. 
  
 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to recover amounts under this
Agreement which, when added to the amount of indemnification payments made to, or on behalf of, Indemnitee, under the Certificate or By-laws of the Corporation, in the aggregate exceed the Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee (“Excess Amounts”). To the extent the Corporation has paid Excess Amounts to Indemnitee, Indemnitee shall be obligated to reimburse the Corporation for such Excess Amounts.

  

 5 

 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Corporation shall not be obligated under
the terms of this Agreement, to indemnify Indemnitee: 
  
 (a) 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 a right to indemnification under this
Agreement or any other statute or law or otherwise as required under Section 145 of the DGCL, but such indemnification or advancement of expenses may be provided by the Corporation in specific cases if the Board of Directors finds it appropriate;

  
 (b) if it is proved by final judgment in a court of law or
other final adjudication to have been based upon or attributable to Indemnitee in fact having gained any personal profit or advantage to which he or she was not legally entitled; 
  
 (c) 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; 
  
 (d) for a disgorgement of profits made from the purchase and sale by the Indemnitee of securities pursuant to Section 16(b)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or similar provisions of any state statutory law or common law; or 
  
 (e) for any judgment, fine or penalty which the Corporation is prohibited by applicable law from paying as indemnity or for any other reason.

  
 14. Scope. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the Corporation 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 Corporation’s
Certificate, its By-laws, 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 change shall be deemed to be within the purview of Indemnitee’s rights and the Corporation’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 change, 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. 
  
 15. Notice
to Insurers. If, at the time of the receipt of a written request of Indemnitee pursuant to Paragraph 8 hereof, the Corporation has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Corporation 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 Corporation 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. 
  
 16. Selection of Counsel. In the event the Corporation shall be obligated under Paragraphs 3, 4, 5, or 6 hereof to pay the expenses of any Proceeding against Indemnitee, the Corporation, if appropriate, shall
be entitled to assume the defense of such Proceeding, with 
  

 6 

 counsel approved by Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, upon delivery to Indemnitee
of written notice of the Corporation’s election to do so. After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Corporation, the Corporation will not be liable to Indemnitee under this
Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same proceeding, provided that: (a) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his or her own counsel in any such proceeding at Indemnitee’s expense; and
(b) if (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Corporation, or (ii) the Corporation shall not, in fact, have employed counsel to assume the defense of such proceeding, then the fees and expenses of
Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Corporation. 
  
 17. Arbitration. With the exception of the provisions of Paragraph 9 hereof, any dispute, controversy or claim between Indemnitee and the Corporation arising out of or relating to or concerning the provisions of this Agreement, shall
be finally settled by arbitration in the City of Cleveland, State of Ohio, before a single arbitrator agreeable to both parties. If the parties cannot agree on a designated arbitrator, arbitration shall proceed in the City of Cleveland, State of
Ohio, before an arbitrator appointed by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). In either case, the arbitration proceeding shall commence promptly in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the AAA then in effect and
the arbitrator shall be an attorney other than an attorney who has, or is associated with a firm having associated with it an attorney who has been retained by or performed services for the Corporation or Indemnitee at any time during the five years
preceding the commencement of the arbitration. The award shall be rendered in such form that judgment may be entered thereon in any court having jurisdiction thereof. 
  
 18. Continuation of Rights and Obligations. All rights and obligations of the Corporation and Indemnitee hereunder
shall continue in full force and effect despite the subsequent amendment or modification of the Corporation’s Certificate or By-laws, as such are in effect on the date hereof, and such rights and obligations shall not be affected by any such
amendment or modification, any resolution of directors or stockholders of the Corporation, or by any other corporate action which conflicts with or purports to amend, modify, limit or eliminate any of the rights or obligations of the Corporation
and/or Indemnitee hereunder. 
  
 19. Amendment and
Modification. This Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by the written agreement of the Corporation and Indemnitee. 
  
 20. Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Corporation or Indemnitee without the prior written consent of the other party thereto,
except that the Corporation may freely assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any subsidiary for whom Indemnitee is serving as a director and/or officer thereof; provided, however, that no permitted assignment shall release the
assignor from its obligations hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, including, without
limitation, any successor to the Corporation by way of merger, consolidation and/or sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the capital stock of the Corporation. 
  
 21. Saving Clause. If this Agreement or any portion thereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of
competent jurisdiction, the Corporation shall

 nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee as to Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement with respect
to any Proceeding to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Agreement that shall not have been invalidated or by any other applicable law. 
  

22. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more fully or partially executed counterparts each of which shall be deemed an
original binding the signer thereof against the other signing parties, but all counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Executed signature pages may be removed from counterpart agreements and attached to one or more fully
executed copies of this Agreement. The parties may execute and deliver this Agreement by facsimile signature, which shall have the same binding effect as an original ink signature. 
  
 23. Notice and Information. Indemnitee shall, as a condition precedent to his or her right to be indemnified under
this Agreement, give to the Corporation notice in writing as soon as practicable of any claim made against him or her for which indemnity will or could be sought under this Agreement. Notice to the Corporation shall be directed to the Corporation at
5885 Landerbrook Drive, Suite 205, Cleveland, Ohio 44124 Attention: Chief Financial Officer (or such other address as the Corporation shall designate in writing to Indemnitee). Notice shall be deemed received three days after the date postmarked if
sent by prepaid mail, properly addressed. In addition, Indemnitee shall give the Corporation such information and cooperation as it may reasonably require within Indemnitee’s power. 
  
 24. Applicable Law. All matters with respect to this Agreement, including, without limitation, matters of validity,
construction, effect and performance shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and to be performed therein between the residents thereof (regardless of the laws that might otherwise be applicable
under principles of conflicts of law).
