 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the covenants and provisions contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 
 CONTINGENT PAYMENT 
 1.1. Contingent Payments. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Contingent Payment Recipients (in accordance
with such Contingent Payment Recipient’s Contingent Payment Percentage) shall be eligible to receive certain contingent payments from Management Co. as future additional, deferred consideration for the sale of the Original Securities.

 1.2. Timing and Manner of Contingent Payment. On the Contingent Payment Date, subject to Sections 1.3 and 1.4 hereof, Management
Co. shall pay, or cause to be paid, the Contingent Payments (or portion thereof), if any, due to the Contingent Payment Recipients. The Contingent Payments payable to the Contingent Payment Recipients shall be payable in cash to the Sellers’
Representative (on behalf of the Contingent Payment Recipients, pm rata based on their respective Contingent Payment Percentage) in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, by wire transfer of immediately
available U.S. funds to one or more accounts previously designated in writing by the Sellers’ Representative to Management Co. The right of the Contingent Payment Recipients to receive the Contingent Payments shall not, without the prior
written consent of the board of directors of Holdings, be transferable, in whole or in part, to any other Person other than to a Permitted Family Transferee. 
 1.3. Right of Set-Off. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and of the Purchase Agreement, Management Co. shall have the right to withhold and set-off, against any Contingent Payment due to each
Contingent Payment Recipient under this Agreement, the amount of any Losses that such Contingent Payment Recipient is, pursuant to a Final Determination (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), required to pay to the Purchasers or the Purchaser Group
(as applicable, the “Indemnified Party”) under Article X of the Purchase Agreement on or prior to the Contingent Payment Date. If Contingent Payments due under this Agreement are so set-off, the amount of such set-off shall
be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). 
 1.4. Contingent Payment Conditions and
Limitations; Remedy. 
 (a) Upon the occurrence of the Contingent Payment Date, Management Co. shall make, and the Contingent Payment
Recipients shall be entitled to receive, their respective portion of the Contingent Payment, to the extent such Contingent Payment is due and payable pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Management Co. shall not be obligated to make any Contingent Payments if, and then only to
the extent that, making such Contingent Payment would cause Management Co. (or its directors) to violate Section 160 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. 
  

 2 

 (c) In the event that Management Co. is unable to or fails to pay the full amount of the Contingent
Payments, if any, by the Outside Date, at any time after the Outside Date, at the request of the Sellers’ Representative, the Purchasers and the Company shall retain a nationally recognized investment bank (which shall be reasonably acceptable
to the Sellers’ Representative and to the holders of a majority of all then outstanding Holdings’ Equity Securities) for the purpose of effecting a Sale of Holdings. Upon such request, each Purchaser and the Company shall cause each of its
officers to participate actively in the sale process (including assisting with the preparation of an offering memorandum and being available to meet with representatives of prospective purchasers) as reasonably requested by such investment bank.
Each Purchaser and the Company shall in such event expeditiously effect a Sale of the Company on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Purchasers and the Company and shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, use the proceeds of such Sale of the
Company to pay the Contingent Payment Recipients the full amount of all Contingent Payments due hereunder, if any. 
 1.5. The
Sellers’ Representative. Each of the Contingent Payment Recipients hereby authorizes and directs the Sellers’ Representative to take any and all action on behalf of all of the Contingent Payment Recipients under this Agreement. As the
representative of the Contingent Payment Recipients, the Sellers’ Representative shall act as the agent for the Contingent Payment Recipients and shall have authority to bind each such Contingent Payment Recipient in accordance with the terms
and conditions of this Agreement. The Purchasers and the Company may rely on such appointment and authority until receipt of notice of the appointment of a successor to the Sellers’ Representative upon ten (10) days prior written notice to
the Purchasers. 
 1.6. Subordination. The Contingent Payment Recipients agree that in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby, each Seller will execute the subordination agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

Price. Any Contingent Payment will be treated by the parties for all purposes as additional Purchase Price (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) under the Purchase Agreement. 
 1.8. Further Assurances of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser and the Company shall (i) take all necessary corporate action (including, without
limitation, that of the stockholders and boards of directors of the Company and each Purchaser) to fully effectuate and carry out the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (ii) execute, acknowledge and deliver, and cause to be taken,
executed, acknowledged and delivered, all such other further authorizations, consents, approvals, agreements, assignments or assurances as may be necessary to fully effectuate and carry out the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and

individual arbitration (as opposed to class or collective arbitration) administered by a Person mutually selected by the Sellers’ Representative and the
Purchasers (the “Arbitrator”). If the parties are unable to agree upon the Arbitrator, they shall each select an arbitrator and the two selected arbitrators shall appoint a third arbitrator to act as the Arbitrator. 
 (c) In the event of any dispute, claim, question or disagreement arising from or relating to this Agreement, or the breach hereof or thereof, with the

Purchasers and the Sellers’ Representative do not resolve or settle the matter within ten (10) Business Days after the initial meeting, or following any longer period as the parties may agree to in writing, the Purchasers and the

Evidence. The Arbitrator will have full power to give directions and make such orders as the Arbitrator deems just. Nonetheless, the Arbitrator explicitly shall not have the authority, power, or right to alter, change, amend, modify, add, or
subtract from any provision of this Agreement. 
 (f) The Arbitrator shall issue a written decision within thirty (30) days after the
conclusion of the arbitration hearing, which decision shall be rendered without reference to the reason for the arbitrator’s decision or any citation to precedent. The agreement to arbitrate will be specifically enforceable. The award rendered
by the arbitrator shall be final and binding (absent fraud or manifest error), and any arbitration award may be enforced by judgment entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The fees and expenses of the arbitrator shall be allocated between
the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Contingent Payment Recipients), on the one hand, and the Purchasers, on the other hand in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of the disputed items submitted to the Arbitrator that is
unsuccessfully disputed by each such party (as finally determined by the Arbitrator) bears to the total amount of such disputed items so submitted. 
 (g) During any arbitration proceeding, the parties shall continue to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement. 
 4.9. Construction. Where specific language is used to clarify by example a general statement contained herein, such specific language shall not be deemed to modify, limit or restrict in any manner the construction of the general
statement to which it relates. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party hereto. Without
limitation, there shall be no presumption against any party on the ground that such party was responsible for drafting this Agreement or any part hereof.

 (a) the mutual agreement of the Purchasers, the Company and the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Contingent Payment Recipients);

 (b) the receipt by the Contingent Payment Recipients of the Contingent Payments to which they are entitled; and 
 (c) any (i) voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Holdings, other than any dissolution, liquidation or winding up in
connection with any reincorporation of Holdings in another jurisdiction, or (ii) any Sale of Holdings, in each case, which results in a Net Value of Holdings of less than the Target Amount.

Each Subordinated Claimant irrevocably authorizes, empowers and directs any debtor, debtor-in-possession, receiver, trustee or agent or other Person having authority, to pay or otherwise deliver all such payments or distributions to Senior Agent.

 (b) Until the Senior Indebtedness has been Finally Paid, if a Proceeding shall occur and be continuing, the Subordinated Claimants shall
file all claims they may have against the Company, the Management Co. or any Obligor, and shall direct the debtor in possession or trustee in bankruptcy, as appropriate, to pay over to the Senior Agent all amounts due to the Subordinated Claimants
on account of the Subordinated Claims until the Senior Indebtedness has been Finally Paid. If the Subordinated Claimants fail to file and/or vote such claims prior to 10 days before the expiration of time to do so, the Senior Agent may (but shall

 B-8 

 
position over the Subordinated Claimants created by this Agreement or (iv) take any position or action which would have directly or indirectly any of
the following effects: (A) extension of the final maturity of and/or forgiveness, reduction or cram-down of the Senior Indebtedness or deferral of any required payment in respect of Senior Indebtedness, (B) opposing or objecting to
initiatives or claims by the Senior Lenders for adequate protection or relief from the automatic stay, use of cash collateral or super-priority expense of administration for failure of adequate protection, (C) challenging in any respect
treatment of the Senior Indebtedness as a first priority perfected fully secured claim, (D) blocking current payment of any obligation in respect of Senior Indebtedness, (E) assenting to or supporting any requested extension of the

their own name thereafter amend, modify or rescind any such prior act taken or vote issued, in violation of this Agreement. 
 (d) Until the

Subordinated Claimant agrees not to (i) initiate any proceeding involving the marshalling of any of Company Property (whether in a Proceeding or otherwise) or (ii) assert any right it may have to “adequate protection” of its
interest, if any, in such security in any Proceeding and agrees that it will not seek to have the automatic stay lifted with respect to such security, in each case without the prior written consent of the Senior Agent. Each Subordinated Claimant
waives any claim or defense such Subordinated Claimant may now or hereafter have arising out of the election by any Senior Lender in any Proceeding instituted under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code of any use of cash collateral, any borrowing or
any grant of a security interest under Sections 363 and/or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code by the Company, the Management Co. or any Obligor, as debtor-in-possession. Each Subordinated Claimant agrees that it will not object to or oppose a sale or other
disposition of any property securing all or any part of the Senior Indebtedness free and clear of any Liens or other claims of such Subordinated Claimant under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code if the Senior Agent has consented to such sale or
disposition. Each Subordinated Claimant further agrees that it will not seek to participate on any creditors committee in respect of the Subordinated Claims without the Senior Agents Prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. To the extent that any Senior Lender receives payments on, or proceeds of collateral for, the Senior Indebtedness which are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set

aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law, or equitable cause,
then as between such Senior Lender and such Subordinated Claimant hereunder, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the Senior Indebtedness, or part thereof, intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and
effect as if such payments or proceeds had not been received by such Senior Lender. 
 9. Obligation of Company

intended to or shall impair, as between the Company and the Subordinated Claimants only, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Subordinated Claimants the Subordinated Claims as and when the same shall
become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or to affect the relative rights of the Subordinated Claimants and creditors of the Company other than the Senior. Lenders.

 (a) No right of any
present or future holders of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination provisions as provided herein shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company; by any act or failure to
act by any such holder; by any act or failure to act by any other holder of the Senior Indebtedness; or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms hereof, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or be otherwise
charged with. The Subordinated Claimants shall not be released, nor shall the Subordinated Claimants’ obligation hereunder be in anyway diminished, by any of the following: (i) the exercise or the failure to exercise by any Senior Lender
of any rights or remedies conferred on it or them under the Senior Loan Documents hereunder or existing at law or otherwise, or against any Company Property; (ii) the commencement of an action at law or the recovery of a judgment at law against

any Senior Lender; (v) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Senior Loan Document; (vi) the release or non-perfection of any collateral securing the Senior Indebtedness; or (vii) any other circumstance which might otherwise
constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Company, the Management Co. or any Obligor in respect of the Senior Indebtedness or Subordinated Claimants in respect of this Agreement. 
 (b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and anything else contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any Senior Lender, from time to

connection with all negotiable instruments evidencing all or any portion of the Senior Indebtedness or the Subordinated Claims to which the Company or the Subordinated Claimants may be a party; prior notice of and consent to any loans made,
extensions granted or other action taken in reliance thereon; and all other demands and notices of every kind in connection with this Agreement, the Senior Indebtedness or the Subordinated Claims. Each Subordinated Claimant consents to any release,
renewal, extension, compromise or postponement of the time of payment of the Senior Indebtedness, to any substitution, exchange or release of collateral therefor, and to the addition or release of any Person primarily or secondarily liable thereon.

 12. No Estoppel. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any Senior Lender to exercise any right, remedy, power or
privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or give rise to an estoppel, nor be construed as an agreement to modify the terms of this Agreement, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect
to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver by a party hereunder shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party making such waiver, and then
only to the extent specifically stated in such writing. 
 13. Incorrect Payments; Specific Performance. If the Company, the
Management Co. or any Obligor shall make or the Subordinated Claimants shall collect any payment on account of any amounts due under the Subordinated Claims in contravention of this Agreement, such payments shall be held in trust by the Subordinated
Claimants and not commingled with any asset of any Subordinated Claimant and shall be paid over and delivered to the Senior Agent, for the benefit of the Senior Lenders, promptly upon receipt thereof. At any time any Subordinated Claimant fails to
comply with any provision of this Agreement, the Senior Lenders may demand specific performance of this Agreement, whether or not the Company has complied with this Agreement, and may exercise any other remedy available at law or equity. 

 

 B-11 

 14. Amendment of the Subordinated Documents and Senior Loan Documents. Each Subordinated Claimant
agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Senior Agent, agree to any amendment, modification or supplement to the Subordinated Documents other than any immaterial amendment which is not adverse to the rights of the Senior
Lenders; provided, however, the foregoing shall not restrict any Subordinated Claimant from waiving any default under the Subordinated Documents. The Senior Indebtedness may at any time be amended, modified, restated, refinanced, or
waived without limitation without notice to, or the consent of, the Subordinated Claimants. 
 15. Inconsistent or Conflicting Provisions;
Construction. If a provision of the Senior Loan Documents or the Subordinated Documents is inconsistent or conflicts with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and prevail. The term “including”
is not limiting and means “including without limitation.” In the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means “from and including”; the words “to” and
“until” each mean “to but excluding”, and the word “through” means “to and including.” 
 16.
Notices. Any notice, consent or other communication provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally (effective upon delivery), via facsimile (effective upon confirmation of transmission), via overnight
courier (effective the next Business Day after dispatch if instructed to deliver on next business day) or via U.S. Mail (effective 3 days after mailing, postage prepaid, first class) to each party at its address(es) and/or facsimile number(s) set
forth on Annex I hereto, or to such other address as either party shall specify to the other in writing from time to time. The Subordinated Claimants shall provide the Senior Agent with written notice promptly upon the occurrence of an event
of default under the Subordinated Documents. The parties hereto agree that, notwithstanding Section 20(b) hereof, any notice to a Subordinated Claimant shall be deemed to constitute notice to all affiliated Subordinated Claimants.

 17. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes and expresses the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to
the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, inducements or conditions, whether express or implied, oral or written. Neither this Agreement nor any portion or provision hereof may be changed,
waived or amended orally or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing signed by the Senior Agent and the Subordinated Claimants; provided that any such change, waiver or amendment shall be binding upon the Company by their written
consent thereto. This Agreement shall constitute a Loan Document and the recitals hereto shall constitute part of this Agreement. 
 18.
Additional Documentation. The Company, the Purchasers and the Subordinated Claimants shall execute and deliver to the Senior Agent such further instruments and shall take such further action as the Senior Agent may at any time or times
reasonably request in order to carry out the provisions and intent of this Agreement. 
  

 B-12 

 19. Expenses. The Company agrees to pay the Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders on demand all
expenses of every kind, including Attorney Costs, that the Senior Agent or the Senior Lenders incur in enforcing any of their rights against the Company and/or the Subordinated Claimants under this Agreement. 
 20. Successors and Assigns. 
 (a)
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of each Senior Lender, each Subordinated Claimant, and their respective successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns, the Purchasers and their respective
successors and assigns and each Senior Lender, each Subordinated Claimant and their respective transferees, successors and assigns, including any subsequent claimant of the Contingent Payments. Any Senior Lender, without prior notice or consent of
any kind, may sell, assign or transfer any Senior Indebtedness, and in such event each and every immediate and successive assignee or transferee thereof may be given the right by such Person to enforce this Agreement in full against the Company and
the Subordinated Claimants, by suit or otherwise, for its own benefit. 
 (b) No Subordinated Claimant shall sell,
assign, pledge, dispose of or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the Subordinated Claims or any Subordinated Document unless the transferee thereof shall have executed and delivered to the Senior Agent a counterparty agreement and
acknowledgment and consent hereto in form and substance satisfactory to Senior Agent providing for the agreement of such transferee to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as a “Subordinating Claimant” hereunder. Notwithstanding
any failure of any such transferee to execute and deliver such a counterparty agreement and acknowledgement and consent, this Agreement shall survive any sale, assignment, disposal or other transfer of all or any portion of the Subordinated Claims
to such transferee and the terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the successors, transferees and assigns of the Subordinated Claimant. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the failure of any transferee to execute or deliver an agreement substantially identical to this Agreement, the subordination effected hereby shall survive any sale, assignment, pledge, disposition or other transfer of
all or any portion of the Subordinated Claims, and the terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Subordinated Claim, as provided in this Section 20. 
 (d) Each Subordinated Claimant hereby agrees that any party that refinances the Senior Indebtedness of the Senior Lenders may rely on and enforce this
Agreement as if it were such Senior Lender. Each Subordinated Claimant further hereby agrees that it will, at the request of such Senior Lender, enter into an agreement, in the form of this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, to subordinate
the Subordinated Claims, to the same extent as provided herein, to the party refinancing all or a portion of such Senior Indebtedness; provided that the failure of the Subordinated Claimants to execute such an agreement shall not affect such
party’s right to rely on and enforce the terms of this Agreement. 
 21. Covenant Not to Challenge. This Agreement has been
negotiated by the parties with the expectation and in reliance upon the assumption that the instruments and documents evidencing the Senior Indebtedness are valid and enforceable. In determining whether to enter 

  

 B-13 

 
into this Agreement, the Subordinated Claimants have assumed such validity and enforceability, and have agreed to the provisions contained herein, without
relying upon any reservation of a right to challenge or call into question such validity or enforceability. As between any Senior Lender and any Subordinated Claimant, each Subordinated Claimant hereby covenants and agrees, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, that it shall not initiate in any proceeding a challenge to the validity or enforceability of the documents and instruments evidencing the Senior Indebtedness or the validity, perfection or priority of any Lien of the Senior Agent
or the Senior Lenders securing the Senior Indebtedness, nor shall the Subordinated Claimants instigate other, parties to raise any such challenges, nor shall the Subordinated Claimants participate in or otherwise assert any such challenges which are raised by other parties. 
 22. Subrogation. Subject to the Final Payment of all Senior Indebtedness and the provisions of Section 24 hereof, the Subordinated
Claimants shall be subrogated to the rights of the Senior Lenders to receive payments and distributions of cash, property and securities applicable to the Senior Indebtedness to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the Subordinated
Claimants have been applied to the Senior Indebtedness, until all amounts payable under the Subordinated Claims shall have been paid in full. For purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the Senior Lenders of any cash, property
or securities to which the Subordinated Claimants would be entitled except for the provisions of this Agreement, and no payment pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement to the Senior Lenders by the Subordinated Claimants shall, as among the
Company and its creditors other than the Senior Lenders, be deemed to be a payment or distribution by the Company to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness. If the Company fails to make any payment on account of the Subordinated Claims by reason
of any provision contained herein, such failure shall, notwithstanding such provision contained herein, constitute a default with respect to the Subordinated Claims if and to the extent such failure would otherwise constitute such a default in
accordance with the terms of the Subordinated Claims. 
 23. Termination of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue and shall be
irrevocable until the date all of the Senior Indebtedness has been Finally Paid or otherwise discharged and released in an express writing to such effect by the Senior Lenders. 
 24. Reinstatement. The obligations of the Subordinated Claimants under the Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case
may be, if at any time any payment in respect of any Senior Indebtedness is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Senior Lender by reason of any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, composition or similar proceeding or as a
result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Company, the Management Co., any Obligor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been
made. 
  

 B-14 

 25. Legends. Until the termination of this Agreement, each Subordinated Claimant will cause to be
clearly, conspicuously and prominently inserted on the face of each Subordinated Document, as well as any renewals or replacements thereof, the following legend:

 Exhibit 10.16 
 FORM OF INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 
 THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (the
“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of [        ]         , [        ] between Addus
Holding Corporation Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [        ] (“Indemnitee”). 
 WITNESSETH THAT: 
 WHEREAS, it
is essential to the Company to attract and retain as directors and officers capable individuals; 
 WHEREAS, Indemnitee performs a
valuable service for the Company; 
 WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has adopted Bylaws
(the “Bylaws”) providing for the indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company to the maximum extent authorized by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended from time to time (the
“Law”); 
 WHEREAS, the Bylaws and the Law, by their nonexclusive nature, permit contracts between the Company and
the officers or directors of the Company with respect to indemnification of such officers or directors; 
 WHEREAS, in accordance with
the authorization as provided by the Law, the Company may purchase and maintain a policy or policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (“D & O Insurance”), covering certain liabilities which may be
incurred by its officers or directors in the performance of their obligations to the Company; 
 WHEREAS, Indemnitee has certain
rights to indemnification and/or insurance provided by the Company 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; and

 WHEREAS, in recognition of past services and in order to induce Indemnitee to continue to serve as an officer or director of
the Company, the Company has determined and agreed to enter into this contract with Indemnitee. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of
Indemnitee’s service as an officer or director after the date hereof, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
  

	 	Section 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, and in accordance with all provisions in this Agreement. 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 1 if, by 

  

 1 

 
reason of his Corporate Status (as hereinafter defined), Indemnitee is made, 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 to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all Expenses (as hereinafter defined),
judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s 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
if, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, Indemnitee is made, 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 to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s 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; 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 finally adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any court in which such
Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that such indemnification may be made, despite the adjudication of liability. 
 (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 Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a party to and is
successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, in whole or in part, Indemnitee shall be indemnified to the maximum extent permitted by law as such may be amended from time to time,
against all Expenses actually incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s 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 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 for Expenses of a Witness. Not withstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually incurred by Indemnitee
or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith. 
  

 2 

	 	Section 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 to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law Indemnitee against all
Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf if, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, Indemnitee is made, 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 5 and 6 hereof) to be unlawful. 
  

	 	Section 3.	Contribution in the Event of Joint Liability 

 (a) Whether or not the indemnification provided in Section 1 and Section 2 hereof is available, in respect of any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if
joined in the Proceeding), the Company shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount of any judgment or settlement in connection with any 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 Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding) unless such
settlement provides for a full and final release of all claims asserted against Indemnitee. 
 (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 Proceeding in which the
Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), the Company shall pay to Indemnitee the entire amount of any judgment or settlement of such 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. Indemintee shall not enter into any settlement of any Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined
in such Proceeding) unless such settlement provides for a full and final release of all claims asserted against the Company. 
 (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
Expenses, in connection with any claim relating to any event requiring indemnification of Indemnitee under the Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate”), the 

  

 3 

 
Bylaws, this Agreement, or of any other resolutions or provisions thereto 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). 
  

	 	Section 4.	Advancement of Expenses 

 Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall advance, to the extent not prohibited by law, all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status within ten
(10) 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
include or be preceded or accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay any Expenses advanced if, and only to the extent that, it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such
Expenses. Advances shall include any and all 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. Any advances and
undertakings to repay pursuant to this Section 4 shall be unsecured and interest free. This Section 4 shall not apply to any claim made by Indemnitee for which indemnity is excluded pursuant to Section 8. 
  

	 	Section 5.	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 law 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 for indemnification or advancement of
Expenses, 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 as soon as is
reasonably practicable following the receipt by Indemnitee of written notice thereof. Such written request to the Company shall include a description of the nature of the Proceeding and the facts underlying such Proceeding, to the extent known. The
omission by Indemnitee to notify the Company hereunder will not relieve the Company from any liability that it may have to Indemnitee hereunder or otherwise than under this Agreement, and any delay in so notifying the Company shall not constitute a
waiver by Indemnitee of any rights under this Agreement. The Secretary of the Company (or other executive officer if the secretary is otherwise unavailable) shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board in
writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification. 
  

 4 

 (b) If a claim under this Agreement, under any statute, or under any provision of the Certificate or
Bylaws providing for indemnification is not paid in full by the Company within ten (10) days after a written request for payment thereof has first been received by the Company, Indemnitee shall, at any time thereafter, 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. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at his option, may seek an award in arbitration to
be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration. In any such action
by Indemnitee to recover the unpaid amount of the claim, 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 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, but
the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Company, and Indemnitee shall be entitled to receive interim payments of Expenses pursuant to Section 5 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 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 the Board, any committee or subgroup of the Board, independent legal counsel or the Company’s 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 Company (including the Board, any committee or subgroup of the Board, independent legal counsel or the Company’s 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. 
 (c) 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, 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 5(c) are satisfied, it shall in any event be presumed that Indemnitee has at all times acted in good faith and in
a manner Indemnitee 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.

 (d) 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 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 Proceeding with or without payment of money or other consideration) it shall 

  

 5 

 
be presumed that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in such Proceeding. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the
burden of proof and the burden of persuasion, by clear and convincing evidence. 
 (e) 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 indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that
Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. 
  

	 	Section 6.	Remedies of Indemnitee 

 (a) In the event
that Indemnitee seeks a judicial adjudication of Indemnitee’s rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, or to recover under any D & O Insurance policies maintained by the Company, the Company shall pay on
Indemnitee’s behalf, in advance, any and all expenses (of the types described in the definition of Expenses in Section 13(c) of this Agreement) actually incurred by Indemnitee in such judicial adjudication, regardless of whether Indemnitee
ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advancement of expenses, or insurance recovery. 
 (b) The Company shall be
precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 6 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 thereof) 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. 
 (c) 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. 
  

	 	Section 7.	Non-Exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance; 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, the Bylaws, any
agreement, a vote of stockholders, a resolution of directors, or otherwise. No amendment, alteration, or repeal of the Certificate, the Bylaws, this Agreement or of any other 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 Indemnitee’s Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration, or repeal. To the extent that a change in 

  

 6 

 
the law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification than would be afforded currently under the Certificate, the Bylaws, 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. To the extent that a change in the law, whether by statute or judicial decision, limits the
indemnification rights that would be afforded currently under the Certificate, the Bylaws, and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that 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. 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. 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 may have ceased to
serve in such capacity at the time of any action or other covered Proceeding. 
 (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 which 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 such director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary under
such policy or policies. 
 (c) 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, 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. 
  

	 	Section 8.	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: 
 (a) for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy, except with respect to any excess beyond the
amount paid under any insurance policy; or 
 (b) 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, (ii) the Company provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law, (iii) the proceeding was initiated to establish or enforce a

  

 7 

 
right to indemnification under this Agreement, any other agreement or insurance policy, or under the Bylaws or the Certificate, or (iv) as otherwise
required under the laws of the State of Delaware. 
  

	 	Section 9.	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 this Agreement) by reason of Indemnitee’s 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. 
  

	 	Section 10.	Period of Limitations 

 No legal action shall
be brought and no cause of action shall be asserted by or in the right of the Company against Indemnitee, Indemnitee’s estate, spouse, heirs, executors, or personal or legal representatives after the expiration of two years from the date of
accrual of such cause of action, and any claim or cause of action of the Company shall be extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the timely filing of a legal action within such two-year period; provided, however, that if any shorter
period of limitations is otherwise applicable to any such cause of action, such shorter period shall govern. 
  

	 	Section 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. 
  

	 	Section 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 or continue 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; provided however,
that this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Certificate, the Bylaws, and any applicable law, and shall not be deemed a substitute thereof, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of indemnitee thereunder.

	 	Section 14.	Severability 

 If any provision or provisions
of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, illegal or otherwise unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement
(including without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable that is not itself invalid, illegal, or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; (b) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of
the parties hereto; and (c) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision 

  

 9 

 
held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable that is not itself invalid, illegal, or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent
manifested thereby. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement is intended to confer upon Indemnitee 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. 
  

	 	Section 15.	Attorneys’ Fees

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

 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 and/or
assets of the Company), assigns, spouses, heirs, and personal and legal representatives. The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially all or a
substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company
would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. This Agreement shall continue in effect regardless of whether Indemnitee continues to serve as a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company or of any other enterprise at
the Company’s request. 
  

	 	Section 18.	Notice by Indemnitee 

 Indemnitee agrees
promptly to notify the Company in writing upon being served or otherwise receiving with 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 the Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise unless and only to the extent that such failure or delay
materially prejudices the Company. 
  

 10

the “Fund 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 Fund 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 and Bylaws of the Company (or any other agreement between the Company and Indemnitee),
without regard to any rights Indemnitee may have against the Fund Indemnitors, and (iii) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Fund Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 7(c).
