 ENHANCED DEATH BENEFIT RIDER 
 The Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit (GMDB) provision in Section 9, Death Proceeds, of the policy to which this Rider is attached, is replaced with the following language: 
 The Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit is an Annual Step-Up to age [81] Death Benefit. The amount of this GMDB is equal to: 
  

	 	a)	the step-up value as described below; plus 

  

	 	b)	any Premium Payments subsequent to the previous determination point; minus 

  

	 	c)	any Adjusted Partial Withdrawals subsequent to the previous determination point 

 On the Policy Date, the step-up value is the Policy Value. On each Policy Anniversary (referred to as the determination points) prior to the earlier of the date of death of the Annuitant or the Annuitants [81st] birthday, a comparison is
made between (a) and (b), where (a) is the Policy Value at this point in time and (b) is the previous step-up value, plus Premium Payments minus Adjusted Partial Withdrawals (as described below) made since tine previous determination
point The larger of (a) and (b) becomes the new step-up value. This step-up process stops at the earlier of the date of death of the Annuitant or the Annuitants [81st] birthday. The then current step-up value becomes the final step-up
value. 
 A partial withdrawal as provided in Section 5 will reduce the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit by an amount referred to as the “Adjusted
Partial Withdrawal”. The Adjusted Partial Withdrawal may be a different amount than the Gross Partial Withdrawal described in Section 5. If at the time of the partial withdrawal, the Policy Value is greater than or equal to the Death
Proceeds, the Adjusted Partial Withdrawal will equal the Gross Partial Withdrawal. If at the time of the partial withdrawal, the Policy Value is less than the Death Proceeds, the Adjusted Partial Withdrawal will be greater than the Gross Partial
Withdrawal. 
 The Adjusted Partial Withdrawal formula is APW = GPW multiplied by DP divided by PV, where: 
  

					
	APW	  	=	  	Adjusted Partial Withdrawal
	GPW	  	=	  	Gross Partial Withdrawal
	DP	  	=	  	Death Proceeds prior to the Withdrawal = greatest of (PV, CV, or GMDB)
	PV	  	=	  	Policy Value prior to the Withdrawal
	GMDB	  	=	  	Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit prior to the Withdrawal
	CV	  	=	  	Cash Value prior to the Withdrawal

 This Rider is effective on the Policy Date and can only be terminated when the policy to which this rider is
attached terminates. This rider is subject to al! the terms and conditions of the policy not inconsistent herewith.

 Exhibit 10.1 
 FORM OF INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 
 This INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is
made and entered into as of this         day of October, 2006, by and between DCT Industrial Trust Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and
                                        
(“Indemnitee”). 
 WHEREAS, Indemnitee is [[delete the following for non-directors:] [a member of the Company’s Board
of Directors (the “Board of Directors”),] [[delete the following for non-employee directors and officers who are not directors:] [and is also]] [[delete the following for non-employee directors:] [a member of the
Company’s management and an officer of the Company]], and is entitled to indemnification in such [[for non-employee directors:] [capacity]] [[for directors who are also employees, and officers:] [capacities]] and may be reimbursed
for certain expenses pursuant to (and subject to the limitations provided in) the Company’s charter (the “Charter”), its bylaws (the “Bylaws”) and applicable law; 
 WHEREAS, Indemnitee wishes to (i) be assured to the greatest extent reasonably practicable that Indemnitee is protected against the risks of claims
and litigation which may result from Indemnitee’s acts or omissions made on behalf of the Company or its affiliates, and (ii) clarify the procedures and presumptions which will apply if Indemnitee seeks such protection; 
 WHEREAS, the Board of Directors [[delete the following for directors:] of the Company (the “Board of Directors”)] has determined that it
is appropriate and in the best interests of the Company and the Company’s stockholders that the Company should act to assure Indemnitee that there will be increased certainty of such protection and that such assurance should be provided prior
to any actions taken or omissions made by Indemnitee on behalf of the Company or its affiliates; and 
 WHEREAS, Indemnitee is willing to
continue to serve the Company on the condition that Indemnitee be so indemnified; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the
covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows: 
 SECTION 1. Indemnification —
General. The Company shall indemnify and advance Expenses (as hereinafter defined) to Indemnitee as provided in this Agreement and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the Company’s Charter and Bylaws in effect on the date
hereof or to such extent as applicable law and the Charter and Bylaws thereafter from time to time may permit; provided, however, that no change in Maryland law or the Charter or Bylaws shall have the effect of reducing the benefits
available to Indemnitee hereunder based on Maryland law and the Charter and Bylaws as in effect on the date hereof. The rights of Indemnitee provided in this Section 1 shall include, without limitation, the rights set forth in the other
sections of this Agreement, including any additional indemnification permitted by Section 2-418(g) of the Maryland General Corporation Law. This Agreement shall be effective with respect to any Proceeding (as hereinafter defined) including,
without limitation, any Proceeding which relates to acts or omissions occurring or allegedly occurring at any time prior to the date of this Agreement. The rights of Indemnitee provided under the preceding sentences of this Section 1 shall
include, but shall not be limited to, the rights set forth in the other Sections of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 2. Rights to
Indemnification. Except as otherwise provided by Section 14, Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section 2 if, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status (as hereinafter defined),
Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding. Pursuant to this Section 2, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against 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 other issue or matter therein by reason of his Corporate Status, unless it is established by a
preponderance of the evidence, as reflected in a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction that is not subject to further appeal, that (i) the act or omission of Indemnitee was material to the matter(s) giving rise to the
Proceeding and (A) was committed in bad faith or (B) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (iii) in the case of any
criminal Proceeding, Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful (clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are hereinafter collectively referred to as “Bad Conduct”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Proceeding was one by or in the right of the Company, no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter in such Proceeding as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company if applicable law
prohibits such indemnification; provided, however, that, if applicable law so permits, indemnification shall nevertheless be made by the Company in such event if and only to the extent that the court in which such Proceeding shall have been
brought or is pending, shall so determine. 

 SECTION 3. 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 defense of any Proceeding, Indemnitee shall be
indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in the defense of such Proceeding but is successful on the merits or
otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with
each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter, allocated on a reasonable and proportionate basis. For purposes of this Section 3, 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. 
 SECTION 4. Indemnification of
Expenses of a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee on Indemnitee’s or the Company’s behalf in connection therewith. 
 SECTION 5.
Advancement of Expenses. The Company shall advance all Expenses reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding to which Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made a party,
by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, from time to time and as incurred, within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances, whether prior to or after final
disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall include or be preceded or accompanied by (i) a written affirmation by Indemnitee of Indemnitee’s
good-faith belief that he has not engaged in Bad Conduct in connection with the matter(s) giving rise to, and is entitled to indemnification in connection with, such Proceeding, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and
(ii) an undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay any Expenses advanced if it shall ultimately be determined, as reflected in a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction that is not subject to further appeal, that
Indemnitee has engaged in Bad Conduct in connection with the matter(s) giving rise to such Proceeding and is therefore not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses. To the extent that Expenses advanced to Indemnitee do not relate to a
specific claim, issue or matter in the Proceeding, such Expenses shall be allocated on a reasonable and proportionate basis. The undertaking required by this Section 5 shall be an unlimited general obligation by or on behalf of Indemnitee and
shall be accepted without reference to Indemnitee’s financial ability to repay such advanced Expenses and without any requirement to post security therefor.

 SECTION 6. Procedure for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification. 
 (a) To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including therein or therewith such
documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a
request for indemnification, advise the Board of Directors of the Company in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification. 
 (b)
Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of Section 6(a), a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case:
(i) if a Change in Control (as hereinafter defined) shall have occurred, by Independent Counsel (as hereinafter defined) (unless Indemnitee shall request that such determination be made by the Board of Directors, in which case such
determination shall be made by the person or persons provided for in clause (ii)(A), or in the manner provided for in clause (ii)(B), of this Section 6(b)) in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to
Indemnitee; or (ii) if a Change in Control shall not have occurred, (A) by a majority vote of all Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined), even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, or (B) if there are no
Disinterested Directors, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee; and if it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall
be made in full within ten days after such determination. Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person,
persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any
costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination or otherwise in connection with Indemnitee’s request for
indemnification shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom. 
 (c) In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by the Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof, the
Independent Counsel shall be determined as provided in this Section 6(c). The Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board of Directors, in which event the Board
of Directors shall so select), and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. In either event, Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, within seven days after such
written notice of selection shall have been given, may deliver to the other a written objection to such selection. If such objection to Independent Counsel selected by Indemnitee is made by the Company (or if such objection to Independent Counsel
selected by the Board of Directors at the request of Indemnitee is made by Indemnitee), Indemnitee may select, and give the Company written notice of selection of, another Independent Counsel, in which event the Company may, within seven days after
such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to Indemnitee a written objection to such selection. Any objection hereunder to Independent Counsel may be asserted only on the grounds that the Independent Counsel so selected does not
meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 17 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. If any such written objections are made under this
Section 6(c), the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until a court has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within 20 days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for
indemnification pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof, in a case in which Independent Counsel is required to act pursuant to Section 6(b), no Independent Counsel shall have been 

 
selected and not objected to, Indemnitee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the
Company or Indemnitee to the selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment of Independent Counsel under Section 6(b) hereof. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements)
incurred by Indemnitee and incident to the procedures of this Section 6(c), regardless of the manner in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed. Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding pursuant to Section 8(a)
of this Agreement, Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing). 
 SECTION 7. Presumption and Effect of Proceedings. 
 (a) In making any determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person, persons or entity making such determination shall in each case presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement
if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 6(a) of this Agreement, and the Company shall in each case have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by any person,
persons or entity of any determination contrary to that presumption. 
 (b) If the determination of whether Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification is to be made (i) by the Board of Directors in the manner provided by Section 6(b) and no determination shall have been made within 45 days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor, or (ii) by Independent
Counsel pursuant to Section 6(b) and no determination shall have been made by Independent Counsel within 45 days after the appointment of Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 6(c), then in either such case, if Indemnitee shall have
complied with Indemnitee’s obligations under Section 6(b), the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made in favor of Indemnitee and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification.

 (c) The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or
its equivalent, or an entry of probation prior to judgment, shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee engaged in Bad Conduct in connection with the matter(s) giving rise to such Proceeding. 
 SECTION 8. Remedies of Indemnitee. 
 (a) In
the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 6 that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 5, (iii) the
determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 6(b) and such determination shall not have been made and delivered in a written opinion within the time period specified in
Section 8(b), (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Section 4 within ten days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, together with a statement reasonably evidencing the Expenses incurred by
Indemnitee, (v) payment of indemnification is not made within ten days after a determination of entitlement thereto has been made pursuant to Section 6 or deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 7, or (vi) the Board of
Directors unreasonably delays or withholds approval of a proposed settlement pursuant to Section 2, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication in any court of competent jurisdiction of Indemnitee’s entitlement to such indemnification
or advancement of Expenses or as to the reasonableness of the Board of Directors’ failure to approve the proposed settlement. Indemnitee shall commence any such proceeding seeking an adjudication within 180 days following the date on which
Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceedings pursuant to this Section 8(a). The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any adjudication. 
  

 4 

 (b) In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 6 that Indemnitee is
not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 8 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial on the merits and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse
determination. In any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 8, the presumption shall be that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification and the Company shall have the burden of proving that Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification or advancement of Expenses, or to approval of a proposed settlement, as the case may be. 
 (c) If a determination shall have
been made or deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 6 or 7 that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 8, absent
(i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) prohibition of such
indemnification under applicable law. 
 (d) The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to
this Section 8 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding or enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement. 
 (e) In the event Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 8, seeks a judicial adjudication to enforce Indemnitee’s rights under, or to recover
damages for breach of, this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the Company, and shall be indemnified by the Company against, any and all expenses of the types described in the definition of Expenses in Section 17 of this
Agreement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in such judicial adjudication, but only if Indemnitee prevails therein. If it shall be determined in said judicial adjudication that Indemnitee is entitled to receive part but not all of the
indemnification or advancement of expenses sought, such expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such judicial adjudication shall be appropriately prorated. 
 SECTION 9. Defense of the Underlying Proceeding. 
 (a) Indemnitee shall notify the Company reasonably
promptly upon being served with or receiving any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information, notice, request or other document relating to any Proceeding which may result in the right to indemnification or the advance of
Expenses hereunder; provided, however, that the failure to give any such notice shall not disqualify Indemnitee from the right, or otherwise affect in any manner any right of Indemnitee, to indemnification or the advance of Expenses
under this Agreement unless the Company’s ability to defend in such Proceeding or to obtain proceeds under any insurance policy is materially and adversely prejudiced thereby, and then only to the extent the Company is thereby actually so
prejudiced. 
 (b) If Indemnitee is not an officer of the Company, Indemnitee, together with the other directors who are not officers of the
Company (the “Outside Directors”), shall be entitled to employ, and be reimbursed for the fees and disbursements of, counsel separate from that chosen by indemnitees who are officers of the Company. The principal counsel for Outside
Directors (“Principal Counsel”) shall be determined by majority vote of the Outside Directors, and the principal counsel for the indemnitees who are not Outside Directors (“Separate Counsel”) shall be determined by majority vote
of such indemnitees. The obligation of the Company to reimburse Indemnitee for the fees and disbursements of counsel hereunder shall not extend to the fees and disbursements of any counsel employed by Indemnitee other than Principal Counsel or
Separate Counsel, as the case may be, provided that (i) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ Indemnitee’s counsel in any such Proceeding at Indemnitee’s expense and (ii) if (A) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee
has been previously authorized by the Company, (B)

  

 5 

 
Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded with the advice of counsel that there is a substantial possibility that Principal Counsel or Separate Counsel, as
the case may be, will have a conflict of interest in representing Indemnitee, or (C) the Company shall not continue to retain Principal Counsel or Separate Counsel, as the case may be, to defend such Proceeding, then the fees and expenses of
Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Company. 
 (c) If the Company fails to comply with any of its obligations under
this Agreement or in the event that the Company or any other person takes any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any Proceeding to deny or to recover from Indemnitee the benefits intended to be provided to
Indemnitee hereunder, Indemnitee shall have the right to retain counsel of Indemnitee’s choice, subject to the prior approval of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, at the expense of the Company (subject to
Section 10(d)), to represent Indemnitee in connection with any such matter. 
 SECTION 10. Non-Exclusivity; Survival of Rights;
Insurance; Subrogation. 
 (a) The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not
be deemed exclusive of any other rights, by indemnification or otherwise, to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Charter, the Bylaws, any agreement, a vote of the stockholders, a resolution of directors, or
otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or any provision hereof shall be effective as to Indemnitee with respect to any act or omission by Indemnitee prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. 
 (b) For so long as Indemnitee serves as a director and for a period thereafter so long as such director remains subject to liability under applicable
statutes of limitations, the Company will cause to be maintained in full force and effect insurance coverage for the benefit of the Company’s directors (including Indemnitee) in reasonable amounts substantially equivalent to the insurance
coverage maintained by similarly situated companies with established and reputable insurers. To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, officers, employees, 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, employees, agent or fiduciary under such policy or policies. Without in any way limiting any other obligation under this Agreement,
the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee for any payment by Indemnitee arising out of the amount of any deductible or retention and the amount of any excess of the aggregate of all judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and Expenses actually and
reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding over the coverage of any insurance referred to in the previous sentence. 
 (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. 
 (d)
The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or
otherwise. 
 SECTION 11. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Agreement for any reason is held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to Indemnitee in respect of any Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines or amounts paid in settlement referred to herein, then the Company, 

  

 6 

 
in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by Indemnitee as a result of such Expenses, judgments,
penalties, fines or amounts paid in settlement (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted
by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and Indemnitee in connection with the action or inaction which resulted
in such Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines or amounts paid in settlement, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. In connection with the registration of the Company’s securities, the relative benefits received by the Company
and Indemnitee shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions that the net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and Indemnitee, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the
applicable prospectus, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the securities so offered. The relative fault of the Company and Indemnitee shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or Indemnitee and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission. 
 The Company and Indemnitee agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to
this Section 11 were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. In connection with any
registration of the Company’s securities, in no event and notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 11 shall Indemnitee be required to contribute any amount hereunder in excess of the lesser of (i) that proportion of the
total of such Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines or amounts paid in settlement indemnified against equal to the proportion of the total securities sold under such registration statement that is being sold by Indemnitee or (ii) the proceeds
received by Indemnitee from its sale of securities under such registration statement. No person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not found guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 
 SECTION 12. Successors and Assigns.

 (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and
Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. 
 (b) The indemnification and advance of Expenses provided by, or granted pursuant
to, this Agreement shall be binding upon and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of
the business or assets of the Company), shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Company or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise which such person is or was serving at the written request of the Company, and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and his spouse, assigns, heirs, devisees, executors and administrators and other legal representatives.

 (c) 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. 
  

 7 

 SECTION 13. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be
invalid, illegal or 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 (b) 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 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 by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable. 
 SECTION 14. Exception to Right of Indemnification or
Advancement of Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Agreement with respect to any Proceeding, or any claim therein, brought
or made by Indemnitee against the Company or any of its directors. 
 SECTION 15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one
or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Only one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforceability is sought need be
produced to evidence the existence of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 16. Headings. The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are
inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof. 
 SECTION
17. Definitions. For the purposes of this Agreement: 
 (a) “Change in Control” means (i) any sale, merger,
consolidation or other form of business combination involving the Company if, following consummation thereof, the holders of the Company’s stock immediately prior to such consummation hold in the aggregate less than 50% of the combined voting
power of the acquiring or surviving entity; (ii) any sale of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company or its subsidiaries; (iii) any other transaction that results in the effective sale or other disposition of the principal
business and operations of the Company by its current owners; or (iv) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the Board of Directors of the Company (including for this purpose any
new director whose election or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of such period) cease for any reason to
constitute a majority of the Board of Directors. 
 (b) “Corporate Status” describes the status of a person who is or at any time
whether or not prior to the date of this Agreement was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, including such person’s status as a member of any committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. 
 (c) “Disinterested Director” means a director of the Company who is not and was not a party to the Proceeding in respect of which
indemnification is sought by Indemnitee. 
 (d) “Expenses” shall include all reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees,
retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of expert witnesses, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, and all other disbursements or expenses of the types customarily
