 INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 

This Indemnification Agreement, dated as of             ,
20    , is made by and between Real Goods Solar, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the “Corporation”) and             (the “Indemnitee”). 

RECITALS 

A. The Corporation recognizes that competent and experienced persons are increasingly reluctant to serve or to continue to serve as
directors or officers of corporations unless they are protected by comprehensive liability insurance or indemnification, or both, due to increased exposure to litigation costs and risks resulting from their service to such corporations, and due to
the fact that the exposure frequently bears no reasonable relationship to the compensation of such directors and officers; 
 B.
The statutes and judicial decisions regarding the duties of directors and officers are often difficult to apply, ambiguous, or conflicting, and therefore fail to provide such directors and officers with adequate, reliable knowledge of legal risks to
which they are exposed or information regarding the proper course of action to take; 
 C. The Corporation and Indemnitee
recognize that plaintiffs often seek damages in such large amounts and the costs of litigation may be so enormous (whether or not the case is meritorious), that the defense and/or settlement of such litigation is often beyond the personal resources
of directors and officers; 
 D. The Corporation believes that it is unfair for its directors and officers to assume the risk of
huge judgments and other expenses which may occur in cases in which the director or officer received no personal profit and in cases where the director or officer was not culpable; 

E. The Corporation, after reasonable investigation, has determined that the liability insurance coverage presently available to the
Corporation may be inadequate in certain circumstances to cover all possible exposure for which Indemnitee should be protected. The Corporation believes that the interests of the Corporation and its stockholders would best be served by a combination
of such insurance and the indemnification by the Corporation of the directors and officers of the Corporation; 
 F. The
Corporation’s ByLaws require the Corporation to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Colorado Business Corporations Act (the “Act”). The ByLaws expressly provide that the indemnification
provisions set forth therein are not exclusive, and contemplate that contracts may be entered into between the Corporation and its directors and officers with respect to indemnification; 

G. Section 7-109-102 of the Act, under which the Corporation is organized, empowers the Corporation to indemnify its officers,
directors, employees and agents by agreement and to indemnify persons who serve, at the request of the Corporation, as the directors, officers, employees or agents of other corporations or enterprises, and expressly provides that the indemnification
provided by Section 7-109-102 of the Act is not exclusive; 
 H. Section 7-108-402 of the Act allows a corporation to
include in its certificate of incorporation a provision limiting or eliminating the personal liability of a director for monetary damages in respect of claims by shareholders and corporations for breach of certain fiduciary duties, and the
Corporation has so provided in its Certificate of Incorporation that each Director shall be exculpated from such liability to the maximum extent permitted by law; 

 I. The Board of Directors has determined that contractual indemnification as set forth
herein is not only reasonable and prudent but also promotes the best interests of the Corporation and its stockholders; 
 J.
The Corporation desires and has requested Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve as a director or officer of the Corporation free from undue concern for unwarranted claims for damages arising out of or related to such services to the Corporation;
and 
 K. Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve or to provide additional service for or on behalf of the Corporation
on the condition that he is furnished the indemnity provided for herein. 
 AGREEMENT 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth below, and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 
 Section 1. Generally. 
 To the fullest extent permitted by the laws of
the State of Colorado: 
 (a) The Corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee if Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or while serving as a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent (which, for
purposes hereof, shall include a trustee, partner or manager or similar capacity) of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted
in such capacity or by reason of the imposition upon such officer or director of any federal and/or state income tax obligation (inclusive of any interest and penalties, if applicable), that is imposed on such officer or director with respect to
income, “phantom income,” rescinded or unconsummated transactions, or any other allegedly taxable event for which no benefit was received by such officer or director. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing indemnification obligation
includes, without limitation, claims for monetary damages against Indemnitee in respect of an alleged breach of fiduciary duties, to the fullest extent permitted under Section 7-109-102 of the Act as in existence on the date hereof. 

(b) The indemnification provided by this Section 1 shall be from and against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, but shall only be provided if Indemnitee acted in good
faith and (i) in the case of conduct in an official capacity with the corporation, that such conduct was in the corporation’s best interests and (ii) in all other cases, that such conduct was at least not opposed to the
corporation’s best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action, suit or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1, in the case of any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its
favor by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or while serving as a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, 

 
employee benefit plan or other enterprise, no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the
Corporation unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper. 
 (d) The termination of any action,
suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in accordance with the standards set forth in
Section 1(b). 
 Section 2. Successful Defense; Partial Indemnification. To the extent that Indemnitee
has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 1 hereof or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against expenses (including
attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. For purposes of this Agreement and without limiting the foregoing, if any action, suit or proceeding is disposed of, on the merits or otherwise (including a disposition
without prejudice), without (i) the disposition being adverse to Indemnitee, (ii) an adjudication that Indemnitee was liable to the Corporation, (iii) a plea of guilty or nolo contendere by Indemnitee, (iv) an adjudication that
Indemnitee did not act in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 1(b), and (v) with respect to any criminal proceeding, an adjudication that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was
unlawful, Indemnitee shall be considered for the purposes hereof to have been wholly successful with respect thereto. 
 If
Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Corporation for some or a portion of the expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with any action, suit, proceeding or investigation, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, and any appeal therefrom but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the
Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement to which Indemnitee is entitled. 

Section 3. Determination That Indemnification Is Proper. Any indemnification hereunder shall (unless otherwise ordered by a
court) be made by the Corporation unless a determination is made that indemnification of such person is not proper in the circumstances because he or she has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1(b) hereof. Any such
determination shall be made (i) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to the action, suit or proceeding in question (“disinterested directors”), even if less than a quorum, (ii) by a majority vote of a committee
of disinterested directors designated by majority vote of disinterested directors, even if less than a quorum, (iii) by a majority vote of a quorum of the outstanding shares of stock of all classes entitled to vote on the matter, voting as a
single class, which quorum shall consist of stockholders who are not at that time parties to the action, suit or proceeding in question, (iv) by independent legal counsel, or (v) by a court of competent jurisdiction. 

Section 4. Advance Payment of Expenses; Notification and Defense of Claim. 

(a) Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Indemnitee in defending a threatened or pending civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with an enforcement action pursuant to Section 5(b), shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding within thirty
(30) days after receipt by the Corporation of (i) a statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, and (ii) an undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay such amount or amounts,
only if, and to the extent that, it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized by this Agreement or otherwise. Such undertaking shall be accepted without reference to the
financial ability of Indemnitee to make such repayment. Advances shall be unsecured and interest-free. 

 (b) Promptly after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any action, suit
or proceeding, Indemnitee shall, if a claim thereof is to be made against the Corporation hereunder, notify the Corporation of the commencement thereof. The failure to promptly notify the Corporation of the commencement of the action, suit or
proceeding, or Indemnitee’s request for indemnification, will not relieve the Corporation from any liability that it may have to Indemnitee hereunder, except to the extent the Corporation is prejudiced in its defense of such action, suit or
proceeding as a result of such failure. 
 (c) In the event the Corporation shall be obligated to pay the expenses of Indemnitee
with respect to an action, suit or proceeding, as provided in this Agreement, the Corporation, if appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the defense of such action, suit or proceeding, with counsel reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee, upon the
delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election to do so. After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Corporation, the Corporation will not be liable to Indemnitee under
this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same action, suit or proceeding, provided that (1) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ Indemnitee’s own counsel in such action, suit or
proceeding at Indemnitee’s expense and (2) if (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized in writing by the Corporation, (ii) counsel to the Corporation or Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded
that there may be a conflict of interest or position, or reasonably believes that a conflict is likely to arise, on any significant issue between the Corporation and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense or (iii) the Corporation shall
not, in fact, have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, suit or proceeding, then the fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Corporation, except as otherwise expressly provided by this
Agreement. The Corporation shall not be entitled, without the consent of Indemnitee, to assume the defense of any claim brought by or in the right of the Corporation or as to which counsel for the Corporation or Indemnitee shall have reasonably made
the conclusion provided for in clause (ii) above. 
 (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s corporate status with respect to the Corporation or any corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which Indemnitee is or was
serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation, a witness or otherwise participates in any action, suit or proceeding at a time when Indemnitee is not a party in the action, suit or proceeding, the Corporation shall indemnify
Indemnitee against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith. 
 Section 5. Procedure for Indemnification 
 (a) To obtain
indemnification, Indemnitee shall promptly submit to the Corporation 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 Corporation shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board of Directors in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification. 

(b) The Corporation’s determination whether to grant Indemnitee’s indemnification request shall be made promptly, and in any
event within 60 days following receipt of a request for indemnification pursuant to Section 5(a). The right to indemnification as granted by Section 1 of this Agreement shall be enforceable by Indemnitee in any court of competent
jurisdiction if the Corporation denies such request, in whole or in part, or fails to respond within such 60-day period. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for the advance of costs, charges and
expenses under Section 4 hereof where the required 

 
undertaking, if any, has been received by the Corporation) that Indemnitee has not met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 hereof, but the burden of proving such defense by clear
and convincing evidence shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or one of its committees, its independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the
commencement of such action that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 hereof, nor the fact that there has been an actual determination
by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or one of its committees, its independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a
presumption that Indemnitee has or has not met the applicable standard of conduct. The Indemnitee’s expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with successfully establishing Indemnitee’s right to indemnification, in
whole or in part, in any such proceeding or otherwise shall also be indemnified by the Corporation. 
 (c) The Indemnitee shall
be presumed to be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement upon submission of a request for indemnification pursuant to this Section 5, and the Corporation shall have the burden of proof in overcoming that presumption in reaching a
determination contrary to that presumption. Such presumption shall be used as a basis for a determination of entitlement to indemnification unless the Corporation overcomes such presumption by clear and convincing evidence. 

Section 6. Insurance and Subrogation. 
 (a) The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of Indemnitee who is or was or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted against, and incurred by,
Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in any such capacity, or arising out of Indemnitee’s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify Indemnitee against such liability under the provisions of this
Agreement. If the Corporation has such insurance in effect at the time the Corporation receives from Indemnitee any notice of the commencement of a proceeding, the Corporation shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the
insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the policy. The Corporation shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such
proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policy. 
 (b) In the event of any payment by the Corporation under this
Agreement, the Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee with respect to any insurance policy, 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 Corporation to bring suit to enforce such rights in accordance with the terms of such insurance policy. The Corporation shall pay or reimburse all expenses actually and
reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such subrogation. 
 (c) The Corporation shall not be liable under this
Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually
received such payment under this Agreement or any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise. 
 Section 7.
Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions shall apply: 
 (a) The term “action,
suit or proceeding” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, the investigation, preparation, prosecution, defense, settlement, arbitration and appeal of, and the giving of testimony in, any threatened, pending or
completed claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative. 

 (b) The term “by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the Corporation, or while serving as a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, any actual or alleged act or omission to act. 

(c) The term “expenses” shall be broadly and reasonably construed and shall include, without limitation, all direct and
indirect costs of any type or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, all attorneys’ fees and related disbursements, appeal bonds, other out-of-pocket costs and reasonable compensation for time spent by Indemnitee for which Indemnitee
is not otherwise compensated by the Corporation or any third party, provided that the rate of compensation and estimated time involved is approved by the Board, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), actually and reasonably incurred by
Indemnitee in connection with either the investigation, defense or appeal of a proceeding or establishing or enforcing a right to indemnification under this Agreement, Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Colorado or
otherwise. 
 (d) The term “judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement” shall be broadly construed and shall
include, without limitation, all direct and indirect payments of any type or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, all penalties and amounts required to be forfeited or reimbursed to the Corporation), as well as any penalties or excise
taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan). 
 (e) The term “Corporation” shall include,
without limitation and in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and
authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as
a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the resulting or
surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. 
 (f) The term “other enterprises” shall include, without limitation, employee benefit plans. 
 (g) The term “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include, without limitation, any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or
involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries. 
 (h) A person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted
in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in this Agreement. 

Section 8. Limitation on Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, the Corporation shall
not be obligated pursuant to this Agreement: 
 (a) Claims Initiated by Indemnitee. To indemnify or advance expenses to
Indemnitee with respect to an action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by Indemnitee, except with respect to an 

 
action, suit or proceeding brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification (which shall be governed by the provisions of Section 8(b) of this Agreement), unless such action, suit
or proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. 
 (b) Action
for Indemnification. To indemnify Indemnitee for any expenses incurred by Indemnitee with respect to any action, suit or proceeding instituted by Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement, unless Indemnitee is successful in establishing
Indemnitee’s right to indemnification in such action, suit or proceeding, in whole or in part, or unless and to the extent that the court in such action, suit or proceeding shall determine that, despite Indemnitee’s failure to establish
their right to indemnification, Indemnitee is entitled to indemnity for such expenses; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8(b) is intended to limit the Corporation’s obligation with respect to the advancement of expenses to
Indemnitee in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding instituted by Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement, as provided in Section 4 hereof. 
 (c) Section 16 Violations. To indemnify Indemnitee on account of any proceeding with respect to which final judgment is rendered against Indemnitee for payment or an accounting of profits
arising from the purchase or sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any similar successor statute. 

(d) Non-compete and Non-disclosure. To indemnify Indemnitee in connection with proceedings or claims involving the enforcement of
non-compete and/or non-disclosure agreements or the non-compete and/or non-disclosure provisions of employment, consulting or similar agreements the Indemnitee may be a party to with the Corporation, or any subsidiary of the Corporation or any other
applicable foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, if any. 
 Section 9.
Certain Settlement Provisions. The Corporation shall have no obligation to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement for amounts paid in settlement of any action, suit or proceeding without the Corporation’s prior written consent, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Corporation shall not settle any action, suit or proceeding in any manner that would impose any fine or other obligation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s prior written consent, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld. 
 Section 10. Savings Clause. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be
invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with
respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including an action by or in the right of the Corporation, to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Agreement that shall not
have been invalidated and to the full extent permitted by applicable law. 
 Section 11. Contribution. In order to
provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for herein is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to Indemnitee in whole or in part, it is agreed that, in such event, the
Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, contribute to the payment of Indemnitee’s costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit
or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in an amount that is just and equitable in the circumstances, taking into account, among other things, contributions by other directors and officers of the Corporation or
others pursuant to indemnification agreements or otherwise; provided, that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such contribution shall not be required where such holding by the court is due to (i) the failure of Indemnitee to
meet the standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 hereof, or (ii) any limitation on indemnification set forth in Section 6(c), 8 or 9 hereof. 

 Section 12. Form and Delivery of Communications. Any notice, request or other
communication required or permitted to be given to the parties under this Agreement shall be in writing and either delivered in person or sent by telecopy, telex, telegram, overnight mail or courier service, or certified or registered mail, return
receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the parties at the following addresses (or at such other addresses for a party as shall be specified by like notice): 
 If to the Corporation: 
 Real Goods Solar, Inc. 

833 West South Boulder Rd 
 Louisville, CO 80027-2452 
 Attn: General Counsel 

Facsimile: 303-648-4306 
 If to Indemnitee: 

                      
                               

                      
                               

                      
                               

Section 13. Subsequent Legislation. If the Act is amended after adoption of this Agreement (i) to expand further the
indemnification permitted to directors or officers, then the Corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by the Act, as so amended or (ii) to limit the indemnification permitted to directors or officers, then the
Corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted under this Agreement and applicable law as if such limitation shall not have been enacted. 
 Section 14. Nonexclusivity. The provisions for indemnification and advancement of expenses set forth in this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights which Indemnitee may
have under any provision of law, the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation or ByLaws, in any court in which a proceeding is brought, the vote of the Corporation’s stockholders or disinterested directors, other agreements or otherwise,
and Indemnitee’s rights hereunder shall continue after Indemnitee has ceased acting as an agent of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of Indemnitee. However, no amendment or alteration of
the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation or ByLaws or any other agreement shall adversely affect the rights provided to Indemnitee under this Agreement. 
 Section 15. Enforcement. The Corporation shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and
enforceable. The Corporation agrees that its execution of this Agreement shall constitute a stipulation by which it shall be irrevocably bound in any court of competent jurisdiction in which a proceeding by Indemnitee for enforcement of his rights
hereunder shall have been commenced, continued or appealed, that its obligations set forth in this Agreement are unique and special, and that failure of the Corporation to comply with the provisions of this Agreement will cause irreparable and
irremediable injury to Indemnitee, for which a remedy at law will be inadequate. As a result, in addition to any other right or remedy Indemnitee may have at law or in equity with respect to breach of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to
injunctive or mandatory relief directing specific performance by the Corporation of its obligations under this Agreement. 

Section 16. Interpretation of Agreement. It is understood that the parties hereto intend this Agreement to be interpreted and
enforced so as to provide indemnification to Indemnitee to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by law. 

 Section 17. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents expressly
referred to herein constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the matters covered hereby, and any other prior or contemporaneous oral or written understandings or agreements with respect to the matters covered hereby
are expressly superceded by this Agreement. 
 Section 18. Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification 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 provision hereof (whether or not
similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver. 
 Section 19. Successor and Assigns. All of the
terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. The
Corporation shall require and cause any direct or indirect successor (whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Corporation, by written agreement in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporation would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. 

Section 20. Service of Process and Venue. For purposes of any claims or proceedings to enforce this agreement, the
Corporation consents to the jurisdiction and venue of any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Colorado, and waives and agrees not to raise any defense that any such court is an inconvenient forum or any similar claim.

 Section 21. Supercedes Prior Agreement. This Agreement supercedes any prior indemnification agreement between
Indemnitee and the Corporation or its predecessors. 
 Section 22. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed
exclusively by and construed according to the laws of the State of Colorado, as applied to contracts between Colorado residents entered into and to be performed entirely within Colorado. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall make a final
determination that the provisions of the law of any state other than Colorado govern indemnification by the Corporation of its officers and directors, then the indemnification provided under this Agreement shall in all instances be enforceable to
the fullest extent permitted under such law, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary. 

Section 23. Employment Rights. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to create in Indemnitee any right to employment or
continued employment. 
 Section 24. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument, notwithstanding that both parties are not signatories to the original or same counterpart. 

Section 25. Headings. The section and subsection headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and
shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered to be effective as of the date first above written.

 Exhibit 10.1 
  

 
 A NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION GRANT (hereinafter the “Option”) for the number of shares of Nordstrom Common Stock
(“Common Stock”), as noted in the 2013 Notice of Grant of Stock Options (the “Notice”), of Nordstrom, Inc., a Washington Corporation (the “Company”), is hereby granted to the Recipient (“Optionee”) on
the date set forth in the Notice, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Option is also subject to the terms, definitions and provisions of the Nordstrom, Inc. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) adopted by the
Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and approved by the Company’s shareholders, which is incorporated in this Agreement. To the extent inconsistent with this Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall govern. Terms not defined
herein shall have the meanings as set forth in the Plan. The Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) has the discretionary authority to construe and interpret the Plan and this Agreement. All decisions of the
Compensation Committee upon any question arising under the Plan or under this Agreement shall be final and binding on all parties. The Option is subject to the following terms and conditions: 

 

	1.	OPTION PRICE 

 The option price is one hundred
percent (100%) of the fair market value of Common Stock as determined by the closing price of Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant. For this purpose, the date of grant is indicated in the Notice and reflects either
the date the Compensation Committee approves the grant, or if this date falls within a closed trading period, the first trading day thereafter that falls within an open trading window. 

 

	2.	VESTING AND EXERCISING OF OPTION 

 Except as set
forth in Section 5, the Option shall vest and be exercisable pursuant to the terms of the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice. 
  

	 	(a)	Method of Exercise. The Option shall be exercisable (only to the extent vested) by a written notice in a form prescribed by the Company that shall: 

 

	 	(i)	state the election to exercise the Option, the number of shares, the total option price, and the name and address of the Optionee; 

 

	 	(ii)	be signed by the person entitled to exercise the Option; and 

  

	 	(iii)	be in writing and delivered to Nordstrom Leadership Benefits (either directly or through a broker). 

The Company has made arrangements with a broker for Option management and exercises. 

 

	 	(b)	Payment upon Exercise. Payment of the option price for any shares with respect to which an Option is being exercised shall be by: 

 

	 	(i)	check or bank wire transfer, or 

  

	 	(ii)	giving an irrevocable direction for a broker approved by the Company to sell all or part of the Option shares and to deliver to the Company from the sale proceeds an amount
sufficient to pay the option price and any amount required to be withheld to meet the Company’s minimum statutory withholding requirements, including the employee’s share of payroll taxes. (The balance of the sale proceeds, if any, will be
delivered to the Optionee.) 

 The certificate(s) or shares of Common Stock as to which

 
the Option shall be exercised shall be registered in the name of the person(s) exercising the Option unless another person is specified. An Option hereunder may not at any time be exercised for a
fractional number of shares. 
  

	 	(c)	Restrictions on Exercise. The Option may not be exercised if the issuance of the shares upon such exercise would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state
securities or other law or valid regulation, or the Company’s Insider Trading Policy. As a condition to the exercise of the Option, the Company may require the person exercising the Option to make any representation and warranty to the Company
as the Company’s counsel advises and as may be required by the Company or by any applicable law or regulation. 

  

	3.	ACCEPTANCE OF OPTION 

 Although the Company may or
may not require the Optionee’s signature upon accepting the grant, the Optionee remains subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
  

	4.	NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION 

 The Option may not
be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner except in the event of the Optionee’s death. In the event of the Optionee’s death, the Options may be transferred to the person indicated on a valid Nordstrom Beneficiary Designation
form, or if no Beneficiary Designation form is on file with the Company, then to the person to whom the Optionee’s rights have passed by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Except as set forth in Section 5 below, the Option may
be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee or by the guardian or legal representative of the Optionee. The terms of the Option shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs and successors of the Optionee.

  

	5.	SEPARATION OF EMPLOYMENT 

 Except as set forth
below, a vested Option may only be exercised while the Optionee is an employee of the Company. If an Optionee’s employment is terminated, the Optionee or his or her legal representative shall have the right to exercise the Option after such
termination as follows: 
  

	 	(a)	 If the Optionee dies while employed by the Company, the recipient named on the Optionee’s Beneficiary Designation form may exercise such rights. If no
Beneficiary

 Exhibit 10.1 

 

	 	
Designation form is on file with the Company, then the person to whom the Optionee’s rights have passed by will or the laws of descent and distribution may exercise such rights. If the
Option was granted at least six months prior to the death of the Optionee while employed by the Company, it shall immediately vest and may be exercised during the period ending four years after the Optionee’s death. In no event may the Option
be exercised more than 10 years from the date of grant. If the Option was granted less than six months prior to death, such Option shall be forfeited as of the date of death. 

 

	 	(b)	If the Optionee is separated due to his or her disability, as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the
Option, if granted at least six months prior to such separation and the Optionee provides Nordstrom Leadership Benefits with reasonable documentation of the Optionee’s disability, shall immediately vest and may be exercised during the period
ending four years after separation. In no event may the Option be exercised more than 10 years from the date of grant. If the Option was granted less than six months prior to separation due to the Optionee’s disability, such Option shall be
forfeited as of the date of separation. 

  

	 	(c)	If the Optionee is separated due to retirement between the ages of 53 and 57 with 10 continuous years of service to the Company from the most recent hire date, or upon attaining
age 58, the Option, if granted at least six months prior to such retirement, shall continue to vest and may be exercised during the period ending four years after separation. In no event may the Option be exercised more than 10 years from the date
of grant. If the Option was granted less than six months prior to retirement, such Option shall be forfeited as of the date of separation. 

  

	 	(d)	If the Optionee’s employment is terminated due to his or her embezzlement or theft of Company funds, defraudation of the Company, violation of Company rules, regulations or
policies, or any intentional act that harms the Company, such Option, to the extent not exercised as of the date of termination, shall be forfeited as of that date. 

 

	 	(e)	If the Optionee is separated for any reason other than those set forth in subparagraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) above, the Optionee (or Optionee’s beneficiary) may
exercise his or her Option, to the extent vested as of the date of his or her separation, within 100 days after separation. In no event may the Option be exercised more than 10 years from the date of grant. Any unvested options will be forfeited as
of the date of separation. 

 Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, if at any time during the Optionee’s
employment or in the period during which the Option is exercisable, the Optionee directly or indirectly, either as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, shareholder, corporate officer, director or in any other capacity,
engages or assists any third party in engaging in any business competitive with the Company; divulges any confidential or proprietary information of the Company to a third party who is not authorized by the Company to receive the confidential or

 
proprietary information; or improperly uses any confidential or proprietary information of the Company, then the post-separation vesting and exercise rights of the Option set forth above shall
cease immediately, and all outstanding vested and unvested portions of the Option shall be forfeited. 
  

	6.	TERM OF OPTION 

 The Option may not be exercised
more than 10 years from the date of grant of the Option, and the vested portion of such Option may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of the Option. 

 

	7.	ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION 

 The
number and kind of shares of Common Stock subject to the Option shall be appropriately adjusted, pursuant to the Plan, along with a corresponding adjustment in the option price to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, split-up, extraordinary
dividend distribution, or any combination or exchange of shares, however accomplished. 
  

	8.	ADDITIONAL OPTIONS 

 The Compensation Committee may
or may not grant the Optionee additional Options in the future. Nothing in this Option or any future grant should be construed as suggesting that additional grants to the Optionee will be forthcoming. 

 

	9.	LEAVES OF ABSENCE 

 For purposes of the Option, the
Optionee’s service does not terminate due to a military leave, a medical leave or another bona fide leave of absence if the leave was approved by the Company in writing and if continued crediting of service is required by the terms of the leave
or by applicable law. But, service terminates when the approved leave ends unless the Optionee immediately returns to active work. 
 If
the Optionee goes on a leave of absence approved by the Company, then the vesting schedule specified in the Notice may be adjusted in accordance with the Company’s leave of absence policy or the terms of the leave. 

 

	10.	TAX WITHHOLDING 

 In the event that the Company
determines that it is required to withhold any tax as a result of the exercise of the Option, the Optionee, as a condition to the exercise of their Option, shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to enable it to satisfy all withholding
requirements. 
  

	11.	RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER 

 Neither the Optionee nor
the Optionee’s beneficiary or representative shall have any rights as a shareholder with respect to any Common Stock subject to the Option, unless and until (i) the Optionee or the Optionee’s beneficiary or representative becomes
entitled to receive such Common Stock by filing a notice of exercise and paying the option price pursuant to the Option, and (ii) the Optionee or Optionee’s beneficiary or representative has satisfied any other requirement imposed by
applicable law or the Plan. 
  

	12.	NO RETENTION RIGHTS 

 Nothing in the Option or in
the Plan shall give the Optionee the right to be retained by the Company (or a subsidiary of the Company) as an employee or in any capacity. The Company and its subsidiaries reserve the right to terminate the Optionee’s service at any time,
with or without cause.

 Exhibit 10.1 

 

	13.	CLAWBACK POLICY 

 The Option, and any proceeds
(Common Stock or cash) received in connection with the exercise of the Option or subsequent sale of such issued Common Stock, shall be subject to the Clawback Policy adopted by the Company’s Board, as amended from time to time. 

In the event the Clawback Policy is deemed unenforceable with respect to the Option, or with respect to the proceeds received in connection with
the exercise of the Option or subsequent sale of such issued Common Stock, then the Option grant subject to this Agreement shall be deemed unenforceable due to lack of adequate consideration. 

 

	14.	ENTIRE AGREEMENT 

 The Notice, this Agreement and
the Plan constitute the entire contract between the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter hereof. They supersede any other agreements, representations or understandings (whether oral or written and whether express or implied) that relate
to the subject matter hereof. 
 This Agreement may not be modified or amended, except for a unilateral amendment by the Company that
does not materially adversely affect the rights of the Optionee under this Agreement. No party to this Agreement may unilaterally waive any provision hereof, except in writing. Any such

 
modification, amendment or waiver signed by, or binding upon, the Optionee, shall be valid and binding upon any and all persons or entities who may, at any time, have or claim any rights under or
pursuant to this Agreement. 
  

	15.	CHOICE OF LAW 

 This Agreement shall be governed
by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Washington, as such laws are applied to contracts entered into and performed in such State. 
  

	16.	SEVERABILITY 

 If any provision of this Agreement
shall be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to such provision and shall not in any manner affect or render invalid or unenforceable any other severable provision of this Agreement, and this Agreement
shall be carried out as if such invalid or unenforceable provision were not contained herein. 
  

	17.	CODE SECTION 409A 

 The Company reserves the right,
to the extent the Company deems reasonable or necessary in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify this Agreement as may be necessary to ensure that all vesting or delivery of Common Stock provided under this Agreement is made in a
manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code, together with regulatory guidance issued thereunder.
