Resources, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the “Company”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Synergy Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Glenn Smith (the “Executive”), and will become effective upon
the closing of the transactions contemplated by that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of May     , 2011 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) by and among, Parent, the Company and the Company Shareholders. The date
of such closing is herein referred to as the “Effective Date.” Capitalized terms used, and not otherwise defined, herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Stock Purchase Agreement. 

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Executive and certain other individuals own all of the outstanding shares of capital stock in GTRI;

 WHEREAS, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Parent will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of the
capital stock of GTRI; 
 WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the obligation of Parent and Company to consummate the
transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement that the Executive enter into and be bound by an employment agreement with the Company; 
 WHEREAS, Executive desires to have assurances of continued employment after the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement and neither Executive nor GTRI would have executed the Stock Purchase Agreement
without such assurances. 
 WHEREAS, in consideration of the transaction contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, the
payment of the Consideration, and the continued employment to the Executive, the Company wishes to be assured that the Executive will not compete with the Company and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Company Group”) during the period
described herein; 
 WHEREAS, the Executive expressly acknowledges and recognizes that only by virtue of his employment with the
Company he will be privy to the Company Group’s confidential and proprietary business and customer/client information, to which the Executive would otherwise not have access, and that such information constitutes a valuable and protectable
interest of the Company Group; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive acknowledge and agree that, the Company will only
agree to provide employment to the Executive in consideration for the terms and conditions set forth in this Employment Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 
  

	1)	Duties and Scope of Employment. 

  

	 	a)	Position and Duties. Executive will serve as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer. Executive will continue to render such business and professional
services in the performance of Executive’s duties, consistent with Executive’s position within the Company, as will reasonably be assigned to him by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) , the Board of Directors of
Parent (the “Parent Board”), the Company’s President (the “President”) or the Chief Executive Officer of Parent (the “CEO”). In such capacity, the Executive shall perform such services and duties in connection with
the business, affairs and operations of the Company as may be assigned or delegated to the Executive from time to time by or under the authority of the Board, the Parent Board, the President or the CEO. All duties assigned to Executive shall be
generally consistent with those he provided to GTRI prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement and generally consistent with the functional position of a chief operating officer, and not in violation of
applicable law or established Company policies. 

	 	b)	Extent of Service. During the Executive’s employment under this Agreement, the Executive shall, subject to the direction and supervision of the Board, the
Parent Board, the President and the CEO, devote the Executive’s full business time, best efforts and business judgment, skill and knowledge to the advancement of the Company’s interests and to the discharge of the Executive’s duties
and responsibilities under this Agreement. The Executive shall not engage in any other business activity, except as may be approved by the Board or the CEO; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as preventing the
Executive from: 

  

	 	i)	investing the Executive’s assets in any company or other entity in a manner not prohibited by Section 9(d) hereof; 

 

	 	ii)	holding shares of the capital stock of Relevant Security Corp., a Colorado corporation (“RSC”) and/or equity securities of Relevance Networks, LLC, a Colorado
limited liability company (“Relevance”) and serving as an officer and/or director of RSC and as a manager of Relevance provided that serving as such does not require more than 10 hours, in the aggregate, per month and does not impair the
Executive’s ability to fulfill the Executive’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement; or 

  

	 	iii)	engaging in religious, charitable or other community or non-profit activities that do not impair the Executive’s ability to fulfill the Executive’s
duties and responsibilities under this Agreement. 

  

	2)	At-Will Employment. The parties agree that Executive’s employment with the Company will be “at-will” employment and may be terminated by either
the Company or Executive at any time with or without cause or notice. Executive understands and agrees that neither Executive’s job performance nor promotions, commendations, bonuses or the like from the Company give rise to or in any way serve
as the basis for modification, amendment, or extension, by implication or otherwise, of the at- will nature of Executive’s employment with the Company. However, as described in this Agreement, Executive may be entitled to severance benefits
depending on the circumstances of Executive’s termination of employment with the Company. 

  

	3)	Term of Agreement. This Agreement will have an initial term (the “Initial Term”) of three (3) years from the Effective Date, unless earlier
terminated in accordance with this Agreement, and may be renewed or extended by agreement of the parties. The Initial Term and any renewal or extension hereof are referred to herein as the “Term.” If Executive becomes entitled to severance
benefits pursuant to Section 5 hereof, this Agreement will not terminate until all of the obligations under this Agreement have been satisfied. 

  

	4)	Compensation. 

  

	 	a)	Base Salary. During the Term, the Company will pay Executive an annual salary of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00) as compensation for
Executive’s services (the “Base Salary”). The Base Salary will be paid periodically in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices for its senior executives. Executive’s salary will be subject to review and
possible increase based upon the Company’s normal performance review practices. 

  

	 	b)	Bonus. The Company will maintain a bonus plan providing for potential annual bonuses for Executive up to 100% of Executive’s Base Salary. The parameters for
earning such bonus each year shall be agreed upon in advance by Company and Executive. Executive will be eligible to participate in any other bonus plans or programs maintained from time to time by the Parent for the Company Group on such terms and
conditions as determined by the Parent Board or the Compensation Committee of the Parent Board (the “Committee”). 

  
 2 

	 	c)	Equity Awards. Executive will be eligible to receive awards of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights,
performance units and performance shares or other equity awards pursuant to any plans or arrangements that Parent may have in effect from time to time. The Board, the Parent Board or the Committee will determine in its discretion whether Executive
will be granted any such equity awards and its terms in accordance with the terms of any applicable plan or arrangement that may be in effect from time to time. 

 

	 	d)	Employee Benefits. Executive will be entitled to participate in the employee benefit plans including, without limitation, medical insurance plans, life insurance
plans, disability insurance plans, expense reimbursement plans and other benefits plans as may be currently or hereafter maintained by the Company of general applicability to other senior executives of the Company. Such participation shall be
subject to the terms of the applicable plan documents, generally applicable policies of the Company, applicable law and the discretion of the Board, the Parent Board, the President and the CEO or any administrative committee or other committee
provided for in or contemplated by any such plan. Each of the Company and Parent reserve the right to cancel or change the benefit plans and programs it offers to its employees at any time, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed
to create any obligation on the part of the Company or Parent to establish any such plan or to maintain the effectiveness of any such plan which may be in effect from time to time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, at no
time shall the benefits provided by Company to Executive be any less beneficial or more costly (on a percentage basis) in any material respect to Executive than the benefits provided to him by the Company immediately prior to the closing of the
transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement (including, without limitation, health, life, and disability insurance coverage). 

  

	 	e)	Vacation. Executive will continue to be entitled to twenty (20) days of paid vacation each year, which shall accrue in accordance with the Company’s
vacation policy for senior executive officers, with the timing and duration of specific vacations mutually and reasonably agreed to by the parties hereto. Upon Executive’s termination of employment, Executive will be entitled to receive
Executive’s accrued but unpaid vacation through the date of Executive’s termination. 

  

	 	f)	Taxation of Payments and Benefits. The Company shall undertake to make deductions, withholdings and tax reports with respect to payments and benefits under this
Agreement to the extent that it reasonably and in good faith believes that it is required to make such deductions, withholdings and tax reports. Payments under this Agreement shall be in amounts net of any such deductions and withholdings. Nothing
in this Agreement shall be construed to require the Company to make any payments to compensate the Executive for any adverse tax effect associated with any payments or benefits or for any deductions or withholding from any payment or benefit.

  

	 	g)	Exclusivity of Compensation and Benefits. The Executive shall not be entitled to any payments or benefits other than those provided under this Agreement.

  

	 	h)	Expenses. The Company will reimburse Executive for reasonable travel, entertainment or other expenses incurred by Executive in the furtherance of or in
connection with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder, in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy as in effect from time to time. 

  
 3 

	5)	Termination and Termination Benefits. The provisions of Section 3 above notwithstanding, the Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall
terminate under the following circumstances: 

  

	 	a)	Termination by the Company for Cause. The Executive’s employment under this Agreement may be terminated for Cause without further liability of the Company
effective immediately upon a vote of the Board and written notice to the Executive. For the purposes hereof, the following shall constitute “Cause” hereunder: 

 

	 	i)	commission, admission, confession, indictment, plea bargain or plea of nolo contendere by the Executive with respect to (A) a felony or (B) any misdemeanor
involving moral turpitude, deceit, dishonesty or fraud (“indictment” for these purposes, meaning an indictment, probable cause hearing or any other procedure pursuant to which an initial determination of probable or reasonable cause with
respect to such offense is made); 

  

	 	ii)	use of alcohol or illegal drugs interfering with the Executive’s obligations hereunder, continuing after written notice given to the Executive by the Board;

  

	 	iii)	negligence (other than by reason of Disability) with respect to the performance of Executive’s duties and responsibilities which continues for thirty
(30) days after written notice by the Company or Parent setting forth in reasonable detail the scope and nature of such negligent performance; 

  

	 	iv)	gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Executive with respect the performance of Executive’s duties and responsibilities; or 

 

	 	v)	any breach by the Executive of any of the Executive’s material obligations under this Agreement, any material policy of the Company of general applicability to all
executive staff (including, without limitation, the Company’s policies regarding disclosure of confidential information) or any other material agreement between or among Executive and the Company. 

 

	 	b)	Termination by the Executive for Good Reason. The Executive’s employment under this Agreement may be terminated by the Executive for Good Reason effective
immediately upon written notice to the Company, in which event the Executive shall be entitled to the Termination Benefits described in Section 5(c) below. For the purposes hereof, only the following shall constitute “Good Reason”:

  

	 	i)	any material breach by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation, any failure by the Company to comply with any provision of
Section 4 hereof in any material respect; 

  

	 	ii)	any unconsented material diminution in the Executive’s title, duties, reporting relationship, authority, or responsibilities or any decrease in Base Salary (unless
the base salaries of all other similarly situated executive employees of the Company Group are similarly reduced and is less than twenty percent (20%) of Executive’s Base Salary); 

 

	 	iii)	a sale by Parent of more than fifty percent of the voting capital stock of the Company, or a sale of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company;

  

	 	iv)	the relocation of the Company’s principal executive offices more than fifty (50) miles from the location of such principal offices immediately prior to such
relocation; 

 provided, however, that Executive will not resign for Good Reason without first providing the
Company with written notice of the acts or omissions constituting the grounds for “Good Reason” and a cure period of thirty (30) days following the date of such notice. 

  
 4 

	 	c)	Termination other than for Cause, Death or Disability. During the Term, if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company or Parent other than for
Cause, death or disability, or by the Executive for Good Reason then, subject to Section 6 below, Executive will receive the following severance from the Company: 

 

	 	i)	Severance Payment. The Company (A) for a period of twelve (12) months after the effective date (the “Termination Date”) of such termination,
will continue to pay the Executive the Base Salary at the rate in effect immediately prior to such termination (but, in the case of a termination by Executive for Good Reason, disregarding any reduction in Base Salary that was the basis of such Good
Reason) and (B) at the end of such twelve-month period pay to Executive a pro-rated amount of Executive’s bonus for the year in which the termination occurs (adjusted as appropriate based on the extent to which any applicable performance
objectives have then been achieved and the relative weightings thereof, each as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board, the Parent Board or the Committee acting in good faith). 

 

	 	ii)	Continued Group Health Benefits. The Company shall provide the Executive with group health benefits for the Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents
pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), in accordance with the Company’s policies immediately prior to the Termination Date (subject to the requirements of the last sentence of
Section 4(d)) until the first to occur of (i) the date which is twelve (12) months after the Termination Date and (ii) the date upon which Executive and/or Executive’s eligible dependents are covered under similar plans. The
Company shall also provide the Executive with information and access to enable the Executive to continue COBRA coverage thereafter for the maximum permitted period at the Executive’s expense; provided that during any period when the Executive
is eligible to receive any such benefits under another employer-provided plan or a government plan, the group health benefits provided by the Company hereunder may be made secondary to those provided under such other plan. 

 

	 	d)	Termination for Cause, Death or Disability; Resignation without Good Reason. If Executive’s employment with the Company (or another member of the Company
Group) is terminated voluntarily by Executive (except a resignation for Good Reason), for Cause by the Company or due to Executive’s death or Disability, then (i) all vesting with respect to Executive’s outstanding equity awards will
terminate immediately, (ii) all payments of compensation by the Company to Executive hereunder will terminate immediately (except as to amounts already earned), and (iii) Executive will only be eligible for severance benefits in accordance
with the Company’s established policies, if any, as then in effect. 

  

	 	e)	 Determination of Disability. With respect to the Executive, the terms “Disabled,” “Disability” or any word or phrase of
similar import shall mean the inability of the Executive to perform the essential functions of the Executive’s then-existing position hereunder on a full-time basis by reason of physical or mental incapacity, sickness or infirmity that
continues for more than 180 days or for periods aggregating 180 days during any period of 365 consecutive days. If any question shall arise as to whether during any period the Executive is Disabled with or without reasonable accommodation, the
Executive may, and at the request of the Company, shall, submit to the Company a certification in reasonable detail by a physician selected by the Company to whom the Executive or the Executive’s guardian has no reasonable objection as to
whether the Executive is so Disabled and/or the period of time for which such Disability is expected to continue, and, for the purposes of this Agreement, any such certification shall be conclusive of the issue. The Executive shall cooperate with
any reasonable request of the physician in connection with such certification. If such a question shall arise and the Executive shall fail to submit such certification, the Company’s determination of such issue shall be binding on the

  
 5 

	 	
Executive. Nothing in this Section 5 shall be construed to waive the Executive’s rights, if any, under the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, as amended, and/or the Americans with
Disabilities Act, as amended. 

  

	6)	Conditions to Receipt of Severance; No Duty to Mitigate. 

  

	 	a)	Separation Agreement and Release of Claims. The receipt of any severance pursuant to Section 5 hereof will be subject to Executive signing and not revoking
a separation agreement and release of claims (the “Release”) in a reasonable and customary form and provided that such Release becomes effective no later than the date (the “Release Deadline”) which is sixty (60) days after
the later of (i) the Termination Date and (ii) the date on which the Release is first provided by the Company to the Executive. If the Release does not become effective prior to the Release Deadline, Executive will forfeit any right to
severance or benefits under this Agreement. In no event will severance payments or benefits be paid or provided until the Release becomes effective and irrevocable. 

 

	 	b)	Compliance with this Agreement. The receipt of any severance benefits pursuant to Section 5 will be subject to Executive’s compliance with the
provisions of Section 9. In the event Executive breaches any provision of Section 9, all continuing payments and benefits to which Executive may otherwise be entitled pursuant to Section 5 will immediately cease and the Company
will be entitled to any other rights and remedies and may take any other action legally permissible as a result of breaching the provisions of Section 9. 

 

	 	c)	No Duty to Mitigate. Executive will not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment contemplated by this Agreement, nor will any earnings that Executive
may receive from any other source reduce any such payment. 

  

	7)	Section 409A. 

  

	 	a)	Separation from Service. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no severance pay or benefits to be paid or provided to Executive, if any,
pursuant to this Agreement that, when considered together with any other severance payments or separation benefits, are considered deferred compensation under Code Section 409A, and the final regulations and any guidance promulgated thereunder
(“Section 409A”) (together, the “Deferred Payments”) will be paid or otherwise provided until Executive has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. Similarly, no severance payable to
Executive, if any, pursuant to this Agreement that otherwise would be exempt from Section 409A pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) will be payable until Executive has a “separation from service” within the
meaning of Section 409A. 

  

	 	b)	 Delivery of Deferred Payments. Any severance payments or benefits under this Agreement that would be considered Deferred Payments will be paid
on, or, in the case of installments, will not commence until, the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s separation from service, or, if later, such time as required by Section 7(c). Except as required by Section 7(c), any installment payments that would have
been made to Executive during the sixty (60) day period immediately following Executive’s separation from service but for the preceding sentence will be paid to Executive on the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s separation from service and the
remaining payments shall be made as provided in this Agreement. 

  

	 	c)	 409A “Specified Employee.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is a “specified
employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of Executive’s termination (other than due to death), then the Deferred Payments that are payable within the first six (6) months following Executive’s separation from
service, will become 

  
 6 

	 	
payable on the first payroll date that occurs on or after the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Executive’s separation from service. All subsequent Deferred
Payments, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Executive dies following Executive’s separation from service, but prior to the
six (6) month anniversary of the separation from service, then any payments delayed in accordance with this paragraph will be payable in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the date of Executive’s death and all other
Deferred Payments will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Each payment and benefit payable under this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of
Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. 

  

	 	d)	Short-Term Deferral. Any amount paid under this Agreement that satisfies the requirements of the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in
Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations will not constitute Deferred Payments for purposes of clause (i) above. 

  

	 	e)	Involuntary Separation. Any amount paid under this Agreement that qualifies as a payment made as a result of an involuntary separation from service pursuant to
Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations that does not exceed the Section 409A Limit (as defined below) will not constitute Deferred Payments for purposes of clause (i) above. 

 

	 	f)	409A Compliance. The foregoing provisions are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the severance payments and benefits
to be provided hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply. The Company and Executive agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to
this Agreement and to take such reasonable actions which are necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition prior to actual payment to Executive under Section 409A. 

 

	 	g)	409A Limit. For purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A Limit” will mean two (2) times the lesser of: (i) Executive’s annualized
compensation based upon the annual rate of pay paid to Executive during the Executive’s taxable year preceding the Executive’s taxable year of his or her separation from service as determined under Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)(1) and any Internal Revenue Service guidance issued with respect thereto; or (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal
Revenue Code for the year in which Executive’s separation from service occurred. 

  

	8)	Limitation on Parachute Payments. 

  

	 	a)	 Reduction of Parachute Payments. If it is determined that any payment or benefit provided to or for the benefit of Executive (a
“Payment”), whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Code section 4999 or any interest or penalties with respect to
such excise tax (such excise tax together with any such interest and penalties, shall be referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then a calculation shall first be made under which such payments or benefits provided to Executive are
reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion thereof shall be subject to the Excise Tax (the “4999 Limit”). The Company shall then compare (a) Executive’s Net After-Tax Benefit (as defined below) assuming application
of the 4999 Limit with (b) Executive’s Net After-Tax Benefit without application of the 4999 Limit. “Net After-Tax Benefit” shall mean the sum of (i) all payments that Executive receives or is entitled to receive that
are contingent on a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company within the meaning of Code section 280G(b)(2), less (ii) the amount of federal, state,
local, employment, and Excise Tax (if any) imposed with respect to such payments. In the event (a) is greater than (b), Executive shall receive Payments solely up to the 4999 Limit.

  
 7 

	 	
In the event (b) is greater than (a), then Executive shall be entitled to receive all such Payments, and shall be solely liable for any and all Excise Tax related thereto. If a reduction in
the severance and other benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that no portion of such severance benefits is subject to the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, the reduction shall occur in the following
order: (1) reduction of the severance payments under Section 5(c)(i); (2) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards; and (3) reduction of continued employee benefits. In the event that acceleration of vesting of equity
award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of Executive’s equity awards. 

 

	 	b)	Determination of Value. Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 8 will be made in writing
by an independent professional services firm with experience in 280G calculations (the “Firm”) immediately prior to any Change of Control, whose determination will be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company for all purposes.
The Firm shall be selected by the Company subject to the Executive’s consent which shall not be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 8, the Firm may make reasonable
assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and Executive will furnish to the Firm such information
and documents as the Firm may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 8. The Company will bear all costs the Firm may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 8.

  

	 	c)	Change of Control. For purposes of this Agreement, “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events 

 

	 	i)	the acquisition by any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (for these purposes, persons will be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners
of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with Parent), (“Person”) that becomes the owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of Parent representing more
than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by Parent’s then outstanding securities; provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (i), the acquisition of additional securities by any one Person, who is
considered to own more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of the securities of Parent shall not be considered a Change of Control; 

  

	 	ii)	a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of Parent’s assets which occurs on the date that any Person acquires (or has acquired during the twelve
(12) month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from Parent that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than fifty percent (50%) of the total gross fair market value of
all of the assets of Parent immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions; provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 8(c)(ii) the following shall not constitute a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of
Parent’s assets: (1) a transfer to an entity that is controlled by the Company’s shareholders immediately after the transfer; or (2) a transfer of assets by Parent to: (A) a shareholder of Parent (immediately before the
asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to Parent’s securities; (B) an entity, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by Parent; (C) a Person, that owns,
directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of Parent; or (D) an entity, at least fifty percent (50%) of the total value or voting power of which is owned,
directly or indirectly, by a Person described in subsection (C). For purposes of this Section 8(c)(ii), gross fair market value means the value of the assets of Parent, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to
any liabilities associated with such assets; or 

  
 8 

	 	iii)	a change in the composition of the Parent Board occurring within a twelve (12) month period, as a result of which fewer than a majority of the directors are
Incumbent Directors. “Incumbent Directors” will mean directors who either (A) are directors of Parent as of the Effective Date, or (B) are elected, or nominated for election, to the Board with the affirmative votes of at least a
majority of the Incumbent Directors at the time of such election or nomination (but will not include an individual whose election or nomination is in connection with an actual or threatened proxy contest relating to the election of directors to the
Parent Board). 

  

	 	iv)	Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction shall not constitute a Change of Control unless the transaction qualifies as a “change in control event” within
the meaning of Section 409A. 

  

	9)	Confidentiality, Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Assignment of Inventions.  

 

	 	a)	Confidential Information. As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means information belonging to the Company Group which is of value to
the Company Group in the course of conducting its business and the disclosure of which could result in a competitive or other disadvantage to the Company or another member of the Company Group. Confidential Information includes, without limitation,
financial information, reports, and forecasts; inventions, improvements and other intellectual property; trade secrets; know-how; designs, processes or formulae; software; market or sales information or plans; customer lists; and business plans,
business models, business strategies, prospects and opportunities (such as possible acquisitions or dispositions of businesses or facilities) which have been discussed or considered by the management of the Company or another member of the Company
Group. Confidential Information includes information relating to the structure of the transactions entered into by and among Parent and each of its affiliates and subsidiaries. Confidential Information includes information developed by the Executive
in the course of the Executive’s employment by the Company that relates to the Company’s business, as well as other information to which the Executive may have access in connection with the Executive’s employment. Confidential
Information also includes the confidential information of others with which the Company has a business relationship. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include information in the public domain (including, but not
limited to, Executive’s general knowledge about the markets, vendors, customers and technology with which the Company Group deals), unless due to breach of the Executive’s duties under Section 9(b). 

 

	 	b)	Confidentiality. The Executive understands and agrees that the Executive’s employment creates a relationship of confidence and trust between the Executive
and the Company and the other members of the Company Group with respect to all Confidential Information. At all times, both during the Executive’s employment with the Company and after its termination, the Executive will keep in confidence and
trust all such Confidential Information, and will not use or disclose any such Confidential Information without the written consent of the Company, except as may be necessary in the ordinary course of performing the Executive’s duties to the
Company. 

  

	 	c)	Documents, Records, etc. All documents, records, data, apparatus, equipment and other physical property, whether or not pertaining to Confidential Information,
which are furnished to the Executive by the Company and the other members of the Company Group or are produced by the Executive in connection with the Executive’s employment will be and remain the sole property of the Company or the Company
Group, as applicable. The Executive will return to the Company all such materials and property as and when requested by the Company. In any event, the Executive will return all such materials and property immediately upon termination of the
Executive’s employment for any reason. The Executive will not retain with the Executive any such material or property or any copies thereof after such termination. 

  
 9 

	 	d)	Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation. During Term and for a period of two (2) years following the effective date of the termination of Executive’s
employment by the Company or another member of the Company Group, the Executive (i) will not, directly or indirectly, whether as owner, partner, shareholder, consultant, agent, employee, co-venturer or otherwise, engage, participate, assist or
invest in any Competing Business (as hereinafter defined) or otherwise engage in any activity that competes with the business of the Company or any other member of the Company Group; (ii) will refrain from directly or indirectly employing,
attempting to employ, recruiting or otherwise soliciting, inducing or influencing any person, then employed by or employed within the twelve (12) months prior to such solicitation or attempt to employ (a “Company Employee”), to leave
employment with the Company or any other member of the Company Group; and (iii) will refrain from contacting, soliciting or encouraging any customer or supplier of the Company Group to terminate or otherwise modify adversely its business
relationship with such member of the Company Group. The Executive understands that the restrictions set forth in this Section 9(d) are intended to protect the interest of the Company Group in its Confidential Information and established
employee, customer and supplier relationships and goodwill, and agrees that such restrictions are reasonable and appropriate for this purpose. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Competing Business” shall mean any business conducted
anywhere in the world which is competitive with any business which the Company or any member of the Company Group conducts or proposes to conduct at any time during the Term. The provisions of this Section 9(d) shall not apply to passive
investments in any mutual funds that may have investments in a Competing Business or in any enterprise the shares of which are publicly traded if such investment in such enterprise constitutes less than one percent (1%) of the equity of such
enterprise. 

  

	 	e)	Third-Party Agreements and Rights. The Executive hereby confirms that the Executive is not bound by the terms of any agreement with any previous employer or
other party which restricts in any way the Executive’s use or disclosure of information or the Executive’s engagement in any business. The Executive represents to the Company that the Executive’s execution of this Agreement, the
Executive’s employment with the Company and the performance of the Executive’s proposed duties for the Company will not violate any obligations the Executive may have to any such previous employer or other party. In the Executive’s
work for the Company, the Executive will not disclose or make use of any information in violation of any agreements with or rights of any such previous employer or other party, and the Executive will not bring to the premises of the Company any
copies or other tangible embodiments of non-public information belonging to or obtained from any such previous employment or other party. 

  

	 	f)	Assignment of Inventions. 

  

	 	i)	Inventions and Developments. As used in this Agreement, “Inventions and Developments” means any and all any inventions, modifications, discoveries,
designs, developments, improvements, processes, software programs, works of authorship, documentation, formulas, data, techniques, know-how, secret or intellectual property rights whatsoever or any interest therein (whether or not patentable or
registrable under copyright or similar statutes or subject to analogous protection). Inventions and Developments include, by way of example and without limitation, discoveries and improvements which consist of or relate to any form of Confidential
Information. 

  

	 	ii)	Company-Related Inventions and Developments. For purposes of this Agreement, “Company-Related Inventions and Developments” means all Inventions and
Developments 

  
 10 

	 	which either (A) relate at the time of conception or development to the actual or anticipated business of the Company or any member of the Company Group or to the
actual anticipated research and development of the Company or any member of the Company Group; (B) relate to any work performed by the Executive for the Company or any member of the Company Group, whether or not during normal business hours;
(C) are developed on Company time; or (D) are developed primarily through or in substantial reliance on the use of the Confidential Information or the equipment and software or other facilities or resources of the Company or any member of
the Company Group. 

  

	 	iii)	Ownership of Inventions and Developments. Executive hereby agrees that all Company-Related Inventions and Developments which Executive conceives or develops, in
whole or in part, either alone or jointly with others, during the Term will be the sole property of the Company. The Company will be the sole owner of all patents, copyrights and other proprietary rights in and with respect to such Company-Related
Inventions and Developments. To the fullest extent permitted by law, such Company-Related Inventions and Developments will be deemed works made for hire. Executive hereby transfers and assigns to the Company any proprietary rights which Executive
has, may have or may acquire in any such Company-Related Inventions and Developments without further compensation, and waives any moral rights or other special rights which Executive has, may have or may accrue therein. At the request and cost of
the Company, Executive agrees to execute any documents and take any actions that may be required to effect and confirm such transfer and assignment and waiver. The provisions of this Section 9(f) will apply to all Company-Related Inventions and
Developments which are conceived or developed during the Term whether before or after the date of this Agreement, and whether or not further development or reduction to practice may take place after termination of Executive’s employment by the
Company or another member of the Company Group, for which purpose it will be presumed that any Company-Related Inventions and Developments conceived by Executive which are reduced to practice within one year after termination of Executive’s
employment were conceived during the Term unless Executive is able to establish a later conception date by clear and convincing evidence. 

  

	 	iv)	Disclosure of Inventions and Developments. Executive agrees promptly to disclose to the Company, or any persons designated by it, all Company-Related Inventions
and Developments which are or may be subject to the provisions of this Section 9(f). 

  

	 	g)	Litigation and Regulatory Cooperation. After the Executive’s employment, the Executive shall cooperate reasonably with the Company in the preparation,
defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or which may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the Company or any Company Group entity which relate to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was
employed by the Company. The Executive’s reasonable cooperation in connection with such claims or actions shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with counsel to prepare for mediation, arbitration, agency proceeding,
discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of the Company at mutually convenient times and subject to any then-current obligations Executive may have to another employer. After the Executive’s employment, the Executive also shall
cooperate reasonably with the Company in connection with any investigation or review of any federal, state or local regulatory authority as any such investigation or review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was
employed by the Company. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Executive’s performance of obligations pursuant to this Section 9(g) and for all hours in excess
of twenty (20) in any calendar year shall compensate the Executive for his time at an hourly rate equal to the Executive’s Base Salary at the time of termination divided by two thousand (2000). 

  
 11 

	 	h)	Injunction. The Executive agrees that it would be difficult to measure any damages caused to the Company which might result from any breach by the Executive of
the promises set forth in this Section 9, and that in any event money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any such breach. Accordingly, subject to Section 10 of this Agreement, the Executive agrees that if the Executive breaches, or
proposes to breach, any portion of this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies that it may have, to an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief to restrain any such breach without showing or proving any
actual damage to the Company. In the event of any breach of any part of Section 9 of this Agreement, the duration of any such provision shall be extended by the period of the Employee’s breach. 

 

	10)	Arbitration. 

  

	 	a)	Arbitration of Claims. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof or otherwise arising out of the
Executive’s employment or the termination of that employment (including, without limitation, any claims of unlawful employment discrimination whether based on age or otherwise) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be settled by
arbitration in any forum and form agreed upon by the parties or, in the absence of such an agreement, under the auspices of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in Boston, Massachusetts in accordance with the Employment Dispute
Resolution Rules of the AAA, including, but not limited to, the rules and procedures applicable to the selection of arbitrators. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. This
Section 10 shall be specifically enforceable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 10 shall not preclude either party from pursuing a court action for the sole purpose of obtaining a temporary restraining order or a preliminary
injunction in circumstances in which such relief is appropriate; provided that any other relief shall be pursued through an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Section 10. 

 

	 	b)	Waiver of Jury Trial. Executive fully understands that EXECUTIVE IS WAIVING EXECUTIVE’S RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL 

 

	11)	Consent to Jurisdiction. To the extent that any court action is permitted consistent with or to enforce Section 10 of this Agreement, the parties hereby
consent to the jurisdiction of the Superior Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts sitting in Boston, Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts sitting in Boston, Massachusetts. Accordingly, with respect
to any such court action, the Executive (a) submits to the personal jurisdiction of such courts, (b) consents to service of process, and (c) waives any other requirement (whether imposed by statute, rule of court or otherwise) with
respect to personal jurisdiction and service of process. 

  

	12)	Assignment. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of (a) the heirs, executors and legal representatives of Executive upon
Executive’s death and (b) any successor of the Company. Any such successor of the Company will be deemed substituted for the Company under the terms of this Agreement for all purposes. For this purpose, “successor” means any
person, firm, corporation or other business entity which at any time, whether by purchase, merger or otherwise, directly or indirectly acquires all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Company. None of the rights of Executive to
receive any form of compensation payable pursuant to this Agreement may be assigned or transferred except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any other attempted assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of Executive’s
right to compensation or other benefits will be null and void. 

  

	13)	 Notice. All notices, requests, demands and other communications called for hereunder will be in writing and will be deemed given (i) on the
date of delivery if delivered personally, (ii) one (1) day after being sent by a well established commercial overnight service, or (iii) four (4) days after being

may later designate in writing.

 14Form of Indemnification Agreement with Directors and Officers

 Exhibit 10.10 
 FUSIONSTORM GLOBAL INC. 
 INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 

This Indemnification Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of [__], 2011, by and between FusionStorm Global Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [name] (“Indemnitee”). 
 RECITALS 

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

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that, in order to attract and retain
qualified individuals, the Company will attempt to maintain on an ongoing basis, at its sole expense, liability insurance to protect persons serving the Company and its subsidiaries from certain liabilities. The Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation of the Company (the “Charter”) authorizes indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company and the By-laws of the Company (the “By-laws”) require such indemnification. Indemnitee may also
be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”). The Charter, By-laws and DGCL provide that the indemnification provisions set forth therein are not exclusive, and thereby
contemplate that contracts may be entered into between the Company and members of the Board, officers and other persons with respect to indemnification; 
 WHEREAS, the uncertainties relating to such insurance and to indemnification have increased the difficulty of attracting and retaining such persons; 

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that the increased difficulty in attracting and retaining such persons is detrimental to the best
interests of the Company’s stockholders and that the Company should act to assure such persons that there will be increased certainty of such protection in the future; 
 WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified; 
 WHEREAS, this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the indemnification provided in the Charter and By-laws and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, and shall not be deemed a substitute
therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder; 
 WHEREAS, Indemnitee does not regard the protection
available under the Charter, By-laws and DGCL and insurance as being adequate in the present circumstances, and in consideration of serving as a director and/or officer of the Company desires to be assured of adequate protection, and the Company
desires Indemnitee to serve in such capacity. Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve and to take on additional service for or on behalf of the Company on the condition that Indemnitee be so indemnified; and 

 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. Services to the Company. Indemnitee agrees
to serve as a [director/officer] of the Company. Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign from such position (subject to any other contractual obligation or any obligation imposed by operation of law), in which event the Company shall
have no obligation under this Agreement to continue Indemnitee in such position. This Agreement shall not be deemed an employment contract between the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any Enterprise) and Indemnitee. The foregoing
notwithstanding, this Agreement shall continue in force after Indemnitee’s services to the Company have ceased. 
 Section
2. Definitions 
 As used in this Agreement: 
 (a) “Corporate Status” describes the status of a person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or of any other corporation, partnership or joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which such person is or was serving at the request of the Company. 
 (b)
“Enterprise” shall mean the Company and any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer,
employee, agent or fiduciary. 
 (c) “Expenses” shall include all reasonable attorneys’ fees, retainers,
court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, and all other disbursements or expenses of the types customarily
incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating, being or preparing to be a witness in, or otherwise participating in, a Proceeding. Expenses also shall include Expenses incurred in connection with
any appeal resulting from any Proceeding, including without limitation the premium, security for, and other costs relating to any cost bond, supersedes bond, or other appeal bond or its equivalent. Expenses, however, shall not include amounts paid
in settlement by Indemnitee or the amount of judgments or fines against Indemnitee. 
 (d) “Independent Counsel”
means a law firm, or a partner (or, if applicable, member) of such a law firm, that is experienced in matters of corporation law and neither presently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent: (i) the Company or Indemnitee
in any matter material to either such party (other than with respect to matters concerning the Indemnitee under this Agreement, or of other indemnitees under similar indemnification agreements), or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving
rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of
interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in 

  
 - 2 -

 
an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the Independent Counsel referred to above and to fully
indemnify such counsel against any and all Expenses, claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto. 
 (e) The term “Proceeding” shall include any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative
hearing or any other actual, threatened or completed proceeding, whether brought in the right of the Company or otherwise and whether of a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative nature, in which Indemnitee was, is or will be involved as a
party or otherwise by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, by reason of any action taken by him or of any action on his part while acting in such capacity, or by reason of the fact that he is or was serving at the request of the Company as
a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, in each case whether or not serving in such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for
which indemnification, reimbursement, or advancement of expenses can be provided under this Agreement; except one initiated by Indemnitee to enforce his rights under this Agreement. 

Section 3. Indemnity in Third-Party Proceedings. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 3 if Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any Proceeding, other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 3, Indemnitee
shall be indemnified against all Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on his behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. Indemnitee shall not enter
into any settlement in connection with a Proceeding without 10 days prior notice to the Company. 
 Section 4. Indemnity in
Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4 if Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any Proceeding by or in
the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 4, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any
claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. No indemnification for Expenses shall be made under this Section 4 in respect
of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudged by a court to be liable to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery (the “Delaware Court”) or any court in
which the Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses as the
Delaware Court or such other court shall deem proper. 
 Section 5. Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or
Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that 

  
 - 3 -

 
Indemnitee is a party to or a participant in 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, the Company
shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him 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 (a) all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter and
(b) any claim, issue or matter related to any such 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. 
 Section 6. Indemnification
For Expenses of a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, he shall be indemnified
against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith. 
 Section 7.
Additional Indemnification. 
 (a) Notwithstanding any limitation in Sections 3, 4 or 5, the Company shall indemnify
Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law if Indemnitee is a party to or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding (including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor) against all Expenses,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the Proceeding. 
 (b) For purposes of Section 7(a), the meaning of the phrase “to the fullest extent permitted by law” shall include, but not be limited to: 

(i) to the fullest extent permitted by the provision of the DGCL that authorizes or contemplates additional indemnification by agreement,
or the corresponding provision of any amendment to or replacement of the DGCL, and 
 (ii) to the fullest extent authorized or
permitted by any amendments to or replacements of the DGCL adopted after the date of this Agreement that increase the extent to which a corporation may indemnify its officers and directors. 

Section 8. Exclusions. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated under
this Agreement to make any indemnity in connection with any claim made against Indemnitee: 
 (a) for an accounting of profits
made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or similar provisions of state statutory law or common
law; 
 (b) for claims initiated or brought by Indemnitee, except (i) with respect to actions or proceedings brought to
establish or enforce a right to receive Expenses or 

  
 - 4 -

 
indemnification under this Agreement or any other agreement or insurance policy or under the Charter or Bylaws now or hereafter in effect relating to indemnification, (ii) if the Board has
approved the initiation or bringing of such claim, or (iii) as otherwise required under Delaware law; 
 (c) for which
payment has actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision; or 

(d) for which payment is prohibited by applicable law. 
 Section 9. Advances of Expenses. The Company shall advance, to the extent not prohibited by law, the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding, and such advancement shall be
made within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements requesting such advances (which shall include invoices received by Indemnitee in connection with such Expenses but, in the case of invoices in connection with legal
services, any references to legal work performed or to expenditures made that would cause Indemnitee to waive any privilege accorded by applicable law shall not be included with the invoice) from time to time, whether prior to or after final
disposition of any Proceeding. Advances shall be unsecured and interest free. Advances shall be made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the expenses and without regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification
under the other provisions of this Agreement. Advances shall include any and all reasonable 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. The Indemnitee shall qualify for advances upon the execution and delivery to the Company of this Agreement which shall constitute an undertaking providing that the Indemnitee undertakes to the fullest extent permitted
by law to repay the advance if and to the extent that it is ultimately determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. This Section 9 shall
not apply to any claim made by Indemnitee for which indemnity is excluded pursuant to Section 8. The right to advances under this paragraph shall in all events continue until final disposition of any Proceeding, including any appeal therein.

 Section 10. Procedure for Notification and Defense of Claim. 

(a) To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request therefor. 

(b) The Company will be entitled to participate in the Proceeding at its own expense. 

Section 11. Procedure Upon Application for Indemnification. 

(a) Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 10(a), a determination, if required by applicable law,
with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case by Independent Counsel chosen in accordance Section 11(b) below and, if it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to
Indemnitee shall be made within ten (10) days after such 

  
 - 5 -

 
determination. Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Independent Counsel making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such
counsel 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 attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the Independent Counsel 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. 
 (b) The Independent
Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee. The Company may, within 10 days after written notice of such selection, deliver to the Indemnitee a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted
only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of
such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If such written objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless
and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within 20 days after the later of submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 10(a) hereof, and
the final disposition of the Proceeding including any appeal therein, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, the Indemnitee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have
been made by the Company to the selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all
objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 11(a) hereof. Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 13(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 12. Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings. 
 (a) In making
a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the Independent Counsel making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for
indemnification in accordance with Section 10(a) of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by the Independent Counsel of any determination contrary to that
presumption. Neither the failure of the Company or of Independent Counsel to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met
the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company or by Independent Counsel that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has
not met the applicable standard of conduct. 

  
 - 6 -

 (b) The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment,
order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create
a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to
believe that his conduct was unlawful. 
 (c) For purposes of any determination of good faith, 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 the Board or counsel selected by any committee of the Board or on information or records given or reports made to the Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an
appraiser, investment banker or other expert selected with the reasonable care by the Company or the Board or any committee of the Board. The provisions of this Section 12(c) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other
circumstances in which the Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement. 

(d) 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. 
 Section 13. Remedies of
Indemnitee. 
 (a) Subject to Section 13(e), in the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to
Section 11 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement
to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement within 90 days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Section 5 or 6
or the last sentence of Section 11(a) of this Agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, or (v) payment of indemnification pursuant to Section 3, 4 or 7 of this Agreement is not
made within ten (10) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication by a court of his entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses.
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. Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding seeking
an adjudication or an award in arbitration within 180 days following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 13(a); provided, however, that the foregoing clause shall
not apply in respect of a proceeding brought by Indemnitee to enforce his rights under Section 5 of this Agreement. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration.

 (b) In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of
this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits and Indemnitee
shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination. In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13 the Company shall have the burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or
advancement of Expenses, as the case may be. 
 (c) If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of
this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a
material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.

 (d) The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this
Section 13 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator 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 therefor) 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. 

(e) 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that this subsection (e) shall not affect the Company’s obligation to advance Expenses under Section 9 or
Section 13(d) as incurred and on a timely basis. 
 Section 14. 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 to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Charter, the Company’s By-laws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or a resolution of directors, or otherwise. No
amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his Corporate Status prior to such
amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in Delaware law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the Charter, By-laws and this
Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein 

  
 - 8 -

 
conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy. 

(b) To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, officers,
employees, or agents of the Company or of any other Enterprise, 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 or
agent under such policy or policies. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of
such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts
payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such 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. 
 (d) The Company shall not be liable
under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable (or for which advancement is provided hereunder) hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy,
contract, agreement or otherwise. 
 Section 15. Duration of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue until and terminate
upon the later of: (a) 10 years after the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director of the Company or (b) 1 year after the final termination of any Proceeding then pending in respect of which Indemnitee is granted
rights of indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder and of any proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 13 of this Agreement relating thereto. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and
assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and his heirs, executors and administrators. 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 the 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. 
 Section 16. 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, 

  
 - 9 -

 
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 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. 
 Section 17. Enforcement. 

(a) The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in
order to induce Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve as a director of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as a 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 Charter of
the Company, the By-laws of the Company and applicable law, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder. 
 Section 18. Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the parties thereto. No waiver of any of the
provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions of this Agreement nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver. 
 Section 19. Notice by Indemnitee. Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the Company in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other
document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of Expenses covered hereunder. The failure of Indemnitee 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. 
 Section 20. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other
communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if (a) delivered by hand and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been directed, (b) mailed by
certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date on which it is so mailed, (c) mailed by reputable overnight courier and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have
been directed or (d) sent by facsimile transmission, with receipt of oral confirmation that such transmission has been received:

Section 21. Contribution. 
 (a) To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of
indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection with any claim relating to an
indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee as a
result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such Proceeding; and/or (ii) the relative fault of the Company (and its directors, officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s)
and/or transaction(s). 
 (b) 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. 
 (c) The Company hereby agrees to fully indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee from any claims for contribution which may be brought by officers, directors or employees of the Company other than Indemnitee
who may be jointly liable with Indemnitee. 
 Section 22. Applicable Law and Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and
the legal relations among the parties shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Except with respect to any arbitration commenced by
Indemnitee pursuant to Section 13(a) of this Agreement, the Company and Indemnitee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agree that any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought only in
the Delaware Court, and not in any other state or federal court in the United States of America or any court in any other country, (ii) consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court for purposes of any action or
proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, (iii) appoint, to the extent such party is not otherwise subject to service of process in the State of Delaware, CT Corporation as its agent in the State of Delaware as such
party’s agent for acceptance of legal process in connection with any such action or proceeding against such party with the same legal force and validity as if served upon such party personally within the State of Delaware, (iv) waive any
objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in the Delaware Court, and (v) waive, and agree not to plead or to make, any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in the Delaware Court has been brought in an
improper or inconvenient forum.

 Section 23. Identical 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 needs to be
produced to evidence the existence of this Agreement.

this Agreement by the Company and Indemnitee, such parties hereto acknowledge that any and all indemnification agreements previously entered into by and between Indemnitee and the Company, if any, which provide for the indemnification of Indemnittee
