FORM OF INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
EFTA01121012
COINBASE, INC.
INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
This Indemnification Agreement (this "Agreement") is made as of by and
between Coinbase, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and
("Indemnitee").
RECITALS
The Company and Indemnitee recognize the increasing difficulty in obtaining liability
insurance for directors, officers and key employees, the significant increases in the cost of such
insurance and the general reductions in the coverage of such insurance. The Company and
Indemnitee further recognize the substantial increase in corporate litigation in general, subjecting
directors, officers and key employees to expensive litigation risks at the same time as the
availability and coverage of liability insurance has been severely limited. Indemnitee does not
regard the current protection available as adequate under the present circumstances, and
Indemnitee may not be willing to continue to serve in Indemnitee's current capacity with the
Company without additional protection. The Company desires to attract and retain the services
of highly qualified individuals, such as Indemnitee, and to indemnify its directors, officers and
key employees so as to provide them with the maximum protection permitted by law.
AGREEMENT
In consideration of the mutual promises made in this Agreement, and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the
Company and Indemnitee hereby agree as follows:
1. Indemnification.
(a) Third-Party Proceedings. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee, if Indemnitee was, is or is threatened to be made,
a party to or a participant (as a witness or otherwise) in any Proceeding (other than a Proceeding
by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in the Company's favor), against all
Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in
advance by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) actually and
reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding if Indemnitee acted in
good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Company and, in the case of a criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe Indemnitee's conduct was unlawful.
(b) Proceedings By or in the Right of the Company. To the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee, if Indemnitee was, is or
is threatened to be made a party to or a participant (as a witness or otherwise) in any Proceeding
by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in the Company's favor, against all
Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding if
Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not
°MUSA:7533470752
28154-1
EFTA01121013
opposed to the best interests of the Company, except that no indemnification shall be made in
respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudicated
by court order or judgment to be liable to the Company unless and only to the extent that the
Court of Chancery or the court in which such Proceeding is or was pending shall determine upon
application that, 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.
(c) Success on the Merits. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law
and to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of
any Proceeding referred to in Section 1(a) or Section 1(b) or the 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 Indemnitee in connection therewith. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, if Indemnitee is successful on the merits or otherwise as to one or
more but less than all claims, issues or matters in a Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify
Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection
with such successfully resolved claims, issues or matters to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law. If any 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 Company, (iii) a plea of guilty by Indemnitee, (iv)
an adjudication that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, 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.
(d) Witness Expenses. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and
to the extent that Indemnitee is a witness or otherwise asked to participate in any Proceeding to
which Indemnitee is not a party, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding.
2. Indemnification Procedure.
(a) Advancement of Expenses. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, the Company shall advance all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in
connection with a Proceeding within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of a statement
requesting such advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition -of any
Proceeding. Such advances shall be unsecured and interest free and 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. Indemnitee shall
be entitled to continue to receive advancement of Expenses pursuant to this Section 2(a) unless
and until the matter of Indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification hereunder has been finally
adjudicated by court order or judgment from which no further right of appeal exists. Indemnitee
hereby undertakes to repay such amounts advanced only if, and to the extent that, it ultimately is
determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company under the other
provisions of this Agreement. Indemnitee shall qualify for advances upon the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, which shall constitute the requisite undertaking with respect to
°MUSA:7533470752 -2-
28154-I
EFTA01121014
repayment of advances made hereunder and no other form of undertaking shall be required to
qualify for advances made hereunder other than the execution of this Agreement.
(b) Notice and Cooperation by Indemnitee. Indemnitee shall promptly
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 for
which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement. Such notice to the
Company shall include a description of the nature of, and facts underlying, the Proceeding, shall
be directed to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and shall be given in accordance with
the provisions of Section 13(e) below. In addition, Indemnitee shall give the Company such
additional information and cooperation as the Company may reasonably request. Indemnitee's
failure to so notify, provide information and otherwise cooperate with the Company shall not
relieve the Company of any obligation that it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement,
except to the extent that the Company is adversely affected by such failure.
(c) Determination of Entitlement.
(i) Final Disposition. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Agreement, no determination as to entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement shall be
required to be made prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding.
(ii) Determination and Payment. Subject to the foregoing, promptly
after receipt of a statement requesting payment with respect to the indemnification rights set
forth in Section 1, to the extent required by applicable law, the Company shall take the steps
necessary to authorize such payment in the manner set forth in Section 145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law. The Company shall pay any claims made under this Agreement,
under any statute, or under any provision of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or
Bylaws providing for indemnification or advancement of Expenses, within thirty (30) days after
a written request for payment thereof has first been received by the Company, and if such claim
is not paid in full within such thirty (30) day-period, Indemnitee may, but need not, at any time
thereafter bring an action against the Company in the Delaware Court of Chancery to recover the
unpaid amount of the claim and, subject to Section 12, Indemnitee shall also be entitled to be
paid for all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with
bringing such action. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to
enforce a claim for advancement of Expenses under Section 2(a)) that Indemnitee has not met
the standards of conduct which make it permissible under applicable law for the Company to
indemnify Indemnitee for the amount claimed. In making a determination with respect to
entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such
determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement
and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption with clear and
convincing evidence to the contrary. The termination of any 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 good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, or, in the case
of a criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee's
conduct was unlawful. In addition, it is the parties' intention that if the Company contests
Indemnitee's right to indemnification, the question of Indemnitee's right to indemnification shall
OHSUSA:753347075.2 -3-
28154-1
EFTA01121015
be for the court to decide, and neither the failure of the Company (including its Board of
Directors, any committee or subgroup of the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its
stockholders) to have made a determination that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the
circumstances because Indenmitee has met the applicable standard of conduct required by
applicable law, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its Board of Directors,
any committee or subgroup of the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its
stockholders) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a
presumption that Indemnitee has or has not met the applicable standard of conduct. If any
requested determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder has not been
made within ninety (90) days after the final disposition of the Proceeding, the requisite
determination that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made.
(iii) Change of Control. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Agreement, if a Change of Control has occurred, any person or body appointed by the Board of
Directors in accordance with applicable law to review the Company's obligations hereunder and
under applicable law shall be Independent Counsel selected by Indemnitee and approved by the
Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). Such counsel, among other
things, will render its written opinion to the Company and Indemnitee as to whether and to what
extent Indemnitee would be entitled to be indemnified hereunder under applicable law and the
Company agrees to abide by such opinion. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of
the Independent Counsel referred to above and to indemnify fully such counsel against any and
all expenses (including attorneys' fees), claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating
to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to pay Expenses of more than one
Independent Counsel in connection with all matters concerning a single Indemnitee, and such
Independent Counsel shall be the Independent Counsel for any or all other Indemnitees unless (i)
the Company otherwise determines or (ii) any Indemnitee shall provide a written statement
setting forth in detail a reasonable objection to such Independent Counsel representing other
indemnitees under agreements similar to this Agreement.
(d) Payment Directions. To the extent payments are required to be made
hereunder, the Company shall, in accordance with Indemnitee's request (but without
duplication), (i) pay such Expenses on behalf of Indemnitee, (b) advance to Indemnitee funds in
an amount sufficient to pay such Expenses, or (c) reimburse Indemnitee for such Expenses.
(e) Notice to Insurers. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim
pursuant to Section 2(b) 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
Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of
such policies.
(t) Defense of Claim and Selection of Counsel. In the event the Company
shall be obligated under Section 2(a) hereof to advance Expenses with respect to any Proceeding,
the Company, if appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Proceeding, with
counsel reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee, upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice
OHSUSA:753347075.2 -4-
28154-I
EFTA01121016
of its election so to do. After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee
and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee
under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by Indenmitee with respect
to the same Proceeding, provided that (i) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ counsel in
any such Proceeding at Indemnitee's expense; and (ii) if (A) the employment of counsel by
Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, (B) Indemnitee shall have
reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and
Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense or (C) the Company shall not, in fact, have
employed counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding, then the fees and expenses of
Indemnitee's counsel shall be at the expense of the Company. In addition, if there exists a
potential, but not an actual conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee, the actual
and reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by Indemnitee for separate counsel retained by
Indemnitee to monitor the Proceeding (so that such counsel may assume Indemnitee's defense if
the conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee becomes an actual conflict of
interest) shall be deemed to be Expenses that are subject to indemnification hereunder. The
existence of an actual or potential conflict of interest, and whether such conflict may be waived,
shall be determined pursuant to the rules of attorney professional conduct and applicable law.
The Company shall not be required to obtain the consent of Indemnitee for the settlement of any
Proceeding the Company has undertaken to defend if the Company assumes full and sole
responsibility for each such settlement; provided, however, that the Company shall be required to
obtain Indemnitee's prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, before
entering into any settlement which (1) does not grant Indemnitee a complete release of liability,
(2) would impose any penalty or limitation on Indemnitee, or (3) would admit any liability or
misconduct by Indemnitee.
3. Additional Indemnification Rights.
(a) Scope. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Company hereby agrees to indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law,
notwithstanding that such indemnification is not specifically authorized by the other provisions
of this Agreement, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, the Company's Bylaws or by
statute. In the event of any change, after the date of this Agreement, in any applicable law,
statute, or rule which expands the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its
board of directors or an officer, such changes shall be deemed to be within the purview of
Indemnitee's rights and the Company's obligations under this Agreement. In the event of any
change in any applicable law, statute or rule which narrows the right of a Delaware corporation
to indemnify a member of its board of directors or an officer, such changes, to the extent not
otherwise required by such law, statute or rule to be applied to this Agreement shall have no
effect on this Agreement or the parties' rights and obligations hereunder.
(b) Nonexclusivitv. The indemnification provided by this Agreement shall
not be deemed exclusive of any rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled under the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation, its Bylaws, any agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested
members of the Company's Board of Directors, the Delaware General Corporation Law, or
otherwise, both as to action in Indemnitee's official capacity and as to action in another capacity
while holding such office.
OHSUSA:7533470752 -5-
28154-I
EFTA01121017
(c) Interest on Unpaid Amounts. If any payment to be made by the
Company to Indemnitee hereunder is delayed by more than ninety (90) days from the date the
duly prepared request for such payment is received by the Company, interest shall be paid by the
Company to Indemnitee at the legal rate under Delaware law for amounts which the Company
indemnifies or is obligated to indemnify for the period commencing with the date on which
Indemnitee actually incurs such Expense or pays such judgment, fine or amount in settlement
and ending with the date on which such payment is made to Indetnnitee by the Company.
(d) Information Sharing. If Indemnitee is the subject of or is implicated in
any way during an investigation, whether formal or informal, the Company shall share with
Indemnitee any information the Company has furnished to any third parties concerning the
investigation provided that, at the time such information is so furnished to such third party,
Indemnitee continues to serve in one or more capacities giving rise to the Company's
indemnification obligations under Section 1.
(e) Third-Party Indemnification. The Company hereby acknowledges that
Indemnitee has or may from time to time obtain certain rights to indemnification, advancement
of expenses and/or insurance provided by one or more third parties (collectively, the
"Third-Party Indemnitors"). The Company hereby agrees that it is the indemnitor of first resort
(i. e., its obligations to Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Third-Party Indemnitors
to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred
by Indemnitee are secondary), and that the Company will not assert that the Indemnitee must
seek expense advancement or reimbursement, or indemnification, from any Third-Party
Indemnitor before the Company must perform its expense advancement and reimbursement, and
indemnification obligations, under this Agreement. No advancement or payment by the
Third-Party Indemnitors on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee
has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing. The Third-Party
Indemnitors shall be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights
of recovery which Indemnitee would have had against the Company if the Third-Party
Indemnitors had not advanced or paid any amount to or on behalf of Indemnitee. If for any
reason a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Third-Party Indemnitors are not
entitled to the subrogation rights described in the preceding sentence, the Third-Party
Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution by the Company to the Third-Party Indemnitors
with respect to any advance or payment by the Third-Party Indemnitors to or on behalf of the
Indemnitee.
(f) Indemnification of Control Person. If (i) Indemnitee is or was
affiliated with one or more of the Company's current or former stockholders that may be deemed
to be or to have been a controlling person of the Company (each a "Control Person"), (ii) a
Control Person is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant (including as a witness)
in any proceeding, and (iii) the Control Person's involvement in the proceeding is related to
Indemnitee's service to the Company as a director of the Company, or arises from the Control
Person's status or alleged status as a controlling person of the Company resulting from such
Control Person's affiliation with Indemnitee, then the Control Person shall be entitled to all of
the indemnification rights and remedies under this Agreement to the same extent as Indemnitee.
O14SUSA:7531470752
28154.1
-6-
EFTA01121018
4. Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this
Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the Expenses,
judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred in connection
with a Proceeding, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall
nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement to which Indemnitee is entitled.
5. Director and Officer Liability Insurance.
(a) D&O Policy. The Company shall, from time to time, make the good
faith determination whether or not it is practicable for the Company to obtain and maintain a
policy or policies of insurance with reputable insurance companies providing the directors and
officers of the Company with coverage for losses from wrongful acts, or to ensure the
Company's performance of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement. Among other
considerations, the Company will weigh the costs of obtaining such insurance coverage against
the protection afforded by such coverage. In all policies of director and officer liability
insurance, Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee
the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably insured of the Company's
directors, if Indemnitee is a director; or of the Company's officers, if Indemnitee is not a director
of the Company but is an officer; or of the Company's key employees, if Indemnitee is not an
officer or director but is a key employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall
have no obligation to obtain or maintain such insurance if the Company determines in good faith
that such insurance is not reasonably available, if the premium costs for such insurance are
disproportionate to the amount of coverage provided, if the coverage provided by such insurance
is limited by exclusions so as to provide an insufficient benefit, or if Indemnitee is covered by
similar insurance maintained by a parent or subsidiary of the Company.
(b) Tail Coverage. In the event of a Change of Control or the Company's
becoming insolvent (including being placed into receivership or entering the federal bankruptcy
process and the like), the Company shall maintain in force any and all insurance policies then
maintained by the Company in providing insurance (directors' and officers' liability, fiduciary,
employment practices or otherwise) in respect of Indemnitee, for a period of six years thereafter.
6. Severability. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to require or shall be
construed as requiring the Company to do or fail to do any act in violation of applicable law.
The Company's inability, pursuant to court order, to perform its obligations under this
Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. If this Agreement or any portion
hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the
Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee to the full extent permitted by any applicable
portion of this Agreement that shall not have been invalidated, and the balance of this Agreement
not so invalidated shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
7. Exclusions. Any other provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement:
(a) Claims Initiated by Indemnitee. To indemnify or advance Expenses to
Indemnitee with respect to Proceedings initiated or brought voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by
OHSUSA:7533470752 -7-
28154-1
EFTA01121019
way of defense, except with respect to Proceedings brought to establish, enforce or interpret a
right to indemnification under this Agreement or any other statute or law or otherwise as
required under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, but such indemnification
or advancement of Expenses may be provided by the Company in specific cases if the Board of
Directors finds it to be appropriate; provided, however, that the exclusion set forth in the first
clause of this subsection shall not be deemed to apply to any investigation initiated or brought by
Indemnitee to the extent reasonably necessary or advisable in support of Indemnitee's defense of
a Proceeding to which Indemnitee was, is or is threatened to be made, a party;
(b) Lack of Good Faith. To indemnify Indemnitee for any Expenses
incurred by Indemnitee with respect to any Proceeding instituted by Indemnitee to establish,
enforce or interpret a right to indemnification under this Agreement or any other statute or law or
otherwise as required under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, if a court of
competent jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions made by Indemnitee in
such proceeding was not made in good faith or was frivolous;
(c) Insured Claims. To indemnify Indemnitee for Expenses to the extent
such Expenses have been paid directly to Indemnitee by an insurance carrier under an insurance
policy maintained by the Company; or
(d) Certain Exchanee Act Claims. To indemnify Indemnitee in connection
with any claim made against Indemnitee for (i) 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 Exchange Act or any similar successor statute or any similar provisions of
state statutory law or common law, or (ii) any reimbursement of the Company by Indemnitee of
any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by
Indemnitee from the sale of securities of the Company, as required in each case under the
Exchange Act (including any such reimbursements that arise from an accounting restatement of
the Company pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxlev
Ace") or Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or the
payment to the Company of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of
securities in violation of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act); provided, however, that to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent Indemnitee is successful on the merits
or otherwise with respect to any such Proceeding, the Expenses actually and reasonably incurred
by Indemnitee in connection with any such Proceeding shall be deemed to be Expenses that are
subject to indemnification hereunder.
8. Contribution Claims.
(a) If the indemnification provided in Section 1 is unavailable in whole or in
part and may not be paid to Indemnitee for any reason other than those set forth in Section 7,
then in respect to any Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or
would be if joined in such Proceeding), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the
Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount
incurred by Indemnitee, whether for Expenses, judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement, in
connection with any Proceeding without requiring Indemnitee to contribute to such payment, and
OHSUSA:753347075.2 -8-
28154-I
EFTA01121020
the Company hereby waives and relinquishes any right of contribution it may have at any time
against Indemnitee.
(b) With respect to a Proceeding brought against directors, officers,
employees or agents of the Company (other than Indemnitee), to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee from any claims for contribution that
may be brought by any such directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company (other than
Indemnitee) who may be jointly liable with Indemnitee, to the same extent Indemnitee would
have been entitled to such indemnification under this Agreement if such Proceeding had been
brought against Indemnitee.
9. No Imputation. The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director,
officer, agent or employee of the Company or the Company itself shall not be imputed to
Indemnitee for purposes of determining any rights under this Agreement.
10. Determination of Good Faith. 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 of Directors of the Enterprise or any
counsel selected by any committee of the Board of Directors of the Enterprise or on information
or records given or reports made to the Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant
or by an appraiser, investment banker, compensation consultant, or other expert selected with
reasonable care by the Enterprise or the Board of Directors of the Enterprise or any committee
thereof. The provisions of this Section 10 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. Whether or not the foregoing provisions of this Section are satisfied, it
shall in any event be presumed that Indemnitee has at all times acted in good faith and in a
manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company.
11. Defined Terms and Phrases. For purposes of this Agreement, the following

Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors resulting from such Business
Combination (including a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or

28151-1
EFTA01121022
request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, trustee, general partner, managing
member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other enterprise, Indemnitee shall stand in the same
