As used herein, the term “Cause” shall mean (i) commission of a willful act of dishonesty in the course of Executive’s duties hereunder, (ii) conviction by a court of competent jurisdiction of, or plea of no contest to, a crime constituting a felony or conviction in respect of, or plea of no contest to, any act involving fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude, (iii) Executive’s performance under the influence of controlled substances (other than those taken pursuant to a medical doctor’s orders), or continued habitual intoxication, during working hours, (iv) frequent or extended, and unjustifiable, absenteeism, (v) Executive’s personal misconduct or refusal to perform duties and responsibilities or to carry out the lawful directives of the President of the Company or of the Board, which, if capable of being cured shall not have been cured, within 30 days after the Company shall have advised Executive in writing of its intention to terminate Executive’s employment, or (vi) Executive’s material non-compliance with the terms of this Agreement, which is capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within 30 days after the Company shall have advised Executive in writing of its intention to terminate Executive’s employment for such reason.

Any reimbursements made pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid as soon as practicable but no later than 90 days after Executive submits evidence of such expenses to the Company (which payment date shall in no event be later than the last day of the calendar incurred). The amount of such reimbursements paid and any in-kind benefits the year following the calendar year in which the expense was provided during any calendar year shall not affect the reimbursements paid or in-kind benefits provided in any other calendar year, and the right to any such payments and benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another payment or benefit.

Section 17. Cooperation. Executive agrees to provide assistance to and cooperate with the Company upon its reasonable request with respect to matters within the scope of Executive’s duties and responsibilities during the Restricted Period. During such Period, the Company shall, to the maximum extent coordinate or cause any such request with Executive’s other commitments and responsibilities to minimize the degree to which such request interferes with such commitments and responsibilities. The Company agrees that it will reimburse Executive for reasonable documented travel expenses (i.e., travel, meals and lodging) that Executive may incur in providing assistance to the Company hereunder.

Section 18. Non-disparagement. Executive agrees to not make any statements, written or oral, while employed by the Company and thereafter, which would be reasonably likely to disparage or damage the Company, its affiliates or subsidiaries or the personal or professional reputation of any present or former employees, officers or members of the managing or directorial boards or committees of the Company or its affiliates or subsidiaries. The Company agrees that it will instruct each of its and its affiliates’ and subsidiaries’ members, directors, managers, officers and employees not to make any disparaging communication regarding Executive, and no such person or entity will be authorized on the Company’s or any subsidiary’s or affiliate’s behalf to make any such disparaging communications regarding Executive.

Section 19. Recoupment. Executive agrees to reimburse the Company for all or a portion, as determined below, of any bonus or incentive or equity-based compensation paid or awarded to Executive by the Company, if the Board determines that (a) the payment, award or vesting thereof was predicated upon the achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of a material financial restatement, (b) Executive engaged in fraud or misconduct that caused, in whole or in part, the need for the material financial restatement, and (c) a lower payment, award or vesting would have occurred based upon the restated financial results. In such event, Executive agrees to reimburse (in the manner determined by the Board, including cancellation of options or other stock awards) any bonus or incentive or equity-based compensation previously paid, awarded or vested in the amount by which such bonus or incentive or equity-based compensation actually paid, awarded or vested exceeds the lower payment, award or vesting that would have occurred based upon the restated financial result; provided that no reimbursement shall be required if the payment, award or vesting otherwise subject to reimbursement hereunder occurred more than three (3) years prior to the date the applicable reinstatement is disclosed. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any bonus or incentive or equity-based compensation, or other compensation, payable to Executive pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement, plan or arrangement of the

Company shall be subject to repayment or recoupment (clawback) by the Company to the extent applicable under Section 304 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 (and not otherwise exempted) and in accordance with such policies and procedures as the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board may adopt from time to time, including policies and procedures to implement applicable law (including, but not limited to, Section 954 of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Act), stock market or exchange rules and regulations or accounting or tax rules and regulations.

Section 20. Survival. Any provision of this Agreement that is expressly or by implication intended to survive the termination of this Agreement shall survive or remain in effect after the termination of this Agreement.

Section 21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signature of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

This Award is granted under the Plan, which is incorporated herein by this reference and made a part of this Agreement.

Section 2. Terms of SAR.

(a) Generally. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, each SAR constitutes an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company to deliver to Participant, at the time such SAR is validly exercised, an amount, payable in the form of Shares, equal to the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise, over (ii) the Exercise Price per SAR set forth on the cover page of this Agreement (the “Spread”).

(b) Exercisability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, a SAR may be exercised only after if it has vested and become exercisable under Section 2(c) or Section 2(d)(ii), and only before it has expired or been terminated under Section 2(d)(i), Section 2(d)(ii) or Section 2(d)(iii).

(i) Subject to Section 2(d), the SARs shall vest and become exercisable in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth on the cover page of this Agreement.

(ii) If the Participant holds unvested SARs at the time a Change in Control occurs, the SARs shall become 100% vested and exercisable on the date of the Change in Control immediately prior to the consummation thereof.

A-1

(d) Accelerated Vesting; Termination.

(i) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2(d), all of the SARs shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the Expiration Date set forth on the cover page of this Agreement, unless earlier terminated under subsections (ii) or (iii) below.

(ii) In the event of the Participant’s Termination of Service at any time due to Termination Upon Death, Termination For Disability, Termination Without Cause or Resignation For Good Reason, 100% of the SARs granted under this Agreement shall become vested and exercisable, and shall continue to be exercisable until 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the date that is one year after the Termination Date and at such time any unexercised SARs shall terminate, cease to be exercisable and by automatically forfeited to the Company without consideration. For purposes of this Agreement, Cause, Disability, Termination Upon Death, Termination For Disability, Termination Without Cause, Resignation For Good Reason and Termination Date shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Employment Agreement, dated as of September , 2015, by and between the Participant and the Company.

(iii) In the event of the Participant’s Termination of Service at any time under circumstances not described in Section 2(d)(ii), all of the SARs shall terminate simultaneously with the Termination of Service on the Termination Date, including to the extent that the SARs are otherwise vested and exercisable as of the Termination Date, and shall automatically be forfeited to the Company without consideration, and, if otherwise vested and exercisable, shall cease to be exercisable.

During the Participant’s lifetime, the SARs shall be exercisable only by the Participant.

A-2

Section 3. Exercise.

(a) When to Exercise. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or this Agreement, the Participant (or in the case of exercise after the Participant’s death or incapacity, the Participant’s guardian, legal representative, heir or legatee, as the case may be) may exercise his or her SARs that are then exercisable under Section 2, in whole or in part, by following the procedures set forth in this Section 3. If partially exercised, the Participant (or in the case of exercise after the Participant’s death or incapacity, the Participant’s guardian, legal representative, heir or legatee, as the case may be) may thereafter exercise the remaining unexercised portion of the SARs, to the extent that they are then exercisable under Section 2, by following the procedures set forth in this Section 3.

(b) Election to Exercise. To exercise the SARs, the Participant (or in the case of exercise after the Participant’s death or incapacity, the Participant’s guardian, legal representative, heir or legatee, as the case may be) must deliver to the Secretary of the Company (or his or her designee) a written notice (or notice through another previously approved method, which could include a web-based or e-mail system) which sets forth the number of SARs being exercised, together with any additional documents as the Company may require. Each such notice must satisfy whatever then-current procedures apply to the SARs and must contain such representations, warranties and covenants as the Company requires. If someone other than the Participant exercises the SARs, then such person must submit documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company verifying that such person has the legal right to exercise the SARs.

(c) Date of Exercise. The SARs shall be deemed to be exercised on the business day that the Company receives a fully executed and completed exercise notice. If an exercise notice is received on a day that is not a business day, or is received after 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on a business day, then the SARs shall be deemed to be exercised on the first business day immediately following the day such notice is received by the Company.

(d) Settlement. Upon a valid exercise of SARs, the Participant shall be entitled to receive that number of Shares determined by dividing (i) (1) the total number of SARs then being exercised, multiplied by (2) the Spread on the date of exercise, by (ii) the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise.

A-3

(e) Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued upon exercise of SARs, and if the number of Shares otherwise issuable under Section 3(d) upon an exercise of SARs includes a fraction of a Share, then upon such exercise the Participant shall be entitled to receive (i) the number of Shares determined under Section 3(d), rounded down to the nearest whole Share, plus (ii) an amount of cash equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise, multiplied by such fraction of a Share.

(f) Withholding Requirements. The delivery of Shares upon settlement of SARs is conditioned on the Participant making arrangements satisfactory to the Company to enable the Company to satisfy all tax (or other governmental obligation) withholding requirements. In the event that there is any such withholding requirement upon an exercise of SARs, the Committee may, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as the Committee may require, permit the Participant to satisfy any such withholding requirement by having the Company withhold from the number of Shares otherwise issuable to the Participant upon such exercise a number of Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld. If the Committee permits the Participant to satisfy any such withholding requirement pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall remit to the Internal Revenue Service and appropriate state and local revenue agencies, for the credit of the Participant, an amount of cash withholding equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares withheld by the Company as provided above.

(g) Compliance with Law and Regulations. The SARs, their exercise and the obligation of the Company to issue Shares in settlement thereof are subject to all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations, including securities laws, to approvals by any government or regulatory agency as may be required, and to the rules, regulations and other requirements of the stock market or exchange upon which the Shares are then quoted, traded or listed. The Participant may not exercise a SAR if such exercise would violate any securities laws or other applicable law, rule, regulation or requirement.

Section 4. No Rights of Stockholder. A holder of a SAR, as such, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of the Shares underlying the SAR for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Agreement be construed to confer upon the holder

A-4

of a SAR, as such, any of the rights or obligations of a stockholder of the Company, unless and until Shares are actually issued to and held of record by such holder upon settlement of the SARs following valid exercise thereof.

Section 5. Change in Control. Without limiting the Committee’s power under the Plan, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Committee is authorized (but not obligated) to make adjustments to the terms and conditions of the SARs without the need for the consent of the Participant, including, without limitation, the following (or any combination thereof):

(a) The Committee may provide for the continuation or assumption of the SARs and this Agreement by the acquiring or successor entity (or parent thereof), including the Company if it is the surviving entity, or for the substitution of the SARs and this Agreement with a substitute award with terms comparable to the SARs and this Agreement (in each case with appropriate adjustments as to the Exercise Price and the number and type of Shares (or other securities) underlying the Award or substitute award). The determination of such appropriate adjustments and comparability shall be made by the Committee.

(b) The Committee may provide for the cancellation of all or any portion of the SARs for their Intrinsic Value (payable in the form of cash, stock, securities, other property or any combination thereof) based upon the price per Share received or to be received by other stockholders of the Company in the Change in Control transaction. If at the time of a Change in Control such Intrinsic Value is equal to or less than zero (i.e., the Exercise Price of the SARs equals or exceeds the price per Share received or to be received by other stockholders of the Company in the Change in Control transaction), then the Committee may provide for the cancellation of the SARs without the payment of any consideration therefor.

Section 6. Miscellaneous Provisions.

(a) Notices. All notices, requests and other communications under this Agreement (other than a notice of exercise, which shall be provided in accordance with Section 3) shall be in writing and shall be delivered in person (by courier or otherwise), mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or sent by facsimile transmission, as follows:

Exhibit D

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

This Indemnification Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made effective as of September 16, 2015 by and between Health Insurance Innovations, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”) and Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxxxx (“Indemnitee”).

WHEREAS, increased corporate litigation has subjected officers and directors to litigation risks and expenses, and the limitations on the availability of director and officer liability insurance may make it increasingly difficult for the Corporation to attract and retain the most capable persons reasonably available to serve as officers and/or directors of the Corporation; and

WHEREAS, the Corporation desires to provide Indemnitee with specific contractual assurance of Indemnitee’s rights to full indemnification against litigation risks and expenses (regardless, among other things, of any amendment to or revocation of the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) or the Corporation’s Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) or the Operating Agreement of Health Plan Intermediaries Holdings, LLC (the “Operating Agreement”) or any change in the ownership of the Corporation or the composition of its Board of Directors); and

WHEREAS, the Corporation intends that this Agreement provide Indemnitee with greater protection than that which is provided by the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws; and

WHEREAS, Indemnitee’s willingness to serve as an officer and/or director, as the case may be, of the Corporation is predicated, in substantial part, upon the Corporation’s willingness to indemnify him or her in accordance with the principles reflected above, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware, and upon the other undertakings set forth in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the indemnifications provisions set forth in this Agreement are not exclusive and thereby contemplate that contracts may be entered into between the Corporation and its directors, officers and other persons with respect to indemnification; and

WHEREAS, in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as an officer and/or director, as the case may be, of the Corporation, the Corporation has determined and agreed to enter into this Agreement with Indemnitee.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises made in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Corporation and Indemnitee hereby agree as follows:

1. Indemnification.

(a) Third Party Proceedings. The Corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee if Indemnitee is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was, or has agreed to become, an officer and/or director, as the case may be, of the Corporation, or any subsidiary of the Corporation, by reason of any actual or alleged error or misstatement or misleading statement made or suffered by Indemnitee, by reason of any action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee while an officer and/or director, as the case may be, of the Corporation, or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as an officer and/or director, as the case may be, of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including without limitation employee benefit plans and administrative committees thereof), against expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), damages (compensatory, exemplary, punitive or otherwise), costs of attachment or similar bonds, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by the Corporation, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), in each case actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or 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 Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

(b) Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation. The Corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee if Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was, or has agreed to become, an officer and/or director, as the case may be, of the Corporation, or any subsidiary of the Corporation, by reason of any actual or alleged error or misstatement or misleading statement made or suffered by Indemnitee, by reason of any action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee while an officer and/or director, as the case may be, or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as an officer and/or director, as the case may be, of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including without limitation employee benefit plans and administrative committees thereof), against expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), damages (compensatory, exemplary, punitive or otherwise), costs of attachment or similar bonds, judgments, fines and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by the Corporation, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), in each case to the extent actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit 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 Corporation and its stockholders, 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 a final, unappealable order or judgment by a court having jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter of the dispute from which no further right of appeal exists to be liable to the Corporation in the performance of Indemnitee’s duty to the Corporation and its stockholders unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or 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) Mandatory Payment of Expenses. To the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 1(a) or Section 1(b) or the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection therewith.

(d) Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was an officer and/or director, as the case may be, of the Corporation or was serving at the request of the Corporation as an officer and/or director, as the case may be, of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including without limitation employee benefit plans and administrative committees thereof), a witness in any action, suit or proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection therewith.

(e) Serving at the Request of the Corporation. For purposes of this Agreement, if Indemnitee should serve as an officer and/or director, as the case may be, of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including without limitation employee benefit plans and administrative committees thereof) it will be conclusively presumed in the case of any of the foregoing that are “affiliates” of the Corporation as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that Indemnitee was serving at the request of the Corporation.

2. Expenses, Indemnification Procedure.

(a) Advancement of Expenses. The Corporation shall pay all expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of any civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section l hereof (including amounts actually paid in settlement of any such action, suit or proceeding), as such expenses are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding. Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay such amounts advanced only if, and to the extent that, it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized hereby by a final, unappealable order or

judgment by a court having jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter of the dispute from which no further right of appeal exists. Indemnitee’s undertaking hereunder need not be secured and shall be accepted without reference to Indemnitee’s financial ability to make repayment if and to the extent that it shall ultimately be determined as provided in this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement or otherwise.

(b) Notice/Cooperation by Indemnitee. Indemnitee shall give the Corporation notice in writing as soon as practicable of any claim made against Indemnitee for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement; provided, however, that the omission so to notify an officer of the Corporation will not relieve the Corporation from any obligation which it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise unless and only to the extent that such omission can be shown to have prejudiced the Corporation. Notice to the Corporation shall be directed to the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and shall be given in accordance with the provisions of Section 9(d) below. In addition, Indemnitee shall give the Corporation such information and cooperation as it may reasonably require and as shall be within Indemnitee’s power.

(c) Procedure. Any indemnification and advances provided for in Section 1 and this Section 2 shall be made no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the written request of Indemnitee. If a claim under this Agreement, under any statute, or under any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or the Operating Agreement providing for indemnification, is not paid in full by the Corporation (or, in the case of the Operating Agreement, by Health Plan Intermediaries Holdings, LLC) within thirty (30) days after a written request for payment thereof has first been received by the Corporation (or, if pursuant to the Operating Agreement, by Health Plan Intermediaries Holdings, LLC), Indemnitee may, but need not, at any time thereafter bring an action against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, subject to Section 8 of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid for the expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) of bringing such action. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition) that Indemnitee has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under applicable law for the Corporation to indemnify Indemnitee for the amount claimed, but in such case, it shall 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 Corporation and the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Indemnitee shall be entitled to receive interim payments of expenses pursuant to Section 2(a) unless and until such defense may be finally adjudicated by a final, unappealable order or judgment by a court having jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter of the dispute from which no further right of appeal exists. Indemnitee shall be presumed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Corporation, including financial statements, or on information supplied to an Indemnitee by the officers of the Corporation in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Corporation or on information or records given or reports made to the Corporation by an

independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation. In addition, the knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Corporation, unless affiliated with Indemnitee, shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement. Furthermore, the Corporation shall conclusively be presumed to have entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it to induce Indemnitee to accept the position of, or to continue as an officer and/or director, as the case may be, of the Corporation. It is the parties’ intention that if the Corporation contests Indemnitee’s right to indemnification, the question of Indemnitee’s right to indemnification shall be for the court to decide, and neither the failure of the Corporation (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 Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct required by applicable law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (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.

(d) Notice to Insurers. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, the Corporation has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Corporation shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies (unless Indemnitee’s involvement in such proceeding is solely as a witness or there is otherwise no basis for asserting coverage). The Corporation shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.

(e) Selection of Counsel. In the event the Corporation shall be obligated under Section 2(a) hereof to pay the expenses of any proceeding against Indemnitee, the Corporation, if appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the defense of such proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee, upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election so to do. After delivery of such notice and the retention of such counsel by the Corporation, the Corporation will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same 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 Corporation, (B) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Corporation and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense, (C) the Corporation shall not, in fact, have employed counsel to assume the defense of such proceeding or (D) the Corporation is not financially or legally able to perform its indemnification obligations, then the fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Corporation.

(f) Settlement. The Corporation shall not settle any action or claim in any manner which would impose any penalty or limitation on Indemnitee that would not be indemnifiable hereunder or for which indemnification would not be provided by the Corporation without Indemnitee’s written consent.

3. Additional Indemnification Rights, Nonexclusivity, Contribution.

(a) Scope. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Corporation hereby agrees to indemnify the Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law, notwithstanding that such indemnification is not specifically authorized by the other provisions of this Agreement, the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, the Operating Agreement 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 an officer or member of its board of directors, such changes shall be deemed to be within the purview of Indemnitee’s rights and the Corporation’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 an officer or member of its board of directors, 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) Nonexclusively. The indemnification provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled under the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, any agreement (including the Operating Agreement), any vote of stockholders or disinterested members of the Corporation’s Board of Directors, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or otherwise, both as to action in Indemnitee’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. The indemnification provided under this Agreement shall continue as to Indemnitee for any action taken or not taken while serving in an indemnified capacity even though he or she may have ceased to serve in any such capacity at the time of any action, suit or other covered proceeding.

(i) Subject to Section 1 hereof, in respect of any action, suit or proceeding in which the Corporation is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), the Corporation shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount of any judgment or settlement of such action, suit or proceeding without requiring Indemnitee to contribute to such payment and the Corporation hereby waives and relinquishes any right of contribution it may have against Indemnitee. The Corporation shall not enter into any settlement of any action, suit or proceeding in which the Corporation is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding) unless such settlement provides for a full and final release of all claims asserted against Indemnitee.

(ii) If, for any reason, Indemnitee shall elect or be required to pay all or any portion of any judgment or settlement in any action, suit or proceeding in which the Corporation is jointly liable with Indemnitee and for which the Corporation would otherwise be obligated to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement, the Corporation shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, contribute to the amount of such indemnifiable losses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance in writing by the Corporation, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable by Indemnitee in proportion to the relative benefits received by the Corporation and all officers, directors or employees of the Corporation other than Indemnitee, on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, from the transaction from which such action, suit or proceeding arose; provided, however, that the proportion determined on the basis of relative benefit may, to the extent necessary to conform to law, be further adjusted by reference to the relative fault of the Corporation and all officers, directors or employees of the Corporation other than other indemnitees who are jointly liable with Indemnitee, on the one hand, and all indemnitees, including Indemnitee, on the other hand, in connection with the events that resulted in such indemnifiable losses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts, as well as any other equitable considerations which the law may require to be considered. The relative fault of the Corporation and all officers, directors or employees of the Corporation, other than Indemnitee, on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the degree to which their actions were motivated by intent to gain personal profit or advantage, the degree to which their liability is primary or secondary and the degree to which their conduct is active or passive.

(iii) The Corporation hereby agrees to fully indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless from any claims of contribution which may be brought by officers, directors or employees of the Corporation who may be jointly liable with Indemnitee.

4. Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Corporation for some or a portion of the expenses, judgments, fines or penalties actually or reasonably incurred in the investigation, defense, appeal or settlement of any civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such expenses, judgments, fines or penalties to which Indemnitee is entitled. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in an action, suit or proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such action, suit or proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee for all indemnifiable losses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of this Section 4 and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such an action, suit or proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.

5. Mutual Acknowledgment. Both the Corporation and the Indemnitee acknowledge that in certain instances, Federal law or applicable public policy may prohibit the Corporation from indemnifying its officers and directors under this Agreement or otherwise. Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the Corporation may be required in the future to undertake to the Securities and Exchange Commission to submit the question of indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a determination of the Corporation’s right under public policy to indemnify Indemnitee and, in that event, the Indemnitee’s rights and the Corporation’s obligations hereunder shall be subject to that determination.

6. Director and Officer Liability Insurance. The Corporation shall, from time to time, make the good faith determination whether or not it is practicable for the Corporation to obtain and maintain a policy or policies of insurance with a reputable insurance corporation providing the Indemnitee with coverage for losses from wrongful acts, and to ensure the Corporation’s performance of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement. 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 Corporation’s officers and directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall have no obligation to obtain or maintain such insurance if the Corporation 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 Corporation. The Corporation shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

7. Severability. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to require or shall be construed as requiring the Corporation to do or fail to do any act in violation of applicable law. The Corporation’s inability, pursuant to court order, to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable as provided in this Section 7. If this Agreement or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation 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.

8. Exceptions. Any other provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation 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 or claims initiated or brought voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by way of defense, except with respect to proceedings brought to

establish or enforce 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 Corporation in specific cases if the Board of Directors finds it to be appropriate;

(b) Lack of Good Faith. To indemnify Indemnitee for any expenses incurred by Indemnitee with respect to any proceeding instituted by Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement, if a court having jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter of the dispute determines by a final, unappealable order or judgment from which no further right of appeal exists, that each of the material assertions made by Indemnitee in such proceeding was not made in good faith or was frivolous; or

(c) Claims Under Section 16(b). To indemnify Indemnitee for expenses or the payment of profits on account of any suit in which a final, unappealable decision is rendered by a court having jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter of the dispute for an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities of the Corporation in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any similar successor statute.

9. Miscellaneous.

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed under and enforced in accordance with the internal substantive laws of the State of Delaware. Any litigation arising out of or incidental to this Agreement shall be initiated only in a court of competent jurisdiction located within the State of Delaware. Each party hereby consents to the personal jurisdiction of the State of Delaware, acknowledges that venue is proper in any state or Federal court in the State of Delaware, agrees that any action related to this Agreement must be brought in a state or Federal court in the State of Delaware and waives any objection that may exist, now or in the future, with respect to any of the foregoing.

(b) Entire Agreement; Enforcement of Rights. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter herein and merges all prior discussions and agreements between them. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the parties to this Agreement. The failure by either party to enforce any rights under this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any rights of such party.

(c) Construction. This Agreement is the result of negotiations between and has been reviewed by each of the parties hereto and their respective counsel, if any; accordingly, this Agreement shall be deemed to be the product of all of the parties hereto, and no ambiguity shall be construed in favor of or against any one of the parties hereto.

(d) Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given on the date of
