EXECUTION COPY

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of this [•] day of January, 2017 between VCA Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [•] (“Indemnitee”).

WITNESSETH THAT:

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) believes that highly skilled and competent persons are becoming more reluctant to serve companies as directors or officers unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance and indemnification against inordinate risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of such companies;

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 an inability to attract and retain such persons is detrimental to the best interests of the Company, the Company’s stockholders and the Company’s businesses and operations 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 and prudent 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 organizational documents of the Company and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Indemnitee’s agreement to serve as an officer or director from and after the date hereof, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Service by Indemnitee. The Indemnitee will serve and/or continue to serve as a director or officer of the Company faithfully and to the best of the Indemnitee’s ability so long as the Indemnitee is duly elected or appointed and until such time as the Indemnitee is removed, terminated, or tenders a resignation.

2. Indemnification of Indemnitee.

(a) General. The Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee (i) as provided in this Agreement and (ii) subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to the full extent permitted by applicable law and in a manner permitted by such law.

(b) Proceedings Other Than Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Except as provided in Section 7 hereof, Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section 2(b) if, by reason of his Corporate Status (as hereinafter defined), the Indemnitee is or was, or is or was threatened to be made, a party to or is or was otherwise involved in a Proceeding (as hereinafter defined) other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 2(b), Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Losses (as hereinafter defined) actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee or on the Indemnitee’s behalf, in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, but only if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

(c) Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Except as provided in Section 7 hereof, Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section 2(c) if, by reason of his Corporate Status, the Indemnitee is or was, or is or was threatened to be made, a party to or is or was otherwise involved in any Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 2(c), Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses (as hereinafter defined) actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee, or on the Indemnitee’s behalf, in connection with such Proceeding, but only if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company; provided, however, if applicable law so provides, no indemnification against such Expenses shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter in such Proceeding as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless (and only to the extent) that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Court of Chancery”) or the court in which such Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such Expenses that the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Indemnitee, by reason of the Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, is or was, or is or was threatened to be made, a party to any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor, then the Company shall not indemnify the Indemnitee for any judgment, fines, or amounts paid in settlement to the Company in connection with such Proceeding.

(d) Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his Corporate Status, a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding, he shall be indemnified to the maximum extent permitted by law, as such may be amended from time to time, against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with the defense of such Proceeding. 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 (including dismissal without prejudice of certain claims), the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in defending each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. To the extent the Indemnitee has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defending any Proceeding, or in defending any claim, issue, or matter therein, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, as applicable, as provided in this Section 2(d) regardless of whether the Indemnitee met the standards of conduct set forth in Sections 2(b) and 2(c) hereof.

3. Contribution. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever other than due to statutory limitations of applicable law or the Indemnitee’s failure to meet the standards of conduct set forth in Sections 2(b) and 2(c), the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee, by reason of his Corporate Status, for any and all Losses 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, on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, 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), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, in connection with such event(s) and/or transaction(s).

2

4. Settlements. Anything in this Agreement or the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall have no obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee for any amounts paid by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in settlement of any Proceeding, unless the Company has consented in writing to such settlement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall not settle any claim in any manner that would impose any fine or any obligation on the Indemnitee without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

5. Indemnification for Expenses of a Witness. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to the extent that the Indemnitee, by reason of the Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, is or was, or is or was threatened to be made, a witness in any Proceeding to which the Indemnitee is not a party, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee or on the Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for Expenses incurred in connection with being or threatened to be made a witness, as provided in this Section 5, regardless of whether the Indemnitee met the standards of conduct set forth in Sections 2(b) and 2(c) hereof.

6. Advancement of Expenses. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, but subject to Section 7 hereof, if, by reason of the Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, the Indemnitee is or was, or is or was threatened to be made, a party to, or is or was otherwise involved in, or is or was, or is or was threatened to be made, a witness to any Proceeding (including, without limitation, a Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor), then the Company shall advance all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in connection with any such Proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding within twenty (20) calendar days after the receipt by the Company of a written request for such advance or advances from time to time. Such written request shall include or be accompanied by a statement or statements reasonably evidencing the Expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee and for which advancement is requested, and shall include or be preceded or accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay any Expenses advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses under this Agreement or otherwise. Any advances and undertakings to repay pursuant to this Section 6 shall be unsecured and interest free. The Indemnitee shall be entitled to advancement of Expenses as provided in this Section 6 regardless of any determination by or on behalf of the Company that the Indemnitee has not met the standards of conduct set forth in Sections 2(b) and 2(c) hereof.

7. Proceedings Against the Company; Certain Securities Laws Claims.

(a) Anything in Section 2 or Section 6 hereof to the contrary notwithstanding, except as provided in Section 10 hereof, with respect to a Proceeding initiated against the Company by the Indemnitee (whether initiated by the Indemnitee in or by reason of such person’s capacity as an officer or director of the Company or in or by reason of any other capacity, including, without limitation, as an employee or agent of the Company or a director, officer, employee, or agent of Another Enterprise (as hereinafter defined)), the Company shall not be required to indemnify or to advance Expenses to the Indemnitee in connection with prosecuting such Proceeding (or any part thereof) or in defending any counterclaim, cross-claim, affirmative defense, or like claim of the Company in such Proceeding (or part thereof) unless such Proceeding was authorized by the Board. For purposes of this Section 7, a compulsory counterclaim by the Indemnitee against the Company in connection with a Proceeding initiated against the Indemnitee by the Company shall not be considered a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated against the Company by the Indemnitee, and the Indemnitee shall have all rights of indemnification and advancement with respect to any such compulsory counterclaim in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement.

3

(b) Anything in Section 2 (other than Section 2(d)) or Section 6 hereof to the contrary notwithstanding, except as provided in Section 2(d) hereof with respect to indemnification of Expenses in connection with whole or partial success on the merits or otherwise in defending any Proceeding, the Company shall not be required to indemnify the Indemnitee or advance Expenses 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law, or (ii) any reimbursement of the Company by the Indemnitee of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by the 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-Oxley 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).

8. Procedures and Presumptions for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification. It is the intent of this Agreement to secure for Indemnitee rights of indemnity that are as favorable as may be permitted under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”) and public policy of the State of Delaware. Accordingly, the parties agree that the following procedures and presumptions shall apply in the event of any question as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement:

(a) To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company (following the final disposition of the applicable Proceeding) a written request, for indemnification, including therein or therewith, except to the extent previously provided to the Company in connection with a request or requests for advancement pursuant to Section 6 hereof, a statement or statements reasonably evidencing all Losses incurred or paid by or on behalf of the Indemnitee and for which indemnification is requested. The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board in writing that the Indemnitee has requested indemnification.

(b) Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of Section 8(a) hereof, if required by applicable law and to the extent not otherwise provided pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, a determination with respect to the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification shall be made in the specific case as follows: (i) if a Change in Control (as hereinafter defined) shall have occurred and if so requested in writing by the Indemnitee, by Independent Counsel (as hereinafter defined) in a written opinion to the Board; or (ii) if a Change in Control shall not have occurred (or if a Change in Control shall have occurred but the Indemnitee shall not have requested that indemnification be determined by Independent Counsel as provided in subpart (i) of this Section 8(b)), (A) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined), even though less than a quorum of the Board, or (B) by a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board, (C) if there are no such Disinterested Directors or, if such Disinterested Directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, or (D) by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with applicable law. Notice in writing of any determination as to the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification shall be delivered to the Indemnitee promptly after such determination is made, and if such determination of entitlement to indemnification has been made by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, then such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such written opinion. If it is determined that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, then payment to the Indemnitee of all amounts to which the Indemnitee is determined to be entitled shall be made within twenty (20) calendar days after such determination. If it is determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, then the written notice to the Indemnitee (or, if such determination has been made by Independent Counsel in a written opinion, the copy of such written opinion delivered to the Indemnitee) shall disclose the basis upon which such determination is

4

based. The Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons, or entity making the determination with respect to the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons, or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information that is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and that is reasonably available to the Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification.

(c) If the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 8(b) hereof, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 8(c). If a Change in Control shall not have occurred (or if a Change in Control shall have occurred but the Indemnitee shall not have requested that indemnification be determined by Independent Counsel as provided in subpart (i) of Section 8(b)), then the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board, and the Company shall give written notice to the Indemnitee advising the Indemnitee of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. If a Change in Control shall have occurred and the Indemnitee shall have requested that indemnification be determined by Independent Counsel, then the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Indemnitee (unless the Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board, in which event the preceding sentence shall apply), and the Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. In either event, the Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, may, within ten (10) calendar days after such written notice of selection has been given, deliver to the Company or to the Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the law firm or person so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 14 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth the 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 law firm or person so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or the Court of Chancery or another court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware has determined that such objection is without merit. If the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 8(b) hereof and, following the expiration of twenty (20) calendar days after submission by the Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 8(a) hereof, Independent Counsel shall not have been selected, or an objection thereto has been made and not withdrawn, then either the Company or the Indemnitee may petition the Court of Chancery or other court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for resolution of any objection that shall have been made by the Company or the Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for appointment as Independent Counsel of a law firm or person selected by such court (or selected by such person as the court shall designate), and the law firm or person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the law firm or person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 8(b) hereof. Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding pursuant to Section 10(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). If the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 8(b) hereof, then the Company shall engage, and be responsible for the reasonable fees and Expenses of, such Independent Counsel.

9. Burden of Proof; Defenses; and Presumptions.

(a) In any judicial proceeding pursuant to Section 10 hereof brought by the Indemnitee to enforce rights to indemnification or to an advancement of Expenses hereunder, or in any action, suit, or proceeding brought by the Company to recover an advancement of Expenses (whether pursuant to the terms of an undertaking or otherwise), the burden shall be on the Company to prove that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such an advancement of Expenses, as the case may be.

5

(b) It shall be a defense in any judicial proceeding pursuant to Section 10 hereof to enforce rights to indemnification under Section 2(b) or Section 2(c) hereof (but not in any judicial proceeding pursuant to Section 10 hereof to enforce a right to an advancement of Expenses under Section 6 hereof) that the Indemnitee has not met the standards of conduct set forth in Section 2(b) or Section 2(c), as the case may be, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Company. With respect to any judicial proceeding pursuant to Section 10 hereof brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder, or any action, suit, or proceeding brought by the Company to recover an advancement of Expenses (whether pursuant to the terms of an undertaking or otherwise), neither (i) the failure of the Company (including by its directors or Independent Counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action, suit, or proceeding that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standards of conduct, nor (ii) an actual determination by the Company (including by the Board or Independent Counsel) that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standards of conduct, shall create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standards of conduct or, in the case of a judicial proceeding pursuant to Section 10 hereof brought by the Indemnitee seeking to enforce a right to indemnification, be a defense to such proceeding.

(c) 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 Company or Other Enterprise (as hereinafter defined), including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of the Company or Other Enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Company or Other Enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Company or Other Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Company or Other Enterprise. In addition, the knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Company or Other Enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 9(c) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which the Indemnitee may be deemed or found to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement.

(d) 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.

10. Remedies of Indemnitee.

(a) In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement, (iii) except when the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 8(b) hereof, no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 8(b) of this Agreement within sixty (60) calendar days after receipt by the Company of the Indemnitee’s written request for indemnification, (iv) under circumstances in which the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 8(b) hereof, no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 8(b) hereof within eighty (80) calendar days after receipt by the Company of the Indemnitee’s written request for indemnification (unless an objection to the selection of such Independent Counsel has been made and substantiated and not withdrawn, in which case the applicable time period shall be seventy (70) calendar days after the Court of Chancery or another court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware (or such person

6

appointed by such court to make such determination) has determined or appointed the person to act as Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 8(b) hereof), (v) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Section 2(d) or Section 5 of this Agreement within twenty (20) calendar days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, or (vi) payment of indemnification pursuant to Section 2(b) or Section 2(c) of this Agreement is not made within twenty (20) calendar days after a determination has been made pursuant to Section 8(b) that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, then the Indemnitee shall be entitled to seek an adjudication by the Court of Chancery of the Indemnitee’s entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses. The Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding seeking an adjudication within one hundred eighty (180) calendar days following the date on which the Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 10(a); provided, however, that the foregoing clause shall not apply in respect of a proceeding brought by the Indemnitee to enforce his or her rights to indemnification under Section 2(d) of this Agreement.

(b) In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 8(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 10 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial on the merits, and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of the adverse determination under Section 8(b).

(c) If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 8(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 10, absent (i) a misstatement or misrepresentation by the Indemnitee (or anyone acting on the Indemnitee’s behalf) of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make the Indemnitee’s statement (or statements of persons acting on behalf of the Indemnitee) not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification or in connection with the provision of information or documentation pursuant to the last sentence of Section 8(b), or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.

(d) In the event that Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 10, seeks a judicial adjudication of his rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement then the Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the Company, and shall be indemnified by the Company against, any and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of such Indemnitee in such judicial adjudication, but only if (and only to the extent) the Indemnitee prevails therein. If it shall be determined in said judicial adjudication that the Indemnitee is entitled to receive part but not all of the indemnification or advancement of Expenses sought, the Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such judicial adjudication shall be appropriately prorated.

11. Non-Exclusivity; Insurance; Primacy of Indemnification; Subrogation.

(a) Except to the extent expressly provided herein, and only to such extent, 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 Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the Company’s Bylaws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders, a resolution of directors of the Company or otherwise, both as to action in or by reason of the Indemnitee’s Corporate Status and as to action in or by reason of any other capacity of the Indemnitee while serving as a director or officer of the Company. No right or remedy herein 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; provided that, in no event shall Indemnitee be entitled to duplication of payments in respect of any Losses or the advancement of any Expenses. In the event of any change after the date of this Agreement in any applicable law, statute, or rule that expands the power of a Delaware

7

corporation to indemnify a member of its board of directors or an officer, employee, agent, or fiduciary, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greatest benefits afforded by such change. Anything in this Section 11 to the contrary notwithstanding, to the extent the time periods specified in Section 6 and Section 10(a) hereof with respect to the time at which the Indemnitee shall be entitled to seek an adjudication as to the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification or advancement differ from similar time periods specified in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, the time periods set forth in Section 6 and Section 10(a) hereof shall control and be binding on the Indemnitee and the Company and shall be deemed a waiver of any contrary right specified in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws. 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 Another 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 directors’ and officers’ 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. 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 Another Enterprise, the provision of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance as provided in this Section 11(b) shall be in addition to the Company’s obligations under Sections 2 and 6 hereof and shall not be deemed to be in satisfaction of those obligations.

(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) Except to the extent required by applicable law and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment to Indemnitee with respect to amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder (or for which advancement is otherwise provided hereunder) if and to the extent that the Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or otherwise. Nothing hereunder is intended to affect any right of contribution of or against the Company in the event the Company and any other person or persons have co-equal obligations to indemnify or advance Expenses to Indemnitee.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company’s obligation to indemnify or advance Expenses hereunder to the Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification or advancement of Expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise with respect to the Proceeding for which indemnification or advancement of Expenses is sought.

8

12. Survival of Rights; Binding Effect; Successors and Assigns.

(a) The indemnification and advancement of Expenses and other rights provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Agreement shall continue during the period that the Indemnitee is a director or officer of the Company and shall continue through and after the Termination Date (as hereinafter defined) so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any Proceeding (including any appeal thereto), by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, with respect to claims arising from any action taken or omitted (or that are alleged to have been taken or omitted) by the Indemnitee, or from any facts or events that occurred (or that are alleged to have occurred), on or before the Termination Date, and shall further continue for such period of time following the conclusion of any such Proceeding as may be reasonably necessary for Indemnitee to enforce rights and remedies pursuant to this Agreement as provided in Section 10 of this Agreement.

(b) This Agreement shall be binding upon the Indemnitee and upon the Company and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee’s heirs, personal representatives, executors, administrators, and assigns and to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns.

(c) The Company further agrees that in the event the Company or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any corporation or entity, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Company as a result of such transaction assume the obligations of the Company set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitations, the requirements with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance set forth in Section 11.

13. Enforcement.

(a) The Company expressly acknowledges, confirms, and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and has assumed the obligations imposed on the Company hereby in order to induce the Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve as a director or officer of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that the Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving and continuing to serve in such capacity. In addition, the Company and Indemnitee acknowledge that in certain instances, federal law or applicable public policy may prohibit the Company from indemnifying its directors, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries under this Agreement or otherwise. Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the Company may be required in the future to undertake with the Securities and Exchange Commission to submit the question of indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a determination of the Company’s rights under public policy to indemnify Indemnitee.

(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.
