Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

(c) Reliance
on Exemptions . The Purchaser understands that the Common Stock being offered hereby is being offered and sold to
the Purchaser in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities
laws, and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations,
warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability
of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire such Common Stock.

(d) Governmental
Review . The Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental
agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Common Stock offered hereby.

(e) Transfer
or Resale . The Purchaser understands that (i) except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, the sale
or resale of the Common Stock offered hereby has not been and is not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities

or otherwise transfer the Common Stock only in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.02(e) and that is an Accredited
Investor; and (ii) neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register such Common Stock under the Securities

the foregoing or anything else contained herein to the contrary, the Common Stock offered hereby may be pledged as collateral in
connection with a bona fide margin account or other lending arrangement, provided such pledge is consistent with applicable laws,
rules and regulations.

(f) No
Disqualification Events . Neither (i) the Purchaser, (ii) any of its directors, executive officers, other officers that may

the Securities Act and disclosed reasonably in advance of the Closing in writing in reasonable detail to the Company.

(g) Legends . The
Purchaser understands that the certificates and instruments evidencing the Common Stock will bear a restrictive legend in substantially
the following form:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED
STATES OR IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE
ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS UNLESS OFFERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED
PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THOSE LAWS.

The legend set forth above shall be removed
and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of any Common Stock upon which it is stamped, if, unless
otherwise required by state securities laws, (i) the sale of such Common Stock is registered under the Securities Act (including
registration pursuant to Rule 416 thereunder) or (ii) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel stating that
a public or private sale or transfer of such Common Stock may be made without registration under the Securities Act. In
the event the above legend is removed from any certificate evidencing the Common Stock due to the declaration of effectiveness
of a registration statement covering the resale of such Common Stock and thereafter the effectiveness of such registration statement
is suspended or the Company determines that a supplement or amendment thereto is required by applicable securities laws, then,
upon reasonable advance written notice to the Purchaser, the Company may require that the above legend be placed on any certificate
evidencing such Common Stock that cannot then be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement and the Purchaser shall cooperate
in the replacement of such legend. Such legend shall thereafter be removed when such Common Stock may again be sold

of demand, notice of protest, notice of nonpayment, notice of dishonor or other notice of any kind, including but not limited to

15 | Loan Agreement

F. Indemnification .

suits, losses, damages, assessments, fines, penalties, costs or other expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and

from the use or existence of Hazardous Materials, whether
such claim proves to be true or false and in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative,
contributory or sole negligence of Lender or its successors and assigns . Borrower further agrees that its indemnity
obligations shall include, but are not limited to, liability for damages resulting from the personal injury or death of an employee
of Borrower, regardless of whether Borrower has paid the employee under the workers’ compensation laws of any state or other
similar federal or state legislation for the protection of employees. The term “property damage” as used in this paragraph
includes, but is not limited to, damage to any real or personal property of Borrower, Lender, and of any third parties. Borrower’s

of Jury Trial. The parties irrevocably and voluntarily waive any right they may have to a trial by jury in respect of the resolution
of any controversies or claims between Borrower and Lender, whether arising in contract, tort or by statute, including but not
limited to controversies or claims that arise out of or relate to: (i) this Agreement (including any renewals, extensions or modifications);
or (ii) any document related to this Agreement. This provision is a material inducement for the parties entering into this Agreement.

J. Submission

PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER IN LAW OR EQUITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST LENDER OR

Promissory Note

Date: [__________], 2017 Amount $10,000,000

Lender: 210/CRDS Investment, LLC 8214 Westchester Drive, Suite 950 Dallas, Texas 75225 | Borrower: Crossroads Systems, Inc. 11000 North Mopac Expressway, Suite 150 Austin, Texas 78759

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned Borrower
unconditionally promises to pay to the order of Lender, its successors and assigns, without setoff, at its offices indicated at
the beginning of this Promissory Note (this “ Note ”), or at such other place as may be designated by Lender,
the lesser of (i) Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) plus any PIK Interest (defined below), or (ii) the unpaid amount of Loans as
may be advanced hereunder from time to time, in immediately available funds, together with interest computed daily on the outstanding
principal balance hereunder (including PIK Interest added to this Note as principal from time to time in accordance with the terms
of this Note), at an annual interest rate, and in accordance with the payment schedule, indicated below.

This Note is executed in connection with
that certain Loan Agreement dated the date hereof, by and between Borrower and Lender (as modified, amended, renewed, extended
or restated from time to time, the “ Loan Agreement ”). Capitalized terms used, but not defined, herein
shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

1. Rate. Subject to Section 8 below, the interest rate is a rate per annum equal to ten percent (10%) if paid in cash and
equal to twelve (12%) if paid in kind in accordance with Section 2 . Interest will be calculated on the basis of actual
number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) elapsed but computed as if each calendar year consisted of
360 days (unless the calculation would result in an interest rate greater than the Maximum Rate (as defined in Section 10 below), in which event interest will be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be). All interest
rate determinations and calculations by Lender are conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

2. Payment
Schedule. The principal of and interest on each Loan shall be due and payable as follows:

(a) Interest
shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears, commencing on the last Business Day of the calendar quarter following the making
of such Loan, and thereafter, on last Business Day of each succeeding calendar quarter during the term of such Loan (each such
date being an “ Interest Accrual Date ”) and on the date that is five (5) years after the making of such
Loan (each, an “ Advance Maturity Date ”); and

(b) The
entire unpaid principal balance of each Loan, and all accrued unpaid interest on such Loan shall be due and payable in full on
the applicable Advance Maturity Date;

provided, however , that, on any
Interest Accrual Date, Borrower may elect, in its discretion, that the amount of interest on this Note due on such Interest Accrual
Date (“ PIK Interest ”) be paid by an automatic advance under this Note on such Interest Accrual Date in
an amount equal to the amount of such PIK Interest. PIK Interest shall be added to and become a part of the unpaid principal balance
of this Note and shall bear interest as provided for herein. “ Business Day ” means any day other than
a Saturday, Sunday, or day on which national banks are authorized to be closed under the laws of the State of Texas.

3. Revolving
Feature . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement, Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow hereunder.
Lender shall incur no liability for its refusal to advance funds based upon its determination that any conditions of such further
advances have not been met. Lender’s records of the amounts borrowed from time to time hereunder shall be conclusive proof
thereof.

4. Payments .
All payments on the Note shall be made to Lender at its principal office at 8214 Westchester Drive, Suite 950, Dallas, Texas 75225
in federal or other immediately available funds. Payments shall be applied first to accrued interest and then to unpaid principal.
If any payment is scheduled to become due and payable on a day which is not a Business Day, then such payment shall instead become
due and payable on the immediately following Business Day and interest on the principal portion of such payment shall be payable
at the then applicable rate during such extension.

5. Waivers,
Consents and Covenants . Borrower, any indorser or guarantor hereof, or any other party hereto (individually an “ Obligor ”
and collectively “ Obligors ”) and each of them jointly and severally: (a) waive presentment, demand, protest,
notice of demand, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration of maturity, notice of protest, notice of nonpayment,
notice of dishonor, and any other notice required to be given under the law to any Obligor in connection with the delivery, acceptance,
performance, default or enforcement of this Note, any indorsement or guaranty of this Note, or any other documents executed in
connection with this Note or any other Loan Document; (b) consent to all delays, extensions, renewals or other modifications of
this Note or the Loan Documents, or waivers of any term hereof or of the Loan Documents, or release or discharge by Lender of any
of Obligors, or release, substitution or exchange of any security for the payment hereof, or the failure to act on the part of
Lender, or any indulgence shown by Lender (without notice to or further assent from any of Obligors), and agree that no such action,
failure to act or failure to exercise any right or remedy by Lender shall in any way affect or impair the obligations of any Obligors
or be construed as a waiver by Lender of, or otherwise affect, any of Lender’s rights under this Note, under any indorsement
or guaranty of this Note or under any of the Loan Documents; and (c) agree to pay, on demand, all costs and expenses of collection
or defense of this Note or of any indorsement or guaranty hereof and/or the enforcement or defense of Lender’s rights with
respect to, or the administration, supervision, preservation, or protection of, or realization upon, any property securing payment
hereof, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including fees related to any suit, mediation or arbitration
proceeding, out of court payment agreement, trial, appeal, bankruptcy proceedings or other proceeding, in such amount as may be
determined reasonable by any arbitrator or court, whichever is applicable.

6. Prepayments .
Borrower may make prepayments of principal in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty. Any such prepayment shall
be made together with payment of interest accrued on the amount of principal being prepaid through the date of such prepayment.

7. Events
of Default . Any Event of Default under and as defined in the Loan Agreement shall be a default hereunder.

8. Remedies
upon Default . Whenever there is a default under this Note (a) the entire balance outstanding hereunder and all other obligations
of any Obligor to Lender (however acquired or evidenced) shall, at the option of Lender, become immediately due and payable and
any obligation of Lender to permit further borrowing under this Note shall immediately cease and terminate, and/or (b) to the extent
permitted by law, the rate of interest on the unpaid principal shall be increased at Lender’s discretion up to the Maximum
Rate, or if none, eighteen percent (18%) per annum (the “ Default Rate ”). The provisions herein for a
Default Rate shall not be deemed to extend the time for any payment hereunder or to constitute a “grace period” giving
Obligors a right to cure any default. At Lender’s option, any accrued and unpaid interest, fees or charges may, for purposes
of computing and accruing interest on a daily basis after the due date of the Note or any installment thereof, be deemed to be
a part of the principal balance, and interest shall accrue on a daily compounded basis after such date at the Default Rate provided
in this Note until the entire outstanding balance of principal and interest is paid in full. Upon a default under this Note, Lender
is hereby authorized at any time, at its option and without notice or demand, to set off and charge against any deposit accounts
of any Obligor (as well as any money, instruments, securities, documents, chattel paper, credits, claims, demands, income and any
other property, rights and interests of any Obligor), which at any time shall come into the possession or custody or under the
control of Lender or any of its agents, affiliates or correspondents, any and all obligations due hereunder. Additionally, Lender
shall have all rights and remedies available under each of the Loan Documents, as well as all rights and remedies available at
law or in equity.

9. Non-Waiver .
The failure at any time of Lender to exercise any of its options or any other rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver thereof,
nor shall it be a bar to the exercise of any of its options or rights at a later date. All rights and remedies of Lender shall
be cumulative and may be pursued singly, successively or together, at the option of Lender. The acceptance by Lender of any partial
payment shall not constitute a waiver of any default or of any of Lender’s rights under this Note. No waiver of any of its
rights hereunder, and no modification or amendment of this Note, shall be deemed to be made by Lender unless the same shall be
in writing, duly signed on behalf of Lender; each such waiver shall apply only with respect to the specific instance involved,
and shall in no way impair the rights of Lender or the obligations of Obligors to Lender in any other respect at any other time.

10. Limitation. Notwithstanding any provision of this Note or any other agreement or commitment between Borrower and Lender, whether written
or oral, express or implied, Lender shall never be entitled to charge, receive, or collect, nor shall amounts received hereunder
be credited so that Lender shall be paid, as interest a sum greater than interest at the Maximum Rate. It is the intention of the
parties that the Note, and all instruments securing the payment of the Note or executed or delivered in connection therewith, shall
comply with applicable law. If Lender ever contracts for, charges, receives or collects anything of value which is deemed to be
interest under applicable law, and if the occurrence of any circumstance or contingency, whether acceleration of maturity of the
Note, prepayment of the Note, delay in advancing proceeds of the Note, or any other event, should cause such interest to exceed
the maximum lawful amount, any amount which exceeds interest at the Maximum Rate shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid
principal balance of the Note or any other indebtedness owed to Lender by Borrower, and if the Note and such other indebtedness
are paid in full, any remaining excess shall be paid to Borrower. In determining whether the interest exceeds interest at the Maximum
Rate, the total amount of interest shall be spread, prorated and amortized throughout the entire term of the Note until its payment
in full. The term “ Maximum Rate ” as used in this Note means the maximum nonusurious rate of interest
per annum permitted by whichever of applicable United States federal law or Texas law permits the higher interest rate, including
to the extent permitted by applicable law, any amendments thereof hereafter or any new law hereafter coming into effect to the
extent a higher Maximum Rate is permitted thereby. To the extent, if any, that Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code, as amended,
(the “ Act ”) is relevant to Lender for purposes of determining the Maximum Rate, the parties elect to
determine the Maximum Rate under the Act pursuant to the “weekly ceiling” from time to time in effect, as referred
to and defined in § 303.001-303.016 of the Act; subject, however, to any right Lender subsequently may have under applicable
law to change the method of determining the Maximum Rate.

11. Applicable
Law, Venue and Jurisdiction. Borrower agrees that this Note shall be deemed to have been made in the State of Texas at LENDER’s
address indicated at the beginning of this Note and shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State
of Texas and is performable in dallas, dallas county, texas. In any litigation in connection with or to enforce this Note or any
ENDORSEMENT or guaranty of this Note or any Loan Documents, Obligors, and each of them, irrevocably consent to and confer personal
jurisdiction on the courts of the State of Texas or the United States courts located within the State of Texas. Nothing contained
herein shall, however, prevent LENDER from bringing any action or exercising any rights within any other state or jurisdiction
or from obtaining personal jurisdiction by any other means available under applicable law.

12. Partial
Invalidity . The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this Note shall not affect the enforceability or validity
of any other provision herein and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Note or of the Loan Documents to
any person or circumstance shall not affect the enforceability or validity of such provision as it may apply to other persons or
circumstances.

13. Binding
Effect . This Note shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, Obligors and Lender and their respective successors,
assigns, heirs and personal representatives, provided, however, that no obligations of Borrower or Obligors hereunder can be assigned

a Registration Statement on Form S-1 or any successor form thereto (each, a “ Long-Form Registration ”).

Registration. Upon receipt of any such request, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than five (5) days following
receipt thereof) deliver notice of such request to all other holders of Registrable Securities who shall then have five (5) days
from the date such notice is given to notify the Company in writing of their desire to be included in such registration. The Company
shall prepare and file with (or confidentially submit to) the Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-1 or any successor
form thereto covering all of the Registrable Securities that the holders thereof have requested to be included in such Long-Form
Registration within sixty (60) days after the date on which the initial request is given and shall use its best efforts to cause
such Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable thereafter. The Company shall not
be required to effect a Long-Form Registration more than two (2) times for the holders of Registrable Securities as a group; provided ,
that a Registration Statement shall not count as a Long-Form Registration requested under this Section 2(a) unless and until it
has become effective and the holders requesting such registration are able to register and sell at least a majority of the Registrable
Securities requested to be included in such registration.

(b) After
the Registration Date, the Company shall use its best efforts to qualify and remain qualified to register the offer and sale of
securities under the Securities Act pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or any successor form thereto. At such time
as the Company shall have qualified for the use of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or any successor form thereto, the holders
of Registrable Securities shall have the right to request an unlimited number of registrations under the Securities Act of all
or any portion of their Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or any similar short-form Registration
Statement (each, a “ Short-Form Registration ” and, collectively with each Long-Form Registration and Shelf
Registration (as defined below), a “ Demand Registration ”). Each request for a Short-Form Registration
shall specify the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Short-Form Registration. Upon receipt of any
such request, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than five (5) days following receipt thereof) deliver notice of
such request to all other holders of Registrable Securities who shall then have five (5) days from the date such notice is given
to notify the Company in writing of their desire to be included in such registration. The Company shall prepare and file with (or
confidentially submit to) the Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or any successor form thereto covering all of the
Registrable Securities that the holders thereof have requested to be included in such Short-Form Registration within thirty (30)
days after the date on which the initial request is given and shall use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to
be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable thereafter.

4

(c) At
such time as the Company shall have qualified for the use of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or the then appropriate form
for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule
thereto (a “ Shelf Registration Statement ”), the holders of Registrable Securities shall have the right
to request registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of their Registrable Securities for an offering on a delayed
or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto (a “ Shelf Registration ”).
Each request for a Shelf Registration shall specify the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Shelf
Registration. Upon receipt of any such request, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than five (5) days following
receipt thereof) deliver notice of such request to all other holders of Registrable Securities who shall then have five (5) days
from the date such notice is given to notify the Company in writing of their desire to be included in such registration. The Company
shall prepare and file with (or confidentially submit to) the Commission a Shelf Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable
Securities that the holders thereof have requested to be included in such Shelf Registration within ten (10) days after the date
on which the initial request is given and shall use its best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared
effective by the Commission as soon as practicable thereafter.

(d) The
Company shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration within three (3) months after the effective date of a previous
Demand Registration, Shelf Takedown or a previous Piggyback Registration in which holders of Registrable Securities were permitted
to register the offer and sale under the Securities Act, and actually sold, at least a majority of the shares of Registrable Securities
requested to be included therein. The Company may postpone for up to ninety (90) days the filing or effectiveness of a Registration
Statement for a Demand Registration or a supplement (a “ Shelf Supplement ”) for the purpose of effecting
an offering pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto (a “ Shelf Takedown ”)
if the Board determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that such Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown would (i) materially
interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate organization, financing, securities offering or other similar transaction involving
the Company; (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving
as confidential; or (iii) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act; provided ,
that in such event the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities initiating such Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown
shall be entitled to withdraw such request and, if such request for a Demand Registration is withdrawn, such Demand Registration
shall not count as one of the permitted Demand Registrations hereunder and the Company shall pay all registration expenses in connection
with such registration. The Company may delay a Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown hereunder only once in any period of 12 consecutive
months.

(e) If
the holders of the Registrable Securities initially requesting a Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown elect to distribute the
Registrable Securities covered by their request in an underwritten offering, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their
request made pursuant to Section 2(a), Section 2(b), or Section 2(c) and the Company shall include such information in its notice
to the other holders of Registrable Securities. The Company shall select the investment banking firm or firms to act as the managing
underwriter or underwriters in connection with such offering, which underwriter must be reasonably acceptable to the holders of
a majority of the Registrable Securities initially requesting the offering.

5

(f) The
Company shall not include in any Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown any securities which are not Registrable Securities without
the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities initially requesting such Demand Registration
or Shelf Takedown. If a Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter of
the requested Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown advises the Company and the holders of Registrable Securities in writing that
in its reasonable and good faith opinion the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in the Demand Registration
or Shelf Takedown, including all Registrable Securities and all other shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such underwritten
offering, exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock which can be sold in such underwritten offering and/or the number of shares
of Common Stock proposed to be included in such Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown would adversely affect the price per share
of the Common Stock proposed to be sold in such underwritten offering, the Company shall include in such Demand Registration or
Shelf Takedown (i) first, the shares of Common Stock that the holders of Registrable Securities propose to sell, and (ii) second,
the shares of Common Stock proposed to be included therein by any other Persons (including shares of Common Stock to be sold for
the account of the Company and/or other holders of Common Stock) allocated among such Persons in such manner as they may agree.
If the managing underwriter determines that less than all of the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold can be included in
such offering, then the Registrable Securities that are included in such offering shall be allocated pro rata among the respective
holders thereof on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder.

(g) Upon
receipt of any Demand Registration, the Company shall not file any other Registration Statement without the consent of the holders
of a majority of the Registrable Securities requesting registration until the consummation of the sale of Registrable Securities
contemplated by the applicable Demand Registration; provided that the Company shall be permitted to file any Registration Statement
on Form S-8.

3. Piggyback
Registration .

(a) Whenever
the Company proposes to register the offer and sale of any shares of its Common Stock under the Securities Act (other than a registration
(i) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (or other registration solely relating to an offering or sale to employees
or directors of the Company pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit arrangement), (ii) pursuant to a Registration
Statement on Form S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor
rule thereto), or (iii) in connection with any dividend or distribution reinvestment or similar plan), whether for its own account
or for the account of one or more stockholders of the Company, and the form of Registration Statement (a “ Piggyback
Registration Statement ”) to be used may be used for any registration of Registrable Securities (a “ Piggyback
Registration ”), the Company shall give prompt written notice (in any event no later than fifteen (15) days prior
to the filing of such Registration Statement) to the holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to effect such a registration
and, subject to Section 3(b) and Section 3(c), shall include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which
the Company has received written requests for inclusion from the holders of Registrable Securities within five (5) days after the
Company’s notice has been given to each such holder. A Piggyback Registration shall not be considered a Demand Registration
for purposes of Section 2. If any Piggyback Registration Statement pursuant to which holders of Registrable Securities have registered
the offer and sale of Registrable Securities is a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or the then appropriate form for an offering
to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto (a “ Piggyback
Shelf Registration Statement ”), such holder(s) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to be notified of and
to participate in any offering under such Piggyback Shelf Registration Statement (a “ Piggyback Shelf Takedown ”).

6

(b) If
a Piggyback Registration or Piggyback Shelf Takedown is initiated as a primary underwritten offering on behalf of the Company and
the managing underwriter advises the Company and the holders of Registrable Securities (if any holders of Registrable Securities
have elected to include Registrable Securities in such Piggyback Registration or Piggyback Shelf Takedown) in writing that in its
reasonable and good faith opinion the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such registration or takedown,
including all Registrable Securities and all other shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such underwritten offering,
exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock which can be sold in such offering and/or that the number of shares of Common Stock
proposed to be included in any such registration or takedown would adversely affect the price per share of the Common Stock to
be sold in such offering, the Company shall include in such registration or takedown (i) first, the shares of Common Stock that
the Company proposes to sell; (ii) second, the shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by holders of Registrable
Securities, allocated pro rata among all such holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder
or in such manner as they may otherwise agree; and (iii) third, the shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by
holders of Common Stock other than holders of Registrable Securities, allocated among such holders in such manner as they may agree; provided , that in any event the holders of Registrable Securities shall be entitled to register the offer and sale or distribute
at least thirty percent (30%) of the securities to be included in any such registration or takedown.

(c) If
a Piggyback Registration or Piggyback Shelf Takedown is initiated as an underwritten offering on behalf of a holder of Common Stock
other than Registrable Securities, and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that in its reasonable and good
faith opinion the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such registration or takedown, including all Registrable
Securities and all other shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such underwritten offering, exceeds the number of shares
of Common Stock which can be sold in such offering and/or that the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in
any such registration or takedown would adversely affect the price per share of the Common Stock to be sold in such offering, the
Company shall include in such registration or takedown (i) first, the shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by
the holder(s) requesting such registration or takedown and by the holders of Registrable Securities, allocated pro rata among all
such holders on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock other than the Registrable Securities (on a fully diluted, as
converted basis) and the number of Registrable Securities, as applicable, owned by all such holders or in such manner as they may
otherwise agree; and (ii) second, the shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by other holders of Common Stock,
allocated among such holders in such manner as they may agree.

7

(d) If
any Piggyback Registration or Piggyback Shelf Takedown is initiated as a primary underwritten offering on behalf of the Company,
the Company shall select the investment banking firm or firms to act as the managing underwriter or underwriters in connection
with such offering. Each holder of Registrable Securities proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwritten
offering shall (together with the Company) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters
selected for such underwriting.

4. Lock-up
Agreement . Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees that in connection with an Public Offering, and upon the request of
the managing underwriter in such offering, such holder shall not, without the prior written consent of such managing underwriter,
during the period commencing on the effective date of such registration and ending on the date specified by such managing underwriter
(such period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days), (a) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, grant any option or contract
to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, hedge the beneficial ownership of or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly,
any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into, exercisable for or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock held
immediately before the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for such offering, or (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement
that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities, whether any such
transaction described in clause (a) or (b) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash
or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this Section 4 shall not apply to sales of Registrable Securities to be included in such
offering pursuant to Section 2(a), Section 2(b), Section 2(c) or Section 3(a), and shall be applicable to the holders of Registrable
Securities only if all officers and directors of the Company and all stockholders owning more than five percent (5%) of the Company’s
outstanding Common Stock are subject to the same restrictions. Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees to execute and deliver
such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the managing underwriter which are consistent with the foregoing
or which are necessary to give further effect thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4, each
holder of Registrable Securities shall be released, pro rata, from any lock-up agreement entered into pursuant to this Section
4 in the event and to the extent that the managing underwriter or the Company permit any discretionary waiver or termination of
the restrictions of any lock-up agreement pertaining to any officer, director or holder of greater than five percent (5%) of the
outstanding Common Stock.

5. Registration
Procedures . If and whenever the holders of Registrable Securities request that the offer and sale of any Registrable Securities
be registered under the Securities Act or any Registrable Securities be distributed in a Shelf Takedown pursuant to the provisions
of this Agreement, the Company shall use its best efforts to effect the registration of the offer and sale of such Registrable

7. Indemnification .

(a) The
Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable Securities, such
holder’s officers, directors, managers, members, partners, stockholders and Affiliates, each underwriter, broker or any other
Person acting on behalf of such holder of Registrable Securities and each other Controlling Person, if any, who controls any of
the foregoing Persons, against all losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses, joint or several, to which any of
the foregoing Persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, actions, damages,
liabilities or expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus, free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities
Act or any successor rule thereto) or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus
or free writing prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; and shall reimburse such
Persons for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigating or defending any such
loss, claim, action, damage or liability, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in
writing to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein or by such holder’s failure to deliver a copy of the Registration
Statement, Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus, free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act or any
successor rule thereto) or any amendments or supplements thereto (if the same was required by applicable law to be so delivered)
after the Company has furnished such holder with a sufficient number of copies of the same prior to any written confirmation of
the sale of Registrable Securities. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have.

(b) In
connection with any registration in which a holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such holder shall furnish to
the Company in writing such information as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement
or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify and hold harmless, the Company, each director of the Company,
each officer of the Company who shall sign such Registration Statement, each underwriter, broker or other Person acting on behalf
of the holders of Registrable Securities and each Controlling Person who controls any of the foregoing Persons against any losses,
claims, actions, damages, liabilities or expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained
in the Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus, free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities
Act or any successor rule thereto) or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus
or free writing prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that
such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such holder; provided , that
the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, for each holder and shall not exceed an amount equal to the
net proceeds (after underwriting fees, commissions or discounts) actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable
Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the selling holder may
otherwise have.

13

(c) Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action involving a claim referred to in this Section
7, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the
latter of the commencement of such action. The failure of any indemnified party to notify an indemnifying party of any such action
shall not (unless such failure shall have a material adverse effect on the indemnifying party) relieve the indemnifying party from
any liability in respect of such action that it may have to such indemnified party hereunder. In case any such action is brought
against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense of the claims
in any such action that are subject or potentially subject to indemnification hereunder, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after written
notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying
party shall not be responsible for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with
the defense thereof; provided , that, if (i) any indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one
or more legal or equitable defenses available to such indemnified party which are additional to or conflict with those available
to the indemnifying party, or that such claim or litigation involves or could have an effect upon matters beyond the scope of the
indemnity provided hereunder, or (ii) such action seeks an injunction or equitable relief against any indemnified party or involves
actual or alleged criminal activity, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf
of such indemnified party without such indemnified party’s prior written consent (but, without such consent, shall have the
right to participate therein with counsel of its choice) and such indemnifying party shall reimburse such indemnified party and
any Controlling Person of such indemnified party for that portion of the fees and expenses of any counsel retained by the indemnified
party which is reasonably related to the matters covered by the indemnity provided hereunder. If the indemnifying party is not
entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim, it shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than
one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment
of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties
with respect to such claim. In such instance, the conflicting indemnified parties shall have a right to retain one separate counsel,
chosen by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in the registration, at the expense of the indemnifying
party.

(d) If
the indemnification provided for hereunder is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party
with respect to any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying
such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amounts paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying
party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided , that the
maximum amount of liability in respect of such contribution shall be limited, in the case of each holder of Registrable Securities,
to an amount equal to the net proceeds (after underwriting fees, commissions or discounts) actually received by such seller from
the sale of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to such registration. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of
the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of
a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying
party or by the indemnified party, whether the violation of the Securities Act or any other similar federal or state securities
laws or rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the
Company in connection with any applicable registration, qualification or compliance was perpetrated by the indemnifying party or
the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant hereto were determined
by pro rata allocation or by any other method or allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred
to herein. No Person guilty or liable of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act
shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

14

8. Participation
in Underwritten Registrations . No Person may participate in any registration hereunder which is underwritten unless such Person
(a) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Person
or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney,
indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided , that no holder of Registrable Securities included in any underwritten registration shall be required to make any
representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters (other than representations and warranties regarding such holder,
such holder’s ownership of its shares of Common Stock to be sold in the offering and such holder’s intended method
of distribution) or to undertake any indemnification obligations to the Company or the underwriters with respect thereto, except
as otherwise provided in Section 7.

9. Rule
144 Compliance . With a view to making available to the holders of Registrable Securities the benefits of Rule 144 and any other
rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit a holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without
registration, from and after the Registration Date, the Company shall:

(a) make
and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times after the Registration
Date;

(b) use
best efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act, at any time after the Registration Date; and

(c) furnish
to any holder so long as the holder owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, a written statement by the Company as to
its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent
annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed or furnished by the Company as such holder
may request in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities without registration.

15

10. Preservation
of Rights . Without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall
not (a) grant any registration rights, or (b) enter into any agreement, take any action, or permit any change to occur, with respect
to its securities that violates or subordinates the rights expressly granted to the holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement.

11. Alternative
Public Offering Entities . In the event that the Company elects to effect an underwritten registered offering of equity securities
of any subsidiary or parent of the Company (collectively, “ Alternative Public Offering Entities ”) rather
than the equity securities of the Company, whether as a result of a reorganization of the Company or otherwise, the Investors and
the Company shall cause the Alternative Public Offering Entity to enter into an agreement with the Investors that provides the
Investors with registration rights with respect to the equity securities of the Alternative Public Offering Entity that are substantially
the same as, and in any event no less favorable in the aggregate to, the registration rights provided to the Investors in this
Agreement.

12. Termination .
As to any particular Registrable Securities, such securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities when (i) a registration statement
registering such securities under the Securities Act has been declared effective and such securities have been sold or otherwise
transferred by the holder thereof pursuant to such effective registration statement, (ii) such securities shall have been distributed
pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, (iii) such securities shall have been otherwise transferred in a transaction in
which the transferor’s rights under this Agreement are not assigned to the transferee of such securities, (iv) such securities
are no longer outstanding or (v) such securities may be sold without restriction under the Securities Act. This Agreement shall
terminate and be of no further force or effect when there shall no longer be any Registrable Securities outstanding; provided ,
that the provisions of Section 6 and Section 7 shall survive any such termination.

13. Notices .
All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed
to have been given (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (b) when received by the addressee if sent
by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested); (c) on the date sent by facsimile or e-mail of a PDF document
(with confirmation of transmission) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next Business Day if sent

EXHIBIT C

Form of Indemnification Agreement

Indemnity
Agreement

This
Indemnity Agreement (this “ Agreement ”) is made and entered into as of this [___] day of [______], 2017
between Crossroads Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Corporation ”), and [______] (“ Indemnitee ”).

INTRODUCTION:

A. Indemnitee
is an executive officer, director and/or agent of the Corporation (or a subsidiary of the Corporation), as the case may be from
time to time, and performs a valuable service for the Corporation in such capacity (or capacities); and

B. The
Certificate of Incorporation (the “ Certificate ”) and the Bylaws (the “ Bylaw s”) of the Corporation
contain provisions providing for the indemnification of the officers, directors and agents of the Corporation to the maximum extent
authorized by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (“ DGCL ”); and

C. The
Certificate, the Bylaws and the DGCL, by their non-exclusive nature, permit contracts between the Corporation and the members of
its Board of Directors and officers with respect to indemnification of such directors and officers; and

D. In
accordance with the authorization as provided by the DGCL, the Corporation has purchased and presently maintains a policy or policies
of Directors and Officers Liability Insurance (“ D & O Insurance ”), covering certain liabilities which may
be incurred by its directors and officers in the performance of their duties as directors or officers of the Corporation; and

E. As
a result of developments affecting the terms, scope and availability of D & O Insurance there exists general uncertainty as
to the extent of protection afforded members of the Board of Directors and executive officers of the Corporation by such D &
O Insurance and by statutory and bylaw indemnification provisions; and

F. In
order to induce Indemnitee to continue to serve as an executive officer, director or agent of the Corporation, the Corporation
has determined and agreed to enter into this contract with Indemnitee.

AGREEMENT:

Now,
Therefore , in consideration of Indemnitee’s continued service as an executive officer and a member of the Board of
Directors after the date hereof, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Indemnification
of Indemnitee . The Corporation hereby agrees to hold harmless, indemnify and defend Indemnitee and any partnership, corporation,
trust or other entity of which Indemnitee is or was a partner, shareholder, trustee, director, officer, employee or agent (Indemnitee
and each such partnership, corporation, trust or other entity being hereinafter referred to collectively as an “ Indemnitee ”)
to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by the provisions of the DGCL in effect on the date hereof or as such laws may from
time to time hereafter be amended to increase the scope of such permitted indemnification.

2. Additional
Indemnity . Subject only to the exclusions set forth in Section 3 hereof, the Corporation hereby further agrees to
hold harmless and indemnify Indemnitee:

(a) against
any and all expenses (including attorneys’ and legal fees and expenses), damages, claims, witness fees, judgments, fines,
penalties, excise taxes and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by the Corporation, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee, as well as any federal state, local or foreign
taxes imposed on Indemnitee as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under this Agreement (collectively, “ Losses ”),
in connection with investigating, defending, being witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend,
be a witness in or participate in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, administrative dispute mechanism or other
proceeding (each, a “ Proceeding ”), whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including an action
by or in the right of the Corporation) to which Indemnitee is, was or at any time becomes a party, or is threatened to be made
a party, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is, was or at any time becomes a director, trustee, partner, officer, managing member,
employee, agent or fiduciary of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation, or is or was serving or at any time serves
at the request of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation as a director, trustee, partner, officer, managing member,
employee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise,
or by reason of any action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee while serving in such capacity 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;

(b) to
the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of service in any of the capacities described in the preceding paragraph, a witness or
its otherwise asked to participate in a Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, against any and all Losses actually and
reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection therewith; and

(c) otherwise
to the fullest extent as may be provided to Indemnitee by the Corporation under the non-exclusivity provisions of Article XI of
the Corporation’s Bylaws (as the same, including such article, may be amended, modified or restated from time to time) and
the DGCL.

3. Limitations
on Additional Indemnity . No indemnity pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall be paid by the Corporation:

2

(a) except
to the extent the aggregate of Losses to be indemnified thereunder exceeds the sum of such Losses for which the Indemnitee is indemnified
pursuant to Section 1 hereof or pursuant to any D & O Insurance purchased and maintained by the Corporation;

(b) in
respect to remuneration paid to Indemnitee if it shall be determined by a final judgment or other final adjudication that such
remuneration was in violation of law;

(c) on
account of any suit in which judgment is rendered against Indemnitee for (i) an accounting of profits made from the purchase or
sale by Indemnitee of securities of the Corporation pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”) and amendments thereto or similar provisions of any federal, state
or local statutory law, (ii) any reimbursement of the Corporation by Indemnitee of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based
compensation or out of any profits realized from the sale of securities, in each case as may be required by the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002, or pursuant to any compensation recovery policy of the Corporation that may be adopted in compliance with the Dodd-Frank
Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010;

(d) on
account of Indemnitee’s conduct which is finally adjudged to have been knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest, or
to constitute willful misconduct;

(e) on
account of Indemnitee’s conduct which is the subject of a Proceeding described in Section 8(c)(ii) hereof;

(f) on
account of any action, claim or proceeding (other than a proceeding referred to in Section 11(b) hereof) initiated by the Indemnitee
unless such action, claim or proceeding was authorized in the specific case by action of the Board of Directors; and

(g) if
a final decision by a Court having jurisdiction in the matter shall determine that such indemnification is not lawful (and, in
this respect, both the Corporation and Indemnitee have been advised that the Securities and Exchange Commission believes that indemnification
for liabilities arising under the federal securities laws is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable and that claims
for indemnification should be submitted to appropriate courts for adjudication).

3

4. Contribution .
If the indemnification provided in Sections 1 and 2 hereof is unavailable by reason of a Court decision described in Section 3(g)
hereof based on grounds other than any of those set forth in paragraphs (b) through (f) of Section 3 hereof, then in respect of
any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding in which the Corporation is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined
in such Proceeding), the Corporation shall contribute to the amount of Losses actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable
by Indemnitee in such proportion as is fair and reasonable to reflect (a) the relative benefits received by the Corporation on
the one hand and Indemnitee on the other hand from the transaction from which such Proceeding arose, and (b) the relative fault
of the Corporation on the one hand and of Indemnitee on the other in connection with the events which resulted in such Losses,
as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. In connection with any registration of the Corporation’s securities
under any securities laws (including, without limitation, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities
Act ”) or the Exchange Act), the relative benefits received by the Corporation and Indemnitee shall be deemed to be in
the same respective proportions that the net proceeds from the relevant registered offering(s) (before deducting expenses) received
by the Corporation and Indemnitee, in each case as set forth in the applicable prospectus, bear to the aggregate public offering
price of the securities so offered. The relative fault of the Corporation on the one hand and of Indemnitee on the other shall
be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission
or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Corporation or its directors, officers, employees
and agents, other than Indemnitee, or supplied by the Indemnitee and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information
and opportunity to correct or prevent the circumstances resulting in such Losses. The Corporation agrees that it would not be just
and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4 were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation
that does not take account of the foregoing equitable considerations. In connection with the registration of the Corporation’s
securities, in no event shall Indemnitee be required to contribute any amount under this Section 4 in excess of the net proceeds
received by Indemnitee from Indemnitee’s sale of securities under such registration statement. No person found guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 12 of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any
person who was not found guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

5. Proceedings
By or In Right of the Corporation . Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Sections 1 or 2 above, in the case of any
threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason
of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a a director, trustee, partner, officer, managing member, employee, agent or fiduciary of
the Corporation, or while serving as a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the
request of the Corporation as a a director, trustee, partner, officer, managing member, employee, agent or fiduciary of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, no indemnification shall be made in
respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless, and
only to the extent that, the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon
application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

6. Notification
and Defense of Claim .

(a) Promptly
after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding, Indemnitee shall, if a claim thereof is to be made
against the Corporation hereunder, notify the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation of the commencement thereof;
this notification shall include a summary description of the nature of the claim and the underlying facts to the extent reasonably
known to Indemnitee. The failure to promptly notify the Corporation of the commencement of the Proceeding, or Indemnitee’s
request for indemnification, will not relieve the Corporation from any liability that it may have to Indemnitee hereunder, except
to the extent the Corporation is materially prejudiced in its defense of such Proceeding as a result of such failure.

4

(b) In
the event the Corporation shall be obligated to pay the expenses of Indemnitee with respect to a Proceeding, as provided in this
Agreement, the Corporation, 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 of its election to do so. After delivery of such notice,
approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Corporation, the Corporation will not be liable
to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same Proceeding,
provided that (1) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ Indemnitee’s own counsel in such Proceeding at Indemnitee’s
expense and (2) if (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized in writing by the Corporation, (ii)
counsel to the Corporation or Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest or position,
or reasonably believes that a conflict is likely to arise, on any significant issue between the Corporation and Indemnitee in the
conduct of any such defense or (iii) the Corporation shall not, in fact, have employed counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding,
then the fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Corporation, except as otherwise expressly
provided by this Agreement. The Corporation shall not be entitled, without the consent of Indemnitee, to assume the defense of
any claim brought by or in the right of the Corporation or as to which counsel for the Corporation or Indemnitee shall have reasonably
made the conclusion provided for in clause (ii) above.

(c) Subject
to the preceding terms of Section 6(b) and other terms of this Agreement, the Corporation shall have the right to conduct a defense
as it sees fit in its sole discretion including the right to settle any claim against Indemnitee subject to the limitations set
forth herein. The Corporation will not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, consent to the entry of any judgment against
Indemnitee or enter into any settlement or compromise which (i) includes an admission of fault of Indemnitee, any non-monetary
remedy imposed on Indemnitee or any Losses for which Indemnitee is not wholly indemnified hereunder or (ii) with respect to any
claim with respect to which Indemnitee may be or is made a party or a participant or may be or is otherwise entitled to seek indemnification
hereunder, does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the full release of Indemnitee from all liability in respect of
such claim, which release will be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee. Neither the Corporation nor Indemnitee
will unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed settlement; provided, however, Indemnitee may withhold consent to any settlement
that does not provide a full and unconditional release of Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such claim. The Corporation
shall not, on its own behalf, settle any part of any claim to which Indemnitee is party with respect to other parties (including
the Corporation) if any portion of such settlement is to be funded from insurance proceeds unless approved by (i) the written consent
of Indemnitee or (ii) a majority of the independent directors of the board; provided, however, that the right to constrain the
Corporation’s use of corporate insurance as described in this section shall terminate at the time the Corporation concludes
(per the terms of this Agreement) that (x) Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification pursuant to this agreement, or (y) such
indemnification obligation to Indemnitee has been fully discharged by the Corporation. The Corporation shall promptly notify Indemnitee
once the Corporation has received an offer or intends to make an offer to settle any claim, and the Corporation shall provide Indemnitee
with a reasonable period to consider such offer; provided, however, Indemnitee shall have no less than three (3) business days
to consider the offer.

5

(d) The
Corporation shall have no obligation to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding
without the Corporation’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Corporation shall not settle
any Proceeding in any manner that would impose any fine or other obligation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s prior written
consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(e) If,
at the time of the receipt by the Corporation of a notice of a claim pursuant to this Section, the Corporation has liability insurance
in effect which may cover such claim, the Corporation shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such claim to the insurers
in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective insurance policies. The Corporation 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 claim in accordance
with the terms of such policies..

7. Presumptions
and Effects of Certain Proceedings .

(a) In
making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement, the person or persons or entity making
such determination shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law, presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification
under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with this Agreement and the Corporation
shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law, have the burden of proof and burden of persuasion by clear and convincing
evidence to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by any person, persons or entity of any determination contrary
to that presumption. Neither the failure of the Corporation to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any action
pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard
of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Corporation that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall
be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

(b) The
termination of any claim 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 Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation or, with respect to any criminal
claim, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

6

(c) For
purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action
is based on the records or books of account of the Corporation, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee
by any of the directors or officers of the Corporation in the course of their duties, or on the advice of any legal counsel for
the Corporation or on information or records given or reports made to the Corporation by any independent certified public accountant
or by any appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation. The provisions of this Section 4(c) shall
not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement. Whether or not the foregoing provisions of this Section 4(c) 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 Corporation. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden
of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence.

(d) The
knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any other director, officer, trustee, partner, managing member, fiduciary, agent
or employee of the Corporation shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under
this Agreement..

8. Advancement
and Repayment of Expenses .

(a) In
the event that Indemnitee employs his own counsel pursuant to Section 6(b)(i) through (iii) above, the Corporation shall advance
to Indemnitee, prior to any final disposition of any threatened or pending Proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative, any and all reasonable Losses incurred in investigating or defending any such Proceeding within ten days after
receiving a request for such advances, which request shall include copies of invoices presented to Indemnitee for such Losses (except
that in the case of invoices for legal services, any references to legal work performed or to expenditures made that would cause
Indemnitee to waive any privilege accorded by applicable law shall not be required to be included);

(b) In
connection with any payment, advancement or reimbursement pursuant to Section 8(a) above, Indemnitee shall execute and deliver
to the Corporation an undertaking (which need not be secured and shall be accepted without reference to Indemnitee’s ability
to repay such expenses) to repay (without interest) any amounts paid, advanced, or reimbursed by the Corporation in respect of
such expenses relating to, arising out of or resulting from any indemnifiable claim or Loss hereunder in respect of which it shall
have been determined, following the final disposition of such indemnifiable claim or Loss hereunder, that Indemnitee is not entitled
to indemnification; and

7

(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Corporation shall not be required to advance such expenses to Indemnitee if Indemnitee (i) commences any Proceeding
as a plaintiff unless such advance is specifically approved by a majority of the Board of Directors or (ii) is a party to an Proceeding
brought by the Corporation and approved by a majority of the Board which alleges willful misappropriation of corporate assets by
Indemnitee, disclosure of confidential information in violation of Indemnitee’s fiduciary or contractual obligations to the
Corporation, or any other willful and deliberate breach in bad faith of Indemnitee’s duty to the Corporation or its shareholders.

(d) This
Section 8 shall not apply to any claim for which indemnity is excluded pursuant to Section 3.

9. Procedure .
Any indemnification and advances provided for in Section 1 and Section 2 shall be made no later than 45 days after receipt
of the written request of Indemnitee, and expense advances provided under Section 8 shall be provided within the period set forth
in that Section. If the Corporation disputes any portion of the requested amounts, the undisputed portion shall be paid and only
the disputed portion shall be withheld pending the resolution of such dispute. If a claim under this Agreement, under any statute,
or under any provision of the Corporation’s Certificate or Bylaws providing for indemnification, is not paid in full by the
Corporation within 45 days after a written request for payment thereof has first been received by the Corporation, 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 14 of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid for the expenses (including attorneys’ and
legal fees and expenses) 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 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 the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation and Indemnitee shall be entitled to receive interim
payments of expenses pursuant to Subsection 2(a) unless and until such defense may be finally adjudicated by court order or judgment
from which no further right of appeal exists. 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.

8

10. Change
of Control; Insolvency .

(a) In
the event of a Change in Control or the Corporation’s becoming insolvent (including being placed into receivership or entering
the federal bankruptcy process or similar event), the Corporation shall maintain in force any and all insurance policies then maintained
by the Corporation in providing insurance (directors’ and officers’ liability, fiduciary, employment practices or otherwise)
in respect of Indemnitee, for a period of six (6) years following the Change in Control or insolvency event (a “ Tail Policy ”);
provided, however that the Corporation shall not be required to pay with respect to a Tail Policy in respect of any one policy
year more than 200% of the last annual premium paid by the Corporation prior to the date of a Change in Control or insolvency event
in respect of the coverages required to be obtained pursuant hereto, but in such case shall purchase as much coverage as reasonably
practicable for such amount. Such coverage shall be placed by the incumbent insurance broker with the incumbent insurance carriers
using the policies that were in place at the time of the Change in Control or insolvency event (unless the incumbent carriers will
not offer such policies, in which case the Tail Policy shall be substantially comparable in scope and amount as the expiring policies,
and the insurance carriers for the Tail Policy shall have an AM Best rating that is the same or better than the AM Best ratings
of the expiring policies)

(b) For
the purposes hereof, a “ Change in Control ” shall be deemed to have occurred if, on or after the date of this
Agreement, (i) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act), other than (A)
a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Corporation acting in such capacity or a
corporation owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Corporation in substantially the same proportions as their
ownership of stock of the Corporation or (B) 210/CRDS Investment, LLC, becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in
Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Corporation representing more than thirty percent
(30%) of the total voting power represented by the Corporation’s then outstanding voting securities; (ii) during any period
of two (2) consecutive years (not including any period prior to the execution of this Agreement), individuals who at the beginning
of such period constitute the Board of Directors of the Corporation and any new director (other than a director designated by a
person who has entered into an agreement with the Corporation to effect a transaction described in Sections 10(b)(i), (iii) or
(iv) herein) whose election by the Board of Directors or nomination for election by the Corporation’s stockholders was approved
by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the
period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof;
(iii) the stockholders of the Corporation approve a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with any other corporation other
than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior thereto
continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity)
at least eighty percent (80%) of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Corporation or such surviving
entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or (iv) the stockholders of the Corporation approve a plan of
complete liquidation of the Corporation or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Corporation of (in one transaction or
a series of related transactions) all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets.

9

11. Enforcement .

(a) The
Corporation expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on the Corporation
hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to continue as an executive officer, director or agent of the Corporation, and acknowledges
that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in continuing in such capacity; and

(b) In
the event Indemnitee is required to bring any action to enforce rights or to collect moneys due under this Agreement and is successful
in such action, the Corporation shall reimburse Indemnitee for all Indemnitee’s reasonable fees and expenses (including attorneys’
and legal fees and expenses) in bringing and pursuing such action.

12. Subrogation .
In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the related
rights of recovery of Indemnitee against other persons or entities (other than Indemnitee’s successors), Indemnitee shall
execute all documents reasonably required and shall do all acts that may be reasonably necessary to secure such rights and to enable
the Corporation effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

13. Non-Exclusivity
of Rights . The rights conferred on Indemnitee by this Agreement shall not be exclusive of any other right which Indemnitee
may have or hereafter acquire under any provision of law, provisions of the Corporation’s Certificate or Bylaws, agreement,
vote of stockholders or directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity with or on behalf of the Corporation
and as to action in another capacity while holding office in or on behalf of the Corporation.

14. Partial
Indemnification . If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Corporation
for some or a portion of the Losses actually or reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in the investigation, defense, appeal or settlement
of any civil or criminal Proceeding, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify
Indemnitee for the portion of such indemnifiable claim or expense hereunder.

15. Survival
of Rights . The rights conferred on Indemnitee by this Agreement shall continue after Indemnitee has ceased to be a a director,
trustee, partner, officer, managing member, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee’s
heirs, executors and administrators. All agreements and obligations of the Corporation contained herein shall continue during the
period that the Indemnitee is a director or officer of the Corporation (or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation
as an agent of another Person) and shall continue thereafter so long as the Indemnitee shall be subject to any possible indemnifiable
claim or expense hereunder (including any rights of appeal thereto) and any Proceeding commenced by the Indemnitee to enforce or
interpret his or her rights under this Agreement.

16. Separability .
Each of the provisions of this Agreement is a separate and distinct agreement and independent of the others, so that if any or
all of the provisions hereof shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall
not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof or the obligation of the Corporation to indemnify the
Indemnitee to the full extent provided by the Certificate, Bylaws or the DGCL.

10

17. Governing
Law; Consent to Jurisdiction . This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State
of Delaware. The Corporation and Indemnitee each hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware
for all purposes in connection with any Proceeding which arises out of or relates to this Agreement and agree that any action instituted
under this Agreement shall be brought only in the state courts of the State of Delaware.

18. Binding
Effect . This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their
respective successors, assigns, including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all
or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Corporation, spouses, heirs, and personal and legal representatives.
The Corporation shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise)
to all, substantially all, or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the Corporation, by written agreement in form
and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the
same extent that the Corporation would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. This Agreement shall continue
in effect regardless of whether Indemnitee continues to serve as a director, trustee, partner, officer, managing member, employee,
agent or fiduciary or fiduciary (as applicable) of the Corporation or of any other enterprise at the Corporation’s request.

19. Amendment
and Termination . No amendment, modification, termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless such
amendment, modification, termination or cancellation is in writing and signed by both parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions
of this Agreement shall be deemed to be or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar), nor
shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

20. Counterparts .
This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original.

21. Subsequent
Legislation . If the DGCL is amended after adoption of this Agreement to expand further the indemnification permitted to
directors or officers, then the Corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.
