INTRODUCTORY NOTE

Domestication and Merger Transactions

As previously announced, Reinvent Technology Partners Z (“RTPZ” and, after the Domestication as described below, “Hippo Holdings”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, previously entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 3, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among RTPZ, RTPZ Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of RTPZ (“Merger Sub”), and Hippo Enterprises Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Hippo”).

On July 30, 2021, as contemplated by the Merger Agreement and described in the section titled “Domestication Proposal” beginning on page 137 of the final prospectus and definitive proxy statement, dated July 9, 2021 (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), RTPZ filed a notice of deregistration with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and filed a certificate of incorporation and a certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which RTPZ was domesticated and continues as a Delaware corporation, changing its name to “Hippo Holdings Inc.” (the “Domestication”).

As a result of and upon the effective time of the Domestication, among other things, (1) each of the then issued and outstanding RTPZ Class A ordinary shares converted automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Hippo Holdings common stock, (2) each of the then issued and outstanding RTPZ Class B ordinary shares converted automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Hippo Holdings common stock, (3) each then issued and outstanding RTPZ warrant converted automatically into a Hippo Holdings warrant and (4) each issued and outstanding RTPZ unit separated automatically into one share of Hippo Holdings common stock and one-fifth of one Hippo Holdings warrant.

As previously reported on the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 30, 2021, RTPZ held an extraordinary general meeting, at which RTPZ’s shareholders voted to approve the proposals outlined in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, including, among other things, the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the Domestication. On August 2, 2021, as contemplated by the Merger Agreement and described in the section titled “BCA Proposal” beginning on page 97 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, RTPZ and Hippo consummated the merger transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, whereby (i) Merger Sub merged with and into Hippo, with Hippo surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Hippo Holdings (the “First Merger”), and (ii) immediately following the First Merger, Hippo (as the surviving corporation of the First Merger) merged with and into Hippo Holdings, the separate corporate existence of Hippo ceased, and Hippo Holdings was the surviving corporation (together with the First Merger, the “Mergers,” and, the Mergers together with the Domestication, the “Business Combination”).

Immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger (the “Effective Time”), (i) each share of Hippo preferred stock converted into shares of Hippo common stock at the then-effective conversion rate as calculated pursuant to the terms of Hippo’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, (ii) the Hippo warrants were exercised in full on a cash or cashless basis or terminated without exercise, as applicable, in accordance with their respective terms, and (iii) the Hippo notes were automatically converted into shares of Hippo common stock in accordance with their respective terms. Subsequently, at the Effective Time, among other things, all Hippo options outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time were converted into options to purchase shares of Hippo Holdings common stock (the “Hippo Holdings Options”), and all shares of Hippo common stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, together with shares of Hippo common stock reserved in respect of Hippo options outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time that were converted into the Hippo Holdings Options, were cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, or the reservation of, an aggregate of 552,200,000 shares of Hippo Holdings common stock (at a deemed value of $10.00 per share) representing a pre-transaction equity value of Hippo of $5.522 billion (such total number of shares of Hippo Holdings common stock, the “Aggregate Merger Consideration”). The portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration reflecting the conversion of the Hippo options into Hippo Holdings Options was calculated assuming that all Hippo Holdings Options were net-settled (although Hippo Holdings Options may by their terms be cash-settled, resulting in additional dilution and, therefore, a reduced Exchange Ratio). The Exchange Ratio was approximately 6.95433.

The foregoing description of the Business Combination does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

PIPE Investment

As previously announced, on March 3, 2021, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, RTPZ entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain institutional and accredited investors (collectively, the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors agreed to purchase, in the aggregate, 55,000,000 shares of Hippo Holdings common stock at $10.00 per share for an aggregate commitment amount of $550,000,000 (the “PIPE Investment”), a portion of which was funded by Reinvent Capital Fund LP (“Reinvent Capital Fund”), a fund co-founded by Reid Hoffman, Mark Pincus and Michael Thompson. The PIPE Investment was consummated substantially concurrently with the Closing. PIPE Investors other than Reinvent Capital Fund (the “Third-Party PIPE Investors”) purchased 54,000,000 shares of Hippo Holdings common stock, at $10.00 per share, for approximately $540,000,000 of gross proceeds. Reinvent Capital Fund purchased 1,000,000 shares of Hippo Holdings common stock, at $10.00 per share, for approximately $10,000,000 of gross proceeds. Following the Business Combination, Hippo Holdings used $95,000,000 to acquire 9,500,000 shares of Hippo Holdings common stock from certain stockholders of Hippo prior to the Business Combination (the “Hippo Redemption”).


Following the Business Combination and after giving effect to the redemption of 19,261,380 shares of RTPZ’s Class A common stock in connection with the Business Combination (the “RTPZ Redemption”), the consummation of the PIPE Investment and the Hippo Redemption, (1) the stockholders of Hippo prior to the Business Combination own 89.5% of outstanding Hippo Holdings common stock, assuming the issuance of approximately 52.7 million shares of Hippo Holdings common stock underlying rollover options that do not represent legally outstanding shares of Hippo common stock at Closing, (2) the Third-Party PIPE Investors own 9.0% of outstanding Hippo Holdings common stock, (3) existing public shareholders of RTPZ (Class A ordinary shares) own 0.6% of outstanding Hippo Holdings common stock and (4) the Sponsor and the independent directors of RTPZ prior to the election of the current board of directors of Hippo Holdings, as former holders of the RTPZ Class B ordinary shares, collectively own 0.9% of outstanding Hippo Holdings common stock. After giving effect to the Business Combination, the RTPZ Redemption, the Hippo Redemption and the consummation of the PIPE Investment, there were 559,731,226 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

Hippo Holdings’ common stock and warrants commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols “HIPO” and “HIPO.WS,” respectively, on August 3, 2021, subject to ongoing review of Hippo Holdings’ satisfaction of all listing criteria following the Business Combination.

Terms used in this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”) but not defined herein, or for which definitions are not otherwise incorporated by reference herein, shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and such definitions are incorporated herein by reference.

Unless the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Hippo Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (prior to the Business Combination, Reinvent Technology Partners Z, a Cayman Islands exempted company), following the completion of the Business Combination.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

The disclosure set forth in the “Introductory Note—Domestication and Merger Transactions” above is incorporated into this Item 2.01 by reference.

FORM 10 INFORMATION

Item 2.01(f) of Form 8-K states that if the predecessor registrant was a “shell company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as RTPZ was immediately before the Business Combination, then the registrant must disclose the information that would be required if the registrant were filing a general form for registration of securities on Form 10. As a result of the consummation of the Business Combination, and as discussed below in Item 5.06 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, Hippo Holdings has ceased to be a shell company. Accordingly, Hippo Holdings is providing the information below that would be included in a Form 10 if Hippo Holdings were to file a Form 10. Please note that the information provided below relates to Hippo Holdings as the combined company after the consummation of the Business Combination, unless otherwise specifically indicated or the context otherwise requires.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Hippo Holdings has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers. Under the terms of such indemnification agreements, Hippo Holdings is required to indemnify Hippo Holdings’ officers and directors to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable law. Hippo Holdings is required to indemnify each of Hippo Holdings’ directors and officers if the basis of the indemnitee’s involvement was by reason of the fact that the indemnitee is or was a director or officer of Hippo Holdings or was serving at Hippo Holdings’ request as a director, officer, employee or agent for another entity. Hippo Holdings must indemnify Hippo Holdings’ officers and directors against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding 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 Hippo Holdings, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. Hippo Holdings’ bylaws also require Hippo Holdings to advance expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a director or officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding, provided that such person will repay any such advance if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification by Hippo Holdings. The foregoing description of the indemnification agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the indemnification agreements, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Further information about the indemnification of Hippo Holdings’ directors and officers is set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the section titled “Description of Hippo Holdings Securities—Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors” beginning on page 311 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Executive Officers and Directors

Upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and documents related thereto, and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, each executive officer of RTPZ ceased serving in such capacities, and Reid Hoffman, Mark Pincus, Michael Thompson, Lee Linden, Linda Rottenberg, Julie Hanna and Byron Auguste ceased serving on RTPZ’s board of directors.

Prior to the Domestication, Assaf Wand, Richard McCathron, Amy Errett, Eric Feder, Lori Dickerson Fouché, Hugh R. Frater, Noah Knauf, Sam Landman and Sandra Wijnberg were appointed as directors of RTPZ (and consequently as directors of Hippo Holdings after the Domestication) by the holders of Class B ordinary shares of RTPZ, to serve until the end of their respective terms and until their successors are elected and qualified. Sandra Wijnberg, Hugh Frater and Noah Knauf were appointed to serve on Hippo Holdings’ audit, risk and compliance committee with Sandra Wijnberg serving as the chair and qualifying as an audit committee financial expert, as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K. Noah Knauf and Sam Landman were appointed to serve on Hippo Holdings’ compensation committee with Noah Knauf serving as the chair. Lori Dickerson Fouché, Amy Errett and Sam Landman were appointed to serve on the nominating and corporate governance committee.

Assaf Wand was appointed as Hippo Holdings’ Chief Executive Officer, Richard McCathron was appointed as Hippo Holdings’ President, Stewart Ellis was appointed as Hippo Holdings’ Chief Financial Officer, Ran Harpaz was appointed as Hippo Holdings’ Chief Technology Officer, Simon Fleming-Wood was appointed as Hippo Holdings’ Chief Marketing Officer and Aviad Pinkovezky was appointed as Hippo Holdings’ Chief Product Officer.

Compensatory Arrangements for Directors

Hippo has not historically maintained a formal non-employee director compensation program but has made stock and option grants to non-employee directors when determined appropriate. In fiscal year 2020, no director received cash for their services on the Hippo board. However, in September 2020, Hippo granted Ms. Wijnberg an option to purchase 35,000 shares of Hippo common stock. Ms. Wijnberg’s option vests as to 1/12th of the shares on each quarterly anniversary of September 28, 2020, subject to her continued service through the applicable vesting date.

Messrs. Wand and McCathron did not receive additional compensation for their service as directors. In connection with the Closing, Hippo Holdings adopted a Non-Employee Director Compensation Program.

For the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation it is further provided that:

A. The directors of the Corporation shall be classified with respect to the time for which they severally hold office into three classes, designated as Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly as may be possible, of one third of the total number of directors constituting the whole Board. The initial Class I directors shall serve for a term expiring at the first annual meeting of the stockholders following the filing and effectiveness of this Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Effective Time”); the initial Class II directors shall serve for a term expiring at the second annual meeting of the stockholders following the Effective Time; and the initial Class III directors shall serve for a term expiring at the third annual meeting following the Effective Time. At each annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation beginning with the first annual meeting of stockholders following the Effective Time, the successors of the class of directors whose term expires at that meeting shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders held in the third year following the year of their election. Each director shall hold office until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal in accordance with this Certificate of Incorporation. No decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

 

B-2


B. Except as otherwise expressly provided by the DGCL or this Certificate of Incorporation, the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. The number of directors that shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be fixed exclusively by one or more resolutions adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors in accordance with the Bylaws.

C. Subject to the special rights of the holders of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, the Board of Directors or any individual director may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of voting stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at an election of directors.

D. Subject to the special rights of the holders of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, except as otherwise provided by law, any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, retirement, removal or other causes and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors shall be filled exclusively by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director (other than any directors elected by the separate vote of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock), and shall not be filled by the stockholders. Any director appointed in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office until the expiration of the term of the class to which such director shall have been appointed or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, or removal.

E. Whenever the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation shall have the right, voting separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more such other series, to elect directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, removal and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VII, the number of directors that may be elected by the holders of any such series of Preferred Stock shall be in addition to the number fixed pursuant to paragraph B of this Article VII, and the total number of directors constituting the whole Board of Directors shall be automatically adjusted accordingly. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Designation(s) in respect of one or more series of Preferred Stock, whenever the holders of any series of Preferred Stock having such right to elect additional directors are divested of such right pursuant to the provisions of such Certificate of Designation(s), the terms of office of all such additional directors elected by the holders of such series of Preferred Stock, or elected to fill any vacancies resulting from the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of such additional directors, shall forthwith terminate (in which case each such director thereupon shall cease to be qualified as, and shall cease to be, a director) and the total authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall automatically be reduced accordingly.

F. In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws, subject to the power of the stockholders of the Corporation entitled to vote with respect thereto to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws. The stockholders of the Corporation shall also have the power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws; provided, that in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation required by applicable law or by this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation in respect of one or more series of Preferred Stock) or the Bylaws of the Corporation, the adoption, amendment or repeal of the Bylaws of the Corporation by the stockholders of the Corporation shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of voting stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in an election of directors.

G. The directors of the Corporation need not be elected by written ballot unless the Bylaws so provide.

ARTICLE VIII

A. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, and shall not be taken by written consent in lieu of a meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any action required or permitted to be taken by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more other such series, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, to the extent expressly so provided by the applicable Certificate of Designation relating to such series of Preferred Stock, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding shares of the relevant series of Preferred Stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL.

 

B-3


B. Subject to the special rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock, and to the requirements of applicable law, special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called for any purpose or purposes, at any time only by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer or President, in each case, in accordance with the Bylaws, and shall not be called by any other person or persons. Any such special meeting so called may be postponed, rescheduled or cancelled by the Board of Directors or other person calling the meeting.

C. Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of directors and of other business proposed to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be given in the manner provided in the Bylaws. Any business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to matters relating to the purpose or purposes identified in the notice of meeting.

ARTICLE IX

No director of the Corporation shall have any personal liability to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as the same exists or hereafter may be amended. Any amendment, repeal or modification of this Article IX, or the adoption of any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article IX, shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such amendment, repeal, modification or adoption. If the DGCL is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article IX to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as so amended.

ARTICLE X

A. The Corporation hereby expressly elects not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL, and instead the provisions of Article X(B)-(D) below shall apply, for so long as the Corporation’s Common Stock is registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

B. The Corporation shall not engage in any business combination with any interested stockholder (as defined below) for a period of three years following the time that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

(1) prior to such time, the Board approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

(2) upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock (as defined below) of the Corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned by (i) persons who are directors and also officers and (ii) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

(3) at or subsequent to such time, the business combination is approved by the Board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

C. The restrictions contained in the foregoing Article X(B) shall not apply if:

(1) a stockholder becomes an interested stockholder inadvertently and (i) as soon as practicable divests itself of ownership of sufficient shares so that the stockholder ceases to be an interested stockholder and (ii) would not, at any time, within the three-year period immediately prior to the business combination between the Corporation and such stockholder, have been an interested stockholder but for the inadvertent acquisition of ownership; or

(2) the business combination is proposed prior to the consummation or abandonment of and subsequent to the earlier of the public announcement or the notice required hereunder of a proposed transaction which (i) constitutes one of the transactions described in the second sentence of this Article X(C)(2), (ii) is with or by a person who either was not an interested stockholder during the previous three years or who became an interested stockholder with the approval of the Board and (iii) is approved or not opposed by a majority of the directors then in office (but not less than one) who were directors prior to any person becoming an interested stockholder during the previous three years or were recommended for election or elected to succeed such directors by a majority of such directors. The proposed transactions referred to in the preceding sentence are limited to (x) a merger or consolidation of the

 

B-4


Corporation (except for a merger in respect of which, pursuant to Section 251(f) of the DGCL, no vote of the stockholders of the Corporation is required), (y) a sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, whether as part of a dissolution or otherwise, of assets of the Corporation or of any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation (other than to any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary or to the Corporation) having an aggregate market value equal to fifty percent or more of either that aggregate market value of all the assets of the Corporation determined on a consolidated basis or the aggregate market value of all the outstanding stock of the Corporation or (z) a proposed tender or exchange offer for 50% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation. The Corporation shall give not less than 20 days’ notice to all interested stockholders prior to the consummation of any of the transactions described in clause (x) or (y) of the second sentence of this Article X(C)(2).

D. For purposes of this Article X, references to:

(1) “affiliate” means a person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, another person.

(2) “associate,” when used to indicate a relationship with any person, means: (i) any corporation, partnership, unincorporated association or other entity of which such person is a director, officer or partner or is, directly or indirectly, the owner of 20% or more of the voting power thereof; (ii) any trust or other estate in which such person has at least a 20% beneficial interest or as to which such person serves as trustee or in a similar fiduciary capacity; and (iii) any relative or spouse of such person, or any relative of such spouse, who has the same residence as such person.

(3) “business combination,” when used in reference to the Corporation and any interested stockholder of the Corporation, means:

a. any merger or consolidation of the Corporation or any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation (a) with the interested stockholder, or (b) with any other corporation, partnership, unincorporated association or other entity if the merger or consolidation is caused by the interested stockholder and as a result of such merger or consolidation subsection (B) of this Article X is not applicable to the surviving entity;

b. any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition (in one transaction or a series of transactions), except proportionately as a stockholder of the Corporation, to or with the interested stockholder, whether as part of a dissolution or otherwise, of assets of the Corporation or of any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation which assets have an aggregate market value equal to 10% or more of either the aggregate market value of all the assets of the Corporation determined on a consolidated basis or the aggregate market value of all the outstanding stock of the Corporation;

c. any transaction which results in the issuance or transfer by the Corporation or by any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation of any stock of the Corporation or of such subsidiary to the interested stockholder, except: (i) pursuant to the exercise, exchange or conversion of securities exercisable for, exchangeable for or convertible into stock of the Corporation or any such subsidiary which securities were outstanding prior to the time that the interested stockholder became such; (ii) pursuant to a merger under Section 251(g) of the DGCL; (iii) pursuant to a dividend or distribution paid or made, or the exercise, exchange or conversion of securities exercisable for, exchangeable for or convertible into stock of the Corporation or any such subsidiary which security is distributed, pro rata to all holders of a class or series of stock of the Corporation subsequent to the time the interested stockholder became such; (iv) pursuant to an exchange offer by the Corporation to purchase stock made on the same terms to all holders of said stock; or (v) any issuance or transfer of stock by the Corporation; provided, however, that in no case under items (iii) through (v) of this subsection shall there be an increase in the interested stockholder’s proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the Corporation or of the voting stock of the Corporation (except as a result of immaterial changes due to fractional share adjustments);

d. any transaction involving the Corporation or any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation which has the effect, directly or indirectly, of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series, or securities convertible into the stock of any class or series, of the Corporation or of any such subsidiary which is owned by the interested stockholder, except as a result of immaterial changes due to fractional share adjustments or as a result of any purchase or redemption of any shares of stock not caused, directly or indirectly, by the interested stockholder; or

e. any receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit, directly or indirectly (except proportionately as a stockholder of the Corporation), of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges, or other financial benefits (other than those expressly permitted in subsections (a) through (d) above) provided by or through the Corporation or any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary.

A person who is the owner of 20% or more of the outstanding voting stock of a corporation, partnership, unincorporated association or other entity shall be presumed to have control of such entity, in the absence of proof by a preponderance of the evidence to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a presumption of control shall not apply where such person holds voting stock, in good faith and not for the purpose of circumventing this subsection (D) of Article X, as an agent, bank, broker, nominee, custodian or trustee for one or more owners who do not individually or as a group have control of such entity.

(5) “interested stockholder” means any person (other than the Corporation or any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation) that (i) is the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation, or (ii) is an affiliate or associate of the Corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation at any time within the three year period immediately prior to the date on which it is sought to be determined whether such person is an interested stockholder; and the affiliates and associates of such person; but “interested stockholder” shall not include (a) any Stockholder Party, any Stockholder Party Direct Transferee, any Stockholder Party Indirect Transferee or any of their respective affiliates or successors or any “group,” or any member of any such group, to which such persons are a party under Rule 13d-5 of the Exchange Act, or (b) any person whose ownership of shares in excess of the 15% limitation set forth herein is the result of any action taken solely by the Corporation; provided, further, that in the case of clause (b) such person shall be an interested stockholder if thereafter such person acquires additional shares of voting stock of the Corporation, except as a result of further corporate action not caused, directly or indirectly, by such person. For the purpose of determining whether a person is an interested stockholder, the voting stock of the Corporation deemed to be outstanding shall include stock deemed to be owned by the person through application of the definition of “owner” below.

(6) “owner,” including the terms “own” and “owned,” when used with respect to any stock, means a person that individually or with or through any of its affiliates or associates:

a. beneficially owns such stock, directly or indirectly;

b. has (i) the right to acquire such stock (whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time) pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, or upon the exercise of conversion rights, exchange rights, warrants or options, or otherwise; provided, however, that a person shall not be deemed the owner of stock tendered pursuant to a tender or exchange offer made by such person or any of such person’s affiliates or associates until such tendered stock is accepted for purchase or exchange; or (ii) the right to vote such stock pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding; provided, however, that a person shall not be deemed the owner of any stock because of such person’s right to vote such stock if the agreement, arrangement or understanding to vote such stock arises solely from a revocable proxy or consent given in response to a proxy or consent solicitation made to 10 or more persons; or

c. has any agreement, arrangement or understanding for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting (except voting pursuant to a revocable proxy or consent as described in item (ii) of subsection (b) above), or disposing of such stock with any other person that beneficially owns, or whose affiliates or associates beneficially own, directly or indirectly, such stock.

(7) “person” means any individual, corporation, partnership, unincorporated association or other entity.

(8) “stock” means, with respect to any corporation, capital stock and, with respect to any other entity, any equity interest.

(9) “Stockholder Party” means any stockholder of the Corporation.

(10) “Stockholder Party Direct Transferee” means any person that acquires (other than in a registered public offering) directly from any Stockholder Party or any of its successors or any “group,” or any member of any such group, of which such persons are a party under Rule 13d-5 of the Exchange Act beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the then outstanding voting stock of the Corporation.

(11) “Stockholder Party Indirect Transferee” means any person that acquires (other than in a registered public offering) directly from any Stockholder Party Direct Transferee or any other Stockholder Party Indirect Transferee beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the then outstanding voting stock of the Corporation.

(12) “voting stock” means stock of any class or series entitled to vote generally in the election of directors and, with respect to any entity that is not a corporation, any equity interest entitled to vote generally in the election of the governing body of such entity. Every reference to a percentage of voting stock shall be calculated on the basis of the aggregate number of votes applicable to all shares of such voting stock, and by allocating to each share of voting stock, that number of votes to which such share is entitled.

 

B-6


ARTICLE XI

The Corporation shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable law, as now or hereafter in effect, and such right to indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives; provided, however, that, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any director or officer (or his or her heirs, executors or personal or legal representatives) in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board. The right to indemnification conferred by this Article XI shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon receipt by the Corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer receiving advancement to repay the amount advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation under this Article XI. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Corporation similar to those conferred in this Article XI to directors and officers of the Corporation. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Article XI shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under this Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, any statute, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Any repeal or modification of this Article XI by the stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses of a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation (collectively, the “Covered Persons”) existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to any acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

The Corporation hereby acknowledges that certain Covered Persons may have rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses (directly or through insurance obtained by any such entity) provided by one or more third parties (collectively, the “Other Indemnitors”), and which may include third parties for whom such Covered Person serves as a manager, member, officer, employee or agent. The Corporation hereby agrees and acknowledges that notwithstanding any such rights that a Covered Person may have with respect to any Other Indemnitor(s), (i) the Corporation is the indemnitor of first resort with respect to all Covered Persons and all obligations to indemnify and provide advancement of expenses to Covered Persons, (ii) the Corporation shall be required to indemnify and advance the full amount of expenses incurred by the Covered Persons, to the fullest extent required by law, the terms of this Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, any agreement to which the Corporation is a party, any vote of the stockholders or the Board, or otherwise, without regard to any rights the Covered Persons may have against the Other Indemnitors and (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Other Indemnitors from any and all claims for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Corporation further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Other Indemnitors with respect to any claim for which the Covered Persons have sought indemnification from the Corporation shall affect the foregoing and the Other Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of any such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Covered Persons against the Corporation. These rights shall be a contract right, and the Other Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of the terms of this paragraph. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the obligations of the Corporation under this paragraph shall only apply to Covered Persons in their capacity as Covered Persons.

ARTICLE XII

A. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction thereof, the federal district court of the State of Delaware) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim for or based on a breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer, other employee, agent or stockholder of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, including without limitation a claim alleging the aiding and abetting of such a breach of fiduciary duty, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any current or former director, officer, employee, agent or stockholder of the Corporation arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or (iv) any action asserting a claim related to or involving the Corporation that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of the immediately preceding sentence is filed in a court other than the courts in the State of Delaware (a “Foreign Action”) in the name of any stockholder, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (a) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence and (b) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such stockholder.

 

B-7


B. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Article XII shall not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts of the United States have exclusive jurisdiction.

D. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in any shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article XII.

E. Failure to enforce the foregoing provisions would cause the Corporation irreparable harm, and the Corporation shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, to enforce the foregoing provisions.

ARTICLE XIII

A. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary, in addition to any vote required by applicable law, the following provisions in this Certificate of Incorporation may be amended, altered, repealed or rescinded, in whole or in part, or any provision inconsistent therewith or herewith may be adopted, only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class: Article V(B), Article VII, Article VIII, Article IX, Article X, Article XI, Article XII and this Article XIII.

B. If any provision or provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any circumstance for any reason whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this Certificate of Incorporation containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in any way be affected or impaired thereby and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation (including, without limitation, each such portion of any paragraph of this Certificate of Incorporation containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to permit the Corporation to protect its directors, officers, employees and agents from personal liability in respect of their good faith service to or for the benefit of the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by law.

I, THE UNDERSIGNED, being the Sole Incorporator hereinbefore named, for the purpose of forming a corporation pursuant to the DGCL, do make this Certificate, hereby declaring and certifying that this is my act and deed and the facts herein stated are true, and accordingly have hereunto set my hand this                  day of August, 2021.

Article I - Corporate Offices

1.1 Registered Office.

The address of the registered office of Hippo Holdings Inc. (the “Corporation”) in the State of Delaware, and the name of its registered agent at such address, shall be as set forth in the Corporation’s certificate of incorporation, as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time (the “Certificate of Incorporation”).

1.2 Other Offices.

The Corporation may have additional offices at any place or places, within or outside the State of Delaware, as the Corporation’s board of directors (the “Board”) may from time to time establish or as the business of the Corporation may require.

Article II - Meetings of Stockholders

2.1 Place of Meetings.

Meetings of stockholders shall be held at any place within or outside the State of Delaware, designated by the Board. The Board may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting of stockholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as authorized by Section 211(a)(2) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). In the absence of any such designation or determination, stockholders’ meetings shall be held at the Corporation’s principal executive office.

2.2 Annual Meeting.

The Board shall designate the date and time of the annual meeting. At the annual meeting, directors shall be elected and other proper business properly brought before the meeting in accordance with Section 2.4 of these Bylaws may be transacted. The Board may postpone, reschedule or cancel any previously scheduled annual meeting of stockholders.

2.3 Special Meeting.

Special meetings of the stockholders may be called, postponed, rescheduled or cancelled only by such persons and only in such manner as set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation.

No business may be transacted at any special meeting of stockholders other than the business specified in the notice of such meeting.

2.4 Notice of Business to be Brought before a Meeting.

(i) At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be (i) specified in a notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (ii) if not specified in a notice of meeting, otherwise brought before the meeting by the Board of Directors or the Chairperson of the Board or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder present in person who (A) (1) was a record owner of shares of the Corporation both at the time of giving the notice provided for in this Section 2.4 and at the time of the meeting, (2) is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (3) has complied with this Section 2.4 in all applicable respects or (B) properly made such proposal in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of

 

C-4


1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (as so amended and inclusive of such rules and regulations, the “Exchange Act”). The foregoing clause (iii) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to propose business to be brought before an annual meeting of the stockholders. For purposes of this Section 2.4, “present in person” shall mean that the stockholder proposing that the business be brought before the annual meeting of the Corporation, or a qualified representative of such proposing stockholder, appear at such annual meeting. A “qualified representative” of such proposing stockholder shall be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or any other person authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders. Stockholders seeking to nominate persons for election to the Board of Directors must comply with Section 2.5 and Section 2.6, and this Section 2.4 shall not be applicable to nominations except as expressly provided in Section 2.5 and Section 2.6.

(ii) Without qualification, for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must (i) provide Timely Notice (as defined below) thereof in writing and in proper form to the Secretary of the Corporation and (ii) provide any updates or supplements to such notice at the times and in the forms required by this Section 2.4. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the one-year anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting (in the case of the first annual meeting of stockholders following the Effective Time (as defined in the Corporation’s Certification of Incorporation), the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting shall be deemed to be July 29, 2021); provided, however, that if the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, to be timely, notice by the stockholder must be so delivered, or mailed and received, not later than the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or, if later, the 10th day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was first made by the Corporation (such notice within such time periods, “Timely Notice”). In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of Timely Notice as described above.

(iii) To be in proper form for purposes of this Section 2.4, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth:

(c) As to each item of business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting, (1) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting and any material interest in such business of each Proposing Person, (2) the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend the Bylaws of the Corporation, the language of the proposed amendment), and (3) a reasonably detailed description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings (x) between or among any of the Proposing Persons or (y) between or among any Proposing Person and any other record or beneficial holder(s) or persons(s) who have a right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time in the future of the shares of any class or series of the Corporation or any other person or entity (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder; and (4) any other information relating to such item of business that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies in support of the business proposed to be brought before the meeting pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act; provided, however, that the disclosures required by this paragraph (iii) shall not include any disclosures with respect to any broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee who is a Proposing Person solely as a result of being the stockholder directed to prepare and submit the notice required by these Bylaws on behalf of a beneficial owner.

For purposes of this Section 2.4, the term “Proposing Person” shall mean (i) the stockholder providing the notice of business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting, (ii) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if different, on whose behalf the notice of the business proposed to be brought before the annual meeting is made, and (iii) any participant (as defined in paragraphs (a)(ii)-(vi) of Instruction 3 to Item 4 of Schedule 14A) with such stockholder in such solicitation.

(iv) A Proposing Person shall update and supplement its notice to the Corporation of its intent to propose business at an annual meeting, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be true and correct as of the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and as of the date that is 10 business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five business days after the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of such record date), and not later than eight business days prior to the date for the meeting or, if practicable, any

adjournment or postponement thereof (and, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date to which the meeting has been adjourned or postponed) (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of 10 business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this paragraph or any other Section of these Bylaws shall not limit the Corporation’s rights with respect to any deficiencies in any notice provided by a stockholder, extend any applicable deadlines hereunder or enable or be deemed to permit a stockholder who has previously submitted notice hereunder to amend or update any proposal or to submit any new proposal, including by changing or adding matters, business or resolutions proposed to be brought before a meeting of the stockholders.

(v) Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at an annual meeting that is not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with this Section 2.4. The presiding officer of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine that the business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with this Section 2.4, and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

(vi) This Section 2.4 is expressly intended to apply to any business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting of stockholders other than any proposal made in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and included in the Corporation’s proxy statement. In addition to the requirements of this Section 2.4 with respect to any business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting, each Proposing Person shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act with respect to any such business. Nothing in this Section 2.4 shall be deemed to affect the rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

(vii) For purposes of these Bylaws, “public disclosure” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by a national news service, in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or by such other means as is reasonably designed to inform the public or securityholders of the Corporation in general of such information including, without limitation, posting on the Corporation’s investor relations website.

For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this paragraph or any other Section of these Bylaws shall not limit the Corporation’s rights with respect to any deficiencies in any notice provided by a stockholder, extend any applicable deadlines hereunder or enable or be deemed to permit a stockholder who has previously submitted notice hereunder to amend or update any nomination or to submit any new nomination.

(v) In addition to the requirements of this Section 2.5 with respect to any nomination proposed to be made at a meeting, each Nominating Person shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act with respect to any such nominations.

2.9 Adjourned Meeting; Notice.

When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, unless these Bylaws otherwise require, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At any adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board shall fix as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting as of the record date so fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

2.10 Conduct of Business.

The date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced at the meeting by the person presiding over the meeting. The Board may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board, the person presiding over any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to convene and (for any or no reason) to recess and/or adjourn the meeting, to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures (which need not be in writing) and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such presiding person, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board or prescribed by the person presiding over the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present (including, without limitation, rules and procedures for removal of disruptive persons from the meeting); (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the person presiding over the meeting shall determine; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. The presiding person at any meeting of stockholders, in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the meeting (including, without limitation, determinations with respect to the administration and/or interpretation of any of the rules, regulations or procedures of the meeting, whether adopted by the Board or prescribed by the person presiding over the meeting), shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a matter of business was not properly brought before the meeting and if such presiding person should so determine, such presiding person shall so declare to the meeting and any such matter or business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted or considered. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board or the person presiding over the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

2.11 Voting.

Except as may be otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws or the DGCL, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder.

Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, at all duly called or convened meetings of stockholders at which a quorum is present, for the election of directors, a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect a director. Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, or applicable law or pursuant to any regulation applicable to the Corporation or its securities, each other matter presented to the stockholders at a duly called or convened meeting at which a quorum is present shall be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes) on such matter.

 

C-12


2.12 Record Date for Stockholder Meetings and Other Purposes.

In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than 60 days nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting. If the Board so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be the close of business on the next day preceding the day on which notice is first given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting; and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance herewith at the adjourned meeting.

In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment or any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of capital stock, or for the purposes of any other lawful action, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.

2.13 Proxies.

Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy authorized by an instrument in writing or by a transmission permitted by law filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212 of the DGCL. A proxy may be in the form of an electronic transmission that sets forth or is submitted with information from which it can be determined that the transmission was authorized by the stockholder.

2.14 List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote.

The Corporation shall prepare, at least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (provided, however, that if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than 10 days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. The Corporation shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the Corporation’s principal executive office. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Such list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them. Except as otherwise provided by law, the stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list of stockholders required by this Section 2.14 or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

 

C-13


2.15 Inspectors of Election.

Before any meeting of stockholders, the Corporation shall appoint an inspector or inspectors of election to act at the meeting or its adjournment and make a written report thereof. The Corporation may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If any person appointed as inspector or any alternate fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, then the person presiding over the meeting shall appoint a person to fill that vacancy.

Such inspectors shall:

(i) determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the number of shares represented at the meeting and the validity of any proxies and ballots;

(ii) count all votes or ballots;

(iii) count and tabulate all votes;

(iv) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspector(s); and

(v) certify its or their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and its or their count of all votes and ballots.

Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of the duties of inspector, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspection with strict impartiality and according to the best of such inspector’s ability. Any report or certificate made by the inspectors of election is prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. The inspectors of election may appoint such persons to assist them in performing their duties as they determine.

2.16 Delivery to the Corporation.

Whenever this Article II requires one or more persons (including a record or beneficial owner of stock) to deliver a document or information to the Corporation or any officer, employee or agent thereof (including any notice, request, questionnaire, revocation, representation or other document or agreement), such document or information shall be in writing exclusively (and not in an electronic transmission) and shall be delivered exclusively by hand (including, without limitation, overnight courier service) or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and the Corporation shall not be required to accept delivery of any document not in such written form or so delivered. For the avoidance of doubt, the Corporation expressly opts out of Section 116 of the DGCL with respect to the delivery of information and documents to the Corporation required by this Article II.

3.3 Election, Qualification and Term of Office of Directors.

Except as provided in Section 3.4 of these Bylaws, and subject to the Certificate of Incorporation, each director, including a director elected to fill a vacancy or newly created directorship, shall hold office until the expiration of the term of the class, if any, for which elected and until such director’s successor is elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation. Directors need not be stockholders. The Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws may prescribe qualifications for directors.

3.4 Resignation and Vacancies.

Any director may resign at any time upon notice given in writing or by electronic transmission to the Corporation. The resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein or upon the happening of an event specified therein, and if no time or event is specified, at the time of its receipt. When one or more directors so resigns and the resignation is effective at a future date or upon the happening of an event to occur on a future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective, and each director so chosen shall hold office as provided in Section 3.3.

Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, vacancies resulting from the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of any director, and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors shall be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director.

3.5 Place of Meetings; Meetings by Telephone.

The Board may hold meetings, both regular and special, either within or outside the State of Delaware.

Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, members of the Board, or any committee designated by the Board, may participate in a meeting of the Board, or any committee, by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting pursuant to this bylaw shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

3.6 Regular Meetings.

Regular meetings of the Board may be held within or outside the State of Delaware and at such time and at such place as which has been designated by the Board and publicized among all directors, either orally or in writing, by telephone, including a voice-messaging system or other system designed to record and communicate messages, facsimile, telegraph or telex, or by electronic mail or other means of electronic transmission. No further notice shall be required for regular meetings of the Board.

Special meetings of the Board for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Chairperson of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Secretary or a majority of the total number of directors constituting the Board.

directed to each director at that director’s address, telephone number, facsimile number or electronic mail address, or other address for electronic transmission, as the case may be, as shown on the Corporation’s records.

If the notice is (i) delivered personally by hand, by courier or by telephone, (ii) sent by facsimile or electronic mail, or (iii) sent by other means of electronic transmission, it shall be delivered or sent at least 24 hours before the time of the holding of the meeting. If the notice is sent by U.S. mail, it shall be deposited in the U.S. mail at least four days before the time of the holding of the meeting.

3.8 Quorum.

At all meetings of the Board, unless otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, a majority of the total number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The vote of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. If a quorum is not present at any meeting of the Board, then the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present.

3.9 Board Action without a Meeting.

Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board, or of any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission. After an action is taken, the consent or consents relating thereto shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board, or the committee thereof, in the same paper or electronic form as the minutes are maintained. Such action by written consent or consent by electronic transmission shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote of the Board.

3.10 Fees and Compensation of Directors.

Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the Board shall have the authority to fix the compensation, including fees and reimbursement of expenses, of directors for services to the Corporation in any capacity.

The Board may designate one or more committees, each committee to consist, of one or more of the directors of the Corporation. The Board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board or in these Bylaws, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers that may require it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority to (i) approve or adopt, or recommend to the stockholders, any action or matter expressly required by the DGCL to be submitted to stockholders for approval, or (ii) adopt, amend or repeal any bylaw of the Corporation.

(iv) Section 3.9 (board action without a meeting); and

(ii) special meetings of committees may also be called by resolution of the Board or the chairperson of the applicable committee; and

(iii) the Board may adopt rules for the governance of any committee to override the provisions that would otherwise apply to the committee pursuant to this Section 4.2, provided that such rules do not violate the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or applicable law.

The Chairperson or Vice Chairperson of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Treasurer, any Assistant Treasurer, the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Corporation shall be specifically authorized to sign stock certificates. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile.

The Board, subject to any restrictions contained in either (i) the DGCL or (ii) the Certificate of Incorporation, may declare and pay dividends upon the shares of its capital stock. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property or in shares of the Corporation’s capital stock.

The Board may set apart out of any of the funds of the Corporation available for dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose and may abolish any such reserve.

7.8 Fiscal Year.

The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be fixed by resolution of the Board and may be changed by the Board.

Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 7.12, shares of stock of the Corporation shall be transferred on the books of the Corporation only by the holder of record thereof or by such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender to the Corporation of the certificate or certificates representing such shares endorsed by the appropriate person or persons (or by delivery of duly executed instructions with respect to uncertificated shares), with such evidence of the authenticity of such endorsement or execution, transfer, authorization and other matters as the Corporation may reasonably require, and accompanied by all necessary stock transfer stamps. No transfer of stock shall be valid as against the Corporation for any purpose until it shall have been entered in the stock records of the Corporation by an entry showing the names of the persons from and to whom it was transferred.

7.11 Stock Transfer Agreements.

The Corporation shall have power to enter into and perform any agreement with any number of stockholders of any one or more classes or series of stock of the Corporation to restrict the transfer of shares of stock of the Corporation of any one or more classes owned by such stockholders in any manner not prohibited by the DGCL or other applicable law.

7.12 Registered Stockholders.

The Corporation:

(i) shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends and to vote as such owner; and

(ii) shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of another person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Delaware.

7.13 Waiver of Notice.

Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a written waiver, signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

Article VIII - Notice

8.1 Delivery of Notice; Notice by Electronic Transmission.

Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provisions of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws may be given in writing directed to the stockholder’s mailing address (or by electronic transmission directed to the stockholder’s electronic mail address, as applicable) as it appears on the records of the Corporation and shall be given (1) if mailed, when the notice is deposited in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, (2) if delivered by courier service, the earlier of when the notice is received or left at such stockholder’s address or (3) if given by electronic mail, when directed to such stockholder’s electronic mail address unless the stockholder has notified the Corporation in writing or by electronic transmission of an objection to receiving notice by electronic mail. A notice by electronic mail must include a prominent legend that the communication is an important notice regarding the Corporation.

 

C-21


Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice or electronic transmission to the Corporation. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, the Corporation may give a notice by electronic mail in accordance with the first paragraph of this section without obtaining the consent required by this paragraph.

Any notice given pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall be deemed given:

(i) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice;

(ii) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; and

(iii) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a notice may not be given by an electronic transmission from and after the time that (1) the Corporation is unable to deliver by such electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Corporation and (2) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice, provided, however, that the inadvertent failure to discover such inability shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

An affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

 

C-22


Article IX - Indemnification

9.1 Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings other than Those by or in the Right of the Corporation.

Subject to Section 9.3, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person 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 such person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person 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 reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful.

9.2 Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation.

Subject to Section 9.3, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to 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 such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware 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, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

9.3 Authorization of Indemnification.

Any indemnification under this Article IX (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director or officer is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 9.1 or Section 9.2, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (i) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (iv) by the stockholders. Such determination shall be made, with respect to former directors and officers, by any person or persons having the authority to act on the matter on behalf of the Corporation. To the extent, however, that a present or former director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.

 

C-23


9.4 Good Faith Defined.

For purposes of any determination under Section 9.3, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful, if such person’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to such person by the officers of the Corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Corporation or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation or another enterprise. The provisions of this Section 9.4 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 9.1 or 9.2, as the case may be.

9.5 Indemnification by a Court.

Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific case under Section 9.3, and notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, any director or officer may apply to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under Section 9.1 or 9.2. The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 9.1 or Section 9.2, as the case may be. Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 9.3 nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the director or officer seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this Article IX shall be given to the Corporation promptly upon the filing of such application. If successful, in whole or in part, the director or officer seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application.

9.6 Expenses Payable in Advance.

Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a director or officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article IX. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Corporation deems appropriate.

9.7 Nonexclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses.

The provisions of this Article IX shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in Section 9.1 or Section 9.2 but whom the Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the DGCL, or otherwise.

9.8 Insurance.

The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article IX.

Notwithstanding that a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation (collectively, the “Covered Persons”) may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by other persons (collectively, the “Other Indemnitors”), with respect to the rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance set forth herein, the Corporation: (i) shall be the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to Covered Persons are primary and any obligation of the Other Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by Covered Persons are secondary); and (ii) shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by Covered Persons and shall be liable for the full amount of all liabilities, without regard to any rights Covered Persons may have against any of the Other Indemnitors.

Exhibit 10.1

HIPPO HOLDINGS INC.

INDEMNIFICATION AND ADVANCEMENT AGREEMENT

This Indemnification and Advancement Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of [ 🌑 ], 20[ 🌑 ] by and between Hippo Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and ______________, [a member of the Board of Directors/an officer/an employee] of the Company (“Indemnitee”). This Agreement supersedes and replaces any and all previous Agreements between the Company and Indemnitee covering indemnification and advancement.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) believes that highly competent persons have become more reluctant to serve publicly-held corporations as directors, officers, or in other capacities unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance or adequate indemnification and advancement of expenses against inordinate risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of the corporation;

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that, in order to attract and retain qualified individuals, the Company will attempt to maintain on an ongoing basis, at its sole expense, liability insurance to protect persons serving the Company and its subsidiaries from certain liabilities. Although the furnishing of such insurance has been a customary and widespread practice among United States-based corporations and other business enterprises, the Company believes that, given current market conditions and trends, such insurance may be available to it in the future only at higher premiums and with more exclusions. At the same time, directors, officers, and other persons in service to corporations or business enterprises are being increasingly subjected to expensive and time-consuming litigation relating to, among other things, matters that traditionally would have been brought only against the Company or business enterprise itself. The Bylaws and Certificate of Incorporation of the Company require indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company. Indemnitee may also be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). The Bylaws, Certificate of Incorporation, and the DGCL expressly provide that the indemnification provisions set forth therein are not exclusive, and thereby contemplate that contracts may be entered into between the Company and members of the board of directors, officers and other persons with respect to indemnification and advancement of expenses;

WHEREAS, the uncertainties relating to such insurance, to indemnification, and to advancement of expenses may increase the difficulty of attracting and retaining such persons;

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that the increased difficulty in attracting and retaining such persons is detrimental to the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and that the Company should act to assure such persons that there will be increased certainty of such protection in the future;


WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified;

WHEREAS, this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Bylaws, Certificate of Incorporation and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, and is not a substitute therefor, nor diminishes or abrogates any rights of Indemnitee thereunder; and

WHEREAS, Indemnitee does not regard the protection available under the Bylaws, Certificate of Incorporation, DGCL and insurance as adequate in the present circumstances, and may not be willing to serve or continue to serve as an officer or director without adequate additional protection, and the Company desires Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve in such capacity. Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve and to take on additional service for or on behalf of the Company on the condition that Indemnitee be so indemnified and be advanced expenses.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

Section 1. Services to the Company. Indemnitee agrees to serve as [a/an] [director/officer/employee] of the Company. Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign from such position (subject to any other contractual obligation or any obligation imposed by operation of law). This Agreement does not create any obligation on the Company to continue Indemnitee in such position and is not an employment contract between the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any Enterprise) and Indemnitee.

Section 2. Definitions. As used in this Agreement:

(a) “Agent” means any person who is authorized by the Company or an Enterprise to act for or represent the interests of the Company or an Enterprise, respectively.

(i) Acquisition of Stock by Third Party. Any Person (as defined below) is or becomes the Beneficial Owner (as defined below), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing fifteen percent (15%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities unless the change in relative beneficial ownership of the Company’s securities by any Person results solely from a reduction in the aggregate number of outstanding shares of securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors;

(ii) Change in Board of Directors. 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, and any new director (other than a director designated by a person who has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in Sections 2(b)(i), 2(b)(iii) or 2(b)(iv)) whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds 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 at least a majority of the members of the Board;

 

2


(iii) Corporate Transactions. The effective date of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other entity, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation and with the power to elect at least a majority of the board of directors or other governing body of such surviving entity;

(iv) Liquidation. The approval by the stockholders of the Company of a complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; and

(v) Other Events. There occurs any other event of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A (or a response to any similar item on any similar schedule or form) promulgated under the Exchange Act (as defined below), whether or not the Company is then subject to such reporting requirement.

(1) “Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to time.

(2) “Person” has the meaning as set forth in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act; provided, however, that Person excludes (i) the Company, (ii) any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, and (iii) any corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company.

(3) “Beneficial Owner” has the meaning given to such term in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that Beneficial Owner excludes any Person otherwise becoming a Beneficial Owner by reason of the stockholders of the Company approving a merger of the Company with another entity.

(c) “Corporate Status” describes the status of a person who is or was acting as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or Agent of the Company or an Enterprise.

(d) “Disinterested Director” means a director of the Company who is not and was not a party to the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought by Indemnitee.

Expenses also include (i) Expenses incurred in connection with any appeal resulting from any Proceeding, including without limitation the premium, security for, and other costs relating to any cost bond, supersedeas bond, or other appeal bond or its equivalent, and (ii) for purposes of Section 14(d) only, Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the interpretation, enforcement or defense of Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement, by litigation or otherwise. The parties agree that for the purposes of any advancement of Expenses for which Indemnitee has made written demand to the Company in accordance with this Agreement, all Expenses included in such demand that are certified by affidavit of Indemnitee’s counsel as being reasonable in the good faith judgment of such counsel will be presumed conclusively to be reasonable. Expenses, however, do not include amounts paid in settlement by Indemnitee or the amount of judgments or fines against Indemnitee.

(g) “Independent Counsel” means a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that is experienced in matters of corporation law and neither presently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent: (i) the Company or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party (other than with respect to matters concerning the Indemnitee under this Agreement, or of other indemnitees under similar indemnification agreements), or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” does not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement.

(h) The term “Proceeding” includes any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, claim, counterclaim, cross claim, arbitration, mediation, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing or any other actual, threatened or completed proceeding, whether brought in the right of the Company or otherwise and whether of a civil, criminal, administrative, legislative, or investigative (formal or informal) nature, including any appeal therefrom, in which Indemnitee was, is or will be involved as a party, potential party, non-party witness or otherwise by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status or by reason of any action taken by Indemnitee (or a failure to take action by Indemnitee) or of any action (or failure to act) on Indemnitee’s part while acting pursuant to Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, in each case whether or not serving in such capacity at the time any liability or Expense is incurred for which indemnification, reimbursement, or advancement of Expenses can be provided under this Agreement. A Proceeding also includes a situation the Indemnitee believes in good faith may lead to or culminate in the institution of a Proceeding.

Section 3. Indemnity in Third-Party Proceedings. The Company will indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 if Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any Proceeding, other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 3, the Company will indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of a criminal Proceeding had no reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

Section 4. Indemnity in Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. The Company will indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4 if Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 4, the Company will indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. The Company will not indemnify Indemnitee for Expenses under this Section 4 related to any claim, issue or matter in a Proceeding for which Indemnitee has been finally adjudged by a court to be liable to the Company, unless, and only to the extent that, the Delaware Court of Chancery or any court in which the Proceeding was brought determines upon application by Indemnitee that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification.

Section 5. Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company will indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding the extent that Indemnitee is successful, on the merits or otherwise.

For purposes of this Section 5 and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal (with or without prejudice), motion for summary judgment, settlement (with or without court approval), or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent will be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.

Section 6. Indemnification For Expenses of a Witness. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company will indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party but to which Indemnitee is a witness, deponent, interviewee, or otherwise asked to participate.

Section 7. Partial Indemnification.

Section 9. Exclusions. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Company is not obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnification payment to Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding:

(a) for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, except to the extent provided in Section 16(b) and except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision; provided, however, that payment made to Indemnitee pursuant to an insurance policy purchased and maintained by Indemnitee at his or her own expense of any amounts otherwise indemnifiable or obligated to be made pursuant to this Agreement shall not reduce the Company’s obligations to Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement; or

(b) for (i) an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act (as defined in Section 2(b) hereof) or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law, (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) or (iii) any reimbursement of the Company by Indemnitee of any compensation pursuant to any compensation recoupment or clawback policy adopted by the Board or the compensation committee of the Board, including but not limited to any such policy adopted to comply with stock exchange listing requirements implementing Section 10D of the Exchange Act; or

(c) initiated by Indemnitee, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Proceeding or part of any Proceeding is to enforce Indemnitee’s rights to indemnification or advancement, of Expenses, including a Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated pursuant to Section 14 of this Agreement, (ii) the Board authorized the Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) prior to its initiation or (iii) the Company provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law.

Section 10. Advances of Expenses.

(a) The Company will advance the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) not initiated by Indemnitee or any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee if (i) the Proceeding or part of any Proceeding is to enforce Indemnitee’s rights to obtain indemnification or advancement of Expenses from the Company or Enterprise, including a proceeding initiated pursuant to Section 14 or (ii) the Board authorized the Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) prior to its initiation. The Company will advance the Expenses within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements requesting such advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of any Proceeding. Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, within thirty days after any request by Indemnitee, the Company shall, in accordance with such request (but without duplication), (a) pay such Expenses on behalf of Indemnitee, (b) advance to Indemnitee funds in an amount sufficient to pay such Expenses, or (c) reimburse Indemnitee for such Expenses.

(b) Advances will be unsecured and interest free. Indemnitee undertakes to repay the amounts advanced (without interest) to the extent that it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company, thus Indemnitee qualifies for advances upon the execution of this Agreement and delivery to the Company. No other form of undertaking is required other than the execution of this Agreement. The Company will make advances without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the Expenses, without regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification under the other provisions of this Agreement, and without regard to Indemnitee’s entitlement to and the availability of insurance coverage, including advancement, payment or reimbursement of defense costs, expenses or covered loss under the provisions of any applicable insurance policy (including, without limitation, whether such advancement, payment or reimbursement is withheld, conditioned or delayed by the insurer(s)). The Company shall not seek from a court, or agree to, a “bar order” which would have the effect of prohibiting or limiting the Indemnitee’s rights to receive advancement of expenses under this Agreement.

Section 11. Procedure for Notification of Claim for Indemnification or Advancement.

(a) Indemnitee will notify the Company in writing of any Proceeding with respect to which Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt by Indemnitee of written notice thereof. Indemnitee will provide such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification following the final disposition of such Proceeding. Indemnitee’s failure to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any obligation it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement, and any delay in so notifying the Company will not constitute a waiver by Indemnitee of any rights under this Agreement. The Secretary of the Company will, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification or advancement, advise the Board in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification or advancement.

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

Section 12. Procedure Upon Application for Indemnification.

(a) Unless a Change of Control has occurred, the determination of Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification will be made:

(i) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board;

(ii) by a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board;

(iii) if there are no such Disinterested Directors or, if such Disinterested Directors so direct, by written opinion provided by Independent Counsel selected by the Board; or

(iv) if so directed by the Board, by the stockholders of the Company.

(b) If a Change in Control has occurred, the determination of Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification will be made by written opinion provided by Independent Counsel selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee requests such selection be made by the Board)

(c) The party selecting Independent Counsel pursuant to subsection (a)(iii) or (b) of this Section 12 will provide written notice of the selection to the other party. The notified party may, within ten (10) days after receiving written notice of the selection of Independent Counsel, deliver to the selecting party a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement, and the objection will set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected will act as Independent Counsel. If such written objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or the Delaware Court has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within thirty (30) days after the later of submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 11(a) hereof and the final disposition of the Proceeding, Independent Counsel has not been selected or, if selected, any objection to has not been resolved, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the Delaware Court for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by such court or by such other person as such court designates. Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 14(a) of this Agreement, Independent Counsel will be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing).

(d) Indemnitee will cooperate with the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. The Company will advance and pay any Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity

making the indemnification determination irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom. The Company promptly will advise Indemnitee in writing of the determination that Indemnitee is or is not entitled to indemnification, including a description of any reason or basis for which indemnification has been denied and providing a copy of any written opinion provided to the Board by Independent Counsel.

(e) If it is determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company will make payment to Indemnitee within thirty (30) days after such determination.

Section 13. Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings.

(a) In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such determination will presume Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 11(a) of this Agreement, and the Company will have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption by clear and convincing evidence. Neither the failure of the Company (including by its directors or Independent Counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company (including by its directors or Independent Counsel) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, will be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

(b) If the determination of the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification has not made pursuant to Section 12 within sixty (60) days after the later of (i) receipt by the Company of Indemnitee’s request for indemnification pursuant to Section 11(a) and (ii) the final disposition of the Proceeding for which Indemnitee requested Indemnification (the “Determination Period”), the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification will, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee will be entitled to such indemnification, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law. The Determination Period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days, if the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires such additional time for the obtaining or evaluating of documentation and/or information relating thereto; and provided, further, the Determination Period may be extended an additional fifteen (15) days if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by the stockholders pursuant to Section 12(a)(iv) of this Agreement.

(c) 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, will 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 Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

 

9


(d) For purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee will be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee acted based on the records or books of account of the Company, its subsidiaries, or an Enterprise, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the directors or officers of the Company, its subsidiaries, or an Enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Company, its subsidiaries, or an Enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Company or an Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser, financial advisor or other expert selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company, its subsidiaries, or an Enterprise. Further, Indemnitee will be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Company,” as referred to in this Agreement if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan. The provisions of this Section 13(d) is not exclusive and does not limit in any way the other circumstances in which the Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement.

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

Section 14. Remedies of Indemnitee.

(a) Indemnitee may commence litigation against the Company in the Delaware Court of Chancery to obtain indemnification or advancement of Expenses provided by this Agreement in the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) the Company does not advance Expenses pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement, (iii) the determination of entitlement to indemnification is not made pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement within the Determination Period, (iv) the Company does not indemnify Indemnitee pursuant to Section 5 or 6 or the second to last sentence of Section 12(d) of this Agreement within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, (v) the Company does not indemnify Indemnitee pursuant to Section 3, 4, 7, or 8 of this Agreement within thirty (30) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, or (vi) in the event that the Company or any other person takes or threatens to take any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any litigation or other action or Proceeding designed to deny, or to recover from, the Indemnitee the benefits provided or intended to be provided to the Indemnitee hereunder. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at Indemnitee’s option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Indemnitee must commence such Proceeding seeking an adjudication or an award in arbitration within one hundred and eighty (180) days following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such Proceeding pursuant to this Section 14(a); provided, however, that the foregoing clause does not apply in respect of a Proceeding brought by Indemnitee to enforce Indemnitee’s rights under Section 5 of this Agreement. The Company will not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration.

 

10


(b) If a determination is made pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 14 will be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits and Indemnitee may not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination. In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 14 the Company will have the burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the case may be, and will not introduce evidence of the determination made pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement.

(c) If a determination is made pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company will be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 14, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.

(d) The Company is precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 14 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and will stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.

(e) It is the intent of the Company that the Indemnitee not be required to incur legal fees or other Expenses associated with the interpretation, enforcement or defense of Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement by litigation or otherwise because the cost and expense thereof would substantially detract from the benefits intended to be extended to the Indemnitee hereunder. The Company will (within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor) advance to Indemnitee such Expenses which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action concerning this Agreement, Indemnitee’s right to indemnification or advancement of Expenses from the Company, or concerning any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, and will indemnify Indemnitee against any and all such Expenses unless the court determines that each of the Indemnitee’s claims in such action were made in bad faith or were frivolous or are prohibited by law.

Section 15. Reserved.

Section 16. Non-exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance; Subrogation.

(a) The indemnification and advancement of Expenses provided by this Agreement are not exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or a resolution of directors, or otherwise. The indemnification and advancement of Expenses provided by this Agreement may not be limited or restricted by any amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement in any way with respect to any action taken or omitted by Indemnitee in Indemnitee’s Corporate Status occurring prior to any amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement. To the extent that a change in Delaware law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the Bylaws, Certificate of Incorporation, or this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy is cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, will not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.

 

11


(b) The Company hereby acknowledges that Indemnitee may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of Expenses and/or insurance provided by one or more other Persons with whom or which Indemnitee may be associated. The relationship between the Company and such other Persons, other than an Enterprise, with respect to the Indemnitee’s rights to indemnification, advancement of Expenses, and insurance is described by this subsection, subject to the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section 16 with respect to a Proceeding concerning Indemnitee’s Corporate Status with an Enterprise.

(i) The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees:

(1) the Company is the indemnitor of first resort with respect to any request for indemnification or advancement of Expenses made pursuant to this Agreement concerning any Proceeding;

(2) the Company is primarily liable for all indemnification and indemnification or advancement of Expenses obligations for any Proceeding, whether created by law, organizational or constituent documents, contract (including this Agreement) or otherwise;

(3) any obligation of any other Persons with whom or which Indemnitee may be associated to indemnify Indemnitee and/or advance Expenses to Indemnitee in respect of any proceeding are secondary to the obligations of the Company’s obligations;

(4) the Company will indemnify Indemnitee and advance Expenses to Indemnitee hereunder to the fullest extent provided herein without regard to any rights Indemnitee may have against any other Person with whom or which Indemnitee may be associated or insurer of any such Person; and

(5) the Company irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases (A) any other Person with whom or which Indemnitee may be associated from any claim of contribution, subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration or indemnification, or any other recovery of any kind in respect of amounts paid by the Company to Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement and (B) any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Indemnitee against any Person, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any Person, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right.

 

12


(ii) In the event any other Person with whom or which Indemnitee may be associated or their insurers advances or extinguishes any liability or loss for Indemnitee, the payor has a right of subrogation against the Company or its insurers for all amounts so paid which would otherwise be payable by the Company or its insurers under this Agreement. In no event will payment by any other Person with whom or which Indemnitee may be associated or their insurers affect the obligations of the Company hereunder or shift primary liability for the Company’s obligation to indemnify or advance of Expenses to any other Person with whom or which Indemnitee may be associated.

(iii) Any indemnification or advancement of Expenses provided by any other Person with whom or which Indemnitee may be associated is specifically in excess over the Company’s obligation to indemnify and advance Expenses or any valid and collectible insurance (including but not limited to any malpractice insurance or professional errors and omissions insurance) provided by the Company.

(c) To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, officers, employees, or agents of the Company, the Company will obtain a policy or policies covering Indemnitee to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any such director, officer, employee or agent under such policy or policies, including coverage in the event the Company does not or cannot, for any reason, indemnify or advance Expenses to Indemnitee as required by this Agreement. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to this Agreement, the Company has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company will give prompt notice of such claim or of the commencement of a Proceeding, as the case may be, to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company will 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. If requested by Indemnitee, within two business days of such request the Company will instruct the insurance carriers and the Company’s insurance broker that they may communicate directly with Indemnitee regarding such claim. Indemnitee agrees to assist the Company efforts to cause the insurers to pay such amounts and will comply with the terms of such policies, including selection of approved panel counsel, if required. In the event of a change of control or the Company’s becoming insolvent, the Company shall maintain in force any and all insurance policies then maintained by the Company in providing insurance—directors’ and officers’ liability, fiduciary, employment practices or otherwise--in respect of the individual directors and officers of the Company, for a fixed period of six years thereafter (a “Tail Policy”). Such coverage shall be non-cancellable and shall be placed and serviced for the duration of its term by the Company’s incumbent insurance broker. Such broker shall place the Tail policy with the incumbent insurance carriers using the policies that were in place at the time of the change of control event (unless the incumbent carriers will not offer such policies, in which case the Tail Policy placed by the Company’s insurance broker 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).

(d) The Company’s obligation to indemnify or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee for any Proceeding concerning Indemnitee’s Corporate Status with an Enterprise will be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification or advancement of Expenses from such Enterprise. The Company and Indemnitee intend that any such Enterprise (and its insurers) be the indemnitor of first resort with respect to indemnification and advancement of Expenses for any Proceeding related to or arising from Indemnitee’s Corporate Status with such Enterprise. The Company’s obligation to indemnify and advance Expenses to Indemnitee is secondary to the obligations the Enterprise or its insurers owe to Indemnitee. Indemnitee agrees to take all reasonably necessary and desirable action to obtain from an Enterprise indemnification and advancement of Expenses for any Proceeding related to or arising from Indemnitee’s Corporate Status with such Enterprise.

 

13


(e) In the event of any payment made by the Company under this Agreement, the Company will be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee from any Enterprise or insurance carrier. Indemnitee will 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.

Section 17. Duration of Agreement. All the rights and privileges afforded by this agreement, including the right to indemnification and the advancement of legal fees provided under this Agreement, shall continue as to Indemnitee for any action taken or not taken while serving in an indemnified capacity pertaining to an Indemnifiable Event even though Indemnitee may have ceased to serve in such capacity at the time of any Proceeding. The indemnification and advancement of Expenses rights provided by or granted pursuant to this Agreement are binding upon and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company), continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or of any other Enterprise, and inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s spouse, assigns, heirs, devisees, executors and administrators and other legal representatives. In addition, the Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially all, or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement and indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Section 18. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; (b) such provision or provisions will be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (c) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) will be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby.

Section 19. Interpretation. Any ambiguity in the terms of this Agreement will be resolved in favor of Indemnitee and in a manner to provide the maximum indemnification and advancement of Expenses permitted by law. The Company and Indemnitee intend that this Agreement provide to the fullest extent permitted by law for indemnification and advancement in excess of that expressly provided, without limitation, by the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, vote of the Company stockholders or disinterested directors, or applicable law.

 

14


Section 20. Enforcement.

(a) The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as a director or officer of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving or continuing to serve as a director or officer of the Company.

(b) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws and applicable law, and is not a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder.

(c) Monetary Damages Insufficient/Specific Performance. The Company and Indemnitee agree that a monetary remedy for breach of this Agreement may be inadequate, impracticable and difficult of proof, and further agree that such breach may cause Indemnitee irreparable harm. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree that Indemnitee may enforce this Agreement by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific performance hereof, without any necessity of showing actual damage or irreparable harm (having agreed that actual and irreparable harm will result in not forcing the Company to specifically perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement) and that by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific performance, Indemnitee shall not be precluded from seeking or obtaining any other relief to which he may be entitled. The Company and Indemnitee further agree that Indemnitee shall be entitled to such specific performance and injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions, without the necessity of posting bonds or other undertaking in connection therewith. The Company acknowledges that in the absence of a waiver, a bond or undertaking may be required of Indemnitee by the Court, and the Company hereby waives any such requirement of a bond or undertaking. If Indemnitee seeks mandatory injunctive relief, it shall not be a defense to enforcement of the Company’s obligations set forth in this Agreement that Indemnitee has an adequate remedy at law for damages.

Section 21. Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement is binding unless executed in writing by the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement will be deemed or constitutes a waiver of any other provisions of this Agreement nor will any waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

Section 22. Notice by Indemnitee. Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the Company in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of Expenses covered hereunder. The failure of Indemnitee to so notify the Company does not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to the Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise.

 

15


Section 23. Notice by Company. If the Indemnitee is the subject of, or is, to the knowledge of the Company, implicated in any way during an investigation, whether formal or informal, that is related to Indemnitee’s Corporate Status and that reasonably could lead to a Proceeding for which indemnification can be provided under this Agreement, the Company shall notify the Indemnitee of such investigation and shall share (to the extent legally permissible) with Indemnitee any information it has provided to any third parties concerning the investigation (“Shared Information”). By executing this Agreement, Indemnitee agrees that such Shared Information is material non-public information that Indemnitee is obligated to hold in confidence and may not disclose publicly; provided, however, that Indemnitee may use the Shared Information and disclose such Shared Information to Indemnitee’s legal counsel and third parties, in each case solely in connection with defending Indemnitee from legal liability.

Section 24. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given if (a) delivered by hand to the other party, (b) sent by reputable overnight courier to the other party or (c) sent by facsimile transmission or electronic mail, with receipt of oral confirmation that such communication has been received:

(a) If to Indemnitee, at the address indicated on the signature page of this Agreement, or such other address as Indemnitee provides to the Company.

(b) If to the Company to:

 

                           Name:   Hippo Holdings Inc.
  Address:   150 Forest Avenue
    Palo Alto, California 94301
  Attention:   Chief Executive Officer

or to any other address as may have been furnished to Indemnitee by the Company.

Section 25. 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, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, will contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection with any claim relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee as a result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such Proceeding; and/or (ii) the relative fault of the Company (and its directors, officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s) and/or transaction(s).

 

16


Section 26. Applicable Law and Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and the legal relations among the parties are governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Except with respect to any arbitration commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 14(a) of this Agreement, the Company and Indemnitee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agree that any action or Proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement may be brought only in the Delaware Court of Chancery and not in any other state or federal court in the United States of America or any court in any other country, (ii) consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court for purposes of any action or Proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, (iii) waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or Proceeding in the Delaware Court, and (iv) waive, and agree not to plead or to make, any claim that any such action or Proceeding brought in the Delaware Court has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum. The Company hereby agrees to fully indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee from any claims for contribution which may be brought by officers, directors or employees of the Company (other than Indemnitee) who may be jointly liable with Indemnitee.

Section 27. Identical Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together constitutes one and the same Agreement. Only one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforceability is sought needs to be produced to evidence the existence of this Agreement.

Section 28. Headings. The headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute part of this Agreement or affect the construction thereof.

REGISTRATIONS AND OFFERINGS

2.1 Shelf Registration.

2.1.1 Filing. Within thirty (30) calendar days following the Closing Date, the Company shall submit to or file with the Commission a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form S-1 (the “Form S-1 Shelf”) or a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form S-3 (the “Form S-3 Shelf”), if the Company is then eligible to use a Form S-3 Shelf, in each case, covering the resale of all the Registrable Securities (determined as of two (2) business days prior to such submission or filing) on a delayed or continuous basis and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such Shelf declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (a) the sixtieth (60th) calendar day (or ninetieth (90th) calendar day if the Commission notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the filing date thereof and (b) the tenth (10th) business day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. Such Shelf shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. The Company shall maintain a Shelf in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep a Shelf continuously effective, available for use to permit the Holders named therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. In the event the Company files a Form S-1 Shelf, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form S-1 Shelf (and any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement) to a Form S-3 Shelf as soon as practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form S-3. The Company’s obligation under this Section 2.1.1, shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to Section 3.4.

2.1.2 Subsequent Shelf Registration. If any Shelf ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities are still outstanding, the Company shall, subject to Section 3.4, use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable cause such Shelf to again become effective under the Securities Act (including using its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable amend such Shelf in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf or file an additional registration statement as a Shelf Registration (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement”) registering the resale of all Registrable Securities (determined as of two (2) business days prior to such filing), and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement is filed, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) if the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) at the most recent applicable eligibility determination date) and (ii) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, available for use to permit the Holders named therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 to the extent that the Company is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be on another appropriate form. The Company’s obligation under this Section 2.1.2, shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to Section 3.4.

2.1.3 Additional Registrable Securities. Subject to Section 3.4, in the event that any Holder holds Registrable Securities that are not registered for resale on a delayed or continuous basis, the Company, upon written request of (i) a Hippo Holder holding at least five percent (5%) of the Registrable Securities or (ii) the Sponsor Managers during the Sponsor Consent Period, shall promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the


resale of such Registrable Securities to be covered by either, at the Company’s option, any then available Shelf (including by means of a post-effective amendment) or by filing a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement and cause the same to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing and such Shelf or Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be subject to the terms hereof; provided, however, that the Company shall only be required to cause such Registrable Securities to be so covered twice per calendar year for each of the Sponsor, the Hippo Holders, the Investor Stockholder and the Director Holders.

2.1.4 Requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns. Subject to Section 3.4, at any time and from time to time when an effective Shelf is on file with the Commission, the Sponsor, the Investor Stockholder or a Hippo Holder (any of the Sponsor, the Investor Stockholder or a Hippo Holder being in such case, a “Demanding Holder”) may request to sell all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering that is registered pursuant to the Shelf, including a Block Trade or an Other Coordinated Offering (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”); provided that the Company shall only be obligated to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if such offering shall include Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by the Demanding Holder, either individually or together with other Demanding Holders, with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $100 million (the “Minimum Takedown Threshold”). All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to the Company, which shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Subject to Section 2.4.4, the Company shall have the right to select the Underwriters for such offering (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks), subject to the initial Demanding Holder’s prior approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Sponsor, the Investor Stockholder and a Hippo Holder may each demand not more than two (2) Underwritten Shelf Takedowns pursuant to this Section 2.1.4 in any twelve (12) month period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may effectuate any Underwritten Offering pursuant to any then effective Registration Statement, including a Form S-3, that is then available for such offering. The Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement in a form as is customary in Underwritten Offerings with the managing Underwriter or Underwriters and shall take all such other reasonable actions as are requested by the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities. In connection with any Underwritten Shelf Offering contemplated by this Section 2.1.4, the underwriting agreement into which each Holder and the Company shall enter shall contain such representations, covenants, indemnities and other rights and obligations of the Company and the selling stockholders as are customary in underwritten offerings of securities.

2.1.5 Reduction of Underwritten Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, in good faith, advises the Company, the Demanding Holders and the Holders requesting piggy back rights pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown (the “Requesting Holders”) (if any) in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell and all other shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, that have been requested to be sold in such Underwritten Offering pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other stockholders of the Company, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering, before including any shares of Common Stock or other equity securities proposed to be sold by Company or by other holders of Common Stock or other equity securities, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder and Requesting Holder (if any) has requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders have requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

2.1.6 Withdrawal. Prior to the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall have the right to withdraw from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification (a “Withdrawal Notice”) to the Company and


the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown; provided that the Sponsor, the Investor Stockholder or a Hippo Holder may elect to have the Company continue an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if the Minimum Takedown Threshold would still be satisfied by the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown by the Sponsor, the Investor Stockholder, the Hippo Holders or any of their respective Permitted Transferees, as applicable. If withdrawn, a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall constitute a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown by the withdrawing Demanding Holder for purposes of Section 2.1.4, unless either (i) such Demanding Holder has not previously withdrawn any Underwritten Shelf Takedown or (ii) such Demanding Holder reimburses the Company for all Registration Expenses with respect to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown (or, if there is more than one Demanding Holder, a pro rata portion of such Registration Expenses based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown); provided that, if the Sponsor, the Investor Stockholder or a Hippo Holder elects to continue an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, such Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall instead count as an Underwritten Shelf Takedown demanded by the Sponsor, the Investor Stockholder or such Hippo Holder, as applicable, for purposes of Section 2.1.4. Following the receipt of any Withdrawal Notice, the Company shall promptly forward such Withdrawal Notice to any other Holders that had elected to participate in such Shelf Takedown. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Shelf Takedown prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.1.6, other than if a Demanding Holder elects to pay such Registration Expenses pursuant to clause (ii) of the second sentence of this Section 2.1.6.

2.1.7 Restrictions on Registration Rights. If (a) during the period starting with the date forty-five (45) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date one hundred and twenty (120) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated Registration and provided that the Company has delivered written notice to the Holders prior to receipt of a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to Section 2.1.4 and it continues to actively employ, in good faith, all reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Registration Statement to become effective; (b) the Holders have requested an Underwritten Offering and the Company and the Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite the offer; or (c) in the good faith judgment of the Board such Registration or Underwritten Offering would be seriously detrimental to the Company and the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement or such Underwritten Offering at such time, then in each case the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be seriously detrimental to the Company for such Registration Statement to be filed or such Underwritten Offering to be conducted, as the case may be, in the near future and that it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement or the Underwritten Offering, as the case may be. In such event, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing or Underwritten Offering for a period of not more than thirty (30) days; provided, however, that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than once in any twelve (12)-month period.

Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, in such offering, and (ii) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to include in such registered offering such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within five (5) days after receipt of such written notice (such registered offering, a “Piggyback Registration”). Subject to Section 2.2.2, the Company shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and, if applicable, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of such Piggyback Registration to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.2.1 to be included therein on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included in such registered offering and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof.

3.1.7 advise each seller of such Registrable Securities, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued;

3.1.8 at least five (5) days prior to the filing of any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus (or such shorter period of time as may be (a) necessary in order to comply with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, as applicable or (b) advisable in order to reduce the number of days that sales are suspended pursuant to Section 3.4), furnish a copy thereof to each seller of such Registrable Securities or its counsel (excluding any exhibits thereto and any filing made under the Exchange Act that is to be incorporated by reference therein);

3.1.9 notify the Holders at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes a Misstatement, and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section 3.4;

3.1.10 in the event of an Underwritten Offering, a Block Trade, an Other Coordinated Offering, or sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent pursuant to such Registration, permit a representative of the Holders, the Underwriters or other financial institutions facilitating such Underwritten Offering, Block Trade, Other Coordinated Offering or other sale pursuant to such Registration, if any, and any attorney, consultant or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriter to participate, at each such person’s or entity’s own expense, in the preparation of the Registration Statement, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter, financial institution, attorney, consultant or accountant in connection with the Registration; provided, however, that such representatives, Underwriters or financial institutions agree to confidentiality arrangements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information;

3.1.11 obtain a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten Offering, a Block Trade, an Other Coordinated Offering or sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent pursuant to such Registration (subject to such broker, placement agent or sales agent providing such certification or representation reasonably requested by the Company’s independent registered public accountants and the Company’s counsel) in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters as the managing Underwriter may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders;

3.1.12 in the event of an Underwritten Offering, a Block Trade, an Other Coordinated Offering or sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent pursuant to such Registration, on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, obtain an opinion, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the participating Holders, the broker, placement agents or sales agent, if any and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the participating Holders, broker, placement agent, sales agent or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters;


3.1.13 in the event of any Underwritten Offering, a Block Trade, an Other Coordinated Offering or sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent pursuant to such Registration, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting or other purchase or sales agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing Underwriter or the broker, placement agent or sales agent of such offering or sale;

3.1.14 make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule then in effect);

3.1.15 with respect to an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.1.4, use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available senior executives of the Company to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriter in such Underwritten Offering; and

3.1.16 otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the participating Holders, consistent with the terms of this Agreement, in connection with such Registration.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to provide any documents or information to an Underwriter, broker, sales agent or placement agent if such Underwriter, broker, sales agent or placement agent has not then been named with respect to the applicable Underwritten Offering or other offering involving a registration as an Underwriter, broker, sales agent or placement agent, as applicable.

3.2 Registration Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.

3.3 Requirements for Participation in Registration Statement in Offerings. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Holder does not provide the Company with its requested Holder Information, the Company may exclude such Holder’s Registrable Securities from the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus if the Company determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such information is necessary to effect the registration and such Holder continues thereafter to withhold such information. No person or entity may participate in any Underwritten Offering or other offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person or entity (i) agrees to sell such person’s or entity’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting, sales, distribution or placement arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting or other agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting, sales, distribution or placement arrangements. The exclusion of a Holder’s Registrable Securities as a result of this Section 3.3 shall not affect the registration of the other Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration.

3.4 Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure; Restrictions on Registration Rights.

3.4.1 Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed.

3.4.2 Subject to Section 3.4.4, if the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would (a) require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, (b) require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, or (c) in the good faith judgment of the majority of the Board, be seriously detrimental to the Company and the majority of the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer


such filing, initial effectiveness or continued use at such time, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders (which notice shall not specify the nature of the event giving rise to such delay or suspension), delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose. In the event the Company exercises its rights under this Section 3.4.2, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities until such Holder receives written notice from the Company that such sales or offers of Registrable Securities may be resumed, and in each case maintain the confidentiality of such notice and its contents.

3.4.3 Subject to Section 3.4.4, (a) during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date one hundred and twenty (120) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated Registration and provided that the Company continues to actively employ, in good faith, all reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the applicable Shelf Registration, or (b) if, pursuant to Section 2.1.4, Holders have requested an Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the Company and Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite such offering, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay any other registered offering pursuant to Section 2.1.4 or 2.4.

3.4.4 The right to delay or suspend any filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 3.4.2 or a registered offering pursuant to Section 3.4.3 shall be exercised by the Company, in the aggregate, for not more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days or more than one hundred and twenty (120) total calendar days in each case, during any twelve (12)-month period.

3.5 Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings; provided that any documents publicly filed or furnished with the Commission pursuant to the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System shall be deemed to have been furnished or delivered to the Holders pursuant to this Section 3.5. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of Common Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

ARTICLE IV

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

4.1 Indemnification.

4.1.1 The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers, directors and agents and each person or entity who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act), against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus 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 not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each person or entity who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Holder.


4.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish (or cause to be furnished) to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (the “Holder Information”) and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors, officers and agents and each person or entity who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus 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 not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement is contained in (or not contained in, in the case of an omission) any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person or entity who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.

4.1.3 Any person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s or entity’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim 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. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

4.1.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person or entity of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s or such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by in the case of an omission), such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and


opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this Section 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 4.1.5. No person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 4.1.5 from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Upon a transfer by the Sponsor pursuant to subsection (z) to the Sponsor Members, the rights that are personal to the Sponsor shall be exercised by the Sponsor Members only with the consent of the Sponsor Managers.

5.2.3 This Agreement and the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties and its successors and the permitted assigns of the Holders, which shall include Permitted Transferees.


5.2.4 This Agreement shall not confer any rights or benefits on any persons or entities that are not parties hereto, other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement and Section 5.2.

5.2.5 No assignment by any party hereto of such party’s rights, duties and obligations hereunder shall be binding upon or obligate the Company unless and until the Company shall have received (i) written notice of such assignment as provided in Section 5.1 hereof and (ii) the written agreement of the assignee, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement (which may be accomplished by an addendum or certificate of joinder to this Agreement). Any transfer or assignment made other than as provided in this Section 5.2 shall be null and void.

5.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts (including facsimile or PDF counterparts), each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute the same instrument, but only one of which need be produced.

5.4 Governing Law; Venue. NOTWITHSTANDING THE PLACE WHERE THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE EXECUTED BY ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT (1) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE AND (2) THE VENUE FOR ANY ACTION TAKEN WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE THE COURT OF CHANCERY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE (OR, TO THE EXTENT SUCH COURT DOES NOT HAVE SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE), OR, IF IT HAS OR CAN ACQUIRE JURISDICTION, IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF DELAWARE.

5.5 TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

5.6 Amendments and Modifications. Upon the written consent of (a) the Company, (b) the Holders of a majority of the total Registrable Securities and (c) the Sponsor Managers during the Sponsor Consent Period, compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived, or any of such provisions, covenants or conditions may be amended or modified; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver hereof during the Sponsor Consent Period shall also require the written consent of a majority of the Registrable Securities held by the Sponsor Holders; provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver hereof shall also require the written consent of each Hippo Holder so long as such Hippo Holder and its affiliates hold, in the aggregate, at least five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company; and provided, further, that any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects one Holder, solely in its capacity as a holder of the shares of capital stock of the Company, in a manner that is materially different from the other Holders (in such capacity) shall require the consent of the Holder so affected. No course of dealing between any Holder or the Company and any other party hereto or any failure or delay on the part of a Holder or the Company in exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any Holder or the Company. No single or partial exercise of any rights or remedies under this Agreement by a party shall operate as a waiver or preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder by such party.

5.7 Other Registration Rights. Other than (i) the Third Party Investor Stockholders who have registration rights with respect to their Investor Shares pursuant to their respective Subscription Agreements and (ii) as provided in the Warrant Agreement, dated as of November 18, 2020, between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company represents and warrants that no person or entity, other than a Holder of Registrable Securities, has any right to require the Company to register any securities of the Company for sale or to include such securities of the Company in any Registration Statement filed by the Company for the sale of securities for its own account or for the account of any other person or entity. For (a) the duration of the Sponsor Consent Period, the


Company hereby agrees and covenants that it will not grant rights to register any Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) pursuant to the Securities Act that are more favorable, pari passu or senior to those granted to the Holders hereunder (such rights “Competing Registration Rights”) without (1) the prior written consent of the Sponsor Managers, or (2) granting economically and legally equivalent rights to the Holders hereunder such that the Holders shall receive the benefit of such more favorable or senior terms and conditions; and (b) so long as a Hippo Holder and its affiliates hold, in the aggregate, at least five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, the Company hereby agrees and covenants that it will not grant Competing Registration Rights without (1) the prior written consent of such Hippo Holder, or (2) granting economically and legally equivalent rights to the Holders hereunder such that the Holders shall receive the benefit of such more favorable or senior terms and conditions. Further, the Company represents and warrants that this Agreement supersedes any other registration rights agreement or agreement with similar terms and conditions, other than the Subscription Agreements. Further, in the event of a conflict between any other agreement or agreements (including, without limitation, the Subscription Agreements) and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail solely as between or among the parties to this Agreement.

5.8 Term. This Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (a) the tenth anniversary of the date of this Agreement or (b) with respect to any Holder, on the date that such Holder no longer holds any Registrable Securities. The provisions of Section 3.5 and Article IV shall survive any termination.

5.9 Holder Information. Each Holder agrees, if requested in writing, to represent to the Company the total number of Registrable Securities held by such Holder in order for the Company to make determinations hereunder.

5.10 Additional Holders; Joinder. In addition to persons or entities who may become Holders pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof, subject to the prior written consent of each of (i) the Sponsor Managers (until the termination of the Sponsor Consent Period) and (ii) each Hippo Holder (so long as such Hippo Holder and its affiliates hold, in the aggregate, at least five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company), the Company may make any person or entity who acquires Common Stock or rights to acquire Common Stock after the date hereof a party to this Agreement (each such person or entity, an “Additional Holder”) by obtaining an executed joinder to this Agreement from such Additional Holder in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (a “Joinder”). Such Joinder shall specify the rights and obligations of the applicable Additional Holder under this Agreement. Upon the execution and delivery and subject to the terms of a Joinder by such Additional Holder, the Common Stock of the Company then owned, or underlying any rights then owned, by such Additional Holder (the “Additional Holder Common Stock”) shall be Registrable Securities to the extent provided herein and therein and such Additional Holder shall be a Holder under this Agreement with respect to such Additional Holder Common Stock.

5.11 Severability. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

5.12 Entire Agreement; Restatement. This Agreement constitutes the full and entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter. Upon the Closing, the Original RRA shall no longer be of any force or effect.

HIPPO HOLDINGS INC.

2021 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

ARTICLE 1

PURPOSE

The Plan’s purpose is to assist employees of the Company and its Designated Subsidiaries in acquiring a stock ownership interest in the Company, and to help such employees provide for their future security and to encourage them to remain in the employment of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

The Plan consists of two components: the Section 423 Component and the Non-Section 423 Component. The Section 423 Component is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code and shall be administered, interpreted and construed in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code. In addition, this Plan authorizes the grant of Options under the Non-Section 423 Component, which need not qualify as Options granted pursuant to an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code; such Options granted under the Non-Section 423 Component shall be granted pursuant to separate Offerings containing such sub-plans, appendices, rules or procedures as may be adopted by the Administrator and designed to achieve tax, securities laws or other objectives for Eligible Employees and the Designated Subsidiaries in locations outside of the United States. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Non-Section 423 Component will operate and be administered in the same manner as the Section 423 Component. Offerings intended to be made under the Non-Section 423 Component will be designated as such by the Administrator at or prior to the time of such Offering.

For purposes of this Plan, the Administrator may designate separate Offerings under the Plan, the terms of which need not be identical, in which Eligible Employees will participate, even if the dates of the applicable Offering Period(s) in each such Offering is identical, provided that the terms of participation are the same within each separate Offering under the Section 423 Component as determined under Section 423 of the Code. Solely by way of example and without limiting the foregoing, the Company could, but shall not be required to, provide for simultaneous Offerings under the Section 423 Component and the Non-Section 423 Component of the Plan.

ARTICLE 2

(a) Any Eligible Employee who is employed by the Company or a Designated Subsidiary on a given Enrollment Date for an Offering Period shall be eligible to participate in the Plan during such Offering Period, subject to the requirements of Articles 4 and 5 hereof, and, for the Section 423 Component, the limitations imposed by Section 423(b) of the Code.


(b) No Eligible Employee shall be granted an Option under the Section 423 Component which permits the Participant’s rights to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Plan, and to purchase stock under all other employee stock purchase plans of the Company, any Parent or any Subsidiary subject to Section 423 of the Code, to accrue at a rate which exceeds $25,000 of fair market value of such stock (determined at the time such Option is granted) for each calendar year in which such Option is outstanding at any time. The limitation under this Section 3.1(b) shall be applied in accordance with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code.

3.2 Election to Participate; Payroll Deductions

(a) Except as provided in Sections 3.2(e) and 3.3 hereof, an Eligible Employee may become a Participant in the Plan only by means of payroll deduction. Each individual who is an Eligible Employee as of an Offering Period’s Enrollment Date may elect to participate in such Offering Period and the Plan by delivering to the Company a payroll deduction authorization no later than the period of time prior to the applicable Enrollment Date that is determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion.

(b) Subject to Section 3.1(b) hereof and except as may otherwise be determined by the Administrator, payroll deductions (i) shall equal at least 1% of the Participant’s Compensation as of each Payday of the Offering Period following the Enrollment Date, but not more than 15% of the Participant’s Compensation as of each Payday of the Offering Period following the Enrollment Date; and (ii) may be expressed either as (A) a whole number percentage, or (B) a fixed dollar amount. Amounts deducted from a Participant’s Compensation with respect to an Offering Period pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall be deducted each Payday through payroll deduction and credited to the Participant’s Plan Account; provided that for the first Offering Period, payroll deductions shall not begin until such date determined by the Board or Committee, in its sole discretion.

(c) Following at least one payroll deduction, a Participant may decrease (to as low as zero) the amount deducted from such Participant’s Compensation only once during an Offering Period upon ten calendar days’ prior written notice to the Company. A Participant may not increase the amount deducted from such Participant’s Compensation during an Offering Period.

(d) Upon the completion of an Offering Period, each Participant in such Offering Period shall automatically participate in the immediately following Offering Period at the same payroll deduction percentage or fixed amount as in effect at the termination of such Offering Period, unless such Participant delivers to the Company a different election with respect to the successive Offering Period in accordance with Section 3.2(a) hereof, or unless such Participant becomes ineligible for participation in the Plan.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, in non-U.S. jurisdictions where participation in the Plan through payroll deductions is prohibited, the Administrator may provide that an Eligible Employee may elect to participate through contributions to the Participant’s account under the Plan in a form acceptable to the Administrator in lieu of or in addition to payroll deductions; provided, however, that, for any Offering under the Section 423 Component, the Administrator must determine that any alternative method of contribution is applied on an equal and uniform basis to all Eligible Employees in the Offering.

3.3 Leave of Absence. During leaves of absence approved by the Company meeting the requirements of Treas. Reg. § 1.421-1(h)(2), a Participant may continue participation in the Plan by making cash payments to the Company on the Participant’s normal payday equal to the Participant’s authorized payroll deduction.

ARTICLE 4

PURCHASE OF SHARES

4.1 Grant of Option. The Company may make one or more Offerings under the Plan, which may be successive or overlapping with one another, until the earlier of: (i) the date on which the shares of Common Stock available under the Plan have been sold or (ii) the date on which the Plan is suspended or terminates. The Administrator shall designate the terms and conditions of each Offering in writing, including without limitation, the Offering Period and


the Purchase Periods. Each Participant shall be granted an Option with respect to an Offering Period on the applicable Grant Date. Subject to the limitations of Section 3.1(b) hereof, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to a Participant’s Option shall be determined by dividing (a) such Participant’s payroll deductions accumulated prior to an Exercise Date and retained in the Participant’s Plan Account on such Exercise Date by (b) the applicable Option Price; provided that in no event shall a Participant be permitted to purchase during each Offering Period more than 100,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof). The Administrator may, for future Offering Periods, increase or decrease, in its absolute discretion, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that a Participant may purchase during such future Offering Periods. Each Option shall expire on the last Exercise Date for the applicable Offering Period immediately after the automatic exercise of the Option in accordance with Section 4.3 hereof, unless such Option terminates earlier in accordance with Article 6 hereof.

4.2 Option Price. The “Option Price” per share of Common Stock to be paid by a Participant upon exercise of the Participant’s Option on an Exercise Date for an Offering Period shall equal 85% of the lesser of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on (a) the applicable Grant Date and (b) the applicable Exercise Date, or such other price designated by the Administrator; provided that in no event shall the Option Price per share of Common Stock be less than the par value per share of the Common Stock; provided further, that no Option Price shall be designated by the Administrator that would cause the Section 423 Component to fail to meet the requirements under Section 423(b) of the Code.

4.3 Purchase of Shares.

(a) On each Exercise Date for an Offering Period, each Participant shall automatically and without any action on such Participant’s part be deemed to have exercised the Participant’s Option to purchase at the applicable per share Option Price the largest number of whole shares of Common Stock which can be purchased with the amount in the Participant’s Plan Account. Any balance less than the per share Option Price that is remaining in the Participant’s Plan Account (after exercise of such Participant’s Option) as of the Exercise Date shall be carried forward to the next Purchase Period or Offering Period, unless the Participant has elected to withdraw from the Plan pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof or, pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof, such Participant has ceased to be an Eligible Employee. Any balance not carried forward to the next Purchase Period or Offering Period in accordance with the prior sentence shall be promptly refunded to the applicable Participant. In no event shall an amount greater than or equal to the per share Option Price as of an Exercise Date be carried forward to the next Purchase Period or Offering Period.

(b) As soon as practicable following each Exercise Date, the number of shares of Common Stock purchased by such Participant pursuant to Section 4.3(a) hereof shall be delivered (either in share certificate or book entry form), in the Company’s sole discretion, to either (i) the Participant or (ii) an account established in the Participant’s name at a stock brokerage or other financial services firm designated by the Company. If the Company is required to obtain from any commission or agency authority to issue any such shares of Common Stock, the Company shall seek to obtain such authority. Inability of the Company to obtain from any such commission or agency authority which counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance of any such shares shall relieve the Company from liability to any Participant except to refund to the Participant such Participant’s Plan Account balance, without interest thereon.

4.4 Automatic Termination of Offering Period. If the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on any Exercise Date (except the final scheduled Exercise Date of any Offering Period) is lower than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Grant Date for an Offering Period, then such Offering Period shall terminate on such Exercise Date after the automatic exercise of the Option in accordance with Section 4.3 hereof, and each Participant shall automatically be enrolled in the Offering Period that commences immediately following such Exercise Date and such Participant’s payroll deduction authorization shall remain in effect for such Offering Period.

4.5 Transferability of Rights. An Option granted under the Plan shall not be transferable, other than by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant. No option or interest or right to the Option shall be available to pay off any debts, contracts or engagements of the Participant or the Participant’s successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempt at disposition of the Option shall have no effect.


ARTICLE 5

PROVISIONS RELATING TO COMMON STOCK

5.1 Common Stock Reserved. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.2 hereof, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that shall be made available for sale under the Plan shall be the sum of (a) 13,000,000 shares and (b) an annual increase on the first day of each year beginning in 2022 and ending in 2031 equal to the lesser of (i) one percent of the shares outstanding (on an as converted basis) on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (ii) such number of shares as may be determined by the Board; provided, however, no more than 97,500,000 shares may be issued under the Plan. Shares made available for sale under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares of Common Stock, or reacquired shares reserved for issuance under the Plan.

5.2 Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Liquidation, Merger or Asset Sale.

(a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but not yet placed under Option, as well as the price per share and the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each Option under the Plan which has not yet been exercised shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Administrator, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option.

(b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Offering Periods then in progress shall be shortened by setting a new Exercise Date (the “New Exercise Date”), and shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed dissolution or liquidation, unless provided otherwise by the Administrator. The New Exercise Date shall be before the date of the Company’s proposed dissolution or liquidation. The Administrator shall notify each Participant in writing prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the Participant’s Option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the Participant’s Option shall be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the Participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 6.1 hereof or the Participant has ceased to be an Eligible Employee as provided in Section 6.2 hereof.

(c) Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a proposed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the merger of the Company with or into another corporation, each outstanding Option shall be assumed or an equivalent Option substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. If the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Option, any Offering Periods then in progress shall be shortened by setting a New Exercise Date and any Offering Periods then in progress shall end on the New Exercise Date. The New Exercise Date shall be before the date of the Company’s proposed sale or merger. The Administrator shall notify each Participant in writing prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the Participant’s Option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the Participant’s Option shall be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the Participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 6.1 hereof or the Participant has ceased to be an Eligible Employee as provided in Section 6.2 hereof.

5.3 Insufficient Shares. If the Administrator determines that, on a given Exercise Date, the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which Options are to be exercised may exceed the number of shares of Common Stock remaining available for sale under the Plan on such Exercise Date, the Administrator shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares of Common Stock available for issuance on such Exercise Date in as uniform a manner as


shall be practicable and as it shall determine in its sole discretion to be equitable among all Participants exercising Options to purchase Common Stock on such Exercise Date, and unless additional shares are authorized for issuance under the Plan, no further Offering Periods shall take place and the Plan shall terminate pursuant to Section 7.5 hereof. If an Offering Period is so terminated, then the balance of the amount credited to the Participant’s Plan Account which has not been applied to the purchase of shares of Common Stock shall be paid to such Participant in one lump sum in cash within 30 days after such Exercise Date, without any interest thereon.

5.4 Rights as Stockholders. With respect to shares of Common Stock subject to an Option, a Participant shall not be deemed to be a stockholder of the Company and shall not have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder. A Participant shall have the rights and privileges of a stockholder of the Company when, but not until, shares of Common Stock have been deposited in the designated brokerage account following exercise of the Participant’s Option.

ARTICLE 6

TERMINATION OF PARTICIPATION

6.1 Cessation of Contributions; Voluntary Withdrawal.

(a) A Participant may cease payroll deductions during an Offering Period and elect to withdraw from the Plan by delivering written notice of such election to the Company in such form and at such time prior to the Exercise Date for such Offering Period as may be established by the Administrator (a “Withdrawal Election”). A Participant electing to withdraw from the Plan may elect to either (i) withdraw all of the funds then credited to the Participant’s Plan Account as of the date on which the Withdrawal Election is received by the Company, in which case amounts credited to such Plan Account shall be returned to the Participant in one lump-sum payment in cash within 30 days after such election is received by the Company, without any interest thereon, and the Participant shall cease to participate in the Plan and the Participant’s Option for such Offering Period shall terminate; or (ii) exercise the Option for the maximum number of whole shares of Common Stock on the applicable Exercise Date with any remaining Plan Account balance returned to the Participant in one lump-sum payment in cash within 30 days after such Exercise Date, without any interest thereon, and after such exercise cease to participate in the Plan. Upon receipt of a Withdrawal Election, the Participant’s payroll deduction authorization and the Participant’s Option shall terminate.

(b) A Participant’s withdrawal from the Plan shall not have any effect upon the Participant’s eligibility to participate in any similar plan which may hereafter be adopted by the Company or in succeeding Offering Periods which commence after the termination of the Offering Period from which the Participant withdraws.

(c) A Participant who ceases contributions to the Plan during any Offering Period shall not be permitted to resume contributions to the Plan during that Offering Period.

6.2 Termination of Eligibility. Upon a Participant’s ceasing to be an Eligible Employee, for any reason, such Participant’s Option for the applicable Offering Period shall automatically terminate, the Participant shall be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan, and such Participant’s Plan Account shall be paid to such Participant or, in the case of the Participant’s death, to the person or persons entitled thereto pursuant to applicable law, within 30 days after such cessation of being an Eligible Employee, without any interest thereon. If a Participant transfers employment from the Company or any Designated Subsidiary participating in the Section 423 Component to any Designated Subsidiary participating in the Non-Section 423 Component, such transfer shall not be treated as a termination of employment, but the Participant shall immediately cease to participate in the Section 423 Component; however, any contributions made for the Offering Period in which such transfer occurs shall be transferred to the Non-Section 423 Component, and such Participant shall immediately join the then-current Offering under the Non-Section 423 Component upon the same terms and conditions in effect for the Participant’s participation in the Section 423 Component, except for such modifications otherwise applicable for Participants in such Offering. A Participant who transfers employment from any Designated Subsidiary participating in the Non-Section 423 Component to the Company or any Designated Subsidiary participating in the Section 423 Component shall not be treated as terminating the Participant’s employment and shall remain a Participant in the Non-Section 423 Component until the earlier of (i) the end of the current Offering Period under the Non-Section 423 Component, or (ii) the Enrollment Date of the first Offering Period in which the Participant is eligible to participate following such transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may establish different rules to govern transfers of employment between companies participating in the Section 423 Component and the Non-Section 423 Component, consistent with the applicable requirements of Section 423 of the Code.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator is specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures regarding handling of participation elections, payroll deductions, payment of interest, conversion of local currency, payroll tax, withholding procedures and handling of stock certificates which vary with local requirements. In its absolute discretion, the Board may at any time and from time to time exercise any and all rights and duties of the Administrator under the Plan.

(d) The Administrator may adopt sub-plans applicable to particular Designated Subsidiaries or locations, which sub-plans may be designed to be outside the scope of Section 423 of the Code.

7.2 Designation of Subsidiary Corporations. The Board or Administrator shall designate from time to time the Subsidiaries that shall constitute Designated Subsidiaries, and determine whether such Designated Subsidiaries shall participate in the Section 423 Component or Non-Section 423 Component.

Statements of Plan Accounts shall be given to Participants at least annually, which statements shall set forth the amounts of payroll deductions, the Option Price, the number of shares purchased and the remaining cash balance, if any.

7.4 No Right to Employment. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to give any person (including any Participant) the right to remain in the employ of the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary or to affect the right of the Company, any Parent or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any person (including any Participant) at any time, with or without cause, which right is expressly reserved.

(i) altering the Option Price for any Offering Period including an Offering Period underway at the time of the change in Option Price;

(ii) shortening any Offering Period so that the Offering Period ends on a new Exercise Date, including an Offering Period underway at the time of the Administrator action; and

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

7.10 Notice of Disposition of Shares. Each Participant shall give the Company prompt notice of any disposition or other transfer of any shares of Common Stock, acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option granted under the Section 423 Component, if such disposition or transfer is made (a) within two years after the applicable Grant Date or (b) within one year after the transfer of such shares of Common Stock to such Participant upon exercise of such Option. The Company may direct that any certificates evidencing shares acquired pursuant to the Plan refer to such requirement.

7.11 Tax Withholding. The Company or any Parent or any Subsidiary shall be entitled to require payment in cash or deduction from other compensation payable to each Participant of any sums required by federal, state or local tax law to be withheld with respect to any purchase of shares of Common Stock under the Plan or any sale of such shares.

7.14 Conditions To Issuance of Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates or make any book entries evidencing shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of an Option by a Participant, unless and until the Board or the Committee has determined, with advice of counsel, that the issuance of such shares of Common Stock is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the shares of Common Stock are listed or traded, and the shares of Common Stock are covered by an effective registration statement or applicable exemption from registration. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Board or the Committee may require that a Participant make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and representations as the Board or the Committee, in its discretion, deems advisable in order to comply with any such laws, regulations, or requirements.

(b) All certificates for shares of Common Stock delivered pursuant to the Plan and all shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to book entry procedures are subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to comply with federal, state, or foreign securities or other laws, rules and regulations and the rules of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the shares of Common Stock are listed, quoted, or traded. The Committee may place legends on any certificate or book entry evidencing shares of Common Stock to reference restrictions applicable to the shares of Common Stock.

(c) The Committee shall have the right to require any Participant to comply with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement, distribution or exercise of any Option, including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the sole discretion of the Committee.


(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, unless otherwise determined by the Committee or required by any applicable law, rule or regulation, the Company may, in lieu of delivering to any Participant certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock issued in connection with any Option, record the issuance of shares of Common Stock in the books of the Company (or, as applicable, its transfer agent or stock plan administrator).

7.15 Equal Rights and Privileges. All Eligible Employees of the Company (or of any Designated Subsidiary) granted Options pursuant to an Offering under the Section 423 Component shall have equal rights and privileges under this Plan to the extent required under Section 423 of the Code so that the Section 423 Component qualifies as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 of the Code. Any provision of the Section 423 Component that is inconsistent with Section 423 of the Code shall, without further act or amendment by the Company or the Board, be reformed to comply with the equal rights and privileges requirement of Section 423 of the Code. Eligible Employees participating in the Non-Section 423 Component need not have the same rights and privileges as Eligible Employees participating in the Section 423 Component.

7.16 Rules Particular to Specific Countries. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the terms and conditions of the Plan with respect to Participants who are tax residents of a particular non-U.S. country or who are foreign nationals or employed in non-U.S. jurisdictions may be subject to an addendum to the Plan in the form of an appendix or sub-plan (which appendix or sub-plan may be designed to govern Offerings under the Section 423 Component or the Non-Section 423 Component, as determined by the Administrator). To the extent that the terms and conditions set forth in an appendix or sub-plan conflict with any provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the appendix or sub-plan shall govern. The adoption of any such appendix or sub-plan shall be pursuant to Section 7.1 above. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrator is specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures, with respect to Participants who are foreign nationals or employed in non-U.S. jurisdictions, regarding the exclusion of particular Subsidiaries from participation in the Plan, eligibility to participate, the definition of Compensation, handling of payroll deductions or other contributions by Participants, payment of interest, conversion of local currency, data privacy security, payroll tax, withholding procedures, establishment of bank or trust accounts to hold payroll deductions or contributions.

7.17 Section 409A. The Section 423 Component of the Plan and the Options granted pursuant to Offerings thereunder are intended to be exempt from the application of Section 409A. Neither the Non-Section 423 Component nor any Option granted pursuant to an Offering thereunder is intended to constitute or provide for “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if the Administrator determines that any Option granted under the Plan may be or become subject to Section 409A or that any provision of the Plan may cause an Option granted under the Plan to be or become subject to Section 409A, the Administrator may adopt such amendments to the Plan and/or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions as the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate to avoid the imposition of taxes under Section 409A, either through compliance with the requirements of Section 409A or with an available exemption therefrom.

For purposes of this Section 2.6, no act

At all times, the delegatee appointed under this Section 4.2 shall serve in such capacity at the pleasure of the Board or the Committee, as applicable, and the Board or the Committee may abolish any committee at any time and re-vest in itself any previously delegated authority. Further, regardless of any delegation, the Board or a Committee may, in its discretion, exercise any and all rights and duties as the Administrator under the Plan delegated thereby, except with respect to Awards that are required to be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee under the rules of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Shares are listed, quoted or traded.

ARTICLE V.

STOCK AVAILABLE FOR AWARDS

5.1 Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment under Article IX and the terms of this Article V, Awards may be made under the Plan covering up to the Overall Share Limit. As of the Effective Date, the Company will cease granting awards under the Prior Plan; however, Prior Plan Awards will remain subject to the terms of the Prior Plan. Shares issued or delivered under the Plan may consist of authorized but unissued Shares, Shares purchased on the open market or treasury Shares.


5.2 Share Recycling.

(a) If all or any part of an Award or Prior Plan Award expires, lapses or is terminated, converted into an award in respect of shares of another entity in connection with a spin-off or other similar event, exchanged or settled for cash, surrendered, repurchased, canceled without having been fully exercised or forfeited, in any case, in a manner that results in the Company acquiring Shares covered by the Award or Prior Plan Award at a price not greater than the price (as adjusted to reflect any Equity Restructuring) paid by the Participant for such Shares or not issuing any Shares covered by the Award or Prior Plan Award, the unused Shares covered by the Award or Prior Plan Award will, as applicable, become or again be available for Awards under the Plan. The payment of Dividend Equivalents in cash in conjunction with any outstanding Awards or Prior Plan Awards shall not count against the Overall Share Limit.

(b) In addition, the following Shares shall be available for future grants of Awards: (i) Shares tendered by a Participant or withheld by the Company in payment of the exercise price of an Option or any stock option granted under the Prior Plan; (ii) Shares tendered by the Participant or withheld by the Company to satisfy any tax withholding obligation with respect to an Award or any Prior Plan Award; and (iii) Shares subject to a Stock Appreciation Right that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of the Stock Appreciation Right on exercise thereof. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.2(b), no Shares may again be optioned, granted or awarded pursuant to an Incentive Stock Option if such action would cause such Option to fail to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code.

5.3 Incentive Stock Option Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no more than 503,750,000 Shares (as adjusted to reflect any Equity Restructuring) may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options.

5.4 Substitute Awards. In connection with an entity’s merger or consolidation with the Company or any Subsidiary or the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s acquisition of an entity’s property or stock, the Administrator may grant Awards in substitution for any options or other stock or stock-based awards granted before such merger or consolidation by such entity or its affiliate. Substitute Awards may be granted on such terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate, notwithstanding limitations on Awards in the Plan. Substitute Awards will not count against the Overall Share Limit (nor shall Shares subject to a Substitute Award be added to the Shares available for Awards under the Plan as provided above), except that Shares acquired by exercise of substitute Incentive Stock Options will count against the maximum number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options under the Plan. Additionally, in the event that a company acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary or with which the Company or any Subsidiary combines has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as appropriately adjusted to reflect the transaction) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the Shares authorized for grant under the Plan (and Shares subject to such Awards may again become available for Awards under the Plan as provided under Section 5.2 above); provided that Awards using such available shares shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were not Employees, Consultants, or Directors prior to such acquisition or combination.

5.5 Non-Employee Director Award Limit. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Plan or in any policy of the Company regarding non-employee director compensation, the sum of the grant date fair value (determined as of the grant date in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, or any successor thereto) of all equity-based Awards and the maximum amount that may become payable pursuant to all cash-based Awards that may be granted to a Service Provider as compensation for services as a Non-Employee Director during any calendar year shall not exceed $1,000,000 for such Service Provider’s first year of service as a Non-Employee Director and $750,000 for each year thereafter.


ARTICLE VI.

STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

6.1 General. The Administrator may grant Options or Stock Appreciation Rights to one or more Service Providers, subject to such terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Administrator shall determine. The Administrator will determine the number of Shares covered by each Option and Stock Appreciation Right, the exercise price of each Option and Stock Appreciation Right and the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of each Option and Stock Appreciation Right. A Stock Appreciation Right will entitle the Participant (or other person entitled to exercise the Stock Appreciation Right) to receive from the Company upon exercise of the exercisable portion of the Stock Appreciation Right an amount determined by multiplying the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise over the exercise price per Share of the Stock Appreciation Right by the number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised, subject to any limitations of the Plan or that the Administrator may impose and payable in cash, Shares valued at Fair Market Value on the date of exercise or a combination of the two as the Administrator may determine or provide in the Award Agreement.

6.2 Exercise Price. The Administrator will establish each Option’s and Stock Appreciation Right’s exercise price and specify the exercise price in the Award Agreement. Subject to Section 6.6, the exercise price will not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the grant date of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right that is a Substitute Award, the exercise price per share of the Shares subject to such Option or Stock Appreciation Right, as applicable, may be less than the Fair Market Value per share on the date of grant; provided that the exercise price of any Substitute Award shall be determined in accordance with the applicable requirements of Sections 424 and 409A of the Code.

6.3 Duration of Options. Subject to Section 6.6, each Option or Stock Appreciation Right will be exercisable at such times and as specified in the Award Agreement, provided that the term of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right will not exceed ten years; provided, further, that, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator or specified in the Award Agreement, (a) no portion of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right which is unexercisable at a Participant’s Termination of Service shall thereafter become exercisable and (b) the portion of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right that is unexercisable at a Participant’s Termination of Service shall automatically expire on the date of such Termination of Service. In addition, in no event shall an Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted to an Employee who is a non-exempt employee for purposes of overtime pay under the U.S. Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 be exercisable earlier than six months after its date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant, prior to the end of the term of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, commits an act of Cause (as determined by the Administrator), or violates any non-competition, non-solicitation or confidentiality provisions of any employment contract, confidentiality and nondisclosure agreement or other agreement between the Participant and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the right to exercise the Option or Stock Appreciation Right, as applicable, may be terminated by the Company and the Company may suspend the Participant’s right to exercise the Option or Stock Appreciation Right when it reasonably believes that the Participant may have participated in any such act or violation.

6.4 Exercise. Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised by delivering to the Company (or such other person or entity designated by the Administrator) a notice of exercise, in a form and manner the Company approves (which may be written, electronic or telephonic and may contain representations and warranties deemed advisable by the Administrator), signed or authenticated by the person authorized to exercise the Option or Stock Appreciation Right, together with, as applicable, (a) payment in full of the exercise price for the number of Shares for which the Option is exercised in a manner specified in Section 6.5 and (b) satisfaction in full of any withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items in a manner specified in Section 10.5. The Administrator may, in its discretion, limit exercise with respect to fractional Shares and require that any partial exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right be with respect to a minimum number of Shares.


6.5 Payment Upon Exercise. The Administrator shall determine the methods by which payment of the exercise price of an Option shall be made, including, without limitation:

(a) Cash, check or wire transfer of immediately available funds; provided that the Company may limit the use of one of the foregoing methods if one or more of the methods below is permitted;

(b) If there is a public market for Shares at the time of exercise, unless the Company otherwise determines, (A) delivery (including electronically or telephonically to the extent permitted by the Company) of a notice that the Participant has placed a market sell order with a broker acceptable to the Company with respect to Shares then issuable upon exercise of the Option and that the broker has been directed to deliver promptly to the Company funds sufficient to pay the exercise price, or (B) the Participant’s delivery to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional instructions to a broker acceptable to the Company to deliver promptly to the Company an amount sufficient to pay the exercise price by cash, wire transfer of immediately available funds or check; provided that such amount is paid to the Company at such time as may be required by the Company;

(c) To the extent permitted by the Administrator, delivery (either by actual delivery or attestation) of Shares owned by the Participant valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of delivery;

(d) To the extent permitted by the Administrator, surrendering Shares then issuable upon the Option’s exercise valued at their Fair Market Value on the exercise date;

(e) To the extent permitted by the Administrator, delivery of a promissory note or any other lawful consideration; or

(f) To the extent permitted by the Administrator, any combination of the above payment forms.

6.6 Additional Terms of Incentive Stock Options. The Administrator may grant Incentive Stock Options only to employees of the Company, any of its present or future parent or subsidiary corporations, as defined in Sections 424(e) or (f) of the Code, respectively, and any other entities the employees of which are eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options under the Code. If an Incentive Stock Option is granted to a Greater Than 10% Stockholder, the exercise price will not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value on the Option’s grant date, and the term of the Option will not exceed five years. All Incentive Stock Options (and Award Agreements related thereto) will be subject to and construed consistently with Section 422 of the Code. By accepting an Incentive Stock Option, the Participant agrees to give prompt notice to the Company of dispositions or other transfers (other than in connection with a Change in Control) of Shares acquired under the Option made within (a) two years from the grant date of the Option or (b) one year after the transfer of such Shares to the Participant, specifying the date of the disposition or other transfer and the amount the Participant realized, in cash, other property, assumption of indebtedness or other consideration, in such disposition or other transfer. Neither the Company nor the Administrator will be liable to a Participant, or any other party, if an Incentive Stock Option fails or ceases to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code. Any Incentive Stock Option or portion thereof that fails to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code for any reason, including becoming exercisable with respect to Shares having a fair market value exceeding the $100,000 limitation under Treasury Regulation Section 1.422-4, will be a Nonqualified Stock Option.

ARTICLE VII.

RESTRICTED STOCK; RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

7.1 General. The Administrator may grant Restricted Stock, or the right to purchase Restricted Stock, to any Service Provider, subject to forfeiture or the Company’s right to repurchase all or part of such shares at their issue price or other stated or formula price from the Participant if conditions the Administrator specifies in the Award Agreement are not satisfied before the end of the applicable restriction period or periods that the Administrator establishes for such Award. In addition, the Administrator may grant Restricted Stock Units, which may be subject to vesting and forfeiture conditions during the applicable restriction period or periods, as set forth in an Award Agreement, to Service Providers. The Administrator shall establish the purchase price, if any, and form of payment


for Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units; provided, however, that if a purchase price is charged, such purchase price shall be no less than the par value, if any, of the Shares to be purchased, unless otherwise permitted by Applicable Law. In all cases, legal consideration shall be required for each issuance of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units to the extent required by Applicable Law. The Award Agreement for each Award of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall set forth the terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Administrator shall determine.

7.2 Restricted Stock.

(a) Stockholder Rights. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, each Participant holding shares of Restricted Stock will be entitled to all the rights of a stockholder with respect to such Shares, subject to the restrictions in the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions paid or made with respect to the Shares to the extent such dividends and other distributions have a record date that is on or after the date on which such Participant becomes the record holder of such Shares; provided, however, that with respect to a share of Restricted Stock subject to restrictions or vesting conditions, except in connection with a spin-off or other similar event as otherwise permitted under Section 9.2, dividends which are paid to Company stockholders prior to the removal of restrictions and satisfaction of vesting conditions shall only be paid to the Participant to the extent that the restrictions are subsequently removed and the vesting conditions are subsequently satisfied and the share of Restricted Stock vests.

(b) Stock Certificates. The Company may require that the Participant deposit in escrow with the Company (or its designee) any stock certificates issued in respect of shares of Restricted Stock, together with a stock power endorsed in blank.

(c) Section 83(b) Election. If a Participant makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed with respect to the Restricted Stock as of the date of transfer of the Restricted Stock rather than as of the date or dates upon which such Participant would otherwise be taxable under Section 83(a) of the Code, such Participant shall be required to deliver a copy of such election to the Company promptly after filing such election with the Internal Revenue Service along with proof of the timely filing thereof.

7.3 Restricted Stock Units. The Administrator may provide that settlement of Restricted Stock Units will occur upon or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Restricted Stock Units vest or will instead be deferred, on a mandatory basis or at the Participant’s election, subject to compliance with Applicable Law. A Participant holding Restricted Stock Units will have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company until delivery of Shares, cash or other securities or property is made as specified in the applicable Award Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII.

OTHER TYPES OF AWARDS

8.1 General. The Administrator may grant Performance Stock Unit awards, Performance Bonus Awards, Dividend Equivalents or Other Stock or Cash Based Awards, to one or more Service Providers, in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Administrator shall determine.

8.2 Performance Stock Unit Awards. Each Performance Stock Unit award shall be denominated in a number of Shares or in unit equivalents of Shares or units of value (including a dollar value of Shares) and may be linked to any one or more of performance or other specific criteria, including service to the Company or Subsidiaries, determined to be appropriate by the Administrator, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by the Administrator. In making such determinations, the Administrator may consider (among such other factors as it deems relevant in light of the specific type of award) the contributions, responsibilities and other compensation of the particular Participant.

8.3 Performance Bonus Awards. Each right to receive a bonus granted under this Section 8.3 shall be denominated in the form of cash (but may be payable in cash, stock or a combination thereof) (a “Performance Bonus Award”) and shall be payable upon the attainment of performance goals that are established by the Administrator and relate to one or more of performance or other specific criteria, including service to the Company or Subsidiaries, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by the Administrator.


8.4 Dividend Equivalents. If the Administrator provides, an Award (other than an Option or Stock Appreciation Right) may provide a Participant with the right to receive Dividend Equivalents. Dividend Equivalents may be paid currently or credited to an account for the Participant, settled in cash or Shares and subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Award with respect to which the Dividend Equivalents are granted and subject to other terms and conditions as set forth in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Dividend Equivalents with respect to an Award subject to vesting shall either (i) to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, not be paid or credited or (ii) be accumulated and subject to vesting to the same extent as the related Award. All such Dividend Equivalents shall be paid at such time as the Administrator shall specify in the applicable Award Agreement.

8.5 Other Stock or Cash Based Awards. Other Stock or Cash Based Awards may be granted to Participants, including Awards entitling Participants to receive cash or Shares to be delivered in the future and annual or other periodic or long-term cash bonus awards (whether based on specified performance criteria or otherwise), in each case subject to any conditions and limitations in the Plan. Such Other Stock or Cash Based Awards will also be available as a payment form in the settlement of other Awards, as standalone payments and as payment in lieu of compensation to which a Participant is otherwise entitled, subject to compliance with Section 409A. Other Stock or Cash Based Awards may be paid in Shares, cash or other property, as the Administrator determines. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Administrator will determine the terms and conditions of each Other Stock or Cash Based Award, including any purchase price, performance goal(s), transfer restrictions, and vesting conditions, which will be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. Except in connection with a spin-off or other similar event as otherwise permitted under Article IX, dividends that are paid prior to vesting of any Other Stock or Cash Based Award shall only be paid to the applicable Participant to the extent that the vesting conditions are subsequently satisfied and the Other Stock or Cash Based Award vests.

ARTICLE IX.

ADJUSTMENTS FOR CHANGES IN COMMON STOCK

AND CERTAIN OTHER EVENTS

9.1 Equity Restructuring(a). In connection with any Equity Restructuring, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article IX, the Administrator will equitably adjust the terms of the Plan and each outstanding Award as it deems appropriate to reflect the Equity Restructuring, which may include (i) adjusting the number and type of securities subject to each outstanding Award or with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Article V hereof on the maximum number and kind of shares that may be issued); (ii) adjusting the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise price), and the performance goals or other criteria included in, outstanding Awards; and (iii) granting new Awards or making cash payments to Participants. The adjustments provided under this Section 9.1 will be nondiscretionary and final and binding on all interested parties, including the affected Participant and the Company; provided that the Administrator will determine whether an adjustment is equitable.

9.2 Corporate Transactions. In the event of any extraordinary dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, other securities, or other property), reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin off, combination, amalgamation, repurchase, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, or sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or sale or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, Change in Control, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock or other securities of the Company, other similar corporate transaction or event, other unusual or nonrecurring transaction or event affecting the Company or its financial statements or any change in any Applicable Law or accounting principles, the Administrator, on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, either by the terms of the Award or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event (except that action to give effect to a change in Applicable Law or accounting principles may be made within a reasonable period of time after such change) and either automatically or upon the Participant’s request, is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the Administrator determines that such action is appropriate in order to (x) prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended by the Company to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any Award granted or issued under the Plan, (y) to facilitate such transaction or event or (z) give effect to such changes in Applicable Law or accounting principles:


(a) To provide for the cancellation of any such Award in exchange for either an amount of cash or other property with a value equal to the amount that could have been obtained upon the exercise or settlement of the vested portion of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights under the vested portion of such Award, as applicable; provided that, if the amount that could have been obtained upon the exercise or settlement of the vested portion of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, in any case, is equal to or less than zero, then the Award may be terminated without payment;

(b) To provide that such Award shall vest and, to the extent applicable, be exercisable as to all Shares (or other property) covered thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the provisions of such Award;

(c) To provide that such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation or entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation or entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and applicable exercise or purchase price, in all cases, as determined by the Administrator;

(d) To make adjustments in the number and type of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards or with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Article V hereof on the maximum number and kind of shares which may be issued) or in the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise price), and the criteria included in, outstanding Awards;

(e) To replace such Award with other rights or property selected by the Administrator; or

(f) To provide that the Award will terminate and cannot vest, be exercised or become payable after the applicable event; provided that, in each case, no such adjustment may be made if or to the extent that it would cause an outstanding Award to cease to be exempt from, or to fail to comply with, Section 409A.

9.3 Change in Control.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in the event of a Change in Control, unless the Administrator elects to (i) terminate an Award in exchange for cash, rights or property, or (ii) cause an Award to become fully exercisable and no longer subject to any forfeiture restrictions prior to the consummation of a Change in Control, pursuant to Section 9.2, (A) such Award (other than any portion subject to performance-based vesting) shall continue in effect or be assumed or an equivalent Award substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation and (B) the portion of such Award subject to performance-based vesting shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Award Agreement and, in the absence of applicable terms and conditions, the Administrator’s discretion.

(b) In the event that the successor corporation in a Change in Control refuses to assume or substitute for an Award (other than any portion subject to performance-based vesting), the Administrator shall cause such Award to become fully vested and, if applicable, exercisable immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction and all forfeiture restrictions on such Award to lapse and, to the extent unexercised upon the consummation of such transaction, to terminate in exchange for cash, rights or other property. The Administrator shall notify the Participant of any Award that becomes exercisable pursuant to the preceding sentence that such Award shall be fully exercisable for a period of 15 days from the date of such notice, contingent upon the occurrence of the Change in Control, or that such Award shall be settled for an amount of cash or securities equal to the in-the-money spread value (if any) of such Award, and such Award shall terminate upon the consummation of the Change in Control in accordance with the preceding sentence.


(c) For the purposes of this Section 9.3, an Award shall be considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Change in Control was not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Award, for each Share subject to an Award, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent equal in fair market value to the per-share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Change in Control.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if a Participant experiences a Termination of Service during the period beginning three months prior to and ending 12 months following the closing of a Change in Control that is effected by the Company without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason, then, the Award(s) held by such Participant shall become fully vested and, if applicable, exercisable and all forfeiture restrictions on such Award(s) shall lapse as of immediately prior to the consummation of such Change in Control or, if later, the date of such Termination of Service.

9.4 Administrative Stand Still. In the event of any pending stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of Company assets to stockholders, or any other extraordinary transaction or change affecting the Shares or the share price of Common Stock (including any Equity Restructuring or any securities offering or other similar transaction) or for reasons of administrative convenience or to facilitate compliance with any Applicable Law, the Administrator may refuse to permit the exercise or settlement of one or more Awards for such period of time as the Company may determine to be reasonably appropriate under the circumstances.

9.5 General. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or the Administrator’s action under the Plan, no Participant will have any rights due to any subdivision or consolidation of Shares of any class, dividend payment, increase or decrease in the number of Shares of any class or dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company or other corporation. Except as expressly provided with respect to an Equity Restructuring under Section 9.1 above or the Administrator’s action under the Plan, no issuance by the Company of Shares of any class, or securities convertible into Shares of any class, will affect, and no adjustment will be made regarding, the number of Shares subject to an Award or the Award’s grant or exercise price. The existence of the Plan, any Award Agreements and the Awards granted hereunder will not affect or restrict in any way the Company’s right or power to make or authorize (i) any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, (ii) any merger, consolidation, spinoff, dissolution or liquidation of the Company or sale of Company assets or (iii) any sale or issuance of securities, including securities with rights superior to those of the Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares.

ARTICLE X.

PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS

10.1 Transferability.

(a) No Award may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or, subject to the Administrator’s consent, pursuant to a DRO, unless and until such Award has been exercised or the Shares underlying such Award have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such Shares have lapsed. During the life of a Participant, Awards will be exercisable only by the Participant, unless it has been disposed of pursuant to a DRO. After the death of a Participant, any exercisable portion of an Award may, prior to the time when such portion becomes unexercisable under the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement, be exercised by the Participant’s personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Participant’s will or under the then-Applicable Law of descent and distribution. References to a Participant, to the extent relevant in the context, will include references to a transferee approved by the Administrator.


(b) Notwithstanding Section 10.1(a), the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine to permit a Participant or a Permitted Transferee of such Participant to transfer an Award other than an Incentive Stock Option (unless such Incentive Stock Option is intended to become a Nonqualified Stock Option) to any one or more Permitted Transferees of such Participant, subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) an Award transferred to a Permitted Transferee shall not be assignable or transferable by the Permitted Transferee other than (A) to another Permitted Transferee of the applicable Participant or (B) by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, subject to the consent of the Administrator, pursuant to a domestic relations order; (ii) an Award transferred to a Permitted Transferee shall continue to be subject to all the terms and conditions of the Award as applicable to the original Participant (other than the ability to further transfer the Award to any Person other than another Permitted Transferee of the applicable Participant); (iii) the Participant (or transferring Permitted Transferee) and the receiving Permitted Transferee shall execute any and all documents requested by the Administrator, including, without limitation documents to (A) confirm the status of the transferee as a Permitted Transferee, (B) satisfy any requirements for an exemption for the transfer under Applicable Law and (C) evidence the transfer; and (iv) any transfer of an Award to a Permitted Transferee shall be without consideration, except as required by Applicable Law. In addition, and further notwithstanding Section 10.1(a), the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine to permit a Participant to transfer Incentive Stock Options to a trust that constitutes a Permitted Transferee if, under Section 671 of the Code and other Applicable Law, the Participant is considered the sole beneficial owner of the Incentive Stock Option while it is held in the trust.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 10.1(a), if permitted by the Administrator, a Participant may, in the manner determined by the Administrator, designate a Designated Beneficiary. A Designated Beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights pursuant to the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award Agreement applicable to the Participant and any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Administrator. If the Participant is married or a domestic partner in a domestic partnership qualified under Applicable Law and resides in a community property state, a designation of a person other than the Participant’s spouse or domestic partner, as applicable, as the Participant’s Designated Beneficiary with respect to more than 50% of the Participant’s interest in the Award shall not be effective without the prior written or electronic consent of the Participant’s spouse or domestic partner. Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Participant at any time; provided that the change or revocation is delivered in writing to the Administrator prior to the Participant’s death.

10.2 Documentation. Each Award will be evidenced in an Award Agreement in such form as the Administrator determines in its discretion. Each Award may contain such terms and conditions as are determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, to the extent not inconsistent with those set forth in the Plan.

10.3 Discretion. Except as the Plan otherwise provides, each Award may be made alone or in addition or in relation to any other Award. The terms of each Award to a Participant need not be identical, and the Administrator need not treat Participants or Awards (or portions thereof) uniformly.

10.4 Changes in Participant’s Status. The Administrator will determine how the disability, death, retirement, authorized leave of absence or any other change or purported change in a Participant’s Service Provider status affects an Award and the extent to which, and the period during which, the Participant, the Participant’s legal representative, conservator, guardian or Designated Beneficiary may exercise rights under the Award, if applicable. Except to the extent otherwise required by Applicable Law or expressly authorized by the Company or by the Company’s written policy on leaves of absence, no service credit shall be given for vesting purposes for any period the Participant is on a leave of absence.

10.5 Withholding. Each Participant must pay the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable, or make provision satisfactory to the Administrator for payment of, any Tax-Related Items required by Applicable Law to be withheld in connection with such Participant’s Awards and/or Shares by the date of the event creating the liability for Tax-Related Items. At the Company’s discretion and subject to any Company insider trading policy (including black-out periods), any withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items may be satisfied by (i) deducting an amount sufficient to satisfy such withholding obligation from any payment of any kind otherwise due to a Participant; (ii) accepting a payment from the Participant in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, or by check made payable to the order of the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable; (iii) accepting the delivery of Shares, including Shares delivered by attestation; (iv) retaining Shares from the Award creating the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items, valued on the date of delivery, (v) if there is a public market for Shares at the time the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied, selling Shares issued pursuant to the Award creating the withholding obligation


for Tax-Related Items, either voluntarily by the Participant or mandatorily by the Company; (vi) accepting delivery of a promissory note or any other lawful consideration; or (vii) any combination of the foregoing payment forms. The amount withheld pursuant to any of the foregoing payment forms shall be determined by the Company and may be up to, but no greater than, the aggregate amount of such obligations based on the maximum statutory withholding rates in the applicable Participant’s jurisdiction for all Tax-Related Items that are applicable to such taxable income. If any tax withholding obligation will be satisfied under clause (v) of the preceding paragraph, each Participant’s acceptance of an Award under the Plan will constitute the Participant’s authorization to the Company and instruction and authorization to any brokerage firm selected by the Company to effect the sale to complete the transactions described in clause (v).

10.6 Amendment of Award; Repricing. The Administrator may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award, including by substituting another Award of the same or a different type, changing the exercise or settlement date, and converting an Incentive Stock Option to a Nonqualified Stock Option. The Participant’s consent to such action will be required unless (i) the action, taking into account any related action, does not materially and adversely affect the Participant’s rights under the Award, or (ii) the change is permitted under Article IX or pursuant to Section 11.6. In addition, the Administrator shall, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, have the authority to (a) amend any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right to reduce its exercise price per Shares or (b) cancel any Option or Stock Appreciation Right in exchange for cash or another Award. The Company will not grant any stock options or stock appreciation rights with automatic reload features.

10.7 Conditions on Delivery of Stock. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Shares under the Plan or remove restrictions from Shares previously delivered under the Plan until (i) all Award conditions have been met or removed to the Company’s satisfaction, (ii) as determined by the Company, all other legal matters regarding the issuance and delivery of such Shares have been satisfied, including, without limitation, any applicable securities laws and stock exchange or stock market rules and regulations, (iii) any approvals from governmental agencies that the Company determines are necessary or advisable have been obtained, and (iv) the Participant has executed and delivered to the Company such representations or agreements as the Administrator deems necessary or appropriate to satisfy Applicable Law. The inability or impracticability of the Company to obtain or maintain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained, and shall constitute circumstances in which the Administrator may determine to amend or cancel Awards pertaining to such Shares, with or without consideration to the Participant.

10.8 Acceleration. The Administrator may at any time provide that any Award will become immediately vested and fully or partially exercisable, free of some or all restrictions or conditions, or otherwise fully or partially realizable.

ARTICLE XI.

MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 No Right to Employment or Other Status. No person will have any claim or right to be granted an Award, and the grant of an Award will not be construed as giving a Participant the right to continue employment or any other relationship with the Company or a Subsidiary. The Company and its Subsidiaries expressly reserve the right at any time to dismiss or otherwise terminate its relationship with a Participant free from any liability or claim under the Plan or any Award, except as expressly provided in an Award Agreement or other written agreement between the Participant and the Company or any Subsidiary.

11.2 No Rights as Stockholder; Certificates. Subject to the Award Agreement, no Participant or Designated Beneficiary will have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares to be distributed under an Award until becoming the record holder of such Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, unless the Administrator otherwise determines or Applicable Law requires, the Company will not be required to deliver to any Participant certificates evidencing Shares issued in connection with any Award and instead such Shares may be recorded in the books of the Company (or, as applicable, its transfer agent or stock plan administrator). The Company may place legends on any share certificate or book entry to reference restrictions applicable to the Shares (including, without limitation, restrictions applicable to Restricted Stock).


11.3 Effective Date. The Plan was approved by the Board on March 3, 2021. The Plan will become effective (the “Effective Date”) on the date immediately prior to the date of the closing of the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into on or about March 3, 2021, by and among the Company, Reinvent Technology Partners Z and certain other parties (the “Merger Agreement”), provided that it is approved by the Company’s stockholders prior to such date and occurring within 12 months following the date the Board approved the Plan. If the Plan is not approved by the Company’s stockholders within the foregoing time frame, or if the Merger Agreement is terminated prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, the Plan will not become effective. No Incentive Stock Option may be granted pursuant to the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the earlier of (i) the date the Plan was approved by the Board and (ii) the date the Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders.

11.4 Amendment of Plan. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time and from time to time; provided that (a) no amendment requiring stockholder approval to comply with Applicable Law shall be effective unless approved by the Board, and (b) no amendment, other than an increase to the Overall Share Limit or pursuant to Article IX or Section 11.6, may materially and adversely affect any Award outstanding at the time of such amendment without the affected Participant’s consent. No Awards may be granted under the Plan during any suspension period or after Plan termination. Awards outstanding at the time of any Plan suspension or termination will continue to be governed by the Plan and the Award Agreement, as in effect before such suspension or termination. The Board will obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Law.

11.5 Provisions for Foreign Participants. The Administrator may modify Awards granted to Participants who are nationals of a country other than the United States or employed or residing outside the United States, establish subplans or procedures under the Plan or take any other necessary or appropriate action to address Applicable Law, including (a) differences in laws, rules, regulations or customs of such jurisdictions with respect to tax, securities, currency, employee benefit or other matters, (b) listing and other requirements of any non-U.S. securities exchange, and (c) any necessary local governmental or regulatory exemptions or approvals.

11.6 Section 409A.

(a) General. The Company intends that all Awards be structured to comply with, or be exempt from, Section 409A, such that no adverse tax consequences, interest, or penalties under Section 409A apply. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, the Administrator may, without a Participant’s consent, amend this Plan or Awards, adopt policies and procedures, or take any other actions (including amendments, policies, procedures and retroactive actions) as are necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of Awards, including any such actions intended to (A) exempt this Plan or any Award from Section 409A, or (B) comply with Section 409A, including regulations, guidance, compliance programs and other interpretative authority that may be issued after an Award’s grant date. The Company makes no representations or warranties as to an Award’s tax treatment under Section 409A or otherwise. The Company will have no obligation under this Section 11.6 or otherwise to avoid the taxes, penalties or interest under Section 409A with respect to any Award and will have no liability to any Participant or any other person if any Award, compensation or other benefits under the Plan are determined to constitute noncompliant “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to taxes, penalties or interest under Section 409A.

(b) Separation from Service. If an Award constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A, any payment or settlement of such Award upon a Participant’s Termination of Service will, to the extent necessary to avoid taxes under Section 409A, be made only upon the Participant’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A), whether such “separation from service” occurs upon or after the Participant’s Termination of Service. For purposes of this Plan or any Award Agreement relating to any such payments or benefits, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms means a “separation from service.”


(c) Payments to Specified Employees. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in the Plan or any Award Agreement, any payment(s) of “nonqualified deferred compensation” required to be made under an Award to a “specified employee” (as defined under Section 409A and as the Administrator determines) due to his or her “separation from service” will, to the extent necessary to avoid taxes under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, be delayed for the six-month period immediately following such “separation from service” (or, if earlier, until the specified employee’s death) and will instead be paid (as set forth in the Award Agreement) on the day immediately following such six-month period or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter (without interest). Any payments of “nonqualified deferred compensation” under such Award payable more than six months following the Participant’s “separation from service” will be paid at the time or times the payments are otherwise scheduled to be made.

(d) Separate Payments. If an Award includes a “series of installment payments” within the meaning of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii) of Section 409A, the Participant’s right to the series of installment payments will be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and not as a right to a single payment and, if an Award includes “dividend equivalents” within the meaning of Section 1.409A-3(e) of Section 409A, the Participant’s right to receive the dividend equivalents will be treated separately from the right to other amounts under the Award.

(e) Change in Control. Any payment due upon a Change in Control of the Company will be paid only if such Change in Control constitutes a “change in ownership” or “change in effective control” within the meaning of Section 409A, and in the event that such Change in Control does not constitute a “change in the ownership” or “change in the effective control” within the meaning of Section 409A, such Award will vest upon the Change in Control and any payment will be delayed until the first compliant date under Section 409A.

11.7 Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, no individual acting as a director, officer or other employee of the Company or any Subsidiary will be liable to any Participant, former Participant, spouse, beneficiary, or any other person for any claim, loss, liability, or expense incurred in connection with the Plan or any Award, and such individual will not be personally liable with respect to the Plan because of any contract or other instrument executed in his or her capacity as an Administrator, director, officer or other employee of the Company or any Subsidiary. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each director, officer or other employee of the Company or any Subsidiary that has been or will be granted or delegated any duty or power relating to the Plan’s administration or interpretation, against any cost or expense (including attorneys’ fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the Administrator’s approval) arising from any act or omission concerning this Plan unless arising from such person’s own fraud or bad faith; provided that he or she gives the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf.

11.8 Data Privacy. As a condition for receiving any Award, each Participant explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of personal data as described in this Section 11.8 by and among the Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates exclusively for implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates may hold certain personal information about a Participant, including the Participant’s name, address and telephone number; birthdate; social security, insurance number or other identification number; salary; nationality; job title(s); any Shares held in the Company or its Subsidiaries and affiliates; and Award details, to implement, manage and administer the Plan and Awards (the “Data”). The Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates may transfer the Data amongst themselves as necessary to implement, administer and manage a Participant’s participation in the Plan, and the Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates may transfer the Data to third parties assisting the Company with Plan implementation, administration and management. These recipients may be located in the Participant’s country, or elsewhere, and the Participant’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the recipients’ country. By accepting an Award, each Participant authorizes such recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan, including any required Data transfer to a broker or other third party with whom the Company or the Participant may elect to deposit any Shares. The Data related to a Participant will be held only as long as necessary to implement, administer, and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan. A Participant may, at any time, view the Data that the Company holds regarding such Participant, request additional information about the storage and processing of the Data regarding such Participant, recommend any necessary corrections to the Data regarding the Participant or refuse or withdraw the consents in this Section 11.8 in writing,


without cost, by contacting the local human resources representative. The Company may cancel Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan and, in the Administrator’s sole discretion, the Participant may forfeit any outstanding Awards if the Participant refuses or withdraws the consents in this Section 11.8. For more information on the consequences of refusing or withdrawing consent, Participants may contact their local human resources representative.

11.9 Severability. If any portion of the Plan or any action taken under it is held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity will not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan will be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provisions had been excluded, and the illegal or invalid action will be null and void.

11.10 Governing Documents. If any contradiction occurs between the Plan and any Award Agreement or other written agreement between a Participant and the Company (or any Subsidiary), the Plan will govern, unless such Award Agreement or other written agreement was approved by the Administrator and expressly provides that a specific provision of the Plan will not apply.

11.11 Governing Law. The Plan and all Awards will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of law rules thereof or of any other jurisdiction.

11.12 Clawback Provisions. All Awards (including the gross amount of any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit the Participant actually or constructively receives upon receipt or exercise of any Award or the receipt or resale of any Shares underlying the Award) will be subject to recoupment by the Company to the extent required to comply with Applicable Law or any policy of the Company providing for the reimbursement of incentive compensation, whether or not such policy was in place at the time of grant of an Award.

11.13 Titles and Headings. The titles and headings in the Plan are for convenience of reference only and, if any conflict, the Plan’s text, rather than such titles or headings, will control.

11.14 Conformity to Applicable Law. Participant acknowledges that the Plan is intended to conform to the extent necessary with Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan and all Awards will be administered only in a manner intended to conform with Applicable Law. To the extent Applicable Law permits, the Plan and all Award Agreements will be deemed amended as necessary to conform to Applicable Law.

11.15 Relationship to Other Benefits. No payment under the Plan will be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or other benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary, except as expressly provided in writing in such other plan or an agreement thereunder.

11.16 Unfunded Status of Awards. The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or Award Agreement shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Subsidiary.

11.17 Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Plan and any Award granted or awarded to any individual who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act and any amendments thereto) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

11.18 Prohibition on Executive Officer Loans. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no Participant who is a Director or an “executive officer” of the Company within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act shall be permitted to make payment with respect to any Awards granted under the Plan, or continue any extension of credit with respect to such payment, with a loan from the Company or a loan arranged by the Company in violation of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act.


11.19 Broker-Assisted Sales. In the event of a broker-assisted sale of Shares in connection with the payment of amounts owed by a Participant under or with respect to the Plan or Awards, including amounts to be paid under the final sentence of Section 10.5: (a) any Shares to be sold through the broker-assisted sale will be sold on the day the payment first becomes due, or as soon thereafter as practicable; (b) such Shares may be sold as part of a block trade with other Participants in the Plan in which all Participants receive an average price; (c) the applicable Participant will be responsible for all broker’s fees and other costs of sale, and by accepting an Award, each Participant agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any losses, costs, damages, or expenses relating to any such sale; (d) to the extent the Company or its designee receives proceeds of such sale that exceed the amount owed, the Company will pay such excess in cash to the applicable Participant as soon as reasonably practicable; (e) the Company and its designees are under no obligation to arrange for such sale at any particular price; and (f) in the event the proceeds of such sale are insufficient to satisfy the Participant’s applicable obligation, the Participant may be required to pay immediately upon demand to the Company or its designee an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy any remaining portion of the Participant’s obligation.

EXHIBIT A

TO RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD GRANT NOTICE

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

Pursuant to the Restricted Stock Unit Award Grant Notice (the “Grant Notice”) to which this Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) is attached, Hippo Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has granted to the Participant the number of restricted stock units (“Restricted Stock Units or RSUs”) set forth in the Grant Notice under the Company’s 2021 Incentive Award Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”). Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock (a “Share”) upon vesting.

ARTICLE I.

GENERAL

1.1 Defined Terms. Capitalized terms not specifically defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Plan and the Grant Notice.

1.2 Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The RSUs are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall control.

ARTICLE II.

GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

2.1 Grant of RSUs. Pursuant to the Grant Notice and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice, the Company hereby grants to the Participant an award of RSUs under the Plan in consideration of the Participant’s past or continued employment with or service to the Company or any Subsidiaries and for other good and valuable consideration.

2.2 Unsecured Obligation to RSUs. Unless and until the RSUs have vested in the manner set forth in Article 2 hereof, the Participant will have no right to receive Common Stock or other property under any such RSUs. Prior to actual payment of any vested RSUs, such RSUs will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company.

2.3 Vesting Schedule. Subject to Section 2.5 hereof, the RSUs shall vest and become nonforfeitable with respect to the applicable portion thereof according to the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice (rounding down to the nearest whole Share).

2.4 Consideration to the Company. In consideration of the grant of the award of RSUs pursuant hereto, the Participant agrees to render faithful and efficient services to the Company or any Subsidiary.

2.5 Forfeiture, Termination and Cancellation upon Termination of Service. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement or the Plan, upon the Participant’s Termination of Service for any or no reason, all Restricted Stock Units which have not vested prior to or in connection with such Termination of Service shall thereupon automatically be forfeited, terminated and cancelled as of the applicable termination date without payment of any consideration by the Company, and the

 

A-1


Participant, or the Participant’s beneficiary or personal representative, as the case may be, shall have no further rights hereunder. No portion of the RSUs which has not become vested as of the date on which the Participant incurs a Termination of Service shall thereafter become vested, except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator or as set forth in a written agreement between the Company and the Participant.

2.6 Issuance of Common Stock upon Vesting.

(a) As soon as administratively practicable following the vesting of any Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, but in no event later than 30 days after such vesting date (for the avoidance of doubt, this deadline is intended to comply with the “short term deferral” exemption from Section 409A of the Code), the Company shall deliver to the Participant (or any transferee permitted under Section 3.2 hereof) a number of Shares equal to the number of RSUs subject to this Award that vest on the applicable vesting date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Shares cannot be issued pursuant to Section 10.7 of the Plan, the Shares shall be issued pursuant to the preceding sentence as soon as administratively practicable after the Administrator determines that Shares can again be issued in accordance with such Section.

(b) As set forth in Section 10.5 of the Plan, the Company shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or to require the Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy all applicable federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising in connection with the Restricted Stock Units. The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any Shares to the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative unless and until the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative shall have paid or otherwise satisfied in full the amount of all federal, state and local taxes applicable to the taxable income of the Participant resulting from the grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock Units or the issuance of Shares.

2.7 Conditions to Delivery of Shares. The Shares deliverable hereunder may be either previously authorized but unissued Shares, treasury Shares or issued Shares which have then been reacquired by the Company. Such Shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable. The Company shall not be required to issue Shares deliverable hereunder prior to fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Section 10.7 of the Plan.

2.8 Rights as Stockholder. The holder of the RSUs shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to dividends, in respect of the RSUs and any Shares underlying the RSUs and deliverable hereunder unless and until such Shares shall have been issued by the Company and held of record by such holder (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Article IX of the Plan.

ARTICLE III.

OTHER PROVISIONS

3.1 Administration. The Administrator shall have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret, amend or revoke any such rules. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith shall be final and binding upon the Participant, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Administrator or the Board shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan, this Agreement or the RSUs.

3.3 Tax Consultation. The Participant understands that the Participant may suffer adverse tax consequences in connection with the RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement (and the Shares issuable with respect thereto). The Participant represents that the Participant has consulted with any tax consultants the Participant deems advisable in connection with the RSUs and the issuance of Shares with respect thereto and that the Participant is not relying on the Company for any tax advice.

3.4 Binding Agreement. Subject to the limitation on the transferability of the RSUs contained herein, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

3.5 Adjustments Upon Specified Events. The Administrator may accelerate the vesting of the RSUs in such circumstances as it, in its sole discretion, may determine. The Participant acknowledges that the RSUs are subject to adjustment, modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and Article IX of the Plan.

3.6 Notices. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the Company shall be addressed to the Company in care of the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s principal office, and any notice to be given to the Participant shall be addressed to the Participant at the Participant’s last address reflected on the Company’s records. By a notice given pursuant to this Section 3.6, either party may hereafter designate a different address for notices to be given to that party. Any notice shall be deemed duly given when sent via email or when sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) and deposited (with postage prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service.

3.7 Participant’s Representations. If the Shares issuable hereunder have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state laws on an effective registration statement at the time of such issuance, the Participant shall, if required by the Company, concurrently with such issuance, make such written representations as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company or its counsel.

3.8 Titles. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

3.9 Governing Law. The laws of the State of Delaware shall govern the interpretation, validity, administration, enforcement and performance of the terms of this Agreement regardless of the law that might be applied under principles of conflicts of laws.

3.10 Conformity to Securities Laws. The Participant acknowledges that the Plan and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and any other Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the RSUs are granted, only in such a manner as to conform to Applicable Law. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Plan and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such Applicable Law.

 

A-3


3.11 Amendment, Suspension and Termination. To the extent permitted by the Plan, this Agreement may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Administrator or the Board; provided, however, that, except as may otherwise be provided by the Plan, no amendment, modification, suspension or termination of this Agreement shall adversely affect the RSUs in any material way without the prior written consent of the Participant.

3.12 Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth in Section 3.2 hereof, this Agreement shall be binding upon the Participant and his or her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

3.13 Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if the Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, then the Plan, the RSUs and this Agreement shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

3.14 Not a Contract of Service Relationship. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon Participant any right to continue to serve as an employee or other service provider of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or interfere with or restrict in any way with the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or to terminate for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, the services of the Participant at any time.

3.15 Entire Agreement. The Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement (including all Exhibits thereto, if any) constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof, provided that the RSUs shall be subject to any accelerated vesting provisions in any written agreement between the Participant and the Company or a Company plan pursuant to which the Participant participates, in each case, in accordance with the terms therein.

3.16 Section 409A. This Award is not intended to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (together with any Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the date hereof, “Section 409A”). However, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement, if at any time the Administrator determines that this Award (or any portion thereof) may be subject to Section 409A, the Administrator shall have the right in its sole discretion (without any obligation to do so or to indemnify Participant or any other person for failure to do so) to adopt such amendments to the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement, or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, as the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate for this Award either to be exempt from the application of Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.

The Participant shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the RSUs, and rights no greater than the right to receive the Shares as a general unsecured creditor with respect to RSUs, as and when payable hereunder.

GRANT OF OPTION

2.1 Grant of Option. In consideration of the Participant’s past or continued employment with or service to the Company or any Subsidiary and for other good and valuable consideration, effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”), the Company irrevocably grants to the Participant the Option to purchase any part or all of an aggregate of the number of Shares set forth in the Grant Notice, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, subject to adjustments as provided in Article IX of the Plan. Unless designated as a Nonqualified Stock Option in the Grant Notice, the Option shall be an Incentive Stock Option to the maximum extent permitted by law.

2.2 Exercise Price. The exercise price of the Shares subject to the Option shall be as set forth in the Grant Notice, without commission or other charge; provided, however, that the exercise price per share of the Shares subject to the Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date.

ARTICLE 3.

PERIOD OF EXERCISABILITY

3.1 Commencement of Exercisability.

(a) Subject to Sections 3.2, 3.3, 5.11 and 5.17 hereof, the Option shall become vested and exercisable in such amounts and at such times as are set forth in the Grant Notice.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 3.1(a) hereof and the Grant Notice, but subject to Section 3.1(b) hereof, in the event of a Change in Control the Option shall be treated pursuant to Sections 9.2 and 9.3 of the Plan.

3.2 Duration of Exercisability. The installments provided for in the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice are cumulative. Each such installment which becomes vested and exercisable pursuant to the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice shall remain vested and exercisable until it becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3 hereof.

3.3 Expiration of Option. The Option may not be exercised to any extent by anyone after the first to occur of the following events:

(a) The Expiration Date set forth in the Grant Notice, which shall in no event be more than ten years from the Grant Date;

The Participant further acknowledges that the rule set forth in the preceding sentence shall be applied by taking the Option and other “incentive stock options” into account in the order in which they were granted, as determined under Section 422(d) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. The Participant also acknowledges that an Incentive Stock Option exercised more than three months after the Participant’s Termination of Employment, other than by reason of death or Disability, will be taxed as a Nonqualified Stock Option.

3.5 Tax Indemnity.

(a) The Participant agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company, any Subsidiary and the Participant’s employing company, if different, from and against any liability for or obligation to pay any Tax Liability (a “Tax Liability” being any liability for income tax, withholding tax and any other employment related taxes or social security contributions in any jurisdiction) that is attributable to (1) the grant or exercise of, or any benefit derived by the Participant from, the Option, (2) the acquisition by the Participant of the Shares on exercise of the Option or (3) the disposal of any Shares.

(b) The Option cannot be exercised until the Participant has made such arrangements as the Company may require for the satisfaction of any Tax Liability that may arise in connection with the exercise of the Option or the acquisition of the Shares by the Participant.

(c) The Participant hereby acknowledges that the Company (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax Liabilities in connection with any aspect of the Option and (ii) does not commit to and is under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of any Award, including the Option, to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax Liabilities or achieve any particular tax result. Furthermore, if the Participant becomes subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the date of grant of an Award, including the Option, and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Participant acknowledges that the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax Liabilities in more than one jurisdiction.

4.2 Partial Exercise. Any exercisable portion of the Option or the entire Option, if then wholly exercisable, may be exercised in whole or in part at any time prior to the time when the Option or portion thereof becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3 hereof.

(b) The receipt by the Company of full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option or portion thereof is exercised, including payment of any applicable withholding tax, which shall be made by deduction from other compensation payable to the Participant or in such other form of consideration permitted under Section 4.4 hereof that is acceptable to the Company;

(c) Any other written representations or documents as may be required in the Administrator’s sole discretion to evidence compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other applicable law, rule or regulation; and

4.4 Method of Payment. Payment of the exercise price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Participant:

(a) Cash or check;

(b) With the consent of the Administrator, surrender of Shares (including, without limitation, Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option) held for such period of time as may be required by the Administrator in order to avoid adverse accounting consequences and having a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Option or exercised portion thereof; or

(c) Other legal consideration acceptable to the Administrator (including, without limitation, through the delivery of a notice that the Participant has placed a market sell order with a broker with respect to Shares then issuable upon exercise of the Option, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the Option exercise price; provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company at such time as may be required by the Company, but in any event not later than the settlement of such sale).

4.5 Conditions to Issuance of Shares. The Shares deliverable upon the exercise of the Option, or any portion thereof, may be either previously authorized but unissued Shares or issued Shares which have then been reacquired by the Company. Such Shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Shares purchased upon the exercise of the Option or portion thereof prior to fulfillment of all of the conditions in Section 10.7 of the Plan and following conditions:

(a) The admission of such Shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which such Shares are then listed;

(d) The receipt by the Company of full payment for such Shares, including payment of any applicable withholding tax, which may be in one or more of the forms of consideration permitted under Section 4.4 hereof; and

(e) The lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the Option as the Administrator may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience.

4.6 Participant’s Representations. If the Shares issuable hereunder have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state laws on an effective registration statement at the time of exercise, the Participant shall, if required by the Company, concurrently with such exercise, make such written representations as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company or its counsel.

4.7 Rights as Stockholder. The holder of the Option shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to dividends, in respect of any Shares purchasable upon the exercise of any part of the Option unless and until such Shares shall have been issued by the Company and held of record by such holder (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Article IX of the Plan.

ARTICLE 5.

OTHER PROVISIONS

5.1 Administration. The Administrator shall have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret, amend or revoke any such rules. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith shall be final and binding upon the Participant, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Committee or the Board shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan, this Agreement or the Option.

5.3 Transferability.

(a) Subject to Section 4.1 hereof, the Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, subject to the consent of the Administrator, pursuant to a DRO, unless and until the Option has been exercised and the Shares underlying the Option have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such Shares have lapsed. Neither the Option nor any interest or right therein shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Participant or his or her successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment,

 

A-5


garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy) unless and until the Option has been exercised, and any attempted disposition thereof prior to exercise shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by the preceding sentence.

(b) During the lifetime of the Participant, only the Participant may exercise the Option (or any portion thereof), unless it has been disposed of pursuant to a DRO; after the death of the Participant, any exercisable portion of the Option may, prior to the time when such portion becomes unexercisable under the Plan or this Agreement, be exercised by the Participant’s personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Participant’s will or under the then-applicable laws of descent and distribution.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Participant may, in the manner determined by the Administrator, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to the Option upon the Participant’s death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights pursuant to the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, except to the extent the Plan and this Agreement otherwise provide, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Administrator. If the Participant is married or a domestic partner in a domestic partnership qualified under Applicable Law and resides in a community property state, a designation of a person other than the Participant’s spouse or domestic partner, as applicable, as his or her beneficiary with respect to more than 50% of the Participant’s interest in the Option shall not be effective without the prior written consent of the Participant’s spouse or domestic partner. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant, payment shall be made to the person entitled thereto pursuant to the Participant’s will or the laws of descent and distribution. Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by the Participant at any time provided the change or revocation is filed with the Administrator prior to the Participant’s death.

The Participant understands that the Participant may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option, or with the purchase or disposition of the Shares subject to the Option. The Participant represents that the Participant has consulted with any tax consultants the Participant deems advisable in connection with the purchase or disposition of such Shares and that the Participant is not relying on the Company for any tax advice.

5.5 Binding Agreement. Subject to the limitation on the transferability of the Option contained herein, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

5.6 Adjustments Upon Specified Events. The Administrator may accelerate the vesting of the Option in such circumstances as it, in its sole discretion, may determine. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events relating to the Shares contemplated by Article IX of the Plan (including, without limitation, an extraordinary cash dividend on such Shares), the Administrator shall make such adjustments the Administrator deems appropriate in the number of Shares subject to the Option, the exercise price of the Option and the kind of securities that may be issued upon exercise of the Option.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the Option is granted and may be exercised, only in such a manner as to conform to such Applicable Law. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such Applicable Law.

5.11 Amendment, Suspension and Termination. To the extent permitted by the Plan, this Agreement may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Administrator or the Board; provided, however, that, except as may otherwise be provided by the Plan, no amendment, modification, suspension or termination of this Agreement shall adversely affect the Option in any material way without the prior written consent of the Participant.

5.12 Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth in Section 5.3 hereof, this Agreement shall be binding upon the Participant and his or her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

 

A-7


5.15 Not a Contract of Service Relationship. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue to serve as an employee or other service provider of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or interfere with or restrict in any way with the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or to terminate for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, the services of the Participant at any time.

5.16 Entire Agreement. The Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof, provided that the Option shall be subject to any accelerated vesting provisions in any written agreement between the Participant and the Company or a Company plan pursuant to which the Participant participates, in each case, in accordance with the terms therein.

5.17 Section 409A. This Option is not intended to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (together with any Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the date hereof, “Section 409A”). However, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement, if at any time the Administrator determines that the Option (or any portion thereof) may be subject to Section 409A, the Administrator shall have the right in its sole discretion (without any obligation to do so or to indemnify the Participant or any other person for failure to do so) to adopt such amendments to the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement, or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, as the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate either for the Option to be exempt from the application of Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.

5.18 Limitation on the Participant’s Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and shall not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. The Participant shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the Option, and rights no greater than the right to receive the Shares as a general unsecured creditor with respect to options, as and when exercised pursuant to the terms hereof.

Exhibit 10.17

HIPPO HOLDINGS INC.

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION PROGRAM

This Hippo Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) Non-Employee Director Compensation Program (this “Program”) has been adopted under the Company’s 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”) and shall be effective upon the later of the date approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) or the closing of the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into on March 3, 2021, by and among Hippo Enterprises Inc., Reinvent Technology Partners Z, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares, and RTPZ Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Reinvent Technology Partners Z (the “Merger Agreement”) (such later date, the “Effective Date”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed in the Plan. The cash and equity compensation described in this Program shall be paid or be made, as applicable, automatically and without further action of the Board to each member of the Board who is not an employee of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company (each, a “Non-Employee Director”) unless such Non-Employee Director declines the receipt of such cash or equity compensation by written notice to the Company prior to the first day of the calendar year with respect to which such compensation is scheduled to be earned, or, in the case of a Non-Employee Director who first becomes eligible to participate in the Program, within the first 30 days of such eligibility. The notice shall be effective for such compensation and all subsequent compensation unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Company and the Non-Employee Director.

In the event a Non-Employee Director does not serve as a Non-Employee Director, or in the applicable positions described above, for an entire calendar quarter, the retainer paid to such Non-Employee Director shall be prorated for the portion of such calendar quarter actually served as a Non-Employee Director, or in such position, as applicable.


Equity Compensation

 

Initial Equity Grant:   

Each Non-Employee Director who is initially elected or appointed to serve on the Board within one year of the Effective Date or after the Effective Date shall be granted an award of RSUs under the Plan or any other applicable Company equity incentive plan then-maintained by the Company with respect to that number of shares of Common Stock calculated by dividing (i) $300,000 by (ii) the Grant Date Value(the “Initial RSU Award”). For purposes hereof, “Grant Date Value” shall mean (i) except as provided in subsection (ii), the average closing market price of the Company’s common stock as quoted on the national exchange with which the Common Stock is listed for the 30-day period immediately preceding the applicable date of grant and (ii) for each Non-Employee Director who is appointed on or within one year prior to the Effective Date with respect to their Initial RSU Award only, the fair market value per share of Common Stock under the Merger Agreement (i.e., $10.00).

 

Except as provided below and subject to the registration of the Common Stock on a Form S-8, the Initial RSU Award will be automatically granted on the date on which such Non-Employee Director commences service on the Board, and will vest as 1/3rd of the RSUs on each anniversary of the applicable date of grant such that the shares subject to the Initial RSU Award are fully vested on the third anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the Non-Employee Director continuing in service on the Board through each such vesting date. In the case of a Non-Employee Director who commenced services with the Company on or within one-year of the Effective Date, the Initial RSU Award will be automatically granted on the date following the date on which the registration of the Common Stock on a Form S-8 becomes effective, and will vest as 1/3rd of the RSUs on each anniversary of the date on which such Non-Employee Director commences service on the Board, subject to the Non-Employee Director continuing in service on the Board through each such vesting date.


Annual Equity Grant:   

Each Non-Employee Director who (i) is serving on the Board as of the date of an annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders (an “Annual Meeting”) for at least six months after the Effective Date and (ii) will continue to serve as a Non-Employee Director immediately following such Annual Meeting, shall be granted an award of RSUs under the Plan or any other applicable Company equity incentive plan then-maintained by the Company covering a number of shares of Common Stock calculated by dividing (x) $150,000 by (y) Grant Date Value (the “Annual RSU Award”).

 

Subject to the registration of the Common Stock on a Form S-8 prior to first Annual Meeting following the Effective Date, the Annual RSU Award will be automatically granted on the date of the applicable Annual Meeting, and will vest in full upon the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the date of grant and (ii) immediately prior to the Annual Meeting that occurs following the date of grant, subject to the Non-Employee Director continuing in service to the Company and its subsidiaries through such vesting date.

Unless otherwise provided by the Board, no portion of an Initial RSU Award or Annual RSU Award which is unvested at the time of a Non-Employee Director’s termination of service with the Company (as determined by the Board) shall become vested thereafter. Any Initial RSU Award or Annual RSU Award granted hereunder shall be subject to the Plan and the applicable standard form of award agreement thereunder, as modified to reflect the terms herein.

ARTICLE 1

REAL PROPERTY, BUILDING AND PREMISES

1.1 Real Property, Building and Premises.

1.1.1 Premises and Real Property. Upon and subject to the terms, covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth in this Lease, Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the premises set forth in Section 6.1 of the Summary (the “Premises”), which Premises are located in the Building defined in Section 6.2 of the Summary constructed on the Real Property (as defined below). The outline of the floor plan of the Premises is set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto.

1.1.2 Building and Real Property/Project. The Building is part of that certain project (the “Project”) constructed on the Real Property (as defined below) located at 150 Avenue, Palo Alto, California. The term “Real Property,” as used in this Lease, shall mean, collectively, (i) the Building, (ii) the parking area and any outside plaza areas, patios, alleys, walkways, driveways, courtyards, public and private streets, and other improvements and facilities appurtenant thereto, and (iii) the land upon which any of the foregoing are situated. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord has no obligation to expand or otherwise make any improvements within the Project, including, without limitation, any of the outside plaza areas, walkways, driveways, courtyards, public and private streets and other improvements and facilities.

1.1.3 Tenant’s and Landlord’s Rights. Tenant’s use of the Premises shall be subject to the rules and regulations attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Rules and Regulations”) and such other reasonable, non-discriminatory rules, regulations and restrictions as Landlord may make from time to time, provided that no modifications of such rules, or new rules, shall be enacted if such would materially increase Tenant’s obligations under this Lease monetarily or otherwise, or if the same would materially diminish the rights granted to Tenant hereunder. Landlord reserves the right from time to time to grant, without the consent or joinder of Tenant, such easements, rights of way and dedications that Landlord deems necessary, and to cause the recordation of parcel maps and restrictions, so long as such easements, rights of way and dedications do not unreasonably interfere with the use of the Premises by Tenant or Tenant’s access to the Premises, and do not increase Tenant’s obligations hereunder. Tenant agrees to execute any documents reasonably requested by Landlord to effectuate any such easement rights, dedications, maps or restrictions.

1.2 Condition of Premises. Landlord shall not be obligated to provide or pay for any improvement, remodeling or refurbishment work or services related to the improvement, remodeling or refurbishment of the Premises, and Tenant shall accept the Premises in its “As Is” condition on the Commencement Date and without representation or warranty by Landlord as to the condition of the Premises or the Building or as to the use or occupancy which may be made thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall deliver the Premises to Tenant vacant and in broom clean condition, with all furniture, fixtures and equipment from the previous tenant removed, and with all Building systems in good working order and repair, including, all electrical, plumbing and mechanical systems (the “Delivery Condition”).

1.3 Rentable Square Feet. The parties hereby stipulate that the Premises contain the rentable square feet set forth in Section 6.1 of the Summary, and such square footage amount is not subject to adjustment or re-measurement by Landlord or Tenant. Accordingly, there shall be no adjustment in the Base Rent or other amounts set forth in this Lease which are determined based upon rentable or usable square feet of the Premises, and Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease or receive any adjustment or rebate of any Base Rent or Additional Rent (as hereinafter defined) payable hereunder if the square footage of the Project, the Building or the Premises is incorrect. Tenant has inspected the Premises and is fully familiar with the scope and size thereof and agrees to pay the full Base Rent and Additional Rent set forth herein in consideration for the use and occupancy of such space, regardless of the actual number of square feet contained therein.

ARTICLE 2

LEASE TERM

The terms and provisions of this Lease shall be effective as of the Effective Date. The term of this Lease (the “Lease Term”) shall be as set forth in Section 7.1 of the Summary and shall commence on the date (the “Commencement Date”) set forth in Section 7.2 of the Summary (subject to the terms of the Work Letter), and shall terminate on the date (the “Expiration Date”) set forth in Section 7.3 of the Summary, unless this Lease is sooner terminated as hereinafter provided.

In the event Landlord delivers to Tenant an amendment to lease in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C hereto, setting forth the Commencement Date and the Expiration Date, Tenant shall execute and return such amendment to Landlord within five (5) days after Tenant’s receipt thereof. If Tenant fails to execute and return the amendment within such five (5) day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved and confirmed the dates set forth therein, provided that such deemed approval shall not relieve Tenant of its obligation to execute and return the amendment (and such failure shall constitute a default by Tenant hereunder).

ARTICLE 3

BASE RENT

3.1 Tenant shall pay, without notice or demand, to Landlord by wire transfer to: First Republic Bank, 2100 El Camino Real, Palo Alto CA 94306; ABA 321081669; Account Name: Tallwood Forest, LLC; Account Number: 80006851184, or such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing, base rent (“Base Rent”) as set forth in Section 8 of the Summary, payable in equal monthly installments as set forth in Section 8 of the Summary in advance on or before the first day of each and every month during the Lease Term, without any setoff or deduction whatsoever. The Base Rent and Additional Rent for the first full month of the Lease Term in which Base Rent is payable hereunder shall be paid at the time of Tenant’s execution of this Lease. If any rental payment date (including the Commencement Date) falls on a day of the month other than the first day of such month or if any rental payment is for a period which is shorter than one month, then the rental for any such fractional month shall be a proportionate amount of a full calendar month’s rental based on the proportion that the number of days in such fractional month bears to the number of days in the calendar month during which such fractional month occurs. All other payments or adjustments required to be made under the terms of this Lease that require proration on a time basis shall be prorated on the same basis.

3.2 Provided that Tenant is not in default under this Lease, then during the first (1st) full calendar month of the Lease Term (the “Rent Abatement Period”), Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Base Rent otherwise attributable to the Premises during such Rent Abatement Period (the “Rent Abatement”). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall be required to pay Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utility Expenses attributable to the Premises and all other Additional Rent (as defined in Article 4, below) due pursuant to the terms of this Lease during the Rent Abatement Period. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing Rent Abatement has been granted to Tenant as additional consideration for entering into this Lease, and for agreeing to pay the rental and perform the terms and conditions otherwise required under this Lease. If at any time during the Lease Term Tenant is in default under this Lease, and Tenant shall fail to cure such default within any applicable notice and cure period, or if this Lease is terminated for any reason other than Landlord’s breach of this Lease, then the dollar amount of the unapplied portion of the Rent Abatement as of the date of such default or termination, as the case may be, shall be converted to a credit to be applied to the Base Rent applicable at the end of the Lease Term and Tenant shall immediately be obligated to begin paying Base Rent for the Premises in full.

Accordingly, in addition to paying the Base Rent specified in Article 3 of this Lease, Tenant shall pay as additional rent the sum of the following: (i) Tenant’s Share (as such term is defined below) of the annual Operating Expenses; plus (ii) Tenant’s Share of the annual Tax Expenses; plus (iii) Tenant’s Share of the annual Utilities Costs. Such additional rent, together with any and all other amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease (including, without limitation, pursuant to Article 6), shall be hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Additional Rent.” The Base Rent and Additional Rent are herein collectively referred to as the “Rent.” All amounts due under this Article 4 as Additional Rent shall be payable for the same periods and in the same manner, time and place as the Base Rent. Without limitation on other obligations of Tenant which shall survive the expiration of the Lease Term, the obligations of Tenant to pay the Additional Rent provided for in this Article 4 shall survive the expiration of the Lease Term.

4.2 Definitions. As used in this Article 4, the following terms shall have the meanings hereinafter set forth:

4.2.1 “Operating Expenses” shall mean all expenses, costs and amounts of every kind and nature which Landlord shall pay during any Expense Year (as defined in Section 4.3.1 below) because of or in connection with the ownership, management, maintenance, repair, replacement, restoration or operation of the Real Property, including, without limitation, any amounts paid for: (i) the cost of operating, maintaining, repairing, renovating, making installations to, and managing the Real Property, the Building and the Premises, including without limitation, all utility systems, mechanical systems, sanitary and storm drainage systems, any elevator systems and all other “Systems and Equipment” (as defined in Section 4.2.2 of this Lease), and the cost of supplies and equipment and maintenance and service contracts in connection therewith; (ii) the cost of licenses, certificates, permits and inspections, the cost of contesting the validity or applicability of any governmental enactments which may affect Operating Expenses, and the costs incurred in connection with implementation and/or operation of any transportation demand management program or similar program; (iii) the cost of insurance carried by Landlord (including premiums and deductibles), in such amounts as Landlord may determine or as may be required by any mortgagees or the lessor of any underlying or ground lease affecting the Real Property, including, without limitation, fire, earthquake, flood or other casualty, rental loss, liability insurance, pollution insurance, terrorism insurance and such other insurance as Landlord may elect to carry, and the cost of all deductibles and co-insurance amounts payable under any policy or policies of insurance; (iv) the cost of landscaping, re-lamping, supplies, tools, equipment and materials, and all fees, charges and other costs (including consulting fees, legal fees and accounting fees) incurred in connection with the management, operation, repair and maintenance of the Real Property; (v) to the extent not maintained by the Tenant at the Tenant’s cost, the cost of repair, restoration and maintenance of areas outside the Building; (vi) any equipment rental agreements or management agreements (including without limitation the cost of any management fees and the fair rental value of any office space provided thereunder); (vii) wages, salaries and other compensation and benefits of all persons engaged in the operation, management, maintenance or security of the Real Property, and employer’s Social Security taxes, unemployment taxes or insurance, and any other taxes which may be levied on such wages, salaries, compensation and benefits; (viii) payments under any easement, license, operating agreement, cost-sharing agreement, declaration, restrictive covenant, underlying or ground lease (excluding rent), and/or instrument pertaining to the sharing of costs by the Real Property; (ix) the cost of janitorial service (to the extent provided by Landlord), alarm and security service, if any, window cleaning, trash removal, replacement of wall and floor coverings, ceiling tiles and fixtures in lobbies, corridors, restrooms and other common or public areas or facilities, maintenance and replacement of curbs and walkways, repair to roofs and re-roofing; (x) amortization (including interest on the unamortized cost) of the cost of acquiring or the rental expense of personal property used in the maintenance, operation and repair of the Real Property; (xi) all costs of applying and reporting for the Project or any part thereof to seek or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Operating Expenses shall not, however, include: (i) costs (including permit, license, and inspection fees) incurred in renovating, improving, decorating, painting, or redecorating vacant space or space for other tenants within the Project, constructing new buildings within the Project or expanding existing buildings within the Project; (ii) legal and auditing fees (other than those fees reasonably incurred in connection with the ownership and operation of all or any portion the Project); (iii) leasing commissions, advertising expenses, and other costs incurred in connection with the original leasing of the Project or future re-leasing of any portion of the Project; (iv) depreciation of the building or any other improvements situated within the Project; (v) the cost of capital expenditures except to the extent expressly allowed in subsection 4.2.1 (xiii) above; (vi) costs of repairs or other work necessitated by fire, windstorm or other casualty (excluding any deductibles) and/or costs of repair or other work necessitated by the exercise of the right of eminent domain, to the extent insurance proceeds or a condemnation award, as applicable, is actually received by Landlord for such purposes; (vii) other than any interest charges as expressly provided for in this Lease, any interest or payments on any financing for any portion of the Project, interest and penalties incurred as a result of Landlord’s late payment of any invoice, and any bad debt loss, rent loss or reserves for same; (viii) any payments under a ground lease or master lease; (ix) costs incurred in connection with the sale, financing or refinancing of all or any portion of the Project; (x) any earthquake insurance deductible in excess of $75,000.00 per year, provided, however to the extent the deductible under Landlord’s earthquake insurance policy exceeds $75,000.00, such excess amount shall be amortized over ten (10) years, and Tenant shall be responsible for paying such amortized cost as an Operating Expense during the remaining Lease Term; (xi) any fines or penalties incurred due to violations by Landlord of any governmental rule or authority unless the same is caused by Tenant in which case the same shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant; (xii) costs associated with damage or repairs to the Project or Common Areas caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s employees, contractors or authorized agents; (xiii) legal fees, accountant fees and other expenses incurred in disputes with other former, current or future tenants or occupants of the Project, or associated with the enforcement of any other leases of space in the Project, or the defense of Landlord’s title to or interest in the Project or any part thereof; (xiv) any cost or expense occasioned by, or resulting from, any violation of law by any other tenant or occupant of the Project or their respective employees, agents, contractors and invitees, or by any person or entity other than Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors or invitees; and (xv) any cost or expense payable to any employee or agent of Landlord, or to any of Landlord’s affiliates or divisions, to the extent that such cost or expense is materially in excess of that which would be charged by a reputable third party person or firm for the same service; and (xvi) Tax Expenses.

4.2.2 “Systems and Equipment” shall mean any plant, machinery, transformers, duct work, cable, wires, and other equipment, facilities, and systems designed to supply heat, ventilation, air conditioning and humidity or any other services or utilities, or comprising or serving as any component or portion of the electrical, gas, steam, plumbing, sprinkler, communications, alarm, security, or fire/life safety systems or equipment, or any other mechanical, electrical, electronic, computer or other systems or equipment which serve the Real Property in whole or in part.

4.2.3 “Tax Expenses” shall mean all federal, state, county, or local governmental or municipal taxes, fees, assessments, charges or other impositions of every kind and nature, whether general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, (including, without limitation, real estate taxes, general and special assessments, parking and transit assessments, fees and taxes, child care subsidies, fees and/or assessments, park, recreation and school fees and/or assessments, open space fees and/or assessments, housing subsidies and/or housing fund fees or assessments, public art fees and/or assessments, leasehold taxes or taxes based upon the receipt of rent, including gross receipts or sales taxes applicable to the receipt of rent, personal property taxes imposed upon the fixtures, machinery, equipment, apparatus, systems and equipment, appurtenances, furniture and other personal property used in connection with the Building), which Landlord shall pay because of or in connection with the ownership, leasing and operation of the

 

8


Building or Landlord’s interest therein. For purposes of this Lease, Tax Expenses shall be calculated as if (i) the tenant improvements in the Building were fully constructed, and (ii) the Building and all tenant improvements therein were fully assessed for real estate tax purposes. If it shall not be lawful for Tenant to reimburse Landlord for all or any part of such Tax Expenses, the monthly rental payable to Landlord under this Lease shall be revised to net Landlord the same net rental after imposition of any such Tax Expenses by Landlord as would have been payable to Landlord prior to the payment of any such Tax Expenses.

4.2.3.1 Tax Expenses shall include, without limitation:

(i) Any tax on Landlord’s rent, right to rent or other income from the Building or as against Landlord’s business of leasing any of the Building;

(ii) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge in addition to, or in substitution, partially or totally, of any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge previously included within the definition of real property tax, it being acknowledged by Tenant and Landlord that Proposition 13 was adopted by the voters of the State of California in the June 1978 election (“Proposition 13”) and that assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges may be imposed by governmental agencies for such services as fire protection, street, sidewalk and road maintenance, refuse removal and for other governmental services formerly provided without charge to property owners or occupants. It is the intention of Tenant and Landlord that all such new and increased assessments, taxes, fees, levies, and charges and all similar assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges be included within the definition of Tax Expenses for purposes of this Lease, including, without limitation any increase in assessments, taxes, fees, levies, or charges resulting from a reassessment caused by or attributable to from a change in ownership of the Building or the Real Property, new construction or any other cause;

(iii) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy, or charge allocable to or measured by the area of the Premises or the rent payable hereunder, including, without limitation, any gross income tax upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operating, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises, or any portion thereof;

(iv) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge, upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party, creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises; and

(v) Any reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in attempting to protest, reduce or minimize Tax Expenses to the extent of a tax reduction as to Taxes for which Tenant is responsible.

4.2.3.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.2.3, there shall be excluded from Tax Expenses (i) all excess profits taxes, franchise taxes, gift taxes, capital stock taxes, inheritance and succession taxes, estate taxes, federal and state net income taxes, and other taxes to the extent applicable to Landlord’s net income (as opposed to rents, receipts or income attributable to operations at the Building), (ii) any items included as Operating Expenses or Utilities Costs, and (iii) any items paid by Tenant under Section 4.4 of this Lease.

4.2.4 “Tenant’s Share” shall mean the percentage set forth in Section 9.1 of the Summary. Tenant’s Share was calculated by dividing the number of rentable square feet of the Premises by the total rentable square feet in the Building (as set forth in Section 9.1 of the Summary) and stating such amount as a percentage. Landlord shall have the right from time to time to re-determine the rentable square feet of the Premises and/or Building, and Tenant’s Share shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any such redetermination. If Tenant’s Share is adjusted pursuant to the foregoing, as to the Expense Year in which such adjustment occurs, Tenant’s Share for such year shall be determined on the basis of the number of days during such Expense Year that each such Tenant’s Share was in effect.

4.2.5 “Utilities Costs” shall mean all actual charges for utilities for the Real Property which Landlord shall pay, including, but not limited to, the costs of water, sewer and electricity, and the costs of HVAC (including, the cost of electricity to operate the HVAC units) and other utilities as well as related fees, assessments and surcharges (but excluding those charges for which Tenant pays directly to the utility company). If Landlord shall

 

9


not provide any utilities (the cost of which, if provided by Landlord, would be included in Utilities Costs) to a tenant (including Tenant) who has undertaken to provide the same instead of Landlord, Utilities Costs shall be deemed to be increased by an amount equal to the additional Utilities Costs which would reasonably have been incurred during such period by Landlord if Landlord had at its own expense provided such utilities to such tenant. Utilities Costs shall include any costs of utilities which are allocated to the Building under any declaration, restrictive covenant, or other instrument pertaining to the sharing of costs by the Building or any portion thereof, including any covenants, conditions or restrictions now or hereafter recorded against or affecting the Building.

4.3 Calculation and Payment of Additional Rent.

4.3.1 Statement of Actual Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs and Payment by Tenant. Landlord shall endeavor to give to Tenant on or before the thirtieth (30th) day of June following the end of each calendar year during the Lease Term (each, an “Expense Year”), a statement (the “Statement”) which shall state the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs incurred or accrued for such preceding Expense Year. Upon receipt of the Statement for an Expense Year, Tenant shall pay within thirty (30) days following delivery of the Statement the full amount of the Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Expenses for such Expense Year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such Expense Year as “Estimated Expense Payments,” as that term is defined in Section 4.3.2 of this Lease. If, the Estimated Expense Payments made by Tenant for any Expense Year exceed the actual amount of the Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Expenses for such Expense Year, Landlord shall credit such excess to Tenant for sums then due or coming due hereunder or, at Landlord’s option, pay such excess to Tenant provided Tenant is not otherwise in default hereunder. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement shall not prejudice Landlord from enforcing its rights under this Article 4. The provisions of this Section 4.3.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.

4.3.2 Statement of Estimated Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs. In addition, Landlord shall endeavor to give Tenant, on or before March 1 of each calendar year during the Lease Term, a yearly expense estimate statement (the “Estimate Statement”) which shall set forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate (the “Estimate”) of what the total amount of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs allocated to the Building pursuant to Article 4 shall be and the estimated amount of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs (the “Estimated Expense Payments”) for such Expense Year. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate Statement for any Expense Year shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect any Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses or Utilities Costs under this Article 4. Upon delivery of the Estimate Statement, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due, a fraction of the Estimated Expense Payments for the then-current Expense Year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 4.3.2). Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year to the month of such payment, both months inclusive, and shall have twelve (12) as its denominator. Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished, Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total Estimated Expense Payments set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant.

4.4 Taxes and Other Charges for Which Tenant Is Directly Responsible. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any and all taxes or assessments required to be paid by Landlord (except to the extent included in Tax Expenses by Landlord), excluding state, local and federal personal or corporate income taxes measured by the net income of Landlord from all sources and estate and inheritance taxes, whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of the parties hereto, when:

4.4.1 Such taxes are measured by or reasonably attributable to the cost or value of Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property located in the Premises, or by the cost or value of any leasehold improvements made in or to the Premises by or for Tenant, to the extent the cost or value of such leasehold improvements exceeds the cost or value of a building standard build-out as determined by Landlord regardless of whether title to such improvements shall be vested in Tenant or Landlord;

4.4.2 Such taxes are assessed upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion of the Building; or

 

10


4.4.3 Such taxes are assessed upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.

4.5 Late Charges. If any installment of Rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee within five (5) days of the due date therefor, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of the amount due plus any attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s failure to pay Rent and/or other charges when due hereunder. The late charge shall be deemed Additional Rent and the right to require it shall be in addition to all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies hereunder, at law and/or in equity and shall not be construed as liquidated damages or as limiting Landlord’s remedies in any manner. In addition to the late charge described above, any Rent or other amounts owing hereunder which are not paid within five (5) days of the date that they are due shall thereafter bear interest until paid at a rate (the “Interest Rate”) equal to the lesser of (i) the “Prime Rate” or “Reference Rate” announced from time to time by the Bank of America (or such reasonable comparable national banking institution as selected by Landlord in the event Bank of America ceases to exist or publish a Prime Rate or Reference Rate), plus four percent (4%), or (ii) the highest rate permitted by applicable law. Regardless of the foregoing, Tenant shall be entitled to one (1) written five (5) day notice to cure during each calendar year prior to a late charge becoming due, and prior to interest accruing, and such late charge shall not be due, nor shall interest accrue, if Tenant so cures within such five (5) day period.

4.6 Tenant’s Audit Rights. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after receiving any Statement (the “Review Notice Period”), Tenant may give Landlord notice (“Review Notice”) stating that Tenant elects to review Landlord’s calculation of the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and/or Utilities Costs for the Expense Year to which such Statement applies and identifying with reasonable specificity the records of Landlord reasonably relating to such matters that Tenant desires to review. Within a reasonable time after receiving a timely Review Notice (and, at Landlord’s option, an executed confidentiality agreement as described below), Landlord shall deliver to Tenant, or make available for inspection at a location reasonably designated by Landlord within San Mateo County or Santa Clara County, copies of such records. Within sixty (60) days after such records are made available to Tenant (the “Objection Period”), Tenant may deliver to Landlord notice (an “Objection Notice”) stating with reasonable specificity any objections to the Statement, in which event Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith to resolve Tenant’s objections. Tenant may not deliver more than one Review Notice or more than one Objection Notice with respect to any Expense Year. If Tenant fails to give Landlord a Review Notice before the expiration of the Review Notice Period or fails to give Landlord an Objection Notice before the expiration of the Objection Period, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the Statement. If Tenant retains an agent to review Landlord’s records, the agent must be with a CPA firm licensed to do business in the State of California and its fees shall not be contingent, in whole or in part, upon the outcome of the review. Tenant shall be responsible for all costs of such review; provided, however, that if Landlord and Tenant determine that the sum of Operating Expenses, Taxes and Utilities Costs for the Expense Year in question was overstated by more than five percent (5%), Landlord, within thirty (30) days after receiving paid invoices therefor from Tenant, shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable amounts paid by Tenant to third parties in connection with such review (not to exceed $3,000.00). The records and any related information obtained from Landlord shall be treated as confidential, and as applicable only to the Premises, by Tenant, its auditors, consultants, and any other parties reviewing the same on behalf of Tenant (collectively, “Tenant’s Auditors”). Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, Tenant may not examine Landlord’s records or dispute any Statement if any Rent remains unpaid past its due date. If, for any Expense Year, Landlord and Tenant determine that the sum of Tenant’s Share of the actual Operating Expenses, plus Tenant’s Share of the actual Tax Expenses, plus Tenant’s Share of Utilities Costs, is less or more than the amount reported, Tenant shall receive a credit in the amount of its overpayment against Rent then or next due hereunder, or pay Landlord the amount of its underpayment with the Rent next due hereunder; provided, however, that if this Lease has expired or terminated and Tenant has vacated the Premises, Landlord shall pay Tenant the amount of its overpayment (less any Rent due), or Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of its underpayment, within thirty (30) days after such determination.

ARTICLE 5

USE OF PREMISES

Tenant may use the Premises solely for general office, research and development and other legal uses (the “Acceptable Uses”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant understands and acknowledges that use of the Premises is ultimately limited by, among other things, applicable Laws (as defined below), specifically including, without limitation, zoning ordinances of the City of Palo Alto, and Landlord makes no representation or warranty with regard to whether any prospective use of the Premises (including, without limitation, the Acceptable Uses) is permitted under applicable Laws. Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for obtaining all permits and/or other approvals that may be required by the City of Palo Alto or other governmental agencies with respect to Tenant’s use of, and/or Tenant’s business operations to be conducted in the Premises. Landlord nonetheless consents to use of the Premises solely for the Acceptable Uses (and for no other uses whatsoever), subject to compliance by Tenant with all applicable Laws and with the other provisions of this Lease. If Tenant’s use requires a conditional use permit, upon Landlord’s request from time to time, Tenant shall immediately provide Landlord with evidence reasonably acceptable to Landlord that Tenant’s use of the Premises complies with applicable Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, Tenant further covenants and agrees that it shall not use, or suffer or permit any person or persons to use, the Premises or any part thereof for any use or purpose contrary to the provisions of Exhibit D (or any reasonable modifications thereto of which Tenant has notice), attached hereto, or in violation of the laws, statutes, regulations, rules and policies of the United States of America, the state of California, or the ordinances, regulations or requirements of the local municipal or county governing body or other lawful authorities having jurisdiction over the Building, including, without limitation, the ordinances, regulations, rules, requirements and other Laws of the City (collectively, “Laws”). Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Alterations made by or for Tenant, promptly after completing the Alterations and receipt of the final permit signoff from the City, Tenant shall apply for, diligently pursue, and obtain from the City within thirty (30) days after final permit signoff a permanent certificate of occupancy if applicable. Tenant shall comply with all recorded covenants, conditions, and restrictions, and the provisions of all ground or underlying leases, now or hereafter affecting the Building. Tenant shall at all times maintain the Premises in a clean, neat, sanitary and orderly condition. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done in or about the Premises or the Real Property, or bring or keep or permit to be brought or kept in or about the Premises or the Real Property, anything which is prohibited by or will in any way increase the existing rate of (or otherwise affect) fire or any insurance covering the Premises or the Real Property or any part thereof, or any of its contents, or will cause a cancellation of any insurance covering the Premises or the Real Property or any part thereof, or any of its contents. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything in, on or about the Premises or the Real Property which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the Building or neighboring premises or injure or annoy them, or use or allow the Premises to be used for any unlawful or objectionable purpose, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain or permit any nuisance in, on or about the Premises. Tenant shall not permit occupancy levels in the Premises in violation of Laws. No sale by auction shall be permitted on the Premises. Tenant shall not place any loads upon the floors, walls, or ceiling which endanger the structure, or place any harmful fluids or other materials in the drainage system of the Building, or overload existing electrical or other mechanical systems. No waste materials or refuse shall be dumped upon or permitted to remain upon any part of the Premises or outside of the Building in which the Premises are a part, except in trash containers placed inside exterior enclosures designated by Landlord for that purpose or inside of the Building proper where designated by Landlord. No materials, supplies, equipment, finished products or semi-finished products, raw materials or articles of any nature shall be stored upon or permitted to remain outside the Premises. Tenant shall not place anything or allow anything to be placed near the glass of any window, door partition or wall which may appear unsightly from outside the Premises. No loudspeaker or other device, system or apparatus which can be heard outside the Premises shall be used in or at the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord. All noise generated by Tenant in its use of the Premises shall be confined or muffled so that it does not unreasonably interfere with the businesses of or unreasonably annoy the occupants and/or users of other properties or premises. Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste in or upon the Premises. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless against any loss, expense, damage, reasonable attorneys’ fees, or liability arising out of failure of Tenant to comply with any applicable law with which Tenant is obligated to comply under the terms of this Lease.

ARTICLE 6

SERVICES AND UTILITIES

6.1 Standard Tenant Services. Tenant shall obtain all water, electricity, sewerage, gas, telephone and other utilities for the Premises directly from the public utility company(ies) furnishing same.

 

12


6.2 Interruption of Use. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for damages, by abatement of Rent or otherwise, for failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any service (including telephone and telecommunication services), or for any diminution in the quality or quantity thereof, when such failure or delay or diminution is occasioned, in whole or in part, by repairs, replacements, or improvements, by any strike, lockout or other labor trouble, by inability to secure electricity, gas, water, or other fuel at the Real Property after reasonable effort to do so, by any accident or casualty whatsoever, by act or default of Tenant or other parties, or by any other cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control; and such failures or delays or diminution shall never be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises or relieve Tenant from paying Rent or performing any of its obligations under this Lease. Furthermore, Landlord shall not be liable under any circumstances for a loss of, or injury to, property or for injury to, or interference with, Tenant’s business, including, without limitation, loss of profits, however occurring, through or in connection with or incidental to a failure to furnish any of the services or utilities as set forth in this Article 6, if any. If all or any portion of the Leased Premises is made untenantable or inaccessible for more than three (3) consecutive business days after notice from Tenant to Landlord by an interruption of services which is caused by the negligence of Landlord or its employees, agents or contractors and is in the reasonable control of Landlord or its employees, agents or contractors, Base Rent shall abate for the period beginning on the day immediately following such 3-business-day period and ending on the day such service interruption ends, but only in proportion to the percentage of the rentable square footage of the Premises made untenantable or inaccessible.

6.3 Controls. In the event any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Real Property or the Building promulgates or revises any legal requirement or building, fire or other code or imposes mandatory or voluntary controls or guidelines on Landlord or the Real Property or the Building relating to the use or conservation of energy, water, or other utilities or the reduction of automobile or other emissions (collectively, “Controls”) or in the event Landlord is required or elects to make alterations to the Real Property or the Building in order to comply with such mandatory or voluntary Controls, Landlord may, in its sole discretion, comply with such Controls or make such alterations to the Real Property or the Building related thereto. Such compliance and the making of such alterations shall not constitute an eviction of Tenant, constructive or otherwise, or impose upon Landlord any liability whatsoever, including, but not limited to, liability for consequential damages or loss of business by Tenant. For purposes of the foregoing, “voluntary” Controls shall mean those controls or guidelines that are not mandated by applicable Legal Requirements but that, in Landlord’s good faith and commercially reasonable business judgment, are appropriate for adoption. Costs incurred by Landlord in connection with implementation of mandatory or voluntary Controls shall be included in Operating Expenses.

ARTICLE 7

REPAIRS

7.1 Tenant’s Repairs. Subject to Landlord’s repair obligations in Sections 7.2 and 11.1 below, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s own expense, keep the Building, including all improvements, fixtures and furnishings therein, in good order, repair and condition at all times during the Lease Term, which repair obligations shall include, without limitation, the obligation to promptly and adequately repair all damage to the Premises and replace or repair all damaged or broken fixtures and appurtenances. Tenant’s maintenance, repair and replacement responsibilities herein referred to include, but are not limited to, janitorial service, plumbing systems within or serving the Premises (such as water and drain lines, sinks), mechanical systems and electrical systems within the Premises (such as outlets, lighting fixtures, lamps, bulbs, tubes, ballasts), and all interior improvements within the Premises including but not limited to wall coverings, window coverings, acoustical ceilings, tile, carpeting, flooring, partitioning, doors (both interior and exterior, including closing mechanisms, latches and locks), skylights (if any), and all other interior improvements of any nature whatsoever. With respect to the kitchen area, Tenant shall maintain air filtration devices in good condition and repair and in a manner that does not permit smoke, fumes or odors to disturb neighboring properties or the general public. Areas of excessive wear shall be replaced at Tenant’s sole expense upon Lease termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at Landlord’s option, or if Tenant fails to make any such repairs, Landlord may, but need not, make such repairs and replacements, and Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost thereof, including a percentage of the cost thereof (to be uniformly established for the Building) sufficient to reimburse Landlord for the cost of the same. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Lease, in the event any maintenance, repair and/or replacement responsibility of Tenant would require Tenant to incur a capital expenditure pursuant to generally accepted accounting practices, then at Tenant’s request, Landlord shall perform such work and the cost thereof shall be passed through as an Operating Expense in accordance with Section 4.2.1(xiii) above, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord each month the monthly amortized amount (with interest) over the remaining term of this Lease.

 

13


7.2 Landlord’s Repairs. Anything contained in Section 7.1 above to the contrary notwithstanding, and subject to Articles 11 and 12 of this Lease, Landlord (and not Tenant) shall repair and maintain the structural portions of the Project and Building (including, without limitation, the foundation, structural walls and the structural portions of the roof), at Landlord’s sole cost. In addition, Landlord shall repair, maintain and replace, the HVAC system, all life safety systems, all underground utility facilities and systems, and all utility facilities and systems to the extent located outside of the Premises, and the cost thereof shall be reimbursable to Landlord by Tenant as an Operating Expense. Landlord shall also maintain and repair the roof membrane and any non-structural elements of the roof of the Building, the parking areas, driveways, patios and the landscaping on the Real Property, and the cost thereof shall be reimbursable to Landlord by Tenant as an Operating Expense. There shall be no abatement of rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations or improvements in or to any portion of the Real Property or the Premises or in or to fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein. Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of any defect or need of repairs or maintenance for which Landlord is responsible. Landlord shall have a reasonable time after receipt of such notice the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times to perform such repair and maintenance. Tenant hereby waives and releases its right to make repairs at Landlord’s expense under Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code or under any similar law, statute, or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.

ARTICLE 8

ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS

8.1 Landlord’s Consent to Alterations. Tenant may not make any improvements, alterations, additions or changes to the Premises (collectively, the “Alterations”) without first procuring the prior written consent of Landlord to such Alterations, which consent shall be requested by Tenant not less than thirty (30) days prior to the commencement thereof, and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by Landlord; provided, however, Landlord may withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion with respect to any Alterations which may affect the structural components of the Building or the Systems and Equipment or which can be seen from outside the Premises. Tenant shall pay for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs and expenses of the Alterations, and shall pay to Landlord a Landlord supervision fee of five percent (5%) of the cost of the Alterations if the Alterations exceed $20,000. The construction of the Tenant Improvements shall be governed by the terms of the Work Letter and not the terms of this Article 8. Tenant agrees not to employ any person, entity or contractor for any work in the Premises for a particular trade (including movers engaged in moving Tenant’s equipment and furnishings in, out or around the Premises) whose presence may give rise to a labor or other disturbance in the Building. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, so long as Tenant’s written request for consent for a proposed Alteration requests whether or not Landlord will require such Alteration to be removed upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease (as allowed Landlord pursuant to Sections 15.2 and 8.3 below) Landlord shall so notify Tenant at the time of consent if consent is given whether or not Landlord will require that such Alteration be removed upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. If Landlord fails to notify Tenant within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s receipt of such notice whether Tenant shall be required to remove the subject Alterations at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, it shall be assumed that Landlord shall require the removal of such Alterations. However, if Tenant’s written notice strictly complies with the foregoing and if Landlord fails to notify Tenant within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s receipt of such notice whether Tenant shall be required to remove the subject alterations or improvements at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant may, within fifteen (15) days following the expiration of the thirty (30) day period described above, provide to Landlord a second written notice (the “Second Notice”) in compliance with the foregoing requirements but also stating in large, bold and capped font the following: “THIS IS TENANT’S SECOND NOTICE TO LANDLORD. LANDLORD FAILED TO RESPOND TO TENANT’S FIRST NOTICE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF SECTION 8.1 OF THE LEASE. IF LANDLORD FAILS TO RESPOND TO THIS NOTICE IN FIFTEEN DAYS WITH RESPECT TO THE WHETHER OR NOT LANDLORD WILL REQUIRE SUCH ALTERATIONS TO BE REMOVED AT THE EXPIRATION OR EARLIER TERMINATION OF THE LEASE, TENANT SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO REMOVE SUCH ALTERATIONS”. If (a) Tenant’s Second Notice strictly complies with the terms of this Section, and (b) Landlord fails to notify Tenant within fifteen (15) days of Landlord’s receipt of such Second Notice, it shall be assumed that Landlord shall not require the removal of the subject Alteration at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

8.2 Manner of Construction. Landlord may impose, as a condition of its consent to all Alterations or repairs of the Premises or about the Premises, such requirements as Landlord in its reasonable discretion may deem desirable, including, but not limited to, the requirement that Tenant utilize for such purposes only contractors, materials, mechanics and materialmen approved by Landlord; provided, however, Landlord may impose such requirements as Landlord may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, with respect to any work affecting the structural components of the Building or Systems and Equipment (including designating specific contractors to perform such work). As a condition to Landlord’s obligation to consider any request for consent to any Alterations, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of invoices for the reasonable out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses of consultants, engineers, architects and others for reasonable review of plans and specifications for the construction of the proposed Alterations. Tenant shall construct such Alterations and perform such repairs in conformance with any and all applicable rules and regulations of any federal, state, county or municipal code or ordinance and pursuant to a valid building permit, issued by the City, and in conformance with Landlord’s construction rules and regulations. Landlord’s approval of the plans, specifications and working drawings for Tenant’s Alterations shall create no responsibility or liability on the part of Landlord for their completeness, design sufficiency, or compliance with all laws, rules and regulations of governmental agencies or authorities. All work with respect to any Alterations must be done in a good and workmanlike manner and diligently prosecuted to completion to the end that the Premises shall at all times be a complete unit except during the period of work. If Tenant makes any Alterations, Tenant agrees to carry “Builder’s All Risk” insurance in an amount approved by Landlord covering the construction of such Alterations, and such other insurance as Landlord may require, it being understood and agreed that all of such Alterations shall be insured by Tenant pursuant to Article 10 of this Lease immediately upon completion thereof. In addition, Landlord may, in its discretion, require Tenant to obtain a lien and completion bond or some alternate form of security satisfactory to Landlord in an amount sufficient to ensure the lien-free completion of such Alterations and naming Landlord as a co-obligee if the cost of the work shall exceed $100,000. Upon completion of any Alterations, Tenant shall (i) cause a Notice of Completion to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of the county in which the Building is located in accordance with Section 8182 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any successor statute, (ii) deliver to the management office of the Building a reproducible copy of the “as built” drawings of the Alterations, and (iii) deliver to Landlord evidence of payment, contractors’ affidavits and full and final waivers of all liens for labor, services or materials.

8.3 Landlord’s Property. All Alterations, fixtures and/or equipment (excluding trade fixtures, removable equipment, and personal property) which may be installed or placed in or about the Premises and all signs installed in, on or about the Premises, from time to time, shall be at the sole cost of Tenant and shall be and become the property of Landlord. However, Landlord by written notice to Tenant at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the Lease Term, may require that Tenant remove any Alteration (including any cabling or wiring installed by Tenant as part of such Alterations) upon the expiration or early termination of the Lease Term and repair any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal. If Tenant fails to complete such removal and/or to repair any damage caused by the removal of any Alterations (including any cabling and wiring associated with any telephone system or network installed), Landlord may do so and may charge the cost thereof to Tenant (together with a five percent (5%) supervision/administration fee), and Tenant shall pay such cost to Landlord within thirty (30) days of being billed for the same.

8.4 Removal of Communications and Computer Lines. Tenant may install, maintain, replace, remove or use any communications or computer wires and cables (collectively, the “Lines”) at the Project in or exclusively serving the Premises, provided that (i) Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s prior written consent, use an experienced and qualified contractor approved in writing by Landlord, and comply with all of the other provisions of Articles 7 and 8 of this Lease, (ii) if applicable, an acceptable number of spare Lines and space for additional Lines shall be maintained for existing and future occupants of the Building, as determined in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, (iii) all Lines (including riser cables) shall be appropriately labeled and insulated to prevent excessive electromagnetic fields or radiation, and shall be surrounded by a protective conduit reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (iv) any new or existing Lines servicing the Premises shall comply with all applicable Laws, (v) as a condition to permitting the installation of new Lines, Landlord may require that Tenant remove existing Lines located in or serving the Premises, and repair any damage in connection with such removal, and (vi) Tenant shall pay all costs in connection therewith. Landlord reserves the right to require that Tenant remove any Lines located in or serving the Premises which are installed in violation of these provisions, or which are at any time in violation of any Laws or represent a dangerous or potentially dangerous condition. Landlord further reserves the right to require that Tenant remove any and all Lines installed by Tenant or any person claiming by, through or under Tenant located in or exclusively serving the Premises upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term. The provisions of this Section 8.4 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE 9

COVENANT AGAINST LIENS

Tenant has no authority or power to cause or permit any lien or encumbrance of any kind whatsoever, whether created by act of Tenant, operation of law or otherwise, to attach to or be placed upon the Premises, Building or the Real Property, and any and all liens and encumbrances created by Tenant shall attach to Tenant’s interest only. Landlord shall have the right at all times to post and keep posted on the Premises any notice which it deems necessary for protection from such liens. Tenant covenants and agrees not to suffer or permit any lien of mechanics or materialmen or others to be placed against the Building or the Real Property with respect to work or services claimed to have been performed for or materials claimed to have been furnished to Tenant or the Premises, and, in case of any such lien attaching or notice of any lien, Tenant covenants and agrees to cause it to be immediately released and removed of record. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, if any such lien is not released and removed on or before the date notice of such lien is delivered by Landlord to Tenant, Landlord, at its sole option, may immediately take all action necessary to release and remove such lien, without any duty to investigate the validity thereof, and all sums, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Landlord in connection with such lien shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease and shall immediately be due and payable by Tenant. If required by the title insurance company insuring title to the Project in connection with a prospective sale or financing of the Project, Tenant shall execute and deliver to the title company a mechanics’ lien indemnity agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Tenant and the Title Company with respect to any mechanics’ or suppliers’ liens created as the result of work or materials furnished to the Premises contracted by or through Tenant.

ARTICLE 10

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

10.1 Indemnification and Waiver. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Tenant hereby assumes all risk of damage to property and injury to persons, in, on, or about the Premises from any cause whatsoever and agrees that Landlord, and its direct and indirect members, shareholders, partners, managers, principals, and their respective officers, agents, property managers, servants, employees, and independent contractors (collectively, “Landlord Parties”) shall not be liable for, and are hereby released from any responsibility for, any damage to property or injury to persons or resulting from the loss of use thereof, which damage or injury is sustained by Tenant or by other persons claiming through Tenant; provided, however, that the terms of the foregoing waiver shall not apply to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord and its employees, contractors and agents. To the maximum extent permitted by Law, Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from any and all loss, cost, damage, expense and liability (including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with or arising from: (i) any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease, (ii) any cause in, on or about the Premises (including, without limitation, Tenant’s installation, placement and removal of Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment in, on or about the Premises), and/or (iii) any acts, omissions or negligence of Tenant or of any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, or of the contractors, agents, servants, employees, licensees or invitees of Tenant or any such person, in, on or about the Premises, the Building and/or Real Property; provided, however, that the terms of the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord and its employees, contractors and agents. The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

10.2 Tenant’s Compliance with Landlord’s Fire and Casualty Insurance. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, comply as to the Premises with all insurance company requirements pertaining to the use of the Premises. Tenant shall not conduct nor permit any other person to conduct any activities nor keep, store or use (or allow any other person to keep, store or use) any item or thing within the Premises, the Building or the Real Property which (i) is prohibited under the terms of any such policies, (ii) could result in the termination of the coverage afforded under any of such policies, or (iii) could give to the insurance carrier the right to cancel any of such policies. If Tenant’s conduct or use of the Premises causes any increase in the premium for such insurance policies, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any such increase. Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations or requirements of the American Insurance Association (formerly the National Board of Fire Underwriters) and with any similar body.

17


Tenant shall fail to procure such insurance, or to deliver such policies or certificate, within such time periods, Landlord may, at its option, in addition to all of its other rights and remedies under this Lease, and without regard to any notice and cure periods set forth in Section 19.1. procure such policies for the account of Tenant, and the cost thereof shall be paid to Landlord as Additional Rent within ten (10) days after delivery of bills therefor.

For the purposes of this waiver, any deductible with respect to a party’s insurance shall be deemed covered by and recoverable by such party under valid and collectable policies of insurance. This waiver shall be ineffective against any insurer of Landlord or Tenant to the extent that such waiver is prohibited by the laws and insurance regulations of the State of California.

10.6 Additional Insurance Obligations. Tenant shall carry and maintain during the entire Lease Term, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, increased amounts of the insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Article 10. and such other reasonable types of insurance coverage and in such reasonable amounts covering the Premises and Tenant’s operations therein, as may be reasonably requested by Landlord.

ARTICLE 11

DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION

11.1 Repair of Damage to Premises by Landlord. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any damage to the Premises resulting from fire or any other casualty. If the Premises or the Real Property serving or providing access to the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, and subject to all other terms of this Article 11, restore the Premises and the Real Property. Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition of the Premises and the Real Property prior to the casualty. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, upon the occurrence of any damage to the Premises, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant’s insurance required under Section 10.3 of this Lease, and Landlord shall repair any injury or damage to the tenant improvements and alterations installed in the Premises and shall return such tenant improvements and alterations to their original condition; provided that if the cost of such repair by Landlord exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Tenant’s insurance carrier, as assigned by Tenant, the cost of such repairs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to Landlord’s repair of the damage. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall Landlord be obligated to repair or restore any specialized or dedicated equipment serving Tenant, such as any cabling, wiring, supplemental utility system, telephone system or wireless/Wi-Fi Network and any insurance of Tenant applicable to the same shall not be assigned to Landlord. In connection with such repairs and replacements, Tenant shall, prior to the commencement of construction, submit to Landlord, for Landlord’s review and approval, all plans, specifications and working drawings relating thereto, and obtain Landlord’s consent to the contractors for such work such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant’s business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof. If fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises, Tenant shall be entitled to an equitable abatement of Base Rent, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs based on the ratio that the square footage of the portion of the Premises that are so rendered reasonably unusable for Tenant’s business bears to the total square footage of the Premises.

 

18


11.2 Landlord’s Option to Repair. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 11.1 of this Lease, Landlord may elect not to rebuild and/or restore the Premises, the Building and/or any other portion of the Real Property and instead terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after the date of damage, such notice to include a termination date giving Tenant ninety (90) days to vacate the Premises, but Landlord may so elect only if the Building shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause, whether or not the Premises are affected, and one or more of the following conditions is present: (i) repairs cannot reasonably be completed within two hundred seventy (270) days of the date of damage (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums); or (ii) the holder of any mortgage on the Building or ground or underlying lessor with respect to the Building and/or the Real Property shall require that the insurance proceeds or any portion thereof be used to retire the mortgage debt (and shall have the legal right to do so without the consent of Landlord), or shall terminate the ground or underlying lease, as the case may be; or (iii) the damage is not fully covered, except for deductible amounts, by Landlord’s insurance policies; provided, however, Tenant may elect by written notice to Landlord to cover any amount not covered by Landlord’s insurance policy, and if Tenant makes such election, Landlord shall not have the right to terminate this Lease, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord such amounts within thirty (30) days after Tenant makes such election. In addition, if the Premises or the Building is destroyed or damaged to any substantial extent during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term, then notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 11, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Tenant of the exercise of such option within thirty (30) days after such damage or destruction (unless Tenant has an option to extend and so exercises such option prior to the expiration of such notice) in which event this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of such notice. Upon any such termination of this Lease pursuant to this Section 11.2, Tenant shall pay the Base Rent and Additional Rent, properly apportioned up to such date of termination, provided, however, Tenant shall be entitled to an equitable abatement of Base Rent, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs based on the ratio that the square footage of the portion of the Premises that are so rendered reasonably unusable for Tenant’s business bears to the total square footage of the Premises, and both parties hereto shall thereafter be freed and discharged of all further obligations hereunder, except as provided for in provisions of this Lease which by their terms survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.

11.3 Tenant’s Right to Terminate. Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease following damage to or destruction of the Premises if any of the following occurs: (i) the Premises cannot, with reasonable diligence, be fully repaired by Landlord within two hundred seventy (270) days after the date of the damage or destruction; and/or (ii) the Premises are destroyed or damaged during the last twelve (12) months of the Term. If Tenant elects to terminate this Lease, Tenant may give Landlord written notice of its election to terminate this Lease, such election to be made by Tenant not later than thirty (30) days after Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of a written notice setting forth Landlord’s good faith estimate as to the time that will be required to repair such damage or destruction (which notice shall be delivered to Tenant no later than thirty (30) days following the date that Landlord has knowledge of such damage or destruction), and, in the event of such a termination by Tenant, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of the casualty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event this Lease is not terminated by either Landlord or Tenant and the restoration is not completed by Landlord within one hundred eighty (180) days after the original estimated date of completion, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to Landlord, and this Lease shall terminate upon the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period in the event Landlord has not completed the restoration prior to the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period.

11.4 Waiver of Statutory Provisions. The provisions of this Lease, including this Article 11, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Real Property, and any statute or regulation of the state of California, including, without limitation, Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement between the parties, and any other statute or regulation, now or hereafter in effect, shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Real Property. No endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any payment of Base Rent or such other sums shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept any such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to receive payment of the balance of such rent and/or other sums, or Landlord’s right to pursue Landlord’s remedies.

 

19


ARTICLE 12

CONDEMNATION

12.1 Permanent Taking. If the whole or any part of the Premises, Building or the Real Property shall be taken by power of eminent domain or condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or if any adjacent property or street shall be so taken or condemned, or reconfigured or vacated by such authority in such manner as to require the use, reconstruction or remodeling of any part of the Premises, Building or the Real Property, or if Landlord shall grant a deed or other instrument in lieu of such taking by eminent domain or condemnation, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days’ notice, provided such notice is given no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such taking, condemnation, reconfiguration, vacation, deed or other instrument. If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the rentable square feet of the Premises is taken, or if access to the Premises is substantially impaired, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days’ notice, provided such notice is given no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such taking. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award or payment in connection therewith, except that Tenant shall have the right to file any separate claim available to Tenant for any taking of Tenant’s personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by Tenant upon expiration of the Lease Term pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and for moving expenses, so long as such claim does not diminish the award available to Landlord, its ground lessor with respect to the Building or its mortgagee, and such claim is payable separately to Tenant. All Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination, or the date of such taking, whichever shall first occur. If any part of the Premises shall be taken, and this Lease shall not be so terminated, the Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs shall be proportionately abated. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

12.2 Temporary Taking. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 12, in the event of a temporary taking of all or any portion of the Premises for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days or less, then this Lease shall not terminate but the Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs shall be equitably abated for the period of such taking based upon the interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award made in connection with any such temporary taking except that Tenant shall have the right to file any separate claim available to a Tenant for any taking.

ARTICLE 13

COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT

Landlord covenants that Tenant, on paying the Rent, charges for services and other payments herein reserved and on keeping, observing and performing all the other terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements herein contained on the part of Tenant to be kept, observed and performed, shall, during the Lease Term, peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises subject to the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements hereof without interference by any persons lawfully claiming by or through Landlord. The foregoing covenant is in lieu of any other covenant express or implied.

ARTICLE 14

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

14.1 Transfers. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or permit any lien to attach to, or otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest hereunder, permit any assignment or other such foregoing transfer of this Lease or any interest hereunder by operation of law, sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use of the Premises by any persons other than Tenant and its employees (all of the foregoing are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as “Transfers” and any person to whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a “Transferee”). If Tenant shall desire Landlord’s consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing, which notice (the “Transfer Notice”) shall include (i) the proposed effective date of the Transfer, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of delivery of the Transfer Notice, (ii) a description of the

 

20


portion of the Premises to be transferred (the “Subject Space”), (iii) all of the terms of the proposed Transfer, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy of all existing and/or proposed documentation pertaining to the proposed Transfer, including all existing operative documents to be executed to evidence such Transfer or the agreements incidental or related to such Transfer, (iv) current financial statements of the proposed Transferee certified by an officer, partner or owner thereof, and (v) such other information as Landlord may reasonably require. Tenant’s delivery of a Transfer Notice to Landlord shall constitute a representation and warranty by Tenant to Landlord that the information contained in or delivered pursuant to the Transfer Notice is true, correct and complete in all material respects, including the amount of all rent and other consideration to be paid pursuant to the operative agreements relating to the Transfer. Any Transfer made without Landlord’s prior written consent shall, at Landlord’s option, be null, void and of no effect, and shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease. Each time Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to a proposed Transfer, whether or not Landlord shall grant consent, within thirty (30) days after written request by Landlord, as Additional Rent hereunder, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any reasonable legal fees incurred by Landlord in connection with Tenant’s proposed Transfer.

14.2 Landlord’s Consent. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed Transfer of the Subject Space to the Transferee on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice. The parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following apply, without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent:

14.2.1 The Transferee is of a character or reputation or engaged in a business which is not consistent with the quality of the Building;

14.2.2 The Transferee intends to use the Subject Space for purposes which are not permitted under this Lease;

14.2.3 The Transferee is either a governmental agency or instrumentality thereof;

14.2.4 The Transfer will result in more than a reasonable and safe number of occupants in the Premises;

14.2.5 The Transferee is not a party of reasonable financial worth and/or financial stability that has and will continue to have sufficient financial strength to perform all of the remaining obligations of Tenant under the Lease from and after the date of transfer, as reasonably determined by Landlord taking into account all relevant facts and circumstances;

14.2.6 The proposed Transfer would cause Landlord to be in violation of another lease or agreement to which Landlord is a party;

14.2.7 The terms of the proposed Transfer will allow the Transferee to exercise a right of renewal, right of expansion, right of first offer, or other similar right held by Tenant (or will allow the Transferee to occupy space leased by Tenant pursuant to any such right); or

14.2.8 Either the proposed Transferee, or any person or entity which directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the proposed Transferee, (i) is negotiating with Landlord to lease space in the Building at such time, or (ii) has negotiated with Landlord during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Transfer Notice.

If Landlord consents to any Transfer pursuant to the terms of this Section 14.2 (and does not exercise any recapture rights Landlord may have under Section 14.4 of this Lease), Tenant may within three (3) months after Landlord’s consent, but not later than the expiration of such three (3) month period, enter into such Transfer of the Premises or portion thereof, upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Transfer Notice furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 14.1 of this Lease, provided that if there are any changes in the terms and conditions from those specified in the Transfer Notice (i) such that Landlord would initially have been entitled to refuse its consent to such Transfer under this Section 14.2, or (ii) which would cause the proposed Transfer to be more favorable to the Transferee than the terms set forth in Tenant’s original Transfer Notice, Tenant shall again submit the Transfer to Landlord for its approval and other action under this Article 14 (including Landlord’s right of recapture, if any, under Section 14.4 of this Lease).

14.3 Transfer Premium. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, as a condition thereto which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of any “Transfer Premium,” as that term is defined in this Section 14.3, received by Tenant from such Transferee. “Transfer Premium” shall mean all rent, additional rent or other consideration payable by such Transferee in excess of the Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease (on a per rentable square foot basis if less than all of the Premises is transferred), after deducting the reasonable expenses (collectively, the “Reasonable Transfer Costs”) incurred by Tenant for (i) reasonable third party legal fees, and (ii) any reasonable brokerage commissions in connection with the Transfer. “Transfer Premium” shall also include, but not be limited to, key money and bonus money paid by Transferee to Tenant in connection with such Transfer, and any payment in excess of fair market value for services rendered by Tenant to Transferee or for assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment, or furniture transferred by Tenant to Transferee in connection with such Transfer. In the case of a Transfer other than an assignment of Tenant’s entire interest in the Lease and Premises, Reasonable Transfer Costs shall be amortized on a straight line basis, without interest, over the initial term of the Transfer.

14.4 Landlord’s Option as to Subject Space. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14, Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of any Transfer Notice, to recapture the Subject Space. Such recapture notice shall cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to the Subject Space as of the date stated in the Transfer Notice as the effective date of the proposed Transfer until the last day of the term of the Transfer as set forth in the Transfer Notice. If this Lease shall be canceled with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Rent reserved herein shall be prorated on the basis of the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant in proportion to the number of rentable square feet contained in the Premises, and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect. If Landlord declines, or fails to elect in a timely manner to recapture the Subject Space under this Section 14.4, then, provided Landlord has consented to the proposed Transfer, Tenant shall be entitled to proceed to transfer the Subject Space to the proposed Transferee, subject to provisions of the last paragraph of Section 14.2 of this Lease. Tenant hereby waives any right to terminate the Lease and/or recover damages as remedies for Landlord wrongfully withholding its consent to any Transfer and agrees that Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy therefor shall be to seek specific performance of Landlord’s obligation to consent to such Transfer.

14.5 Effect of Transfer. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, (i) the terms and conditions of this Lease shall in no way be deemed to have been waived or modified, (ii) such consent shall not be deemed consent to any further Transfer by either Tenant or a Transferee, (iii) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, promptly after execution, an original executed copy of all documentation pertaining to the Transfer in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and (iv) no Transfer relating to this Lease or agreement entered into with respect thereto, whether with or without Landlord’s consent, shall relieve Tenant or any guarantor of the Lease from liability under this Lease. Landlord or its authorized representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times to audit the books, records and papers of Tenant relating to any Transfer, and shall have the right to make copies thereof. If the Transfer Premium respecting any Transfer shall be found understated, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after demand, pay the deficiency and Landlord’s costs of such audit.

14.6 Additional Transfers. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Transfer” shall also include (i) if Tenant is a partnership or limited liability company, the withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of fifty percent (50%) or more of the partners or members, or transfer of twenty-five percent or more of partnership or membership interests, within a twelve (12) month period, or the dissolution of the partnership or limited liability company without immediate reconstitution thereof, and (ii) if Tenant is a corporation whose stock is not publicly held and not traded through a nationally or internationally recognized stock exchange, (A) the dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant, (B) the sale or other transfer of more than an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) of the voting shares of Tenant (other than to immediate family members by reason of gift or death), within a twelve (12)-month period, or (C) the sale, mortgage, hypothecation or pledge of more than an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) of the value of the unencumbered assets of Tenant within a twelve (12) month period.

14.7 Affiliated Companies/Restructuring of Business Organization. The assignment or subletting by Tenant of all or any portion of this Lease or the Premises to (i) a parent or subsidiary of Tenant, or (ii) any person or entity which controls, is controlled by or under common control with Tenant, or (iii) any entity which purchases all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, or (iv) any entity into which Tenant is merged or consolidated (all such persons or entities described in (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) being sometimes hereinafter referred to as “Affiliates”) shall not be deemed a Transfer under this Article 14 (and shall not require Landlord’s consent or trigger a recapture right or any right to a Transfer Premium), provided that:

14.7.1 any such Affiliate was not formed as a subterfuge to avoid the obligations of this Article 14;

14.7.2 Tenant gives Landlord prior notice of any such assignment or sublease to an Affiliate (unless prohibited by applicable Law, in which case, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice promptly after the completion of such assignment, sublease or other Transfer;

14.7.3 Any such Affiliate has, as of the effective date of any such assignment or sublease, a tangible net worth computed in accordance with standard commercial real estate accounting practices (but excluding goodwill as an asset), which is equal to or greater than Tenant as of the effective date of any such assignment or sublease and sufficient to meet the obligations of Tenant under this Lease;

14.7.4 Any such assignment or sublease shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease, and, except in the case of a merger or consolidation, such assignee or sublessee shall assume all the obligations of Tenant under this Lease in a written document reasonably satisfactory to Landlord; and

14.7.5 Tenant shall remain fully liable for all obligations to be performed by Tenant under this Lease.

ARTICLE 15

SURRENDER; OWNERSHIP AND REMOVAL OF TRADE FIXTURES

15.1 Surrender of Premises. No act or thing done by Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord during the Lease Term shall be deemed to constitute an acceptance by Landlord of a surrender of the Premises unless such intent is specifically acknowledged in a writing signed by Landlord. The delivery of keys to the Premises to Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord shall not constitute a surrender of the Premises or effect a termination of this Lease, whether or not the keys are thereafter retained by Landlord, and notwithstanding such delivery Tenant shall be entitled to the return of such keys at any reasonable time upon request until this Lease shall have been properly terminated. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, whether accepted by Landlord or not, or a mutual termination hereof, shall not work a merger, and at the option of Landlord shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of all subleases or subtenancies affecting the Premises.

15.2 Removal of Tenant Property by Tenant. Upon the expiration of the Lease Term, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, subject to the provisions of this Article 15, quit and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in as good order and condition as when Tenant took possession and as thereafter improved by Landlord and/or Tenant, reasonable wear and tear and repairs which are specifically made the responsibility of Landlord hereunder excepted. All walls in the kitchen areas shall be scrubbed clean, and free of all grease, food, and other residue. Upon such expiration or termination, Tenant shall, without expense to Landlord, remove or cause to be removed from the Premises all Lines installed or caused to be installed by Tenant (including without limitation, telephone, data, and other cabling and wiring installed or caused to be installed by Tenant, including any cabling and wiring, installed above the ceiling of the Premises or below the floor of the Premises), leave the interior walls painted or cleaned as needed, and remove all debris and rubbish, and such items of furniture, equipment, free-standing cabinet work, and other articles of personal property owned by Tenant or installed or placed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises, and cabling, wiring or conduit (including any such cabling or wiring associated with any telephone system

 

23


or network, if any) which may have been placed at the Building or within the Building by or on behalf of Tenant, and such similar articles of any other persons claiming under Tenant, as Landlord may, in its sole discretion, require to be removed, and Tenant shall repair at its own expense all damage to the Premises and Building resulting from such removal. At Landlord’s option (subject to Sections 8.1 and 8.3) Tenant also shall be required to remove any Alterations made by or for Tenant in accordance with Section 8.3, and Tenant shall repair at its own expense all damage to the Premises and Building resulting from such removal. If Tenant fails to complete any required removal of any Alterations, improvements, equipment and/or appurtenances in the Premises and/or to repair any damage caused by such removal pursuant to the terms of this Section 15.2, then Rent shall continue to accrue under this Lease in accordance with Article 16, below, after the end of the Lease Term until such work shall be completed, and Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform such work and to charge the cost thereof to Tenant. Regardless of anything to the contrary set forth above or elsewhere in this Lease, Landlord shall conduct a walkthrough of the Premises with Tenant at least 120 days prior to the expiration of the Lease Term and notify Tenant in writing of the Alterations, improvements, equipment and/or appurtenances that are to be removed.

ARTICLE 16

HOLDING OVER

If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term hereof, with or without the express or implied consent of Landlord, such tenancy shall be from month-to-month only, and shall not constitute a renewal hereof or an extension for any further term, and in such case Base Rent shall be payable at a monthly rate equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under this Lease. Such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other term, covenant and agreement contained herein. Landlord hereby expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease. The provisions of this Article 16 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and liability resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender, and any lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom.

ARTICLE 17

ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

Within ten (10) days following a request in writing by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate, which, as submitted by Landlord, shall be in the form as may be required by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Real Property (or any portion thereof), indicating therein any exceptions thereto that may exist at that time, and shall also contain any other information reasonably requested by Landlord or Landlord’s mortgagee or prospective mortgagee. Tenant shall execute and deliver whatever other instruments may be reasonably required for such purposes. Failure of Tenant to timely execute and deliver such estoppel certificate or other instruments shall constitute an acceptance of the Premises and an acknowledgment by Tenant that statements included in the estoppel certificate are true and correct, without exception. Failure by Tenant to so deliver such estoppel certificate shall be a material default of the provisions of this Lease. In addition, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord, and shall indemnify Landlord from and against any loss, cost, damage or expense, incidental, consequential, or otherwise, including attorneys’ fees, arising or accruing directly or indirectly, from any failure of Tenant to execute or deliver to Landlord any such estoppel certificate.

 

24


ARTICLE 18

SUBORDINATION

This Lease is subject and subordinate to all present and future ground or underlying leases of the Building and to the lien of any mortgages or trust deeds, now or hereafter in force against the Real Property, if any, and to all renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security of such mortgages or trust deeds, unless the holders of such mortgages or trust deeds, or the lessors under such ground lease or underlying leases, require in writing that this Lease be superior thereto. Tenant covenants and agrees in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any such mortgage, or if any ground or underlying lease is terminated, to attorn, without any deductions or set-offs whatsoever, to the purchaser upon any such foreclosure sale, or to the lessor of such ground or underlying lease, as the case may be, if so requested to do so by such purchaser or lessor and to recognize such purchaser or lessor as the lessor under this Lease. Tenant shall, within five (5) days of request by Landlord, execute such further instruments or assurances as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm the subordination or superiority of this Lease to any such mortgages, trust deeds, ground leases or underlying leases. Tenant hereby irrevocably authorizes Landlord to execute and deliver in the name of Tenant any such instrument or instruments if Tenant fails to do so, provided that such authorization shall in no way relieve Tenant from the obligation of executing such instruments of subordination or superiority. Tenant waives the provisions of any current or future statute, rule or law which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of the Tenant hereunder in the event of any foreclosure proceeding or sale. Tenant shall send to each mortgagee of any mortgage covering the Building or land or any part thereof (after notification of the identity of such mortgagee and the mailing address thereof) copies of all notices that Tenant sends to Landlord; such notices to such mortgagee shall be sent concurrently with the sending of the notices to Landlord and in the same manner as notices are required to be sent pursuant to Section 26.19 hereof. Tenant will accept performance of any provision of this Lease by such mortgagee as performance by, and with the same force and effect as though performed by, Landlord. If any act or omission of Landlord would give Tenant the right, immediately or after lapse of a period of time, to cancel or terminate this Lease, or to claim a partial or total eviction, Tenant shall not exercise such right until (a) Tenant gives notice of such act or omission to Landlord and to each such mortgagee, and (b) a reasonable period of time for remedying such act or omission elapses following the time when such mortgagee becomes entitled under such mortgage to remedy same (which reasonable period shall in no event be less than the period to which Landlord is entitled under this Lease or otherwise, after similar notice, to effect such remedy and which reasonable period shall take into account such time as shall be required to institute and complete any foreclosure proceedings). There is no mortgage or deed of trust existing in favor of any lender as of the date of this Lease. Regardless of anything to the contrary set forth above, as a condition precedent to Tenant’s subordination of this Lease to any future mortgage, ground lease, deed of trust or other similar instrument, Landlord shall be required to provide Tenant with a nondisturbance agreement in favor of Tenant, providing that, so long as Tenant is paying the rent due under the Lease and is not otherwise in default under this Lease beyond any applicable cure period, its right to possession and the other terms of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect.

ARTICLE 19

TENANT’S DEFAULTS; LANDLORD’S REMEDIES

19.1 Events of Default by Tenant. All covenants and agreements to be kept or performed by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without any reduction of Rent. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a “default” of this Lease by Tenant:

19.1.1 Any failure by Tenant to pay any Rent or any other charge required to be paid under this Lease, or any part thereof, within three (3) days after written notice from Landlord; or

19.1.2 Any failure by Tenant to observe or perform any other provision, covenant or condition of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant where such failure continues for twenty (20) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 or any similar or successor law; and provided further that if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within a twenty (20) day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if it diligently commences such cure within such period and thereafter diligently proceeds to rectify and cure such default as soon as possible but in no event later than ninety (90) days after Landlord’s delivery of such notice; or

19.1.3 Abandonment and/or Vacation of the Premises by Tenant and failure to comply with any other provisions of this Lease.

 

25


19.1.4 Any failure by Tenant to observe or perform the provisions of Sections 14, 17, 18 or 26.4 where such failure continues for more than two (2) business days after notice from Landlord.

19.1.5 Tenant’s failure to deposit with Landlord the funds required to increase or restore the Security Deposit to the amount required as and when required pursuant to Article 20 of this Lease or to provide, keep in effect, renew or increase the Letter of Credit as and when required pursuant to Addendum 1 of this Lease.

19.1.6 Tenant (i) makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (ii) files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or suffers the filing of an involuntary petition by creditors, (iii) suffers the appointment of a receiver to take possession of all or substantially all of its assets, (iv) suffers the attachment or other judicial seizure of all or substantially all of its assets, (v) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they come due, or (vi) makes an offer of settlement, extension or composition to its creditors generally.

Tenant acknowledges that Landlord’s delivery of any notice described in the foregoing provisions of this Section 19.1 shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 or any similar or successor law

19.2 Landlord’s Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of any such default by Tenant, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies, each and all of which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive, without any notice or demand whatsoever.

19.2.1 Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or arrearages in rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefor; and Landlord may recover from Tenant the following:

(i) The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which has been earned at the time of such termination; plus

(ii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

(iii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

(iv) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, specifically including but not limited to, brokerage commissions and advertising expenses incurred, expenses of remodeling the Premises or any portion thereof for a new tenant, whether for the same or a different use, and any special concessions made to obtain a new tenant, including, without limitation, any rent abatement; and

(v) At Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law.

The term “rent” as used in this Section 19.2 shall be deemed to be and to mean all sums of every nature required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, whether to Landlord or to others. As used in Sections 19.2.1(i) and (ii), above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate set forth in Section 4.5 of this Lease. As used in Section 19.2.1(iii) above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

 

26


19.2.2 Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all rent as it becomes due.

19.2.3 Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make any such payment or perform or otherwise cure any such obligation, provision, covenant or condition on Tenant’s part to be observed or performed (and may enter the Premises for such purposes). In the event of Tenant’s failure to perform any of its obligations or covenants under this Lease, and such failure to perform poses a material risk of injury or harm to persons or damage to or loss of property, then Landlord shall have the right to cure or otherwise perform such covenant or obligation at any time after such failure to perform by Tenant, whether or not any such notice or cure period set forth in Section 19.1 above has expired. Any such actions undertaken by Landlord pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 19.2.3 shall not be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s rights and remedies as a result of Tenant’s failure to perform and shall not release Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease.

19.3 Payment by Tenant. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within fifteen (15) days after delivery by Landlord to Tenant of statements therefor: (i) sums equal to expenditures reasonably made and obligations incurred by Landlord in connection with Landlord’s performance or cure of any of Tenant’s obligations pursuant to the provisions of Section 19.2.3 above; and (ii) sums equal to all expenditures made and obligations incurred by Landlord in collecting or attempting to collect the Rent or in enforcing or attempting to enforce any rights of Landlord under this Lease or pursuant to law, including, without limitation, all legal fees and other amounts so expended. Tenant’s obligations under this Section 19.3 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term.

19.4 Sublessees of Tenant. Whether or not Landlord elects to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, as set forth in this Article 19, Landlord shall have the right to terminate any and all subleases, licenses, concessions or other consensual arrangements for possession entered into by Tenant and affecting the Premises or may, in Landlord’s sole discretion, succeed to Tenant’s interest in such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements. In the event of Landlord’s election to succeed to Tenant’s interest in any such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements, Tenant shall, as of the date of notice by Landlord of such election, have no further right to or interest in the rent or other consideration receivable thereunder.

19.5 Waiver of Default. No waiver by Landlord of any violation or breach by Tenant of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other or later violation or breach by Tenant of the same or any other of the terms, provisions, and covenants herein contained. Forbearance by Landlord in enforcement of one or more of the remedies herein provided upon a default by Tenant shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such default. The acceptance of any Rent hereunder by Landlord following the occurrence of any default, whether or not known to Landlord, shall not be deemed a waiver of any such default, except only a default in the payment of the Rent so accepted. No endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any payment of Base Rent or such other sums shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept any such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to receive payment of the balance of such rent and/or other sums, or Landlord’s right to pursue Landlord’s remedies.

19.6 Efforts to Relet. For the purposes of this Article 19, Tenant’s right to possession shall not be deemed to have been terminated by efforts of Landlord to relet the Premises, by its acts of maintenance or preservation with respect to the Premises, or by appointment of a receiver to protect Landlord’s interests hereunder. The foregoing enumeration is not exhaustive, but merely illustrative of acts which may be performed by Landlord without terminating Tenant’s right to possession.

19.7 Concessions. If Landlord provides Tenant with any concessions under this Lease, including, without limitation, rent abatement or tenant improvement allowance, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord provided such concessions to Tenant in reliance upon Tenant’s representation and warranty that Tenant shall faithfully and timely perform all terms and conditions of this Lease. Accordingly, if a default by Tenant shall occur, Landlord shall, in addition to all other damages due Landlord, recover from Tenant all such concessions as Additional Rent.

 

27


19.8 Landlord Default. Tenant waives the right to terminate this Lease in the event of a default by Landlord under this Lease. Tenant’s sole remedy in the event of a default by Landlord shall be an action for damages or injunctive or declaratory relief. Landlord’s failure to perform any of its obligations under this Lease shall constitute a default by Landlord under this Lease if the failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice of the failure from Tenant to Landlord. If the required performance cannot be completed within thirty (30) days, Landlord’s failure to perform shall constitute a default under the Lease unless Landlord undertakes to cure the failure within thirty (30) days and diligently and continuously attempts to complete this cure as soon as reasonably possible. All obligations of each party hereunder shall be construed as covenants, not conditions. If Landlord is in default under the Lease as hereinabove described beyond the applicable notice and cure period, and such default is materially and adversely impacting Tenant’s business operations in the Premises (each, a “Material Default”), Tenant shall deliver a second (2nd) default notice to Sublandlord (in addition to the notice required by this Section 19.8 above) in an envelope marked “PRIORITY” containing a bold-faced, conspicuous (i.e. in a font size that is not less than fourteen (14)) legend at the top of the first page thereof stating SECOND AND FINAL NOTICE: THIS IS A MATERIAL DEFAULT NOTICE UNDER THE LEASE BETWEEN TALLWOOD FOREST, LLC AND HIPPO ANALYTICS INC. FOR THE BUILDING LOCATED AT 150 FOREST AVENUE, PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA. IF YOU FAIL TO CURE THE MATERIAL DEFAULT IDENTIFIED HEREIN WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS, AFTER THE RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE, THEN WE MAY BEGIN EXERCISING OUR SELF-HELP RIGHTS, PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE LEASE”, and specifying, in the body of such notice the specific material default that Landlord has committed (the “Second Notice”). If Landlord, after receipt of a Second Notice does not cure such default within such five (5) business day period, then Tenant shall have the right to take such commercially reasonable actions as Tenant deems necessary to cure Landlord’s Material Default and, upon receipt of written notice from Tenant, accompanied by supporting evidence of the expenses incurred by Tenant, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for such costs.

ARTICLE 20

SECURITY DEPOSIT

Concurrently with Tenant’s execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord a security deposit (the “Security Deposit”) in the amount set forth in Section 11 of the Summary. The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease to be kept and performed by Tenant during the Lease Term and not as prepayment of rent. Landlord shall not be required to maintain the Security Deposit separate and apart from Landlord’s general or other funds and Landlord may commingle the Security Deposit with any of Landlord’s general or other funds. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provisions of this Lease, including, but not limited to, the provisions relating to the payment of Rent, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, use, apply or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any Rent or any other sum in default, or for the payment of any amount that Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant’s default, or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage that Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant’s default. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall, within five (5) days after written demand therefor, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount, and Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a default under this Lease. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully perform every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, the Security Deposit, or any balance thereof, shall be returned to Tenant, or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee of Tenant’s interest hereunder, within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the Lease Term. Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on the Security Deposit. Upon termination of the original Landlord’s or any successor owner’s interest in the Premises or the Building, the original Landlord or such successor owner shall be released from further liability with respect to the Security Deposit upon the original Landlord’s or such successor owner’s complying with California Civil Code Section 1950.7. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, and all other provisions of law, now or hereafter in force, which provide that Landlord may claim from a security deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent, to repair damage caused by Tenant or to clean the Premises, it being agreed that Landlord may, in addition, claim those sums reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage, foreseeable or unforeseeable, caused by the act or omission of Tenant or any officer, employee, agent or invitee of Tenant. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord may apply the Security Deposit as necessary to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage caused by the default of Tenant under this Lease, including without limitation all damages or Rent due upon termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code. Landlord shall not be deemed a trustee of the Security Deposit, may use the Security Deposit in business, and shall not be required to segregate it from its general accounts. Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on the Security Deposit. If Landlord transfers its interest in the Premises, the Building or the Project during the Lease Term, Landlord may transfer the Security Deposit to any transferee of Landlord’s interest, in which event Landlord will be released from all liability for the return of the Security Deposit.

ARTICLE 21

COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

Tenant shall not do anything or suffer anything to be done in or about the Premises and/or the Real Property which will in any way conflict with any statute, ordinance or other governmental rule, regulation or requirement or other Law now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated. Subject to Landlord’s obligations set forth in this Article 21 with respect to Excluded Changes (as hereinafter defined), Tenant at its sole cost and expense promptly shall comply with all such Laws. As used in this Article 21, the term “Excluded Changes” means any improvements or changes to the Building’s structure or the Building’s life safety system, including without limitation any Law requiring disability access improvements, that becomes required under any Law first enacted or generally enforced after the Commencement Date and is not the result of a Tenant-Caused Change (as defined below). If any Excluded Changes (or other improvements or alterations required as a result of such Excluded Changes) become required, and such requirement is not as the result of the Tenant Improvements or any Alterations, any furniture, fixtures, equipment or apparatus which Tenant installs or places in the Premises, any use of the Premises for other than general office purposes or otherwise as the result of the actions of Tenant or its agents, contractors, employees, licensees, members, managers, partners, subtenants, assignees or invitees (collectively, “Tenant-Caused Changes”), Landlord shall cause such change to be made, in which event the costs thereof shall be included in Operating Expenses to the extent set forth in Article 4 of this Lease. If any Excluded Changes (or other improvements or alterations required as a result of such Excluded Changes) are required as a result of any Tenant-Caused Changes, Tenant shall, upon demand make such change at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and subject to Article 8 above, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. If Tenant requests Landlord to make any Tenant-Caused Change, Landlord may make the Tenant-Caused Changes required pursuant to the foregoing sentence, in which event Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred by Landlord in making such Tenant-Caused Changes, together with an administrative fee equal to ten percent (10%) of such costs, within five (5) days after written notice from Landlord. Should any standard or regulation now or hereafter be imposed on Landlord or Tenant by a state, federal or local governmental body charged with the establishment, regulation and enforcement of occupational, health or safety standards for employers, employees, landlords or tenants, then Tenant agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to promptly comply with such standards or regulations and to cooperate with Landlord, including, without limitation, by taking such actions as Landlord may reasonably require, in Landlord’s efforts to comply with such standards or regulations. In addition, Tenant shall fully comply with all present or future programs imposed directly or indirectly by any governmental authority intended to manage parking, transportation or traffic in and around the Real Property, and in connection therewith, Tenant shall take responsible action for the transportation planning and management of all employees located at the Premises by working directly with Landlord, any governmental transportation management organization or any other transportation-related committees or entities. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in any judicial action, regardless of whether Landlord is a party thereto, that Tenant has violated any of such governmental measures, shall be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant.

such reasonable steps as required to accomplish the stated purposes so long as Landlord uses commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises. Tenant hereby waives any claims for damages or for any injuries or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, lost profits, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss occasioned thereby so long as Landlord uses commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises.

In an emergency, Landlord shall have the right to enter without notice and use any means that Landlord may deem proper to open the doors in and to the Premises.

Tenant shall not store, use or dispose of any Hazardous Materials except for those Hazardous Materials listed in a Hazardous Materials management plan (“HMMP”) which Tenant shall deliver to Landlord upon execution of this Lease and update at least annually with Landlord (“Permitted Materials”) which may be used, stored and disposed of provided (i) such Permitted Materials are used, stored, transported, and disposed of in strict compliance with applicable Laws, (ii) such Permitted Materials shall be limited to the materials listed on and may be used only in the quantities specified in the HMMP, and (iii) Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of all material safety data sheets and other documentation required under applicable Laws in connection with Tenant’s

 

30


use of Permitted Materials as and when such documentation is provided to any regulatory authority having jurisdiction. In no event shall Tenant cause or permit to be discharged into the plumbing or sewage system of the Building or onto the land underlying or adjacent to the Real Property any Hazardous Materials. Tenant shall be solely responsible for and shall defend, indemnify, and hold Landlord and its agents harmless from and against all claims, costs and liabilities, including attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of or in connection with Tenant’s storage, use and/or disposal of Hazardous Materials. If the presence of Hazardous Materials in or on the Premises, the Building or the Real Property caused or knowingly permitted by Tenant results in contamination or deterioration of water or soil, then Tenant shall promptly take any and all action necessary to clean up such contamination, but the foregoing shall in no event be deemed to constitute permission by Landlord to allow the presence of such Hazardous Materials. At any time prior to the expiration of the Lease Term if Tenant has a reasonable basis to suspect that there has been any release or the presence of Hazardous Materials in the ground or ground water on the Premises which did not exist upon commencement of the Lease Term, Tenant shall have the right to conduct appropriate tests of water and soil and Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the results of such tests to demonstrate that no contamination in excess of permitted levels has occurred as a result of Tenant’s use of the Premises. Tenant shall further be solely responsible for, and shall defend, indemnify, and hold Landlord and its agents harmless from and against all claims, costs and liabilities, including attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of or in connection with any removal, cleanup and restoration work and materials required under this Section 23.1.2 to return the Premises, the Building or the Real Property and any other property of whatever nature to their condition existing prior to the appearance of the Hazardous Materials.

23.1.3 Upon termination or expiration of the Lease Term, Tenant at its sole expense shall cause all Hazardous Materials placed in or about the Premises, the Building and/or the Real Property by Tenant, its agents, contractors, or invitees, and all installations (whether interior or exterior) made by or on behalf of Tenant relating to the storage, use, disposal or transportation of Hazardous Materials to be removed from the property and transported for use, storage or disposal in accordance and compliance with all Laws and other requirements respecting Hazardous Materials used or permitted to be used by Tenant. Tenant shall apply for and shall obtain from all appropriate regulatory authorities (including any applicable fire department or regional water quality control board) all permits, approvals and clearances necessary for the closure of the Real Property and shall take all other actions as may be required to complete the closure of the Building and the Real Property. In addition, if Landlord has a reasonable basis to suspect the existence of Hazardous Materials contamination caused or knowingly permitted by Tenant, then prior to vacating the Premises, Tenant shall, upon Landlord’s request, undertake and submit to Landlord an environmental site assessment from an environmental consulting company reasonably acceptable to Landlord which site assessment shall evidence Tenant’s compliance with this Section 23.1.3.

23.1.4 At any time prior to expiration of the Lease Term, subject to reasonable prior notice (not less than forty-eight (48) hours) and Tenant’s reasonable security requirements and provided such activities do not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Tenant’s business at the Premises, Landlord shall have the right to enter in and upon the Real Property, Building and Premises in order to conduct appropriate tests of water and soil to determine whether levels of any Hazardous Materials in excess of legally permissible levels has occurred as a result of Tenant’s use thereof. Landlord shall furnish copies of all such test results and reports to Tenant and, at Tenant’s option and cost, shall permit split sampling for testing and analysis by Tenant. Such testing shall be at Tenant’s expense (and shall be reimbursable to Landlord immediately upon demand) if Landlord has a reasonable basis for suspecting and confirms the presence of Hazardous Materials in the soil or surface or ground water in, on, under, or about the Real Property, the Building or the Premises, which has been caused by or resulted from the activities of Tenant, its agents, contractors, or invitees.

23.1.5 Landlord may voluntarily cooperate in a reasonable manner with the efforts of all governmental agencies in reducing actual or potential environmental damage. Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease or to any reduction in or abatement of rent by reason of such voluntary cooperation, nor for any required compliance; provided, however, Tenant shall not incur any material increase in cost as a result of the same. Tenant agrees at all times to cooperate fully with the reasonable requirements and recommendations of governmental agencies regulating, or otherwise involved in, the protection of the environment.

23.1.6 Tenant’s obligations under this Section 23.1 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

23.2 Asbestos and Lead Paint. California law requires landlords to disclose to tenants the existence of certain Hazardous Materials. The Building was constructed at a time when building materials such as asbestos containing materials (“ACMs”) and lead based paint were commonly used. For buildings (such as the Building) that were constructed before 1980, the California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“Cal/OSHA”) standards presume that the following materials contain asbestos unless analytical tests demonstrate that they do not contain asbestos (“PACM”): (a) thermal system insulation applied to pipes, fittings, boilers, breeching, tanks, ducts or other structural components to prevent heat loss or gain; (b) surfacing material that is sprayed, troweled-on or otherwise applied to surfaces (such as acoustical plaster on ceilings and fireproofing materials on structural members, or other materials on surfaces for acoustical, fireproofing, and other purposes); and (c) asphalt and vinyl flooring material. ACM may be present in, among other places, exterior and interior plasters, cement asbestos siding, finished gypsum wallboard, vinyl tile floor covering, window putty, and roofing materials. Tenant hereby agrees not to repair, drill, bore, or otherwise disturb any ACM or PACM unless Tenant complies with all applicable Laws for handling ACM. Any such activity must be undertaken in accordance with all applicable Laws by a “competent person” as defined in the Cal/OSHA regulations and in accordance with all applicable regulations of Cal/OSHA, the California Department of Toxic Substances Control, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, and the City. Landlord further advises Tenant that based upon the age of the Building, painted surfaces within the Building and the Premises may contain lead-based paint. Pursuant to applicable Law, all suspect lead-based paint should either be presumed to contain lead or adequate rebuttal sampling should be conducted prior to renovation, including maintenance, or demolition if those activities will cause a disturbance of any suspect lead-based paint or otherwise create a lead hazard. Tenant shall comply with all Laws governing any work that may disturb ACM, PACM or lead paint.

ARTICLE 24

PARKING

During the Lease Term, Tenant shall have the right to use the number of parking spaces set forth in Section 10 of the Summary, located in the Project. Landlord shall have no liability or responsibility for monitoring use of the parking spaces by persons other than employees or invitees of Tenant, and Tenant shall be responsible for the same at its sole cost and expense.

ARTICLE 25

PATRIOT ACT

As an inducement to Landlord to enter into this Lease, Tenant hereby represents and warrants that: (i) Tenant is not, nor is it owned or controlled directly or indirectly by, any person, group, entity or nation named on any list issued by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”) pursuant to Executive Order 13224 or any similar list or any law, order, rule or regulation or any Executive Order of the President of the United States as a terrorist, “Specially Designated National and Blocked Person” or other banned or blocked person (any such person, group, entity or nation being hereinafter referred to as a “Prohibited Person”); (ii) Tenant is not (nor is it owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by any person, group, entity or nation which is) acting directly or indirectly for or on behalf of any Prohibited Person; and (iii) neither Tenant (nor any person, group, entity or nation which owns or controls Tenant, directly or indirectly) has conducted or will conduct business or has engaged or will engage in any transaction or dealing with any Prohibited Person, including without limitation any assignment of this Lease or any subletting of all or any portion of the Premises or the making or receiving of any contribution of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of a Prohibited Person. In connection with the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that (x) any breach by Tenant of the foregoing representations and warranties shall be deemed a default by Tenant of this Lease and shall be covered by the indemnity provisions of Section 10.1 above, and (y) the representations and warranties contained in this subsection shall be continuing in nature and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

26.4 Modification of Lease; Financials. Should any current or prospective mortgagee or ground lessor for the Building require a modification or modifications of this Lease, which modification or modifications will not cause an increased cost or expense to Tenant or in any other way materially and adversely change the rights and obligations of Tenant hereunder, then and in such event, Tenant agrees that this Lease may be so modified and agrees to execute whatever documents are required therefor and deliver the same to Landlord within ten (10) days following the request therefor. Should Landlord or any such current or prospective mortgagee or ground lessor require execution of a short form of Lease for recording, containing, among other customary provisions, the names of the parties, a description of the Premises and the Lease Term, Tenant agrees to execute such short form of Lease and to deliver the same to Landlord within twenty (20) days following the request therefor. In addition, upon request from time to time not more frequently than twice per calendar year (except in the event of a sale or refinancing), Tenant agrees to provide to Landlord, within twenty (20) days of written request current financial statements for Tenant, dated no earlier than one (1) year prior to such request, certified as accurate by Tenant or, if available, audited financial statements prepared by an independent certified public accountant with copies of the auditor’s statement.

Tenant represents and warrants that all financial statements provided by Tenant to Landlord, including those provided by Tenant prior to the execution and delivery of this Lease, are and shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects as of the date set forth in such statements.

26.5 Transfer of Landlord’s Interest. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has the right to transfer all or any portion of its interest in the Building, the Real Property and/or in this Lease, and Tenant agrees that in the event of any such transfer and assumption by the transferee of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall automatically be released from all liability under this Lease and Tenant agrees to look solely to such transferee for the performance of Landlord’s obligations hereunder after the date of transfer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is acknowledged and agreed that the liability of Landlord under this Lease is limited to its actual period of ownership of title to the Building. The liability of any transferee of Landlord shall be limited to the interest of such transferee in the Building or the Real Property. Tenant further acknowledges that Landlord may assign its interest in this Lease to a mortgage lender as additional security and agrees that such an assignment shall not release Landlord from its obligations hereunder and that Tenant shall continue to look to Landlord for the performance of its obligations hereunder.

 

33


26.6 Prohibition Against Recording. Neither this Lease, nor any memorandum, affidavit or other writing with respect thereto, shall be recorded by Tenant or by anyone acting through, under or on behalf of Tenant, and the recording thereof in violation of this provision shall make this Lease null and void at Landlord’s election.

26.7 Landlord’s Title; Air Rights. Landlord’s title is and always shall be paramount to the title of Tenant. Nothing herein contained shall empower Tenant to do any act which can, shall or may encumber the title of Landlord.

26.8 Tenant’s Signs. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, Tenant shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, to signage on the exterior of the Building provided that the location, quality, design, style, lighting and size of such signs shall be consistent with all Laws and shall be subject to approval by the City of Palo Alto and subject to Landlord’s prior written approval in its reasonable discretion. Such signs shall be installed by a signage contractor reasonably approved by Landlord. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for the removal of such signage and the repair of all damage to the Building caused by such removal. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 26.8. Tenant may not install any signs, symbols, or identifying marks on or in the Building or the Real Property and any signs, window treatments or coverings, or blinds (even if the same are located behind the Landlord approved window coverings for the Building), or other items visible from the exterior of the Premises or Building without the prior written approval of Landlord, in its reasonable discretion.

26.9 Relationship of Parties. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto or by any third party to create the relationship of principal and agent, partnership, joint venturer or any association between Landlord and Tenant, it being expressly understood and agreed that neither the method of computation of Rent nor any act of the parties hereto shall be deemed to create any relationship between Landlord and Tenant other than the relationship of landlord and tenant.

26.10 Application of Payments. Landlord shall have the right to apply payments received from Tenant pursuant to this Lease, regardless of Tenant’s designation of such payments, to satisfy any obligations of Tenant hereunder, in such order and amounts as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may elect.

26.14 Landlord Exculpation. It is expressly understood and agreed that the obligations of Landlord under this Lease shall be binding upon Landlord and its successors and assigns and any future owner of the Real Property only with respect to events occurring during its and their respective ownership of the Real Property. In addition, Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord’s interest in the Real Property and proceeds therefrom for recovery of any judgment against Landlord arising in connection with this Lease, it being agreed that neither Landlord nor any

 

34


successor or assign of Landlord nor any future owner of the Real Property, nor any partner, shareholder, member, or officer of any of the foregoing shall ever be personally liable for any such judgment. The limitations of liability contained in this Section 26.14 shall inure to the benefit of Landlord’s and the Landlord Parties’ present and future partners, beneficiaries, officers, directors, trustees, shareholders, agents and employees, and their respective partners, heirs, successors and assigns. Under no circumstances shall any present or future partner of Landlord (if Landlord is a partnership), member (if Landlord is a limited liability company), or trustee or beneficiary (if Landlord or any partner of Landlord is a trust), have any liability for the performance of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease. If more than one person or entity is named herein as Landlord, such multiple parties shall be severally but not jointly liable for the obligations of the other parties named as Landlord, and Tenant shall look solely to each such party’s interest in the Real Property for recovery of any judgment against any such party.

26.15 Entire Agreement. It is understood and acknowledged that there are no oral agreements between the parties hereto affecting this Lease and this Lease supersedes and cancels any and all previous negotiations, arrangements, brochures, agreements and understandings, if any, between the parties hereto or displayed by Landlord to Tenant with respect to the subject matter thereof, and none thereof shall be used to interpret or construe this Lease. This Lease and any side letter or separate agreement executed by Landlord and Tenant in connection with this Lease and dated of even date herewith contain all of the terms, covenants, conditions, warranties and agreements of the parties relating in any manner to the rental, use and occupancy of the Premises, shall be considered to be the only agreement between the parties hereto and their representatives and agents, and none of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease can be modified, deleted or added to except in writing signed by the parties hereto. All negotiations and oral agreements acceptable to both parties have been merged into and are included herein. There are no other representations or warranties between the parties, and all reliance with respect to representations is based totally upon the representations and agreements contained in this Lease.

Any prevention, delay or stoppage due to strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, acts of God, inability to obtain services, labor, or materials or reasonable substitutes therefor, governmental actions, civil commotions, fire or other casualty, and other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform, except with respect to the obligations imposed with regard to Rent and other charges to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease (collectively, the “Force Majeure”), notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, shall excuse the performance of such party for a period equal to any such prevention, delay or stoppage and, therefore, if this Lease specifies a time period for performance of an obligation of either party, that time period shall be extended by the period of any delay in such party’s performance caused by a Force Majeure.

26.18 Waiver of Redemption by Tenant. Tenant hereby waives for Tenant and for all those claiming under Tenant all right now or hereafter existing to redeem by order or judgment of any court or by any legal process or writ, Tenant’s right of occupancy of the Premises after any termination of this Lease.

26.23 Governing Law. This Lease shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

36


26.26 Independent Covenants. This Lease shall be construed as though the covenants herein between Landlord and Tenant are independent and not dependent and Tenant hereby expressly waives the benefit of any statute to the contrary and agrees that if Landlord fails to perform its obligations set forth herein, Tenant shall not be entitled to make any repairs or perform any acts hereunder at Landlord’s expense or to any setoff of the Rent or other amounts owing hereunder against Landlord; provided, however, that the foregoing shall in no way impair the right of Tenant to commence a separate action against Landlord for any violation by Landlord of the provisions hereof so long as notice is first given to Landlord and any holder of a mortgage or deed of trust covering the Building, the Real Property or any portion thereof, of whose address Tenant has theretofore been notified, and an opportunity is granted to Landlord and such holder to correct such violations as provided above.

26.27 Building Name and Signage.

Tenant assumes all responsibility for the protection of Tenant and Tenant’s employees, agents, customers, invitees and contractors from acts of third parties, and hereby waives any claims against Landlord with respect to the same. To the extent Tenant determines that such security or protection services are advisable or necessary, Tenant shall arrange for and pay the costs of providing same. In the event Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion agrees to provide any security services, whether it be guard service or access systems or otherwise, Landlord shall do so strictly as an accommodation to Tenant and Landlord and the Landlord Parties shall have no liability whatsoever in connection therewith, whether it be for failure to maintain the secure access system, or for failure of the guard service to provide adequate security, or otherwise. If Landlord elects to provide such security, the costs thereof shall be included in Operating Expenses.

26.30 Energy and Resource Consumption. Landlord may voluntarily cooperate in a reasonable manner with the efforts of governmental agencies and/or utility suppliers in reducing energy or other resource consumption within the Real Property so long as there is no material increased costs to Tenant or unreasonable interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises. Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease or to any reduction in or abatement of rent by reason of such cooperation. Tenant agrees at all times to cooperate fully with Landlord and to abide by all reasonable rules established by Landlord (i) in order to maximize the efficient operation of the electrical, heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems and all other energy or other resource consumption systems with the Real Property and/or (ii) in order to comply with the recommendations of utility suppliers and governmental agencies regulating the consumption of energy and/or other resources. Tenant covenants and agrees that at all times, its use of electric energy shall never exceed the capacity of the existing feeders to the Building or the risers of wiring installation. Any riser or risers to supply Tenant’s electrical requirements upon written request of Tenant shall be installed by Landlord at the sole cost and expense of Tenant, if, in Landlord’s sole judgment, the same are necessary and will not cause or create a dangerous or hazardous condition or entail excess or unreasonable alterations, repairs or expense or interfere with or disrupt other tenants or occupants.

26.31 Landlord’s Construction. It is specifically understood and agreed that Landlord has no obligation and has made no promises to alter, remodel, improve, renovate, repair or decorate the Premises, Building, Real Property, or any part thereof and that no representations or warranties respecting the condition of the Premises, the Building or the Real Property have been made by Landlord to Tenant, except as specifically set forth in this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that prior to and during the Lease Term, Landlord may perform construction and/or demolition work pertaining to various portions of the Building, Premises, and/or Real Property, at Landlord’s sole election, such other buildings, improvements, landscaping and other facilities within or as part of the Project as Landlord shall from

time to time desire (collectively, the “Construction”). In connection with such Construction, Landlord may, among other things, erect scaffolding or other necessary structures in the Building, limit or eliminate access to portions of the Real Property, or perform work in the Building and/or Real Property, which work may create noise, dust or leave debris in the Building and/or Real Property. Tenant hereby agrees that such Construction and Landlord’s actions in connection with such Construction shall in no way constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant nor entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent. Landlord shall have no responsibility or for any reason be liable to Tenant for any direct or indirect injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from such Construction, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises or of Tenant’s personal property or improvements resulting from such Construction or Landlord’s actions in connection with such Construction, or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such Construction or Landlord’s actions in connection with such Construction.

26.32 Disclosure and Waiver of Certain Statutory Provisions. Pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1938, Landlord hereby discloses, and Tenant hereby acknowledges, that neither the Property, nor the Building has been inspected by a Certified Access Specialist (“CASp”). California Civil Code Section 1938 also requires that this Lease contain the following statement:

“A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the applicable construction related accessibility standards under state law. Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant. The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs to correct violations of the construction related accessibility standards within the premises.”

26.33 In accordance with the foregoing, Tenant, upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord, shall have the right to require a CASp inspection of the Property. If Tenant requires a CASp inspection of the Property, then: (i) Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection during such thirty (30) day period; (ii) Tenant shall be solely responsible to pay the cost of the CASp inspection as and when required by the CASp; and (iii) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as and when required by Landlord, the cost of making any repairs to correct violations of the construction related accessibility standards within or relating to the Property. Each party waives California Civil Code §§ 1932(2), 1933(4) and 1945. Tenant waives (a) any rights under (i) California Civil Code §§ 1932(1), 1941, 1942, 1950.7 or any similar Law, (ii) California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 1263.260 or 1265.130; (b) any right to terminate this Lease under California Civil Code § 1995.310; and (c) California Civil Code § 3275 and California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 1174(c) and 1179 and any existing or future rights to redeem or reinstate, by order or judgment of any court or by any legal process or writ, this Lease or Tenant’s right of occupancy of the Premises after any termination hereof.

26.34 Transportation Demand Management Program. Tenant acknowledges the City requires or may require Landlord to institute or participate in a transportation demand management program intended to manage parking, transportation or traffic in and around the Real Property (“TDM”). Tenant shall take responsible action for the transportation planning and management of all employees and other personnel located at the Premises by working directly with Landlord, any governmental transportation management organization or any other transportation-related committees or entities. Such TDM programs may include, without limitation: (a) restrictions on the number of peak-hour vehicle trips generated by Tenant’s employees; (b) increased vehicle occupancy; (c) implementation of an in-house ridesharing program and an employee transportation coordinator; (d) working with employees and an area-wide ridesharing program manager; (e) instituting employer-sponsored incentives (financial or in-kind) to encourage employees to rideshare; and (f) utilizing flexible work shifts for employees. Any costs or expenses associated with a TDM program that are not provided and paid for by Tenant, such as a TDM coordinator, may be provided by Landlord with such costs being included as Operating Expenses. As part of the TDM Program, and to the extent required, directly or indirectly, by the City, Tenant its sole cost and expense, shall cause its staff to participate in the TDM program and shall make available to its employees, at no cost, (i) Caltrain Go-Passes or Eco Passes (or the equivalent), (ii) car sharing programs and/or (iii) other TDM recommended incentives.

26.35 Landlord Lien Waiver. Tenant shall have the right, at any time during the Term, to encumber or grant a security or other interest in any personal property, equipment or trade fixtures which Tenant may install in the Premises to a bona fide mortgagee, recognized institutional lender or secured creditor, to whose rights the Landlord’s interest shall be subordinate. Upon Tenant’s written request, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a commercially reasonable waiver of Landlord’s lien rights in Tenant’s Equipment. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s costs incurred in reviewing such request, including Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees.

26.36 Dogs. Tenant shall be permitted during the Term of the Lease to bring fully domesticated and trained dogs, kept by the Tenant’s employees as pets into the Premises, provided and on condition that: (a) there shall not be more than five (5) dogs in the Premises at any one time; (b) all dogs shall be strictly controlled at all times and shall not be permitted to foul, damage or otherwise mar any part of the Building or cause any loud noise whether through barking, growling or otherwise; (c) all dogs shall remain in the Premises and not wander throughout the Project or otherwise be left unattended; (d) while outside the Premises, all dogs shall be kept on leashes; (e) within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s request from time to time, Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence of all current vaccinations for dogs having access to the Premises and the Building; (f) Tenant shall be responsible for any additional cleaning costs and all other costs which may arise from the dogs’ presence in the Building in excess of the costs that would have been incurred had dogs not been allowed in or around the Building; (g) Tenant shall be liable for, and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord and all of the Landlord’s Parties harmless from any and all claims arising from any and all acts (including but not limited to biting and causing bodily injury to, or damage to the property of, another tenant, subtenant, occupant, licensee, invitee or an employee of Landlord or any of the Landlord Parties) of, or the presence of, any dog in or about the Premises or the Project; (h) Tenant shall immediately remove any dog waste and excrement from the Premises, the Project or the adjacent outside areas. If Landlord reasonably determines that Landlord has incurred or is incurring increased janitorial (interior or exterior) maintenance costs as a result of the dogs’ presence, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such costs as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s demand; (i) if, at any time during the Term (x) Landlord reasonably determines that the presence of any and all dogs is materially disruptive to the maintenance and operation of the Building or otherwise reduces the value or reputation of the Building, or (y) Tenant has failed to comply with any of the provisions set forth in this Section, Landlord shall notify Tenant thereof and, if such failure to comply with any of the provisions of this Section is not cured to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s delivery of written notice to Tenant (which notice shall state in reasonable detail the subject breach by Tenant), Landlord may revoke Tenant’s rights under this Section (provided, however, that with respect to any such failure to comply with the provisions of this Section regards potential damage to property or persons, Tenant shall cure such failure promptly but in any event within five (5) days of Landlord’s notice thereof); (j) no dog with (or suspected of having) fleas or ticks or any infection is to be brought into the Building; (k) Tenant shall be responsible for, and indemnify, defend, protect and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all costs to remedy any and all damages caused to the Building, the Project or any portion thereof or to the Premises by any dog; (l) Tenant shall comply in all material respects with all applicable laws associated with or governing the presence of a dog within the Premises and/or upon the Project and such presence shall not violate any certificate of occupancy or other use permit affecting the Building. Tenant shall adequately insure the presence of and activities of any dog in the Premises and/or the Building and shall name Landlord as an additional insured on such insurance.

WORK LETTER

This Tenant Work Letter (“Tenant Work Letter”) sets forth the terms and conditions relating to the construction of improvements for the Premises. All references in this Tenant Work Letter to the “Lease” shall mean the relevant portions of the Lease to which this Tenant Work Letter is attached as Exhibit B.

SECTION 1

TENANT IMPROVEMENTS

1.1 Tenant Improvement Allowance. Tenant shall be entitled to a one-time tenant improvement allowance (the “Tenant Improvement Allowance”) in the amount of up to, but not exceeding Fifteen Dollars ($15.00) per rentable square foot of the Premises, for the costs relating to the initial design and construction of Tenant’s improvements which are permanently affixed to the interior of the Premises (other than specialty equipment or improvements) for which Tenant shall be solely responsible for cost thereof) (the “Tenant Improvements”). Tenant, through the Contractor (as defined in Section 3.1 below), shall construct the Tenant Improvements. In no event shall Landlord be obligated to make disbursements pursuant to this Tenant Work Letter in a total amount which exceeds the Tenant Improvement Allowance. Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any cash payment or credit against Rent or otherwise for any portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance which is not used to pay for the Tenant Improvement Allowance Items (as such term is defined below). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance remaining after the date that is twelve (12) months after the Commencement Date shall be forfeited by Tenant and, consistent therewith, shall not be available for use by Tenant, and Landlord shall have no further obligation to pay the same.

1.2 Disbursement of the Tenant Improvement Allowance. Except as otherwise set forth in this Tenant Work Letter, the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be disbursed by Landlord, only for the following items and costs (collectively, the “Tenant Improvement Allowance Items”):

1.2.1 payment of the fees of the “Architect” and the “Engineers,” as those terms are defined in Section 3.1 of this Tenant Work Letter and payment of the fees incurred by, and the actual and reasonable out of pocket cost of documents and materials supplied by Landlord’s consultants in connection with the preparation and review of the “Construction Drawings,” as that term is defined in Section 3.1 of this Tenant Work Letter;

1.2.2 the payment of plan check, permit and license fees relating to construction of the Tenant Improvements;

1.2.3 the cost of construction of the Tenant Improvements, including, without limitation, contractors’ fees and general conditions, testing and inspection costs, costs of utilities, trash removal, parking and hoists, and the costs of after-hours freight elevator usage;

1.2.4 the cost of any changes in the base, shell and/or core of the Building when such changes are required by the Construction Drawings (including if such changes are due to the fact that such work is prepared on an unoccupied basis), such cost to include all direct architectural and/or engineering fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith;

1.2.5 the cost of any changes to the Construction Drawings or Tenant Improvements required by Code or any other applicable laws;

1.2.6 sales and use taxes and Title 24 fees;

1.2.7 the Landlord Supervision Fee (as defined in Section 3.3 below); and

1.2.8 all other actual and reasonable out of pocket costs required to be expended by Landlord in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements.


In no event shall the Tenant Improvement Allowance be used for costs associated with furniture, fixtures, equipment, personal property, audio-visual systems, security systems, cabling or signage. Landlord shall disburse the Tenant Improvement Allowance to Tenant upon completion of the Tenant Improvements and Tenant’s submission to Landlord of lien waivers from the Contractor and its sub-contractors, and delivery of final permits and a certificate of occupancy.

SECTION 2

CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS

2.1 Selection of Architect/Construction Drawings. Tenant shall retain an architect/space planner (the “Architect”) approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, to prepare the Construction Drawings. Tenant shall retain engineering consultants approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld (the “Engineers”) to prepare all plans and engineering working drawings relating to the structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, life safety, and sprinkler work in the Premises. The plans and drawings to be prepared by Architect and the Engineers hereunder shall be known collectively as the “Construction Drawings.” All Construction Drawings shall comply with the drawing format and specifications reasonably acceptable to Landlord and shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval with such approval or specific reasonable objections to be provided within ten (10) business days of submission of such documents to Landlord. Such process shall repeat until approved. Tenant and Architect shall verify, in the field, the dimensions and conditions as shown on the relevant portions of the base building plans, and Tenant and Architect shall be solely responsible for the same, and Landlord shall have no responsibility in connection therewith. Landlord’s review of the Construction Drawings as set forth in this Section 2, shall be for its sole purpose and shall not imply Landlord’s review of the same, or obligate Landlord to review the same, for quality, design, compliance with Code or other applicable laws or other like matters. Accordingly, notwithstanding that any Construction Drawings are reviewed by Landlord or its space planner, architect, engineers and consultants, and notwithstanding any advice or assistance which may be rendered to Tenant by Landlord or Landlord’s space planner, architect, engineers, and consultants, Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever in connection therewith and shall not be responsible for any omissions or errors contained in the Construction Drawings.

2.2 Final Space Plan. Tenant’s preliminary space plan (the “Preliminary Space Plan”) is attached hereto as Exhibit B-1 and is incorporated herein by reference, and Landlord has approved of Tenant’s Preliminary Space Plan. Tenant and Architect shall prepare the final space plan for Tenant Improvements in the Premises (the “Final Space Plan”), which Final Space Plan shall include a layout and designation of all offices, rooms and other partitioning, their intended use, and equipment to be contained therein, and shall deliver the Final Space Plan to Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable approval with such approval or specific reasonable objections to be provided within ten (10) business days of submission of such documents to Landlord. Such process shall repeat until approved.

2.3 Final Working Drawings. Tenant, Architect and the Engineers shall complete the architectural and engineering drawings for the Premises, and Architect shall compile a fully coordinated set of architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing working drawings in a form which is complete to allow subcontractors to bid on the work and to obtain all applicable permits (collectively, the “Final Working Drawings”), and shall submit the same to Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable approval with such approval or specific reasonable objections to be provided within ten (10) business days of submission of such documents to Landlord. Such process shall repeat until approved.

2.4 Approved Working Drawings. Tenant shall submit the Final Working Drawings approved by Landlord (the “Approved Working Drawings”) to the applicable local governmental agency for all applicable building permits necessary to allow “Contractor,” as that term is defined in Section 3.1 of this Tenant Work Letter, to commence and fully complete the construction of the Tenant Improvements (collectively, the “Permits”), and, in connection therewith, Tenant shall coordinate with Landlord in order to allow Landlord, at Landlord’s option, to take part in all phases of the permitting process, and shall supply Landlord, as soon as possible, with all plan check numbers and dates of submittal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant hereby agrees that neither Landlord nor Landlord’s consultants shall be responsible for obtaining any building permit or certificate of occupancy for the Premises and that the obtaining of the same shall be Tenant’s responsibility; provided, however, that Landlord shall, in any event, cooperate with Tenant in executing permit applications and performing other ministerial acts reasonably necessary to enable Tenant to obtain any such permit or certificate of occupancy. No changes, modifications or alterations in the Approved Working Drawings may be made without the prior written consent of Landlord not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

3.2 Cost Proposal. After the Approved Working Drawings are signed by Landlord and Tenant, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a cost proposal in accordance with the Approved Working Drawings, which cost proposal shall include, as nearly as possible, the cost of all Tenant Improvement Allowance Items to be incurred by Tenant in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements (the “Cost Proposal”). If the Cost Proposal is more than the Tenant Improvement Allowance, Tenant shall be solely responsible for funding any additional amounts required to construct the Tenant Improvements.

3.3 Landlord Supervision Fee. Tenant shall pay a construction supervision and management fee (the “Landlord Supervision Fee”) to Landlord in an amount equal to the product of (i) one percent (1%) and (ii) an amount equal to the total cost of the Tenant Improvements; provided, however in no event shall the Landlord Supervision Fee exceed $2,500. In addition to the Landlord Supervision Fee and other amounts payable by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for amounts paid by Landlord to third parties in connection with the review of Tenant’s plans and drawings as referenced in Section 2 above, which amounts shall be charged against the Tenant Improvement Allowance

3.4 Contractor’s Warranties and Guarantees. Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all warranties and guarantees by Contractor relating to the Tenant Improvements, which assignment shall be on a non-exclusive basis such that the warranties and guarantees may be enforced by Landlord and/or Tenant, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord relating to, or arising out of the construction of, the Tenant Improvements.

3.5 Tenant’s Covenants. Tenant hereby indemnifies Landlord for any loss, claims, damages or delays arising from the actions of Architect and the Engineers on the Premises or in the Building. Within ten (10) days after completion of construction of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall cause Contractor and Architect to cause a Notice of Completion to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of the County in which the Building is located in accordance with Section 3093 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any successor statute and furnish a copy thereof to Landlord upon recordation, failing which, Landlord may itself execute and file the same on behalf of Tenant as Tenant’s agent for such purpose. In addition, Tenant, immediately after the Substantial Completion of the Premises, shall have prepared and delivered to the Building management office a copy of the “as built” plans and specifications (including all working drawings) for the Tenant Improvements, together with a computer disk containing the Approved Working Drawings in AutoCAD format.

3.6 Removal of Tenant Improvements. If any Tenant Improvements are specialty improvements and Landlord identifies them as such in approving the plans, specifications and drawings referred to above, Landlord reserves the right to require Tenant to remove such improvements and restore the area affected by such removal upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease by providing such election to Tenant at the time of approving such plans, specifications and drawings. Landlord hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landlord has not identified any of the proposed Tenant Improvements reflected in Tenant’s Preliminary Space Plan as specialty improvements. Except as set forth above, Landlord shall not have the right to require Tenant to remove any other Tenant Improvements. All restoration work shall be in accordance with the Lease.

In all instances where Tenant is required to approve or deliver an item, if no written notice of approval is given or the item is not delivered within the stated time period, at Landlord’s sole option, at the end of said period the item shall automatically be deemed approved or delivered by Tenant and the next succeeding time period shall commence.

4.4 Tenant’s Lease Default. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in the Lease, if an event of default by Tenant as described in the Lease or any default by Tenant under this Tenant Work Letter has occurred at any time on or before the substantial completion of the Tenant Improvements, then (i) in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to Landlord pursuant to the Lease, at law and/or in equity, Landlord shall have the right to withhold payment of all or any portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance and/or Landlord may cause Contractor to cease the construction of the Premises (in which case, Tenant shall be responsible for any delay in the substantial completion of the Tenant Improvements caused by such work stoppage), and (ii) all other obligations of Landlord under the terms of this Tenant Work Letter shall be forgiven until such time as such default is cured pursuant to the terms of the Lease (in which case, Tenant shall be responsible for any delay in the Substantial Completion of the Premises caused by such inaction by Landlord). In addition, if the Lease is terminated prior to the Commencement Date, for any reason due to a default by Tenant as described in the Lease or under this Tenant Work Letter, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord under the Lease, at law and/or in equity, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent under the Lease, within five (5) days of receipt of a statement therefor, any and all costs incurred by Landlord (including any portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance disbursed by Landlord) and not reimbursed or otherwise paid by Tenant through the date of such termination in connection with the Tenant Improvements to the extent planned, installed and/or constructed as of such date of termination, including, but not limited to, any costs related to the removal of all or any portion of the Tenant Improvements and restoration costs related thereto.

ADDENDUM 1

LETTER OF CREDIT

1. Letter of Credit. Within two (2) weeks after the execution of this Lease by Landlord and Tenant, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord an irrevocable standby letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) in the amount set forth in Section 12 of the Summary (the “Letter of Credit Amount”). For purposes of this Lease, “Letter of Credit” shall mean an unconditional, irrevocable sight draft letter of credit, drawable in Palo Alto or Menlo Park, in the Letter of Credit Amount issued by a bank reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and which will accept presentation of the Letter of Credit in the City of Menlo Park or the City of Palo Alto (or by fax), naming Landlord as beneficiary, and otherwise in a form approved by Landlord.

2. Draws Under Letter of Credit. Upon any default or breach of this Lease by Tenant, Landlord shall be entitled to draw upon the Letter of Credit by the issuance of Landlord’s sole written demand to the issuing financial institution. Any such draw shall be without waiver of any rights Landlord may have under this Lease or at law or in equity as a result of the default, as a setoff for full or partial compensation for the default. Partial drawings upon the Letter of Credit shall be permitted, and the Letter of Credit shall be transferable to a new building owner or lender. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any fees imposed by the issuing bank to transfer the Letter of Credit. The use, application or retention of the Letter of Credit, or any portion thereof, by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Lease or by law, it being intended that Landlord shall not first be required to proceed against the Letter of Credit and the Letter of Credit shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled.

3. Term: Renewal of Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit will be automatically renewed upon the expiration of its term for additional one (1) year periods, the renewal period not to extend beyond sixty (60) days after the Expiration Date of this Lease. The Letter of Credit shall provide for automatic annual renewals. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the issuing bank for any reason notifies Landlord in writing that it will not renew the Letter of Credit for any subsequent year, Tenant shall cause the Letter of Credit (or a replacement letter of credit acceptable to Landlord and satisfying the requirements of this Addendum) to be renewed through the date that is sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Term (including any extensions of the Lease Term upon Tenant’s exercise of an extension option as provided in the Lease). In the event the Letter of Credit is not renewed by the issuing financial institution on or before thirty (30) days prior to the then-scheduled expiration date of the Letter of Credit, then Landlord shall have the right to draw the full amount of the Letter of Credit and to hold such amount as cash security for Tenant’s full and faithful performance of its obligations under this Lease.

4. Return of Letter of Credit. If Tenant performs all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, the Letter of Credit or so much thereof as has not heretofore been drawn and/or applied by Landlord, shall be returned, to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee, if any, of Tenant’s interest hereunder) not later than sixty (60) days following the date this Lease expires or its earlier termination and Tenant has vacated the Premises.

5. Tenant Default: Waivers. The Letter of Credit is not an advance payment or prepayment of Rent or a measure or limit of Landlord’s damages upon a default or breach by Tenant. Without waiver of any rights Landlord may have under this Lease or at law or in equity, Landlord may from time to time draw upon and apply all or a portion of the Letter of Credit as is necessary for the following purposes: (i) to remedy any default by Tenant in the payment of Rent, (ii) to repair damage to the Premises caused by Tenant, (iii) to clean the Premises upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease per the requirements imposed upon Tenant under the Lease, and/or (iv) to the payment of any other amount which Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of a default and/or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of a default, to the fullest extent permitted by law (including, without limitation, on account of damages owing to Landlord under Article 19 of this Lease). Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code (to the extent applicable to the Letter of Credit) and all other provisions of law, now or hereafter in effect (collectively, “Security Deposit Laws”), which provide that Landlord may claim from a security deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent, to repair damage caused by Tenant or to clean the Premises, it being agreed


that Landlord may, in addition, claim those sums specified in this Addendum 1 and/or those sums reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage, foreseeable or unforeseeable, caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant or any officer, employee, agent, contractor or invitee of Tenant. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that in no event or circumstance shall the Letter of Credit, any renewal thereof or substitute therefor or the proceeds thereof be (i) deemed to be or treated as a “security deposit” within the meaning of California Civil Code Section 1950.7, (ii) subject to the terms of such Section 1950.7, or (iii) intended to serve as a “security deposit” within the meaning of such Section 1950.7. The parties hereto (A) recite that the Letter of Credit is not intended to serve as a security deposit and such Section 1950.7 and any and all other Security Deposit Laws shall have no applicability or relevancy thereto and (B) waive any and all rights, duties and obligations either party may now or, in the future, will have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent California Civil Code Section 1950.7 in any way: (a) is applicable to the Letter of Credit (or any proceeds thereof); or (b) controls Landlord’s rights to draw on the Letter of Credit or apply the proceeds of the Letter of Credit to any amounts due under this Lease or any damages Landlord may suffer following termination of this Lease, then Tenant fully and irrevocably waives the benefits and protections of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code (except for subsection (b) of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code) as it relates to the Letter of Credit, it being agreed that Landlord may recover from the Letter of Credit (or its proceeds) all of Landlord’s damages under this Lease and California law including, but not limited to, any damages accruing upon the termination of this Lease in accordance with this Lease and Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code.

6. Insolvency of Issuing Bank. In the event the bank issuing the Letter of Credit is declared insolvent by the FDIC or is closed for any reason, Tenant shall within ten (10) days provide a substitute Letter of Credit meeting the requirements of this Addendum 1 from another United States bank which is approved by Landlord in Landlord’s sole discretion.

7. Reduction of Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein, so long as Tenant is not in default of Tenant’s obligations hereunder beyond applicable notice and cure periods, the Letter of Credit Amount shall be amended and reduced by an amount equal to Four Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($400,000.00) on the date that is thirty (30) days after Tenant provides written notice to Landlord that Tenant has closed a round of funding equal to or greater than One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000.00)(the “Tenant Funding Event”), which notice shall also include evidence that such funding amount has been deposited into Tenant’s bank account, and after such reduction, the Letter of Credit shall equal Six Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($600,000.00). So long as Tenant is not in default of Tenant’s obligations hereunder beyond applicable notice and cure periods, and provided the Tenant Funding Event has occurred, on the first day of the thirty-seventh (37th) month of the Lease Term, and each anniversary thereafter until the Letter of Credit has reached $0.00, the Letter of Credit Amount shall be amended and reduced by an amount equal to One Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Two Hundred Fifty-Seven and 03/100 Dollars ($175,257.03). Upon issuance of the replacement Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms hereof, Landlord shall return the prior Letter of Credit to Tenant for cancellation. Tenant shall pay all costs associated with the issuance of any replacement Letter of Credit.

2.8 Building Warranty. Landlord represents to Tenant that, as of the Commencement Date, the Shell Improvements and the Tenant Improvements will be free from material defect, except to the extent any defects therein exist as a result of any negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors, subcontractors, or licensees. However, if Tenant does not deliver written notice to Landlord of any breach of the representation set forth in this Section 2.8 within one (1) year following the Commencement Date, then Tenant will be deemed to have inspected and accepted the same in their present condition, and the correction of any subsequently discovered defects will be the obligation of the applicable party pursuant to the other provisions of this Lease (and the cost thereof will be governed by the other provisions of this Lease). If a breach of the foregoing representation exists, and Tenant timely (i.e., within one (1) year following the Commencement Date) delivers written notice to Landlord setting forth in reasonable detail a description of such breach, Landlord will, as Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy, rectify the same at Landlord’s expense within a reasonable period of time following Landlord’s receipt of notice of the applicable defect.

-7-


(a) FF&E Period. Tenant may not enter the Premises for any purpose without Landlord’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, until Landlord tenders the Premises to Tenant. For a two (2) week period following the Delivery Date (the “FF&E Period”), subject to the terms of this Lease and provided that Tenant has delivered to Landlord evidence that the insurance required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Lease (including covering Landlord as a beneficiary under such insurance) is in full force and effect, Tenant shall have access to the Building, Premises and elevators for the installation of fixtures, furniture, office equipment, cabling and other items necessary for Tenant to conduct its business. During the FF&E Period, Tenant shall comply with and be subject to all terms and provisions of this Lease, except those provisions requiring the payment of Base Rent and Additional Rent.

(b) Confirmation of Term. Landlord shall notify Tenant of the Commencement Date using a Notice of Lease Term (“NLT”) in the form attached to this Lease as EXHIBIT E. Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord the NLT within ten (10) business days after its receipt, but Tenant’s failure to do so will not reduce Tenant’s obligations or Landlord’s rights under this Lease.

3.2 Holdover. If Tenant keeps possession of the Premises after the end of the Term (a “Holdover”) without Landlord’s prior written consent (which may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion), then in addition to the remedies available elsewhere under this Lease or by applicable law, Tenant will be a tenant at sufferance and must comply with all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, except that (i) during the first month of Holdover, Tenant will pay one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the monthly Base Rent and last payable under this Lease and one hundred percent (100%) of the Additional Rent, and (ii) thereafter, Tenant will pay one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the monthly Base Rent last payable under this Lease and one hundred percent (100%) of the Additional Rent; provided, however, that such monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be prorated for any partial month of Holdover. If the Holdover continues after Landlord has provided to Tenant thirty (30) days prior written notice to vacate the Premises, then Tenant shall be liable for, and shall indemnify and defend Landlord from and against, all claims and damages that Landlord suffers as a result of Tenant’s failure to return possession of the Premises to Landlord at the end of the Term, including consequential and indirect damages. Landlord’s deposit of Tenant’s Holdover payment will not constitute Landlord’s consent to a Holdover or create or renew any tenancy.

3.3 Condition on Expiration. By the end of the Term, Tenant will return possession of the Premises to Landlord vacant, free of Tenant’s Personal Property, in broom-clean condition, and with all Leasehold Improvements in good working order and repair (excepting ordinary wear and tear and damage due to casualty not caused by Tenant and not required to be repaired by Tenant or by condemnation), except that Tenant will remove Tenant’s Wiring and those Leasehold Improvements and Alterations (as such terms are defined herein) that Landlord requires to be removed at the end of the Term (with Landlord to make such determination at the time that Landlord approves the plans and specifications for the particular alteration or improvement); provided, however, that Tenant shall have no obligation to remove the Tenant Improvements or any normal and customary office improvements. If Tenant fails to return possession of the Premises to Landlord in this condition, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the costs incurred to put the Premises in the condition required under this Section 3.3. Tenant’s Personal Property left behind in the Premises for more than five (5) business days after the end of the Term will be considered abandoned and Landlord may move, store, retain or dispose of these items at Tenant’s cost.

3.4 Option to Extend Term.

(a) Exercise of Extension Option. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3.4, Landlord hereby grants Tenant one (1) option (the “Extension Option”) to extend the Term as to all, but not less than all, of the Premises, for a period of five (5) years (the “Extension Term”) commencing on the day after the Expiration Date of the initial Term. Tenant shall exercise the Extension Option, if at all, only by written notice (the “Extension Notice”) delivered to Landlord not less than ten (10) months and not more than fifteen (15) months prior to the Expiration Date. If Tenant does not timely exercise an Extension Option, then such Extension Option and any subsequent Extension Option will automatically terminate and be null and void. Tenant’s exercise of the Extension Option shall be irrevocable by Tenant. The terms and conditions of Tenant’s lease of the Premises during the Extension Term shall be the same terms and conditions of the Lease, including Landlord’s obligation to provide parking as provided in the Lease, as in effect immediately prior to the commencement of the Extension Term, except as follows:

(i) The Base Rent for the Extension Term shall be one hundred percent (100%) of the Market Rate. The “Market Rate shall be the prevailing per annum base rent rate per RSF (determined on a “net” lease basis), in renewal transactions for space of comparable size, location and conditions in the Building and other multi-story office buildings in the Central Business District of Austin, Texas constructed after 2004. When determining the aforesaid Market Rate by reference to comparable renewal transactions, the base rents provided for in such comparable transactions shall be adjusted to reflect the differences between the other terms of such comparable transactions and the other terms of the renewal to which the Market Rate is to be applicable. For example, if such comparable transactions provided for free rent, then in determining the aforesaid Market Rate to be applicable to any renewal with respect to which Tenant does not receive any free rent or any other substantially equivalent concession (or a lesser amount of free rent or substantially equivalent concession) the base rents provided for in such comparable transactions shall be equitably adjusted downward;

(ii) Tenant shall be entitled to receive the concessions or allowances included by Landlord in determining the Market Rate (however Landlord will be under no obligation to provide any such concessions or allowances);

(iii) No abatements or allowances applicable to any period prior to the subject Extension Term; or other concessions applicable during any period prior to the Extension Term, if any, shall apply during the Term unless expressly agreed by Landlord;

(iv) The Premises shall be accepted by Tenant for the Extension Term in its “AS IS” condition and “WITH ALL FAULTS” unless expressly agreed otherwise by Landlord; and

(v) There shall be no remaining rights or options to renew or extend the Term after the exercise of the Extension Option.

 

-9-


(b) Market Rate Notice/Exercise. Within thirty (30) days after Landlord receives Tenant’s Extension Notice, Landlord shall deliver a written notice (“Market Rate Proposal”) to Tenant specifying Landlord’s good faith and reasonable estimate of the Market Rate, including, in Landlord’s sole discretion, any improvement allowances, concessions, parking or other market considerations to lease as provided in Section 3.4(a) above for the Extension Term. Tenant, within fifteen (15) days after Landlord delivers the Market Rate Proposal, shall either (x) give Landlord notice of Tenant’s unconditional acceptance of Landlord’s determination of Market Rate for the Extension Term set forth in the Market Rate Proposal (an “Acceptance Notice”), or (y) give Landlord notice of Tenant’s rejection of Landlord’s determination of Market Rate for the Extension Term set forth in the Market Rate Proposal (a “Rejection Notice”). If Tenant timely delivers an Acceptance Notice, then the Market Rate (including, without limitation, the Base Rent for the Extension Term), will be as set forth in the Market Rate Notice. If Tenant does not timely deliver an Acceptance Notice or a Rejection Notice, Tenant will be deemed to have timely delivered an Acceptance Notice. If Tenant timely delivers a Rejection Notice, then the date Landlord receives such Rejection Notice will be deemed the “Arbitration Commencement Date” and the Market Rate will be determined as follows:

(i) Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith to try to agree upon the Market Rate for at least twenty (20) days following the Arbitration Commencement Date;

(ii) If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on the Market Rate, then, within thirty (30) days after the Arbitration Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant will select a “Qualified Appraiser” (defined below) to determine the Market Rate in accordance with the definition provided above. If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree upon a Qualified Appraiser within said thirty (30) day period, either Landlord or Tenant may elect to have the Qualified Appraiser appointed by the American Arbitration Association or its successor organization.

(iii) Within ten (10) days of when the Qualified Appraiser is appointed, Landlord and Tenant will each submit to the Qualified Appraiser its estimate of the Market Rate applicable to the Extension Term. If Landlord’s and Tenant’s submitted estimates are within five percent (5%) of each other, then the two estimates will be averaged together and the resulting amount will be the Market Rate applicable to the Extension Term. If Landlord’s submitted estimate of the Market Rate is more than five percent (5%) greater than Tenant’s submitted estimate, then the Market Rate for the Extension Term will be determined as follows: the Qualified Appraiser shall, within thirty (30) days of being appointed to serve hereunder, determine which of the Landlord’s or Tenant’s estimates most closely approximates the Market Rate and the estimate so selected shall be deemed to be the Market Rate for all purposes; provided, however, in no event will the Base Rent payable during the Extension Term be less than the Base Rent payable during the first year of the initial Term. The Qualified Appraiser must select either Landlord’s estimate or Tenant’s estimate and may not select an average of the two or any other amount. Landlord and Tenant each hereby covenants and agrees that the Market Rate determined in accordance with the foregoing procedures shall be binding upon each of them.

(iv) For purposes hereof, the term “Qualified Appraiser” shall mean and refer to a licensed real estate broker who: (x) has been actively involved in office leasing transactions over the previous ten (10) years in the market area in which the Premises are located; (y) has no personal stake or interest in the outcome of the appraisal; and (z) has not worked for either Landlord or Tenant in the previous five (5) years. The cost of the appraisal hereunder shall be borne equally by Landlord and Tenant.

 

-10-


(c) Termination. Tenant’s rights under this Section 3.4 shall automatically terminate: (i) in the event that Tenant does not timely and properly exercise the Extension Option; or (ii) if the Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises is terminated; or (iii) Tenant exercises any right to terminate the Lease or to reduce the Premises, or (iv) an assignment or a sublease of more than 60% of the Premises for substantially all of the then-remaining unelapsed Term occurs (other than a Permitted Transfer). Each of such termination events shall, at Landlord’s option, apply to terminate the Extension Option whether or not Tenant may have theretofore delivered an otherwise valid Extension Notice. Landlord may, at its option, waive any termination event.

(d) Conditions. Tenant’s exercise of the Extension Option is conditioned upon: (i) Tenant not being in Default at the time of exercise of the Extension Option and on the commencement date of the Extension Term, and (ii) Tenant or a Permitted Transferee must be in occupancy of at least seventy percent (70%) of the RSF within the Premises. Additionally, if all of such conditions are not satisfied on the day preceding the commencement of the Extension Term, then, at Landlord’s sole option, the Extension Notice shall be null and void, the Term shall not be extended and the Lease will expire upon the then scheduled Expiration Date.

(e) Prohibition on Assignment. Tenant’s rights under this Section 3.4 are personal to Tenant and may not be assigned or transferred, and any attempted assignment or transfer in violation of this restriction shall be null and void; provided, however, that (i) Tenant’s rights under this Section 3.4 shall inure to the benefit and may be exercised by a successor in interest to Tenant by merger or consolidation provided that such successor is a Permitted Transferee, and (ii) Tenant may assign its rights under this Section 3.4 to any Permitted Transferee to whom Tenant assigns all of its right, title and interest under this Lease. Any other attempted assignment or transfer by Tenant of its rights under the Section 3.4 shall be null and void and of no force and effect.

(f) Lease Amendment. Upon Tenant’s exercise of the Extension Option, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3.4, the Term shall be extended for the Extension Term without the necessity of the execution of any further instrument or document, although if requested by Landlord or Tenant, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a written agreement modifying and supplementing the Lease in accordance with the provisions hereof; provided, however that Landlord’s failure to prepare or Tenant’s failure to execute such amendment shall not affect the validity of the exercise of the Extension Option or alter Tenant’s or Landlord’s obligations during the Extension Term as determined hereby.

(g) Time of Essence. With respect to all dates for exercising any rights and the performance of any obligations in connection with the exercise or implementation of the Extension Option, time shall be of the essence.

3.5 Delay in Delivery Date. If for any reason other than Tenant Delays (as defined below), the Delivery Date has not occurred by May 1, 2022, then in addition to the postponement of the Commencement Date, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against Base Rent in the amount of $7,396.67 for each day from and including May 1, 2022, through the day immediately preceding the Delivery Date. A “Tenant Delay” means any delay in the completion of the Landlord’s Work arising from the negligent or willful acts or omissions of Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees, or contractors, or Tenant’s failure to comply with any deadlines required under this Lease, including but not limited to plan review periods set forth in EXHIBIT F.

  (N)

Costs of work necessary to correct conditions not in compliance with any applicable laws as of the Delivery Date (taking into account any grandfathered code exception and based on then current interpretations of applicable laws).

(c) Cost Pools. Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to equitably allocate some or all of the Expenses or Taxes for the Project among different portions or occupants of the Project (the “Cost Pools”), in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. Such Cost Pools may include, but shall not be limited to, the office space tenants and retail space tenants of the Building, if applicable. The Expenses and Taxes within each such Cost Pool shall be allocated and charged (without duplication) to the tenants within such Cost Pool in an equitable manner.

(d) Amortization and Accounting Principles.

 

  (1)

Each item of Government Mandated Expenses will be fully amortized in equal annual installments, with interest on the principal balance at the Amortization Rate, over the number of years, not to exceed ten (10), that Landlord reasonably projects the item of Expenses will be productive for its intended use, without replacement, but properly repaired and maintained.

 

  (2)

Each item of Cost-Saving Expenses will be fully amortized in equal annual installments, with interest on the principal balance at the Amortization Rate, over the number of years that Landlord reasonably estimates for the present value of the projected savings in Expenses (discounted at the Amortization Rate) to equal the cost.

 

  (3)

Any item of Expenses of significant cost that is not required to be capitalized but is unexpected or does not typically recur may, in Landlord’s discretion, be amortized in equal annual installments, with interest on the principal balance at the Amortization Rate, over a number of years determined by Landlord.

-14-


(e) Estimates and Payments. Each calendar year, Landlord will reasonably estimate and advise Tenant in writing of Additional Rent that may be payable with respect to such calendar year. Tenant will pay the estimated Additional Rent in advance, in monthly installments, on the first day of each month, until the estimate is revised by Landlord. Landlord may reasonably revise its estimate during a calendar year and the monthly installments after the revision will be paid based on the revised estimate. The aggregate estimates of Additional Rent paid by Tenant in a calendar year is the “Estimated Additional Rent.” The Estimated Additional Rent for the 2021 calendar year is $17.00 per RSF. Without limiting Landlord’s other rights hereunder and at law, Additional Rent not paid within ten (10) days of when due shall be subject to the Late Charge set forth in Section 4.5 below.

(f) Settlement. As soon as practical after the end of each calendar year that Additional Rent is payable, Landlord will give Tenant a statement of the actual Additional Rent for the calendar year (“Statement”). The statement of the actual Additional Rent is conclusive, binds Tenant, and Tenant waives all rights to contest the statement, except for items of Additional Rent to which Tenant objects by giving written notice to Landlord (“Objection Notice”) within one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt of Landlord’s statement; however, Tenant’s objection will not relieve Tenant from its obligation to pay Additional Rent pending resolution of any objection. If the actual Additional Rent exceeds the Estimated Additional Rent for the calendar year, Tenant shall pay the underpayment to Landlord in a lump sum as Rent within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s statement of Additional Rent. If the Estimated Additional Rent exceeds the actual Additional Rent for the calendar year, then Landlord shall credit the overpayment against Rent next due or if the Lease has expired Landlord shall reimburse same to Tenant within thirty (30) days of delivery of such statement of Additional Rent.

(g) Tenant’s Audit Right. Provided that no Default (as defined below) then exists, if Tenant timely delivers an Objection Notice to Landlord, Tenant will have the right, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, except as otherwise set forth below, to cause a Qualified Person (as defined below) to review supporting data for any portion of the Statement of annual Expenses delivered by Landlord in accordance with the procedure set forth below; however in no event may Tenant review or audit income tax records of Landlord or similar financial records related to Landlord as a business entity.

 

  (i)

As part of the Objection Notice, Tenant shall deliver a written notice to Landlord specifying the portions of the Statement that are claimed to be incorrect. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to withhold, deduct, or offset any monetary obligation of Tenant to Landlord under this Lease (including without limitation, Tenant’s obligation to make all payments of rent and all payments of Tenant’s Expenses) pending the completion of and regardless of the results of any review of records under this Section. The right of Tenant under this Section 4.2(g) may only be exercised once for any Statement, and any audit of Landlord’s records must be completed within one hundred twenty (120) days after when Tenant delivers the Objection Notice, subject to extension for Force Majeure. Landlord will reasonably cooperate with Tenant in connection with any audit. If Tenant fails to timely deliver an Objection Notice or to meet any of the other above conditions, the right of Tenant under this Section 4.2(g) for a particular Statement shall be deemed waived.

 

-15-


  (ii)

Landlord will maintain its records for the Project at a location in Austin, Texas (or Landlord will make such records available in Austin, Texas). Except as otherwise set forth herein, Tenant agrees that any review of records under this Section 4.2(g) shall be at the sole expense of Tenant and shall be conducted by a Qualified Person. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that any records reviewed under this Section 4.2(g) constitute confidential information of Landlord, which shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the Qualified Person performing the review, the principals of Tenant who receive the results of the review, Tenant’s employees, or in connection with any legal action between Tenant and Landlord or in connection with which Tenant is compelled to make such disclosure by a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

  (iii)

Any errors disclosed by the review shall be promptly corrected by Landlord, provided, however, that if Landlord disagrees with any such claimed errors, Landlord shall have the right to cause another review to be made by a Qualified Person, at Landlord’s sole cost. In the event of a disagreement between the two (2) reviews, the two (2) Qualified Persons who conducted Landlord’s and Tenant’s reviews shall jointly designate a third (3rd) Qualified Person, the cost of which shall be split evenly between Landlord and Tenant (except as otherwise indicated in this Lease), to conduct a review of Landlord’s records. The review of such third (3rd) Qualified Person shall be deemed correct and binding upon the parties. In the event that the final results of such review of Landlord’s records reveal that Tenant has overpaid obligations for the preceding period, the amount of such overpayment shall be credited against Tenant’s subsequent installment obligations to pay the estimated Expenses. If Tenant has overpaid by more than five percent (5%), Landlord shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket cost of the review of Landlord’s records by Tenant’s Qualified Person and the reasonable out-of-pocket cost of the review of Landlord’s records by the third (3rd) Qualified Person. If the third (3rd) Qualified Person determines that Landlord did not overstate Expenses, then Tenant shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket cost of the review of Landlord’s records by Landlord’s Qualified Person and the reasonable out-of-pocket cost of the review of Landlord’s records by the third (3rd) Qualified Person. If this Lease has expired, Landlord shall return the amount of such overpayment to Tenant within thirty (30) days after such reviews have been made. In the event that such results show that Tenant has underpaid its obligations for a preceding period, the amount of such underpayment shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after such review is made. A “Qualified Person” means an accountant or other person experienced in accounting for income and expenses of office projects engaged solely on terms which do not entail any compensation based or measured in any way upon any savings in rent or reduction in Expenses achieved through the inspection process.

 

-16-


4.3 Other Taxes. Upon demand, Tenant will reimburse Landlord for taxes paid by Landlord on (a) Tenant’s Personal Property, (b) Rent, (c) Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises, or (d) this Lease. If Tenant cannot lawfully reimburse Landlord for these taxes, then to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, the Base Rent will be increased to yield to Landlord the same amount after these taxes were imposed as Landlord would have received before these taxes were imposed.

4.4 Terms of Payment.Rent” means all amounts payable by Tenant under this Lease and the Exhibits, including without limitation Base Rent, Additional Rent, and charges for any Additional Services (as defined in Section 6.2). If a time for payment of an item of Rent is not specified in this Lease, then Tenant will pay such item of Rent within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s statement or invoice. Unless otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant shall pay Rent without notice, demand, deduction, abatement or setoff, in lawful U.S. currency, at Landlord’s Billing Address. Neither Landlord’s failure to send an invoice nor Tenant’s failure to receive an invoice for Base Rent (and installments of Estimated Additional Rent) will relieve Tenant of its obligation to timely pay Base Rent (and installments of Estimated Additional Rent). Each partial payment by Tenant shall be deemed a payment on account; and, no endorsement or statement on any check or any accompanying letter shall constitute an accord and satisfaction, or affect Landlord’s right to collect the full amount due. No payment by Tenant to Landlord will be deemed to extend the Term or render any notice, pending suit or judgment ineffective. By notice to the other, each party may change its Billing Address.

4.5 Late Payment. If Landlord does not receive any item of Rent within five (5) days of when due, including without limitation Base Rent, Additional Rent, and charges for any Additional Services, then Tenant shall pay Landlord a “Late Charge” of five percent (5%) of the overdue amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the first occurrence of any delinquent payment by Tenant under this Lease in any twelve (12) month period shall give rise to a late charge only if Tenant fails to cure such delinquency within five (5) business days after written notice from Landlord thereof. Tenant agrees that the Late Charge is not a penalty, and will compensate Landlord for costs not contemplated under this Lease that are impracticable or extremely difficult to fix. Landlord’s acceptance of a Late Charge does not waive any Tenant default arising from such late payment.

4.6 Waiver of Tenant Rights and Benefits Under Section 93.012, Texas Property Code. Landlord and Tenant are knowledgeable and experienced in commercial leasing transactions and agree that the provisions of this Lease for determining all charges, amounts, and Additional Rent payable by Tenant (including, without limitation, payments under this Section 4.6), are commercially reasonable and valid even though such methods may not state a precise mathematical formula for determining such charges. Accordingly, Tenant voluntarily and knowingly waives all rights and benefits of a tenant under Section 93.012, Texas Property Code, as such section now exists or as may be hereafter amended or succeeded. Nothing contained in this waiver however is intended to limit or impair, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease to the contrary, any other remedy available to Tenant under the Lease or at law or in equity (other than Section 93.012, Texas Property Code). In addition, nothing in this Section 4.6 shall constitute a waiver of Tenant’s right to dispute and/or initiate a claim disputing Landlord’s methods of calculating or determining Expenses and/or Landlord’s calculation or determination of Additional Rent.

In the event Landlord fails to commence the repair of the Project as required by Section 7.2, which failure to commence the repair(s) continues at the end of thirty (30) days following receipt by Landlord and any Encumbrance holder (provided Tenant has been provided written notice of the address of such Encumbrance holder) of written notice from Tenant stating with particularity the nature of the required repair (a “Repair Action”) (except (i) in the event of an emergency, in which case no prior notice from Tenant is required, and (ii) if the failure to perform the repair will have a material adverse effect on Tenant’s conduct of its business operations in the Premises (e.g., the failure of the air conditioning system during the summer), in which case only forty-eight (48) hours’ notice shall be required), then, provided Tenant has delivered an additional five (5) business days’ notice to Landlord specifying in 12 point boldface type on the first page of such notice (or it shall not be deemed validly given to Landlord) the following, “YOUR FAILURE TO COMMENCE THE REPAIR ACTION SET FORTH IN THIS NOTICE WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS SHALL ENTITLE THE UNDERSIGNED TO REPAIR SUCH ITEM AT LANDLORD’S EXPENSE WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE,” and Landlord or such Encumbrance holder has failed to commence the Repair Action within such five (5) business day period, Tenant may proceed with taking such Repair Action (provided, however, that such additional five (5) business day notice shall not be

 

-23-


required in the event of an emergency situation that poses an imminent and significant risk of injury to persons or material damage to property or if the failure to perform the repair will have a material adverse effect on Tenant’s conduct of its business operations in the Premises). In the event Tenant takes such Repair Action, Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to use those contractors used by Landlord in the construction of the Project (provided they were identified to Tenant in a writing given to Tenant by Landlord prior to the additional five (5) business day notice concerning such Repair Action for the applicable required work) unless such contractors are unwilling or unable to perform, or timely perform, such work, in which event Tenant may utilize the services of any other qualified, licensed and bondable contractor which normally and regularly performs similar work on similar buildings in Austin, Texas. Landlord shall pay to Tenant the out-of-pocket direct cost of such cure within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s (and, if Tenant has been given prior written notice of the address of any Encumbrance holder, such Encumbrance holder’s) receipt of Tenant’s demand therefor, then Tenant may provide to Landlord and such Encumbrance holder a second written demand therefor (“Second Demand”) which contains the following phrase on the first page of the notice in all capital letters and boldface type (or it shall not be deemed validly delivered to Landlord): “YOUR FAILURE TO REIMBURSE TENANT AS REQUIRED HEREIN WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS SHALL ENTITLE THE UNDERSIGNED TO EXERCISE CERTAIN OFFSET RIGHTS AS SET FORTH IN THE LEASE WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE.” If Landlord fails to pay to Tenant the amount due to Tenant within ten (10) days following Landlord’s receipt of the Second Demand, then Tenant may offset up to twenty-five percent (25%) from the next installment(s) of Base Rent coming due under this Lease until such time as the full amount owed by Landlord to Tenant has been recovered by Tenant. Tenant shall comply with the other terms and provisions of this Lease if Tenant takes the Repair Action, except that Tenant is not required to obtain Landlord’s consent for such repairs.

Tenant may not permit any liens to be filed against the Project or Tenant’s leasehold interest in connection with any Alterations, and if any such liens are filed then Tenant must cause the same to be released or bonded over within twenty (20) days after receipt of notice that the same have been filed. All Alterations shall comply with law and insurance requirements, including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and any regulations issued thereunder, as the same may be amended from time to time (“ADA”). In addition, all Alterations must be constructed in strict compliance with the green building requirements set forth in EXHIBIT G. Landlord’s designated contractors must perform Alterations affecting the Base Building or Mechanical Systems; and, all other work will be performed by qualified contractors that meet Landlord’s insurance requirements and are otherwise approved by Landlord.

8.2 Alterations by Landlord. Landlord may make any modifications, additions, renovations or improvements to the Common Areas or to any portion of the Building outside the Premises that Landlord reasonably deems appropriate, provided Landlord uses commercially reasonable efforts to avoid disrupting Tenant’s business or interfering with access to or Tenant’s use of the Premises.

8.3 Liens and Disputes. Tenant will keep title to the Land and Building free of any liens concerning the Leasehold Improvements (except that Landlord shall be responsible for the removal of any liens concerning the Tenant Improvements), Alterations, or Tenant’s Personal Property, and will take whatever action is required to have any of such liens released and removed of record within twenty (20) days after the filing thereof (including, as necessary, posting a bond or other deposit). To the extent legally permitted, each contract and subcontract for Alterations will provide that no lien attaches to or may be claimed against the Project other than Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Premises.

  (4)

Transfer of effective control of Tenant.

13.2 Prohibited Transfers. If Landlord or its beneficial owner is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), Tenant may not enter into any Transfer if such Transfer will result in any portion of the Rent not constituting “rents from real property” with respect to Landlord, within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). In particular, Tenant may not enter into a Transfer (A) that provides for rent or other compensation based in whole or in part on the net income or profits from the business operated in the Premises, or (B) if the proposed transferee is directly or indirectly related to the Landlord under Section 856, et seq. of the Code. Any such Transfers shall be considered null, void and of no force or effect.

13.3 Consent Not Required. If Tenant is not in default or breach of this Lease, Tenant may effect a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee without Landlord’s prior consent, but with notice to Landlord prior to the Permitted Transferee’s occupancy, and provided further that Hippo Analytics Inc. will remain obligated for all purposes as “Tenant” under the Lease, and the Guarantor shall remain Guarantor under the Lease. “Permitted Transferee” means any person or entity that either (1) controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant (for purposes hereof, “control” shall mean ownership of not less than fifty percent (50%) of all of the voting stock or legal and equitable interest in the entity in question), (2) results from the merger or consolidation of Tenant, or (3) acquires all or substantially all of the stock and/or assets of Tenant as a going concern.

13.4 Consent Required. Each proposed Transfer other than those prohibited under Section 13.2 or permitted under Section 13.3 requires Landlord’s prior written consent, in which case the parties will proceed as follows:

(a) Tenant’s Notice. Tenant shall notify Landlord at least twenty (20) days prior to the proposed Transfer of the name and address of the proposed transferee and the proposed use of the Premises, and include with the notice copies of the proposed Transfer documents, including without limitation the proposed assignment of lease or proposed sublease document, as applicable, and copies of the proposed transferee’s balance sheets and income statements (both current and for the past two (2) years, if available, or for such lesser period as the proposed transferee has been in existence), as well as such other information as may be reasonably required by Landlord. LANDLORD WILL HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO REVIEW A PROPOSED TRANSFER OR TO CONSENT OR DENY CONSENT TO A PROPOSED TRANSFER UNTIL ALL ITEMS AND INFORMATION SET FORTH ABOVE IN THIS SECTION 13.4(a) HAVE BEEN PROVIDED TO LANDLORD.

 

-32-


(b) Landlord’s Rights. Within ten (10) business days after receipt of Tenant’s complete notice and all items required under Section 13.4(a), Landlord may either:

 

  (1)

If the proposed Transfer is either an assignment or a sublease of more than 60% of the Premises for substantially all of the then remaining unelapsed Term, terminate this Lease as to the affected portion of the Premises as of the proposed Transfer date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord elects to recapture the Premises (or any such portion thereof), Tenant shall have ten (10) days to withdraw its request for consent to sublet; or

 

  (2)

Provide written consent or deny consent (which denial must specify the reasons for denying consent) to the proposed Transfer. Landlord’s consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed if:

 

  (A)

The proposed transferee, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, has the financial capacity to meet its obligations under the proposed Transfer;

 

  (B)

The proposed use is consistent with the Use;

 

  (C)

The proposed transferee is typical of tenants that directly lease premises in first-class office buildings;

 

  (E)

The proposed transferee is not a governmental entity or other entity that benefits from sovereign immunity; and

 

  (G)

Tenant is not in Default under this Lease.

(c) Compelling Consent. If Landlord does not consent to a Transfer, Tenant’s sole remedy against Landlord will be an action for specific performance or declaratory relief, and Tenant may not terminate this Lease or seek monetary damages

13.5 Payments to Landlord. Tenant shall pay Landlord fifty percent (50%) of Transfer receipts that exceed Tenant’s Rent (on a per square foot basis), after deducting the reasonable and customary out-of-pocket costs incurred by Tenant in connection with the Transfer, including attorneys’ fees, Alterations, broker commissions and the amounts payable to Landlord pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 13.5 (“Transfer Expenses”). Tenant shall pay Landlord a One Thousand Dollar ($1,000) review fee, and reimburse Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, for each proposed Transfer.

13.6 Effect of Transfers. No Transfer will release Tenant or any guarantor from any Lease obligation. Landlord’s acceptance of a payment from any person or entity other than Tenant that occupies the Premises does not waive Tenant’s obligations under this Article 13. If Tenant is in Default of this Lease, Landlord may proceed against Tenant without exhausting any remedies against any transferee and may require (by written notice to any transferee) any transferee to pay Transfer rent owed Tenant directly to Landlord (which Landlord will apply against Tenant’s Lease obligations). Termination of this Lease for any reason will not result in a merger. Each sublease will be deemed terminated upon termination of this Lease unless Landlord notifies the subtenant in writing of Landlord’s election to assume any sublease, in which case the subtenant shall attorn to Landlord under the executory terms of the sublease. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer in violation of the provisions of this Article 13 shall be void and of no force and effect.

LANDLORD TRANSFERS

14.1 Landlord’s Transfer. Landlord’s right to transfer any interest in the Project or this Lease is not limited by this Lease. Upon any such transfer, provided that the transferee assumes in writing all of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease arising on or after the date of such transfer, Tenant will attorn to Landlord’s transferee and Landlord will be released from liability under this Lease, except for any Lease obligations accruing before the transfer that are not assumed by the transferee.

14.2 Subordination. This Lease is, and will at all times be, subject and subordinate to each ground lease, mortgage, deed to secure debt or deed of trust now or later encumbering the Project or any portion thereof, including each renewal, modification, supplement, amendment, consolidation or replacement thereof (each, an “Encumbrance”), subject to the delivery to Tenant of a commercially reasonable form of subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement from each Encumbrance holder which requires such Encumbrance holder to accept this Lease, and not to disturb Tenant’s possession, so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any applicable grace or cure period (an “SNDA”). Within ten (10) business days of Landlord’s request, Tenant will, without charge, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord (or, at Landlord’s request, the Encumbrance holder) any instrument reasonably necessary to evidence this subordination, subject to the delivery to Tenant of a commercially reasonable form of SNDA. If Tenant fails to execute and deliver such instrument within said ten-business-day period, Tenant hereby authorizes Landlord to execute the same as Tenant’s attorney in fact. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Encumbrance holder may unilaterally elect to subordinate its Encumbrance to this Lease. The subordination of this Lease to any future Encumbrance shall be subject to delivery to Tenant of an SNDA from such future Encumbrance holder, in a form reasonably acceptable to Tenant and such Encumbrance holder. Within thirty (30) days after the execution of this Lease by both parties, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant an SNDA in a form acceptable to Tenant for Tenant’s execution, which will subsequently be executed by each current Encumbrance holder. If Landlord is unable to deliver to Tenant an SNDA in a form acceptable to Tenant for Tenant’s execution prior to the expiration of sixty (60) days after the Execution Date, Tenant may terminate the Lease upon written notice to Landlord thereof, and Landlord will return to Tenant all amounts paid to Landlord under the Lease. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that there is no ground lease encumbering all or any portion of the Project as of the Execution Date or as of the Effective Date.

14.3 Attornment. Upon written request of a Successor Landlord (as such term is defined below), Tenant will attorn to any transferee of Landlord’s interest in the Project that succeeds Landlord by reason of a termination, foreclosure or enforcement proceeding of an Encumbrance, or by delivery of a deed in lieu of any foreclosure or proceeding (a “Successor Landlord”), provided that either the holder of such Encumbrance entered into an SNDA with respect to this Lease or the Successor Landlord agrees to accept this Lease, and not to disturb Tenant’s possession, so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any applicable grace or cure period. In this event, the Lease will continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between the Successor Landlord and Tenant on all of the terms of this Lease, except that the Successor Landlord shall not be:

 

-34-


(a) Liable for any obligation of Landlord under this Lease, except for any continuing default by Landlord (such as, for example, a default with respect to a repair obligation), or be subject to any counterclaim, defense or offset accruing before Successor Landlord succeeds to Landlord’s interest;

(b) Bound by any modification or amendment of this Lease entered into after the applicable Encumbrance was recorded against the Project and made without the written consent of such Encumbrance holder, except for any amendment or modification of this Lease pursuant to Tenant’s strict exercise of an express right or option granted to Tenant under this Lease;

(c) Bound by any prepayment of more than one month’s Rent;

(d) Obligated to return any security deposit not paid over to Successor Landlord; or

(e) Obligated to perform any improvements to the Premises (or provide an allowance therefor), except for the completion of Landlord’s Work. Upon Successor Landlord’s request, Tenant will, without charge, promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver to Successor Landlord any instrument reasonably necessary to evidence such attornment, provided that such instrument includes non-disturbance protection with respect to this Lease.

14.4 Estoppel Certificate. Within ten (10) business days after receipt of Landlord’s written request, Tenant (and each guarantor of the Lease) will execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a certificate upon which Landlord and each existing or prospective Encumbrance holder or prospective purchaser may rely confirming the following (or any exceptions to the following):

(a) The Commencement Date and Expiration Date;

(b) The documents that constitute the Lease, and that the Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect;

(c) The date through which Base Rent, Additional Rent, and other Rent has been paid;

(d) That, to Tenant’s actual knowledge, neither Landlord nor Tenant is in Default;

(e) That, to Tenant’s actual knowledge, Landlord has satisfied all Lease obligations to improve the Premises and Tenant has accepted the Premises;

(f) That Tenant solely occupies the Premises; and

(g) Such other typical estoppel matters concerning this Lease or Tenant’s occupancy that Landlord may reasonably require.

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

15.1 Tenant’s Default and Remedies.

(a) Tenant will be in “Default” of this Lease if Tenant either:

 

  (1)

Fails to pay Rent when due, and the failure continues for three (3) days after Landlord notifies Tenant of this failure (Tenant waiving any other notice that may be required by law);

 

  (2)

Fails to perform or comply with a non-monetary Lease obligation of Tenant (other than those obligations described in Section 15.1(a)(3) through (5), below), and the failure continues for thirty (30) days after Landlord notifies Tenant of this failure, but:

 

  (A)

In an emergency involving a serious risk of injury to persons or damage to property, Landlord may require Tenant to perform this obligation in a reasonable time of less than thirty (30) days, or

 

  (B)

If it will reasonably take more than thirty (30) days to perform this obligation, then Tenant will have a reasonable time not exceeding ninety (90) additional days to perform this obligation, but only if Tenant commences performing this obligation within ten (10) days after Landlord notifies Tenant of this failure and Tenant diligently pursues completion thereafter;

 

  (3)

Consummates a Transfer that violates Article 13 and such Transfer is not rescinded or otherwise cured within ten (10) business days after Landlord notifies Tenant of such default;

  (5)

Fails, within sixty (60) days after it occurs, to have vacated or dismissed any appointment of a receiver or trustee of Tenant’s assets (or any Lease guarantor’s assets), or any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or assignment for the benefit of Tenant’s creditors (or any Lease guarantor’s creditors).

15.2 Landlord Remedies.

(a) Upon the occurrence of any Default by Tenant, Landlord shall have the following rights and remedies, in addition to those allowed by law or equity, any one or more of which may be exercised without further notice to or demand upon Tenant and which may be pursued successively or cumulatively as Landlord may elect:

 

  (1)

Landlord may re-enter the Premises and attempt to cure any Default of Tenant, in which event Tenant shall, upon demand, reimburse Landlord as Additional Rent for all reasonable costs and expenses which Landlord incurs to cure such Default;

 

-36-


  (2)

Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving to Tenant notice of Landlord’s election to do so, in which event the Term shall end, and all right, title and interest of Tenant hereunder shall expire, on the date stated in such notice;

 

  (3)

Landlord may terminate the right of Tenant to possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease by giving notice to Tenant that Tenant’s right to possession shall end on the date stated in such notice, whereupon the right of Tenant to possession of the Premises or any part thereof shall cease on the date stated in such notice; and

 

  (4)

Landlord may enforce the provisions of this Lease by a suit or suits in equity or at law for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained herein, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy, including recovery of all moneys due or to become due from Tenant under any of the provisions of this Lease.

(b) Landlord shall not be required to serve Tenant with any notices or demands as a prerequisite to its exercise of any of its rights or remedies under this Lease, other than those notices and demands specifically required under this Lease or by applicable law (including without limitation any notice required to be given under Section 24.001, et seq., Texas Property Code). In order to regain possession of the Premises and to deny Tenant access thereto during the continuance of a Default, Landlord or its agent may, at the expense and liability of the Tenant, alter or change any or all locks or other security devices controlling access to the Premises without posting or giving notice of any kind to Tenant and Landlord shall have no obligation to provide Tenant a key to new locks installed in the Premises or grant Tenant access to the Premises. Tenant shall not be entitled to recover possession of the Premises, terminate this Lease, or recover any actual, incidental, consequential, punitive, statutory or other damages or award of attorneys’ fees by reason of Landlord’s alteration or change of any lock or other security device and the resulting exclusion from the Premises of the Tenant or Tenant’s agents, servants, employees, customers, licensees, invitees or any other persons from the Premises. Landlord may, without notice, remove and either dispose of or store, at Tenant’s expense, any property belonging to Tenant that remains in the Premises after Landlord has regained possession thereof. Tenant acknowledges that the provisions of this subparagraph of this Lease supersede Section 93.002 of the Texas Property Code and Tenant further warrants and represents that it hereby knowingly waives any rights it may have thereunder; provided, however, that nothing set forth in this Section 15.2(b) shall limit or waive Tenant’s rights and remedies at law or in equity in connection with any wrongful exclusion of Tenant or Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in exercising its rights and remedies under Section 15.2(a).

(d) If Landlord terminates the right of Tenant to possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to immediate recovery of all amounts then due hereunder. Such termination of possession shall not release Tenant, in whole or in part, from Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent hereunder for the full Term, and Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to recover from Tenant, and Tenant shall remain liable for, all Rent accruing as it becomes due under this Lease during the period from the date of such notice of termination of possession to the stated end of the Term. In any such case, Landlord shall make reasonable efforts, in accordance with Section 15.2(f) hereof, to relet the Premises. In attempting to relet the Premises, Landlord may make repairs, alterations and additions in or to the Premises and redecorate the same to the extent reasonably deemed by Landlord necessary or desirable, and Tenant upon demand shall pay the reasonable cost of all of the foregoing together with Landlord’s reasonable expenses of reletting. The rents from any such reletting shall be applied first to the payment of the expenses of reentry, redecoration, repair and alterations and the expenses of reletting (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and brokers’ fees and commissions) and second to the payment of Rent herein provided to be paid by Tenant. Any excess or residue shall operate only as an offsetting credit against the amount of Rent due and owing as the same thereafter becomes due and payable hereunder.

(e) If this Lease is terminated by Landlord, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all Rent accrued and unpaid for the period up to and including such termination date, as well as all other additional sums payable by Tenant, or for which Tenant is liable or for which Tenant has agreed to indemnify Landlord, which may be then owing and unpaid, and all reasonable costs and expenses, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord in the enforcement of its rights and remedies hereunder. In addition, Landlord shall be entitled to recover as damages for loss of the bargain and not as a penalty (1) the unamortized portion of any concessions offered by Landlord to Tenant in connection with this Lease, including without limitation Landlord’s contribution to the cost of tenant improvements, if any, installed by either Landlord or Tenant pursuant to this Lease or any work letter in connection with this Lease, (2) the aggregate sum which at the time of such termination represents the excess, if any, of the present value of the aggregate Rent which would have been payable after the termination date had this Lease not been terminated, including, without limitation, the amount projected by Landlord to represent Additional Rent for the remainder of the Term (assuming eight percent (8.00%) annual increases thereto), over the then present value of the then aggregate fair rent value of the Premises for the balance of the Term (taking into account, among other factors, the probability of reletting the Premises for all or part of the remainder of the Term, and the anticipated duration of the period the Premises will be unoccupied prior to reletting), such present worth to be computed in each case using the then current discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York from the respective dates upon which such Rent would have been payable hereunder had this Lease not been terminated, and (3) the cost of repossessing, remodeling and re-renting the Premises and any damages in addition thereto, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, which Landlord sustains as a result of the breach of any of the covenants of this Lease other than for the payment of Rent.

 

-38-


(f) To the extent required by applicable laws, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any damages resulting from a Default by Tenant under this Lease. Landlord’s obligation to mitigate damages after a Default by Tenant under this Lease shall be satisfied in full if Landlord undertakes to lease the Premises to another tenant (a “Substitute Tenant”) in accordance with the following criteria: (1) Landlord shall have no obligation to solicit or entertain negotiations with any other prospective tenants for the Premises until Landlord obtains full and complete possession of the Premises including, without limitation, the final and unappealable legal right to relet the Premises free of any claim of Tenant; (2) Landlord shall not be obligated to lease or show the Premises, on a priority basis, or offer the Premises to a prospective tenant when other premises in the Building suitable for that prospective tenant’s use are (or soon will be) available; (3) Landlord shall not be obligated to lease the Premises to a Substitute Tenant for a rent less than the current fair market rent then prevailing for similar uses in comparable buildings in the same market area as the Building, nor shall Landlord be obligated to enter into a new lease under other terms and conditions that are unacceptable to Landlord under Landlord’s then current leasing policies for comparable space in the Building; (4) Landlord shall not be obligated to enter into a lease with a Substitute Tenant that is a governmental entity or whose use would: (i) violate any restriction, covenant, or requirement contained in the lease of another tenant of the Building; (ii) adversely affect the reputation of the Building; or (iii) be incompatible with the operation of the Building; and (5) Landlord shall not be obligated to enter into a lease with any proposed Substitute Tenant which does not have, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, sufficient financial resources to operate the Premises in a first class manner and to fulfill all of the obligations in connection with the lease thereof as and when the same become due.

(g) The receipt by Landlord of less than the full Rent due shall not be construed to be other than a payment on account of Rent then due, nor shall any statement on Tenant’s check or any letter accompanying Tenant’s check be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of the Rent due or to pursue any other remedies provided in this Lease. The acceptance by Landlord of Rent hereunder shall not be construed to be a waiver of any breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease. No act or omission by Landlord or its employees or agents during the term of this Lease shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept such a surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord.

(h) In the event of any litigation between Tenant and Landlord to enforce or interpret any provision of this Lease or to enforce any right of either party hereto, the unsuccessful party to such litigation shall pay to the successful party all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred therein.

 

-39-


(i) All property of Tenant removed from the Premises by Landlord pursuant to any provision of this Lease or applicable law may be handled, removed or stored by Landlord at the cost and expense of Tenant, and Landlord shall not be responsible in any event for the value, preservation or safekeeping thereof, except to the extent of Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Tenant shall pay Landlord for all expenses incurred by Landlord with respect to such removal and storage so long as the same is in Landlord’s possession or under Landlord’s control. All such property not removed from the Premises or retaken from storage by Tenant within thirty (30) days after the end of the Term or termination of Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, however terminated, at Landlord’s option, shall be conclusively deemed to have been conveyed by Tenant to Landlord by bill of sale with general warranty of title without further payment or credit by Landlord to Tenant.

(j) For any amounts owed under this Section 15.2, Landlord may recover interest at the maximum rate permitted under applicable law (the “Default Rate”) from the date each amount is due until paid by Tenant.

15.3 Landlord’s Default and Remedies.

(a) Landlord will be in default of this Lease if Landlord fails to perform any Lease obligation of Landlord and this failure continues for thirty (30) days after Tenant notifies Landlord of such failure, or such longer period of time not exceeding ninety (90) additional days if more than thirty (30) days is reasonably required to perform this obligation so long as performance commences within ten (10) days after Tenant notifies Landlord of this failure and is diligently prosecuted to completion; provided, however, in an emergency involving a serious risk of injury to persons or damage to property, Landlord will perform this obligation in a reasonable time of less than thirty (30) days.

(b) If Landlord commits a default, then Tenant may exercise any remedy available under law that is not waived or limited under this Lease, subject to the following:

 

  (1)

Tenant may not terminate this Lease due to any Landlord default.

 

  (2)

Landlord’s liability under this Lease or for any matter relating to the occupancy or use of the Premises and/or the Project is limited to Landlord’s interest in the Building (including any sales proceeds received by Landlord in connection with the Building).

  (4)

Any liability of Landlord to Tenant (or any person or entity claiming by, through or under Tenant) for any default by Landlord under this Lease or any matter relating to the occupancy or use of the Premises and/or the Project shall be limited to Tenant’s actual direct, but not consequential, damages therefor.

 

-40-


  (5)

Tenant hereby waives any statutory lien created or granted pursuant to Section 91.004 of the Texas Property Code.

 

  (6)

IN NO EVENT SHALL LANDLORD OR ANY OF LANDLORD’S AFFILIATES BE LIABLE TO TENANT FOR ANY LOST PROFIT, DAMAGE TO OR LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANY FORM OF SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE, EVEN IF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE IS CAUSED BY LANDLORD’S, OR A LANDLORD’S AFFILIATE’S, NEGLIGENCE.

15.4 Enforcement Costs. If Landlord or Tenant brings any action against the other to enforce or interpret any provision of this Lease (including any claim in a bankruptcy or an assignment for the benefit of creditors), the prevailing party shall recover from the other reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in such action. This clause specifically includes all costs incurred by a party in connection with enforcing its rights under this Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding, or other proceeding under Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, including without limitation, legal fees, experts’ fees and expenses, court costs and consulting fees.

15.5 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. LANDLORD AND TENANT EACH WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY AGAINST THE OTHER CONCERNING ANY MATTER RELATED TO THIS LEASE.

15.6 Force Majeure. If either party shall be delayed in, or prevented from, the performance of any act or service required under this Lease, by reason of strikes, inability to procure materials, failure of power, restrictive governmental laws or regulations, riot, insurrection war, terrorism, or any act of God, fire or other casualty, pandemic, epidemic, quarantine or other serious health crisis, or other reasons of a similar or dissimilar nature which are beyond the reasonable control of the party (“Force Majeure”), then the performance of any such act or service shall be excused for the period of the resulting delay. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph shall not be applied so as to excuse or delay (a) payment of any monies from one party to the other, including Rent, or (b) performance of obligations which can be cured by the payment of monies.

 

16.

SECURITY DEPOSIT

Tenant shall deposit the Security Deposit with Landlord in the amounts and at such times as specified in Section 1.1(o), and it shall be a Default under this Lease for Tenant to fail to make such timely payments. Said sum shall be held by Landlord as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be kept and performed by Tenant and not as an advance rental deposit or as a measure of Landlord’s damage in case of Tenant’s default. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, Landlord may use any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any rent or any other sum in default, or for the payment of any amount which Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant’s default, or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant’s default. If any portion is so used, Tenant shall within

 

-41-


five (5) business days after written demand therefor, deposit with Landlord an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount and Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. Except to such extent, if any, as shall be required by law, Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on such deposit. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully perform every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, the Security Deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant within sixty (60) days after termination of the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that there has been no prior Default (beyond any applicable notice and cure period therefor) upon written request by Tenant to Landlord, effective as of (a) the first day of the twenty-fourth (24th) Month of the Term, the Security Deposit will be reduced to $801,557; (b) the first day of the thirty-sixth (36th) Month of the Term, the Security Deposit will be reduced to $667,964; (c) the first day of the forty-eighth (48th) Month of the Term, the Security Deposit will be reduced to $534,371; (d) the first day of the sixtieth (60th) Month of the Term, the Security Deposit will be reduced to $400,778; (e) the first day of the seventy-second (72nd), Month of the Term, the Security Deposit will be reduced to $267,185; and (f) the first day of the eighty-fourth (84th) Month of the Term, the Security Deposit will be reduced to $133,592.

Waterloo Central

(1) During the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall provide to Tenant the number of parking passes specified in Section 1.1 at the monthly rate (plus applicable taxes) provided below. As of the Commencement Date, the monthly parking charge for unreserved parking spaces will be $205.00 per month per space (plus applicable taxes). During the Term, Landlord will be leasing the unreserved parking spaces from the City of Austin and, therefore, the City of Austin may, from time-to-time, increase the monthly charge for such unreserved parking spaces. In the event the City of Austin increases its parking rates for the unreserved parking spaces, Landlord may (in its sole and absolute discretion) annually increase the monthly parking charge for each unreserved parking space during the Term by the amount of the City’s increase by providing Tenant with written notice of such increase no later than thirty (30) days prior to each anniversary of the Commencement Date, with such increase in the monthly parking charge becoming effective on the anniversary of the Commencement Date. All of such parking spaces will be unreserved and on or in the parking garage (the “Garage”) for the Building located at 601E. 5th St., Austin, Texas 78701. Prior to issuance of the parking permits, Tenant must deliver to Landlord a list of automobile license numbers of Tenant’s employees who will be using the permits. If any permit is lost, damaged or not returned to Landlord on request, payment of replacement fee must be delivered to Landlord before a replacement permit is issued to Tenant. Tenant shall not have the right to lease or otherwise use more parking spaces than the number set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions; provided, however, that upon Tenant’s written request, Landlord shall provide to Tenant additional parking passes on the terms set forth in this EXHIBIT D, to the extent such additional parking passes are available. Subject to the foregoing limit on the number of parking passes specified in Section 1.1, Tenant may increase or decrease the number of parking passes used by Tenant at any time and from time to time, upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Landlord. Monthly parking fees (plus applicable taxes) shall be due and payable before the first day of each month during the Term. Parking charges will not be prorated for partial months at the beginning or end of the Term.

Landlord shall pay any costs for such relocated parking areas that are in excess of the monthly rates charged in the Garage.

3. Construction Documents.

(a) Working Drawings. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Execution Date of the Lease, Landlord shall deliver the Preliminary CDs to Tenant in electronic Autocad format together with a full-size hard copy. Within thirty (30) days thereafter, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing whether it approves or disapproves of the Preliminary CDs, and any disapproval shall include reasonable details of the reasons therefor, in which case Landlord shall revise the Preliminary CDs in accordance with Tenant’s objections and submit revised Preliminary CDs to Tenant. Within ten (10) business days after such resubmission, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing whether it approves or disapproves of the re-submitted Preliminary CDs, including reasonable details regarding any disapproval.

Landlord’s written approval or disapproval of such request shall be made within the time periods and governed by the standards for approval of the Preliminary CDs as described above and such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed unless the change reveals a Design Problem. If Landlord approves such request, same shall be evidenced by a written change order executed by Landlord and Tenant (“Change Order”), and Tenant shall be responsible for any incremental, net increase in the cost of construction of the Tenant Improvements resulting from any Change Orders requested by Tenant (a “Change Order Excess Cost”), and Tenant shall pay all such Change Order Excess Costs to Landlord prior to commencement of Construction of the Tenant Improvements.

7. Substantial Completion; Punch-List. “Substantial Completion” means that the Tenant Improvements have been substantially completed in accordance with the Final CDs as reasonably determined by Architect, even though minor details of construction, decoration, mechanical adjustments and other “punch-list” items may remain to be completed.

In Landlord’s sole discretion, Landlord may withhold from the amounts paid to the General Contractor a ten percent (10%) retention (the aggregate amount of any such retentions to be known as the “Retainage”), which Retainage shall be paid to the General Contractor in accordance with the terms of the construction contract between Landlord and the General Contractor. As described in Section 4 (a) and Section 6 of this Exhibit F, Tenant shall have paid to Landlord any Excess Costs or Change Order Excess Costs prior to commencement of such work, and as such, those amounts shall be applied first against any Application for Payment. Thereafter, Landlord shall pay to the General Contractor the remaining balance of the Application for Payment (the “Balance”) less applicable Retainage, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord ten percent (10%) of the Balance within five (5) business days of receipt of a copy of the Application for Payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) upon the final Application for Payment, within five (5) business days Tenant shall pay to Landlord the full remaining balance of Tenant’s Contribution; and (ii) Landlord shall be responsible for Construction Costs in excess of Tenant’s Contribution, Landlord’s Contribution, and Excess Costs and Change Order Excess Costs.

GUARANTY

LEASE GUARANTY AGREEMENT

THIS LEASE GUARANTY AGREEMENT (this “Guaranty”) is made and executed effective as of the __ day of                     , 2020, by HIPPO ENTERPRISES INC., a Delaware corporation (“Guarantor”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

A. Elevate Sabine, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Landlord”), has entered into that certain Lease Agreement of even date herewith (the “Lease”) with Hippo Analytics Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), for those certain leased premises (the “Premises”) in the office building locally known as Waterloo Central, located at 701 E. 5th St., in the City of Austin, Texas (the “Building”), as more particularly described in the Lease, reference to which is hereby made for all relevant purposes, including, without limitation, for a full description of the Guaranteed Obligations (as hereinafter defined), each and all of which are incorporated herein by reference.

B. Guarantor has received a true and correct copy of, has reviewed, and is familiar with and understands the terms and provisions of, the Lease.

C. Guarantor desires to execute and deliver to and for the benefit of Landlord, and Landlord desires to accept from Guarantor, this Guaranty, by the terms of which Guarantor does hereby guarantee the prompt payment and performance of all of the indebtedness and the obligations of Tenant arising under, pursuant to, or in connection with, the Lease.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises set forth herein, for the cash sum of Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration this day paid in hand to or for the benefit of Guarantor, and for other good and valuable consideration, including, but not limited to, Landlord’s execution of the Lease with Tenant (which, Guarantor recognizes, Landlord would not do but for Guarantor’s execution and delivery of this Guaranty), the receipt and sufficiency of all of which are hereby expressly acknowledged and confessed, Guarantor does hereby agree as follows:

1. Guaranty. Guarantor does hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee to Landlord and its successors or assigns: (a) the full and punctual payment when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of all sums due and owing or to become due and owing by Tenant under, pursuant to, or in connection with, the Lease, together with any and all extensions or renewals thereof and amendments and modifications thereto (being collectively referred to hereinafter as the “Lease”); and (b) the full, prompt and faithful performance of each and every obligation of Tenant under the Lease. As used in this Guaranty, the term “Guaranteed Obligations” means all indebtedness and obligations of Tenant guaranteed by Guarantor and described in this Section 1.

 

EXHIBIT H

-1-


2. Term. The obligations of Guarantor as to the Guaranteed Obligations shall continue in full force and effect against Guarantor until the Guaranteed Obligations are paid and performed in full. This Guaranty covers any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether presently outstanding or arising subsequent to the date hereof.

3. Primary Liability of Guarantor. This Guaranty constitutes a primary obligation of Guarantor. This is an absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, and is thus in no way conditioned upon any attempt to collect from Tenant, or upon any other event or contingency whatsoever. Guarantor agrees that Landlord is not required, as a condition to establishing any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, to proceed against any person (including, without limitation, Tenant), and, further, Guarantor, agrees not to assert any defense (other than payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations) available to Tenant against Landlord with regard to the Guaranteed Obligations, any defense based upon an election of remedies of any type, any defense based on any duty of Landlord to disclose information of any type to Guarantor regarding Tenant or the Guaranteed Obligations, and/or any claim that Guarantor may have against Landlord by virtue of Landlord’s failure to exercise any rights against Tenant, howsoever arising. Guarantor hereby expressly waives any right or claim to force Landlord to proceed first against Tenant as to any of the Guaranteed Obligations or other obligations of Tenant, and agrees that no delay, failure or refusal of or by Landlord to exercise any right, remedy or privilege which Landlord has or may have against Tenant, whether arising from any documents executed by Tenant, at common law, under or pursuant to any applicable statute, or otherwise, shall operate to impair, reduce, negate or otherwise affect the liability of Guarantor hereunder.

4. Intentionally Omitted.

5. Additional Liability of Guarantor. If Guarantor becomes liable for any indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord other than the Guaranteed Obligations by any means other than under this Guaranty, such liability shall not be impaired, reduced or affected in any manner hereby but shall have all and the same force and effect it would have had if this Guaranty had not existed, and no Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be impaired, reduced, negated or affected in any manner thereby.

6. No Impairment of Obligations. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall not be impaired, reduced, negated or in any way affected by: (a) Landlord’s failure, refusal or neglect to collect or enforce the Guaranteed Obligations, such as, by way of example and not limitation, any indulgence, forbearance, compromise, settlement or waiver of performance which may be extended to Tenant by Landlord or agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant; (b) any termination of the Lease to the extent that Tenant thereafter continues to be liable; (c) any sublease of the space covered by the Lease or any assignment of the Lease or any other transfer of an interest therein by any means or to any entity or person whatsoever regardless of whether Tenant thereafter continues to be liable; (d) the exercise, by Tenant, its successors or assigns, of any renewal option, expansion option, right of first refusal or other preferential right expressly provided for in the Lease; (e)

 

EXHIBIT H

-2-


receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy or other proceedings affecting Tenant or any of Tenant’s assets; (f) death, insanity or other impairment or disability of Tenant or any Guarantor; (g) the discharge of Tenant from the Lease or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord or from the performance of any obligation contained in the Lease or other instrument issued in connection with, evidencing or securing any indebtedness guaranteed by this instrument, whether occurring by reason of law or any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing; (h) the loss of or subordination of any other guaranty, if any; or (i) the existence of any indebtedness or obligations of Tenant owing to or otherwise performable toward Landlord other than the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Landlord upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Tenant or otherwise. Landlord may at any time, without the consent of or notice to Guarantor, without incurring responsibility to the undersigned, without impairing or releasing the obligations of the undersigned, and upon or without any terms or conditions and in whole or in part: (w) change the manner, place or terms of payment, or change the time of payment of, or otherwise alter, any liability of Tenant hereby guaranteed, or any liabilities incurred directly or indirectly hereunder, and the Guaranty herein made shall apply to the liabilities of Tenant as any of such liabilities may be changed or altered in any manner; (x) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against Tenant or others, or otherwise act or refrain from acting; (y) settle or compromise any liabilities hereby guaranteed or hereby incurred, and subordinate the payment of all or any part of such liabilities to the payment of any liabilities which may be due to Landlord or others; and (z) apply any sums paid to any liability or liabilities of Tenant to Landlord in such manner as Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, may elect, regardless of what liability or liabilities of Tenant to Landlord remain unpaid.

7. Release of Parties Liable, Renewals, Etc. Guarantor hereby agrees that Landlord may at any time, and from time to time, at Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion and with or without notice or consideration to or consent from any party: (a) release any security now or hereafter held by Landlord for the Guaranteed Obligations and/or release any party now or hereafter liable, in whole or in part, on the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation, Tenant or any other guarantor; (b) take any security or any other guaranty for the Guaranteed Obligations in addition to any security or guaranty presently existing; and (c) modify, amend, rearrange, renew and/or extend, to any extent which Landlord deems necessary or desirable, any of the terms and provisions of the Lease (whether or not pertaining to or otherwise affecting the Guaranteed Obligations). Any one or more or all of such actions may be taken without impairing, reducing, negating or otherwise affecting in any manner the obligations of Guarantor, or any of them, hereunder.

8. Waiver of Rights. Guarantor hereby WAIVES: (a) notice of acceptance hereof (which acceptance is conclusively presumed by the execution and delivery of this Guaranty to Landlord); (b) grace, demand, presentment and protest with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or under or with respect to any instrument, agreement or document evidencing or creating same; (c) notice of grace, demand, presentment and protest; (d) notice of non-payment or other defaults, of intention to accelerate and of acceleration of the Guaranteed Obligations, as and to the extent applicable; (e) notice of and/or any right to consent or object to the assignment or other transfer of any interest in the Lease or the Guaranteed Obligations; (f) notice of the modification, amendment,

rearrangement, renewal and/or extension of any of the terms and provisions of the Lease; (g) notice of the filing of suit and/or diligence by Landlord in collection or enforcement of the Guaranteed Obligations; (h) any other notice regarding the Lease or the Guaranteed Obligations; and (i) any and all rights and remedies to which Guarantor, or any of them, may be or become entitled under or pursuant to any one or more of (i) Chapter 43 of the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code, (ii) Sections 17.001 and 34.005 of the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code and/or (iii) Rule 31 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, as well as any and all other defenses available to sureties or Guarantor at law or in equity.

9. Representations and Warranties of Guarantor. Guarantor does hereby represent and warrant to Landlord that:

(a) Guarantor has received, or will receive, direct or indirect benefit from the Lease and making of this Guaranty;

(b) Guarantor is familiar with, and has independently reviewed the books and records regarding, the financial condition of Tenant, but Guarantor is not relying on such financial condition as an inducement to enter into this Guaranty;

(c) neither Landlord nor any other party has made any representation, warranty or statement to Guarantor in order to induce any Guarantor to execute this Guaranty;

(d) as of the date hereof, and after giving effect to this Guaranty and the obligations evidenced hereby, Guarantor is solvent, and has property and assets which, fairly valued, exceed such Guarantor’s obligations, liabilities and debts, and such Guarantor has property and assets in the State of Texas sufficient to satisfy and repay its, his or her obligations, liabilities and debts;

(e) this Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered by Guarantor and the person(s) or party(ies) executing this Guaranty on behalf of Guarantor has done so with all requisite due authority, with the effect that this Guaranty thus represents the valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with its terms;

(f) if any party executing this Guaranty is a corporation, the board of directors of such corporation, in a duly held meeting or pursuant to a unanimous written consent in lieu of such a meeting (if permitted by law and the governing documents of such corporation), has determined that this Guaranty may reasonably be expected to benefit the corporation;

(g) neither this Guaranty nor the agreements contained herein contravene or constitute a default or create or impose any lien, charge or encumbrance under any agreement, instrument, indenture or similar instrument to which any Guarantor is a party or by which such Guarantor’s assets are bound or any other requirement of law; and

(h) there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or threatened against Guarantor in any court or before any federal, state, municipal or other governmental department or commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality which, if adversely determined, will affect any of the transactions contemplated by this Guaranty or prevent or otherwise hinder any Guarantor from the performance of its obligations hereunder.

 

EXHIBIT H

-4-


10. Subordination and Waiver of Subrogation. Guarantor does hereby fully subordinate the payment of all indebtedness owing to any Guarantor by Tenant (including principal and interest) to the prior payment of all indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord and Guarantor agrees (a) during the existence of any uncured Default (as defined in the Lease) by Tenant, not to accept any payment on such indebtedness until payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations has occurred and (b) not to attempt to set off or reduce any obligations hereunder because of such indebtedness. Until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid or performed in full, during the existence of any uncured Default by Tenant, Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation or any other right to enforce any remedy which Landlord now has or may hereafter have against Tenant. When the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid and performed in full, Guarantor’ subrogation rights shall be restored in full.

11. Payments. Landlord may apply any payment received from any source against that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations in such priority and fashion as Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, may deem appropriate.

12. No Right of Possession Upon Payment. The payment by Guarantor of any amount pursuant to this Guaranty shall not, without Landlord’s consent, entitle Guarantor (whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) to a right of possession of, or to any other right, title or interest in, the Premises covered by the Lease.

13. Cumulative Rights. All rights of Landlord hereunder or otherwise arising under any documents executed in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations are separate and cumulative and may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently, or, as Landlord may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, not pursued, without affecting or limiting any other right of Landlord and without impairing, reducing, negating or in any manner affecting the liability of Guarantor.

14. Place of Performance; Attorneys’ Fees. All payments to be made and obligations to be performed hereunder shall be payable or performable in the location for payment or performance (as applicable) set forth in the Lease. If it becomes necessary for Landlord to enforce this Guaranty by legal action, Guarantor hereby waives the right to be sued in the county or state of such Guarantor’s residence and agrees to submit to the jurisdiction and venue of the appropriate federal, state or other governmental court in Travis County, Texas. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Guarantor unconditionally agrees to pay Landlord’s collection expenses, including, without limitation, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and associated legal expenses, if enforcement hereof is placed in the hands of an attorney, including, but expressly not limited to, enforcement by suit or through probate, bankruptcy or any judicial proceedings (including appellate proceedings).

15. Applicable Laws. This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed under and in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas and the laws of the United States of America applicable to transactions in Texas, and is intended to be performed in accordance with and as permitted by such laws.

 

EXHIBIT H

-5-


16. Usury. Notwithstanding any other provision herein contained to the contrary, no provision of this Guaranty shall require or permit, or be deemed to require or permit, the reserving, charging or collection from Guarantor of interest in excess of the maximum rate or amount that Guarantor may be required or permitted to pay to Landlord pursuant to applicable law and as to which Guarantor could successfully assert the claim or defense of usury. To be clear, it is the express intention of Landlord and Guarantor to comply strictly with all applicable usury laws; accordingly, all agreements between or among Landlord and Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no event or contingency, whether by reason of demand, acceleration or otherwise, shall any interest contracted for, charged, received, paid or agreed to be paid to Landlord by or on behalf of Guarantor exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to Landlord in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to Landlord shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable law; and, if from any circumstance Landlord shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the underlying principal amount of the obligation and not to the payment of interest, or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of the underlying principal of the obligation, such excess shall be refunded to Guarantor. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to Guarantor shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the underlying principal obligation so that the interest on any indebtedness for which Guarantor is liable for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. This provision controls over any other provision of this Guaranty which could be construed otherwise.

17. Binding Effect. This Guaranty is binding upon and enforceable against Guarantor and the respective heirs, legal representatives, personal representatives, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of Guarantor.

18. Landlord’s Assigns. This Guaranty is intended for, and shall inure to the benefit of, Landlord and each and every person who shall from time to time be or become the owner or holder of all or any part of the Lease and/or the Guaranteed Obligations, and each and every reference herein to “Landlord” shall include and refer to each and every successor or assignee of Landlord at any time holding or owning any part of or interest in any part of the Lease and/or the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty shall be assignable or transferable by Landlord with the same force and effect, and to the same extent, that the Lease and/or the Guaranteed Obligations are assignable or transferable, it being understood and stipulated that, upon and following assignment or transfer by Landlord of the Lease and/or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the legal holder or owner thereof (or a part thereof or interest therein thus assigned or transferred) shall (except as otherwise stipulated by Landlord in its assignment or other transfer instrument) have and may exercise all of the rights granted to Landlord under this Guaranty to the extent of that part of or interest in the Guaranteed Obligations thereby assigned or transferred.

 

EXHIBIT H

-6-


19. Notices. Any notice or demand to Guarantor in connection herewith must be addressed to Guarantor at the address appearing beneath Guarantor’s signature block set forth below. Guarantor shall have the right to designate from time to time another address within the continental United States for purposes of this instrument upon fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to Landlord given in accordance with this Section 17.2 of the Lease. Any notice or demand to Guarantor must be: (A) mailed by first class, United States Mail, postage prepaid, certified, with return receipt requested or (B) delivered by local courier or national overnight delivery service (e.g., Federal Express). Notices and demands shall be deemed given upon actual receipt (unless receipt occurs on a weekend or holiday, in which case notice will be deemed given on the next-succeeding business day) or refusal of receipt during normal business hours. The provisions of this Section 19 shall not be construed to impair, negate or otherwise affect any waiver of notice or demand herein provided or to require giving of notice or demand to or upon any Guarantor in any situation or for any reason.

20. Entire Agreement. This Guaranty constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and all prior correspondence, memoranda, agreements or understandings (written or oral) with respect to the subject matter hereof are merged into and superseded by this Guaranty. This Guaranty may not be changed, modified, discharged or terminated as to any Guarantor in any manner other than by an agreement in writing signed by Guarantor and Landlord.

21. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Guaranty shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the other provisions contained herein shall not in any way be impaired, negated or otherwise affected thereby. Moreover, should any provision contained in this Guaranty be determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in contravention of law, there shall be substituted in lieu of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a provision which, as closely as possible, conforms to the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision and which is valid, legal and enforceable.

22. Further Instruments. Guarantor hereby agrees without delay to execute all such further instruments as are reasonably requested by Landlord to further evidence or protect the rights of Landlord under this Guaranty.

23. Construction. Descriptive headings used in this Guaranty are for convenience only, and are not intended to control or affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Guaranty. Where required for proper interpretation, words used herein in the singular tense shall include the plural, and vice versa; the masculine gender shall include the neuter and the feminine, and vice versa. As used in this Guaranty, the words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereunder” and words of similar import shall mean and refer to this entire Guaranty, and not to any particular section or paragraph, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. This Guaranty shall be construed without presumption of any rule requiring construction to be made against the party causing same to be drafted.

24. Counterparts. This Guaranty may be executed and delivered by Guarantor in multiple counterparts, each of which will for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all of which are identical.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Defined terms included below shall have the same meaning as terms defined and included elsewhere in this Form 8-K and, if not defined in the Form 8-K, the final prospectus and definitive proxy statement, dated July 9, 2021 (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”).

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses” and is for informational purposes only. The combined financial information presents the pro forma effects of the following transactions, collectively referred to as the “Transactions” for purposes of this section, and other related events as described in Note 1 to the accompanying Notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information:

 

   

The reverse recapitalization of Hippo Enterprises Inc. (“Hippo”), referred to herein as the “Business Combination,” and the issuance of Hippo Holdings common stock in the PIPE Investment;

 

   

The acquisition of Spinnaker Insurance Company (“Spinnaker”) by Hippo on August 31, 2020 (“Spinnaker Transaction”)

On August 2, 2021, as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, following the Domestication (including the change of RTPZ’s name to “Hippo Holdings Inc.”), (i) Merger Sub merged with and into Hippo, with Hippo surviving the First Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Hippo Holdings, and (ii) immediately following the First Merger, Hippo (as the surviving corporation of the First Merger) merged with and into Hippo Holdings, the separate corporate existence of Hippo ceased, and Hippo Holdings continued as the surviving corporation.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet of Hippo Holdings as of March 31, 2021 combines the historical balance sheet of Hippo as of March 31, 2021 and the historical consolidated balance sheet of RTPZ as of March 31, 2021, adjusted to give pro forma effect to the Business Combination, the PIPE Investment and certain other related events related to the Business Combination between Hippo and RTPZ, in each case, as if the Business Combination, PIPE Investment and other events had been consummated on March 31, 2021. The Spinnaker Transaction was consummated on August 31, 2020 and, accordingly, is reflected within the consolidated balance sheet of Hippo as of March 31, 2021.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations of Hippo Holdings for the three months ended March 31, 2021 combines the historical consolidated statement of operations of Hippo for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and the historical consolidated statement of operations of RTPZ for the three months ended March 31, 2021, on a pro forma basis as if the Business Combination, the PIPE Investment and other related events contemplated by the Merger Agreement, as described below and in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, had been consummated on January 1, 2020.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 combine the historical statement of operations of Hippo for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, the historical statement of operations of RTPZ for the period from October 2, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, and the historical statement of operations of Spinnaker for the eight-month period ended August 31, 2020, adjusted to give pro forma effect to the Spinnaker Transaction, the Business Combination, the PIPE Investment and certain other related events, as discussed below, related to the Business Combination between RTPZ and Hippo and, in each case, as if such Transactions and other related events had been consummated on January 1, 2020.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet does not purport to represent, and is not necessarily indicative of, what the actual financial condition of the combined company would have been had the Transactions taken place on March 31, 2021, nor is it indicative of the financial condition of Hippo Holdings as of any future date. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Business Combination and the PIPE Transaction taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of Hippo Holdings. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is subject to several uncertainties and assumptions as described in the accompanying notes.


The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the following historical financial statements and the accompanying notes, which are included elsewhere in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus:

 

   

the accompanying Notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements;

the historical unaudited financial information of Spinnaker, as of, and for the period ended, June 30, 2020, included in the proxy statement/prospectus incorporated herein by reference; and

Note 1 — Description of the Merger

Merger between RTPZ and Hippo — Business Combination

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, following the Domestication (including the change of RTPZ’s name to “Hippo Holdings Inc.”), (i) Merger Sub merged with and into Hippo, with Hippo surviving the First Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Hippo Holdings, and (ii) immediately following the First Merger, Hippo (as the surviving corporation of the First Merger) merged with and into Hippo Holdings, the separate corporate existence of Hippo ceased, and Hippo Holdings continued as the surviving corporation.

The aggregate consideration paid to Hippo stockholders in connection with the Business Combination, was 552,200,000 shares. The Exchange Ratio was equal to approximately 6.95433.

The Business Combination occurred based on the following transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement:

 

   

the issued and outstanding shares of Hippo preferred stock was canceled and converted into shares of Hippo common stock at the then-effective conversion rate as calculated pursuant to Hippo’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation;

 

   

the Hippo warrants were exercised in full on a cash or cashless basis or terminated without exercise, as applicable, in accordance with their respective terms;

 

   

the Hippo notes were automatically converted into shares of Hippo common stock in accordance with their respective terms;

 

   

the issued and outstanding shares of Hippo common stock (including the Hippo common stock referred to in the above points) as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, was canceled in exchange for the right to receive a number of shares of Hippo Holdings common stock equal to the Exchange Ratio; and

 

   

the outstanding vested and unvested Hippo options as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, was converted into Hippo Holdings options with the same terms except for the number of shares exercisable and the exercise price, each of which was adjusted using the Exchange Ratio.

Other related events that took place in connection with the Business Combination are summarized below:

 

   

Pursuant to the terms of the Sponsor Agreement, the Sponsor subjected the 5,630,000 Sponsor Shares to the following (a) price-based vesting terms over a ten-year period following the Closing and (b) lock-ups.

Each of the four tranches applies to 25% of the total Sponsor Shares (i.e., each tranche applies to 1,407,500 Sponsor Shares):

 

   

Tranche 1

 

   

Price-Based Vesting Trigger: None; vested at Closing.

 

   

Lockup: 6 months following Closing.

 

   

Tranche 2

 

   

Price-Based Vesting Trigger: share price above $12.50 based on a standard trailing 20 trading day VWAP (“Trailing VWAP”).

 

   

Lockup: 12 months following Closing.

 

   

Tranche 3

 

   

Price-Based Vesting Trigger: share price above $15.00 based on the Trailing VWAP.

 

   

Lockup: 18 months following Closing.


   

Tranche 4

 

   

Price-Based Vesting Trigger: share price above $20.00 based on the Trailing VWAP.

 

   

Lockup: 24 months following Closing.

 

   

After ten years, any Sponsor Shares that have not yet met the applicable price-based vesting trigger shall automatically vest.

 

   

If, after Closing, Hippo Holdings completes a transaction that results in a change of control, the Sponsor Shares are released from the vesting and lock-up restrictions immediately prior to such change of control. As RTPZ legally owns the shares and is subject only to transfer restrictions that lapse upon the earlier of (1) meeting one or more specific conditions described above or (2) a stated date, such Sponsor Shares are considered to be outstanding shares of stock.

 

   

Pursuant to the terms of the Sponsor Agreement, the Sponsor agreed, in addition to the existing exercise provisions in the Warrant Agreement, to the mandatory exercise of the private placement warrants if, during the exercise period, (a) Hippo Holdings elects to redeem the public warrants, (b) the last reported sales price of Hippo Holdings common stock for any 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days exceeds $25.00 per share, and (c) there is an effective registration statement covering the issuance of shares of Hippo Holdings common stock issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants, and a current prospectus relating thereto, available at the time of such exercise.

 

   

Following the Closing, Hippo Holdings used $95,000,000 to acquire 9,500,000 shares of Hippo Holdings common stock from certain stockholders of Hippo prior to the Business Combination.

Spinnaker Transaction

On August 31, 2020, Hippo acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Spinnaker, a privately held entity that is an Illinois domiciled property and casualty insurance carrier, in exchange for cash consideration. The total consideration of $90.5 million, which is subject to customary closing adjustments, was paid in cash and transferred as part of the closing of the transaction for all of the outstanding equity interests of Spinnaker.

Note 2 — Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Release No. 33-10786 replaces the existing pro forma adjustment criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). RTPZ has not elected to present Management’s Adjustments and will only be presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The adjustments presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an understanding of the combined company upon consummation of the Business Combination.

Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments based on information available as of the date of filing this Form 8-K and is subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented as additional information becomes available. Management considers this basis of presentation to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings, or cost savings that may be associated with the Transactions. RTPZ has not had any historical relationship with Hippo prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, no Transaction Accounting Adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies. However, as Hippo had a prior relationship with Spinnaker prior to the Spinnaker Transactions, Transaction Accounting Adjustments have been made to eliminate such activities in the unaudited condensed combined statement of operations.


Total one-time direct and incremental transaction costs (i.e. “Transaction costs”) incurred prior to, or concurrent with, the Closing were allocated between common stock issued and other equity instruments currently classified as liabilities (i.e. private placement warrants and public warrants) on a relative fair value basis. Transaction costs allocable to common stock issued are reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as a direct reduction to Hippo’s additional paid-in capital and are assumed to be cash settled. Transaction costs allocable to issued warrants classified as liabilities are charged to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations and are assumed to be cash settled.

The following summarizes the pro forma shares of Hippo Holdings Inc. Common Stock issued and outstanding at the Closing:

Note 3 — Accounting Policies

Based on its initial analysis of Hippo and RTPZ’s policies, Hippo Holdings and RTPZ did not identified any differences in accounting policies that would have an impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. As a result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not assume any differences in accounting policies.

Note 4 — Accounting for the Transactions

The Business Combination between Hippo and RTPZ was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization of Hippo who has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on a number of considerations, including but not limited to: i) Hippo former management making up the majority of the Management Team of Hippo Holdings, ii) Hippo former management nominating or representing the majority of Hippo Holdings’ board of directors and iii) Hippo representing the majority of the continuing operations of Hippo Holdings. Management has also preliminarily determined Hippo to be the predecessor entity to the Merger Agreement based on the same considerations listed above.

The Business Combination between Hippo and RTPZ was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, RTPZ was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the reverse recapitalization was treated as the equivalent of Hippo issuing stock for the net assets of RTPZ, accompanied by a recapitalization. Operations prior to the reverse recapitalization was those of Hippo.


The acquisition of Spinnaker has been treated as a business combination and has been accounted for using the acquisition method. Hippo has recorded the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired from Spinnaker.

Note 5 — Shares of RTPZ Common Stock Issued to Hippo Stockholders upon Closing

Based on the Exchange Ratio of 6.95433, RTPZ issued 495.2 million shares of RTPZ common stock in the Business Combination using a reference price of $10.00 per share, net of the Redemption of Hippo Holdings common stock, and an additional 52.7 million Hippo Holdings options as follows:

Note 6 — Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2021 has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Transactions and has been prepared for informational purposes only.

The pro forma transaction accounting adjustments, based on preliminary estimates that could change materially as additional information is obtained, are as follows:

 

  (a)

  (b)

Reflects the settlement of RTPZ’s historical liabilities that were settled upon the Closing.


  (c)

Reflects the automatic conversion of Hippo notes into shares of Hippo common stock as per the original terms of the Hippo notes, and subsequent conversion into Hippo Holdings common stock. Upon the conversion, the carrying value of the debt of $285.4 million, including unamortized debt discount, accrued interest of $3.2 million recorded in accrued liability, and the related derivative liability of $155.4 million were derecognized. The Hippo Holdings shares issued in exchange for the Hippo notes were recorded at fair value to Hippo Holdings common stock in amount of $0 and additional paid in capital in amount of $444.0 million.

 

  (d)

  (f)

Reflects recording of Hippo’s transaction costs of $25.2 million. These expected transaction costs are in connection with the Closing and related transactions and are deemed to be direct and incremental costs of the Business Combination, $24.4 million of which have been allocable to common stock issued and recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital and the remaining $0.8 million allocable to issued warrants classified as liabilities have been charged to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations. Necessary adjustments have been made to other assets for deferred offering cost of $4.9 million, accrued liabilities for $3.9 million for unpaid Hippo transaction costs, and cash and cash equivalents for $24.2 million for Hippo’s transaction costs. In addition, an adjustment of $7.8 million has been made to accumulated deficit with an offset to cash and cash equivalents and prepaid expenses to reflect RTPZ’s transaction costs in the nature of advisory, legal, accounting and auditing fees and other professional fees pertaining to the Business Combination and related transactions.

 

  (g)

The pre-existing relationship pertains to Hippo serving as MGA and MGU of Spinnaker. Prior to the acquisition, Hippo earned commission income and incurred commission expenses to other agencies, which was included in sales and marketing expenses on the consolidated Hippo financial statements.

Note 8 — Net Loss per Share

Represents the net loss per share calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Business Combination, the PIPE Investment, and other related events, assuming such additional shares were outstanding since January 1, 2020. As the Business Combination and PIPE Investment are being reflected as if they had occurred as of January 1, 2020, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes the shares issued in connection with the Business Combination and PIPE Investment have been outstanding for the entire periods presented. This calculation is retroactively adjusted to eliminate the number of shares redeemed in the Business Combination for the entire period presented.
