 to D&O insurance and (iii) have terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than the coverage provided under Anywhere’s existing policies with respect to any actual or alleged error, misstatement, misleading statement, act, omission, neglect, breach of duty or any matter claimed against an indemnified person by reason of such indemnified person having served in such capacity that existed or occurred at or prior to the effective time (including in connection with the merger agreement or the transactions contemplated thereunder). Anywhere will give Compass a reasonable opportunity to participate in the selection of such tail policy and Anywhere will give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by Compass with respect thereto; provided, that in no event will Anywhere or Compass pay, annual premiums for such insurance in excess of 300% of the most recent annual premiums paid by Anywhere prior to the date of the merger agreement for such purpose (the “maximum amount”), it being understood that if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, Compass will nevertheless be obligated to provide such coverage as may be obtained for the maximum amount.

If Compass or the surviving corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and neither Compass or the surviving company, as applicable, will be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger; or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person or consummate any division transaction, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, Compass has agreed to make proper provision so that the successors and assigns of Compass or the surviving corporation, as the case may be, will assume the indemnification, insurance coverage and expense advancement obligations set forth in the merger agreement.

#### Employee Benefits Matters
For the period commencing at the effective time of the merger and ending on the first anniversary of the closing date (the “continuation period”), each individual who is employed as of the closing date by Anywhere or its subsidiaries and who remains employed by Compass or its subsidiaries (including the surviving corporation) (which we refer to as a “continuing employee”) will be provided with the following by Compass for so long as such continuing employee remains employed by either Compass or its subsidiaries during the continuation period:

• base compensation (base salary or wages, as applicable) that is not less than the level in effect for such continuing employee immediately prior to the effective time of the merger;

• post-termination severance
