EX-10.1





 Exhibit 10.1 

EXECUTIVE AGREEMENT 
 This
Executive Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of the 3rd day of August 2019 (the “Effective Date”), between Guidewire Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Mike Rosenbaum (the
“Executive”). 
 In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 
 1. Employment. 

(a) Term. The Company desires to employ the Executive, and the Executive desires to be employed by the Company, pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement, until this Agreement is terminated by either party in accordance with the terms hereof. The Executive’s employment with the Company will be “at will,” meaning that the Executive’s employment may be terminated
by the Company or the Executive at any time and for any reason. 
 (b) Position. The Executive will serve as the Chief Executive
Officer of the Company and will have such powers and duties as may from time to time be prescribed by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”), provided that such duties are consistent with the Executive’s
position. Subject to approval by the Company’s Board of Directors, following the Effective Date, Executive will also be appointed to the Board of Directors as a director, subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s certificate of
incorporation, bylaws and any shareholder approval requirements. While the Executive renders services to the Company, the Executive will not engage in any other employment, consulting or business activity that would create a conflict of interest
with the Company. 
 2. Compensation and Related Matters. 

(a) Base Salary. The Executive’s initial annual base salary will be $750,000, subject to redetermination by the Board of Directors
or its Compensation Committee. The annual base salary in effect at any given time is referred to herein as “Base Salary.” The Base Salary will be payable in a manner that is consistent with the Company’s usual payroll practices for
senior executives. 
 (b) Incentive Compensation. The Executive will be eligible to be considered for annual cash incentive
compensation (“Annual Bonus”) as determined by the Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee from time to time (the “Bonus Plan”). The Executive’s initial Annual Bonus target will be 100% of Base Salary. To earn the
Annual Bonus, the Executive must be employed by the Company on the day such Annual Bonus is paid. The Bonus Plan may be revised at the discretion of the Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee at any time, and the Executive will be provided
written notice of any such revisions. 
 (c) Equity Grant. Subject to approval by the Company’s Board of Directors, the
Executive will be granted an award of Restricted Stock Units (the “RSUs”) with a value equivalent to $17,000,000 under the Company’s 2011 Stock Plan (the “2011 Plan”). 












 The grant of RSUs will be subject to the terms and conditions of the 2011 Plan and the
applicable RSU award agreement as executed by the Executive and the Company (the “RSU Award Agreement”), the terms and conditions of which shall be controlling. The precise number of RSUs granted will be outlined in the RSU Award Agreement
and will be calculated applying the Company’s grant conversion policy in effect on the grant date – currently the 90-day average closing share price of the Company’s stock for the quarter ended prior to the grant date, as determined
in the Company’s sole discretion according to its standard practice. 
 The grant of RSUs shall consist of time-based vesting RSUs with
a value equivalent to $7,500,000 (“Time-vesting RSUs”), Company financial-performance-based vesting RSUs with a value equivalent to $5,700,000 (“PSUs”), and total-shareholder-return-based vesting RSUs with a value equivalent to
$3,800,000 (“TSRs”). Each type of RSU will be subject to the terms of the RSU Award Agreement, and the related vesting terms outlined therein. The Time-vesting RSUs are anticipated to vest over time, with 25% vesting on September 15,
2020, and 6.25% of the Time-vesting RSUs vesting on each subsequent 15th of March, June, September, and December thereafter, until the Time-vesting RSUs are fully vested after 4 years. The PSUs are anticipated to vest based on the Company’s
financial performance for FY20 (applying the metrics agreed by the Compensation Committee for executive PSU grants), with 25% vesting on September 15, 2020, and 6.25% of the PSUs vesting on each subsequent 15th of March, June, September, and
December thereafter, until the PSUs are fully vested after 4 years. The TSRs are anticipated to vest at the end of the three-year performance period, based on the relative shareholder return in comparison to a peer group or index selected by the
Compensation Committee for executive TSR grants. 
 (d) Other Benefits. The Executive will be entitled to participate in the
Company’s employee benefit plans, subject to the terms and the conditions of such plans and to the Company’s ability to amend and modify such plans. The Executive will be entitled to paid vacation in accordance with the terms of the
Company’s vacation policy, as in effect from time to time. 
 3. Termination. The Executive’s employment may be terminated
under the following circumstances: 
 (a) Death. The Executive’s employment will terminate upon the Executive’s death. 

(b) Disability. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment if the Executive is disabled and unable to perform the
essential functions of the Executive’s then existing position or positions under this Agreement with or without reasonable accommodation for a period of 180 days (which need not be consecutive) in any 12-month period. Nothing in this
Section 3(b) will be construed to waive the Executive’s rights, if any, under existing law including, without limitation, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, 29 U.S.C. §2601 et seq. and the Americans with Disabilities
Act, 42 U.S.C. §12101 et seq. 
 (c) Termination by Company for Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s
employment for Cause as determined by the Board of Directors. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means: (i) the Executive’s unauthorized use or disclosure of the Company’s confidential information or trade secrets,
which use or disclosure causes material harm to the 












 
Company; (ii) the Executive’s material breach of any written agreement between the Executive and the Company; (iii) the Executive’s material failure to comply with the
Company’s written policies or rules after receiving written notification of the failure from the Board of Directors and eight days to cure such failure; (iv) the Executive’s conviction of, or plea of “guilty” or “no
contest” to, a felony under the laws of the United States or any State; (v) the Executive’s gross misconduct in the performance of his duties; (vi) the Executive’s continuing failure to perform assigned duties after
receiving written notification of the failure from the Board of Directors; or (vii) the Executive’s failure to cooperate in good faith with a governmental or internal investigation of the Company or its directors, officers or employees, if
the Company has requested the Executive’s cooperation therewith. Before a termination for Cause under subparts 3(c)(ii), (v), (vi), or (vii), if the conduct constituting Cause is reasonably curable, then the Board shall provide the Executive
with specific written notice of the category and nature of the conduct alleged to constitute Cause, and the Executive shall have a period not less than ten (10) business days following such notice (the “Cure Period”), to remedy the
conduct alleged to constitute Cause. If the Executive cures the Cause condition during the Cure Period, then Cause will be deemed not to have occurred. 

(d) Termination Without Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time without Cause. Any termination by
the Company of the Executive’s employment that does not constitute a termination for Cause under Section 3(c) and does not result from the death or disability of the Executive under Sections 3(a) or (b) will be deemed a termination
without Cause. 
 (e) Termination by the Executive. The Executive may terminate employment at any time for any reason, including but
not limited to Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means that the Executive has complied with the “Good Reason Process” (hereinafter defined) following the occurrence of any of the following events:
(i) a material diminution in the Executive’s responsibilities, authority or duties; (ii) a material diminution in the Executive’s Base Salary; (iii) a material change in the geographic location at which the Executive
provides services to the Company, which shall be deemed to be such a change that lengthens the Executive’s one-way commute distance by more than thirty (30) miles; or (iv) the material breach of this Agreement by the Company.
“Good Reason Process” means that (1) the Executive reasonably determines in good faith that a “Good Reason” condition has occurred; (2) the Executive notifies the Company in writing of the first occurrence of the Good
Reason condition within 60 days of the first occurrence of such condition; (3) the Executive cooperates in good faith with the Company’s efforts, within a Cure Period, to remedy the condition; (4) notwithstanding such efforts, the
Good Reason condition continues to exist; and (5) the Executive terminates employment within 60 days after the end of the Cure Period. If the Company cures the Good Reason condition during the Cure Period, Good Reason will be deemed not to have
occurred. 
 (f) Notice of Termination. Except for termination as specified in Section 3(a), any termination of the
Executive’s employment by the Company or any such termination by the Executive will be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” means a notice
that indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon. 












 (g) Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” means: (i) if the
Executive’s employment is terminated by death, the date of Executive’s death; (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated on account of disability under Section 3(b) or by the Company for Cause under Section 3(c),
the date on which Notice of Termination is given; (iii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company under Section 3(d), 30 days after the date on which a Notice of Termination is given; (iv) if the Executive’s
employment is terminated by the Executive under Section 3(e) without Good Reason, 30 days after the date on which a Notice of Termination is given, and (v) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Executive under
Section 3(e) with Good Reason, the date on which a Notice of Termination is given after the end of the Cure Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that either party gives a Notice of Termination, the Company may unilaterally
accelerate the Date of Termination. 
 4. Compensation Upon Termination. 

(a) Termination Generally. If the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason, the Company will pay or
provide to the Executive (or to Executive’s authorized representative or estate), on or before the time required by law but in no event more than 30 days after the Executive’s Date of Termination, any Base Salary earned through the Date of
Termination, unpaid expense reimbursements and unused vacation that accrued through the Date of Termination (collectively, the “Accrued Benefits”). Upon any termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason, the Executive will
tender to the Company the Executive’s resignation from all positions with the Company and its subsidiaries, including without limitation, any positions as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries. 

(b) Termination by the Company Without Cause. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause as provided
in Section 3(d), then the Company will pay the Executive the Accrued Benefits. In addition, subject to the Executive signing a general release of claims in favor of the Company and related persons and entities in a form and manner satisfactory
to the Company (the “Release”) and the expiration of the seven-day revocation period for the Release: 
 (i) the
Company will pay the Executive an amount equal to the sum of the Executive’s Base Salary and then-current target Annual Bonus (the “Severance Amount”). The Severance Amount will be paid out in a lump sum, in accordance with the
Company’s payroll practices, within 60 days after the Date of Termination; provided, however, that if the 60-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, the Severance Amount will begin to be paid in the second
calendar year. Solely for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), each installment payment (if any) is considered a separate payment; 

(ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause as provided in Section 3(d) prior to
the first anniversary of the Effective Date, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the applicable restricted stock unit agreement, 50% of the outstanding Time-vesting RSUs, as defined in Section 2(c) and held by the Executive, will be
fully accelerated and vested as of the Date of Termination; 












 (iii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company
without Cause as provided in Section 3(d) at any point between the first and second anniversary of the Effective Date, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the applicable restricted stock unit agreement, 25% of the outstanding
Time-vesting RSUs, as defined in Section 2(c) and held by the Executive, will be fully accelerated and vested as of the Date of Termination; and 

(iv) if the Executive was participating in the Company’s group health plan immediately prior to the Date of Termination,
then the Company will, in its sole discretion, either (x) continue to provide health coverage to the Executive or (y) pay to the Executive a lump sum cash payment (at the same time as the Severance Amount) equal to the amount of employer
contributions that the Company would have made to provide health insurance to the Executive if the Executive had remained employed by the Company, in either case ((x) or (y)), for a period of 12 months. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
the Company elects to continue to provide health coverage to the Executive (in lieu of a cash payment), then the Company may discontinue such coverage in the event that the Executive obtains comparable health coverage prior to the end of the period
specified above. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, the acceleration provided in Sections 4(b)(ii) and 4(b)(iii) shall apply solely with respect to the
Time-vesting RSUs granted in connection with Executive’s initial hiring as defined in Section 2(c) above and not to any other or subsequent equity grants (if any). 

5. Change in Control. The provisions of this Section 5 set forth certain terms of an agreement reached between the Executive and
the Company regarding the Executive’s rights and obligations upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company. These provisions are intended to assure and encourage in advance the Executive’s continued attention and dedication to
Executive’s assigned duties and Executive’s objectivity during the pendency and after the occurrence of any such event. 
 (a)
Change in Control Severance Benefits. These provisions will apply in lieu of, and expressly supersede, the provisions of Section 4(b) regarding severance pay and benefits upon a termination of employment, if such termination of
employment occurs within 2 months before or 12 months after a Change in Control. These provisions will terminate and be of no further force or effect beginning 12 months after the occurrence of a Change in Control. If within 2 months before or
within 12 months after a Change in Control, the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause as provided in Section 3(d) or the Executive terminates employment for Good Reason as provided in Section 3(e), then,
subject to the signing of the Release by the Executive and the expiration of the seven-day revocation period for the Release, 

(i) the Company will pay the Executive an amount equal to 150% of the sum of Executive’s then-current Base Salary and
then-current target Annual Bonus (the “CIC Payment”). The CIC Payment will be paid in a single lump sum within 60 days after the Date of Termination; provided, however, that if the 60-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in a
second calendar year, the CIC Payment will be paid in the second calendar year; and 












 (ii) if the Executive was participating in the Company’s group health
plan immediately prior to the Date of Termination, then the Company will, in its sole discretion, either (x) continue to provide health coverage to the Executive or (y) pay to the Executive a lump sum cash payment (at the same time as the
Severance Amount) equal to the amount of monthly employer contributions that the Company would have made to provide health insurance to the Executive if the Executive had remained employed by the Company, in either case ((x) or (y)), for a period of
18 months. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company elects to continue to provide health coverage to the Executive (in lieu of a cash payment), then the Company may discontinue such coverage in the event that the Executive obtains
comparable health coverage prior to the end of the period specified above; and 
 (iii) notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in any applicable option agreement, restricted stock unit agreement, or other stock-based award agreement, 100% of the then outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, and other stock-based awards held by the Executive will be fully
accelerated and vested as of the Date of Termination. 
 (b) Additional Limitation. 

(i) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the amount of any compensation, acceleration,
payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, calculated in a manner consistent with Section 280G of
the Code and the applicable regulations thereunder (the “Severance Payments”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, the following provisions will apply: 

(A) If the Severance Payments, reduced by the sum of (1) the Excise Tax and (2) the total of the Federal, state, and
local income and employment taxes payable by the Executive on the amount of the Severance Payments which are in excess of the Threshold Amount, are greater than or equal to the Threshold Amount, the Executive will be entitled to the full benefits
payable under this Agreement. 
 (B) If the Threshold Amount is less than (x) the Severance Payments, but greater than
(y) the Severance Payments reduced by the sum of (1) the Excise Tax and (2) the total of the Federal, state, and local income and employment taxes on the amount of the Severance Payments which are in excess of the Threshold Amount,
then the Severance Payments will be reduced (but not below zero) to the extent necessary so that the sum of all Severance Payments will not exceed the Threshold Amount. In such event, the Severance Payments will be reduced in the following order:
(1) cash payments not subject to Section 409A of the Code; (2) cash payments subject to Section 409A of the Code; (3) equity-based payments and acceleration; and (4) non-cash forms of benefits. To the extent any payment
is to be made over time (e.g., in installments, etc.), then the payments will be reduced in reverse chronological order. 












 (ii) For the purposes of this Section 5(b), “Threshold
Amount” means three times the Executive’s “base amount” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder less one dollar ($1.00); and “Excise Tax” means the excise tax
imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, and any interest or penalties incurred by the Executive with respect to such excise tax. 

(iii) The determination as to which of the alternative provisions of Section 5(b)(i) will apply to the Executive will be
made by an accounting firm selected by the Company (the “Accounting Firm”), which will provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive within 15 business days of the Date of Termination, if applicable, or at
such earlier time as is reasonably requested by the Company or the Executive. For purposes of determining which of the alternative provisions of Section 5(b)(i) will apply, the Executive will be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest
marginal rate of federal income taxation applicable to individuals for the calendar year in which the determination is to be made, and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rates of individual taxation in the state and locality of the
Executive’s residence on the Date of Termination, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes. Any determination by the Accounting Firm will be binding upon the
Company and the Executive. 
 (iv) Change in Control Definition. For purposes of this Section 5, “Change in
Control” means any of the following: 
 (v) the date any “person,” as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and
14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”) (other than the Company, any of its subsidiaries, or any trustee, fiduciary or other person or entity holding securities under any employee benefit plan or trust of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries), together with all “affiliates” and “associates” (as such terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Act) of such person, becomes the “beneficial owner” (as such term is defined in
Rule 13d-3 under the Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50 percent or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities having the right to vote in an election of the Board of
Directors (“Voting Securities”) (in such case other than as a result of an acquisition of securities directly from the Company); or 

(vi) the date a majority of the members of the Board of Directors is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose
appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors before the date of the appointment or election; or 

(vii) the date of consummation of (A) any consolidation or merger of the Company where the stockholders of the Company,
immediately prior to the consolidation or merger, would not, immediately after the consolidation or merger, beneficially own (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act), directly or indirectly, shares representing in the aggregate more
than 50 percent of the voting shares of the Company issuing cash or securities in the consolidation or merger (or of its ultimate parent corporation, if any), or (B) any sale or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of transactions
contemplated or arranged by any party as a single plan) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. 












 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a “Change in Control” will not be
deemed to have occurred for purposes of the foregoing clause (i) solely as the result of an acquisition of securities by the Company which, by reducing the number of shares of Voting Securities outstanding, increases the proportionate number of
Voting Securities beneficially owned by any person to 50 percent or more of the combined voting power of all of the then outstanding Voting Securities; provided, however, that if any person referred to in this sentence will thereafter become the
beneficial owner of any additional shares of Voting Securities (other than pursuant to a stock split, stock dividend, or similar transaction or as a result of an acquisition of securities directly from the Company) and immediately thereafter
beneficially owns 50 percent or more of the combined voting power of all of the then outstanding Voting Securities, then a “Change in Control” will be deemed to have occurred for purposes of the foregoing clause (i). 

6. Section 409A. 

(a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at the time of the Executive’s separation from service within the
meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Company determines that the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any payment or benefit that the Executive
becomes entitled to under this Agreement on account of the Executive’s separation from service would be considered deferred compensation subject to the 20 percent additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result
of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such payment will not be payable and such benefit will not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (A) six months and one day after the Executive’s separation from
service, or (B) the Executive’s death. If any such delayed cash payment is otherwise payable on an installment basis, the first payment will include a catch-up payment covering amounts that would otherwise have been paid during the
six-month period but for the application of this provision, and the balance of the installments will be payable in accordance with their original schedule. 

(b) All in-kind benefits provided and expenses eligible for reimbursement under this Agreement will be provided by the Company or incurred by
the Executive during the time periods set forth in this Agreement. All reimbursements will be paid as soon as administratively practicable, but in no event will any reimbursement be paid after the last day of the taxable year following the taxable
year in which the expense was incurred. The amount of in-kind benefits provided or reimbursable expenses incurred in one taxable year will not affect the in-kind benefits to be provided or the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable
year. Such right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 
 (c) To the extent
that any payment or benefit described in this Agreement constitutes “non-qualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent that such payment or benefit is payable upon the Executive’s termination
of employment, then such payments or benefits will be payable only upon the Executive’s “separation from service.” The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred will be made in accordance with the
presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h). 












 (d) The parties intend that this Agreement will be administered in accordance with
Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision will be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with
Section 409A of the Code. The parties agree that this Agreement may be amended, as reasonably requested by either party, and as may be necessary to fully comply with Section 409A of the Code and all related rules and regulations in order
to preserve the payments and benefits provided hereunder without additional cost to either party. 
 (e) The Company makes no representation
or warranty and will have no liability to the Executive or any other person if any provisions of this Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the
conditions of, such Section. 
 7. Consent to Jurisdiction. The parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal and State
courts located in San Mateo County, California with respect to all matters arising under this Agreement. Accordingly, with respect to any such court action, the Executive (a) submits to the personal jurisdiction of such courts;
(b) consents to service of process; and (c) waives any other requirement (whether imposed by statute, rule of court, or otherwise) with respect to personal jurisdiction or service of process. 

8. Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all prior agreements between the parties concerning such subject matter; provided that the Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement between the Company and the Executive dated as of the Effective Date, the Indemnification
Agreement between the Company and the Executive dated as of the Effective Date, and the RSU Award Agreement will not be superseded by this Agreement but will remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. 

9. Enforceability. If any portion or provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any portion or provision of any
section of this Agreement) will to any extent be declared illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such portion or provision in circumstances other than those as to
which it is so declared illegal or unenforceable, will not be affected thereby, and each portion and provision of this Agreement will be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 

10. Survival. The provisions of this Agreement will survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the termination of the
Executive’s employment to the extent necessary to effectuate the terms contained herein. 
 11. Waiver. No waiver of any
provision hereof will be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving party. The failure of any party to require the performance of any term or obligation of this Agreement, or the waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement,
will not prevent any subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach. 
 12.
Notices. Any notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this Agreement will be sufficient if in writing and delivered in person or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service or by registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Executive at the last address the Executive has filed in writing with the Company or, in the case of the Company, at its main offices, attention of the Board of Directors. 












 13. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument
signed by the Executive and by a duly authorized representative of the Company. 
 14. Governing Law. This is a California contract
and will be construed under and be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles of such State. 

15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered will be
taken to be an original; but such counterparts will together constitute one and the same document. 
 16. Successor to Company. The
Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement to the same
extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no succession had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain an assumption of this Agreement at or prior to the effectiveness of any succession will be a material breach of this
Agreement. 
 17. Gender Neutral. Wherever used herein, a pronoun in the masculine gender will be considered as including the
feminine gender unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the
date and year first above written.
