SELECTQUOTE, INC. 
 2020
EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN 
 The following constitute the provisions of the 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan of SelectQuote, Inc.

 Section 1 Purpose. 

The purpose of the Plan is to provide employees of the Company and its Designated Companies with an opportunity to purchase Common Stock of the
Company through accumulated payroll deductions. It is the intention of the Company to have the Plan qualify as an “Employee Stock Purchase Plan” under Section 423 of the Code, although the Company makes no undertaking or
representation to maintain such qualification. In addition, this Plan document authorizes the grant of options under a non-423(b) Plan (“Non-423(b)
Component”) which do not qualify under Section 423(b) of the Code. The provisions of the Plan, accordingly, shall be construed so as to extend and limit participation in a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis consistent with the
requirements of Section 423 of the Code unless the offering is made under the Non-423(b) Component of the Plan.

the Company (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”) or (B) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding
Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (i), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change in Control: (1) any acquisition directly from the Company; (2) any
acquisition by the Company; (3) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any entity controlled by the Company; or (4) any acquisition by any entity pursuant to a transaction
that complies with clauses (A), (B) and (C) of subsection (iii) of this Section 2(d); or 
 (ii) A change in
the composition of the Board such that the individuals who, as of the Effective Date (as defined below), constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board;
provided, however, that any individual who becomes a member of the Board subsequent to the Effective Date 












 
whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of those individuals who are members of the Board and who were also
members of the Incumbent Board (or deemed to be such pursuant to this proviso) shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board; provided further, that any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs
as a result of either an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board shall not be
considered as a member of the Incumbent Board; or 
 (iii) The consummation of a reorganization, merger, statutory share
exchange or consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the acquisition of assets or securities of another entity by

respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of
common stock (or, for a noncorporate entity, equivalent securities) and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (or, for a noncorporate entity, equivalent
securities), as the case may be, of the entity resulting from such Business Combination (including an entity that, as a result of such transaction, owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through
one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be; (B) no
Person (excluding any entity resulting from such Business Combination or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such entity resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 30% or more of,

among participants who are participating in separate “offerings” under Section 423 or the Non-423(b) Component of the Plan. 

(k) “Designated Company” shall mean any Subsidiary or Affiliate selected by the Administrator as eligible to participate in

whose customary employment with the Company or Designated Company is at least 20 hours per week and more than five months in any calendar year except for certain employees of certain Designated Companies that the Administrator may, from time to
time, designate (so long as such designation is not on terms that do not comply with Section 423 of the Code) as eligible to participate in the Plan 1. For purposes of the Plan, the
employment relationship shall be treated as continuing intact while the individual is on sick leave or other leave of absence approved by the Company. Where the period of leave exceeds three months and the individual’s right to reemployment is
not guaranteed either by statute or by contract, the employment relationship shall be deemed to have terminated three months and one day following the commencement of such leave. For purposes of clarity, the term “Eligible Employee” will

(b) Limitations. Any provisions of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no Eligible Employee shall be granted an option under the
Plan (other than under the Non-423(b) Component) (i) to the extent that, immediately after the grant, such Eligible Employee (or any other person whose stock would be attributed to such Eligible Employee
pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code) would own capital stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company and/or hold outstanding options to purchase such stock possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value

Section 4 Offering Periods. 

The Plan shall be implemented by consecutive Offering Periods with the date of the first Offering Period to be determined by the Board, and
continuing thereafter until terminated in accordance with Section 20 hereof. The Administrator shall have the power to change the duration of Offering Periods (including the commencement dates thereof) with respect to future Offering Periods
without shareholder approval if such change is announced prior to the scheduled beginning of the first Offering Period to be affected thereby. 

Section 5 Participation. 

An Eligible Employee may become a participant in the Plan by completing a subscription agreement authorizing payroll deductions in such form as
is designated by the Company for such purpose and filing it with the Company’s payroll office within the period specified by the Company prior to the applicable Offering Date.

 Section 6 Payroll Deductions. 

(a) At the time a participant files his or her subscription agreement, he or she shall elect to have payroll deductions made on each pay day
during the Offering Period in an amount not exceeding 10% of the Compensation which he or she receives on each pay day during the Offering Period; provided, however, that should a pay day occur on an Exercise Date, a participant shall
have the payroll deductions made on such day applied to his or her account under the immediately following Offering Period. A participant’s subscription agreement shall remain in effect for successive Offering Periods unless terminated as
provided in Section 10 hereof. 
 (b) Payroll deductions for a participant shall commence on the first payday following the Offering
Date and shall end on the last payday in the Offering Period to which such authorization is applicable, unless sooner terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10 hereof. 

(c) All payroll deductions made for a participant shall be credited to his or her account under the Plan and shall be withheld in whole
percentages only. If payroll deductions for purposes of the Plan are prohibited or otherwise problematic under applicable law (as determined by the Administrator in its discretion), the Administrator may permit the participants to contribute to the
Plan by such other means as determined by the Administrator to the extent permitted by Section 423 with respect to the Code Section 423(b) Plan. Any reference to “payroll deductions” in this Section (or in any other Section of
the Plan) shall similarly cover contributions by other means made pursuant to this Section 6. 
 (d) A participant may discontinue his
or her participation in the Plan as provided in Section 10 hereof, or may increase or decrease the rate of his or her payroll deductions during the Offering Period by completing or filing with the Company a new subscription agreement
authorizing a change in payroll deduction rate. The Administrator may, in its discretion, limit the nature and/or number of participation rate changes during any Offering Period, provided that such limitations are administered on a uniform and non-discriminatory basis. The change in rate shall be effective with the first full payroll period occurring five business days after the Company’s receipt of the new subscription agreement unless the Company
elects to process a given change in participation more quickly. 
 (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply with
Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(b) hereof, a participant’s payroll deductions may be decreased to zero percent at any time during an Offering Period. Payroll deductions shall recommence at the rate originally elected by
the participant effective as of the beginning of the first Offering Period which is scheduled to end in the following calendar year, unless terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10 hereof. 

(f) At the time the option is exercised, in whole or in part, or at the time some or all of the Company’s Common Stock issued under the
Plan is disposed of, the participant must make adequate provision for the Company’s federal, state, or other tax liability payable to any authority, national insurance, social security or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise
upon the exercise of the option or the disposition of the Common Stock. At any time, the 

  
 6 













 
Company or the employing Designated Company, as applicable, may, but shall not be obligated to, withhold from the participant’s compensation the amount necessary for the Company to meet
applicable withholding obligations, including any withholding required to make available to the Company or the employing Designated Company, as applicable, any tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early disposition of Common Stock by
the Eligible Employee. 
 Section 7 Grant of Option. 

On the Offering Date of each Offering Period, each Eligible Employee participating in such Offering Period shall be granted an option to
purchase on each Exercise Date during such Offering Period (at the applicable Purchase Price) up to a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock determined by dividing such Eligible Employee’s payroll deductions accumulated prior to
such Exercise Date and retained in the participant’s account as of the Exercise Date by the applicable Purchase Price; provided that in no event shall an Eligible Employee be permitted to purchase during each Offering Period more than
                     shares of the Company’s Common Stock (subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 19), and provided further that
such purchase shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 3(b) and 13 hereof. The Eligible Employee may accept the grant of such option by turning in a completed subscription agreement in such form as is designated by the Company for
such purpose to the Company within the period specified by the Company prior to an Offering Date. The Administrator may, for future Offering Periods, increase or decrease, in its absolute discretion, the maximum number of shares of the
Company’s Common Stock an Eligible Employee may purchase during each Offering Period. Exercise of the option shall occur as provided in Section 8 hereof, unless the participant has withdrawn pursuant to Section 10 hereof. The option
shall expire on the last day of the Offering Period. 
 Section 8 Exercise of Option. 

(a) Unless a participant withdraws from the Plan as provided in Section 10 hereof, his or her option for the purchase of shares shall be
exercised automatically on the Exercise Date, and the maximum number of full shares subject to the option shall be purchased for such participant at the applicable Purchase Price with the accumulated payroll deductions in his or her account. No
fractional shares shall be purchased; any payroll deductions accumulated in a participant’s account that are not sufficient to purchase a full share shall be retained in the participant’s account for the subsequent Offering Period, subject
to earlier withdrawal by the participant as provided in Section 10 hereof. Any other funds left over in a participant’s account after the Exercise Date shall be returned to the participant. During a participant’s lifetime, a
participant’s option to purchase shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or her. 
 (b) If the Administrator determines that, on a
given Exercise Date, the number of shares with respect to which options are to be exercised may exceed (i) the number of shares of Common Stock that were available for sale under the Plan on the Offering Date of the applicable Offering Period,
or (ii) the number of shares available for sale under the Plan on such Exercise Date, the Administrator may in its sole discretion (x) provide that the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares of Common Stock available for
purchase on such Offering Date or Exercise Date, as applicable, 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


  
 7 













 
purchase Common Stock on such Exercise Date, and continue all Offering Periods then in effect, or (y) provide that the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares available for
purchase on such Offering Date or Exercise Date, as applicable, 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 terminate any or all Offering Periods then in effect pursuant to Section 20 hereof. The Company may make a pro rata allocation of the shares available on the Offering Date of any applicable Offering Period pursuant to
the preceding sentence, notwithstanding any authorization of additional shares for issuance under the Plan by the Company’s shareholders subsequent to such Offering Date. 

Section 9 Delivery. 

As soon as reasonably practicable after each Exercise Date on which a purchase of shares occurs, the Company shall arrange the delivery to each
participant the shares purchased upon exercise of his or her option in a form determined by the Administrator, including by means of electronic notice. 

Section 10 Withdrawal. 

(a) A participant may withdraw all but not less than all the payroll deductions credited to his or her account and not yet used to exercise his
or her option under the Plan at any time prior to the Exercise Date for an Offering Period by giving written notice to the Company in such form and within the period designated by the Company for such purpose. All of the participant’s payroll
deductions credited to his or her account shall be paid to such participant promptly after receipt of notice of withdrawal and such participant’s option for the Offering Period shall be automatically terminated, and no further payroll
deductions for the purchase of shares shall be made for such Offering Period. If a participant withdraws from an Offering Period, payroll deductions shall not resume at the beginning of the succeeding Offering Period unless the participant delivers
to the Company a new subscription agreement. 
 (b) A participant’s withdrawal from an Offering Period shall not have any effect upon
his or her eligibility to participate in any similar plan that 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. 

Section 11 Termination of Employment. 

Upon a participant ceasing to be an Eligible Employee, for any reason, he or she shall be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan and
the payroll deductions credited to such participant’s account during the Offering Period but not yet used to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Plan shall be returned to such participant or, in the case of his or her death, to the person
or persons entitled thereto under Section 15 hereof, and such participant’s option shall be automatically terminated. 

  
 8 













 Section 12 Interest. 

No interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions of a participant in the Plan except where necessary to comply with applicable law. 

Section 13 Stock. 

(a) Subject to adjustment upon changes in capitalization of the Company as provided in Section 19 hereof, the maximum number of shares of
the Company’s Common Stock which shall be made available for sale under the Plan shall be                shares of Common Stock. 

(b) Until the shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of
the Company), a participant shall only have the rights of an unsecured creditor with respect to such shares, and no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to such shares. 

(c) Shares of Common Stock to be delivered to a participant under the Plan shall be registered in the name of the participant or in the name of
the participant and his or her spouse. 
 Section 14 Administration. 

The Administrator shall administer the Plan and shall have full and exclusive discretionary authority to construe, interpret and apply the
terms of the Plan, to determine eligibility and to adjudicate all disputed claims filed under the Plan. Every finding, decision and determination made by the Administrator shall, to the full extent permitted by law, be final and binding upon all
parties. 
 Section 15 Designation of Beneficiary. 

(a) If permitted by the Administrator, a participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any shares and cash, if
any, from the participant’s account under the Plan in the event of such participant’s death subsequent to an Exercise Date on which the option is exercised but prior to delivery to such participant of such shares and cash. In addition, if
permitted by the Administrator, a participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any cash from the participant’s account under the Plan in the event of such participant’s death prior to exercise of the
option. If a participant is married and the designated beneficiary is not the spouse, spousal consent shall be required for such designation to be effective. 

(b) Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the participant at any time by written notice. In the event of the death of a participant
and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is living at the time of such participant’s death, the Company shall deliver such shares and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate of the participant, or
if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver such shares and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or relatives of the participant, or if no
spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate. 

  
 9 













 (c) All beneficiary designations shall be in such form and manner as the Administrator may
designate from time to time. 
 Section 16 Transferability. 

Neither payroll deductions credited to a participant’s account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive
shares under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or as provided in Section 15 hereof) by the participant. Any such attempt at assignment,
transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw funds from an Offering Period in accordance with Section 10 hereof. 

Section 17 Use of Funds. 

All payroll deductions received or held by the Company under the Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and the Company
shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions except where necessary to comply with an exemption or requirement of applicable law. Until shares are issued, participants shall only have the rights of an unsecured creditor. 

Section 18 Reports. 

Individual accounts shall be maintained for each participant in the Plan. Statements of account shall be given to participating Eligible
Employees at least annually, which statements shall set forth the amounts of payroll deductions, the Purchase Price, the number of shares purchased and the remaining cash balance, if any. 

Section 19 Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Liquidation or Change in Control. 

(a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, the maximum number of shares of the
Company’s Common Stock which shall be made available for sale under the Plan, the maximum number of shares each participant may purchase each Offering Period (pursuant to Section 7), 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 change 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. 

  
 10 













 (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or
liquidation of the Company, the Offering Period 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, at least ten business
days 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 10 hereof. 
 (c) Change in Control. In
the event of a Change in Control, each outstanding option shall be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that 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 occur before
the date of the Company’s proposed Change in Control. The Administrator shall notify each participant in writing, at least ten business days 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 10
hereof. 
 Section 20 Amendment or Termination. 

(a) The Administrator may at any time and for any reason terminate, amend or suspend the Plan. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, no
such termination can affect options previously granted, provided that an Offering Period may be terminated by the Administrator on any Exercise Date if the Administrator determines that the termination of the Offering Period or the Plan is in the
best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Except as provided in Section 19 hereof and this Section 20, no amendment may make any change in any option theretofore granted which adversely affects the rights of any participant
without the prior written consent of such participant. To the extent necessary to comply with Section 423 of the Code (or any successor rule or provision or any other applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule), the Company shall obtain
shareholder approval in such a manner and to such a degree as required. 
 (b) Without shareholder consent and without regard to whether any
participant rights may be considered to have been “adversely affected,” the Administrator shall be entitled to change the Offering Periods, limit the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount withheld during an Offering Period,
establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars, permit payroll withholding in excess of the amount designated by a participant in order to adjust for delays or mistakes in the Company’s
processing of properly completed withholding elections, establish reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Common Stock for each participant properly
correspond with amounts withheld from the participant’s Compensation, and establish such other limitations or procedures as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion advisable which are consistent with the Plan. 

  
 11 













 (c) In the event the Administrator determines that the ongoing operation of the Plan may
result in unfavorable financial accounting consequences, the Board may, in its discretion and, to the extent necessary or desirable, modify, amend or terminate the Plan to reduce or eliminate such accounting consequence including, but not limited
to: 
 (i) increasing the Purchase Price for any Offering Period including an Offering Period underway at the time of the
change in Purchase Price; and 
 (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 Board action. 
 Such modifications or amendments shall not require stockholder
approval or the consent of any Plan participants. 
 Section 21 Notices. 

All notices or other communications by a participant to the Company under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been duly
given when received in the form and manner specified by the Company at the location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof. 

Section 22 Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. 

Shares of Common Stock shall not be issued with respect to an option unless the exercise of such option and the issuance and delivery of such
shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all applicable provisions of law, domestic or foreign, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the
requirements of any stock exchange upon which the shares may then be listed or any other governmental or regulatory body, which authority, registration or rule compliance is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary or advisable for the
issuance and sale of any shares hereunder. 
 As a condition to the exercise of an option, the Company may require the person exercising
such option to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a
representation is required by any of the aforementioned applicable provisions of law. 
 Section 23 Term of Plan. 

The Plan shall become effective upon approval by the shareholders of the Company, which shall occur no later than 12 months after the date the
Plan is adopted by the Board (such date, the “Effective Date”). Such stockholder approval will be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under applicable laws. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten years from the
Effective Date, unless terminated earlier under Section 20 of the Plan. 

  
 12
