	12.	Termination. 

  

	 	12.1.	At will Employment. 

 The Employee’s
employment is “at-will.” This means that either the Employee or the Company may terminate the Employee’s employment under this Agreement at any time, with or without cause and with or without notice. 

 

	 	12.2.	Termination as a Result of Death or Disability; Resignation without Good Reason; or Termination for Cause. 

If the Employee’s employment terminates during the Term of this Agreement as a result of the death or disability of the Employee1, the Employee resignation without Good Reason2 or termination by the Company for Cause3 then the Company shall have no further obligations to the Employee
other than the payment, on the date of determination of base salary that was earned but remains unpaid though the last day of employment payment, on the date of determination of base salary that was earned but remains unpaid through the last day of
employment. 
  

	1 	Based on the nature of the Employee’s position, the Parties agree that, if the Employee is unable, with reasonable accommodation, to perform the essential
functions of his position for 60 consecutive days, continuing his employment under this Agreement would result in undue hardship to the Company and the Company may properly terminate his employment. If Employee’s employment terminates as a
result of his death, the Company will pay Employee’s estate the prorated portion of any incentive bonus that Employee would have earned during the incentive bonus period in which his employment terminates; such prorated bonus will be paid at
the time that such incentive bonuses are paid to other Company employees. 

	2 	“Good Reason” shall mean: (i) the Company unilaterally and materially changing the Employee’s title or duties from that described in paragraph 1
without the Employee’s consent, (ii) any failure by the Company to comply with the material terms of this Agreement, (iii) a material reduction (five percent (5%) or more) of the Employee’s Base Salary under section 6.1,
except that neither a reduction proportionate to reductions imposed on all other members of the Company’s executive management as part of a cost reduction effort nor a reduction of the Employee’s base salary due to a change of duties as a
result of disability will not be a Good Reason for termination or (iv) a change of more than 40 miles in the geographic location at which the Employee must regularly perform the Employee’s duties and responsibilities under the Agreement
(currently 4655 Old Ironsides Road, Santa Clara, California). If the Employee intends to resign for one of the Good Reasons listed above, the Employee shall give notice of such intent to the Company within 60 days after the occurrence of the
circumstances giving rise to the Good Reason, detailing such Good Reason with specificity. If the Company does not remedy the situation so as to eliminate the Good Reason within 30 days of receiving such notice, then such resignation by the Employee
from the Company shall be deemed a “Resignation for Good Reason” effective as of the end of such 30 day period, and in such case the Employee shall, for such period of time as may be requested by the Company not to exceed sixty
(60) days from the delivery of such notice, remain employed by the Company for the purpose of providing his full cooperation and assistance with the transition of the Employee’s duties and responsibilities. 

	3 	 For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall, mean the Employee’s termination for any one or more of the following reasons:
(i) Employee’s conviction of, or plea of “guilty” or “no contest” to, any crime involving fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude; (ii) Employee’s commission of or participation in a fraud or act of dishonesty
against the Company (or the surviving entity) that is materially detrimental to the Company or the surviving entity, (iii) Employee’s knowing and intentional material violation of any contract or agreement between Employee and the Company
or the surviving entity or any statutory or fiduciary duty you owe to the Company or the surviving entity; (iv) Employee’s intentional conduct that constitutes gross insubordination or habitual neglect of your duties and that is materially
detrimental to the Company; (v) Employee’s intentional breach of a Company policy (including policies prohibiting discrimination and harassment) that is materially detrimental to the Company; or (vi) Employee’s refusal to comply
in any material respect with the legal directives of the Company’s Board of Directors so long as such directives are not inconsistent with Employee’s position and duties, and such refusal to comply is not remedied within thirty
(30) days after written notice from the Board of Directors, which notice shall state that failure to remedy such conduct may result in termination for Cause; provided, however, that in order to terminate the Employee’s employment
for Cause, if the act or failure to act which is the basis for such decision is susceptible of cure, the Board shall give the Employee notice that it intends to terminate the Employee’s employment for Cause, specifying the particular act or
failure to act and giving the Employee thirty (30) days after such notice to cure such act or failure to act to the satisfaction of the Board. If the Board of Directors does not deliver to the Employee a notice to cure, which states with
specificity the grounds constituting “cause” within the sixty (60) day period after the Board of Directors have actual knowledge that an event constituting Cause has occurred, such event will no longer constitute Cause.

  
 3 

	 	12.3.	Termination without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason. 

 If the Employee’s employment is terminated without “Cause” or if the Employee resigns for Good Reason, then: 
  

	 	12.3.1.	The Company shall pay the Employee all base salary earned though the last day of employment, and the portion of any bonus that is earned but unpaid as of such date,
such amounts shall be paid on the date of termination. In addition, the Company shall pay to Employee, at the time it regularly makes bonus payments, if any, to other executive officers with respect to the period in which Employee’s employment
is terminated, a prorated portion of the Employee’s bonus for such period determined by multiplying (a) the percentage of time in such bonus period that the Employee worked by (b) the percentage of the total bonus that the Board
subsequently determines was earned by executives for such period. By way of example, if the Employee were terminated after one month in a quarter, and the Board determined that executive bonus objectives merited payment of 2/3 of the maximum bonus
payment in such quarter, the Employee would receive a bonus payment of 2/9ths of the maximum bonus for such period (1/3 x 2/3). 

  

	 	12.3.2.	Severance. 

 Subject to
the Employee’s execution of the Release described in section 12.5.1: 
  

	 	12.3.2.1.	The Company shall continue to pay the Employee the Employee’s Base Salary as determined on his last day of employment for a period of nine (9) months (the
“Severance Period”). The Employee has no obligation to search for alternative employment during this 9 month time frame. In addition, the Company shall vest all of the Employee’s shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the date of
this Agreement under the terms of the two Founders’ Stock Purchase Agreements between the Employee and the Company. 

  

	 	12.3.2.2.	 If the Employee elects to continue health insurance coverage under COBRA, then for nine (9) months or until the Employee becomes eligible for
group health insurance under any other policy, whichever occurs first, the Company will reimburse the Employee monthly for the portion of his documented COBRA expenses equal to the amount that was paid by the Company for such coverage prior to the
termination of employment. The Employee will not be reimbursed for the portion of the premium, if any, which had been paid by the Employee prior to the termination of employment or for any administrative fees or increases in premiums. The Employee
is 

  
 4 

	 	
solely responsible for filing any necessary paperwork for COBRA coverage and payment of all premiums. 

 

	 	12.4.	Internal Revenue Code Section 409A(a)(1)(B) 

  

	 	12.4.1.	To the fullest extent applicable, amounts and other benefits payable under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from the definition of “nonqualified deferred
compensation” under Section 409A of the Code in accordance with one or more of the exemptions available under the final Treasury regulations promulgated under Section 409A. In this regard, each payment under this Agreement that is
made in a series of scheduled installments (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii), including without limitation, each salary continuation payment under section 12.3.3.1, shall be deemed a separate payment for purposes
of Code section 409A. 

  

	 	12.4.2.	To the extent that any amounts or benefits payable under this Agreement are or become subject to Section 409A due to a failure to qualify for an exemption from the
definition of nonqualified deferred compensation in accordance with the final Code section 409A regulations, this Agreement is intended to comply with the applicable requirements of Code section 409A with respect to such amounts or benefits. This
Agreement shall be interpreted and administered to the extent possible in a manner consistent with the foregoing statement of intent. 

  

	 	12.4.3.	In each case where this Agreement provides for the payment of an amount that constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation under Code section 409A to be made to the
Employee within a designated period (e.g., within 30 days after the date of termination) and such period begins and ends in different calendar years, the exact payment date within such range shall be determined by the Company, in its sole
discretion, and the Employee shall, have no right to designate the year in which the payment shall be made. 

  

	 	12.4.4.	Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or elsewhere to the contrary, if the Company is a public company on the Employee’s date of termination and the Employee
is a “Specified Employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, as determined by the Company’s Compensation Committee) on such date, and the Company reasonably determines that any amount or other benefit
payable under this Agreement on account of the Employee’s separation from service, within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code, constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation that will subject the Employee to
“additional tax” under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code (together with any interest or penalties imposed with respect to, or in connection with, such tax, a “409A Tax”) with respect to the payment of such amount or the
provision of such benefit if paid or provided at the time specified in the Agreement, then the payment or provision thereof shall be postponed to the first business day of the seventh month following the date of termination or, if earlier, the date
of the Employee’s death (the “Delayed Payment Date”). The Company and the Employee may agree to take other actions to avoid the imposition of a 409A Tax at such time and in such manner as permitted under Section 409A. In the
event that this section 12.4.3 requires a delay of any payment, such payment shall be accumulated and paid in a single lump sum on the Delayed Payment Date. 

  
 5 

	 	12.4.5.	The Employee’s date of termination for purposes of determining the date that any payment or benefit that is treated as nonqualified deferred compensation under
Code section 409A is to be paid or provided (or in determining whether an exemption to such treatment applies), and for purposes of determining whether the Employee is a “Specified Employee” on the date of termination, shall be the
date on which the Employee has incurred a “separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-1(h), or in subsequent IRS guidance under Code section 409A. 

 

	 	12.5.	Conditions to Payment of the Severance. 

  

	 	12.5.1.	Execution of Release as a Condition Precedent: As a condition precedent to receipt of the severance benefits described in Section 12.3.2, the Employee must
execute and deliver to the Company a full general Release of all claims, known and unknown, in the form attached as Exhibit B. If the Employee does not execute and deliver the Release within 21 days of the date of termination, the Company
shall have no further obligation to provide the Employee with any severance benefits. 

  

	 	12.5.2.	CIPA: If, during the Severance Period, the Employee knowingly breaches any term of the CIPA including without limitation the provision prohibiting solicitation
of employees and consultants, then the severance benefits described under Section 12.3.2 shall immediately cease.

 GENERAL RELEASE 

 GENERAL, RELEASE 

I, the undersigned current or former employee of Chegg, Inc. (the “Company”), hereby agree that in consideration for the
Severance referenced in the Employment Agreement between the Company and me dated December 8th, 2008, and provided that I do not rescind this General Release during the seven-day rescission period described below, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, I hereby release, acquit and forever discharge the Company and its respective officers, directors, agents, servants, employees, attorneys, shareholders, successors, assigns and affiliates, of and from any and all claims,
liabilities, demands, causes of action, costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, damages, indemnities and obligations of every kind and nature, in law, equity, or otherwise, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed,
arising out of or in any way related to agreements, events, acts or conduct at any time prior to and including the execution date of this General Release, including but not limited to: all such claims and demands directly or indirectly arising out
of or in any way connected with my employment with the Company or the termination of that employment; claims or demands related to salary, bonuses, commissions, stock, stock options (except for the Severance, which is provided as consideration for
this General Release), or any other ownership interests in the Company, vacation pay, sick leave pay, personal time off pay, fringe benefits, expense reimbursements, severance pay, or any other form of compensation; claims pursuant to any federal,
state or local law, statute, or cause of action including, but not limited to, the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. section 621 et seq.; the federal Americans with Disabilities
Act of 1990; the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended; state employment laws; tort law; contract law; wrongful discharge; discrimination; harassment; fraud; defamation; emotional distress; and breach of the implied
covenant of good faith and fair dealing. 
 I understand that there are certain claims which, under state or federal statutes or
regulations, may not be released or may not be released except with the participation and approval of a state or federal agency. For example, claims for earned but unpaid wages and claims for indemnification under the California Labor Code cannot be
waived or released, and claims for benefits under the Family and Medical Leave Act and claims related to Workers’ Compensation benefits may not be waived without the express approval of the agencies that oversee administration of those laws.
The Release is not intended to cover and does not extend to these claims or other claims that, by law, cannot be released in an agreement between an employer and an employee. 
 Further, this Agreement recognizes the rights and responsibilities of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) and the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing
(“DFEH”) to enforce the statutes which come under their jurisdiction. I understand that this Agreement is not intended to prevent me from initiating or participating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by the EEOC or the DFEH;
provided, however, that nothing in this section limits or affects the finality or the scope of the Release. I acknowledge and agree that I have waived and released any claim I may have for damages based on any alleged discrimination, and may not
recover damages in any proceeding conducted by the EEOC or the DFEH. 
 In addition, this Release does not apply to any claims
that I may have to be indemnified for acts or omissions as a director, officer or employee of the Company, whether arising under applicable law, the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws (as each may be amended from time to time), or
an agreement between me and the Company. 
 As a condition for the Severance, I agree to keep confidential the terms of this
General Release and any negotiations or discussions leading thereto. I understand that am, permitted to disclose these terms to my accountant, attorney and spouse, if any, provided such recipient of the information agrees to be bound by the
confidentiality requirement of this section, or if otherwise required by law. 

 I have been advised and understand that I have twenty-one (21) days from the date of
receipt to decide whether or not to sign this General Release which period may be shortened and waived by me. This period is designed to allow me to consult with a financial advisor, accountant, attorney or anyone else whose advice I choose to seek.
I acknowledge that the Company has specifically advised me to consult with an attorney of my choice before signing this General Release. 
 I have been advised and understand that after signing this document I have seven (7) days to revoke my agreement to the terms of this document. Any revocation should be in writing and delivered to
the Board of Directors of the Company, by close of business at the end of the seventh business day after signing this document. This General Release will not become effective until the seven (7) day revocation period has passed. 

I acknowledge and understand the statutory language of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California set forth below
and, having been so apprised, agree nevertheless to waive any and all rights or benefits which I may now or in the future have under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code or any similar provision of Federal law. California Civil Code
Section 1542 provides as follows: 
 A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT
TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR. 
 By signing below, I acknowledge that I am entering into this General Release knowingly and voluntarily. In addition, I hereby acknowledge by my signature that I have carefully read and fully understand
all the provisions of this General Release. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this General Release effective
as of the date set forth below.

 AMENDMENT TO THE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

This Amendment to the Employment Agreement (the “Amendment”) amends the Employment Agreement by and between Aayush Phumbhra

 The following is hereby added to the Agreement as Section 12.7: 
 As of the
date of the execution of the Amendment by Employee, Employee is an employee of the Company and a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Employee agrees to step down from the Board upon request of the Company’s
then Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”). At the time of his resignation from the Board, should the employee concurrently resign his employment with the Company, Employee’s employment with the Company will terminate and: 

12.7.1 The Company shall pay Employee earned salary and bonuses as described in Section 12.3.1. 

12.7.2 Within 30 days following the Employee’s termination date, the Company shall pay Employee a lump sum of nine
(9) months’ salary as severance, using Employee’s salary as of the last date of his employment. 
 12.7.3 As a
condition precedent to receipt of the benefits described in Sections 12.7.1 and 12.7.2, the Company and Employee will enter into the Advisory Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Advisory Agreement”).
Employee’s failure to execute and deliver the Advisory Agreement within 10 days of the date of termination will release the Company from any obligation to provide any post-termination benefits set forth in the Agreement. 

12.7.4 The provisions of Section 12.3.2 shall not apply to a resignation from employment concurrent to a request from the Board from
the CEO governed by this Section 12.7. 
 12.7.5 As a condition precedent to receipt of the benefits described in Sections
12.7.1 through 12.7.2, and as a condition precedent to the Company entering into the Advisory Agreement described in Section 12.7.4, Employee must execute and deliver to the Company a full general Release of all claims, known and unknown, in
the form attached to the Agreement as Exhibit B. 

 12.7.6 Employee shall deliver to the Board a letter of resignation from the Board effective
as of the date of termination. Unless otherwise requested in writing by the CEO, such resignation will include Employee’s resignation as an employee and officer of the Company and as a member of the Board, as well as his resignation from any
and all officerships, directorships or fiduciary positions with the Company or its affiliates. 
 12.7.7 Employee shall deliver
to the Company a letter of resignation from his employment with the Company effective as of the date of termination. Employee is incurring a “separation from service” as such term is defined in Code Section 409A and the regulations
thereunder.

Aayush Phumbhra Advisory Service Agreement 
 Dear Aayush: 
 On behalf of Chegg, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the
“Company”), I would like to express our appreciation for your willingness to continue your service to Chegg as an advisor to the Company. 
 The terms of your arrangement with the Company are as set forth below in this Advisory Service Agreement (the “Agreement”): 

1. Services. 
 (a) Performance. During your service, you agree to perform the services described on Exhibit A attached hereto. In addition, from time to time at the request of the Company, you will
informally work with and advise the Company on other mutually agreed matters and projects. You need not wait for any specific meeting, however, to bring matters of importance or concern to our attention at any time. The services described in this
paragraph 1(a) are collectively referred to as the “Services.” 
 (b) Compensation. As
consideration for the Services hereunder, the Company will provide the compensation described on Exhibit A attached hereto. Any expenses incurred by you in performing the Services will be your sole responsibility, provided, however, that
the company will pay for your monthly cell phone (if applicable), MiFI unit and internet services for the Ipad which are used to perform Services for the Company and, from time to time the Company will reimburse you for reasonable travel and lodging
expenses incurred while performing other Services for the Company when the Company has agreed in advance to reimburse specific expenses. You will receive no royalty or other remuneration on the production or distribution of any products developed by
the Company or by you in connection with or based upon the Services (“Products”). Please note that the Company must have a completed W-9 Form on file in order to process any payments. 

2. Relationship of Parties. As of the date of this Agreement and during your tenure as an Advisor, you are an
independent contractor and are not an agent or employee of, and you have no authority to bind, the Company by contract or otherwise. You will perform the Services under the general direction of the Company, but you will determine, in your sole
discretion, the manner and means by which the Services are accomplished, subject to the requirement that you shall at all times comply with applicable law. The Company has no right or authority to control the manner or means by which the Services
are accomplished. You will not be entitled to receive any vacation or illness payments, or to participate in any plans, arrangements, or distributions by the Company pertaining to any bonus, stock option, profit sharing, insurance or similar
benefits for the Company’s employees.

(a) Definition. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Designs and Materials” shall mean all
designs, discoveries, inventions, products, computer programs, procedures, improvements, developments, drawings, notes, documents, information and materials made, conceived or developed by you alone or with others which result from or relate to the
Services. 
 (b) Assignment of Ownership. You hereby irrevocably transfer and assign any and all of its right,
title, and interest in and to Designs and Materials, including but not limited to all copyrights, patent rights, trade secrets and trademarks, to the Company. Designs and Materials will be the sole property of the Company and the Company will have
the sole right to determine the treatment of any Designs and Materials, including the right to keep them as trade secrets, to file and execute patent applications on them, to use and disclose them without prior patent application, to file
registrations for copyright or trademark on them in its own name, or to follow any other procedure that the Company deems appropriate. You agree: (a) to disclose promptly in writing to the Company all Designs and Materials; (b) to
cooperate with and assist the Company to apply for, and to execute any applications and/or assignments reasonably necessary to obtain, any patent, copyright, trademark or other statutory protection for Designs and Materials in the Company’s
name as the Company deems appropriate; and (c) to otherwise treat all Designs and Materials as “Confidential Information,” as defined below. These obligations to disclose, assist, execute and keep confidential will
survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement. 
 (c) Moral Rights Waiver.
“Moral Rights” means any right to claim authorship of a work, any right to object to any distortion or other modification of a work, and any similar right, existing under the law of any country in the world, or under any
treaty. You hereby irrevocably transfer and assign to the Company any and all Moral Rights that you may have in any Services, Designs and Materials or Products. You also hereby forever waive and agree never to assert against the Company, its
successors or licensees, any and all Moral Rights you may have in any Services, Designs and Materials or Products, even after expiration or termination of this Agreement. 
 4. Confidential Information. You acknowledge that you will acquire information and materials from the Company and knowledge about the business, products, programming techniques,
experimental work, customers, clients and suppliers of the Company and that all such knowledge, information and materials acquired, the existence, terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the Designs and Materials, are and will be the trade
secrets and confidential and proprietary information of the Company (collectively “Confidential Information”). Confidential Information will not include, however, any information, which is or becomes part of the public
domain through no fault of you or that the Company regularly gives to third parties without restriction on use or disclosure. You agree to hold all such Confidential Information in strict confidence, not to disclose it to others or use it in any
way, commercially or otherwise, except in performing the Services, and not to allow any unauthorized person access to it, either before or after expiration or termination of this Agreement. You further agree to take all action

reasonably necessary and satisfactory to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information including, without limitation, implementing and enforcing operating procedures to minimize the
possibility of unauthorized use or copying of the Confidential Information. 
 5.
Termination and Expiration. 
 (a) Term and Expiration. This Agreement will take effect immediately
upon Employee’s resignation from employment with Chegg and the Chegg Board of Directors pursuant to Section 12.7 of the Employee’s Employment Agreement (as amended), provided that it has been executed by both parties no later than 10
days after the resignation date, so that the Employee’s service with the company is continuous and uninterrupted. Unless terminated earlier by breach as set out in subsection (b) below, this Agreement will expire 15 months from the
effective date. 
 (b) Early Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by either Party for breach of this Agreement
or any other Agreement between the parties, provided that the party alleging a breach gives the other Party written notice of the breach and 10 business days to remedy the breach. 

(c) No Election of Remedies. The election by the Company to terminate this Agreement in accordance with its terms
shall not be deemed an election of remedies, and all other remedies provided by this Agreement or available at law or in equity shall survive any termination. 
 6. Effect of Expiration or Termination. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason: 

(a) each party will be released from all obligations to the other arising after the date of expiration or termination, except that
expiration or termination of this Agreement will not relieve you of its obligations under Sections 3, 4, 7, 8(b), 8(c) and 9, nor will expiration or termination relieve the Company of its obligation to pay you for your Services through the
original term of this Agreement unless the Agreement is terminated due to your breach of its terms, nor will expiration or termination relieve you or the Company from any liability arising from any breach of this Agreement; and 

(b) You will promptly notify the Company of all Confidential Information, including but not limited to the Designs and Materials, in your
possession and, at your expense and in accordance with the Company’s instructions, will promptly deliver to the Company all such Confidential Information.

 7. Covenants. 

(a) Competitive Activities. You will not during the term of this Agreement, directly or indirectly, in any individual or
representative capacity, engage or participate in or provide services to any business that is competitive with the business being conducted by the Company. You represent that you have no pre-existing obligations or commitments (and will not assume
or otherwise undertake any obligations or commitments) that would be in conflict or inconsistent with, or that would hinder your performance of your obligations under this Agreement. 

(b) Pre-existing Obligations; Non-Infringement. You represent and warrant that (i) you are not under any pre-existing
obligation inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, and (ii) that the Services performed under this Agreement, and any resulting Designs and Materials, will not infringe a patent, copyright or other proprietary right or violate a
trade secret of any third party. 
 (c) Solicitation of Employment. You agree that you will not solicit the
services of any of the employees of the Company during the term of this Agreement and for twelve (12) months thereafter. 

8. General. 
 (a) Assignment. You may not assign your rights or delegate your duties under this Agreement either in whole or in part without the prior written consent of the Company. Any attempted assignment or
delegation without such consent will be void. 
 (b) Equitable Remedies. Because the Services are personal and
unique and because you will have access to Confidential Information of the Company, the Company will have the right to enforce this Agreement and any of its provisions by injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief without prejudice
to any other rights and remedies that the Company may have for a breach of this Agreement. 
 (c)
Attorneys’ Fees. If any action is necessary to enforce the terms of this Agreement, the substantially prevailing party will be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses in addition to any other relief to which
such prevailing party may be entitled. 
 (d) Governing Law; Severability. This Agreement will be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California excluding that body of law pertaining to conflict of laws. If any provision of this Agreement is for any reason found to be unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will
continue in full force and effect. 
 (e) Notices. Any notices under this Agreement will be sent by certified or
registered mail, return receipt requested, to the address specified below or such other address as the party specifies in writing. Such notice will be effective upon its mailing as specified.

	Title:	 	CFOExhibit 10.1 - SelectQuote Lease Amendment

Exhibit 10.1
FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE
This First Amendment to Lease (“Amendment”) is made as of June 13, 2013 by and between The Wells Fund XI - Fund XII - REIT Joint Venture (“Landlord”), and SelectQuote Insurance Services, a California corporation (“Tenant”). 
RECITALS:
A.    Landlord and Tenant executed that certain Office Lease Agreement dated December 15, 2012 (“Lease” or “Original Lease”) for certain premises more particularly described therein containing approximately 34,385 rentable square feet (“Original Premises”) in the 20/20 Building, 2020 West 89th Street, Leawood, Kansas (the “Building”).
B.    The Lease Commencement Date was February 1, 2013 and the scheduled Expiration Date is October 31, 2018.
C.    Tenant desires that the Premises include an additional portion of the third floor of the Building containing approximately 8,561 rentable square feet (“Expansion Premises”) shown on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof.
D.    Landlord and Tenant otherwise desire to amend the Lease as set forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1.    The recitals set forth above are hereby incorporated into and made a material part of this Amendment.  Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Lease.
2.    The Premises are hereby expanded to include the Expansion Premises for a lease Term commencing on the Expansion Space Commencement Date and expiring on the Expiration Date set forth in the Original Lease.  The “Expansion Space Commencement Date” shall be the earliest of (a) the date on which Tenant occupies any portion of the Expansion Premises and begins conducting business therein, (b) the date on which the Work (as defined in Exhibit B hereto) in the Expansion Premises is Substantially Completed (as defined in Exhibit B hereto), or (c) the date on which the Work in the Expansion Premises would have been Substantially Completed but for the occurrence of any Tenant Delay Days (as defined in Exhibit B hereto). The rentable square footage of the Premises shall be 42,946 rentable square feet, being the 34,385 rentable square feet in the Original Premises and the 8,561 rentable square feet in the Expansion Premises.  Consequently, as of the Expansion Space Commencement Date Tenant's Proportionate Share of Real Estate Taxes and Operating Charges shall be 61.2%.  Tenant grants Landlord the right to enter the Expansion Premises in order to perform the work described in Exhibit B.  Tenant shall not interfere with Landlord's performance of the Work; however, Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Tenant to minimize disruption to Tenant's business activities in the Premises.   Tenant releases Landlord and agrees to hold Landlord harmless from any and all claims for loss, cost, damage, liability, injury, or inconvenience caused by Landlord's performance of such Work while Tenant is in possession of the Premises; provided, however, the foregoing release and indemnity shall not be applicable to claims to the extent they arise by reason of the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord's contractors or agents.  

3.    (a) In addition to Base Rent payable under the Lease for the Original Premises, Tenant shall pay Base Rent for the Expansion Premises in the following amounts at the following times in accordance with the requirements of the Lease (prorated for any partial month):
          	
				
	Time Period
	Annual

	$19.75

	2/1/18 - 10/31/18
	--
	$14,374.97
	$20.15

    
E.S.C.D. = Expansion Space Commencement Date
Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided no Event of Default by Tenant exists, Tenant shall not be required to pay Base Rent for the Expansion Premises as set forth above in this Section for the first x number of days after the Expansion Space Commencement Date, where x is equal to 90 days multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months between the Expansion Space Commencement Date and October 31, 2018 and the denominator of which is the number of months between the Lease Commencement Date (i.e., February 1, 2013) and October 31, 2018 (the “Proration Fraction”).  In the event that Tenant commits a material, monetary Event of Default during the Term and Tenant fails to cure before Landlord exercises its remedies under the Lease, then the unamortized portion of all sums so abated shall be immediately due and payable, such amortization to be on a straight line basis over the initial Term of this Lease.
(b)  In addition to the foregoing amounts, Tenant shall pay additional Base Rent for above-standard HVAC for the Expansion Premises as set forth in the following table (prorated for any partial month): 
 
	
			
	Months
	

Annual

	$193.06

	2/1/18 - 10/31/18
	---
	$196.92

4.    Tenant shall continue to be responsible for Additional Rent as provided in the Lease, subject to the increase of Tenant's Proportionate Share stated above in this Amendment.
5.    The workletter attached hereto as Exhibit B is hereby made a material part hereof.  Tenant accepts the Expansion Premises in an “as is” condition except as provided in Exhibit B.
6.    Reference is made to the last sentence of Section 24.1 of the Original Lease.  Because this expansion is within the first 13,000 rentable square feet of Tenant's expansion space, Tenant shall be entitled to a parking ratio for the Expansion Premises of 6.5 spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet, once Landlord 

completes its intended parking expansion project at the Building, which Landlord shall complete on or before October 31, 2013.  Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the parking expansion project by August 31, 2013.  Subject to availability and the direction of Building property management, Landlord shall permit a reasonable number of Tenant's employees to park in the Building's covered parking area and the unpaved area behind the Building's surface parking lot as needed prior to completion of the parking expansion project.  Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the parking expansion project does not unreasonably interfere with the parking spaces provided to Tenant under the Original Lease.
7.    [Intentionally Deleted] 
8.    In Section 1 of Exhibit B to the Original Lease, the words “new sinks” and “partition in bathrooms” are hereby deleted and replaced with “new finish flooring.”
9.    Neither Landlord nor Tenant has dealt with any broker or agent in connection with the negotiation or execution of this Amendment, other than CBRE Inc. (“Landlord's Broker”); and Block Real Estate Services (“Tenant's Broker”), whose commissions shall be paid by Landlord pursuant to their separate agreement.  Tenant and Landlord shall each indemnify the other against all costs, expenses, attorneys' fees, and other liability for commissions or other compensation claimed by any other broker or agent claiming the same by, through, or under the indemnifying party.
10.    This Amendment sets forth the entire agreement with respect to the matters set forth herein.  There have been no additional oral or written representations or agreements.   In the case of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Amendment and the Original Lease, including the Exhibits hereto, the provisions of this Amendment shall control to the extent necessary to resolve any inconsistency.

11.    This Amendment shall not be binding until executed and delivered by both parties.
12.    This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, any one of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall be one and the same instrument.
13.    Except as amended by this Amendment, the Lease is hereby ratified and shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect.  However, Section 25.28 of the Original Lease shall not be reinstated (i.e., Landlord shall not be required to make the payment required by Section 25.28 a second time) by virtue of this Amendment.

EXPANSION PREMISES

EXHIBIT B

WORKLETTER

1.    Space Plans.  On or before the execution of this Amendment, Landlord and Tenant have agreed upon a space plan depicting improvements to be installed in the Expansion Premises, which plans were prepared by Rees Masilionis Turley, Project Number 2013301, and dated May 16, 2013 (the “Space Plans”). 

2.    Working Drawings.

(a)    Preparation and Delivery.  Based on the Space Plans, Landlord shall cause to be prepared final working drawings of all improvements to be installed in the Expansion Premises of similar fit and finish of the existing office area Premises and deliver the same to Tenant for its review and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).  Such working drawings shall be prepared by a design consultant selected by Landlord (“Architect”).

(b)    Approval Process. Tenant shall notify Landlord whether it approves of the submitted working drawings within two (2) business days after Landlord's submission thereof.  If Tenant disapproves of such working drawings, then Tenant shall notify Landlord thereof specifying in reasonable detail the reasons for such disapproval, in which case Landlord shall, within five (5) business days after such notice, revise such working drawings in accordance with Tenant's objections and submit the revised working drawings to Tenant for its review and approval.  Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing whether it approves of the resubmitted working drawings within one (1) business day after its receipt thereof.  This process shall be repeated until the working drawings have been finally approved by Landlord and Tenant.  If Tenant fails to notify Landlord that it disapproves of the initial working drawings within two (2) business days (or, in the case of resubmitted working drawings, within one (1) business day) after the submission thereof, then Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the working drawings in question.

3.    Landlord's Approval; Performance of Work.  Landlord's approval of such working drawings shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that (a) they comply with all laws, (b) the improvements depicted thereon do not adversely affect (in the reasonable discretion of Landlord) the Building Structure and Systems, the exterior appearance of the Building, or the appearance of the common area, (c) such working drawings are sufficiently detailed to allow construction of the improvements in a good and workmanlike manner, and (d) the improvements depicted thereon conform to the rules and regulations promulgated from time to time by Landlord for the construction of tenant improvements.  As used herein, “Working Drawings” shall mean the final working drawings approved by Landlord, as amended from time to time by any approved changes thereto, and “Work” shall mean all improvements to be constructed by Landlord in accordance with and as indicated on the Working Drawings.  Landlord's approval of the Working Drawings shall not be a representation or warranty of Landlord that such drawings are adequate for any use or comply with any law, but shall merely be the consent of Landlord thereto.  Tenant shall, at Landlord's request, sign the Working Drawings to evidence its review and approval thereof.  After the Working Drawings have been approved, Landlord shall cause the Work to be performed in substantial accordance with the Working Drawings, using a general contractor selected by Landlord.

4.    Change Orders.  Tenant may initiate changes in the Work through Landlord's project manager.  Each such change must receive the prior written approval of Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; however, (a) if such requested change would adversely affect (in the reasonable discretion of Landlord) (i) the Building Structure and Systems, (ii) the exterior appearance of 

the Building, or (iii) the appearance of the common area, or (b) if any such requested change might delay the Expansion Commencement Date, Landlord may withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion.  If Tenant requests any changes to the Work described in the Working Drawings, then such increased costs and any additional design costs incurred in connection therewith as the result of any such change shall be added to the Total Construction Costs.

5.    Definitions.  As used herein, a “Tenant Delay Day” shall mean each day of delay in the performance of the Work that occurs (a) because of Tenant's failure to timely deliver or approve any required documentation such as the Space Plans or Working Drawings, (b) because Tenant fails to timely furnish any information or deliver or approve any required documents such as the Space Plans, Working Drawings (whether preliminary, interim revisions or final), pricing estimates, construction bids, and the like, (c) because of any change by Tenant to the Space Plans or Working Drawings, (d) because Tenant fails to attend any meeting with Landlord, the Architect, any design professional, or any contractor, or their respective employees or representatives, as may be required or scheduled hereunder or otherwise necessary in connection with the preparation or completion of any construction documents, such as the Space Plans, Working Drawings, or in connection with the performance of the Work, (e) because of any specification by Tenant of materials or installations in addition to or other than Landlord's standard finish-out materials, or (f) because a Tenant Party otherwise delays completion of the Work.  As used herein, “Substantial Completion,” “Substantially Completed,” and any derivations thereof mean the Work in the Premises is substantially completed (as reasonably determined by Landlord) in substantial accordance with the Working Drawings.  Substantial Completion shall have occurred even though minor details of construction, decoration, and mechanical adjustments remain to be completed by Landlord.

6.    Demising Work.  In conjunction with the Work, Landlord shall build a Building standard demising wall and, as appropriate, separate electrical, fire/life safety, HVAC, and other systems serving the Expansion Premises and other space in the Building.  The cost of such demising and related work shall be borne equally by Landlord and Tenant, provided that Tenant may use the Expansion Premises Construction Allowance to pay for Tenant's share of such demising and related work.  Furthermore, Tenant (and not Landlord) shall be responsible for drywall and finish on the side of the wall located within the Premises, as well as any electric and other infrastructure that Tenant desires to install in the demising wall, provided that the Expansion Premises Construction Allowance may be used to pay for same.  Landlord's portion of the demising costs is herein called “Landlord's Demising Costs.”

7.    Walk-Through; Punchlist.  When Landlord considers the Work in the Expansion Premises to be Substantially Completed, Landlord will notify Tenant and within two (2) business days thereafter, Landlord's representative and Tenant's representative shall conduct a walk-through of the Expansion Premises and identify any necessary touch-up work, repairs and minor completion items that are necessary for final completion of the Work.  Neither Landlord's representative nor Tenant's representative shall unreasonably withhold his or her agreement on punchlist items.  Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to cause the contractor performing the Work to complete all punchlist items within 30 days after agreement thereon; however, Landlord shall not be obligated to engage overtime labor in order to complete such items.  Resolution of punchlist items may occur after the Expansion Commencement Date and shall not be deemed a delay in the Substantial Completion of the Work.

8.    Cost of the Work.  The entire cost of performing the Work other than Landlord's Demising Costs (including design of the Work and preparation of the Working Drawings, costs of construction labor and materials, electrical usage during construction, additional janitorial services, general tenant signage, related taxes and insurance costs, and the construction supervision fee referenced below, all of which costs are herein collectively called the “Total Construction Costs”) in excess of the Expansion Premises Construction Allowance (hereinafter defined) shall be paid by Tenant.  Upon Substantial Completion of 

the Work and before Tenant occupies the Premises to conduct business therein, Tenant shall pay to Landlord (if any) an amount equal to the Total Construction Costs (as adjusted for any approved changes to the Work), less the amount of the Expansion Premises Construction Allowance.  In the event of default of payment of such excess costs, Landlord (in addition to all other remedies) shall have the same rights as for a Default under the Lease.

9.    Construction Allowance.  Landlord shall provide to Tenant a construction allowance not to exceed the product of $26.00 per rentable square foot in the Expansion Premises multiplied by the Proration Fraction (such sum is herein called the “Expansion Premises Construction Allowance”) to be applied toward the Total Construction Costs, as adjusted for any changes to the Work, and as otherwise set forth in this Section 9.  The Expansion Premises Construction Allowance shall be applied by Landlord to the payment of the Total Construction Costs, if, as, and when the cost of the Work is actually incurred and paid by Landlord.  To the extent not used to pay the Total Construction Costs, the Expansion Premises Construction Allowance may be used by Tenant in its discretion for new improvements to the Original Premises made in accordance with the Original Lease, to reimburse Tenant for previous improvements to the Original Premises, or to pay Tenant's construction manager a fee up to 2.5% of the Expansion Premises Construction Allowance. The Expansion Premises Construction Allowance must be used (i.e. work performed and (as applicable) invoices submitted to Landlord) within six months following the Expansion Commencement Date or shall be deemed forfeited with no further obligation by Landlord with respect thereto.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no portion of the Expansion Premises Construction Allowance may be used to purchase or install Cabling, furniture, fixtures or equipment; to purchase art; as rent credit; to pay moving costs, legal fees or other costs of Tenant's consultants; or to pay for other non-capital expenses.

10.    Construction Management.  Landlord or its agent shall supervise the Work and coordinate the relationship between the Work, the Building and the Building's systems and equipment.  In consideration for Landlord's construction supervision services, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a construction supervision fee equal to four percent (4%) of the Total Construction Costs.  The Expansion Premises Construction Allowance may be used to pay such costs. 

11.    Construction Representatives.  Landlord's and Tenant's representatives for coordination of construction and approval of change orders will be as follows, provided that either party may change its representative upon written notice to the other:
