	Re:	  Trulia Board of Directors 

 Dear Steve: 

On behalf of Trulia, Inc. (“Trulia”), we would like to extend the invitation to you to join Trulia’s Board of Directors (the
“Board”). Once you accept this invitation, we anticipate the Board moving quickly to formally appoint you as a member of the Board. 
 As
you are aware, Trulia is a Delaware corporation and, therefore, your rights and duties as a Board member are prescribed by Delaware law and our charter documents, as well as by the policies established by our Board from time to time and the rules
and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). As you are aware, upon your formal appointment to the Board, you will become a Section 16
reporting person of Trulia, too. You may also be requested to serve as a director of one or more of our subsidiaries in which case you may be subject to other laws while serving in such a capacity. In addition, please note that, as a director, you
will be subject to the corporate policies of Trulia, including Trulia’s Code of Business Conduct and Insider Trading Policy. 
 The Board has
established three standing committees – the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and from time to time, the Board may establish additional committees to which it may delegate certain
duties. As a member of the Board, you will be asked to serve on one or more of committees. In addition to committee meetings, which shall be convened as needed, our Board meetings are generally held quarterly at our offices in San Francisco, CA, and
you would be expected to attend these meetings, as well as any special meetings that may be scheduled from time to time. 
 You agree that you will hold in
strictest confidence, and not use, except for the benefit of Trulia, or disclose to any person, firm, corporation or other entity, without written authorization of the Board, any non-public, confidential or proprietary information of Trulia, except
to the extent that such disclosure or use may be required in direct connection with your duties as a member of the Board. It is expected that during the term of your Board membership you will not engage in any other employment, occupation,
consulting or other business activity that competes with the business in which Trulia is now involved in or becomes involved in during the term of your service on the Board, nor will you engage in any other activities that conflict with your
obligations to Trulia. 
 If you decide to join the Board, it will be recommended at the time of your election as a member of the Board that, in
consideration for your service, the Company grant you restricted stock units having a fair market value equal to $200,000 based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date

of grant (the “RSUs”). The RSUs will be subject to the terms and conditions of our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and our standard form of award agreements
thereunder. The RSUs shall vest in twelve (12) equal quarterly installments over approximately a three-year period following your election to the Board of Directors. For easier administration, the Company’s RSUs vest only on 4 dates each
year, so the vesting dates for your RSUs will likely not line up precisely with the date of grant. 
 In addition, as a non-employee director of the Board,
you would be entitled to receive the cash and equity compensation for your service as set forth in Trulia’s Outside Director Compensation Policy adopted October 30, 2012, as it may amended from time to time (the “Director
Compensation Policy”), a copy of which has been provided to you. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you would next be eligible for an equity grant (in addition to the RSUs mentioned above), at such time as the Company grants equity awards to
all of its outside directors in accordance with the Director Compensation Policy. The Director Compensation Policy also provides for reimbursement of reasonable, customary and documented travel expenses to Board meetings. 

The payment of compensation to Board members is subject to many restrictions under applicable law, and as such, you should be aware that the compensation set
forth in the Directors Compensation Policy is subject to such future changes and modifications as the Board, or its appropriate committees, may deem necessary or appropriate. In addition, please note that unless otherwise approved by our Board or
required under applicable law, directors of our subsidiaries shall not be entitled to any compensation. 
 Please note that nothing in this letter or any
agreement granting you equity incentive awards under our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan should be construed to interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of Trulia, its Board or stockholders from removing you from the Board or any
committee in accordance with the provisions of applicable law. Furthermore, except as otherwise provided to other non-employee Board members or required by law, Trulia does not intend to afford you any rights as an employee, including without
limitation, the right to further employment or any other benefits. 
 We hope that you find the foregoing terms acceptable. You may indicate your agreement
with these terms by signing and dating both the enclosed duplicate and original letter and returning them to me. By signing this letter you also represent that the execution and delivery of this agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof will
not require the consent of another person, constitute a default under or conflict with any agreement or other instrument to which you are bound or a party. In addition, we will need you to complete, sign and deliver a standard director
questionnaire. 
 We look forward to you joining the Board, and we anticipate your leadership and experience will make a key contribution to our success at
this critical time in our growth and development. 
  

					
	Very truly yours,	 		  	Agreed this 16th day of October, 2013

Section 3. Position, Duties and Responsibilities; Place of Performance. 

(a) During the Term of Employment, Employee shall be employed and serve as Executive Vice President & Chief Investment Officer of the

Company Group, (y) interferes with the proper and efficient performance of his duties for the Company or (z) interferes with the exercise of his judgment in the Company’s best interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein
shall preclude Employee from (i) serving, with the prior written consent of the Company, as a member of the board of directors or advisory boards (or their equivalents in the case of a non-corporate entity) of non-competing businesses and
charitable organizations, (ii) engaging in charitable activities and community affairs, and (iii) subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 9 hereof, managing his personal investments and affairs; provided,
however, that the activities set out in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) shall be limited by Employee so as not to materially interfere, individually or in the aggregate, with the performance of his duties and responsibilities hereunder.

 (c) Employee’s principal place of employment shall be at the Company’s Farmington, Connecticut office, although Employee
understands and agrees that he may be required to travel from time to time for business reasons.

 During the Term of Employment, Employee shall be entitled to the following compensation: 

(a) Base Salary. Employee shall be paid an annualized Base Salary, payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices of the

year during the Term of Employment (the “Annual Bonus”). The Annual Bonus shall be earned and payable in accordance with the terms of Holdings’ annual bonus plan as in effect from time to time.

 (c) Change in Control Acceleration. Notwithstanding any contrary terms of any Holdings
equity plan or other agreement pursuant to which equity-based awards have been granted to Employee, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, all such equity-based awards shall fully vest immediately prior to such Change in Control. 

Section 5. Employee Benefits. 

During the Term of Employment, Employee shall be entitled to participate in health, insurance, retirement and other perquisites and benefits
generally provided to other senior executives of the Company that are made available and as are in effect from time to time. Employee shall also be entitled to the same number of holidays, vacation and sick days as are generally allowed to senior
executives of the Company in accordance with the Company policy in effect from time to time. During the Term of Employment, Employee shall also be entitled to reimbursement or payment of the cost of financial and tax planning, such reimbursement not
to exceed $10,000 per year. 
 Section 6. “Key-Man” Insurance. 

At any time during the Term of Employment, the Company shall have the right to insure the life of Employee for the sole benefit of the
Company, in such amounts, and with such terms, as it may determine. All premiums payable thereon shall be the obligation of the Company. Employee shall have no interest in any such policy, but agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Company in
taking out such insurance by submitting to physical examinations, supplying all information reasonably required by the insurance company, and executing all necessary documents, provided that no financial obligation or liability is imposed on
Employee by any such documents. 
 Section 7. Reimbursement of Business Expenses. 

Employee is authorized to incur reasonable business expenses in carrying out his duties and responsibilities under this Agreement and the
Company shall promptly reimburse him for all such reasonable business expenses incurred in connection with carrying out the business of the Company, subject to documentation in accordance with the Company’s policy, as in effect from time to
time. 
 Section 8. Termination of Employment. 

(a) General. The Term of Employment shall terminate earlier than the Expiration Date upon the earliest to occur of
(i) Employee’s death, (ii) a termination by reason of a Disability, (iii) a termination by the Company with or without Cause, and (iv) a termination by Employee with or without Good Reason. Upon any termination of
Employee’s employment for any reason, except as may otherwise be requested by the Company in writing and agreed upon in writing by Employee, Employee shall resign from any and all directorships, committee memberships or any other positions
Employee holds with any member of the Company Group. 

  
 -6- 

 (b) Termination due to Death or Disability. Employee’s employment shall terminate
automatically upon his death. The Company may terminate Employee’s employment immediately upon the occurrence of a Disability, such termination to be effective upon Employee’s receipt of written notice of such termination. In the event
Employee’s employment is terminated due to his death or Disability, Employee or his estate or his beneficiaries, as the case may be, shall be entitled to: 

(i) The Accrued Obligations; 

(ii) Any unpaid Annual Bonus in respect to any completed fiscal year which has ended prior to the date of such termination,
such amount to be paid at the same time it would otherwise be paid to Employee had no such termination occurred, but in no event later than the date that is one day prior to two and one-half months following the end of the Company’s fiscal year
in which such termination occurs; 
 (iii) A pro rata Annual Bonus (determined using the target Annual Bonus if such
termination occurs during the fiscal year in which the Commencement Date falls, and using the highest Annual Bonus paid or payable for the two immediately prior fiscal years for terminations after the fiscal year in which the Commencement Date
falls) based on the number of days elapsed from the commencement of such fiscal year through and including the date of such termination, such amount to be paid within five (5) business days of such termination; and 

(iv) Vesting, as of the date of such termination, in the number of equity-based awards, if any, which would otherwise have
vested during the one (1) year period immediately following such termination (without regard to any subsequent vesting events). 
 Except as set forth
in this Section 8(b), following Employee’s termination by reason of his death or Disability, Employee shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. 

(c) Termination by the Company for Cause. 

(i) A termination for Cause shall not take effect unless the provisions of this subsection (i) are complied with. Employee
shall be given not less than fifteen (15) days prior written notice by the Company of the intention to terminate his employment for Cause, such notice to state in detail the particular act or acts or failure or failures to act that constitute
the grounds on which the proposed termination for Cause is based. Employee shall have fifteen (15) days after the date that such written notice has been given to Employee in which to cure such act or acts or failure or failures to act, to the
extent such cure is possible. If he fails to cure such act or acts or failure or failures to act, the termination shall be effective on the date immediately following the expiration of the fifteen (15) day notice period. If cure is not
possible, the termination shall be effective on the date of receipt of such notice by Employee. During any cure period provided hereunder, the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, prohibit Employee from entering the premises of any
member of the Company Group or 

  
 -7- 

 
otherwise performing his duties hereunder, and any such prohibition shall in no event constitute an event pursuant to which Employee may terminate employment with Good Reason; provided,
however, that if cure is possible, and Employee can reasonably demonstrate to the Company that he desires to enter the premises of any member of the Company Group or to otherwise perform his duties hereunder solely to attempt to cure the act
or acts or failure or failures to act that constitute the grounds on which the proposed termination for Cause is based, Employee shall be permitted to enter the premises of any member of the Company Group or otherwise to perform his duties hereunder
solely for the purposes of curing such act or acts or failure or failures to act. 
 (ii) In the event the Company terminates
Employee’s employment for Cause, he shall be entitled only to the Accrued Obligations. Following such termination of Employee’s employment for Cause, except as set forth in this Section 8(c)(ii), Employee shall have no further rights
to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. 
 (d) Termination by the Company without Cause. The Company may
terminate Employee’s employment at any time without Cause, effective upon Employee’s receipt of written notice of such termination. In the event Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (other than due to death
or Disability), Employee shall be entitled to: 
 (i) The Accrued Obligations; 

(ii) Any unpaid Annual Bonus in respect to any completed fiscal year which has ended prior to the date of such termination,
such amount to be paid at the same time it would otherwise be paid to Employee had no such termination occurred, but in no event later than the date that is one day prior to two and one-half months following the end of the Company’s fiscal year
in which such termination occurs; 
 (iii) An amount equal to the Severance Multiplier multiplied by the sum of his then
current Base Salary and Annual Bonus (determined using the target Annual Bonus if such termination occurs during the fiscal year in which the Commencement Date falls, and using the highest Annual Bonus paid or payable for the two immediately prior
fiscal years for terminations after the fiscal year in which the Commencement Date falls), payable in substantially equal monthly installments over the period commencing on the date of termination and ending on the date that is one day prior to two
and one-half months following the end of the Company’s fiscal year in which such termination occurs (the “Severance Term”); 

(iv) Continuation of participation under the Company’s health and other insurance plans for a period of years equal to the
Severance Multiplier, or if such continued participation in is not permissible, provide Employee with coverage that is economically equivalent to Employee through alternative arrangements, or the cash value of such coverage, in a manner that places
the Employee in a net economic position that is at least equivalent to the position in which the Employee would have been had such alternative arrangements not been used by the Company; provided, however, that if the cash value is paid
to Employee, it shall be paid to Employee no later than the date that is one day prior to two and one-half months following the end of the Company’s fiscal year in which such termination occurs; and 

  
 -8- 

 (v) Vesting, as of the date of such termination, in the number of equity-based
awards, if any, which would otherwise have vested during the two (2) year period immediately following such termination (without regard to any subsequent vesting events). 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payments and benefits described in subsections (ii) through (iv) above shall immediately cease, and the Company
shall have no further obligations to Employee with respect thereto, in the event that Employee breaches any provision of Section 9 hereof. 

Following such termination of Employee’s employment by the Company without Cause, except as set forth in this Section 8(d), Employee
shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. In no event shall the expiration of the Term of Employment on the Expiration Date constitute a termination without Cause hereunder. 

(e) Termination by Employee with Good Reason. Employee may terminate his employment with Good Reason by providing the Company fifteen
(15) days prior written notice setting forth in reasonable specificity the event that constitutes Good Reason, which written notice, to be effective, must be provided to the Company within ninety (90) days of the occurrence of such event.
During such fifteen (15) day notice period, the Company shall have a cure right (if curable), and if not cured within such period, Employee’s termination will be effective upon the date immediately following the expiration of the fifteen
(15) day notice period, and Employee shall be entitled to the same payments and benefits as provided in Section 8(d) above for a termination without Cause, it being agreed that Employee’s right to any such payments and benefits shall
be subject to the same terms and conditions as described in Section 8(d) above. Following such termination of Employee’s employment by Employee with Good Reason, except as set forth in this Section 8(e), Employee shall have no further
rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. 
 (f) Termination by Employee without Good Reason. Employee
may terminate his employment without Good Reason by providing the Company thirty (30) days prior written notice of such termination. In the event of a termination of employment by Employee under this Section 8(f), Employee shall be
entitled only to the Accrued Obligations. In the event of termination of Employee’s employment under this Section 8(f), the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, by written notice accelerate such date of termination and still
have it treated as a termination without Good Reason. Following such termination of Employee’s employment by Employee without Good Reason, except as set forth in this Section 8(f), and, if applicable, such additional compensation and
benefits described in Section 1(y)(iii), Employee shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. 

(g) Release. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Company may require that, prior to payment of any amount or
provision of any benefit pursuant to subsections (d) or (e) of this Section 8, Employee shall have executed a general release in 

  
 -9- 

 
favor of the Company and any other member of the Company Group and related parties in the form as is reasonably required by the Company, and any waiting periods contained in such release shall
have expired. Such release, if required by the Company, shall be delivered to Employee within twenty (20) business days following the termination of Employee’s employment hereunder, and failure to deliver such release within such twenty
(20) business day period shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of such requirement. Assuming delivery of the release by the Company, if Employee fails to execute such release on or prior to the Release Expiration Date, Employee shall not be
entitled to any payments or benefits pursuant to (d) or (e) of this Section 8 (other than the Accrued Obligations). Notwithstanding anything contained in this subsection (g) to the contrary, in any case where the date of
termination and the last day of the applicable waiting period fall in two separate taxable years, any payments required to be made to Employee that are treated as deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A of the Code shall be made in
the later taxable year at times provided by this Section 8. For purposes of this Agreement, “Release Expiration Date” means the date which is twenty-one (21) days following the date upon which the Company delivers to
Employee the release contemplated herein, or in the event that such termination of employment is “in connection with an exit incentive or other employment termination program” (as such phrase is defined in the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act of 1967), the date that is forty-five (45) days following such delivery date. 
 Section 9. Restrictive
Covenants. 
 Employee acknowledges and agrees that (A) the agreements and covenants contained in this Section 9 are
(i) reasonable and valid in geographical and temporal scope and in all other respects, and (ii) essential to protect the value of the business and assets of the Company Group; and (B) by his employment with the Company, Employee will
obtain knowledge, contacts, know-how, training and experience and there is a substantial probability that such knowledge, contacts, know-how, training and experience could be used to the substantial advantage of a competitor of the Company Group and
to the Company Group’s substantial detriment. 
 (a) Confidential Information. At any time during and after the end of the Term
of Employment, without the prior written consent of the Company, except to the extent required by an order of a court having jurisdiction or under subpoena from an appropriate government agency, in which event, Employee shall, to the extent legally
permitted, consult with the Company prior to responding to any such order or subpoena, and except as he in good faith believes necessary or desirable in the performance of his duties hereunder, Employee shall not disclose to or use for the benefit
of any third party any confidential or proprietary trade secrets, customer lists, drawings, designs, information regarding product development (including types of insurance products), marketing plans, sales plans, management organization
information, operating policies (including underwriting policies and risk assessment policies) or manuals, business plans, financial records, packaging design or other financial, commercial, business or technical information (i) relating to any
member of the Company Group, or (ii) that any member of the Company Group may receive belonging to suppliers, customers or others who do business with any member of the Company Group (including insurance brokers) as a result of his position
with any member of the Company Group (collectively, “Confidential Information”). Employee’s obligation under this Section 9(a) shall not apply to any information that is publicly available or hereafter becomes publicly
available, in each case without the breach by Employee of this Section 9(a). 

  
 -10- 

 (b) Non-Competition. Employee covenants and agrees that during the Non-Compete Period,
with respect to Bermuda (including any province thereof), any State of the United States of America or any other jurisdiction in which any member of the Company Group engages (or has committed plans to engage) in business during the Term of
Employment, or, following termination of Employee’s employment, was engaged in business (or had committed plans to engage) at the time of such termination of employment, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, individually or jointly, own
any interest in, operate, join, control or participate as a partner, director, principal, officer, or agent of, enter into the employment of, act as a consultant to, or perform any services for any Person (other than any member of the Company
Group), that engages in any Competitive Activities. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 9(b) shall not prevent Employee from acquiring as an investment securities representing not more than three percent (3%) of
the outstanding voting securities of any publicly-held corporation or from being a passive investor in any mutual fund, hedge fund, private equity fund or similar pooled account so long as Employee’s interest therein is less than three percent
(3%) and he has no role in selecting or managing investments thereof. 
 (c) Non-Interference. During the Non-Interference
Period, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, for his own account or for the account of any other Person, engage in Interfering Activities. 

(d) Return of Documents. In the event of the termination of Employee’s employment for any reason, Employee shall deliver to the
Company all of (i) the property of any member of the Company Group, and (ii) the documents and data of any nature and in whatever medium of any member of the Company Group, and he shall not take with him any such property, documents or
data or any reproduction thereof, or any documents containing or pertaining to any Confidential Information. 
 (e) Works for Hire.
Employee agrees that the Company shall own all right, title and interest throughout the world in and to any and all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, concepts, know-how, improvements or trade secrets, whether or not patentable
or registerable under copyright or similar laws, which Employee may solely or jointly conceive or develop or reduce to practice, or cause to be conceived or developed or reduced to practice during the Term of Employment, whether or not during
regular working hours, provided they either (i) relate at the time of conception or development to the actual or demonstrably proposed business or research and development activities of any member of the Company Group; (ii) result from or
relate to any work performed for any member of the Company Group; or (iii) are developed through the use of Confidential Information and/or Company resources or in consultation with personnel of any member of the Company Group (collectively
referred to as “Developments”). Employee hereby assigns all right, title and interest in and to any and all of these Developments to the Company. Employee agrees to assist the Company, at the Company’s expense (but for no other
consideration of any kind), to further evidence, record and perfect such assignments, and to perfect, obtain, maintain, enforce and defend any rights specified to be so owned or assigned. Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the
Company and its agents as attorneys-in-fact to act for and on Employee’s behalf to execute and file any document 

  
 -11- 

 
and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of the foregoing with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Employee. In addition, and not in contravention of any
of the foregoing, Employee acknowledges that all original works of authorship which are made by him (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of employment and which are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” as that
term is defined in the United States Copyright Act (17 USC Sec. 101) or any similar law or regulation. To the extent allowed by law, this includes all rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known
as or referred to as “moral rights.” To the extent Employee retains any such moral rights under applicable law, Employee hereby waives such moral rights and consents to any action consistent with the terms of this Agreement with respect to
such moral rights, in each case, to the full extent of such applicable law. Employee will confirm any such waivers and consents from time to time as requested by the Company. 

(f) Blue Pencil. If any court of competent jurisdiction shall at any time deem the duration or the geographic scope of any of the
provisions of this Section 9 unenforceable, the other provisions of this Section 9 shall nevertheless stand and the duration and/or geographic scope set forth herein shall be deemed to be the longest period and/or greatest size permissible
by law under the circumstances, and the parties hereto agree that such court shall reduce the time period and/or geographic scope to a permissible duration or size. 

Section 10. Breach of Restrictive Covenants.  

Without limiting the remedies available to the Company, Employee acknowledges that a breach of any of the covenants contained in
Section 9 hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Company Group for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of such a breach or
threat thereof, the Company shall be entitled to obtain a temporary restraining order and/or a preliminary or permanent injunction, without the posting of a bond or the necessity of proving irreparable harm or injury as a result of such breach or
threatened breach of Section 9 hereof, restraining Employee from engaging in activities prohibited by Section 9 hereof or such other relief as may be required specifically to enforce any of the covenants in Section 9 hereof.
Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the Non-Compete Period, in the case of the covenants contained in Section 9(b), and the Non-Interference Period, in the case of the covenants contained in Section 9(c), shall be tolled
during any period of violation of any of such covenants and during any other period required for litigation during which the Company seeks to enforce such covenants against Employee or another Person with whom Employee is affiliated if it is
ultimately determined that Employee was in breach of such covenants. 
 Section 11. Representations and Warranties of Employee.
 
 Employee represents and warrants to the Company that: 

(a) Employee’s employment will not conflict with or result in his breach of any agreement to which he is a party or otherwise may be
bound; 

  
 -12- 

 (b) Employee has not violated, and in connection with his employment with the Company will not
violate, any non-solicitation, non-competition or other similar covenant or agreement of a prior employer by which he is or may be bound; and 

(c) In connection with Employee’s employment with the Company, he will not use any confidential or proprietary information that he may
have obtained in connection with employment with any prior employer. 
 Section 12. Indemnification. 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Articles or Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company (in each case, as in effect from
time to time), the Company agrees to indemnify and hold Employee harmless to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the United States, as in effect at the time of the subject act or omission. In connection therewith, Employee shall be entitled
to the protection of any insurance policies which the Company elects to maintain generally for the benefit of the Company’s directors and officers, against all costs, charges and expenses whatsoever incurred or sustained by Employee in
connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which he may be made a party by reason of his being or having been a director, officer or employee of the Company. This provision shall survive any termination of Employee’s employment
hereunder. 
 Section 13. Taxes. 

The Company may withhold from any payments made under this Agreement all applicable taxes, including, but not limited to, income, employment
and social insurance taxes, as shall be required by law. 
 Section 14. No Mitigation or Set Off. 

Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for pursuant to this Agreement by seeking other employment or
otherwise and the amount of any payment provided for pursuant to this Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned as a result of Employee’s other employment or otherwise. 

Section 15. Successors and Assigns; No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  

(a) The Company. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, and may be assigned by the Company to, any
purchaser of all or substantially all of Holdings’ or the Company’s business or assets or any successor to Holdings or the Company (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise). Holdings or the Company will
require, as applicable, in a writing delivered to Employee, any such purchaser, successor or assignee to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Holdings and the Company would be required
to perform it if no such purchase, succession or assignment had taken place. The Company may make no other assignment of this Agreement or its obligations hereunder. 

  
 -13- 

 (b) Employee. Employee’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall not be
transferable by Employee by assignment or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the Company; provided, however, that if Employee shall die, all amounts then payable to Employee hereunder shall be paid in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement to Employee’s devisee, legatee or other designee or, if there be no such designee, to Employee’s estate. 

(c) No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 8(b) or Section 15(b) hereof, nothing expressed or
referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the Company and Employee any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement. 

Section 16. Delay in Payment. 

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, but taking into account Treas. Reg. 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), any payment of
nonqualified deferred compensation otherwise required to be made hereunder to Employee at any date as a result of the termination of Employee’s employment shall be delayed for such period of time as may be necessary to meet the requirements of
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code (the “Delay Period”). On the earliest date on which such payments can be made after the Delay Period, there shall be paid to the Employee, in a single cash lump sum, an amount equal to the
aggregate amount of all payments delayed pursuant to the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the first sentence applies to the provision of any ongoing health and other insurance plan benefits, Employee shall pay
the full cost for such health and other insurance plan benefits during the Delay Period and the Company shall pay Employee an amount equal to the amount of such premiums paid by Employee during the Delay Period within ten (10) days after the
end of the Delay Period. 
 Section 17. Waiver and Amendments. 

Any waiver, alteration, amendment or modification of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid only if made in writing and signed by
each of the parties hereto. No waiver by either of the parties hereto of their rights hereunder shall be deemed to constitute a waiver with respect to any subsequent occurrences or transactions hereunder unless such waiver specifically states that
it is to be construed as a continuing waiver. 
 Section 18. Severability.  

If any covenants or such other provisions of this Agreement are found to be invalid or unenforceable by a final determination of a court of
competent jurisdiction: (a) the remaining terms and provisions hereof shall be unimpaired, and (b) the invalid or unenforceable term or provision hereof shall be deemed replaced by a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that
comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision hereof. 
 Section 19. Governing
Law. 
 THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT GIVING
EFFECT TO THE CHOICE OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF) APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE. 

  
 -14- 

 Section 20. Dispute Resolution. 

Any controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach hereof (other than claims for injunctive relief pursuant to
Section 10 hereof) shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the American Arbitration Association (before a single arbitrator) and judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in
any court having jurisdiction thereof. The costs of any such arbitration proceedings shall be borne equally by the Company and Employee; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall have the right to award to either party reasonable
attorneys’ fees and costs expended in the course of such arbitration or enforcement of the awarded rendered thereunder. Any award made by such arbitrator shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties for all purposes, and judgment upon
the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. 
 Section 21. Notices.

 (a) Every notice or other communication relating to this Agreement shall be in writing, and shall be mailed to or delivered to the party
for whom it is intended at such address as may from time to time be designated by it in a notice mailed or delivered to the other party as herein provided, provided that, unless and until some other address be so designated, all notices or
communications by Employee to the Company shall be mailed or delivered to the Company at its principal executive office, with a copy sent to the General Counsel of Holdings, and all notices or communications by the Company to Employee may be given
to Employee personally or may be mailed to Employee at Employee’s last known address, as reflected in the Company’s records. 
 (b)
Any notice so addressed shall be deemed to be given: (i) if delivered by hand, on the date of such delivery; (ii) if mailed by courier or by overnight mail, on the first business day following the date of such mailing; and (iii) if
mailed by registered or certified mail, on the third business day after the date of such mailing. 
 Section 22. Section
Headings. 
 The headings of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to
constitute a part thereof, affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or of any term or provision hereof. 
 Section 23.
Entire Agreement.  
 This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties hereto regarding the
employment of Employee. This Agreement supersedes all prior negotiations, discussions, correspondence, communications, understandings and agreements between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.

 Section 24. Survival of Operative Sections.  

Upon any termination of Employee’s employment, the provisions of Section 8 through Section 26 of this Agreement (together with
any related definitions set forth in Section 1 hereof) shall survive to the extent necessary to give effect to the provisions thereof. 

Section 25. Currency. 

All sums of money expressed in this Agreement are in the lawful money of the United States of America.

constitute one and the same instrument. The execution of this Agreement may be by actual or facsimile signature.
