ZILLOW GROUP, INC.
2019 EQUITY INDUCEMENT PLAN
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
Pursuant to your Restricted Stock Unit Award Notice (the "Award Notice") and this Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (this "Award Agreement"), Zillow Group, Inc. (the "Company") has granted to you a Restricted Stock Unit Award (the "Award") under the Zillow Group, Inc. 2019 Equity Inducement Plan (the "Plan") for the number of Class C Restricted Stock Units indicated in your Award Notice.  Capitalized terms not explicitly defined in this Award Agreement or the Award Notice but defined in the Plan have the same definitions as in the Plan.
The details of the Award are as follows:
		
	1.
	Vesting

Subject to the terms of this Award Agreement, the Award will vest as set forth in the Award Notice (the "Vesting Schedule").  Restricted Stock Units that have vested and are no longer subject to forfeiture according to the Vesting Schedule are referred to herein as "Vested Units."  Restricted Stock Units that have not vested and remain subject to forfeiture under the Vesting Schedule are referred to herein as "Unvested Units."  The Unvested Units will vest (and to the extent so vested cease to be Unvested Units remaining subject to forfeiture) in accordance with the Vesting Schedule (the Unvested and Vested Units are collectively referred to herein as the "Units").  
As soon as practicable after Unvested Units become Vested Units, but not later than 60 days after vesting, the Company will settle the Vested Units by issuing to you, for each Vested Unit, one share of Class C Capital Stock.  If a vesting date falls on a weekend or any other date on which the Nasdaq Stock Market ("NASDAQ") is not open, affected Units will vest on the next following NASDAQ business day.  The Award will terminate and the Unvested Units will be subject to forfeiture upon your Termination of Service as set forth in Section 2.  
		
	2.
	Termination of Service

Upon your Termination of Service for any reason, any portion of the Award that has not vested as provided in Section 1 will immediately be forfeited to the Company without payment of any consideration to you.  You will have no further rights, and the Company will have no further obligations to you, with respect to such Unvested Units.
3.    Securities Law Compliance
3.1    You represent and warrant that you have been furnished with a copy of the Plan and the plan summary for the Plan.
3.2    You hereby agree that you will in no event sell or distribute all or any part of the shares of Class C Capital Stock that you may receive pursuant to settlement of the Units (the "Shares") unless (a) there is an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and applicable state securities laws covering any such transaction involving the Shares, or (b) the Company receives an opinion of your legal counsel (concurred in by legal counsel for the Company) stating that such transaction is exempt from registration or the Company otherwise satisfies itself that such transaction is exempt from registration.  You understand that the Company has no obligation to you to maintain any registration of the Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission and has not represented to you that it will so maintain registration of the Shares.   
3.3    You confirm that you have been advised, prior to your receipt of the Shares, that neither the offering of the Shares nor any offering materials have been reviewed by any administrator under the Securities Act or any other applicable securities act (the "Acts") and that the Shares cannot be resold unless they are registered under the Acts or unless an exemption from such registration is available.
3.4    You hereby agree to indemnify the Company and hold it harmless from and against any loss, claim or liability, including attorneys' fees or legal expenses, incurred by the Company as a result of any breach by you of, or any inaccuracy in, any representation, warranty or statement made by you in this Award Agreement or the breach by you of any terms or conditions of this Award Agreement.

		
	4.
	Transfer Restrictions

Units may not be sold, transferred, assigned, encumbered, pledged or otherwise disposed of, whether voluntarily or by operation of law.
		
	5.
	No Rights as Shareholder

You will not have any voting, dividend or any other rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Units.
		
	6.
	Independent Tax Advice

You acknowledge that determining the actual tax consequences to you of receiving or disposing of the Units and the Shares may be complicated.  These tax consequences will depend, in part, on your specific situation and may also depend on the resolution of currently uncertain tax law and other variables not within the control of the Company.  You are aware that you should consult a competent and independent tax advisor for a full understanding of the specific tax consequences to you of receiving the Units and receiving or disposing of the Shares.  Prior to executing the Award Notice, you either have consulted with a competent tax advisor independent of the Company to obtain tax advice concerning the receipt of the Units and the receipt or disposition of the Shares in light of your specific situation or you have had the opportunity to consult with such a tax advisor but chose not to do so.
7.    Book Entry Registration of Shares
The Company will issue the Shares by registering the Shares in book entry form with the Company's transfer agent in your name and any applicable restrictions will be noted in the records of the Company's transfer agent and in the book entry system.
		
	8.
	Withholding

8.1    You are ultimately responsible for all taxes owed in connection with the Award (e.g., upon vesting and/or upon receipt of the Shares), including any federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld by the Company or a Related Company in connection with the Award, including FICA or any other tax obligation (the "Tax Withholding Obligation"), regardless of any action the Company or any Related Company takes with respect to any such Tax Withholding Obligation.  The Company makes no representation or undertaking regarding the adequacy of any tax withholding made in connection with the Award.  The Company has no obligation to deliver Shares pursuant to the Award until you have satisfied the Tax Withholding Obligation.
8.2    In order to satisfy your obligations set forth in Section 8.1, you previously have or now hereby irrevocably appoint any brokerage firm acceptable to the Company for such purpose (the "Agent") as your Agent, and authorize the Agent, to: 
		
	(a)
	Sell on the open market at the then prevailing market price(s), on your behalf, as soon as practicable on or after the settlement date for any Vested Units, the minimum number of Shares (rounded up to the next whole number) sufficient to generate proceeds to cover the amount of any Tax Withholding Obligation and all applicable fees and commissions due to, or required to be collected by, the Agent; 

		
	(b)
	Remit directly to the Company the cash amount necessary to cover the payment of such Tax Withholding Obligation, as of such date;

		
	(c)
	Retain the amount required to cover all applicable brokerage fees, commissions and other costs of sale due to, or required to be collected by, the Agent, relating directly to the sale of Shares referred to in clause (a) above; and

		
	(d)
	Remit any remaining funds to you.

Any prior written agreement by you to the foregoing terms with respect to the Units is referred to as the "Tax Withholding Agreement."  As of the date of execution of the Tax Withholding Agreement or the Award Notice, as applicable, you represent and warrant that you are not aware of any material nonpublic information with respect to the Company or any securities of the Company; are not subject to any legal, regulatory or contractual restriction that would prevent the Agent from conducting sales as provided herein; do not have, and will not attempt to exercise, authority, influence or control over any sales of Shares effected pursuant to this Section 8.2; and are entering into this Section 8.2 of this Award Agreement in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b5-1 (regarding trading of the Company's securities on the basis of material nonpublic information) under the Exchange Act.  It is the intent of the parties that this Section 8.2 comply 

with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) under the Exchange Act and this Award Agreement will be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Exchange Act.
You understand that the Agent may effect sales as provided in clause (a) above jointly with sales for other employees of the Company and that the average price for executions resulting from bunched orders will be assigned to your account.  You acknowledge that neither the Company nor the Agent is under any obligation to arrange for such sales at any particular price, and that the proceeds of any such sales may not be sufficient to satisfy your Tax Withholding Obligation.  In addition, you acknowledge that it may not be possible to sell Shares as provided by this Section 8.2 due to (i) a legal or contractual restriction applicable to you or the Agent, (ii) a market disruption, or (iii) rules governing order execution priority on the NASDAQ Stock Market or other exchange where the Shares may be traded.  In the event of the Agent's inability to sell any Shares or that number of Shares sufficient to cover your Tax Withholding Obligation, you will continue to be responsible for payment to the Company of all federal, state, local and foreign taxes that are required by applicable laws and regulations to be withheld.
You acknowledge that regardless of any other term or condition of this Award Agreement, neither the Agent nor the Company will be liable to you for (a) special, indirect, punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages, or incidental losses or damages of any kind, or (b) any failure to perform or for any delay in performance that results from a cause or circumstance that is beyond the Agent's reasonable control.  
You hereby agree to execute and deliver to the Agent any other agreements or documents as the Agent or the Company reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes and intent of this Section 8.2.  The Agent is a third party beneficiary of this Section 8.2.
Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of this Section 8.2, if you are subject to "blackout periods" under the Company's Insider Trading Policy, your agreement to the terms of this Section 8.2 (whether pursuant to a Tax Withholding Agreement or execution of the Award Notice, as applicable) will not be deemed effective and you will be required to and responsible for ensuring that you agree to the terms of this Section 8.2 at a time that is outside of a "blackout period."

8.3    Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company has the right to retain without notice from Shares issuable under the Award or from salary or other amounts payable to you, a number of whole Shares or cash having a value sufficient to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation (which Shares may be withheld up to the applicable minimum required tax withholding rate or up to such other applicable rate permitted by the Company that avoids adverse treatment for financial accounting purposes).  

8.4    Furthermore, you acknowledge that the Company (a) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax Withholding Obligations or tax treatment in connection with any aspect of the Award, including but not limited to, the grant, vesting, the issuance of Shares upon vesting, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to the Award and the receipt of any dividends, and (b) does not commit to and is under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax Withholding Obligations or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if you have become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that the Company (or your employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax Withholding Obligations in more than one jurisdiction.

9.2    No Waiver.  No waiver of any provision of this Award Agreement will be valid unless in writing and signed by the person against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced, nor will failure to enforce any right hereunder constitute a continuing waiver of the same or a waiver of any other right hereunder.
9.3    Undertaking.  You hereby agree to take whatever additional action and execute whatever additional documents the Company may deem necessary or advisable in order to carry out or effect one or more of the obligations or restrictions imposed on either you or the Units pursuant to the express provisions of this Award Agreement.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Award Agreement, the Award Notice and the Plan to the contrary, the Company, to the extent it deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, reserves the right, but will not be required, to unilaterally amend or modify this Award Agreement or the Award Notice so that the Award qualifies for exemption from or complies with Section 409A of the Code; provided, however, that the Company makes no representations that the Award will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A of the Code from applying to the Award.  No provision of this Award Agreement or the Award Notice will be interpreted or construed to transfer any liability for failure to comply with Section 409A of the Code from you or any other individual to the Company.  By executing the Award Notice, you agree that you will be deemed to have waived any claim against the Company with respect to any such tax consequences.   
9.8    Counterparts.  The Award Notice may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but which, upon execution, will constitute one and the same instrument.Exhibit

(A)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement  to the contrary, if (i) any of the payments or benefits provided or to be provided by ChannelAdvisor to You or for Your benefit pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (“Covered Payments”) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code  subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor provision) or any similar tax imposed by state or local law or any interest or penalties with respect to such taxes (collectively, the “Excise Tax”), and (ii) the aggregate present value of the parachute payments reduced by the Excise Tax would be less than three (3) times Your “base amount” as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code, then the Covered Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the minimum extent necessary to ensure that no portion of the Covered Payments is subject to the Excise Tax.

	the Covered Payments which do not constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be reduced first; 

		
	(ii)
	all other Covered Payments shall then be reduced as follows: (A) cash payments shall be reduced before non-cash payments; and (B) payments to be made on a later payment date shall be reduced before payments to be made on an earlier payment date; and

		
	(iii)
	in the event that accelerated vesting of Awards is to be reduced, such acceleration will be cancelled in the reverse order of the dates on which the Awards were granted.

Exhibit 10.1

(C)You shall provide ChannelAdvisor with such information and documents as ChannelAdvisor may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 4.  

		
	5.
	     Compliance with Section 409A of the Code  

It is intended that all of the payments payable under this Agreement satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Section 409A of the Code provided under Treasury Regulation Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4) and 1.409A-1(b)(9), and this Agreement will be construed to the greatest extent possible as consistent with those provisions.  If any of the payments are not so exempt, this Agreement (and any definitions hereunder) will be construed in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code, and incorporates by reference all required definitions and payment terms.  For purposes of Section 409A of the Code (including, without limitation, for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)), Your right to receive any installment payments under this Agreement (whether severance payments, expense reimbursements or otherwise) will be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each installment payment under this Agreement will at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, if You are deemed by ChannelAdvisor at the time of Your Separation from Service to be a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, and if any of the payments, including the severance benefits provided under this Agreement, upon Separation From Service set forth herein and/or under any other agreement with ChannelAdvisor are deemed to be “deferred compensation,” then to the extent delayed commencement of any portion of such payments is required to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and the related adverse taxation under Section 409A of the Code, such payments will not be provided to You prior to the earliest of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of Your Separation From Service with ChannelAdvisor, (ii) the date of Your death or (iii) such earlier date as permitted under Section 409A of the Code without the imposition of adverse taxation.  Upon the first business day following the expiration of such applicable Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) period, all payments deferred pursuant to this Paragraph will be paid in a lump sum to You, and any remaining payments due will be paid as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in the applicable agreement.  No interest will be due on any amounts so deferred.
6.General
ChannelAdvisor shall take any required corporate actions needed as of the Termination Date to insure the acceleration of the Awards and extension of the exercise period as described in this Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to termination of Your employment with ChannelAdvisor except for that certain ChannelAdvisor Corporation Special Terms and Conditions of Employment between You and ChannelAdvisor dated September 23, 2013, as may be amended from time to time.  If there is a conflict between the terms of this and any other agreement between You and ChannelAdvisor, this Agreement shall control.  Any amendments to this Agreement and any material changes to Attachment 1 hereto must be in writing and executed by both parties.  

6

Exhibit 10.1

This Agreement may be entered into by each party in separate counterparts and shall constitute one fully executed Agreement upon execution by both You and ChannelAdvisor.  This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to conflict of laws principles.  If the parties enter into legal proceedings in dispute of any of the terms of this Agreement, the losing party shall pay all reasonable legal fees of the prevailing party.  This Agreement is binding upon ChannelAdvisor’s successors (whether by merger, sale of stock, or sale of all or substantially all its assets) and assigns.
