 Exhibit 10.32 
 INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 
 THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT is made and entered into this
     day of             , 200   (“Agreement”), by and between Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the
“Company”), and                      (“Indemnitee”). 
 WHEREAS, at the request of the Company, Indemnitee currently serves as a [director] [officer] of the Company and may, therefore, be subjected to
claims, suits or proceedings arising as a result of his service; and 
 WHEREAS, as an inducement to Indemnitee to continue to serve as such
[director] [officer], the Company has agreed to indemnify and to advance expenses and costs incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any such claims, suits or proceedings, to the maximum extent permitted by law; and 
 WHEREAS, the parties by this Agreement desire to set forth their agreement regarding indemnification and advance of expenses; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

 Section 1. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement: 
 (a) “Change in Control” means a change in control of the Company occurring after the Effective Date of a nature that would be required to be
reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A (or in response to any similar item on any similar schedule or form) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), whether or not the
Company is then subject to such reporting requirement; provided, however, that, without limitation, such a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred if after the Effective Date (i) any “person” (as such term is used in
Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Act) is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of all of the
then outstanding shares of the Company’s securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors without the prior approval of at least two-thirds of the members of the Board of Directors in office immediately prior to such person
attaining such percentage interest; (ii) there occurs a proxy contest, or the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation, sale of assets, plan of liquidation or other reorganization not approved by at least two-thirds of the members of the
Board of Directors then in office, as a consequence of which members of the Board of Directors in office immediately prior to such transaction or event constitute less than a majority of the Board of Directors thereafter; or (iii) during any
period of two consecutive years, other than as a result of an event described in clause (a)(ii) of this Section 1, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the Board of Directors (including for this purpose any new director
whose election or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of such period) cease for any reason to constitute
at least a majority of the Board of Directors. 

 (b) “Corporate Status” means the status of a person who is or was a director, trustee, officer,
employee or agent of the Company or of any other foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise for which such person is or was serving at the request of the Company. 
 (c) “Disinterested Director” means a director of the Company who is not and was not a party to the Proceeding in respect of which
indemnification and/or advance of Expenses is sought by Indemnitee. 
 (d) “Effective Date” means the date set forth in the first
paragraph of this Agreement. 
 (e) “Expenses” shall include all reasonable and out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, retainers,
court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, and all other disbursements or expenses of the types customarily
incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating, or being or preparing to be a witness in a Proceeding. 
 (f) “Independent Counsel” means a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that is experienced in matters of corporation law and neither is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent:
(i) the Company or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party, or (ii) any other party to or witness in the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term
“Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine
Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. If a Change of Control has not occurred, Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board of Directors, with the approval of Indemnitee, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. If a Change
of Control has occurred, Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee, with the approval of the Board of Directors, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. 
 (g) “Proceeding” includes any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism,
investigation, administrative hearing or any other proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including on appeal), except one pending or completed on or before the Effective Date, unless otherwise specifically agreed in
writing by the Company and Indemnitee. 
 Section 2. Services by Indemnitee. Indemnitee will serve as a [director]
[officer] of the Company. However, this Agreement shall not impose any obligation on Indemnitee or the Company to continue Indemnitee’s service to the Company beyond any period otherwise required by law or by other agreements or commitments
of the parties, if any. 
 Section 3. General. The Company shall indemnify, and advance Expenses to, Indemnitee (a) as
provided in this Agreement and (b) otherwise to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law in effect on the date hereof and as amended from time to time; provided, however, that no change in Maryland law shall have the effect of reducing the
benefits available 

  

 -2- 

 
to Indemnitee hereunder based on Maryland law as in effect on the date hereof. The rights of Indemnitee provided in this Section 3 shall include,
without limitation, the rights set forth in the other sections of this Agreement, including any additional indemnification permitted by Section 2-418(g) of the Maryland General Corporation Law (“MGCL”). 
 Section 4. Standard for Indemnification. If by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be, made a
party to any threatened, pending, or completed Proceeding, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection
with a Proceeding by reason of his Corporate Status unless it is established that (i) the act or omission of Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the Proceeding and (a) was committed in bad faith or (b) was the result
of active and deliberate dishonesty, (ii) Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services, or (iii) in the case of any criminal Proceeding, Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his
conduct was unlawful. 
 Section 5. Certain Limits on Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement
(other than Section 6), Indemnitee may not be indemnified: 
 (a) if the proceeding was one by or in the right of the Company and the
Indemnitee is adjudged to be liable to the Company; or 
 (b) if the Indemnitee is adjudged to be liable on the basis that personal benefit
was improperly received in any Proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the Indemnitee, whether or not involving action in the Indemnitee’s official capacity. 
 Section 6. Court-Ordered Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, a court of appropriate jurisdiction, upon
application of Indemnitee and such notice as the court shall require, may order indemnification in the following circumstances: 
 (a) if it
determines Indemnitee is entitled to reimbursement under Section 2-418(d)(1) of the MGCL, the court shall order indemnification, in which case Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover the expenses of securing such reimbursement; or 

(b) if it determines that Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not
Indemnitee (i) has met the standards of conduct set forth in Section 2-418(b) of the MGCL or (ii) has been adjudged liable for receipt of an improper personal benefit under Section 2-418(c) of the MGCL, the court may order such
indemnification as the court shall deem proper. However, indemnification with respect to any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company or in which liability shall have been adjudged in the circumstances described in Section 2-418(c) of the
MGCL shall be limited to Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with a Proceeding. 
 Section 7. Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and without limiting any such provision, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason
of his Corporate Status, made a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any Proceeding, he shall be 

  

 -3- 

 
indemnified for all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such
Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee under this Section 7 for all Expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with each claim, issue or matter in which the Indemnitee is successful, allocated on a reasonable and proportionate basis. For purposes of this Section and without limitation, the termination of any
claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter. 
 Section 8. Advance of Expenses. The Company shall, without requiring a preliminary determination of Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification hereunder, advance all reasonable Expenses
incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be, made a party or a witness, within ten days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from Indemnitee
requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall include or be preceded or
accompanied by a written affirmation by Indemnitee of Indemnitee’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company as authorized by law and by this Agreement has been met and a written undertaking by
or on behalf of Indemnitee, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or in such form as may be required under applicable law as in effect at the time of the execution thereof, to reimburse the portion of any Expenses advanced to
Indemnitee relating to claims, issues or matters in the Proceeding as to which it shall ultimately be established that the standard of conduct has not been met and which have not been successfully resolved as described in Section 7. To the
extent that Expenses advanced to Indemnitee do not relate to a specific claim, issue or matter in the Proceeding, such Expenses shall be allocated on a reasonable and proportionate basis. The undertaking required by this Section 8 shall be an
unlimited general obligation by or on behalf of Indemnitee and shall be accepted without reference to Indemnitee’s financial ability to repay such advanced Expenses and without any requirement to post security therefor. 
 Section 9. Procedure for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification. 
 (a) To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including therein or therewith such
documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a
request for indemnification, advise the Board of Directors in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification. 
 (b) Upon written
request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of Section 9(a) hereof, a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall promptly be made in the specific case:
(i) if a Change in Control shall have occurred, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee; or (ii) if a Change of Control shall not have occurred, (A) by
the Board of Directors (or a duly authorized committee thereof) by a 

  

 -4- 

 
majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors (as herein defined), or (B) if a quorum of the Board of Directors consisting of
Disinterested Directors is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, such quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee, or
(C) if so directed by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors, by the stockholders of the Company. If it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ten days after such
determination. Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance
request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination in the discretion of the Board of Directors or
Independent Counsel if retained pursuant to clause (ii)(B) of this Section 9. Any Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the
determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company shall indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom. 
 Section 10. Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings. 
 (a) In making a determination with respect to entitlement
to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with
Section 9(a) of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making of any determination contrary to that presumption. 
 (b) The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry
of an order of probation prior to judgment, does not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct described herein for indemnification. 
 Section 11. Remedies of Indemnitee. 
 (a) If (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advance of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 8 of
this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 9(b) of this Agreement within 90 days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of
indemnification is not made pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement within ten days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, or (v) payment of indemnification is not made within ten days after a determination has been
made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication in an appropriate court located in the State of Maryland, or in any other court of competent jurisdiction, of his entitlement to such
indemnification or advance of Expenses. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at his option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.
Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding 

  

 -5- 

 
seeking an adjudication or an award in arbitration within 180 days following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding
pursuant to this Section 11(a); provided, however, that the foregoing clause shall not apply to a proceeding brought by Indemnitee to enforce his rights under Section 7 of this Agreement. 
 (b) In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 11, the Company shall have the burden of proving that Indemnitee is
not entitled to indemnification or advance of Expenses, as the case may be. 
 (c) If a determination shall have been made pursuant to
Section 9(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 11, absent a misstatement by
Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification. 
 (d) In the event that Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 11, seeks a judicial adjudication of or an award in arbitration to enforce his rights
under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the Company, and shall be indemnified by the Company for, any and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him in such judicial
adjudication or arbitration. If it shall be determined in such judicial adjudication or arbitration that Indemnitee is entitled to receive part but not all of the indemnification or advance of Expenses sought, the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in
connection with such judicial adjudication or arbitration shall be appropriately prorated. 
 Section 12. Defense of the Underlying
Proceeding. 
 (a) Indemnitee shall notify the Company promptly upon being served with or receiving any summons, citation, subpoena,
complaint, indictment, information, notice, request or other document relating to any Proceeding which may result in the right to indemnification or the advance of Expenses hereunder; provided, however, that the failure to give any such notice shall
not disqualify Indemnitee from the right, or otherwise affect in any manner any right of Indemnitee, to indemnification or the advance of Expenses under this Agreement unless the Company’s ability to defend in such Proceeding or to obtain
proceeds under any insurance policy is materially and adversely prejudiced thereby, and then only to the extent the Company is thereby actually so prejudiced. 
 (b) Subject to the provisions of the last sentence of this Section 12(b) and of Section 12(c) below, the Company shall have the right to defend Indemnitee in any Proceeding which may give rise to
indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that the Company shall notify Indemnitee of any such decision to defend within 15 calendar days following receipt of notice of any such Proceeding under Section 12(a) above. The Company shall not,
without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, consent to the entry of any judgment against Indemnitee or enter into any settlement or compromise which (i) includes an admission of fault of
Indemnitee or (ii) does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the full release of Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such Proceeding, which release shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee. This
Section 12(b) shall not apply to a Proceeding brought by Indemnitee under Section 11 above or Section 19 below. 
  

 -6- 

 (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12(b) above, if in a Proceeding to which Indemnitee
is a party by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, (i) Indemnitee reasonably concludes, based upon an opinion of counsel approved by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, that he may have separate defenses or
counterclaims to assert with respect to any issue which may not be consistent with other defendants in such Proceeding, (ii) Indemnitee reasonably concludes, based upon an opinion of counsel approved by the Company, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, that an actual or apparent conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest exists between Indemnitee and the Company, or (iii) if the Company fails to assume the defense of such Proceeding in a timely manner,
Indemnitee shall be entitled to be represented by separate legal counsel of Indemnitee’s choice, subject to the prior approval of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, at the expense of the Company. In addition, if the Company
fails to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement or in the event that the Company or any other person takes any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any Proceeding to deny or to recover from
Indemnitee the benefits intended to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder, Indemnitee shall have the right to retain counsel of Indemnitee’s choice, subject to the prior approval of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, at the
expense of the Company (subject to Section 11(d)), to represent Indemnitee in connection with any such matter. 
 Section 13.
Non-Exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Subrogation. 
 (a) The rights of indemnification and advance of Expenses as provided by this
Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Charter or Bylaws of the Company, any agreement or a resolution of the stockholders entitled to vote generally in
the election of directors or of the Board of Directors, or otherwise. Unless consented to in writing by the Indemnitee, no amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee
under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal, regardless of whether a claim with respect to such action or inaction is raised prior or
subsequent to such amendment, alteration or repeal. 
 (b) In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated
to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to
bring suit to enforce such rights. 
 Section 14. Insurance. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to acquire
directors and officers liability insurance, on terms and conditions deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors, with the advice of counsel, covering Indemnitee or any claim made against Indemnitee for service in his Corporate Status and covering
the Company for any indemnification or advance of Expenses made by the Company to Indemnitee for any claims 

  

 -7- 

 
made against Indemnitee for service in his Corporate Status. Without in any way limiting any other obligation under this Agreement, the Company shall
indemnify Indemnitee for any payment by Indemnitee arising out of the amount of any deductible or retention and the amount of any excess of the aggregate of all judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in
connection with a Proceeding over the coverage of any insurance referred to in the previous sentence. 
 Section 15. Coordination of
Payments. The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable or payable or reimbursable as Expenses hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such
payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise. 
 Section 16. Indemnification for Expenses of a Witness.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is or may be, by reason of his Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding, whether instituted by the Company or any other party, and to which Indemnitee is not a
party but in which the Indemnitee receives a subpoena to testify, he shall be advanced all reasonable Expenses and indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith. 
 Section 17. Duration of Agreement; Binding Effect. 
 (a) The indemnification and advance of Expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Agreement shall be binding upon and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (including
any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company), shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, trustee, officer, employee or
agent of the Company or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which such person is or was serving at the written request of the Company, and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee
and his spouse, assigns, heirs, devisees, executors and administrators and other legal representatives. 
 (b) The Company shall require and
cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially all or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory
to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. 
 Section 18. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any
reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each
portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby.

  

 -8- 

 Section 19. Exception to Right of Indemnification or Advance of Expenses. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification or advance of Expenses under this Agreement with respect to any Proceeding brought by Indemnitee, unless (a) the Proceeding is brought to enforce
indemnification under this Agreement, and then only to the extent in accordance with and as authorized by Section 11 of this Agreement, or (b) the Company’s Bylaws, as amended, the Charter, a resolution of the stockholders entitled to
vote generally in the election of directors or of the Board of Directors or an agreement approved by the Board of Directors to which the Company is a party expressly provide otherwise. 
 Section 20. Identical Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be
deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. One such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforceability is sought shall be sufficient to evidence the existence of this Agreement.

 Section 21. Headings. The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be
deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof. 
 Section 22. Modification and Waiver. No
supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other
provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver. 
 Section 23. Notices. All
notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if (i) delivered by hand and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been

 In consideration of the advance of Expenses by the Company for reasonable attorneys’ fees and related expenses incurred by me in connection with the

in bad faith or (b) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty or (2) I actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (3) in the case of any criminal proceeding, I had reasonable cause to
believe that the act or omission was unlawful, then I shall promptly reimburse the portion of the Advanced Expenses relating to the claims, issues or matters in the Proceeding as to which the foregoing findings have been established. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have executed this Affirmation and Undertaking on this      day of

 Exhibit 10.1 
 EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 This Executive Employment Agreement (the
“Agreement”) is made effective as of August 12, 2008 (the “Effective Date”), by and between IdentiPHI, Inc. (“Company”) and Christer Bergman (“Employee”). 
 The parties agree as follows: 
 1.
Employment. Company shall employ Employee effective as of the Effective Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement. 
 2. Duties. 
 2.1 Position. Employee is employed as Company’s Chief

 2.2 Best Efforts; Full-time. Employee shall faithfully and diligently perform all duties assigned to him. Employee will expend his
best efforts on behalf of Company and will abide by all policies and decisions made by Company, as well as all applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations or ordinances. Employee will act in the best interest of Company at all times.
Employee shall devote his full business time and efforts to the performance of his assigned duties for Company, unless Employee notifies Company in advance of his intent to engage in other paid work and receives Company’s express written

salary of three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) per year, payable in accordance with Company’s normal payroll practices, less required deductions for state and federal withholding tax, social security and all other employment taxes and
payroll deductions. 
 4.2 Annual Bonus. Employee shall be eligible to receive annual corporate performance bonuses in
accordance with Company’s management incentive plan. For the first and second year of this Agreement, Employee’s annual corporate performance bonus must entitle Employee to the opportunity to 

  

 1 

 
receive at least 50% of Employee’s base salary under Company’s management incentive plan. Each annual corporate performance bonus shall be payable
(i) upon the achievement of specific performance goals, as determined by the Board with consultation from Employee at the beginning of the respective year, or (ii) in accordance with Company’s management incentive plan. The terms of
any management incentive plan must be approved by the Board. 
 4.3 Signing Bonus. Upon execution of this Agreement,
Company shall pay Employee a signing bonus of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000). Company shall be entitled to decrease any annual corporate performance bonus earned under Section 4.2 by the amount of the signing bonus paid pursuant to this
Section 4.3. 
 4.4 Performance and Salary Review. Company may periodically review Employee’s performance.
Adjustments to salary or other compensation, if any, will be made by Company in its sole and absolute discretion. 
 4.5
Employment Taxes. All of Employee’s compensation shall be subject to customary withholding taxes and any other employment taxes as are commonly required to be collected or withheld by Company. 
 5. Benefits. 
 5.1 Benefits Package. Employee shall be entitled to an appropriate employee benefits package, including medical, dental, and other applicable benefits, that it is no less favorable to Employee than the benefits package provided to
current employees of Company as of the Effective Date of this Agreement. Employee’s paid time-off (PTO) accrual rate shall be calculated in accordance with Company PTO policy. 
 5.2 Fringe Benefits. Employee will be eligible for all customary and usual fringe benefits generally available to senior executives
of Company, subject to the terms and conditions of Company’s benefit plan documents. Except as provided in Section 5.1, Company reserves the right to change or eliminate the fringe benefits on a prospective basis, at any time, effective
upon notice to Employee. 
 6. Expenses. Employee will be reimbursed for all reasonable, out-of-pocket business expenses
incurred in the performance of his duties on behalf of Company, including such housing and transportation costs Employee may incur in connection with all travel on behalf of Company. To obtain reimbursement, expenses must be submitted promptly, with
appropriate supporting documentation, in accordance with Company’s policies. In the case where air travel is required that has a duration of six (6) hours or more each way, business class airfare shall be deemed a reasonable business
expense for reimbursement to Employee. 
 7. Termination. 
 7.1 Voluntary Termination. Employee may voluntarily resign his employment with Company as set forth in this Section. Employee
agrees to provide thirty (30) days’ written notice if Employee voluntarily terminates his employment with Company, provided that Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive all or any part of such notice period. In the event
Employee’s employment is terminated in accordance with this Section 7.1, Employee shall be entitled to receive only unpaid base salary at the rate then in effect, any bonus then earned and payable, if applicable, and accrued and unused
paid time off, each prorated to the date of termination, and Company shall have no further or other obligations to Employee pursuant to this Agreement.

 7.2 Termination for Cause by Company. Company may terminate Employee’s
employment immediately at any time for Cause, with or without advanced notice. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” is defined as a good faith determination of the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, of any of the
following: (a) acts or omissions constituting gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct on the part of Employee; (b) Employee’s material breach of this Agreement or the confidentiality and inventions assignment agreement
between Company and Employee (the “Confidentiality Agreement”); (c) Employee’s conviction or entry of a plea of nolo contendere for fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement, or any felony or crime of moral turpitude;
(d) Employee’s willful or habitual neglect of duties; (e) Employee’s failure to perform the essential functions of his position, with or without reasonable accommodation, due to a mental or physical disability for at least ninety
(90) days; or (f) Employee’s death. In the event Employee’s employment is terminated in accordance with this Section 7.2, Employee shall be entitled to receive only unpaid base salary at the rate then in effect, any bonus
then earned and payable, if applicable, and accrued and unused paid time off, each prorated to the date of termination, and Company shall have no further or other obligations to Employee pursuant to this Agreement. 
 7.3 Termination Without Cause Prior to a Change in Control. In the event that, prior to a Change in Control (as defined in
Company’s 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”)), Employee is terminated other than for Cause, Employee will receive Employee’s base salary then in effect and accrued, any bonus then earned and payable, if
applicable, and unused paid time off, each prorated to the date of termination, and, subject to the penultimate sentence of this Section 7.3: (a) the aggregate amount of Employee’s annual base salary, and annual corporate performance
bonus earned during the previous twelve (12) months, payable on a pro rated basis in accordance with Company’s regular payroll cycle for a period of twelve (12) months; (b) full acceleration of all of the then-unvested shares
subject to equity incentive awards held by Employee; and (c) should Employee timely elect COBRA insurance continuation coverage, reimbursement at a rate equal to the amount contributed by Company for Employee’s insurance coverage premium
effective as of the date of termination or resignation for twelve (12) months following termination or resignation. Employee’s receipt of the severance, vesting and COBRA benefits set forth in this Section 7.3 are subject to Employee:
(X) complying with all surviving provisions of this Agreement as specified in Section 12.7 below; and (Y) executing at the time of Employee’s termination of employment and within the same taxable year or, if later, before the
expiration of any applicable statutory revocation period, a full general release in a form acceptable to Company, releasing all claims, known or unknown, that Employee may have against Company or its officers, directors, employees or agents arising
out of or any way related to Employee’s employment, termination or resignation of employment with Company. For avoidance of doubt, Employee’s voluntary termination of employment or Employee’s termination for Cause will not give rise
to any rights under this Section 7.3. 
 7.4 Termination Without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason Following a
Change in Control. In the event that, in connection with or within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, Employee is terminated other than for Cause or Employee resigns as a result of any of the following, without
Employee’s written consent: (i) a material adverse change both in Employee’s duties and title, as measured against Employee’s title and duties immediately prior to such change; or (ii) any reduction by Company in amount
greater than 10% in Employee’s base salary as in effect immediately prior to such reduction, other than a reduction applied generally to executive officers of Company (each, a “Good Reason”), Employee will receive
Employee’s base salary then in effect, any bonus then earned and payable, if applicable, and accrued and unused paid time off, each prorated to the date of termination or resignation, and, subject to the penultimate sentence of this
Section 7.4: (a) the aggregate amount of Employee’s annual base salary, and annual corporate performance bonus earned during the previous twelve (12) months, payable on a pro rated basis in accordance with Company’s regular
payroll cycle for 

  

 3 

 
a period of twelve (12) months; (b) full acceleration of all of the then-unvested shares subject to equity incentive awards held by Employee; and
(c) should Employee timely elect COBRA insurance continuation coverage, reimbursement at a rate equal to the amount contributed by Company for Employee’s insurance coverage premium effective as of the date of termination or resignation for
twelve (12) months following termination or resignation. Employee’s receipt of the severance, vesting and COBRA benefits set forth in this Section 7.4 are subject to employee: (X) complying with all surviving provisions of this
Agreement as specified in Section 12.7 below; and (Y) executing at the time of Employee’s termination of employment and within the same taxable year or, if later, before the expiration of any applicable statutory revocation period, a
full general release in a form acceptable to Company, releasing all claims, known or unknown, that Employee may have against Company or its officers, directors, employees or agents arising out of or any way related to Employee’s employment,
termination or resignation of employment with Company. For avoidance of doubt, Employee’s voluntary termination of employment other than for Good Reason or Employee’s termination for Cause will not give rise to any rights under this
Section 7.4. 
 7.5 280G and 409A. If, due to the benefits provided under this Section 7, or otherwise due or
payable from Company, Employee may be subject to any excise tax due to characterization of any amounts payable under this Section 7 as excess parachute payments pursuant to Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”), or the amounts may be nondeductible by Company under Section 280G of the Code, the gross amount payable in cash or benefits to be provided under this Section 7, or otherwise due or payable from the Company, will
be reduced (to the least extent possible) in order to avoid any “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code, as determined by Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if Employee is a
“specified employee” as described in Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”), as determined by Company in accordance with its procedures, by which determination Employee is bound, any amount to which Employee would
otherwise be entitled during the first six months following Employee’s separation from service that constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A and that is therefore not exempt from Section 409A
as involuntary separation pay or a short-term deferral, as determined by Company, will be accumulated and paid without interest on the first business day of the seventh month following the date of Employee’s separation from service. For
purposes of this Agreement, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A. The provisions of this Agreement will be interpreted and construed in favor of its
meeting any applicable requirements of Section 409A. Company, in its reasonable discretion, may amend (including retroactively) the Agreement to conform with Section 409A, including amending to facilitate the ability of Employee to avoid
the imposition of interest and additional tax under Section 409A. The preceding provisions shall not be construed as a guarantee by Company of any particular tax effect for any income to Employee provided pursuant to the Agreement. 

8. No Conflict of Interest. During the Term of Employee’s employment with Company and during any period Employee is receiving
payments from Company, Employee must not engage in any work, paid or unpaid, that creates an actual or potential conflict of interest with Company, as may be determined by Company in its sole and absolute discretion. If Company believes such a
conflict exists during the Term of this Agreement, Company may ask Employee to choose to discontinue the other work or resign employment with Company. If Company believes such a conflict exists during any period in which Employee is receiving
payments pursuant to this Agreement, Company may ask Employee to choose to discontinue the other work or forfeit the remaining severance and other payments under this Agreement. In addition, Employee agrees not to refer any client or potential
client of Company to competitors of Company, without obtaining Company’s prior written consent, during the Term of Employee’s employment and during any period in which Employee is receiving payments from Company pursuant to this Agreement.

 9. Non-Solicitation; Non-Hire. 
 9.1 Non-Solicitation of Customers or Prospects. Employee acknowledges that information about Company’s customers is
confidential and constitutes trade secrets. Accordingly, Employee agrees that during the Term of this Agreement and for a period of one (1) year after the termination of this Agreement, Employee will not, either directly or indirectly,
separately or in association with others, interfere with, impair, disrupt or damage Company’s relationship with any of its customers or customer prospects by soliciting or encouraging others to solicit any of them for the purpose of diverting

their employment with Company. 
 10. Mutual Non-Disparagement. Employee will not, during the Term of this Agreement or after
the termination hereof, disparage Company, its products, services, agents or employees. Company will not, during the Term of this Agreement or after the termination hereof, disparage Employee. 
 11. Injunctive Relief. Employee acknowledges that Employee’s breach of the covenants contained in Sections 2.3 and 8 through 10
(collectively “Covenants”) would cause irreparable injury to Company and agrees that in the event of any such breach, Company shall be entitled to seek temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of
proving actual damages or posting any bond or other security. 
 12. Acceleration of Equity Awards Upon Going Private
Transaction. In the event that, prior to termination of Employee’s employment with Company for any reason, a person or group of persons beneficially holding in excess of fifty percent (50%) of Company’s outstanding common
stock undertakes a corporate transaction in order to acquire, either immediately or on a deferred basis, the entire equity interest in Company (a “Going Private Transaction”), then Employee will receive full acceleration of all of
the then-unvested shares subject to equity incentive awards held by Employee, conditioned upon and subject to consummation of such Going Private Transaction. 
 13. General Provisions.

jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to allow enforceability of the provision as so limited, it being intended that the parties shall 

  

 5 

 
receive the benefit contemplated herein to the fullest extent permitted by law. If a deemed modification is not satisfactory in the judgment of such
arbitrator or court, the unenforceable provision shall be deemed deleted, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby. 
 13.5 Interpretation; Construction. The headings set forth in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be used in
interpreting this Agreement. Employee acknowledges that Employee has had an opportunity to review and revise the Agreement and have it reviewed by legal counsel, if desired, and, therefore, any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are
to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement.

Law. The parties agree that this Agreement, and any disputes arising under this Agreement, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principle to the
contrary. The parties agree that venue for any dispute arising under this Agreement will lie exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Travis County, Texas, and the parties irrevocably waive any right to raise forum non conveniens
