Closing as a result of a material increase in volume of the Business or a material change in the manner in which the Business is being conducted, Hippo shall inform the Company in writing of such necessity before any such increase, acquisition, investment or capital expenditure is made. Upon mutual agreement of Hippo and the Company acting in good faith as to the necessity of any such increase, acquisition, investment or capital expenditure, the Company shall reimburse Hippo an amount equal to the actual costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. If such mutual agreement is not reached, Hippo’s obligation to provide or cause to be provided such Transition Service shall be limited to the level of such Transition Service then in effect.

(c) Prior to a Change of Control, the Company shall pay to Hippo for each Line Item of Service the applicable fees set forth on Schedule A . Following a Change of Control, the Company shall pay to Hippo for each Line Item of Service the applicable fees set forth on Schedule B . Compensation for Transition Services shall be computed solely as set forth in Schedule A or Schedule B , as applicable, and shall not take into account the value of any referral for the provision of health care services that Hippo or the Company may otherwise generate between each other. Hippo shall deliver a statement to the Company each month for Transition Services provided to the Company during the preceding month, and such statement shall set forth a brief description of such Transition Services and the amounts charged therefor. Any payments by the Company payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in U.S. Dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Hippo no later than 30 days following the Company’s receipt of the applicable statement, without set-off, defense or counterclaim. Hippo reserves the right to suspend performance under this Agreement upon failure of the Company to make any payment pursuant to this Agreement in the time period required by the immediately preceding sentence.

(d) Hippo shall cause the Transition Services to be provided with the same level of care used by Hippo or its Affiliates in the conduct of Hippo’s or its Affiliates’ businesses. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, HIPPO MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO THE TRANSITION SERVICES PERFORMED OR PROVIDED TO THE COMPANY HEREUNDER, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY, BY OPERATION OF LAW OR OTHERWISE, AND HIPPO EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND SUITABILITY OF THE TRANSITION SERVICES. The Company acknowledges that certain Line Item(s) of Service may be provided by third-party providers with whom Hippo or an Affiliate of Hippo has contracted for such Line Item(s) of Service (each, a “ Third Party Provider ”); provided that Hippo shall not contract a Third Party Provider for the provision of any material portion of any Line Item of Service without the Company’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (for the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that it would not be unreasonable for the Company to withhold its consent to Hippo’s contracting a Third Party Provider if such Third Party Provider does not agree to provide the Company with the same level of service, representations and warranties or indemnification as provided by Hippo to the Company hereunder). Hippo makes no representation or warranty of any kind with respect to any Line Item of Service provided by a Third Party Provider.

(e) Subject to the Company’s continuing obligation to make payments then owing pursuant to this Agreement, the Company may terminate the Term as to any or all Transition

Services upon 60 days’ prior written notice to Hippo. If Hippo shall cease to provide a particular Line Item of Service for itself or the particular Line Item of Service is provided by a Third Party Provider and Hippo’s contract with such Third Party Provider has expired or terminated, Hippo may cease to provide such Line Item of Service to the Company, effective as of the later of (x) the time that Hippo ceases to provide such Line Item of Service for itself or the date on which Hippo’s contract with such Third Party Provider expires or terminates and (y) following 60 days’ notice to the Company. This Agreement may be immediately terminated by Hippo in its sole discretion with respect to a Subsidiary of the Company to which Transition Services are provided pursuant to this Agreement upon the sale by the Company of all or substantially all of the capital stock of the Subsidiary or a merger with a third party of such Subsidiary.

(f) The Company acknowledges that the demand for Transition Services may exceed Hippo’s available capacity to provide such Transition Services to the Company, making it necessary for Hippo to prioritize among the requests for Transition Services made by the Company to Hippo or take other steps to manage efficiently the provision of such Transition Services to the Company.

(g) The Transition Services will be provided by Hippo in accordance with Hippo’s policies and procedures in effect as of the date of the Master Transaction Agreement. The Company shall conform to the requirements of such policies or procedures.

(h) Hippo shall be reimbursed by the Company for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the provision of Transition Services under this Agreement.

SECTION 2.02. Confidential Information . (a) Any information of either party to this Agreement provided to or accessible by the other party in connection herewith, regardless of form, including all data, processes, technical drawings, designs and concepts; software programs, routines, formulae and concepts, production plans, designs, layouts and schedules; marketing analyses, plans, customer data and surveys; and all matters relating to either party’s finances and personnel and any other information (“ Confidential Information ”) shall be received and held in strict confidence, used only for purposes related to this Agreement or as provided in the other Transaction Agreements and shall not otherwise be disclosed by the other party, its agents, employees, contractors or subcontractors, without the prior written consent of the disclosing party. “Confidential Information” as defined herein does not include any information (i) lawfully received by the receiving party on a non-confidential basis from another source which is not known by the receiving party to be bound by an obligation of confidentiality or otherwise restricted from transmitting the information by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation, (ii) that is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Section 2.02(a), (iii) known to the receiving party at the time of disclosure free from any confidentiality obligations, provided that the source of such information is not known by the receiving party to be bound by an obligation of confidentiality or otherwise restricted from transmitting the information by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation or (iv) independently developed by the receiving party without the use of or reference to Confidential Information. Each party shall be fully responsible for breaches of its obligations under this Section 2.02 by its agents, employees, contractors or subcontractors. Upon expiration or any termination of this Agreement, Hippo and the Company shall return, or at the receiving party’s option destroy, all documentation in any medium that contains or refers to the disclosing party’s

Confidential Information, and retain no copies, other than one archival copy for evidentiary purposes. Any destruction of Confidential Information in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be certified in writing by an authorized officer of the receiving party at the request of the disclosing party.

(b) The Confidential Information of the disclosing party is, and shall remain, the property of the disclosing party.

SECTION 2.03. Access . (a) The Company agrees that it shall, without charge, provide Hippo (or any Affiliate of Hippo or Third Party Provider) with such access to the Company’s premises and/or personnel, and such assistance, as may reasonably be required for Hippo (or such Affiliate of Hippo or such Third Party Provider) to perform its obligations under this Agreement. If either party has access (either on-site or remotely) to any of the other party’s computer systems in relation to the Transition Services, such party shall limit such access solely to the use of such systems for purposes of the Transition Services and shall not access or attempt to access any of such other party’s computer systems, files, software or services other than those required for the Transition Services, or those that are publicly available. Each party shall limit such access to those of its employees, agents or contractors with a bona fide need to have such access in connection with the Transition Services, and shall follow all the other party’s security rules and procedures for restricting access to its computer systems in effect as of the date of the Master Transaction Agreement. All user identification numbers and passwords disclosed to a party and any information obtained by such party as a result of such party’s access to and use of the other party’s computer systems shall be deemed to be, and treated as, Confidential Information hereunder.
