1.
EXCHANGE OF CS SHARES FOR MYHI SHARES
A. Agreements to Exchange CS Shares for MYHI Shares. On the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Shareholders shall assign, transfer, convey and deliver the CS Shares to MYHI and, in consideration and exchange for the CS Shares, MYHI shall issue, transfer, convey and deliver the MYHI Shares to the Shareholders in the allocations set forth on Schedule I as set forth in Section 1.2.
B. The MYHI Shares.
1. All of the MYHI Shares shall be issued to the Shareholders at Closing and shall be deemed to be outstanding, fully paid, validly issued and non-assessable.
2. In the event that the Employment Agreement is terminated by MYHI for Cause (as defined therein) or by Xxxxx Xxxxxx (“Xxxxxx”) without Good Reason (as defined therein) (each, a “Forfeiture Event”) at any time prior to the expiration of the two year anniversary of the Closing, Xxxxxx shall return the MYHI Shares issued to Xxxxxx at the Closing to the extent they have not vested pursuant to this Section 1.2(b) (the “Unvested Shares”). The Unvested Shares shall vest at a rate of 1/24 of the shares (adjusted for any stock splits, recapitalization and similar actions) each month over a 24-month period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the second anniversary of the Closing Date, with appropriate adjustment for any partial month.
3. Upon the occurrence of a Forfeiture Event, the then Unvested Shares shall be automatically deemed forfeited and Xxxxxx shall have no further right, title or interest in such Unvested Shares.
4. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2, 100% of the then Unvested Shares shall vest in full immediately prior to, but conditioned upon the termination of the Employment Agreement by MYHI for a reason other than Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement), or the termination of the Employment Agreement by Xxxxxx for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement).
5. Xxxxxx may not sell, transfer, encumber or other dispose of any Unvested Shares to the extent they have not vested pursuant to Section 1.2(b) or Section 1.2(d), except to Xxxxxx’x spouse or to a trust for estate planning purposes, provided that the transferee agrees in writing to take such shares to all the terms and conditions of this Section 1.2. Xxxxxx understands that the certificates evidencing the Unvested Shares shall bear a legend reflecting such restriction to the extent that they have not vested pursuant to Section 1.2(b) or Section 1.2(d), and that MYHI shall have the right to instruct its transfer agent to have such restriction and any forfeiture reflected on its transfer books.
6. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Xxxxxx may exercise all rights and privileges of a stockholder of MYHI with respect to the Unvested Shares.
7. Xxxxxx understands that Xxxxxx may elect to be taxed at the time the Unvested Shares are purchased rather than when and as the forfeiture risk lapses by filing an election, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, under Section 83(b) of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days from the date of purchase of the Unvested Shares. Xxxxxx shall notify the Company in writing if Xxxxxx files an election pursuant to Section 83(b).
C. Closing and Actions at Closing. The closing of the Exchange (the “Closing”) shall take place remotely concurrently with the execution of this Agreement via the exchange of documents and signatures on the date of this Agreement (the “Closing Date”).
D. Restrictions on MYHI Shares. The MYHI Shares have not been registered and are being and will be issued pursuant to a specific exemption under the Securities Act, as well as under certain state securities laws for transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering or in reliance on limited federal preemption from such state securities registration laws, based on the suitability and investment representations made by the Shareholders to MYHI. The MYHI Shares must be held and may not be sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of for value unless such securities are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available, and that the certificates representing the MYHI Shares will bear a legend in substantially the following form so restricting the sale of such securities:
The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. The securities have been acquired for investment and may not be sold or transferred without complying with Rule 144 in the absence of an effective registration or other compliance under the Securities Act.

The parties to this Agreement, acting for themselves and for their respective successors and assigns, without regard to domicile, citizenship or residence, hereby expressly and irrevocably elect as the sole judicial forum for the adjudication of any matters arising under or in connection with this Agreement, and consent and subject themselves to the jurisdiction of, the courts of the State of California, and/or the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, in respect of any matter arising under this Agreement. Service of process, notices and demands of such courts may be made upon any party to this Agreement by personal service at any place where it may be found or giving notice to such party as provided in Section 9.3.
I. Enforcement of the Agreement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereto, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

Except as otherwise provided herein, no amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by all of the parties hereto. No waiver by any party of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any such prior or subsequent occurrence.
L. Conflict Waiver; Attorney-Client Privilege.
1. Each of the Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that DLA Piper LLP (US) (“DLA Piper”) has served as counsel to CS in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, following Closing and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, DLA Piper (or any successor) may serve as counsel to any of the Shareholders in connection with any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement notwithstanding such representation, and each of the Parties hereto hereby consents thereto and waives any conflict of interest arising therefrom and each of such Parties shall cause any affiliate thereof to consent to waive any conflict of interest arising from such representation.
2. All parties further agree that, as to all communications among DLA Piper and the Shareholders and their respective affiliates (individually and collectively, the “Shareholder Group”) that relate in any way to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the attorney-client privilege and the exception of client confidence belongs solely to the Shareholder Group and may be controlled only by the Shareholder Group and shall not pass to or be claimed by MYHI or CS, because the interests of MYHI and its affiliates were directly adverse to CS and the Shareholders at the time such communications were made. This right to the attorney-client privilege shall exist even if such communications may exist on CS’s computer system or in documents in CS’s possession. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises among the MYHI, CS, and a person other than a Party to this Agreement after the Closing, CS may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure to such third-party of confidential communications by DLA Piper to CS; provided, however, that CS may not waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Xxxxxx.
