If the other Party has not demonstrated that it has remedied the breaches described in (c)(i) (or that such breaches did not occur or were not material) or IHH has demonstrated that the conditions of (c)(ii) or (c)(iii) have been met, by [***], and the notice has not been withdrawn, this 2015 Agreement will terminate on [***]. The Parties may follow a similar procedure for early termination in 2018-19.

(d)
In case of any early termination of this 2015 Agreement, the following shall apply: If [***] terminates under the [***] above, or [***] initiates the termination due to a failure [***] under the payments or ongoing material breach early termination clauses [***], Chegg shall have an option to [***] for up to [***] following such termination on the same terms and conditions as then in effect. If [***] terminates under the [***] clause, in addition to the other provisions of this section, [***] agrees that it will [***].

(e)
Effect of Termination. If this 2015 Agreement is terminated for any reason, Chegg shall cease generating Consumer Orders with IHH Inventory. This 2015 Agreement shall survive with respect to any IHH Inventory then in the hands of Consumers pursuant to active Rental Agreements, and Chegg will (at IHH’s expense) facilitate the return of such IHH Inventory in the ordinary course of operations consistent with the Service Policies applicable to such outstanding IHH Inventory. In the event of early termination Chegg will either liquidate or buy back the IHH Inventory at its option. The minimum amount due to IHH as a result of such buyback or liquidation will be subject to a floor as outlined in Section 5 of the Confidential Appendix. To the extent that proceeds from liquidation exceed the floor, Chegg

will participate in the [***] upside over and above the floor. To the extent that Chegg chooses to buy back the IHH Inventory, said buyback will be at FMV, subject to the floor as outlined in Section 5 of the Confidential Appendix. The cash amount due IHH for any such buyback or liquidation will be remitted to IHH within [***] following the effective date of the termination.

(f)
If the Logistics Agreement or the 2015 Agreement is terminated by Chegg prior to May 20, 2020, Chegg shall pay to IHH an amount equal to (i) the remaining rental payments owned by IHH under the lease entered into on March 10, 2015 by IHH for the new warehouse (the “New Warehouse”) to receive and hold the Chegg Inventory under this 2015 Agreement plus (ii) the applicable portion of the unamortized capital investment made by IHH related to the equipping and set up of the New Warehouse, as shown in the table set forth in Section 9 of the attached Confidential Appendix. Chegg will not be required to make a payment under this subsection if the termination is based on a section 10(b) or (c) breach by IHH under this 2015 Agreement.

11.

INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

14.
Confidentiality. (a) During the term of this 2015 Agreement, each Party (a “Disclosing Party”) may provide the other Party (a “Receiving Party”) with Confidential Information. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean the terms of this 2015 Agreement, the financial and transaction data arising from a Qualifying Transaction, the details of the Chegg Order, inventory data, business and marketing plans and business processes, customer contact information, and any other information which under the circumstances, a person exercising reasonable business judgment would understand to be confidential or proprietary. “Confidential Information” shall not include information (i) which is or becomes publicly available without fault by the Receiving Party, (ii) was or is rightfully acquired by the Receiving Party from a source other than the Disclosing Party, (iii) that is independently developed by Receiving Party without reference to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, or (iv) was known to the Receiving Party prior to the date of the disclosure by the Disclosing Party. Receiving Party shall only use the Confidential Information for the purposes contemplated hereunder. Receiving Party will not disclose such information to any third party without the prior written consent of Disclosing Party. Each Party will take the same precautions it takes to protect the confidentiality of such information as are employed to protect its own confidential information of a similar nature, but in no case shall such protections be less than the standard of reasonable care for such information in the industry. At termination of this Agreement, upon Disclosing Party’s request, Receiving Party shall return to Disclosing Party all Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in its possession, including, without limitation, all copies and extracts thereof, or shall purge any Confidential Information in its data base maintained for this Agreement except as may be reasonably necessary for historical record keeping purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information (i) to any third-party to the limited extent necessary to exercise its rights or obligations of confidentiality and non-use at least as restricted as the duties applicable to the Receiving Party hereunder, (ii) as may be required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) provided however, that in such event the parties agree that Chegg shall file a confidential treatment request with respect thereto and that IHH shall have the right to participate in the drafting of, and any discussions or meetings with the SEC with respect to, any such request, (iii) as required by law or any judicial or governmental rule, regulation or requirement, provided that the Receiving Party will, unless prohibited by law or court order, provide Disclosing Party with notice of such disclosure or (iv) to the limited extent necessary to carry out its obligations under this 2015 Agreement.

(b) All customer information provided to IHH by Chegg, including but not limited to Chegg customer contact information, is Chegg’s confidential information, and is being provided to IHH solely for the purpose of fulfilling its obligations under this 2015 Agreement which purpose shall include the use of such customer information by IHH to evaluate and promote efficiencies under the Logistics Agreement. Upon termination of the 2015 Agreement, IHH shall delete all Chegg customer information, and provide Chegg with written confirmation of such deletion, except for any such information it is required by law to retain.
 
15.
Independent Contractors. For purposes of this Agreement, Chegg shall be considered an independent contractor of IHH with respect to renting the IHH Inventory. Unless otherwise permitted in writing, neither Party is authorized to, and neither Party shall make, any representations, warranties or guarantees to customers or potential customers regarding the other Party’s services or products in a manner that states or implies that such representation, warranty or guarantee is being made on behalf of the other Party.

16.
Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, all undisputed sums due under this Agreement at the time of the Event of Default shall be due and payable, and the parties shall be entitled to the additional remedies set forth below:

(a)
The parties acknowledge that if either Party fails, or threatens to fail, to comply with its obligations under Section 14 of this 2015 Agreement, the other Party may suffer irreparable harm for which there may be no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, if either Party fails to comply with such obligations, then, in addition to its other remedies, the other Party shall be entitled immediately to seek injunctive relief or any other appropriate equitable remedy.

(b)
The rights, powers, and remedies under this 2015 Agreement shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies by virtue of any statute or rule of law, all of which rights, powers, and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised successively or concurrently. Any waiver, forbearance or failure or delay in exercising any right, power, or remedy shall not preclude the further exercise thereof, and every right, power, or remedy of the non-defaulting Party shall continue in full force and effect.

17.
Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other terms of this 2015 Agreement, each Party agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the other Party harmless from and against all third party claims (and all damages awarded to third parties, third party liabilities, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from or related to: (i) its breach of this 2015 Agreement, (ii) its violation of any applicable law or regulation, or (iii) its negligence. The Indemnifying Party agrees to use counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to defend each indemnified claim. A Party’s obligation to indemnify the other under this paragraph shall arise only if the Indemnified Party provides the Indemnifying Party prompt notice of any claim that might lead to a claim for indemnification and the indemnified Party provides at its own expense all reasonable assistance for the defense of any claim. The Indemnified Party may engage its own counsel at its own expense with respect to any indemnified matter. The Indemnifying Party may not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of a claim without either (i) the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which may not be unreasonably withheld, or (ii) tendering to the Indemnified Party the amount that would have been paid for such judgment or settlement in exchange for a release from the Indemnified Party with respect to the claim so the Indemnified Party may conduct its defense on its own terms. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any provision in this 2015 Agreement to the contrary, Chegg’s failure to collect, file returns and remit sales taxes as provided herein will be deemed an Event of Default subject to indemnification of IHH under this Section which indemnified amount shall include any related interest and penalties.

(b)
To the extent Chegg acquires, or is deemed to have, any interest in and to the IHH Inventory, Chegg hereby grants to IHH a security interest in and to all IHH Inventory and IHH shall have the right to file the UCC financing statement set forth in Exhibit A with the appropriate offices or agencies of the applicable states. IHH will reasonably cooperate with Chegg in good faith with any intercreditor agreements/acknowledgements reasonably requested by Chegg and/or its future secured lenders, provided such do not diminish IHH’s right, title, or interest in the IHH Inventory.

19.

(b)
Neither Party shall have any right or ability to assign, transfer, or sublicense any obligations or benefit under this 2015 Agreement without the written consent of the other Party (and any such attempt shall be void), provided, however, IHH shall have the right to assign this 2015 Agreement to one of its affiliates without any such consent. This 2015 Agreement will be binding on and inure to the benefit of Chegg and IHH and their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns.

(c)
The parties further agree that if any portion of this 2015 Agreement is illegal or unenforceable, such portion(s) shall be limited or excluded from this 2015 Agreement to the minimum extent required and the balance of this 2015 Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and enforceable.

(d)

hereunder, and to promptly correct any noncompliance with codes and other laws if such noncompliance materially interferes with performance of the services.

(f)
No Party shall be liable for delay in performance of nonperformance of any term or condition of this 2015 Agreement directly or indirectly resulting from a force majeure event, including, without limitation, fire, explosion, accident, flood, labor trouble or stoppage, terrorism, civil unrest, war or military hostilities, criminal acts of third parties, or acts of God, and any delivery date shall be extended to the extent of any delay resulting from any force majeure event, provided that an event of force majeure shall not delay or relieve a Party of its payment obligations hereunder.

(g)
No delay or omission by any Party to exercise any right or power occurring upon any noncompliance or default by any other Party with respect to any of the terms of this 2015 Agreement shall impair any such right or power or be construed to be a waiver thereof. A waiver by any of the Parties hereto of any of the covenants, conditions, or agreements to be performed by any other Party shall not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach thereof or of any covenant, condition, or agreement herein contained.

(h)
This 2015 Agreement, the 2014 Logistics Agreement (as amended herein), and the Confidential Appendix attached hereto constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes any and all purchase orders, prior agreements, arrangements or understandings related to the subject matter hereof and can only be modified or waived by a subsequent written agreement signed by the appropriate Parties.

(i)
This 2015 Agreement and the Logistics Amendment may be executed in counterparts and/or by electronic signature (including in pdf form) and if so executed shall be equally binding as an original copy of this Agreement executed in ink by the Parties.
