3.Exclusivity.
3.1Consumer Device Exclusivity. [***]
3.2Enterprise Exclusivity. [***]
3.3 Early Termination of Enterprise Exclusivity. If Hubble fails to meet the minimum Revenue Share Payment Thresholds specified below for any year during the Term, then L360 may, at its option, terminate the Enterprise Exclusivity or elect to waive the shortfall for 2026 (i.e. [***]), and extend Enterprise Exclusivity solely for the next calendar year (i.e. 2027).
Calendar Year | Revenue Share Payment Threshold* | ||||
2024 | [***] | ||||
2025 | [***] | ||||
2026 | [***] | ||||
2027 | [***] | ||||
2028 | [***] |
* Revenue Share Payment Thresholds represent accrued revenue amounts for all prior years. For example, the [***] figure for 2027 includes all Revenue Share Payments from 2024 through 2027.
If Hubble fails to meet the minimum Revenue Share Payment Threshold for two successive calendar years, then Enterprise Exclusivity terminates on December 31 of the second year it fails to meet the minimum Revenue Share Payment Threshold. For the avoidance of doubt, Hubble is not required to make any minimum revenue payments to L360 for the 2024 and 2025 calendar years; however, any
7
Exhibit 10.31
amounts paid during the 2024 and 2025 calendar years shall be included in the calculation of Revenue Share for the 2026 calendar year.
3.4Early Termination of Exclusivity. If there is an early termination of Enterprise Exclusivity, then Consumer Exclusivity automatically terminates on the date of Enterprise Exclusivity termination.
3.5Research & Development Exclusion. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary hereunder, nothing shall restrict or prohibit either Party from working with any third-party (whether enterprise or consumer) to develop products and/or services for a Party’s network, so long as such third-party does not officially launch a commercial product or service utilizing the other Party’s network until after the applicable exclusivity period ends. Any research and development or other exploratory work done by a Party with any other party shall not be considered a breach of the terms hereunder.
4.Joint Opportunities.
4.1 Mutual Opportunities. During the Term, the parties may from time to time present opportunities to each other that fall outside of the exclusivity described in this Section, consistent with Hubble’s focus on Enterprise opportunities and L360’s focus on consumer and advertising opportunities. The parties agree to work together in good faith to evaluate such opportunities and determine whether they are appropriate for collaboration. If the parties agree to collaborate on such opportunities, they shall enter into a separate written agreement that sets forth the terms and conditions of such collaboration. The parties acknowledge and agree that neither party shall have any obligation to present any opportunities to the other party, and that each party shall have the right to pursue opportunities independently or with third parties, subject to the terms of this Agreement.
5.Revenue Sharing; Payment Terms; Expenses.
5.1Revenue Share. In exchange for Hubble’s access to the Life360 Technology, including, without limitation, the Life360 BLE Network, and L360’s other obligations provided hereunder, for each Reporting Period Hubble shall pay to L360 the following revenue share amounts (the “Revenue Share Payments”):
(a)an amount equal to [***] of the Smartpin Revenue earned by Hubble as determined by Hubble in accordance with its application of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) during such Reporting Period; and
(b)an amount equal to (i) [***] of the Enterprise Revenue earned by Hubble as determined by Hubble in its application of GAAP during such Reporting Period multiplied by (ii) the greater of [***] or the applicable L360 Network Coverage Ratio for such Reporting Period.
There shall be no double-counting of revenue between the Smartpin Revenue and Enterprise Revenue. Any dollar of revenue included in the calculation of Smartpin Revenue must not also be included in the calculation of Enterprise Revenue (and vice versa). For reference and illustrative purposes, example calculations of the Revenue Share Payments are included on Addendum F.

(a)All of the license and exclusivity grants by either Party under Sections 3 and 6 shall terminate;
(b)Each Party shall return or destroy the other Party’s Confidential Information in accordance with Section 12.7.
12.Confidentiality.
12.1Obligations. Each Party agrees that it will keep confidential and will not at any time after the Effective Date (including after any expiration or termination of this Agreement) make use of or disclose to any Person any Confidential Information.
12.2Definition. “Confidential Information” means all non-public knowledge, data or other information of the disclosing Party (“Discloser”), whether disclosed to the Recipient (as defined below) prior to, on, or after the Effective Date, including, without limitation, (a) science, formulas, patterns, compilations, programs, devices, methods, designs, ideas, techniques and processes, financial information and data, business plans, business strategies, marketing plans, customer lists, price lists, cost information, information about employees, descriptions of inventions, process descriptions, descriptions of know-how, information and descriptions of new products and new product development, scientific and technical specifications and documentation, pending or abandoned patent applications of a party and trade secrets, now known or in possession of, or hereafter learned or acquired, that derives economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use, (b) any material designated by Discloser to be proprietary or confidential, (c) any information that is a trade secret or proprietary to Discloser under applicable law, or (d) any other information of which unauthorized disclosure could be detrimental to the interests of Discloser whether or not such information is otherwise identified or referred to as Confidential Information. Confidential Information shall not include any personally identifiable information or other information that can identify (or be uniquely associated with) a specific individual and is subject to applicable data privacy laws. For the avoidance of doubt and without limiting Section 12.4, Confidential Information of L360 includes, without limitation, all Life360 Core IP.
12.3Permitted Use and Disclosures. The party receiving Confidential Information (“Recipient”) shall use the Confidential Information solely in the performance of this Agreement. Except for the license grants under Section 6, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as granting any rights
14
Exhibit 10.31
to Recipient or any of its Affiliates, by license or otherwise, to any of the Confidential Information. Recipient may only disclose the Confidential Information to Recipient’s employees, officers, directors, financial services providers, attorneys, agents and representatives with a bona fide need to know such Confidential Information in furtherance of Recipient’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement (“Authorized Representatives”), but only to the extent necessary to perform obligations or exercise rights expressly granted in this Agreement, and only if such Authorized Representatives are advised of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and the terms of this Agreement, and are bound by a written agreement or by a legally enforceable code of professional responsibility to protect the confidentiality of such Confidential Information to the same extent provided in this Agreement.
12.4Exceptions. The obligations in Section 12.3 shall not apply to information that: (a) is generally known by third parties other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement by Recipient, (b) subsequent to disclosure hereunder was lawfully received without restriction on use or disclosure from a third party having the right to disseminate the information, (c) was already known to Recipient without restriction on use or disclosure prior to receiving it from Discloser, as proven by written evidence provided by Recipient, and was not, to Recipient’s knowledge, received from a third party in breach of such third party’s obligations of confidentiality or (d) is independently developed by Recipient without reference to any Confidential Information as proven by written evidence provided by Recipient. In addition, Recipient may disclose Confidential Information to the extent such disclosure is required pursuant to a valid order of a court or government authority of competent jurisdiction, provided that Recipient shall not disclose any Confidential Information until it has provided Discloser with reasonable prior notice, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, and an opportunity to seek a restraining order or make other efforts to limit the scope of disclosure, which efforts Recipient shall support as requested by Discloser. In the event that Discloser is not able to obtain any such restraining order or limit the scope of disclosure, Recipient shall only disclose that portion of the Confidential Information that, in the opinion of Recipient’s legal counsel, is required to be disclosed.
12.5Protection. Recipient shall be responsible for any prohibited disclosure or unauthorized use of the Confidential Information by its Authorized Representatives or any other Persons to whom Recipient discloses Confidential Information (in accordance with or in violation of this Agreement), and shall, at its sole cost and expense, take all necessary measures (including, without limitation, court proceedings, with Discloser’s prior written approval) to prevent or stop such prohibited disclosure or unauthorized use. Recipient shall, and shall cause its Authorized Representatives to, securely store and protect all Confidential Information at all times.
12.6Irreparable Harm. The Parties understand and acknowledge that any disclosure, misuse or misappropriation of any of the Confidential Information in violation of this Agreement will cause the Discloser irreparable harm, for which there will be no adequate remedy at law, and the amount of which may be difficult to ascertain. Therefore, Recipient agrees that in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Section 12 by Recipient or any of its Authorized Representatives, Discloser shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief and shall have the right to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or an order restraining and enjoining any such further disclosure or breach and for such other relief as Discloser shall deem appropriate. Such right of Discloser is to be in addition to the remedies otherwise available to Discloser under this Agreement, at law or in equity. Recipient hereby expressly waives the defense that a remedy in damages will be adequate and any requirement in an
15
Exhibit 10.31
action for specific performance or injunction for the posting of a bond by Discloser or a showing by Discloser of actual damages.
12.7Return of Documents. In the event that this Agreement expires or is terminated for any reason, or at the written request of Discloser, Recipient shall (and shall cause any third parties to whom Recipient has disclosed Confidential Information), (a) promptly return to Discloser the Confidential Information and any and all records, notes, and other written, printed or other tangible materials in its possession or control, pertaining to or reflecting the Confidential Information, (b) securely and irrevocably scrub from all electronic media (including, without limitation, e-mail and computer files) or otherwise irretrievably destroy all Confidential Information using methods consistent with best industry practices, and (c) certify in a writing duly signed by an authorized officer that Recipient has complied with this Section 12.7. The returning or destruction of such materials shall not relieve Recipient from compliance with other terms and conditions of this Agreement.
13.Non-solicitation. During the Term and for a period of [***] following the termination of this Agreement, whether voluntary or involuntary, each Party agrees its employees who had substantive contact with any employee or independent contractor of the other Party in the course of the performance of this Agreement shall not directly or indirectly solicit, induce, or attempt to induce such employee or independent contractor of the other Party to terminate their employment or contractual relationship with the other Party, or to accept employment or engagement with any other business, entity, or individual. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party shall be deemed to have breached this non-solicitation provision by: (a) placing general advertisements or solicitations in newspapers, trade publications, or other media that are not specifically targeted at the employees or independent contractors of Hubble, or (b) engaging in any solicitation or hiring that occurs as a result of such general advertisements or solicitations. Each of the Parties agrees that this non-solicitation provision is necessary to protect each of their Confidential Information that will be disclosed pursuant to this Agreement, and without which the Parties would not be able to provide the full benefits of this Agreement. Each of the Parties agrees that this provision is reasonable in light of its obligations under this Agreement and the circumstances surrounding the Agreement more generally.
14.Branding and Marketing. The Parties agree to conduct joint marketing activities and campaigns if and when applicable, subject to mutual agreement on the nature, scope, and timing of such activities (the “Joint Marketing Activities”). Each Party shall be responsible for such Party’s own costs associated with the Joint Marketing Activities. The Life360 BLE Network and Life360 Developer Platform shall be named by L360.

No waiver by any Party, whether express or implied, of any provision of this Agreement, or of any breach or default thereof, will constitute a continuing waiver of that provision or of any other provision.
18.9Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
