Dear Beth:
OpenDoor Labs Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is pleased to offer you employment with the Company on the terms described below.
| 1. | Position. You will start in a full-time position in Head of Legal. You will initially report to Eric Wu. By signing this letter, you confirm with the Company that you are under no contractual or other legal obligations that would prohibit you from performing your duties with the Company. |
| 2. | Compensation. You will be paid a starting salary at the rate of $250,000 per year, payable on the Company’s regular payroll dates. |
| 3. | Equity Grant. Subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, you will be granted a right to purchase 60,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The purchase right will be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to restricted stock awards granted under the Company’s Employee Stock Plan, as described in that plan and the applicable restricted stock purchase agreement, which you will be required to sign. You will vest in 25% of the shares on the 12-month anniversary of your vesting commencement date and 1/48th of the total shares will vest in monthly installments thereafter during continuous service, as described in the applicable restricted stock purchase agreement. The exercise price per share will be equal to the fair market value per share on the date the restricted stock award is granted, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in good faith. There is no guarantee that the Internal Revenue Service will agree with this value. You should consult with your own tax advisor concerning the tax risks associated with accepting a right to purchase the Company’s common stock. |
| 4. | Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement. Like all Company employees, you will be required, as a condition of your employment with the Company, to sign the Company’s enclosed standard Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement. |
| 5. | Employment Relationship. Employment with the Company is for no specific period of time. Your employment with the Company will be “at will,” meaning that either you or the Company may terminate your employment at any time and for any reason, with or without cause. Any contrary representations which may have been made to you are superseded by this offer. This is the full and complete agreement between you and the Company on this term. Although your job duties, title, compensation and benefits, as well as the Company’s personnel policies and procedures, may change from time to time, the “at will” nature of your employment may only be changed in an express written agreement signed by you and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. |

This letter may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
