No failure to so notify an indemnitor will relieve an indemnitor of its obligations under the Agreement, except to the extent that the indemnitor can demonstrate its inability to defend the claim solely attributable to such failure. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice from the indemnitee relating to any claim, but no later than ten (10) days before the date on which any filing is due responding to a third-party action, proceeding, or other claim, the indemnitor will notify the indemnitee in writing if the indemnitor acknowledges its indemnification obligation and elects to assume control of the defense of that claim (a “Notice of Election”).
Capital One Confidential |
47 |
DocuSign Envelope ID: BC0118C0-7D8D-4D57-9E7F-9B103E2F1016 |
B.Procedure Following Notice of Election. If the indemnitor delivers a Notice of Election relating to any claim within the required notice period, the indemnitor may assume sole control over the defense and settlement of such claim, with counsel approved by the indemnitee but who’s approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the indemnitor assumes control over the defense of any claim, the indemnitor will provide regular updates to the indemnitee regarding the status of any such claim, will promptly provide copies of all filings, notices, communications, and other material information, and will regularly share information and documents to keep the indemnitee reasonably informed. The indemnitor will also provide any additional information reasonably requested by the indemnitee from time to time relating to any such claim. To the extent any information is required by the indemnitor from the indemnitee in connection with the indemnitor’s defense of any claim, the indemnitor, where practicable, will timely request any such information well in advance of any deadlines.
(i)Any indemnitee may have the right to participate in its own defense of such claim and employ counsel for any reason at all, but the fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the indemnitee’s sole expense; provided, however, that the indemnitor will not have the right to direct the defense on behalf of the indemnitee and will be required to pay the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of such counsel for the indemnitee, such fees and expenses subject to the approval of the indemnitor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld (in addition to the indemnitor’s obligation to indemnify indemnitee for any judgment or award or the costs of settlement or compromise of any claim) under any of the following circumstances: (a) the employment of such counsel by indemnitee has been authorized in writing by the indemnitor; (b) the indemnitor has not employed counsel to take charge of the defense within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the applicable notice of a claim for which a defense and indemnity obligation exists, or, having elected to assume such defense, thereafter ceases its defense of any such claim; (c) the indemnitee has reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnitor; (d) the indemnitee has reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the indemnitor and the indemnitee in the conduct of the defense; (e) the indemnitee has reasonably determined that the claim may adversely affect it or any of its Affiliates other than by way of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification (including claims possibly affecting the indemnitee’s or any of its Affiliates’ reputation or goodwill, claims seeking injunctive or noneconomic relief, and claims involving criminal charges); or (f) in the reasonable and good faith belief of the indemnitee, the indemnitor has failed to diligently or otherwise defend any claim to the satisfaction of the indemnitee.
(ii)The indemnitee will have the right to review and approve, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, the indemnitor’s

strategies, filings, communications, and positions before they are implemented, filed, or otherwise delivered. The indemnitor must obtain

the prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, of the indemnitee before entering any settlement of any such claim, or before permitting a default or consent to entry of any judgment.
16.5Infringement Remedies.
If any Deliverable or Work used by Service Provider to provide the Services or included in the Services becomes, or in Service Provider's reasonable opinion is likely to become, the subject of an infringement or misappropriation claim or proceeding, in addition to indemnifying the Capital One Indemnitees as provided in this Article 16 and in addition to the other rights Capital One has under the Agreement, Service Provider will:
A.promptly secure the right, at Service Provider’s expense, to continue using the Deliverable or Work; or
B.if this cannot be accomplished with commercially reasonable efforts, then at Service Provider’s expense, replace or modify the Deliverable or Work to make it non-infringing or without misappropriation, if replacement or modification will not degrade the performance or quality of the affected component of the Services; or
C.if Service Provider is unable to accomplish either of these options with commercially reasonable efforts, and only in such event, remove the Deliverable or Work from the Services, in which case the charges will be equitably adjusted to reflect such removal (and if in Capital One’s sole discretion such removal is material to all or any portion of the remaining Services, Capital One may terminate without liability the entire Agreement or such portion of the affected Services).
17.LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
17.1SUBJECT TO SECTION 17.3, AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, IN NO EVENT, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT (INCLUDING BREACH OF WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT), OR OTHERWISE, SHALL A PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY (OR ANYONE CLAIMING UNDER OR THROUGH THE OTHER PARTY) FOR INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF, RESULTING FROM, OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE PERFORMANCE OR BREACH OF THE AGREEMENT, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES IN ADVANCE. THE FOREGOING WILL NOT BE DEEMED TO APPLY TO SERVICE LEVEL CREDITS.
17.2Subject to Section 17.3, each Party's total liability to the other, whether in contract or in tort (including breach of warranty, negligence and strict liability in tort) or otherwise arising out of, resulting from, or in any way connected with, the performance or breach of the Agreement shall be limited to an amount equal to the total charges payable to Service Provider pursuant to all Statements of Work

Capital One Confidential |
51 |
DocuSign Envelope ID: BC0118C0-7D8D-4D57-9E7F-9B103E2F1016 |
occurred plus the charges for the previous eleven (11) months (i.e., a total of twelve
(12) months’ charges), not to exceed Two Million Dollars U.S. ($2,000,000); provided, however, that if such event giving rise to liability occurs during the first twelve (12) months after any SOW Effective Date, the foregoing amount shall include a prorated amount for each month less than twelve (12) based upon the average of the monthly charges actually paid for that SOW.
17.3The limitations set forth in Sections 17.1 and 17.2 shall not apply with respect to any of the following: (i) damages occasioned by the fraud or gross negligence of Service Provider and claims that are the subject of indemnification pursuant to Article 16, which damages are uncapped; (ii) damages occasioned by a Party's breach of its obligations with respect to “Confidential Information” (excluding indemnification for such damages/claims) and damages occasioned by a Party's breach of its respective obligation under the Agreement to comply with Applicable Laws as set forth in Article 13, for which each Party’s liability shall be limited to an amount equal to Ten Million Dollars U.S. ($10,000,000) in the aggregate; and (iii) damages occasioned by the negligence of Service Provider (excluding indemnification for such damages/claims), for which Service Provider’s liability shall be limited to Ten Million Dollars U.S. ($10,000,000).
18.TERMINATION
18.1Termination for Cause.
A.If either Party commits a material breach of the Agreement that is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice of breach from the non-breaching Party (including, but not limited to, breaches of its obligations under Article 12, (“Confidentiality and Data Protection”), Section 14.1 (“Adequate Internal Controls”), Section 19.11 (“Service Marks”), or fails to comply with any Applicable Laws), then the non-breaching Party may, by giving written notice to the breaching Party, terminate the Master Services Agreement and/or any SOWs, without liability and without prejudice to the non-breaching party’s other rights under the Agreement, as of a date specified in the notice of termination. Provided, however, that if the breach, in the non-breaching Party’s reasonable discretion is not susceptible to cure within such 30-day period, the thirty (30) day cure period shall be extended, in the non-breaching Party’s commercially reasonable discretion, if the breaching Party commences to cure the breach within such period and thereafter diligently proceeds to complete such a cure. The cure period above does not apply (or may be shortened) if stated otherwise in a Statement of Work.
B.If Capital One fails to pay Service Provider when due undisputed charges for two (2) consecutive months after the applicable due date and continues to fail to make such payment for thirty (30) days after written notice from Service Provider, Service Provider may, by giving written notice to Capital One, terminate the SOW as of a date specified in the notice of termination which is at least thirty (30) days thereafter.
Capital One Confidential |
52 |
DocuSign Envelope ID: BC0118C0-7D8D-4D57-9E7F-9B103E2F1016 |
C.Upon any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 18.1, the non- breaching Party will take all reasonable steps (under the circumstances) to minimize damages caused to it by such breach.
18.2Termination for Bankruptcy.
A.A Party may terminate the Master Services Agreement, and/or part or all of any or all SOWs without liability, if the other Party: (i) commences proceedings to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent; (ii) consents to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking an arrangement of debt, reorganization, dissolution, winding up or relief under applicable bankruptcy law; (iii) consents to the appointment of a receiver, interim receiver, receiver and manager, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of it or for all or substantially all of its property; (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (v) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree ordering any of the relief set forth in (i)-(iv) and such order remains unstayed and in effect for thirty (30) days.
B.In addition, in the event that the Service Provider becomes subject to any petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), it shall, within three (3) Business Days of date of the filing of such petition (the “Petition Date”), file a motion seeking to protect customer programs and honor prepetition obligations to customers regarding any Stays (as defined in Statement of Work No. 59327) in the ordinary course. In particular, Service Provider shall seek relief from the automatic stay and, to the extent necessary, any other appropriate relief, to permit Service Provider to (x) honor any Stays booked prior to the Petition Date, or (y) to the extent Service Provider reasonably believes it is unable to honor any Stays, follow the same Stay relocation procedure it ordinarily uses in the event of a Stay Disruption under Section 3.1(a)(VIII) of Statement of Work No. 59327, including offering to (i) relocate the involved Cardholder Customers to another comparable location, availability depending; or (ii) provide a full refund in the original form of payment. For the avoidance of doubt, the expiration or termination of Statement of Work No. 59327 will not relieve Service Provider of its obligations under this provision.
18.3Termination upon Change of Control.
A.Definition. As used in Sections 18.3(B) and (C), “Change of Control” means: a transaction or series of related transactions in which (i) an entity, directly or indirectly acquires control of (a) Inspirato Incorporated (“Parent”), Service Provider or any material direct or indirect subsidiary thereof or (b) all or a majority of all of the assets or equity of Parent, Service Provider or any material direct or indirect subsidiary thereof; or (ii) Parent or Service Provider, directly or indirectly, is merged with or into another entity or engages in any other business combination transaction, other than a transaction in which the equity holders of Parent or Service Provider, as applicable, holding equity outstanding immediately prior to the transaction continue to own a majority of the outstanding equity of the resulting or continuing entity (or its ultimate corporate parent) immediately after such transaction.

53 |
DocuSign Envelope ID: BC0118C0-7D8D-4D57-9E7F-9B103E2F1016 |
B.Change of Control of Service Provider. If a Change of Control occurs, then Capital One may terminate the Master Services Agreement, and/or any or all SOWs without liability, by giving Service Provider written notice designating a date at a minimum of thirty (30) days in advance upon which such termination will be effective.
C.In addition to Capital One’s termination right set forth in Section 18.3(B), in the event that any third-party (“Change of Control Third-Party”) provides a written term sheet, offer or other proposal to Service Provider (or any Affiliate thereof, or any officer or director or representative of Service Provider or any Affiliate thereof) with respect to a transaction that could reasonably result in a Change of Control, Service Provider must provide Capital One with written notice (a “Change of Control Notice”) within five (5) days of receipt of such term sheet, offer or proposal. Service Provider shall not be required to provide any specific details with respect to the terms of the potential transaction in a Change of Control Notice, including the identity of the Change of Control Third Party. Service Provider must notify any Change of Control Thirty-Party of its obligation to disclose such offer on a no-name basis. Service Provider shall keep Capital One informed on a reasonably timely basis of material developments with respect to such offer (e.g., is the Service Provider pursuing such offer, are negotiations taking place with respect to such offer, have discussions been terminated, etc.). Notwithstanding any termination by Capital One pursuant to Section 18.3(B), Service Provider shall provide Capital One written notice of the consummation of any Change of Control at least seventy- two (72) business hours prior to the consummation of a Change of Control.
D.Change of Control of Capital One. If (i) another entity, directly or indirectly, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, acquires control of Capital One or its parent Capital One Financial Corporation ("COFC") or all or substantially all of the assets of Capital One or COFC; (ii) COFC is merged with or into another entity; or (iii) in a single transaction or series of related transactions, COFC acquires control of an entity that is substantially similar in size to COFC, then Capital One may terminate the Master Services Agreement and/or any or all SOWs, by giving Service Provider written notice designating a date at a minimum one hundred and eighty (180) days in advance upon which such termination will be effective (for clarification, notwithstanding the notice requirement, Capital One can only commit the new entity to keep the inventory live and available to Capital One Cardholder Customers (as defined in SOW 59327) for bookings, for a minimum of sixty (60) days during this notice period). Prior to exercising such right to termination, however, Capital One agrees to use its best efforts to maintain the status quo of this Agreement post- change of control, but incorporating changes as needed to account for the change in control. If Capital One exercises such right to termination during the initial Term of this Agreement (five (5) years), then Capital One will be responsible for reimbursement of Service Provider’s reasonable out of pocket technology integration and implementation costs. Any such exercise of this termination right does not impact the Parties’ rights/obligations as set forth in the Investment Agreement between Inspirato, Inc., Inspirato LLC, the Other Guarantor Subsidiaries (as

18.4Termination for Regulatory Objection.
If any Capital One Regulator objects to the Agreement or any aspect of Service Provider’s provision of the Services such that Capital One is required to end some/all of the services from Service Provider, Capital One may terminate the Master Services Agreement and/or any or all SOWs without liability, upon written notice to Service Provider.
18.5Termination Based on Minimum Liquidity Threshold.
Capital One may terminate the Master Services Agreement, and/or any or all SOWs, without liability, at any time, if Service Provider fails to meet an end of month cash balance of at least ten million dollars ($10,000,000) (“Minimum Liquidity Threshold”). No later than seven (7) Business Days after the end of each month, Service Provider shall certify to Capital One, in a written instrument executed by a member of senior management of Service Provider, that its end of month cash balance for such month is at least equal to the Minimum Liquidity Threshold. Prior to exercising such right to termination, however, Service Provider shall have three (3) Business Days after the date of written certification to increase the cash balance to at least ten million dollars ($10,000,000); provided, however, that Service Provider shall be provided with one (1) such cure period in a rolling three hundred and sixty-five (365) day period.

means any and all trademarks, service marks, trade dress, logos, trade names, and corporate names, whether or not registered. During the Term of the Agreement, Capital One grants to Service Provider a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable, royalty-free, revocable license, with no right to sublicense, to use certain of Capital One's Marks as specified by Capital One and, further, solely as is necessary to perform Service Provider's obligations under the Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the license granted by Capital One in this Section is an integral, non-severable provision of this Agreement;
(ii) this license is personal to Service Provider based on Capital One’s belief that Service Provider will provide quality services to Capital One’s customers in a manner that will not damage the Mark(s); and (iii) that
U.S. trademark law and other applicable non-bankruptcy law excuses a party, without its consent, from accepting performance from or rendering performance to anyone other than the other party; and that this agreement constitutes an executory contract of the kind specified in Section 365(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code for which Capital One does not consent to any such assumption or assignment. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that Section 365(e)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code does not prevent termination of rights and licenses hereunder, and that Section 365(e)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code permits such termination, in each instance on the terms and subject of the Agreement. Each of the Parties hereby waives the protections of the "automatic stay" contained in Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code to the extent required to permit each other Party to exercise any rights of termination under the Agreement or this SOW.
(ii)Service Provider must use Capital One Marks in accordance with graphic standards and similar criteria provided by Capital One. Capital One has the right, upon reasonable notice and at all reasonable times during business hours, to inspect Service Provider's use of Capital One Marks and representative promotional materials that Service Provider uses or proposes to use in connection with Capital One Marks. Capital One shall be given a reasonable period of time (of not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to any proposed publication date) to review, comment, or approve each proposed use of the Capital One Marks by Service Provider, prior to any use or publication thereof. In the event that Capital One does not provide its express written approval (email sufficient) during the ten (10) Business Day review period, unless Capital One expressly agrees to extend the review period in writing (email sufficient), then Capital One will be deemed to have denied Service Provider’s use of such Capital One Marks in the proposed promotional materials.
(iii)Service Provider will include in all communications that contain a Capital One Mark appropriate disclosure information regarding any such Mark as provided to Service Provider and required by Capital One. Service Provider will, upon Capital One's request, append the

B.Service Provider Marks
(i)Capital One acknowledges Service Provider’s ownership of and proprietary interest in its Marks. During the Term and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Service Provider grants to Capital One (and Affiliates) a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable, royalty-free, revocable license, with no right to sublicense, to use certain of Service Provider’s Marks as specified by Service Provider and, further, solely as is necessary to perform Capital One’s obligations or use the Services under the Agreement.
(ii)With respect to any proposed public uses of Service Provider’s Marks by Capital One, Capital One shall seek prior written approval (email sufficient) from Service Provider prior to using the Service Provider’s Marks. Service Provider shall not unreasonably condition, delay, or deny such approval. Capital One shall provide Service Provider with a representative sample of proposed public-facing materials incorporating any of the Service Provider’s Marks, and shall provide Service Provider with at least five (5) Business Days to review or comment on Capital One’s proposed use of the Service Provider’s Marks. The foregoing is provided however, that if Service Provider does not expressly deny Capital One’s use of such Service Provider’s Marks in writing (email sufficient) within five (5) Business Days’ of its receipt of the relevant representative sample(s), then Service Provider shall be deemed to have consented to Capital One’s proposed use of such Service Provider’s Marks in the submitted representative samples. If Service Provider does provide a timely rejection of Capital One’s proposed use, then Service Provider shall explain in writing why approval was withheld. Capital One shall then have the right to re- submit a request for approval if Capital One believes that the issue has been addressed or if circumstances surrounding the request have changed. Capital One agrees to comply with written usage guidelines and quality control standards established with respect to Service Provider’s Marks as may be provided by Service Provider to Capital One from time to time during the Term. Once a representative sample incorporating any Service Provider’s Marks has been approved (either expressly or through Service Provider’s failure to provide a timely denial), Capital One need not seek further approval to use the same Service Provider’s Marks in materials substantially similar to the submitted representative sample(s). Service Provider further agrees that to the extent Capital One’s use of any Service Provider’s Marks is material to the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any SOW, if Service Provider denies Capital One use of the necessary Service Provider’s Marks, then Capital One shall be alleviated of such obligations until the necessary approval has been provided.
(iii)Capital One will include in all communications that contain a Service Provider Mark appropriate disclosure information regarding any such
