Your contributions to Offerpad Solutions Inc. (the “Company”) have been very valuable and we consider your ongoing efforts to be critical to our future success.

Capitalized but undefined terms contained in this Letter are defined in your Long-Term Carried Interest Award Agreement with the Company.

 

Cash Bonus. Given your key role in the Company, we would like to reward you with a one-time, special cash bonus in an amount equal to $100,000 (the “Bonus”). The Bonus will be paid to you on or within 15 days following the later of (x) March 15, 2025, or (y) the date on which the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the later of such dates, the “Retention Date”), subject to your continued employment through the Retention Date; provided, however, that the Bonus shall be paid no later than March 15, 2026.

 

Termination of Employment. If your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause within three months prior to or one year following a Change in Control (as defined in the Company’s 2021 Incentive Award Plan) prior to the Retention Date (a “Qualifying Termination”), then the Company will pay the Bonus to you within 60 days following the later of (A) your employment termination date or (B) the date of the Change in Control. It shall be a condition to your right to receive the Bonus in connection with a Qualifying Termination that you execute and deliver to the Company within 21 days (or 45 days, if required by applicable law) following your employment termination date, and do not revoke, a general release of claims in a form to be provided by the Company.

 

Taxes. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Letter such federal, state, local or foreign taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.
