RE: OFFER OF EMPLOYMENT

Dear Tyler:

The FOXO team (collectively, “Company,” “our,” “we” or “us”) is pleased to offer you the role and position as our Chief Technology Officer.

We are very excited to make you this offer and to have you join our team!

Your Role:

As the Chief Technology Officer of the Company, you will work closely with the entire team to create the most innovative, modern and exciting - technology enabled - life insurance company ever conceived.

Our Company is dedicated to modernizing the longevity insurance industry with molecular biotechnology for both underwriting and consumer engagement. As such, FOXO is the most forward thinking life insurance company to use and deploy modern technology that promises to change an industry. As the Chief Technology Officer, your role sits at the core of how FOXO will use and deploy technology in redefining an industry.

Your professional and personal experience has prepared you for this role unlike any other candidate. In your role, you will work directly with the Chief Executive Officer, to ensure his bold entrepreneurial vision of an industry redefined plays out masterfully in its execution. Accordingly, you will lead a cross functional team charged with the task of bringing FOXO.Life into reality by Q2-2020. In order to achieve this goal, FOXO.Life will use a combination of systems that provide efficiencies that allow our reimagined life insurance product shine. Our reimagined life insurance product combines the old with the new - creating something entirely different.

Our hypothesis is that a traditional life insurance policy (the “old”) is combined with a molecular health and wellness platform (the “new”), we transform the product into a health and wellness product. We have tested this hypothesis directly with consumers and with insurance agents. And we are confident that executed properly, we can create a value proposition that will stand out and attract a significant following among younger, tech savvy, highly educated, higher income earning individuals - and the agents who strive to serve them.

We are deeply passionate that the primary benefit of our FOXO life insurance product is helping its customers live healthier lives. And we believe healthier lives begin with molecular health and wellness - the foundation of all life on earth. Scientists have only recently gained access to the tools and technology necessary to unbundle the foundational relationships of our biology. The human genome, that took a decade to sequence at a cost of $3B in 2003 can be sequenced in a few hours for a few hundred dollars. Thus, in less than seventeen years, science and technology has fundamentally changed our understanding of our human biology. And as our Chief Technology Officer, you can appreciate how technology will continue to accelerate and play a growing role in our lives. Your role is to lead the FOXO team to harness technology in order to achieve our strategic goals and objectives with maximum efficiency.

Your Position:

The key accountabilities and duties of the Chief Technology Officer position include, but are not limited, to the following:

● Leading a cross-functional internal team, along with third party vendors, in the technology implementation necessary to successfully launch and operate our FOXO.Life.

● Lead the development of our digital platform that allows consumers to seamlessly purchase our products, as well as allow for customers servicing, claims management, and health and wellness engagement.

● Set and implement the company’s technology vision and plan, ensuring resources (internal and third-party) meet the company’s short and long-term needs with functionality and efficiency.

● Work with executive leadership to make decisions on behalf of the Company’s technological requirements that align to the business goals.

● You are expected to act as both a technology and business expert, making decisions that will impact the current and future operations of the Company.

● Develop and implement policies and systems to ensure company’s systems and data are secure. This includes being a primary participant towards obtaining and maintaining SOC2 certification.

● Work with General Counsel to ensure the Company’s data policies and systems comply with appropriate regulatory frameworks.

The key consideration of the terms of our offer of employment are in Exhibit A. If these terms of employment are acceptable, please indicate your acceptance below.

Sincerely,

Jon Sabes
