Options: The Company previously granted you an option to purchase .35% (168,498) shares of the Company’s total fully diluted capitalization on the date of the Original Offer Letter(the “Option”), with a per share exercise price determined by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), on the date the Option is granted and which shall be based on the most current 409A valuation report representing the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Option is subject to the terms and conditions applicable to options granted under the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), as described in the Plan and the applicable stock option agreement entered into by and between you and the Company. Your Option vests in accordance with the following schedule, as described in the applicable stock option agreement: 1/48th of the shares subject to the Option shall vest on the date that is one month after the vesting commencement date; and 1/48th of the shares subject to the Option shall vest over the next forty-seven (47) months on the same day, subject to your continued service with the Company through each vesting date, such that the Option will be 100% vested on the fourth anniversary of the vesting commencement date.

Double-Trigger Acceleration: Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event your employment with the Company (or the Company’s successor) is either (i) terminated by the Company (or the Company’s successor) without Cause or (ii) terminated by you for Good Reason (as defined below), within twelve (12) months after a Change in Control Transaction (as defined below), then 100% of the then-unvested shares subject to the Option shall automatically vest on the date of such termination, contingent upon your execution and delivery, and not revoking, of a Release within sixty (60) days following your termination date (or such shorter time as specified by Owlet), and your continued compliance with all applicable restrictive covenants, including, without limitation, your Confidentiality Agreement.

Definitions.

1. “Cause” shall mean (i) your conviction of, or the entering a plea of guilty or no contest to, any felony or any crime involving moral turpitude, (ii) your commission of an act of fraud, embezzlement, misappropriation, willful misconduct or breach of fiduciary duty against the Company or other similar conduct, (iii) your commission of a material breach of any of the covenants, terms and provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, this offer letter of employment with the Company, or any other agreement between you and the Company which is entered into after the date of this offer letter, (iv) your misrepresentation of any material fact to the Company or the Board, as determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, or (v) your willful and repeated failure to perform assigned duties or responsibilities as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, which failure is not corrected by you to the satisfaction of the Company within fifteen (15) days after written notice from the Board.

2. “Change in Control Transaction” shall mean a Change in Control, as defined in the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan.

3. “Good Reason” shall mean, without your written consent, (i) a material reduction of your duties or responsibilities relative to your duties or responsibilities in effect immediately prior to such reduction provided, however, that a reduction in duties or responsibilities solely by virtue of the Company being acquired and made part of a larger entity (as, for example, when the Chief Executive Officer of the Company remains as such following a Change in Control but is not made the Chief Executive Officer of the acquiring corporation) will not constitute “Good Reason”; (ii) a material reduction by the Company in your base salary as in effect immediately prior to such reduction, except for any such reductions which affect all similarly situated employees of the Company to the same degree; (iii) your relocation to a facility or a location more than fifty (50) miles from the Company’s Lehi office, or (iv) any material breach by the Company of this letter.  In order for you to resign for Good Reason, you must provide written notice to the Company of the existence of the Good Reason condition within 60 days of the initial existence of such Good Reason condition. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company will have 30 days during which it may remedy the Good Reason condition. If the Good Reason condition is not remedied within such 30-day period, you may resign based on the Good Reason condition specified in the notice effective no later than 30 days following the expiration of the 30-day cure period.

At-Will Employment: Your employment with the Company is “at-will.” In other words, either you or the Company can terminate your employment at any time for any reason, with or without cause and with or without notice, without liability except as expressly set forth in this letter. No representative of the Company has authority to enter into any agreement contrary to the foregoing “employment at will” relationship.

Acknowledgment and Acceptance of Amended and Restated Employment Offer

I accept continued employment with Owlet Baby Care Inc. and acknowledge and fully agree to the terms and conditions set forth in this amended and restated offer letter:

EXHIBIT A

The payment and benefits under the letter are intended to qualify for an exemption from application of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or comply with its requirements to the extent necessary to avoid adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code.  To the extent that any provision of the letter is ambiguous as to its exemption from or compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder are exempt from, or if not exempt from, comply with, Section 409A of the Code.

Anything in the letter to the contrary notwithstanding, if at the time of your separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, Owlet determines that you are a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any payment or benefit that you become entitled to under the letter on account of your separation from service would be considered deferred compensation subject to additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code, such payment shall not be payable and such benefit shall not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (A) six months and one day after your separation from service, or (B) your death.

Your right, if any, to receive installment payments pursuant to the letter shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments.

To the extent that any reimbursements payable pursuant to the letter are subject to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, any such reimbursements payable to you pursuant to the letter shall be paid to you no later than December 31 of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred, the amount of expenses reimbursed in one year shall not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement in any subsequent year, and your right to reimbursement under the letter will not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

Notwithstanding anything in the letter to the contrary, if any payment or distribution you would receive pursuant to this letter or otherwise (“Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then Owlet shall cause to be determined, before any amounts of the Payment are paid to you, which of the following alternative forms of payment would maximize your after-tax proceeds: (A) payment in full of the entire amount of the Payment or (B) payment of only a part of the Payment so that you receive that largest Payment possible without being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest marginal rate, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from a deduction of such state and local taxes), results in your receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Payment, notwithstanding that all or some portion the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If necessary, the specific Payments that shall be reduced will occur in the following order: (1) reduction of cash payments; (2) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards other than stock options; (3) cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock options; and (4) reduction of other benefits payable to you.  All determinations shall be made by such adviser as may be selected by Owlet, provided, that the adviser’s determination shall be made based upon “substantial authority” within the meaning of Section 6662 of the Code.  The adviser shall provide its determination, together with detailed supporting calculations and documentation, to you and Owlet within fifteen (15) business days following the date of termination of your employment, if applicable, or such other time as requested by you (provided, that you reasonably believe that any of the Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax) or Owlet.  All reasonable fees and expenses of the adviser in reaching such a determination shall be borne solely by Owlet.
