Document

This Advisor Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of September 30, 2020 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Yext, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Yext”), and the individual named on the signature page of this Agreement (“Advisor”). Yext desires to retain Advisor as an independent contractor to serve as an advisor to perform certain advisory services for Yext and to serve on Yext’s advisory board (the “Advisory Board”), and Advisor is willing to perform such services, on terms set forth more fully below. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to amend or modify any term or condition contained in the Yext, Inc. Employee Proprietary Information, Inventions, and Covenants Agreement signed by Advisor on December 26, 2016. In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

a.Yext hereby engages Advisor to provide the Services (as defined below), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and Advisor accepts said engagement upon said terms and subject to said conditions. For avoidance of doubt, the Services provided by Advisor pursuant to this Agreement are continuous following termination of Advisor’s employment with Yext.

b.Advisor shall (i) perform Advisor’s duties and obligations under this Agreement with good faith and integrity, (ii) serve as a member of the Yext Advisory Board in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (iii) perform the services as listed in Exhibit A (collectively clauses (i) through (iii), the “Services”).

c.Advisor’s initial term of service will be 1-year, which Advisor and Yext may agree to extend at the end of each term for an additional term, each in their sole discretion. Advisor’s service as an Advisor is as an independent contractor. Yext is free to terminate the relationship with Advisor at any time, for any reason, or for no reason. If for any reason, or no reason, Yext terminates Advisor’s status as an Advisor, all vesting of shares pursuant to the RSU Award (as described below in Section 2(A)) will cease and Yext will terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.

a.In exchange for Advisor’s service, Yext will grant, subject to approval of the Board of Directors of Yext, an award of 50,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under, and subject to, the terms and conditions of the Yext, Inc. 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, as well as the terms and conditions of the applicable RSU Grant Agreement, which will be provided to Advisor as soon as practicable after the grant date and which Advisor will be required to sign or accept in accordance with the Yext's acceptance procedures (the “RSU Award”). The RSU award shall vest in its entirety on September 20, 2021, subject to Advisor’s ongoing performance of the Services until such date.

b.Expenses. Yext shall reimburse Advisor for reasonable expenses incurred by Advisor in connection with Advisor’s duties and responsibilities hereunder, including without limitation any longdistance travel costs (transportation, lodging and meals) and telephone expenses incurred in providing services, in each case to the extent the expenses comply with and are submitted to Yext’s then current Travel and Expense policy.

c.Other Compensation. Except for the reimbursement of expenses pursuant to Section 2(B) and the RSU Award described in Section 2(A), Advisor shall not be entitled to any other compensation or consideration pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise in connection with Advisor’s engagement to serve as an Advisor or Advisor’s duties or obligations relating thereto, including, without limitation, performing the Services and travel time.

d.Previous Service as Employee. Advisor understands and acknowledges that his last day as an employee of Yext will be September 30, 2020. Advisor further acknowledges and agrees that the end of his employment with Yext is voluntary and without Good Reason, as such term is defined in the Yext, Inc. Change of Control and Severance Plan (the “Severance Plan”). Accordingly, Advisor acknowledges that he is not entitled to any benefits under the Severance Plan and will no longer be a participant in the Severance Plan as of the termination of his employment. Advisor further acknowledges that, notwithstanding the continuous services provided pursuant to this Agreement, he has agreed to forfeit any and all RSUs and/or Stock Options that were granted by Yext but not yet vested as of the termination of his employment with Yext, as detailed in the Equity Award Forfeiture Agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Yext, and shall not be entitled to any compensation and/or benefits as an employee of Yext after September 30, 2020.
