Aquila Guest Ranch, LLC ("AGR"), an entity owned by the family of our Chief
Executive Officer, Tony Aquila, owns a working guest ranch in Wyoming. Mr.
Aquila and AGR have supported the development of Solera Holdings, Inc. (the
"Company") and its subsidiaries by hosting numerous events at the ranch and, at
AGR's expense, renovating several facilities on the premises. The ranch been
used for various Company purposes, including: functions intended to foster
client, partner and vendor relations as well as business and corporate
development; global employee training and team building; management retreats;
and employee excellence awards.
Prior to February 11, 2013, the ranch was used by the Company without charge.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has determined that the
Company's use of the ranch in the past and going forward has been and is
beneficial to the Company's business. On February 11, 2013, the Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors approved entering into
a Facilities Use Agreement and an Indemnification Agreement between the Company
and AGR, which agreements govern the Company's use of the ranch.
Under the Facilities Use Agreement, the Company will pay AGR a fixed annual fee
of $140,000 for use of the facilities during 2013. The fee was determined by
multiplying the estimated daily operating costs of the ranch by an assumed
number of days that the Company will use the ranch, which use is based on
historical and expected future use. In approving the amount of the fee, the
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the independent members of the
Board considered the rates charged by comparable third-party facilities in the
vicinity of the ranch and determined that the Fee is lower than the amounts the
Company would pay for the use of such comparable facilities.
The Facilities Use Agreement will remain in effect until December 31, 2013
unless it is terminated or extended by its terms. The Facilities Use Agreement
automatically renews on an annual basis unless either party provides the other
party 30 days written notice of termination. Under the Facilities Use Agreement,
the Company is also obligated to pay out-of-pockets costs incurred in connection
with, and replenish expendable goods used as a result of the Company use of the
ranch. The Indemnification Agreement provides that the Company will indemnify
AGR and certain other indemnitees for any claims, demands, causes of action and
damages that may arise out of the Company's use of the ranch.
In accordance with the Audit Committee's charter, the Audit Committee will
periodically - and at least annually - review the Company's use of the ranch,
the fee, the Facilities Use Agreement and the Indemnification Agreement.
