acceptance of this offer.

Your salary will be paid at an initial annualized rate of $375,000. You will be

you leave Insulet within one year of your hire date you will be responsible for
repayment of this bonus on a prorata basis. You will participate in the
Company’s Executive Incentive Compensation Program with a target bonus of 60% of
your annual base compensation. Executive Compensation is reviewed annually, and
your next formal performance and compensation review will occur in Q1 2015
covering the 2014 performance year.

You will be eligible to participate in the Company’s benefits programs to the
same extent as, and subject to the same terms, conditions and limitations
applicable to, other employees of the Company of similar rank and tenure. These
benefits presently include: comprehensive medical, prescription drug, and dental
