INVITAE CORPORATION
2015 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
GLOBAL RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
						
	The Plan and Other Agreements	The Restricted Stock Unit Award you are receiving is granted pursuant and subject in all respects to the applicable provisions of the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Grant Notice”), this Global Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, including any additional terms and conditions for your country including in the appendix attached hereto (the “Appendix” and, together with the Global Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, this “Agreement”) and the Invitae Corporation 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (as may be amended from time to time, the “Plan”), which is incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan or the Grant Notice.
The Grant Notice, this Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding this Award. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning this Award are superseded. This Agreement may be amended by the Committee without your consent; however, if any such amendment would materially impair your rights or obligations under the Agreement, this Agreement may be amended only by another written agreement, signed by you and the Company.

	Payment for Restricted Stock Units	No cash payment is required for the Restricted Stock Units you receive.
	Vesting	The Restricted Stock Units that you are receiving will vest in one or more installments as provided in the Grant Notice.
No additional Restricted Stock Units will vest after your Service terminates for any reason. For the avoidance of doubt, Service during only a portion of the vesting schedule, but where your Service terminates prior to a vesting date, will not entitle you to vest in a pro-rata portion of the Restricted Stock Units.

	Forfeiture	If your Service terminates for any reason, then the Award expires immediately as to the number of Restricted Stock Units that have not vested before the termination date and do not vest as a result of termination.
This means that the unvested Restricted Stock Units will immediately be cancelled upon termination. You will receive no payment for Restricted Stock Units that are forfeited.
For purposes of the Restricted Stock Units, your Service will be considered terminated as of the date you are no longer actively providing services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or otherwise rendering services or the terms of your employment or other service agreement, if any) and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., your Service will not be extended by any contractual notice period or period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or otherwise rendering services or the terms of your employment or other service agreement, if any).  The Company shall have exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer actively providing services for purposes of the Restricted Stock Units (including when you are no longer considered to be in continued Service while on a leave of absence). 

	Leaves of Absence	For purposes of this Award, your Service does not terminate when you go on a bona fide leave of absence, if the leave of absence was approved by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates in writing and if continued participation in the Plan is required by the terms of the leave or by applicable law. However, your Service terminates when such leave ends, unless you immediately return to active work.
If you go on a leave of absence, then the vesting schedule specified in the Grant Notice may be adjusted in accordance with the Company’s leave of absence policy or the terms of your leave, to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you commence working on a part-time basis, then the vesting schedule specified in the Grant Notice may be adjusted in accordance with the Company’s part-time work policy or the terms of an agreement between you and the Company pertaining to your part-time schedule, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

	Nature of Restricted Stock Units	The Restricted Stock Units are mere bookkeeping entries. They represent only the Company’s unfunded and unsecured promise to issue Shares on a future date. As a holder of Restricted Stock Units, you have no rights other than the rights of a general creditor of the Company.
	No Voting Rights or Dividends	The Restricted Stock Units carry neither voting rights nor rights to dividends. You, or your estate or heirs, have no rights as a stockholder of the Company unless and until the Restricted Stock Units are settled by issuing Shares. No adjustments will be made for dividends or other rights if the applicable record date occurs before your Shares are issued, except as described in the Plan.
	Restricted Stock Units Nontransferable	You may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of any Restricted Stock Units. For instance, you may not use the Restricted Stock Units as security for a loan. If you attempt to do any of these things, the Restricted Stock Units will immediately become invalid.
	Settlement of Restricted Stock Units	Each of your Restricted Stock Units will be settled when it vests; provided, however, that settlement of each Restricted Stock Unit will generally be deferred to the first permissible trading day for the Shares following the applicable vesting date, but in no event later than December 31 of the calendar year in which the applicable vesting date occurs.
For purposes of this Agreement, “permissible trading day” means a day that satisfies all of the following requirements: (a) the exchange on which the Shares are traded is open for trading on that day; (b) you are permitted to sell Shares on that day without incurring liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, (c) either (i) you are not in possession of material non-public information that would make it illegal for you to sell Shares on that day under Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act or (ii) Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act would apply to the sale; (d) you are permitted to sell Shares on that day under such written insider trading policy as may have been adopted by the Company; and (e) you are not prohibited from selling Shares on that day by a written agreement between you and the Company or a third party.
At the time of settlement, you will receive one Share for each vested Restricted Stock Unit; provided, however, that no fractional Shares will be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or this Agreement, and the Committee will determine whether cash will be paid in lieu of any fractional Share or whether such fractional Share and any rights thereto will be canceled, terminated or otherwise eliminated.

	Compliance with Law	Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan or this Agreement, unless there is an available exemption from registration, qualification or other legal requirement applicable to the Shares, the Company shall not be required to issue any Shares to you prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the Shares under any U.S. or non-U.S. state or federal securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or of any other governmental body, or prior to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any U.S. or non-U.S. local, state or federal governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable.  You understand that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the Shares with any U.S. or non-U.S. state or federal securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of the Shares.  Further, you agree that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend this Agreement without your consent to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws applicable to the issuance of Shares.

	Responsibility for Taxes	Regardless of any action the Company and/or the Subsidiary or Affiliate employing you (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable or deemed legally applicable to you (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company and/or the Employer. You further acknowledge that the Company and the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including, but not limited to, the grant or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement or the receipt of any dividends; and (2)  do not commit to, and are under no obligation to, structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  If you are subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. 
Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you agree to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy any withholding obligations with regard to Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (a) withholding from your salary, wages or other cash compensation payable to you by the Company and/or the Employer, (b) withholding Shares otherwise issuable in connection with the vesting/settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, (c) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon settlement either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent), or (d) any other method determined by the Company to be in compliance with applicable laws. 
The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering statutory or other withholding rates, including minimum or maximum rates applicable in your jurisdiction(s).  In the event of over-withholding, you may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in Shares, or, if not refunded, you may be able to seek a refund from the applicable tax authorities.  In the event of under-withholding, you may be required to pay additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authorities.  If the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, you will be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of Shares is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items. 
Finally, you shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of your participation in the Plan or your acquisition of Shares that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  The Company may refuse to deliver the Shares or proceeds from the sale of Shares, if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this section, and your rights to the Shares shall be forfeited if you do not comply with such obligations on or before December 31 of the calendar year in which the applicable vesting date for the Restricted Stock Units occurs.

	Restrictions on Resale; Insider Trading / Market Abuse Laws
	You agree not to sell any Shares at a time when applicable laws, Company policies or an agreement between the Company and its underwriters prohibit a sale. This restriction will apply as long as your Service continues and for such period of time after the termination of your Service as the Company may specify. 
You understand that you may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws in applicable jurisdictions, including but not limited to your country, the broker’s country and the country in which the Shares are listed, which may affect your ability, directly or indirectly, to accept, acquire, sell or attempt to sell, or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to Shares (e.g., Restricted Stock Units) or rights linked to the value of Shares, during such times as you are considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in the applicable jurisdiction(s)). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancelation or amendment of orders you placed before possessing the inside information. Furthermore, you understand that you may be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party, including fellow employees (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties by sharing with them Company inside information, or otherwise causing third parties to buy or sell Company securities. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to restrictions that may apply to you under the Company’s insider trading policy. It is your responsibility to comply with the Company’s insider trading policy and any applicable regulatory trading restrictions. You should consult with your personal legal advisor on this matter. 

	Exchange Control, Foreign Asset/Account and/or Tax Reporting	Depending on the country to which laws you are subject, there may be certain foreign asset/account and/or tax reporting requirements which may affect your ability to acquire or hold Shares or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends paid on Shares or sale proceeds arising from the sale of Shares) in a brokerage or bank account outside your country. You may also be required to report such accounts, assets or related transactions to the tax or other authorities in your country. You may also be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of your participation in the Plan to your country within a certain time after receipt. It is your responsibility to comply with such regulations and you should speak to your personal legal advisor regarding this matter.
	Language	You acknowledge that you are sufficiently proficient in English, or have consulted with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient in English, so as to allow you to understand the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you have received this Agreement or any other document(s) related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.
	Imposition of Other Requirements	The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on your participation in the Plan and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, if the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administration reasons, and to require you to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

	Successors and Assigns	Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or this Agreement, every term of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors, transferees and assigns.
	Notice	Any notice required or permitted under this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon the earliest of personal delivery, receipt or the third full day following mailing with postage and fees prepaid, addressed to the other party hereto at: (i) if such notice is given by the Company, the address then listed in the Company’s records, (ii) if such notice is given by you, the address of the Company’s headquarters, or (iii) at such other address as a receiving party may designate by ten (10) days’ advance written notice to the other party hereto.
	Section 409A of the Code	To the extent this Agreement is subject to and not exempt from Section 409A of the Code, this Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and its provisions shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent. You acknowledge and agree that changes may be made to this Agreement to avoid adverse tax consequences to you under Section 409A.
	Governing Law and Choice of Venue	This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to its choice-of-law provisions). For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises directly or indirectly from the relationship of the parties evidenced by this Award or the Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State of California and agree that such litigation shall be conducted only in the courts of San Francisco County, California, or the federal courts for the United States for the Northern District of California, and no other courts, where this grant is made and/or to be performed.

	Waiver	You acknowledge that a waiver by the Company of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by you or any other participant.
	Data Privacy	You hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this Agreement and any other grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Company, the Employer and any other Subsidiary or Affiliate for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.  You understand and acknowledge that the Company, the Employer and other Subsidiaries and Affiliates hold certain personal information about you, including (without limitation) your name, home address, email address, telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other government identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company and details of all equity awards or any other entitlements to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor (the “Data”) for the purpose of implementing, managing and administering your participation in the Plan.  You further understand and acknowledge that the Company, the Employer and the other Subsidiaries and/or Affiliates will transfer Data among themselves as necessary for the exclusive purpose of implementation, administration and management of your participation in the Plan and that the Company, the Employer and/or any Subsidiary or Affiliate may each further transfer Data to E*TRADE Financial Services, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (“E*TRADE”) and certain of its affiliates or such other third party, which are assisting the Company (or may assist the Company in the future) in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. You understand and acknowledge that the recipients of Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the laws of a recipient’s country of operation (e.g., the United States) may not have equivalent privacy protections as local laws where you reside or work. If you reside outside the United States, you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting Privacy@Invitae.com. You authorize the Company, E*TRADE and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan. Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan. If you reside outside the United States, you may at any time view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local human resources representative. Further, you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If you do not consent, or if you later seek to revoke your consent, your Service and career with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing your consent is that the Company would not be able to grant you this Award or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, you understand that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact Privacy@Invitae.com.

Responsibility for Taxes.  The following provisions supplement the “Responsibility for Taxes” section of the Global Restricted Stock Unit Agreement:


Without limitation to the “Responsibility for Taxes” section of the Global Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, you agree that you are liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenant to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Company, the Employer or by Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).  You also agree to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority) on your behalf.


Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), you understand that you may not be able to indemnify the Company or the Employer for the amount of any Tax-Related Items not collected from or paid by you if the indemnification could be considered to be a loan.

You understand that you will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for paying to the Company and/or the Employer (as appropriate) the amount of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which may also be recovered from you by any of
