ENDOLOGIX, INC.

2006 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN





	I.	 	PURPOSE OF THE PLAN





          This 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan is intended to promote the interests of Endologix, Inc.
by providing eligible employees with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the
Corporation through participation in a payroll-deduction based employee stock purchase plan
designed to qualify under Section 423 of the Code.




          Capitalized terms herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the attached
Appendix.





	II.	 	ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN





          The Plan Administrator shall have full authority to interpret and construe any provision of
the Plan and to adopt such rules and regulations for administering the Plan as it may deem
necessary in order to comply with the requirements of Code Section 423. Decisions of the Plan
Administrator shall be final and binding on all parties having an interest in the Plan.





	III.	 	STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN





          A. The stock purchasable under the Plan shall be shares of authorized but unissued or
reacquired Common Stock, including shares of Common Stock purchased on the open market. The
maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued over the term of the Plan shall not
exceed the sum of: (i) 250,000 shares; plus (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock remaining
available for issuance under the Endologix, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan as of July 31, 2006.




          B. Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the
outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration, appropriate
adjustments shall be made to (i) the maximum number and class of securities issuable under the
Plan, and (ii) the number and class of securities and the price per share in effect under each
outstanding purchase right in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of benefits thereunder.





	IV.	 	OFFERING PERIODS





          A. Shares of Common Stock shall be offered for purchase under the Plan through a series of
successive Offering Periods until such time as (i) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock
available for issuance under the Plan shall have been purchased or (ii) the Plan shall have been
sooner terminated.




          B. The Initial Offering Period shall commence on the first business day in August 2006 and
terminate on the last business day in December 2006. Each Offering Period thereafter shall be
a six-month period from January 1 through June 30 and from July 1 through December 31.




          C. The Purchase Date shall be the last day of each Offering Period. The initial Purchase Date
shall be the last business day in December 2006.

	V.	 	ELIGIBILITY





          Commencing August 1, 2006:




          A. Each individual who is an Eligible Employee on the start date of any Offering Period under
the Plan may enter that Offering Period on such start date, provided he or she remains an Eligible
Employee.




          B. Each individual who first becomes an Eligible Employee after the start date of an Offering
Period may enter on the start date of the Offering Period that commences immediately after the date
such individual first became an Eligible Employee, provided he or she remains an Eligible Employee.




          C. To participate in the Plan for a particular Offering Period, the Eligible Employee must
complete the enrollment forms prescribed by the Plan Administrator (including a stock purchase
agreement and a payroll deduction authorization) and file such forms with the Plan Administrator
(or its designate) on or before the start date of such Offering Period.





	VI.	 	PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS





          A. The payroll deduction authorized by the Participant for purposes of acquiring shares of
Common Stock during an Offering Period may be any multiple of one percent (1%) of the Compensation
paid to the Participant during each Offering Period within that Offering Period, up to a maximum of
ten percent (10%). The deduction rate so authorized shall continue in effect throughout the
Offering Period, except to the extent such rate is changed in accordance with the following
guidelines:




                    1. The Participant may, at any time during the Offering Period, reduce his or her rate of
payroll deduction to become effective as soon as possible after filing the appropriate form with
the Plan Administrator. The Participant may not, however, effect more than one (1) such reduction
per Offering Period.



                    2. The Participant may, at any time during any Offering Period, increase the rate of his or
her payroll deduction by filing the appropriate form with the Plan Administrator. The new rate
(which may not exceed the ten percent (10%) maximum) shall become effective on the start date of
the first Offering Period following the filing of such form.



          B. Payroll deductions shall begin on the first pay day following the start date of the
Offering Period with respect to which an Eligible Employee elects to participate and shall (unless
sooner terminated by the Participant) continue through the pay day ending with or immediately prior
to the last day of that Offering Period. The amounts so collected shall be credited to the
Participant’s book account under the Plan, but no interest shall be paid on the balance from time
to time outstanding in such account. The amounts collected from the Participant shall not be held
in any segregated account or trust fund and may be commingled with the general assets of the
Corporation and used for general corporate purposes.




          C. Payroll deductions shall automatically cease upon the termination of the Participant’s
purchase right in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

          D. The Participant’s acquisition of Common Stock under the Plan on any Purchase Date shall
neither limit nor require the Participant’s acquisition of Common Stock on any subsequent Purchase
Date, whether within the same or a different Offering Period.





	VII.	 	PURCHASE RIGHTS





          A. Grant of Purchase Right; Grant Date. A Participant shall be granted a separate purchase
right for each Offering Period in which he or she participates. The purchase right shall be
granted on the Grant Date and shall provide the Participant with the right to purchase shares of
Common Stock, in a series of successive installments over the remainder of such Offering Period,
upon the terms set forth below. The Participant shall execute a stock purchase agreement embodying
such terms and such other provisions (not inconsistent with the Plan) as the Plan Administrator may
deem advisable.




          Under no circumstances shall purchase rights be granted under the Plan to any Eligible
Employee if such individual would, immediately after the grant, own (within the meaning of Code
Section 424(d)) or hold outstanding options or other rights to purchase, stock possessing five
percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the
Corporation or any Corporate Affiliate.




          B. Exercise of the Purchase Right. Each purchase right shall be automatically exercised on
each Purchase Date, and shares of Common Stock shall accordingly be purchased on behalf of each
Participant (other than Participants whose payroll deductions have previously been refunded
pursuant to the Termination of Purchase Right provisions below) on each such Purchase Date. The
purchase shall be effected by applying the Participant’s payroll deductions for the Offering Period
ending on such Purchase Date to the purchase of whole shares of Common Stock at the purchase price
in effect for the Participant for that Purchase Date.




          C. Purchase Price. The purchase price per share at which Common Stock will be purchased on
the Participant’s behalf on each Purchase Date shall not be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of
the lower of (i) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the Grant Date with respect to
that Offering Period or (ii) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on that Purchase Date.




          D. Number of Purchasable Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock purchasable by a
Participant on each Purchase Date shall be the number of whole shares obtained by dividing the
amount collected from the Participant through payroll deductions during the Offering Period ending
with that Purchase Date by the purchase price in effect for the Participant for that Purchase Date.




          E. Excess Payroll Deductions. Any payroll deductions not applied to the purchase of shares of
Common Stock on any Purchase Date because they are not sufficient to purchase a whole share of
Common Stock shall be held for the purchase of Common Stock on the next Purchase Date. However,
any payroll deductions not applied to the purchase of Common Stock by reason of the limitation on
the maximum number of shares purchasable by the Participant on the Purchase Date shall be promptly
refunded.




          F. Termination of Purchase Right. The following provisions shall govern the termination of
outstanding purchase rights:




3









 








                    1. A Participant may, at any time prior to the next scheduled Purchase Date, terminate his or
her outstanding purchase right by filing the appropriate form with the Plan Administrator (or its
designate), and no further payroll deductions shall be collected from the Participant with respect
to the terminated purchase right. Any payroll deductions collected during the Offering Period in
which such termination occurs shall, at the Participant’s election, be immediately refunded or held
for the purchase of shares on the next Purchase Date. If no such election is made at the time such
purchase right is terminated, then the payroll deductions collected with respect to the terminated
right shall be refunded as soon as possible.



                    2. The termination of such purchase right shall be irrevocable, and the Participant may not
subsequently rejoin the Offering Period for which the terminated purchase right was granted. In
order to resume participation in any subsequent Offering Period, such individual must re-enroll in
the Plan (by making a timely filing of the prescribed enrollment forms) on or before the start date
of such Offering Period.



                    3. Should the Participant cease to remain an Eligible Employee for any reason (including
death, disability or change in status) while his or her purchase right remains outstanding, then
that purchase right shall immediately terminate, and all of the Participant’s payroll deductions
for the Offering Period in which the purchase right so terminates shall be immediately refunded.
However, should the Participant cease to remain in active service by reason of an approved unpaid
leave of absence, then the Participant shall have the right, exercisable up until the last business
day of the Offering Period in which such leave commences, to (a) withdraw all the payroll
deductions collected to date on his or her behalf for that Offering Period or (b) have such funds
held for the purchase of shares on his or her behalf on the next scheduled Purchase Date. In no
event, however, shall any further payroll deductions be collected on the Participant’s behalf
during such leave. Upon the Participant’s return to active service, his or her payroll deductions
under the Plan shall automatically resume at the rate in effect at the time the leave began, unless
the Participant withdraws from the Plan prior to his or her return.



          G. Corporate Transaction. Each outstanding purchase right shall automatically be exercised,
immediately prior to the effective date of any Corporate Transaction, by applying the payroll
deductions of each Participant for the Offering Period in which such Corporate Transaction occurs
to the purchase of whole shares of Common Stock at a purchase price per share not less than
eighty-five percent (85%) of the lower of (i) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on
the Grant Date of the Offering Period in which such Corporate Transaction occurs or (ii) the Fair
Market Value per share of Common Stock immediately prior to the effective date of such Corporate
Transaction.




          The Corporation shall use its best efforts to provide at least ten (10) days prior written
notice of the occurrence of any Corporate Transaction, and Participants shall, following the
receipt of such notice, have the right to terminate their outstanding purchase rights prior to the
effective date of the Corporate Transaction.




          H. Proration of Purchase Rights. Should the total number of shares of Common Stock to be
purchased pursuant to outstanding purchase rights on any particular date exceed the number of
shares then available for issuance under the Plan, the Plan Administrator shall make a pro-rata
allocation of the available shares on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis, and the payroll
deductions of each Participant, to the extent in excess of the aggregate purchase price payable for
the Common Stock pro-rated to such individual, shall be refunded.




4









 








          I. Assignability. The purchase right shall be exercisable only by the Participant and shall
not be assignable or transferable by the Participant.




          J. Stockholder Rights. A Participant shall have no stockholder rights with respect to the
shares subject to his or her outstanding purchase right until the shares are purchased on the
Participant’s behalf in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the Participant has become a
holder of record of the purchased shares.





	VIII.	 	ACCRUAL LIMITATIONS





          A. No Participant shall be entitled to accrue rights to acquire Common Stock pursuant to any
purchase right outstanding under this Plan if and to the extent such accrual, when aggregated with
(i) rights to purchase Common Stock accrued under any other purchase right granted under this Plan
and (ii) similar rights accrued under other employee stock purchase plans (within the meaning of
Code Section 423) of the Corporation or any Corporate Affiliate, would otherwise permit such
Participant to purchase more than Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) worth of stock of the
Corporation or any Corporate Affiliate (determined on the basis of the Fair Market Value per share
on the Grant Date) for each calendar year such rights are at any time outstanding.




          B. For purposes of applying such accrual limitations to the purchase rights granted under the
Plan, the following provisions shall be in effect:




                    1. The right to acquire Common Stock under each outstanding purchase right shall accrue in a
series of installments on each successive Purchase Date during the Offering Period on which such
right remains outstanding.



                    2. No right to acquire Common Stock under any outstanding purchase right shall accrue to the
extent the Participant has already accrued in the same calendar year the right to acquire Common
Stock under one (1) or more other purchase rights at a rate equal to Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars
($25,000) worth of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the Fair Market Value per share on the
Grant Date) for each calendar year such rights were at any time outstanding.



          C. If by reason of such accrual limitations, any purchase right of a Participant does not
accrue for a particular Offering Period, then the payroll deductions which the Participant made
during that Offering Period with respect to such purchase right shall be promptly refunded.




          D. In the event there is any conflict between the provisions of this Article and one or more
provisions of the Plan or any instrument issued thereunder, the provisions of this Article shall be
controlling.
