 EXHIBIT 10.24 
 2011 IMPERVA COMPENSATION PLAN 
 Objectives: 

 

	•	 	 Reward strong performance against quotas through significant upside potential. 



 

	•	 	 Drive new product, maintenance, professional services and training bookings. 



 

	•	 	 Penetrate new accounts and win market share. 


  

	•	 	 Improve customer satisfaction by leveraging multi-year and premium maintenance options. 



Plan Participation: 
 This plan
applies to member of the Imperva Sales Organization. This plan is effective from January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011, and supersedes participation in other Imperva bonus or commission plans. 

Compensation Plan Guidelines: 
  

	•	 	 Sales Territory Assignments – You will be assigned a sales territory consisting of a specific geographical area, product(s) and/or
services, specific accounts or partners, distribution channel or some combination thereof. All territory assignments are made at Imperva’s sole discretion and can be modified at any time by Imperva sales management. All territory assignments
must be approved by the VP Worldwide Sales. 


  

	•	 	 Quotas – You will be assigned, in writing, one or more Quotas that will be identified and communicated to you in your Goals
Acknowledgement Form (GAF). Your performance against the individual sales Quota(s) set forth in your GAF will, in conjunction with other goals and objectives assigned by management, serve as a basis for measuring your overall performance.



 Quota targets are allocated based on regional track designation. Track designation will determine start and
end of each period and number of periods annually. Tiered commission rates will be applied by period, exceeding quota qualifies for rate acceleration. See GAF for details. 
 Employees that are newly hired or transfer into an eligible commission-based sales position from a non-commissionable one mid-quarter receive a prorated quota and commission target for that quarter as
outlined in the table below: 
  

			
	 Hire / Transfer Date
	  	 Prorated Quota / Commission Target

	
1st of the month
	  	100% for that month
	
2nd through the 15th of the month
	  	50% for that month
	 After the 15th of the month
	  	0%

	•	 	 Commissions are uncapped unless the total deal size is over $5,000,000 USD per RSD involved. In this case the VP of Sales and VP Finance shall
determine quota and commission. 


  

	•	 	 Commissions and quota retirement shall be earned on maintenance only in cases where it is sold as part of a product order. Maintenance Renewals do not
retire quota but may earn limited commissions from time to time and are subject to VP of Sales Operations approval. However, in the case of Director’s of Strategic Accounts and the corresponding Sales Engineer, Maintenance Renewals will retire
quota and earn commissions. 


  

	•	 	 Commission rates accelerate as quota attainment per period increases. Accelerated commission rates apply incrementally, not cumulatively.



  

	•	 	 Commissions earned in all cases are calculated based on net revenue (amount less commission/referral/royalty paid to partners/finders fees).



  

	•	 	 Discounting guidelines outlined in the then current Imperva discount policy must be adhered to in order to earn quota and commission credit, unless
otherwise approved by the VP Worldwide Sales. 


  

	•	 	 Term Licenses, Rentals and Multi-year Maintenance or SOC Services Contracts commission and quota credit is given when billable.



  

	•	 	 Should a multi-year contract have a cancellation clause or “out”, then only the portion of the contract considered “firm” shall be
credited to Employee. 


  

	•	 	 Special Quarterly Incentives Rules – Imperva sales management, at its discretion, may occasionally run special quarterly incentive programs. The
terms of this agreement apply to the special programs and take precedence when program rules contradict. 


  

	•	 	 Each member of the Imperva sales team will be required to sign the following document each time the plan is updated to participate in this plan:



  

	 	•	 	 An individualized “Goals Acknowledgement Form (GAF)” (Exhibit 1) 



 

	•	 	 Each member of the Field or Corporate Sales teams will be required to sign a certification document quarterly prior to receiving end of quarter
commission payments. This certification states that there have been no intentionally false or misleading statements, entries, omissions, commitments or other contingencies made on behalf of the Company which have not been reported to the finance or
legal departments. 


  

	•	 	 Commissions are deemed earned when bookings are billable per Imperva’s “Revenue Recognition Policy” which can be found on the Compass
under Finance/ Financial Information and the Employee has signed and returned are required documents stated above. Imperva reserves the right to hold commission payments until the GAF is signed (unchanged) by Employee. Also no commissions shall be
paid for any transaction that is inconsistent with or is contrary to the terms and conditions of Imperva’s revenue recognition policies or the terms and conditions of the applicable authorized agreement(s). 



 

	•	 	 Shared Hosting Bookings. 


  

	 	•	 	 When shared products are rented or purchased including any associated services, the following positions will receive commission and quota credit:




  

					
	2 of 7	 		 	










	 	•	 	 Corporate Sales and Corporate Sales Management, MSSP Director, Sales AVP’s, RVP’s, VP’s and SVP. 



Splits 
  

	•	 	 Split distribution will not to exceed 100% of total booking. This will be determined on a case-by-case basis according to the selling level of effort.
Commission and Quota credit will be split in accordance with the following guidelines unless a previously written agreement approved by the appropriate RVP(s) specifies otherwise: 



 

	 	•	 	 25% of the portion of the transaction pertaining to the installation location(s) is credited to the team that supports the installation
location(s) provided the install site(s) requires local sales support including customer calls, coordination of PS, education and training. The remainder of the transaction is credited to the team that is responsible for the primary selling effort
which includes identifying the opportunity, qualifying the lead, developing the proposal, negotiating the deal and securing a signed purchase order. 


  

	 	•	 	 For large enterprise customers that have multiple divisions or subsidiaries, a transaction will be split 25% to the team that owns the corporate
relationship when the primary selling effort (i.e. lead qualification, development, negotiation, etc.) occurs at the installation site(s). This assumes that the customer’s headquarters location requires sales support. If no sales support is
required at the headquarters location then 100% of the transaction will be credited to the team that supports the installation location(s). 


  

	•	 	 All sales efforts by you or your channel partners outside of your territory must be approved in advance by your Regional VP of Sales and the VP Sales
Operations. WITHOUT ADVANCE APPROVAL TO PURSUE A DEAL OUTSIDE OF YOUR TERRITORY OR WITHOUT PRIOR NOTIFICATION THAT YOUR CHANNEL PARTNER HAS ENGAGED IN A DEAL OUTSIDE OF YOUR TERRITORY, YOU MAY POTENTIALLY FORFEIT ANY COMMISSION OR QUOTA CREDIT
RELATED TO THAT DEAL. 


  

	•	 	 The VP of Worldwide Sales, in his/her sole discretion, may revise an individual split agreement or the policy at any time.

based on the license price minus the royalty, discount(s), or out of the ordinary costs specific to the individual contract. 


  

	•	 	 Conditional Orders (Try and Buys) – Commissions earned on all conditional bookings are paid when: 



 

	 	•	 	 Contractually required written acceptance (by email or any other written communication) from customer is received by Imperva’s Finance via the

future commissions due the Employee pursuant to this Plan, or in the event of a terminating employee, out of any other moneys due to the employee at Imperva’s sole option. 



 

	•	 	 Commission Errors – Employees will promptly report any unearned commissions that have been paid by Imperva in error. All commission errors

will determine the time frame for when the account is assigned to the new sales person and becomes commissionable. 


  

	•	 	 Change in Job Status – In the event of a transfer, leave of absence, or promotion, the employee shall receive commissions earned prior to

of the change in job status. 


  

	•	 	 Termination of Employment – Payment will be made on commissions earned by the employee prior to his/her termination date (the last day
