Amended and Restated Executive Corporate Transaction and Severance Benefit Plan



 Exhibit 10.1 
 iPASS INC. 
 AMENDED AND RESTATED EXECUTIVE CORPORATE TRANSACTION AND
SEVERANCE 
 BENEFIT PLAN 
 SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION. 
 The iPass Inc. Executive
Corporate Transaction and Severance Benefit Plan (the “Plan”) was initially established effective August 9th, 2007 and subsequently amended and restated effective December 23, 2008. The Plan is hereby amended
and restated effective June 29, 2011 (the “Amendment Effective Date”). If a Participant experienced a Covered Termination (as such term is defined below) prior to the Amendment Effective Date, the provisions of the
Plan in effect at the time of such Covered Termination shall govern. The purpose of the Plan is to provide for the payment of severance benefits to certain eligible executive employees of iPass Inc. (the “Company”) or its
Affiliates (as such term is defined below) in the event that such employees are subject to qualifying employment terminations, and additional benefits if such qualifying employment terminations occur within eighteen (18) months following a
Change in Control (as such term is defined below). In addition, Section 7 below provides certain benefits upon the consummation of a Change in Control without regard to a qualifying employment termination. This Plan shall supersede
any generally applicable severance or change in control plan, policy, or practice, whether written or unwritten, with respect to each employee who becomes a Participant in the Plan. For the purposes of the foregoing sentence, a generally
applicable severance or change in control plan, policy or practice is a plan, policy or practice in which benefits are not conditioned upon (i) being designated a participant, (ii) receiving an award such as a stock option, or
(iii) the employee electing to participate. This Plan shall not supersede any individually negotiated employment contract or agreement, or any written plans that are not of general application, and, except as set forth in the Participation
Notice, such Participant’s severance benefit, if any, shall be governed by the terms of such individually negotiated employment contract, agreement, or written plan, and shall be governed by this Plan only to the extent that the reduction
pursuant to Section 5(b) below does not entirely eliminate benefits under this Plan. This document also constitutes the Summary Plan Description for the Plan. 
 SECTION 2. DEFINITIONS. 
 For purposes of the Plan,
except as set forth in an applicable Participation Notice, the following terms are defined as follows: 

(a) “Affiliate” means a “parent corporation” of the Company or a “subsidiary
corporation” of the Company (whether now or hereafter existing), as those terms are defined in Sections 424(e) and (f), respectively, of the Code. 
 (b) “Base Salary” means the Participant’s monthly base pay (excluding incentive pay, premium pay, commissions, overtime, bonuses and other forms of variable
compensation). 
 (c) “Board” means the Board of Directors of iPass Inc. 

(d) “Cause” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following (and only the following):
(i) conviction of the Participant of any felony involving fraud or act of dishonesty against the Company or its Affiliates; (ii) conduct by the Participant which, based upon good faith and reasonable factual investigation and determination
of the Board, demonstrates gross unfitness to serve; or (iii) intentional, material violation by the Participant of any contractual, statutory, or fiduciary duty of the Participant to the Company or its Affiliates. 

(e) “Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events; provided the
event also constitutes a “change in the ownership or effective control or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(i)(5): 

(i) any Exchange Act Person becomes the Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than fifty
percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities other than by virtue of a merger, consolidation or similar transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a








 
Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur (A) on account of the acquisition of securities of the Company by an institutional investor, any affiliate thereof or any other Exchange Act
Person that acquires the Company’s securities in a transaction or series of related transactions that are primarily a private financing transaction for the Company or (B) solely because the level of Ownership held by any Exchange Act
Person (the “Subject Person”) exceeds the designated percentage threshold of the outstanding voting securities as a result of a repurchase or other acquisition of voting securities by the Company reducing the number of shares outstanding,
provided that if a Change in Control would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as a result of the acquisition of voting securities by the Company, and after such share acquisition, the Subject Person becomes the Owner of any additional
voting securities that, assuming the repurchase or other acquisition had not occurred, increases the percentage of the then outstanding voting securities Owned by the Subject Person over the designated percentage threshold, then a Change in Control
shall be deemed to occur; 
 (ii) there is consummated a merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving (directly or
indirectly) the Company if, immediately after the consummation of such merger, consolidation or similar transaction, the stockholders of the Company immediately prior thereto do not Own, directly or indirectly, either (A) outstanding voting
securities representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined outstanding voting power of the surviving Entity in such merger, consolidation or similar transaction or (B) more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined
outstanding voting power of the parent of the surviving Entity in such merger, consolidation or similar transaction; 
 (iii)
there is consummated a sale, lease, license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, other than a sale, lease, license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
consolidated assets of the Company and its Affiliates to an Entity, more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are Owned by stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportion as
their Ownership of the Company immediately prior to such sale, lease, license or other disposition; or

who, on the date this Plan is adopted by the Board, are members of the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the members of the Board; (provided, however, that if the appointment or
election (or nomination for election) of any new Board member was approved or recommended by a majority vote of the members of the Incumbent Board then still in office, such new member shall, for purposes of this Plan, be considered as a member of
the Incumbent Board); or 
 Once a Change in Control has occurred, no future events shall constitute a Change in Control for
purposes of the Plan. Furthermore, no event shall be treated as a Change in Control under the Plan if the Participants in the Plan immediately prior to such event hold a majority of the voting power of the outstanding securities of the Company or
the surviving or acquiring corporation immediately following such event.

Reason is undertaken by the Company or occurs and such termination results in a “separation from service” with the Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) (without regard to any permissible alternative
definition of “termination of employment” thereunder). 







 (k) “Covered Termination” means either (i) an
Involuntary Termination Without Cause, or (ii) a Constructive Termination. Termination of employment of a Participant due to death or disability shall not constitute a Covered Termination unless a voluntary termination of employment by the
Participant immediately prior to the Participant’s death or disability would have qualified as a Constructive Termination. The foregoing notwithstanding, the following events shall not constitute a Covered Termination: (i) the
Participant resigns his or her employment with the Company in order to accept employment with another entity that is controlled (directly or indirectly) by the Company or is otherwise an Affiliate of the Company; (ii) the Participant’s
employment is terminated, but the Participant is subsequently rehired within 32 days after such termination of employment by the Company or an Affiliate for a Substantially Equivalent or Comparable Position as the Participant’s last position
with the Company or an Affiliate; and (iii) in connection with a Change in Control, the Participant’s employment is terminated but prior to such termination the Participant is offered but does not accept a Substantially Equivalent or
Comparable Position with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company or the entity acquiring the Company or its assets pursuant to the Change in Control.

Company or any subsidiary of the Company or any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, (C) an underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an
offering of such securities, or (D) an Entity Owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their Ownership of stock of the Company. 

(p) “Good Reason” shall mean any of the following actions or events: (i) the Company
requires that the Participant relocate to a worksite that is more than sixty (60) miles from its principal executive office as of the Effective Date; (ii) the Company materially reduces the Participant’s Base Salary below its
then-existing gross rate; or (iii) the Participant’s duties or responsibilities are materially reduced within the 18- month period following a Change in Control; provided however that, in order to qualify as “Good Reason,” the

Company with at least thirty (30) days from its receipt of the Participant’s written notice in which to cure such actions or events prior to termination of the Participant’s employment, and provided further that, the
Participant’s employment must terminate no later than twelve (12) months after the applicable actions or events described in (i), (ii) or (iii) above. For the purposes of clause (iii) of the preceding sentence, the following
shall not constitute a material reduction in the Participant’s duties or responsibilities: (x) a mere change in title, (y) a change in reporting responsibilities that does not otherwise result in a material diminution of duties or
responsibilities or (z) any change in duties or responsibilities as a result of the Company ceasing to be a publicly traded corporation. 
 (q) “Involuntary Termination Without Cause” means a termination by the Company of a Participant’s employment relationship with the Company or an Affiliate of the
Company for any reason other than for Cause and such termination results in a “separation from service” with the Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) (without regard to any permissible alternative
definition of “termination of employment” thereunder). 
 (r) “Own,” “Owned,”
“Owner,” “Ownership” A person or Entity shall be deemed to “Own,” to have “Owned,” to be the “Owner” of, or to have acquired “Ownership” of securities if such person or Entity,
directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, has or shares voting power, 







 
which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting, with respect to such securities.(q) “Participant” means an individual (i) who is an Eligible
Employee and (ii) who has received a Participation Notice from the Company and executed and returned such Participation Notice to the Company. The Participation Notice shall designate the Participant as either a “Tier I
Participant” or a “Tier II Participant,” provided that, in the absence of such specific designation, the Participant shall be deemed a Tier II Participant for purposes of the Plan. The determination of whether an employee
is a Participant, and the designation of either a Tier I Participant or a Tier II Participant, shall be made by the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, and such determination shall be binding and conclusive on all persons.

informing the employee that the employee is a Participant in the Plan, substantially in the form of Annex I hereto. 

(t) “Plan Administrator” means the Board or any committee duly authorized by the Board to administer
the Plan. The Plan Administrator may, but is not required to be, the Compensation Committee of the Board. The Board may at any time administer the Plan, in whole or in part, notwithstanding that the Board has previously appointed a
committee to act as the Plan Administrator. 
 (u) “Severance Period” means (i) in the
case of a Covered Termination that is not a Change in Control Termination, three (3) months for a Tier II Participant and six (6) months for a Tier I Participant, and (ii) in the case of a Change in Control Termination, nine
(9) months for a Tier II Participant and twelve (12) months for a Tier I Participant. 

(v) “Substantially Equivalent or Comparable Position” is one that offers the Participant
substantially the same Base Salary; provided, however, that a position shall not be considered to be a “Substantially Equivalent or Comparable Position” if a resignation of employment by the Participant would constitute a
Constructive Termination. 
 SECTION 3. ELIGIBILITY FOR BENEFITS.

 (a) General Rules. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 3 and
Section 5, in the event of a Covered Termination, the Company shall provide the severance benefits described in Section 4 to each affected Participant. Upon the consummation of a Change in Control, the Company shall provide
each Participant the benefits described in Section 7. For the avoidance of doubt, a person who is not (and was not) a Participant shall not be eligible for benefits pursuant to the Plan whether or not such person is (or was) an Eligible
Employee. 
 (b) Exceptions to Benefit Entitlement. A Participant will not receive benefits under the
Plan (or will receive reduced benefits under the Plan) in the following circumstances, as determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion: 
 (i) The Participant has executed an individually negotiated employment contract or agreement with the Company relating to severance or change in control benefits that is in effect on his or
her termination date and which provides benefits that the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, determines to be of greater value than the benefits provided for in this Plan, in which case such Participant’s severance benefit, if any,
shall be governed by the terms of such individually negotiated employment contract or agreement and shall be governed by this Plan only to the extent that the reduction pursuant to Section 5(b) below does not entirely eliminate benefits under
this Plan. 
 (ii) The Participant is entitled to receive benefits under another severance benefit plan maintained
by the Company (e.g., the iPass Inc. Severance Benefit Plan) on his or her termination date and which provides benefits that the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, determines to be of greater value than the benefits provided for in
this Plan, in which case such Participant’s severance benefit, if any, shall be governed by the terms of such other severance benefit plan and shall be governed by this Plan only to the extent that the reduction pursuant to Section 5(b)
below does not entirely eliminate benefits under this Plan. 
 (iii) The Participant’s employment terminates or
is terminated for any reason other than a Covered Termination. 







 (iv) The Participant does not confirm in writing that he or she shall be subject
to the Company’s Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement. 
 (v) The Participant has failed
to execute or has revoked the release within the applicable period of time specified in Section 5(a). 

(vi) The Participant has failed to return all Company Property. For this purpose, “Company
Property” means all paper and electronic Company documents (and all copies thereof) created and/or received by the Participant during his or her period of employment with the Company and other Company materials and property which the
Participant has in his or her possession or control, including, but not limited to, Company files, notes, drawings records, plans, forecasts, reports, studies, analyses, proposals, agreements, financial information, research and development
information, sales and marketing information, operational and personnel information, specifications, code, software, databases, computer-recorded information, tangible property and equipment (including, but not limited to, leased vehicles,
computers, computer equipment, software programs, facsimile machines, mobile telephones, servers), credit and calling cards, entry cards, identification badges and keys; and any materials of any kind which contain or embody any proprietary or
confidential information of the Company (and all reproductions thereof in whole or in part). As a condition to receiving benefits under the Plan, Participants must not make or retain copies, reproductions or summaries of any such Company
documents, materials or property. However, a Participant is not required to return his or her personal copies of documents evidencing the Participant’s hire, termination, compensation, benefits and stock options and any other documentation
received as a shareholder of the Company. 
 (c) Termination of Benefits. A Participant’s right to
receive benefits under this Plan shall terminate immediately if, at any time prior to or during the period for which the Participant is receiving benefits hereunder, the Participant, without the prior written approval of the Plan Administrator:

 (i) willfully breaches a material provision of the Company’s Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions
Agreement; 
 (ii) encourages or solicits any of the Company’s then current employees to leave the
Company’s employ for any reason or interferes in any other manner with employment relationships at the time existing between the Company and its then current employees; or 

(iii) induces any of the Company’s then current clients, customers, suppliers, vendors, distributors, licensors,
licensees or other third party to terminate their existing business relationship with the Company or interferes in any other manner with any existing business relationship between the Company and any then current client, customer, supplier, vendor,
distributor, licensor, licensee or other third party. 
 SECTION 4. AMOUNT OF
BENEFITS. 
 In the event of a Participant’s Covered Termination, the Participant shall be entitled to receive the
benefits provided by this Section 4 except as may otherwise be provided in the Participant’s Participation Notice. 
 (a) Cash Severance Benefits. The Company shall make a cash severance payment to the Participant in an amount equal to the product of (i) the Participant’s Base Salary, as
in effect on the date of a Covered Termination, multiplied by (ii) the number of months in the Severance Period. In addition, the Company shall make an additional cash severance payment to the Participant as follows: (i) provided that
the Participant received an overall performance rating equivalent to or greater than “Meets Expectations” in the most recent performance evaluation cycle preceding termination of the Participant’s employment, in the case of a Covered
Termination that is not a Change in Control Termination, in an amount equal to one quarter of the Participant’s target bonus amount under the Company’s annual bonus plan, and (ii) in the case of a Change in Control Termination, in an
amount equal to the product of (x) one-twelfth
(1/12th) of the Participant’s target bonus
amount under the Company’s annual bonus plan, multiplied by (y) the number of months in the Severance Period. Such severance payments shall be paid in accordance with Section 6. 







 (b) Health Continuation Coverage.

(i) Provided that the Participant is eligible for, and has made an election at or timely after the Covered Termination
pursuant to COBRA under a health, dental, or vision plan sponsored by the Company, each such Participant shall be entitled to payment by the Company of all of the applicable premiums (inclusive of premiums for the Participant’s dependents for
such health, dental, or vision plan coverage as in effect immediately prior to the date of the Covered Termination) for such health, dental, or vision plan coverage for a period of months following the date of the Covered Termination equal to two
times the Severance Period, with such coverage counted as coverage pursuant to COBRA. 
 (ii) No such premium
payments (or any other payments for health, dental, or vision coverage by the Company) shall be made following the earliest of (A) the close of the period of months following the date of the Covered Termination equal to two times the Severance
Period, (B) the Participant’s death, (C) the effective date of the Participant’s coverage by a health, dental, or vision insurance plan of a subsequent employer, or (D) the expiration of the Participant’s eligibility
for substantially equivalent health insurance coverage in connection with new employment (such period from the date of the Covered Termination through the earliest of (A) through (D), the “COBRA Payment Period”). Each Participant
shall be required to notify the Plan Administrator immediately if the Participant becomes covered by or eligible for a health, dental, or vision insurance plan of a subsequent employer. Upon the conclusion of such period of COBRA Payment
Period, the Participant will be responsible for the entire payment of premiums required under COBRA for the duration of the COBRA period. 
 (iii) For purposes of this Section 4(b), (i) references to COBRA shall be deemed to refer also to analogous provisions of state law, and (ii) any applicable insurance premiums
that are paid by the Company shall not include any amounts payable by the Participant under an Internal Revenue Code Section 125 health care reimbursement plan, which amounts, if any, are the sole responsibility of the Participant. 

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that its payment of COBRA
premiums pursuant to this Section 4(b) would result in adverse consequences to the Company (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), then in lieu of paying COBRA premiums pursuant to this
Section 4(b), the Company will pay the Participant on the last day of each remaining month of the Revised COBRA Payment Period, as defined below, a fully taxable cash payment equal to the COBRA premium for that month, subject to applicable tax
withholding (such amount, the “Special Severance Payment”), such Special Severance Payment to be made without regard to the Participant’s payment of COBRA premiums. The “Revised COBRA Payment Period” shall end
on the earlier of (x) the date on which the Participant commences other employment and (y) the close of the period of months following the date of the Covered Termination equal to two times the Severance Period. 

(c) Option Grant and Restricted Stock Vesting Acceleration. Upon a Change in Control, (i) the vesting and
exercisability of 50% of all outstanding options to purchase the Company’s common stock and all restricted stock issued pursuant to any equity incentive plan of the Company that are held by the Participant on such date shall be accelerated, and
(ii) 50% of all reacquisition or repurchase rights held by the Company with respect to common stock issued or issuable (or with respect to similar rights or other rights with respect to stock of the Company issued or issuable pursuant to any
equity incentive plan of the Company) pursuant to any other stock award granted to the Participant by the Company shall lapse.

Upon a Change in Control Termination, (i) the vesting and exercisability of 100% of the outstanding options to purchase the
Company’s common stock and all restricted stock issued pursuant to any equity incentive plan of the Company that are held by the Participant on such date shall be accelerated, and (ii) 100% of the reacquisition or repurchase rights held by
the Company with respect to common stock issued or issuable (or with respect to similar rights or other rights with respect to stock of the Company issued or issuable pursuant to any equity incentive plan of the Company) pursuant to any other stock
award granted to the Participant by the Company shall lapse. 
 Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4(c), in the
event that the provisions of this Section 4(c) regarding acceleration of vesting of a stock award would adversely affect a Participant’s stock award (including, without limitation, its status as an incentive stock option under
Section 422 of the Code) that is outstanding on the date the Participant commences participation in the Plan, such acceleration of vesting shall be deemed null and void as to such option or other stock award unless the affected Participant
consents in writing to such acceleration of vesting as to such option or other stock award within thirty (30) days after becoming a Participant in the Plan. 







 All acceleration of vesting and exercisability or the lapse of repurchase or reacquisition rights under this
Section 4(c) will be done on an installment-by-installment basis, except as otherwise provided in Section 5(c). 

(d) Other Employee Benefits. All other benefits (such as life insurance, disability coverage, and 401(k) plan
coverage) shall terminate as of the Participant’s termination date (except to the extent that a conversion privilege may be available thereunder). 
 (e) Additional Benefits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion, provide benefits in addition to those pursuant to Sections 4(a), 4(b),
and 4(c) to one or more Participants chosen by the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, and the provision of any such benefits to a Participant shall in no way obligate the Company to provide such benefits to any other Participant, even if
similarly situated. 
 SECTION 5. LIMITATIONS ON BENEFITS. 

(a) Release. In order to be eligible to receive benefits under the Plan, a Participant must execute a general
waiver and release in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, Exhibit B, or Exhibit C, as appropriate, and such release must become effective in accordance with its terms within sixty (60) days following a
Covered Termination; provided, however, no such release shall require the Participant to forego any unpaid salary, any accrued but unpaid vacation pay or any benefits payable pursuant to this Plan. With respect to any outstanding option
held by the Participant, no provision set forth in this Plan granting the Participant additional rights to exercise the option can be exercised unless and until the release becomes effective. Unless a Change in Control has occurred, the Plan
Administrator, in its sole discretion, may modify the form of the required release to comply with applicable law and shall determine the form of the required release, which may be incorporated into a termination agreement or other agreement with the
Participant. 
 (b) Certain Reductions. The Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall have the
authority to reduce a Participant’s severance benefits, in whole or in part, by any other severance benefits, pay in lieu of notice, or other similar benefits payable to the Participant by the Company that become payable in connection with the
Participant’s termination of employment pursuant to (i) any applicable legal requirement, including, without limitation, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act or comparable state law (collectively, the “WARN
Act”), (ii) a written employment or severance agreement with the Company, or (iii) any Company policy or practice providing for the Participant to remain on the payroll for a limited period of time after being given notice of
the termination of the Participant’s employment. The benefits provided under this Plan are intended to satisfy, in whole or in part, any and all statutory obligations and other contractual obligations of the Company, including benefits
provided by offer letter or employment agreements, that may arise out of a Participant’s termination of employment, and the Plan Administrator shall so construe and implement the terms of the Plan. The Plan Administrator’s decision to
apply such reductions to the severance benefits of one Participant and the amount of such reductions shall in no way obligate the Plan Administrator to apply the same reductions in the same amounts to the severance benefits of any other Participant,
even if similarly situated. In the Plan Administrator’s sole discretion, such reductions may be applied on a retroactive basis, with severance benefits previously paid being re-characterized as payments pursuant to the Company’s
statutory or other contractual obligations. 
 (c) Parachute Payments. Except as otherwise provided in
an agreement between a Participant and the Company, if any payment or benefit the Participant would receive in connection with a Change in Control from the Company or otherwise (“Payment”) would (i) constitute a
“parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such
Payment shall be equal to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” shall be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, or (y) the largest
portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate),
results in the Participant’s receipt of the greatest economic benefit notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting “parachute payments”
is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, reduction shall occur in a manner necessary to provide the Participant with the greatest economic benefit. If more than one manner of reduction of payments or benefits necessary to
arrive at the Reduced Amount yields the greatest economic benefit, the payments and benefits shall be reduced pro rata. 







 (d) Mitigation. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, a
Participant shall not be required to mitigate damages or the amount of any payment provided under this Plan by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment provided for under this Plan be reduced by any compensation
earned by a Participant as a result of employment by another employer or any retirement benefits received by such Participant after the date of the Participant’s termination of employment with the Company, except for health continuation
coverage provided pursuant to Section 4(b). 
 (e) Non-Duplication of Benefits. Except as otherwise
specifically provided for herein, no Participant is eligible to receive benefits under this Plan or pursuant to other contractual obligations more than one time. This Plan is designed to provide certain severance pay and change in control
benefits to Participants pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Plan. The payments pursuant to this Plan are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any unpaid salary, bonuses or benefits to which a Participant may be entitled for
the period ending with the Participant’s Covered Termination. 
 SECTION 6. TIME OF
PAYMENT AND FORM OF BENEFITS. 

(a) General Rules. Except as otherwise set forth in this Plan, the cash severance benefits under Section 4(a)
of the Plan, if any, shall be paid in a single lump sum payment on the first payroll date following the Participant’s Covered Termination. In no event shall payment of any Plan benefit set forth in Section 4 be made prior to the
effective date of the release described in Section 5(a). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of an acceleration of the exercisability of an option (or other award) pursuant to Section 4(c), such option (or other award) shall not
be exercisable with respect to such acceleration of exercisability unless and until the effective date of the release described in Section 5(a). 
 (b) Application of Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the following provisions apply to the extent benefits provided herein are “deferred
compensation” (“Deferred Plan Benefits”) within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and other guidance thereunder and any state law of similar effect (collectively “Section
409A”). Deferred Plan Benefits shall not commence until the Participant has a “separation from service” for purposes of Section 409A or a “change in the ownership or effective control or a change in the
ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(i)(5). Each installment of a Deferred Plan Benefit is a separate “payment” for purposes of Treas. Reg.
Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(i), and the Deferred Plan Benefits are intended to satisfy the exemptions from application of Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulations Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4), 1.409A-1(b)(5) and 1.409A-1(b)(9). However, if
such exemptions are not available and the Participant is, upon separation from service, a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid adverse personal tax consequences under
Section 409A, the timing of the Deferred Plan Benefits payments shall be delayed until the earlier of (i) six (6) months and one day after the Participant’s separation from service, or (ii) the Participant’s death.

 Except to the minimum extent that payments must be delayed because the Participant is a “specified employee”, all
amounts will be paid as soon as practicable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices. 
 The benefits
pursuant to the Plan are intended to qualify for an exemption from application of Section 409A or comply with its requirements to the extent necessary to avoid adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, and any ambiguities
herein shall be interpreted accordingly. 
 (c) Withholding. All payments under the Plan will be subject
to all applicable withholding obligations of the Company, including, without limitation, obligations to withhold for federal, state and local income and employment taxes. The Company may, in its sole discretion, satisfy any federal, state or local
tax withholding obligation relating to awards granted pursuant to the iPass Inc 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Stock Plan”) as provided in the Stock Plan or in the applicable award agreements. 







 (d) Indebtedness of Participants. If a Participant is indebted to
the Company on the effective date of his or her Covered Termination, the Plan Administrator reserves the right to offset any severance payments under the Plan by the amount of such indebtedness. 

SECTION 7. CHANGE IN CONTROL BENEFITS. 

Immediately upon the consummation of a Change in Control, any specified performance target or vesting condition determined by reference to
the operations of the Company or an Affiliate in any stock option agreement or any restricted stock award issued to a Participant pursuant to any equity incentive plan of the Company shall immediately be deemed satisfied. Accordingly, such
performance targets or conditions need not be satisfied following the Change in Control in order for the Participant to remain eligible to vest in such stock option or such restricted stock. However, except as provided under Section 4(c),
any requirement specified in such stock option agreement or such restricted stock award that such Participant continue to render services for the Company or an Affiliate following the Change in Control shall remain in effect, and the Participant
shall not vest in such stock option or such restricted stock unless and until such post-Change in Control service requirement has been satisfied. 
 SECTION 8. REEMPLOYMENT. 
 In the event of a
Participant’s reemployment by the Company during the period of time in respect of which severance benefits pursuant to Section 4(a), 4(b), 4(c) or 4(e) have been paid, the Plan Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, may
require such Participant to repay to the Company all or a portion of such severance benefits as a condition of reemployment.

Termination. The Company reserves the right to amend or terminate this Plan, any Participation Notice issued pursuant to the Plan (including but not limited to changing the designation of any Participant as a Tier I Participant or a Tier II
Participant), or the benefits provided hereunder at any time; provided, however, that no such amendment or termination shall occur following a Change in Control or a Covered Termination as to any Participant who would be adversely affected by
such amendment or termination unless such Participant consents in writing to such amendment or termination. Any action amending or terminating the Plan or any Participation Notice shall be in writing and executed by a duly authorized officer of

 SECTION 15. STATEMENT OF ERISA
RIGHTS. 
 Participants in this Plan (which is a welfare benefit plan sponsored by iPass Inc.) are entitled to
certain rights and protections under ERISA. If you are a Participant, you are considered a participant in the Plan for the purposes of this Section 15 and, under ERISA, you are entitled to: 

(a) Receieve Information About Your Plan and Benefits.

(i) Examine, without charge, at the Plan Administrator’s office and at other specified locations, such as worksites, all
documents governing the Plan and a copy of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series), if applicable, filed by the Plan with the U.S. Department of Labor and available at the Public Disclosure Room of the Employee Benefits Security Administration;

 (ii) Obtain, upon written request to the Plan Administrator, copies of documents governing the operation of the
Plan and copies of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series), if applicable, and an updated (as necessary) Summary Plan Description. The Administrator may make a reasonable charge for the copies; and 

(iii) Receive a summary of the Plan’s annual financial report, if applicable. The Plan Administrator is required by
law to furnish each participant with a copy of this summary annual report. 
 (b) Prudent Actions By Plan
Fiduciaries. In addition to creating rights for Plan participants, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible for the operation of the employee benefit plan. The people who operate the Plan, called “fiduciaries”
of the Plan, have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of you and other Plan participants and beneficiaries. No one, including your employer, your union or any other person, may fire you or otherwise discriminate against you in any way
to prevent you from obtaining a Plan benefit or exercising your rights under ERISA. 
 (c) Enforce Your
Rights.
 (i) If your claim for a Plan benefit is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you have a right to
know why this was done, to obtain copies of documents relating to the decision without charge, and to appeal any denial, all within certain time schedules. 
 (ii) Under ERISA, there are steps you can take to enforce the above rights. For instance, if you request a copy of Plan documents or the latest annual report from the Plan, if applicable,
and do not receive them within 30 days, you may file suit in a Federal court. In such a case, the court may require the Plan Administrator to provide the materials and pay you up to $110 a day until you receive the materials, unless the
materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the Plan Administrator. 
 (iii) If you have a
claim for benefits which is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you may file suit in a state or Federal court. 

(iv) If you are discriminated against for asserting your rights, you may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor,
or you may file suit in a Federal court. The court will decide who should pay court costs and legal fees. If you are successful, the court may order the person you have sued to pay these costs and fees. If you lose, the court may
order you to pay these costs and fees, for example, if it finds your claim is frivolous. 







 (d) Assistance With Your Questions. If you have any questions about
the Plan, you should contact the Plan Administrator. If you have any questions about this statement or about your rights under ERISA, or if you need assistance in obtaining documents from the Plan Administrator, you should contact the nearest
office of the Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, listed in your telephone directory or the Division of Technical Assistance and Inquiries, Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200
Constitution Avenue N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210. You may also obtain certain publications about your rights and responsibilities under ERISA by calling the publications hotline of the Employee Benefits Security Administration. 

SECTION 16. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

Participant pursuant to the terms of this Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when delivered personally or deposited in the U.S. mail, First Class with postage prepaid, and addressed to the parties, in the case of the Company, at the
address set forth in Section 14(d) and, in the case of a Participant, at the address as set forth in the Company’s employment file maintained for the Participant as previously furnished by the Participant or such other address as a party

who is a successor by merger, acquisition, consolidation or otherwise to the business formerly carried on by the Company without regard to whether or not such person or entity actively assumes the obligations hereunder. 

(c) Waiver. Any Party’s failure to enforce any provision or provisions of this Plan shall not in any way be
construed as a waiver of any such provision or provisions, nor prevent any Party from thereafter enforcing each and every other provision of this Plan. The rights granted the Parties herein are cumulative and shall not constitute a waiver of
any Party’s right to assert all other legal remedies available to it under the circumstances. 

(d) Severability. Should any provision of this Plan be declared or determined to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired.
