**2014 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN**

(As Amended and Restated on March 3, 2015) 

The purpose of the Hortonworks, Inc. 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“the Plan”) is to provide eligible employeesof Hortonworks, Inc. (the “Company”) and each Designated Company (as defined in Section 13) with opportunities to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”).2,500,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate have been approved and reserved for this purpose, plus on January 1, 2015 and each January 1 thereafter, the number of shares of Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Planshall be cumulatively increased by the lesser of (i) 1,000,000 shares of Stock; (ii) 1 percent (1%) of the number of shares of Stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31 or (iii) such lesser numberof shares as determined by the Administrator (the “Annual Increase”). 

The Plan contains two components: a CodeSection 423 Component (the “423 Component”) and a non-Code Section 423 Component (the “Non-423 Component”). It is intended for the 423 Component to constitute an “employee stock purchase plan” within themeaning of Section 423(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the 423 Component shall be interpreted in accordance with that intent. In addition, the Plan authorizes the grant of options under theNon-423 Component that do not qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code because of deviations necessary to permit participation in the Plan by non-U.S. employees, while complying with applicablenon-US. Law. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Non-423 Component will operate and be administered in the same manner as the 423 Component. 

1. Administration. The Plan will be administered by the CompensationCommittee of the Board of Directors and/or such other person or persons (the “Administrator”) appointed by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) for such purpose. The Administrator has authority at any time to:(i) adopt, alter and repeal such rules, guidelines and practices for the administration of the Plan and for its own acts and proceedings as it shall deem advisable including to accommodate the specific requirements of local laws forjurisdictions outside the United States; (ii) interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan; (iii) make all determinations it deems advisable for the administration of the Plan; (iv) decide all disputes arising in connection with thePlan; and (v) otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan. All interpretations and decisions of the Administrator shall be binding on all persons, including the Company and the Participants. No member of the Board or individualexercising administrative authority with respect to the Plan shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any option granted hereunder. 

2. “Offering” means an offer under the Plan of an option that may be exercised on an Exercise Date (asdefined in Section 10) as further described in this Plan. For purposes of the Plan, the Administrator may designate separate Offerings under the Plan (the terms of which need not be identical) in which Employees of the Company and/or anyDesignated Company will participate, even if the dates of the applicable Offering Periods of each such Offering are identical, and the provisions of the Plan will separately apply to each Offering. To the extent permitted by U.S. Treasury RegulationSection 1.423-2(a)(1), the terms of each Offering need not be identical provided that the terms of the Plan and an Offering under the 423 Component together satisfy U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.423-2(a)(2) and (a)(3).

3. “Offering Periods” means the period of no more thanapproximately twelve (12) months commencing on the first business day on or after March 11th and September 11th of each year and terminating on the last business day on or before March 10th and September 10th ,approximately twelve (12) months later. The duration and timing of Offering Periods may be changed as designated by the Administrator provided that no Offering may exceed 27 months in duration. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise,each Offering Period will be divided into two equal six month Purchase Periods. 

4. Automatic Transfer to Low PriceOffering Period. To the extent permitted by applicable laws, if the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on any Exercise Date in an Offering Period is lower than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Offering Date of suchOffering Period, then all Participants in such Offering Period automatically will be withdrawn from such Offering Period immediately after the exercise of their option on such Exercise Date and will be automatically re-enrolled in the immediatelyfollowing Offering Period as of the first day thereof. 

5. Eligibility. All individuals classified as employees onthe payroll records of the Company and each Designated Company are eligible to participate in any one or more of the Offerings under the Plan, provided that as of the first day of the applicable Offering Period (the “Offering Date”) theyare customarily employed by the Company or a Designated Company for more than 20 hours a week and have completed at least three months of employment. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, individuals who are not contemporaneously classified asemployees of the Company or a Designated Company for purposes of the Company’s or applicable Designated Company’s payroll system are not considered to be eligible employees of the Company or any Designated Company and shall not be eligibleto participate in

the Plan. In the event any such individuals are reclassified as employees of the Company or a Designated Company for any purpose, including, without limitation, common law or statutory employees,by any action of any third party, including, without limitation, any government agency, or as a result of any private lawsuit, action or administrative proceeding, such individuals shall, notwithstanding such reclassification, remain ineligible forparticipation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exclusive means for individuals who are not contemporaneously classified as employees of the Company or a Designated Company on the Company’s or Designated Company’s payroll system tobecome eligible to participate in this Plan is through an amendment to this Plan, duly executed by the Company, which specifically renders such individuals eligible to participate herein. 

6. Participation. 

(a) An eligible employee who is not a Participant on any Offering Date may participate in such Offering Period by submittingan enrollment form to his or her appropriate payroll location (or such other procedure as determined by the Administrator) at least 15 business days before the Offering Date (or by such other deadline as shall be established by the Administrator forthe Offering).

waived the right to participate. Unless a Participant files a new enrollment form or withdraws from the Plan, such Participant’s contributions and purchases will continue at the samepercentage of Compensation for future Offerings, provided he or she remains eligible. 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing,participation in the Plan will neither be permitted nor be denied contrary to the requirements of the Code and any other applicable law.

Subject to Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 8 hereof, a Participant’s payroll deductions will recommence at the rate originally elected by the Participant effective as of the beginning of the firstPurchase Period scheduled to end in the following calendar year, unless terminated by the Participant as provided in Section 9.

10. Grant of Options. On each Offering Date, the Company will grant to each eligible employee who is then a Participantin the Plan an option (“Option”) to purchase on the last day of each Purchase Period within the Offering Period (an “Exercise Date”), at the Option Price hereinafter provided for, the lowest of (a) a number of shares ofCommon Stock determined by dividing such Participant’s accumulated payroll deductions on such Exercise Date by the lower of (i) 85 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Offering Date, or (ii) 85 percent of theFair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Exercise Date, (b) 1,500 shares; or (c) such other lesser maximum number of shares as shall have been established by the Administrator in advance of the Offering Period; provided, however, thatsuch Option shall be subject to the limitations set forth in the Plan.

of an Offering Period, will be carried forward to the next Offering Period; any other balance remaining in a Participant’s account at the end of an Offering Period will be refunded to theParticipant at the earliest convenience of the Administrator.
