			As soon as practicable after the date a Change in Control occurs, but in no event more than fifteen (15) days after the date a Change in Control occurs, each Participant described in clause (1) of this paragraph shall receive a single cash payment equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Award payments scheduled to be paid after the Change in Control (based on the Market Value on the date the Change in Control occurs).




			
	
			
				 (4)
			

			
	
			
			Each Award payment scheduled to be paid after the Change in Control shall be reduced by fifty percent (50%), i.e., to reflect the single cash payment under clause (2) of this paragraph, and shall continue to be paid on each March 31 in accordance with the preceding paragraph, subject to the Participant’s continued employment; provided, however, that if a Participant described in clause (1) of this paragraph experiences a Covered Termination on or after Change in Control, then any Award payments scheduled to be paid after the Covered Termination shall be paid in a single cash payment (based on the Market Value on the date of the Covered Termination) within fifteen (15) days after the Covered Termination.




		
			Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any agreement entered into in connection with or pursuant to the Plan:
		

			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			The portion of any Award under this Plan that was forfeited or forfeitable upon the Participant’s Covered Termination before a Change in Control shall be reinstated (or if not yet forfeited, retained) as of the date of the Change in Control if such date is not more than 120 days after the date of the Covered Termination.




			
	
			
				 (5)
			

			
	
			
			As soon as practicable after the date a Change in Control occurs, but in no event more than fifteen (15) days after the date a Change in Control occurs, each Participant described in clause (1) of this paragraph shall receive a single cash payment equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Award payments scheduled to be paid after the date of the Participant’s Covered Termination.  With respect to any Award payment originally scheduled to have been paid before the date of the Change in Control, the amount of such payment will be based on the Market Value on the date of the Covered Termination.  With respect to any Award payments scheduled to be paid on or after the Change in Control, the amount of such payment will be based on the Market Value on the date the Change in Control occurs.




		
			Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any other agreement entered into in connection with or pursuant to the Plan, if the provisions of the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984 (“DEFRA”) or Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”) relating to “excess parachute payments” (as defined by the Code) shall be applicable to any payment of an Award under the Plan, then the total amount of such payment shall be reduced by the least amount necessary such that the provisions of DEFRA and Section 280G of the Code relating to “excess 
		

		 


		

			7

		




 

		parachute payments” shall no longer be applicable to any payment of an Award or any other compensation that is subject to Section 280G of the Code; provided ,  however , that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the requisite approvals so that the limiting provisions of DEFRA and Section 280G of the Code would not be applicable to such payment.
		

			
	
			
				 Article 6.
			Termination of Employment; Forfeitures




			
	
			
				 (a)
			Except as provided in Article 5 with respect to a Covered Termination within 120 days before a Change in Control or a Covered Termination on or after a Change in Control, participation in the Plan shall cease immediately upon a Participant’s retirement, resignation or termination of employment as an Eligible Employee for any reason (with or without Cause), or if determined by the Award Committee, upon the Participant’s death or disability.  Disability will be determined under the Company’s long term disability plan, if any, or upon receipt of a letter of determination or similar of the Participant’s complete disability by the applicable governmental authority under local applicable law, which complete disability entitles the Participant to disability payments under local law.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			In the event that:




			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			while the Participant is employed by the Company, he or she engages in, directly or indirectly, any other business or activity that could materially or adversely affect the Company’s business or his or her ability to perform his or her duties for the Company, including, but not limited to, any activities adversely affecting the MercadoLibre Business anywhere in the Territory;




			
	
			
				 (6)
			

			
	
			
			while the Participant is employed by the Company or during the one-year period following the termination of the Participant’s employment for any reason, he or she directly or indirectly, on his or her own behalf or on behalf of another Person or entity, hires or solicits for hire any employees of the Company or its Affiliates or in any manner attempts to influence or induce any employee of the Company or its Affiliates to leave their employment; or




			
	
			
				 (7)
			

			
	
			
			while the Participant is employed by the Company or during the one-year period following the termination of the Participant’s employment for any reason, he or she alone (or in association with any other Person) directly or indirectly, in any capacity, owns, operates, manages, controls, engages in, invests in, becomes employed by, acts as a consultant or advisor to, or provides services for, or otherwise assists any other Person in activities that are competitive with the MercadoLibre Business anywhere in the Territory, 




		
			he or she will automatically forfeit any and all benefits received under the Plan and any and all benefits which the Participant may otherwise be entitled to receive under the Plan.  If the Participant terminates employment with the Company for any reason (with or without Cause) 
		

		 


		

			8

		




 

		and he or she alone (or in association with any other Person) takes any of the action set forth in subparagraph (1), (2) or (3) above, the Participant will be required to immediately, and in no event more than five days following the termination of the Participant’s employment, return all amounts which the Participant has received under the terms of the Plan (the “Recovery Amount”), and the Participant and the Company hereby agree to the following, notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary:
		

			
	
			
				 (i)
			

			
	
			
			that the Company may withhold all or a portion of the Recovery Amount from any salary, wages or other amounts due to the Participant from the Company; and




			
	
			
				 (ii)
			

			
	
			
			in addition to the Recovery Amount, the Company may also recover any fees incurred by the Company in seeking to collect the Recovery Amount, including, but not limited to, the Company’s reasonable attorneys’ fees.




		
			Notwithstanding the foregoing, ownership of less than five percent (5%) of the outstanding capital stock of any Person whose securities are registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in and of itself shall not be cause for automatic forfeiture under Section 6(b)(3), whether or not the subject Person is competitive with the Company.
		

			
	
			
				 (c)
			Except as provided in Article 5 with respect to a Covered Termination within 120 days before a Change in Control or a Covered Termination on or after a Change in Control, the portion of any Award under this Plan that has not been actually paid to the Participant prior to the date of such resignation or other termination of employment shall be forfeited, except that the Award Committee, in its discretion, may pay all or part of the amount that remains payable under an Award upon the disability or death of the Participant in accordance with such rules or procedures established by the Award Committee provided, however, that any amount of the Award payment that the Award Committee determines to pay shall be paid no later than March 15 of the year following the year that the Participant’s employment ends on account of disability or death.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, any Award paid to the Participant shall be subject to recovery by the Company in the event that the Participant is terminated for Cause and shall, to the extent permitted by law, be subject to recovery from any amounts owed by the Company to the Participant, including, but not limited to, offsetting any amounts owed under the Plan to the Company against any amounts otherwise owed to the Participant by the Company.




			
	
			
				 (d)
			If the Award Committee decides to pay all or part of an Award after the death of a Participant in accordance with this Section 6, the Participant may designate in writing one or more persons (“beneficiary”) to receive any unpaid portion of the Participant’s Award upon the death of the Participant.  By similar action, the Participant may designate a change of beneficiary at any time, which change shall be effective only upon receipt by the Award Committee of said notice.  The last such designation form filed with the Award Committee prior to the Participant’s death shall control.  The Award Committee may establish a form or other requirements for such designation.  If the Participant designates his spouse as a beneficiary, the divorce of Participant shall automatically revoke that designation of his spouse as beneficiary except to the extent otherwise provided in a subsequent beneficiary designation filed by the Participant with the Award Committee.  In the absence of a written designation, or in the event the Participant dies 
		

		 


		

			9

		






 

			without a beneficiary surviving him, any amount which would otherwise be payable on account of his death shall be paid to the surviving spouse of the Participant or if none, to the Participant’s estate.  A beneficiary of a Participant shall have no interest or rights hereunder during the lifetime of the Participant.




			
	
			
				 Article 7.
			Administrative Provisions




			
	
			
				 A.
			The Plan was approved by the Board on August 4, 2015 to be effective as of January 1, 2015 for all services provided by Participants in 2015.




			
	
			
				 B.
			Unless the Board provides otherwise, the Plan shall be administered and interpreted by the Award Committee, which has been provided absolute authority hereunder to administer the Plan.  The Board and its members, the members of the Award Committee and any other individual who may, from time to time, have been delegated responsibility with respect to the administration of this Plan (collectively, “Authorized Persons”), shall have the full authority, discretion and power necessary or desirable to administer and interpret this Plan, in accordance with the Plan terms.  Benefits under the Plan shall be payable only if the Authorized Persons in their respective sole and absolute discretion determine that any such benefits are properly payable under the Plan.  Without in any way limiting the foregoing, all Authorized Persons shall have complete authority, sole discretion and power to: (i) determine the Participants; (ii) determine the Performance Goals applicable to each Participant, as well as the relative weighting of each such Performance Goals to determine eligibility for payment of an Award hereunder; (iii) evaluate and determine the performance of Participants; (iv) determine the amount of the Award for each Participant; (v) interpret the provisions of this Plan and any other documentation used in connection with this Plan, including documentation specifying individual Participant Performance Goals, Award opportunities and the like; (vi) establish and interpret rules, regulations and procedures (written or by practice) for the administration of the Plan; and (vii) make all other determinations and take all other actions necessary or desirable for the administration or interpretation of this Plan.  The express grant in the Plan of any specific power to Authorized Persons shall not be construed as limiting any power or authority of such Authorized Person.  All actions, decisions and interpretations of the Authorized Persons shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties.  All expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company.




			
	
			
				 C.
			Nothing in this Plan shall be deemed by implication, action or otherwise to constitute a contract of employment or otherwise to impose any limitation on any right of the Company to terminate a Participant’s employment at any time for any or no reason.




			
	
			
				 D.
			A Participant shall have no right to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge or encumber any right to receive any Award made under the Plan, nor will any Participant have any lien on any assets of the Company by reason of any Award made under the Plan.




		 


		

			10

		




 

			
	
			
				 E.
			The Company shall have the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, any taxes required by law to be withheld from Awards made under this Plan.




			
	
			
				 F.
			The Plan may be amended, suspended or terminated at any time and from time to time, by action of the Board or the Award Committee, but in any event, the Plan will be terminated no later than upon the last date the Company pays all Participants any and all amounts that may due under the Plan and no amounts remain due and payable under the Plan to any person as determined by Award Committee.  The preceding sentence to the contrary notwithstanding, on and after a Change in Control, no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan that adversely affects the rights of a Participant (or the beneficiary of a deceased Participant who has not received payment of an amount approved by the Award Committee under Article 6), shall be effective without the written consent of that Participant or beneficiary.




			
	
			
				 G.
			The adoption of the Plan does not imply any commitment to continue to maintain the Plan, or any modified version of the Plan, or any other plan for incentive compensation for such Participant for any period of time.  Neither the adoption of this Plan, its operation, nor any documents describing or referring to this Plan (or any part thereof) shall confer upon any employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or in any way affect any right and power of the Company to terminate the employment of any employee at any time without assigning a reason therefor.




			
	
			
				 H.
			This Plan, insofar as it provides for Awards, shall be unfunded, and the Company shall not be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by Awards under the Plan.  Any liability of the Company to any person with respect to any Awards under this Plan shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations which may be created pursuant to this Plan.  No such obligation of the Company shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge of, or other encumbrance on, any property of the Company.
