EXHIBIT 10.1

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
This Employment Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of July 27, 2021 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Enviva Management Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and Michael A. Johnson (“Executive”).
1.Employment. During the Employment Period (as defined in Section 4 below), the Company shall employ Executive, and Executive shall serve, as Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer of the Company and such Affiliates of the Company as may be designated by Enviva Holdings, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Holdings”) from time to time.
2.Duties and Responsibilities of Executive.
(a)During the Employment Period, Executive shall devote Executive’s full business time and attention to the business of the Company and its Affiliates, as applicable, and will not hold any outside employment or consulting position.  Executive’s duties pursuant to this Agreement will include those normally incidental to the position identified in Section 1, as well as such additional duties as may be assigned to Executive by Holdings from time to time.
(b)Executive represents and covenants that Executive is not the subject of or a party to any employment agreement, non-competition or non-solicitation covenant, non-disclosure agreement, or any other agreement, covenant, understanding, or restriction that would prohibit Executive from executing this Agreement and fully performing Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder, or would in any manner, directly or indirectly, limit or affect the duties and responsibilities that may now or in the future be assigned to Executive hereunder.
(c)Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive owes the Company and its Affiliates fiduciary duties, including duties of care, loyalty, fidelity, and allegiance, such that Executive shall act at all times in the best interests of the Company and its Affiliates and shall not appropriate any business opportunity of the Company or its Affiliates for Executive.  Executive agrees that the obligations described in this Agreement are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the obligations Executive owes the Company and its Affiliates under common law.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that Executive may provide services (including as an executive, employee, director, or otherwise) to multiple Affiliates of the Company and, in providing such services, Executive will not be violating Executive’s obligations hereunder so long as Executive abides by the terms of Sections 7, 8, and 9 below in the course of performing such services.
3.Compensation.
(a)Base Salary.  During the Employment Period, the Company shall pay to Executive an annualized base salary of $300,000 (the “Base Salary”) in consideration for Executive’s services under this Agreement, payable on a not less than biweekly basis, in conformity with the Company’s customary payroll practices for executives as in effect from time to time.

(b)Annual Bonus.  During the Employment Period, Executive shall be eligible for discretionary bonus compensation for the 2021 calendar year and for each subsequent complete calendar year that Executive is employed by the Company hereunder (each, a “Bonus Year”) pursuant to the applicable incentive or bonus compensation plan of the Company, if any, that is applicable to similarly situated executives of the Company (each, an “Annual Bonus”).  Each Annual Bonus shall have a target value that is not less than 50% of Executive’s Base Salary as in effect on the first day of the Bonus Year to which such Annual Bonus relates (the “Minimum Target Annual Bonus”); provided, however, that the Minimum Target Annual Bonus for the 2021 Bonus Year shall be prorated for that portion of the 2021 calendar year that Executive is employed by the Company following the Effective Date, beginning with the first day of the month immediately following the Effective Date.  The performance targets that must be achieved in order to realize certain bonus levels shall be established by the Board of Directors of Holdings GP (the “Holdings Board”) or a committee thereof annually, in its sole discretion, and communicated to Executive in accordance with terms of the applicable incentive or bonus plan, if any, or if no such plan has been adopted, within the first 90 days of each applicable Bonus Year following 2021 (the most recently established target value for Executive’s Annual Bonus is referred to herein as the “Target Annual Bonus”).  Each Annual Bonus, if any, will be paid as soon as administratively feasible after the Holdings Board or a committee thereof certifies whether the applicable performance targets for the applicable Bonus Year have been achieved, but in no event later than March 15 following the end of such Bonus Year.
(c)Long-Term Incentive Plan. Executive will receive a pro rata award under the Enviva Partners, LP equity compensation plan as in effect from time to time (the “LTIP”) with a target value equal to 56.25% of Executive’s Base Salary as in effect on the Effective Date (the “Initial LTIP Award”) for that portion of the 2021 calendar year that Executive is employed by the Company following the Effective Date.  With respect to the 2022 calendar year and each subsequent calendar year during the Employment Period, Executive shall be eligible to receive annual awards under the LTIP with a target value equal to 75% of Executive’s Base Salary as in effect on the first day of such calendar year (the “Target Annual LTIP Award”).  All awards granted to Executive under the LTIP, if any, shall be on such terms and conditions as the board of directors (the “Partners Board”) of Enviva Partners GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of Enviva Partners, LP, or a committee thereof shall determine from time to time and shall be subject to and governed by the terms and provisions of the LTIP as in effect from time to time and the award agreements evidencing such awards.  Nothing herein shall be construed to give Executive any rights to any amount or type of grant or award except as provided in such award to Executive provided in writing and authorized by the Partners Board (or a committee thereof).
4.Term of Employment. The initial term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement is the period that began on the Effective Date and shall end on the first anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”).  On the first anniversary of the Effective Date and on each subsequent anniversary of the Effective Date thereafter, the term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall automatically renew and extend for a period of 12 months (each such 12-month period being a “Renewal Term”) unless written notice of non-renewal is delivered by either party to the other not less than 60 days prior to the expiration of 
    2

the then-existing Initial Term or Renewal Term, as applicable.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Executive’s employment pursuant to this Agreement may be terminated at any time in accordance with Section 6.  The period from the Effective Date through the expiration of this Agreement or, if sooner, the termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to this Agreement, regardless of the time or reason for such termination, shall be referred to herein as the “Employment Period.”
5.Reimbursement of Business Expenses; Benefits. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Executive shall be entitled to the following reimbursements and benefits during the Employment Period:
(a)Reimbursement of Business Expenses. The Company agrees to reimburse Executive for Executive’s reasonable business-related expenses incurred in the performance of Executive’s duties under this Agreement; provided that Executive timely submits all documentation for such reimbursement, as required by Company policy in effect from time-to-time.  Any reimbursement of expenses under this Section 5(a) or Section 12 shall be made by the Company upon or as soon as practicable following receipt of supporting documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Company (but in any event not later than the close of Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense is incurred by Executive); provided, however, that, upon the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, in no event shall any additional reimbursement be made prior to the date that is six months after the date of such termination (or, if earlier, prior to the date of Executive’s death) to the extent such payment delay is required under Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code.  In no event shall any reimbursement be made to Executive for such expenses incurred after the date that is five years after the date of the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company.  Executive is not permitted to receive a payment in lieu of reimbursement under this Section 5(a) or Section 12.
(b)Benefits. Executive shall be eligible to participate in the same benefit plans or fringe benefit policies in which other similarly situated Company employees are eligible to participate, subject to applicable eligibility requirements and the terms and conditions of such plans and policies as in effect from time to time.  The Company shall not, by reason of this Section 5(b), be obligated to institute, maintain, or refrain from changing, amending, or discontinuing, any such plan or policy, so long as such changes are similarly applicable to similarly situated Company employees generally.
6.Termination of Employment.
(a)Company’s Right to Terminate Executive’s Employment for Cause.  The Company shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment at any time for Cause.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean Executive’s:
(i)material breach of any policy established by the Company or any of its Affiliates that (x) pertains to health and safety and (y) is applicable to Executive;
    3

(ii)engaging in acts of disloyalty to the Company or its Affiliates, including fraud, embezzlement, theft, commission of a felony, or proven dishonesty; or
(iii)willful misconduct in the performance of, or willful failure to perform a material function of, Executive’s duties under this Agreement.
(b)Company’s Right to Terminate for Convenience.  The Company shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment without Cause, at any time and for any reason or no reason at all.
(c)Executive’s Right to Terminate for Good Reason.  Executive shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment with the Company at any time for Good Reason.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean:
(i)a material diminution in Executive’s authority, duties, title, or responsibilities;
(ii)a material diminution in Executive’s Base Salary, Minimum Target Annual Bonus, or Target Annual LTIP Award;
(iii)the relocation of the geographic location of Executive’s principal place of employment by more than 100 miles from the location of Executive’s principal place of employment as of the Effective Date; or
(iv)the Company’s delivery of a written notice of non-renewal of this Agreement to Executive.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(c) or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any assertion by Executive of a termination for Good Reason shall not be effective unless all of the following conditions are satisfied:  (A) the condition described in Section 6(c)(i), (ii), (iii), or (iv) giving rise to Executive’s termination of Executive’s employment must have arisen without Executive’s written consent; (B) Executive must provide written notice to the Company of such condition within 30 days of the date on which Executive knew of the existence of the condition; (C) the condition specified in such notice must remain uncorrected for 30 days after receipt of such notice by the Company; and (D) the date of Executive’s termination of Executive’s employment must occur within 30 days after the end of such cure period.
(d)Death or Disability. Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate upon the death or Disability of Executive.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Disability” shall exist if Executive is unable to perform the essential functions of Executive’s position, with reasonable accommodation (if applicable), due to an illness or physical or mental impairment or other incapacity that continues for a period in excess of 90 days, whether consecutive or not, in any period of 365 consecutive days.  The determination of a Disability will be made by the Company after obtaining an opinion from a doctor of the Company’s choosing.  Executive agrees to provide such information and participate in such examinations as may be 
    4

reasonably required by said doctor in order to form his or her opinion.  If requested by the Company, Executive shall submit to a mental or physical examination to be performed by an independent physician selected by the Company to assist the Company in making such determination.
(e)Executive’s Right to Terminate for Convenience.  Executive shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment with the Company for convenience at any time upon 60 days’ advance written notice to the Company; provided that if Executive provides a notice of termination pursuant to this Section 6(e), the Company may designate an earlier termination date than that specified in Executive’s notice.  The Company’s designation of such an earlier date will not change the nature of Executive’s termination, which will still be deemed a voluntary resignation by Executive pursuant to this Section 6(e).
(f)Effect of Termination.
(i)If Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate (1) pursuant to Section 4 at the expiration of the then-existing Initial Term or Renewal Term, as applicable, as a result of a non-renewal of this Agreement by Executive or (2) pursuant to Section 6(a) or 6(e), then all compensation and all benefits to Executive hereunder shall terminate contemporaneously with such termination of employment, except that Executive shall be entitled to (x) payment of all earned, unpaid Base Salary within 30 days of Executive’s last day of employment, or earlier if required by law, (y) reimbursement for all incurred but unreimbursed expenses for which Executive is entitled to reimbursement in accordance with Section 5(a) and Section 12, and (z) benefits to which Executive may be entitled pursuant to the terms of any plan or policy described in Section 5(b).
(ii)If Executive’s employment terminates (1) pursuant to Section 6(b) or 6(c) or (2) due to Executive’s death or Disability pursuant to Section 6(d), then all compensation and all benefits to Executive hereunder shall terminate contemporaneously with such termination of employment, except that (I) Executive shall be entitled to receive the compensation and benefits described in clauses (x) through (z) of Section 6(f)(i); and (II) if Executive executes, on or before the Release Expiration Date (as defined below), and does not revoke within the time provided by the Company to do so, a release of all claims in a form satisfactory to the Company (which shall be substantially similar to the form of release attached hereto as Exhibit A) (the “Release”)), then, provided that Executive abides by the terms of Sections 7, 8, 9, 10, and 12:
(A)The Company shall pay to Executive an amount (the “Severance Payment”) equal to the sum of Executive’s Base Salary as in effect on the date of the termination of Executive’s employment (the “Termination Date”) and Executive’s Target Annual Bonus as of the Termination Date.  The Severance Payment will be divided into 12 substantially equal installments.  On the Company’s first regularly scheduled pay date that is on or after the date that is 60 days after the Termination Date, the Company shall pay to Executive, without interest, a number of such installments equal to the number of such installments 
    5

that would have been paid during the period beginning on the Termination Date and ending on the Company’s first regularly scheduled pay date that is on or after the date that is 60 days after the Termination Date had the installments been paid on a biweekly basis commencing on the Company’s first regularly scheduled pay date coincident with or next following the Termination Date, and each of the remaining installments shall be paid on a biweekly basis thereafter; provided, however, that (1) to the extent, if any, that the aggregate amount of the installments of the Severance Payment and any payments under Section 6(f)(ii)(C) that would otherwise be paid pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 6(f)(ii)(A) or Section 6(f)(ii)(C), as applicable, after March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Termination Date occurs (the “Applicable March 15”) exceeds the maximum exemption amount under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A), then such excess shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum on the Applicable March 15 (or the first business day preceding the Applicable March 15 if the Applicable March 15 is not a business day) and the installments of the Severance Payment payable after the Applicable March 15 shall be reduced by such excess (beginning with the installment first payable after the Applicable March 15 and continuing with the next succeeding installment until the aggregate reduction equals such excess), and (2) all remaining installments of the Severance Payment, if any, that would otherwise be paid pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 6(f)(ii)(A) after December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Termination Date occurs shall be paid with the installment of the Severance Payment, if any, due in December of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Termination Date occurs.
(B)All outstanding awards granted to Executive pursuant to the LTIP prior to the Termination Date that remain unvested as of the Termination Date shall immediately become fully vested as of the Termination Date; provided, however, that with respect to any such LTIP awards that were granted subject to a performance requirement (other than continued service by Executive) that has not been satisfied and certified by the Partners Board (or a committee thereof) as of the Termination Date, then (1) if the Termination Date occurs within six months prior to the expiration of the performance period applicable to such LTIP award, such LTIP award shall become vested based on actual performance upon the expiration of such performance period; and (2) if the Termination Date occurs at any other time during the performance period applicable to such LTIP award, such LTIP award shall become vested as of the Termination Date based on target performance.
(C)If Executive timely and properly elects to continue coverage for Executive and Executive’s spouse and eligible dependents, if any, under the Company’s group health plans pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), similar in the amounts and types of coverage provided by the Company to Executive prior to 
    6

the Termination Date, then for a period of 12 months following the Termination Date or such earlier date as provided in this Section 6(f)(ii)(C), the Company shall promptly reimburse Executive on a monthly basis for the entire amount Executive pays to effect and continue such coverage; provided, however, that Executive’s rights to such reimbursements under this Section 6(f)(ii)(C) shall terminate upon the earlier of (1) the time Executive becomes eligible to be covered under a group health plan sponsored by another employer (and Executive shall promptly notify the Company in the event that Executive becomes so eligible) or (2) the date Executive is no longer eligible to receive COBRA continuation coverage.  Notwithstanding anything in the preceding provisions of this Section 6(f)(ii)(C) to the contrary, (x) the election of COBRA continuation coverage and the payment of any premiums due with respect to such COBRA continuation coverage will remain Executive’s sole responsibility, and the Company will assume no obligation for payment of any such premiums relating to such COBRA continuation coverage and (y) if the provision of the benefit described in this Section 6(f)(ii)(C) cannot be provided in the manner described above without penalty, tax, or other adverse impact on the Company, then the Company and Executive shall negotiate in good faith to determine an alternative manner in which the Company may provide a substantially equivalent benefit to Executive without such adverse impact on the Company. 
For purposes of this Section 6(f)(ii), in the event of Executive’s death, references to Executive (other than in Section 6(f)(ii)(C)) shall include Executive’s estate, and references to Executive in Section 6(f)(ii)(C) shall include Executive’s spouse and eligible dependents, if any, who are “qualified beneficiaries” (within the meaning of COBRA and the regulations thereunder) with respect to Executive’s death.
(iii)Executive acknowledges Executive’s understanding that if the Release is not executed and returned to the Company on or before the Release Expiration Date, and the required revocation period has not fully expired without revocation of the Release by Executive, then Executive shall not be entitled to any payments or benefits pursuant to Section 6(f)(ii).  As used herein, the “Release Expiration Date” is that date that is 21 days following the date upon which the Company delivers the Release to Executive (which shall occur no later than seven days after the Termination Date) or, in the event that such termination of employment is “in connection with an exit incentive or other employment termination program” (as such phrase is defined in the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended), the date that is 45 days following such delivery date.
(g)Meaning of Termination of Employment.  For all purposes of this Agreement, Executive shall be considered to have terminated employment with the Company when Executive incurs a “separation from service” with the Company within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code; provided, however, that whether such a separation from service has occurred shall be determined based upon a reasonably anticipated 
    7

permanent reduction in the level of bona fide services to be performed to no more than 25% of the average level of bona fide services provided in the immediately preceding 36 months.
7.Conflicts of Interest; Disclosure of Opportunities.  Executive agrees that Executive shall promptly disclose to the Holdings Board any conflict of interest involving Executive upon Executive becoming aware of such conflict.  Executive further agrees that, throughout the Employment Period and for one year thereafter, Executive shall offer to the Company and its Affiliates, as applicable, all business opportunities relating to the acquisition, development, ownership, and operation of facilities that collect, process, and transform wood-based biomass into renewable energy feedstock, including wood pellets, regardless of where such business opportunities arise.
8.Confidentiality.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that, in the course of Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive has been provided with and had access to (and during the Employment Period, Executive will continue to be provided with, and have access to) valuable Confidential Information (as defined below).  In consideration of Executive’s receipt of and access to such Confidential Information and in exchange for other valuable consideration provided hereunder, and as a condition of Executive’s employment hereunder, Executive agrees to comply with this Section 8.
(a)Executive covenants and agrees, both during the Employment Period and thereafter that, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or by directive of the Holdings Board, Executive shall not disclose any Confidential Information to any Person and shall not use any Confidential Information except for the benefit of the Company or any of its Affiliates.  Executive shall take all reasonable precautions to protect the physical security of all documents and other material containing Confidential Information (regardless of the medium on which the Confidential Information is stored).  The covenants in this Section 8(a) shall apply to all Confidential Information, whether now known or later to become known to Executive during the Employment Period.
(b)Notwithstanding Section 8(a), Executive may make the following disclosures and uses of Confidential Information:
(i)disclosures to other executives or employees of the Company or its Affiliates who have a need to know the information in connection with the business of the Company or its Affiliates;
(ii)disclosures and uses that are incidental to Executive’s provision of services to the Company and its Affiliates consistent with the terms of this Agreement or that are approved by the Holdings Board;
(iii)disclosures for the purpose of complying with any applicable laws or regulatory requirements; or
    8

(iv)disclosures that Executive is legally compelled to make by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand, order of a court of competent jurisdiction, or similar process, or otherwise by law.
(c)Upon the expiration of the Employment Period and at any other time upon request of the Company, Executive shall surrender and deliver to the Company all documents (including electronically stored information) and other material of any nature containing or pertaining to all Confidential Information in Executive’s possession and shall not retain any such document or other material.  Within 10 days of any such request, Executive shall certify to the Company in writing that all such materials have been returned to the Company.
(d)All non-public information, designs, ideas, concepts, improvements, product developments, discoveries, and inventions, whether patentable or not, that are conceived, made, developed, or acquired by Executive, individually or in conjunction with others, during the period Executive is or has been employed or affiliated with the Company or any of its Affiliates (whether during business hours or otherwise and whether on the Company’s premises or otherwise) that relate to the Company’s or any of its Affiliates’ business or properties, products, or services (including all such information relating to corporate opportunities, business plans, trade secrets, strategies for developing business and market share, research, financial and sales data, pricing terms, evaluations, opinions, interpretations, acquisition prospects, the identity of customers or their requirements, the identity of key contacts within customers’ organizations or within the organization of acquisition prospects, or marketing and merchandising techniques, prospective names and marks) is defined as “Confidential Information.”  Moreover, all documents, videotapes, written presentations, brochures, drawings, memoranda, notes, records, files, correspondence, manuals, models, specifications, computer programs, e-mail, voicemail, electronic databases, maps, drawings, architectural renditions, models, and all other writings or materials of any type including or embodying any of such information, ideas, concepts, improvements, discoveries, inventions, and other similar forms of expression are and shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company or its Affiliates and be subject to the same restrictions on disclosure applicable to all Confidential Information pursuant to this Agreement.
(e)Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict Executive from lawfully (i) initiating communications directly with, cooperating with, providing information to, causing information to be provided to, or otherwise assisting in an investigation by any governmental or regulatory agency, entity, or official(s) (collectively, “Governmental Authorities”) regarding a possible violation of any law, (ii) responding to any inquiry or legal process directed to Executive individually from any such Governmental Authorities, (iii) testifying, participating, or otherwise assisting in an action or proceeding by any such Governmental Authorities relating to a possible violation of law, or (iv) making any other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of any applicable law.  Additionally, pursuant to the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Executive shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (x) is made (A) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (y) is made to Executive’s attorney in relation to a 
    9

lawsuit for retaliation against Executive for reporting a suspected violation of law, or (z) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.  Nor does this Agreement require Executive to obtain prior authorization from the Company or its Affiliates before engaging in any conduct described in this Section 8(e), or to notify the Company or its Affiliates that Executive has engaged in any such conduct.
9.Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.
(a)The Company shall continue to provide Executive access to Confidential Information for use only during the Employment Period, and Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company will be entrusting Executive, in Executive’s unique and special capacity, with continuing to develop the goodwill of the Company, and in consideration thereof and in consideration of the continued access to Confidential Information, and as a condition of Executive’s employment hereunder, Executive has voluntarily agreed to the covenants set forth in this Section 9.  Executive further agrees and acknowledges that the limitations and restrictions set forth herein, including the geographical and temporal restrictions on certain competitive activities, are reasonable in all respects and are material and substantial parts of this Agreement intended and necessary to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests, including the preservation of its Confidential Information and goodwill.
(b)Executive agrees that, during the period set forth in Section 9(c) below, Executive shall not, without the prior written approval of the Company, directly or indirectly, for Executive or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person or entity of whatever nature:
(i)engage or participate within the Market Area in competition with the Company in any business in which either the Company or its Protected Affiliates engaged in, or had plans to become engaged in of which Executive was aware during the Employment Period or the period set forth in Section 9(c) below, which business includes the acquisition, development, ownership, and operation of facilities that collect, process, and transform wood-based biomass into renewable energy feedstock, including wood pellets (the “Business”).  As used herein, the term “Protected Affiliates” means any Affiliate of the Company for which Executive provided services during the Employment Period, or about which Executive obtained Confidential Information during the Employment Period.
(ii)appropriate any Business Opportunity of, or relating to, the Company or its Affiliates located in the Market Area, or engage in any activity that is detrimental to the Company or its Affiliates or that limits the Company’s or an Affiliate’s ability to fully exploit such Business Opportunities or prevents the benefits of such Business Opportunities from accruing to the Company or its Affiliates; or
(iii)solicit any employee of the Company or its Affiliates to terminate his or her employment therewith.
(c)Timeframe of Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement.  Executive agrees that the covenants of this Section 9 shall be enforceable during the 
    10

Employment Period and for a period of one year following the termination of the Employment Period, regardless of the reason for such termination.
(d)Because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to the Company and its Affiliates as a result of a breach of the foregoing covenants, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that could be caused to the Company and its Affiliates for which they would have no other adequate remedy, Executive agrees that the foregoing covenant may be enforced by the Company and its Affiliates, in the event of breach by Executive, by injunctions and restraining orders and that such enforcement shall not be the Company’s and its Affiliates’ exclusive remedy for a breach but instead shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Company and its Affiliates, both at law and in equity.
(e)The covenants in this Section 9 are severable and separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant (or any portion thereof) shall not affect the provisions of any other covenant (or any portion thereof).  Moreover, in the event any court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator, as applicable, shall determine that the scope, time, or territorial restrictions set forth in this Section 9 are unreasonable, then it is the intention of the parties that such restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent that the court or arbitrator deems reasonable, and this Agreement shall thereby be reformed.
(f)For purposes of this Section 9, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
(i)“Business Opportunity” shall mean any commercial, investment, or other business opportunity relating to the Business.
(ii)“Market Area” shall mean any location or geographic area within 75 miles of a location where the Company or its Affiliates conducts Business, or has plans to conduct Business of which Executive is aware, during the Employment Period.
(g)All of the covenants in this Section 9 shall be construed as an agreement independent of any other provision in this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of Executive against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of such covenants.
10.Ownership of Intellectual Property.  Executive agrees that the Company or its applicable Affiliate shall own, and Executive agrees to assign and does hereby assign, all right, title, and interest (including patent rights, copyrights, trade secret rights, mask work rights, trademark rights, and all other intellectual and industrial property rights of any sort throughout the world) relating to any and all inventions (whether or not patentable), works of authorship, mask works, designs, know-how, ideas, and information authored, created, contributed to, made, or conceived or reduced to practice, in whole or in part, by Executive during the period that Executive is or has been employed or affiliated with the Company or any of its Affiliates that either (a) relate, at the time of conception, reduction to practice, creation, derivation, or development, to the Company’s or any of its Affiliates’ business or actual or anticipated research or development, or (b) were developed on any amount of the Company’s time or with the use of 
    11

any of the Company’s or its Affiliates’ equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information (all of the foregoing collectively referred to herein as “Company Intellectual Property”), and Executive will promptly disclose all Company Intellectual Property to the Company.  All of Executive’s works of authorship and associated copyrights created during the Employment Period and in the scope of Executive’s employment shall be deemed to be “works made for hire” within the meaning of the Copyright Act.  Executive agrees to perform, during and after the Employment Period, all reasonable acts deemed necessary by the Company to assist the Company or its applicable Affiliate, at the Company’s or such Affiliate’s expense, in obtaining and enforcing its rights throughout the world in the Company Intellectual Property.  Such acts may include, but are not limited to, execution of documents and assistance or cooperation (i) in the filing, prosecution, registration, and memorialization of assignment of any applicable patents, copyrights, mask work, or other applications, (ii) in the enforcement of any applicable patents, copyrights, mask work, moral rights, trade secrets, or other proprietary rights, and (iii) in other legal proceedings related to the Company Intellectual Property.
11.Arbitration.
(a)Subject to Section 11(d), any dispute, controversy, or claim between Executive and the Company or any of its Affiliates arising out of or relating to this Agreement or Executive’s employment with the Company or services provided to any Affiliate of the Company will be finally settled by arbitration in New York, New York before, and in accordance with the rules for the resolution of employment disputes then in effect of, the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”).  The arbitration award shall be final and binding on both parties.
(b)Any arbitration conducted under this Section 11 shall be heard by a single arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) selected in accordance with the then-applicable rules of the AAA.  The Arbitrator shall expeditiously (and, if possible, within 90 days after the selection of the Arbitrator) hear and decide all matters concerning the dispute.  Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, the Arbitrator shall have the power to (i) gather such materials, information, testimony, and evidence as the Arbitrator deems relevant to the dispute before him or her (and each party will provide such materials, information, testimony, and evidence requested by the Arbitrator, except to the extent any information so requested is proprietary, subject to a third-party confidentiality restriction, or to an attorney-client or other privilege), and (ii) grant injunctive relief and enforce specific performance.  The decision of the Arbitrator shall be rendered in writing, be final and binding upon the disputing parties, and the parties agree that judgment upon the award may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction; provided that the parties agree that the Arbitrator and any court enforcing the award of the Arbitrator shall not have the right or authority to award punitive or exemplary damages to any disputing party.
(c)Each side shall share equally the cost of the arbitration and bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with any arbitration, unless the Arbitrator determines that compelling reasons exist for allocating all or a portion of such costs and fees to the other side.

Executive agrees that, during the Employment Period and thereafter, upon reasonable request from the Company, Executive will cooperate with the Company or its Affiliates in the defense of any claims or actions that may be made by or against the Company or its Affiliates that relate to Executive’s actual or prior areas of responsibility, except if Executive’s reasonable interests are adverse to the Company or its Affiliate(s), as applicable, in such claim or action.  The Company agrees to pay or reimburse Executive for all of Executive’s reasonable travel and other direct expenses incurred, or to be reasonably incurred, to comply with Executive’s obligations under this Section 12, provided Executive provides reasonable documentation of same and obtains the Company’s prior approval for incurring such expenses.

14.Title and Headings; Construction.  Titles and headings to Sections hereof are for the purpose of reference only and shall in no way limit, define, or otherwise affect the provisions hereof.  Any and all Exhibits or Attachments referred to in this Agreement are, by such reference, incorporated herein and made a part hereof for all purposes.  The words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder,” and other compounds of the word “here” shall refer to the entire Agreement and not to any particular provision hereof.  The use herein of the word “including” following any general statement, term, or matter shall not be construed to limit such statement, term, or matter to the specific items or matters set forth immediately following such word or to similar items or matters, whether or not non-limiting language (such as “without limitation,” “but not limited to,” or words of similar import) is used with reference thereto, but rather shall be deemed to refer to all other items or matters that could reasonably fall within the broadest possible scope of such general statement, term, or matter.  Unless the context requires otherwise, all references herein to an agreement, instrument, or other document shall be deemed to refer to such agreement, instrument, or other document as amended, supplemented, modified, and restated from time to time to the extent permitted by the provisions thereof.  All references to “dollars” or “$” in this Agreement refer to United States dollars.  Wherever the context so 
    13

requires, the masculine gender includes the feminine or neuter, and the singular number includes the plural and conversely.
15.Applicable Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.  This Agreement shall in all respects be construed according to the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of law principles thereof.  With respect to any claim or dispute related to or arising under this Agreement, the parties hereby consent to the arbitration provisions of Section 11 above and recognize and agree that should any resort to a court be necessary and permitted under this Agreement, then they consent to the exclusive jurisdiction, forum, and venue of the state and federal courts located in New York, New York.
16.Entire Agreement and Amendment.  This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein; moreover, this Agreement supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, oral or written, between the parties hereto concerning the subject matter hereof.  Without limiting the scope of the preceding sentence, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 16, all understandings and agreements preceding the Effective Date and relating to the subject matter hereof are hereby null and void and of no further force or effect, and this Agreement shall supersede all other agreements, written or oral, that purport to govern the terms of Executive’s employment (including Executive’s compensation) with the Company or any of its Affiliates.  In entering into this Agreement, Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that Executive has received all sums and compensation that Executive has been owed, is owed, or ever could be owed for services provided to the Company and any of its Affiliates through the date that Executive signs this Agreement, with the exception of any unpaid base salary for the pay period that includes the date on which Executive signs this Agreement.

This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument executed by both parties hereto.
17.Waiver of Breach.  Any waiver of this Agreement must be executed by the party to be bound by such waiver.  No waiver by either party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by the other party, or of compliance with any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party, will operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by such other party or any similar or dissimilar provision or condition at the same or any subsequent time.  The failure of either party hereto to take any action by reason of any breach will not deprive such party of the right to take action at any time while such breach continues.
18.Assignment.  This Agreement is personal to Executive, and neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder shall be assignable or otherwise transferred by Executive.  The Company may assign this Agreement to any successor (whether by merger, purchase, or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the equity, assets, or businesses of the 
    14

Company, if such successor expressly agrees to assume the obligations of the Company hereunder.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, including by facsimile or “.pdf” or similar electronic format, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.  Each counterpart may consist of a copy hereof containing multiple signature pages, each signed by one party, but together signed by both parties hereto.
22.Deemed Resignations.  Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company and Executive prior to the termination of Executive’s employment, any termination of Executive’s employment shall constitute (a) an automatic resignation of Executive as an officer of the Company, Enviva Holdings GP, LLC (“Holdings GP”), and each other Affiliate of the Company, as applicable, (b) an automatic resignation of Executive from the board of directors (or similar governing body) of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company (if applicable), and (c) an automatic resignation from the board of directors or any similar governing body of any 
    15

corporation, limited liability entity, or other entity in which the Company or any Affiliate holds an equity interest and with respect to which board or similar governing body Executive serves as the Company’s or such Affiliate’s designee or other representative (if applicable).
23.Effect of Termination.  The provisions of Sections 6(f), 7-12, 22, and 24 and those provisions necessary to interpret and enforce them, shall survive any termination of the employment relationship between Executive and the Company.

Subject to Section 9(e), if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement (or part thereof) is invalid or unenforceable, then the invalidity or unenforceability of that provision (or part thereof) shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision (or part thereof) of this Agreement, and all other provisions (or part thereof) shall remain in full force and effect.
26.Section 409A.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all provisions of this Agreement are intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the applicable Treasury regulations and administrative guidance issued thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”) or an exemption therefrom and shall be construed and administered in accordance with such intent.  Any payments under this Agreement that may be excluded from Section 409A either as separation pay due to an involuntary separation from service or as a short-term deferral shall be excluded from Section 409A to the maximum extent possible.  For purposes of Section 409A, each installment payment provided under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if any payment or benefit provided for herein would be subject to additional taxes and interest under Section 409A if Executive’s receipt of such payment or benefit is not delayed until the earlier of (i) the date of Executive’s death or (ii) the date that is six months after the Termination Date (such date, the “Section 409A Payment Date”), then such payment or benefit shall not be provided to Executive (or Executive’s estate, if applicable) until the Section 409A Payment Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement are exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A and in no event shall the Company or any of its Affiliates be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest, or other expenses that may be incurred by Executive on account of non-compliance with Section 409A.

(iii)    Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11 of the Plan, the aggregate number of Shares actually issued by the Company upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options will not exceed 7,000,000 Shares.

4.    Option Rights.  The Board may, from time to time, authorize the granting to Participants of Option Rights upon such terms and conditions consistent with the following provisions as it may determine:

(a)    Each grant will specify the number of Shares to which it pertains subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3 of the Plan.

(b)    Each grant will specify an Option Price per share, which may not be less than (i) the Market Value Per Share on the Date of Grant or (ii) if the Person to whom an Incentive Stock Option is granted is a 10% Shareholder on the Date of Grant, 110% of the Market Value Per Share on the Date of Grant.  However, an Incentive Stock Option may be granted with an exercise price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if such Incentive Stock Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 424 of the Code or if the Award is designated as a “Section 409A Award” and has either a fixed exercise date or a fixed delivery date.

(c)    Each grant will specify whether the Option Price will be payable (i) in cash or by check acceptable to Inseego or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, (ii) by the actual or constructive transfer to Inseego of Shares owned by the Optionee (or other consideration authorized pursuant to Section 4(d)) having a value at the time of exercise equal to the total Option Price, (iii) by withholding by Inseego from the Shares otherwise deliverable to the Optionee upon the exercise of such Option Rights, a number of Shares having a value at the time of exercise equal to the total Option Price, (iv) by a combination of such methods of payment, or (v) by such other methods as may be approved by the Board.

(d)    To the extent permitted by law, any grant may provide for deferred payment of the Option Price from the proceeds of sale through a bank or broker on a date satisfactory to Inseego of some or all of the Shares to which such exercise relates.

(e)    Successive grants may be made to the same Participant whether or not any Option Rights previously granted to such Participant remain unexercised.

(f)    Each grant will specify the period or periods of continuous service by the Optionee with Inseego or any Subsidiary that is necessary before the Option Rights or installments thereof will become exercisable; provided, however, that in the case of an Investor Director Provider, service will be deemed continuous as long as such Investor Director Provider has at least one representative on the Board who is an employee, direct or indirect owner, or service provider of such Investor Director Provider.

(g)    Any grant of Option Rights may specify Management Objectives that must be achieved as a condition to the exercise of such rights.

(h)    Option Rights granted under the Plan may be (i) Incentive Stock Options, (ii) options that are not intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, or (iii) combinations of the foregoing. Incentive Stock Options may only be granted to Participants who are “employees” (under Section 3401(c) of the Code) of Inseego or a subsidiary of Inseego (under Section 424 of the Code).  Any Option Right designated as an Incentive Stock Option will not be an Incentive Stock Option to the extent the Option Right fails to meet the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. Each grant will specify whether the Option Right is an Incentive Stock Option or an option that is not intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option.

(i)    The Board may substitute, without receiving Participant permission, Appreciation Rights payable only in Shares (or Appreciation Rights payable in Shares or cash, or a combination of both, at the Board’s discretion) for outstanding Option Rights; provided , however , that the terms of the substituted Appreciation Rights are substantially the same as the terms for the Option Rights at the date of substitution and the difference between the Market Value Per Share of the underlying Shares and the Base Price of the Appreciation Rights is equivalent to the difference between the Market Value Per Share of the underlying Shares and the Option Price of the Option Rights.  If the Board determines, based upon advice from Inseego’s accountants, that this provision creates adverse accounting consequences for Inseego, it shall be considered null and void.

(j)    No Option Right will be exercisable more than 10 years from the Date of Grant; provided, however, that with respect to Incentive Stock Options issued to 10% Shareholders, the term of each such Option Right shall not exceed five (5) years from the date it is granted.

(k)    No grant of Option Rights may provide for dividends, dividend equivalents or other similar distributions to be paid on such Option Rights.

(l)    No Option Right shall include terms entitling the Participant to a grant of Option Rights or Appreciation Rights on exercise of the Option Right.

5.    Appreciation Rights.  The Board may, from time to time, authorize the granting to any Participant of Appreciation Rights upon such terms and conditions consistent with the following provisions as it may determine:

(a)    An Appreciation Right will be a right of the Participant to receive from Inseego an amount determined by the Board, which will be expressed as a percentage of the Spread (not exceeding 100 percent) at the time of exercise.

(b)    Each grant will specify the Base Price, which may not be less than the Market Value Per Share on the Date of Grant.

(c)    Any grant may specify that the amount payable on exercise of an Appreciation Right may be paid by Inseego in cash, in Shares or in any combination thereof and may retain for the Board the right to elect among those alternatives.

(d)    Any grant may specify that the amount payable on exercise of an Appreciation Right may not exceed a maximum specified by the Board at the Date of Grant.

(e)    Any grant may specify waiting periods before exercise and permissible exercise dates or periods.

(f)    Each grant will specify the period or periods of continuous service by the Participant with Inseego or any Subsidiary that is necessary before such Appreciation Right or installments thereof will become exercisable; 
7

provided, however, that in the case of an Investor Director Provider, service will be deemed continuous as long as such Investor Director Provider has at least one representative on the Board who is an employee, direct or indirect owner, or service provider of such Investor Director Provider.

(g)    Any grant of Appreciation Rights may specify Management Objectives that must be achieved as a condition of the exercise of such Appreciation Rights.

(h)    Successive grants may be made to the same Participant regardless of whether any Appreciation Rights previously granted to the Participant remain unexercised.

(i)    No Appreciation Right granted under the Plan may be exercised more than 10 years from the Date of Grant.

(j)    No grant of Appreciation Rights may provide for dividends, dividend equivalents or other similar distributions to be paid on such Appreciation Rights.

(k)    No Appreciation Right shall include terms entitling the Participant to a grant of Option Rights or Appreciation Rights on exercise of the Appreciation Right.

6.    Restricted Stock.  The Board may, from time to time, authorize the granting of Restricted Stock to Participants upon such terms and conditions consistent with the following provisions as it may determine:

(a)    Each such grant will constitute an immediate transfer of the ownership of Shares to the Participant in consideration of the performance of services, entitling such Participant to voting, dividend and other ownership rights, but such rights shall be subject to such restrictions and the fulfillment of such conditions (which may include the achievement of Management Objectives) during the Restriction Period as the Board may determine.

(b)    Each such grant may be made without additional consideration or in consideration of a payment by such Participant that is less than the Market Value Per Share at the Date of Grant.

(c)    Each such grant will provide that the Restricted Stock covered by such grant that vests upon the passage of time will be subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” within the meaning of Section 83 of the Code for a Restriction Period to be determined by the Board at the Date of Grant or upon achievement of Management Objectives referred to in subparagraph (e) below.

(d)    Each such grant will provide that during, and may provide that after, the Restriction Period, the transferability of the Restricted Stock will be prohibited or restricted in the manner and to the extent prescribed by the Board at the Date of Grant (which restrictions may include, without limitation, rights of repurchase or first refusal in Inseego or provisions subjecting the Restricted Stock to a continuing substantial risk of forfeiture in the hands of any transferee).

(e)    Any grant of Restricted Stock may specify Management Objectives that, if achieved, will result in termination or early termination of the restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock.

(f)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, any grant of Restricted Stock may provide for the earlier termination of restrictions on such Restricted Stock in the event of the retirement, death or disability, or other termination of employment of a Participant, or a Change in Control.

(g)    Any such grant of Restricted Stock may require that any or all dividends or other distributions paid thereon during the Restriction Period be automatically deferred and reinvested in additional shares of Restricted Stock or paid in cash, which may be subject to the same restrictions as the underlying Award; provided, however, that dividends or other 

distributions on Restricted Stock subject to Management Objectives shall be deferred and paid in cash upon the achievement of the applicable Management Objectives and the lapse of all restrictions on such Restricted Stock.

(h)    Unless otherwise directed by the Board, (i) all certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock will be held in custody by Inseego until all restrictions thereon will have lapsed, together with a stock power or powers executed by the Participant in whose name such certificates are registered, endorsed in blank and covering such Shares, or (ii) all shares of Restricted Stock will be held at Inseego’s transfer agent in book entry form with appropriate restrictions relating to the transfer of such shares of Restricted Stock.

7.    Restricted Stock Units.  The Board may, from time to time, authorize the granting of Restricted Stock Units to Participants upon such terms and conditions consistent with the following provisions as it may determine:

(a)    Each such grant will constitute the agreement by Inseego to deliver Shares or cash to the Participant in the future in consideration of the performance of services, but subject to such restrictions and the fulfillment of such conditions (which may include the achievement of Management Objectives) during the Restriction Period as the Board may specify.

(b)    Each such grant may be made without additional consideration or in consideration of a payment by such Participant that is less than the Market Value Per Share at the Date of Grant.

(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, any grant of Restricted Stock Units may provide for the earlier lapse or modification of the Restriction Period in the event of the retirement, death or disability, or other termination of employment of a Participant, or a Change in Control.

(d)    During the Restriction Period, the Participant will have no right to transfer any rights under his or her Award and will have no rights of ownership in the Restricted Stock Units and will have no right to vote them, but the Board may at the Date of Grant, authorize the payment of dividend equivalents on such Restricted Stock Units on either a current, deferred or contingent basis either in cash, additional Restricted Stock Units or in additional Shares; provided , however , that dividend equivalents on Restricted Stock Units subject to Management Objectives shall be deferred and paid in cash upon the achievement of the applicable Management Objectives and the lapse of all restrictions on such Restricted Stock Units.

(e)    Each grant of Restricted Stock Units will specify the time and manner of payment of the Restricted Stock Units that have been earned.

8.    Annual Incentive Awards, Performance Shares and Performance Units.  The Board may, from time to time, authorize the granting of Annual Incentive Awards, Performance Shares and Performance Units that will become payable to a Participant upon achievement of specified Management Objectives during the Performance Period, upon such terms and conditions consistent with the following provisions as it may determine:

(a)    Each grant will specify either the number of shares, or amount of cash, payable with respect to Annual Incentive Awards, Performance Shares or Performance Units to which it pertains, which number or amount payable may be subject to adjustment to reflect changes in compensation or other factors.

(b)    The Performance Period with respect to each Annual Incentive Award, Performance Share or Performance Unit will be such period of time (not less than one year in the case of each Performance Share and Performance Unit), as will be determined by the Board at the time of grant, which Performance Period may be subject to earlier lapse or other modification in the event of the retirement, death or disability, or other termination of employment of a Participant, or a Change in Control.

(c)    Any grant of Annual Incentive Awards, Performance Shares or Performance Units will specify Management Objectives that, if achieved, will result in payment or early payment of the Award and may set forth a formula for determining 
9

the number of Shares, or amount of cash, payable with respect to Annual Incentive Awards, Performance Shares or Performance Units that will be earned if performance is at or above the minimum or threshold level or levels.

(d)    Each grant will specify the time and manner of payment of Annual Incentive Awards, Performance Shares or Performance Units that have been earned. Any grant of Performance Shares or Performance Units may specify that the amount payable with respect thereto may be paid by Inseego in cash, in Shares or in any combination thereof and will retain in the Board the right to elect among those alternatives.

(e)    Any grant of Annual Incentive Awards, Performance Shares or Performance Units may specify that the amount payable or the number of Shares issued with respect thereto may not exceed maximums specified by the Board at the Date of Grant.

(f)    The Board may at the Date of Grant of Performance Shares provide for the payment of dividend equivalents to the holder thereof on either a current, deferred or contingent basis, either in cash or in additional Shares; provided, however, that dividend equivalents on Performance Shares shall be deferred and paid in cash upon the achievement of the applicable Management Objectives.

9.    Other Awards.

(a)    The Board may, subject to limitations under applicable law, grant to any Participant such Other Awards that may be denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, or related to, Shares or factors that may influence the value of such Shares, including, without limitation, awards consisting of securities or other rights convertible or exchangeable into Shares, purchase rights for Shares, awards with value and payment contingent upon performance of the Company or specified Subsidiaries, Affiliates or other business units thereof or any other factors designated by the Board, and awards valued by reference to the book value of Shares or the value of securities of, or the performance of specified Subsidiaries or Affiliates or other business units of Inseego.  The Board shall determine the terms and conditions of such awards.  Shares delivered pursuant to an Award in the nature of a purchase right granted under this Section 9 shall be purchased for such consideration, paid for at such time, by such methods, and in such forms, including, without limitation, cash, Shares, Other Awards, notes or other property, as the Board shall determine.

(b)    Except as otherwise provided in Section 15(b), cash Awards, as independent Awards or as an element of or supplement to any other Award granted under the Plan, may also be granted pursuant to this Section 9.

(c)    The Board may grant Shares as a bonus, or may grant other Awards in lieu of obligations of Inseego or a Subsidiary to pay cash or deliver other property under the Plan or under other plans or compensatory arrangements, subject to such terms as shall be determined by the Board in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code.

10.    Transferability.

(a)    Except as otherwise determined by the Board, no Awards granted under the Plan and no rights under any such Awards shall be assignable, alienable, saleable, or transferable by the Participant except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and in no event shall any such Award granted under the Plan be transferred for value.  Except as otherwise determined by the Board, Option Rights and Appreciation Rights will be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by him or her or, in the event of the Participant’s legal incapacity to do so, by his or her guardian or legal representative acting on behalf of the Participant in a fiduciary capacity under state law and/or court supervision.

(b)    The Board may specify at the Date of Grant that part or all of the Shares that are to be issued by the Company upon the exercise of Option Rights or Appreciation Rights, upon the termination of the Restriction Period applicable to Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units or upon payment under any grant of Performance Shares, Performance Units or Other Awards will be subject to further restrictions on transfer.

11.    Adjustments. The Board shall make or provide for such adjustments in the number of Shares covered by outstanding Option Rights, Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares and Performance Units granted hereunder and, if applicable, in the number of Shares covered by Other Awards, in the Option Price and Base Price provided in outstanding Option Rights or Appreciation Rights, and in the kind of Shares covered thereby, as the Board, in its sole discretion, may determine is equitably required to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants that otherwise would result from (a) any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the Company, (b) any merger, consolidation, spin-off, split-off, spin-out, split-up, reorganization, partial or complete liquidation or other distribution of assets, issuance of rights or warrants to purchase securities, or (c) any other corporate transaction or event having an effect similar to any of the foregoing.  Moreover, in the event of any such transaction or event or in the event of a Change in Control, the Board, in its discretion, may provide in substitution for any or all outstanding Awards under the Plan such alternative consideration (including cash), if any, as it may determine to be equitable in the circumstances and may require in connection therewith the surrender of all Awards so replaced in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code. In addition, for each Option Right or Appreciation Right with an Option Price or Base Price greater than the consideration offered in connection with any such transaction or event or Change in Control, the Board may in its sole discretion elect to cancel such Option Right or Appreciation Right without any payment to the person holding such Option Right or Appreciation Right.  The Board shall also make or provide for such adjustments in the number of Shares specified in Section 3 of the Plan as the Board in its sole discretion, may determine is appropriate to reflect any transaction or event described in this Section 11; provided , however , that any such adjustment to the number specified in Section 3(a)(iii) will be made only if and to the extent that such adjustment would not cause any Option Right intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option to fail so to qualify.

12.    Administration of the Plan.

(a)    The Plan will be administered by the Board, which may from time to time delegate all or any part of its authority under the Plan to the Committee.  To the extent of any such delegation, references in the Plan to the Board will be deemed to be references to such Committee.  A majority of the Committee will constitute a quorum, and the action of the members of the Committee present at any meeting at which a quorum is present, or acts unanimously approved in writing, will be the acts of the Committee.

(b)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, including any rule of the Nasdaq Stock Market, the Board or Committee may delegate its duties under the Plan to a Secondary Committee, subject to such conditions and limitations as the Board or Committee shall prescribe; provided, however, that: (i) only the Board or Committee may grant an Award to a Participant who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act; and (ii) the Secondary Committee shall report periodically to the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, regarding the nature and scope of the Awards granted pursuant to the authority delegated.  To the extent of any such delegation, references or deemed references in the Plan to the Committee will be deemed to be references to such Secondary Committee.  A majority of the Secondary Committee will constitute a quorum, and the action of the members of the Secondary Committee present at any meeting at which a quorum is present, or acts unanimously approved in writing, will be the acts of the Secondary Committee.

(c)    The Board shall have full and exclusive discretionary power to interpret the terms and the intent of this Plan and any Evidence of Award or other agreement or document ancillary to or in connection with this Plan, to determine eligibility for Awards and to adopt such rules, regulations, forms, instruments, and guidelines for administering this Plan as the Board may deem necessary or proper. Such authority shall include, but not be limited to, selecting Award recipients, establishing all Award terms and conditions, including the terms and conditions set forth in an Evidence of Award, granting Awards as an alternative to or as the form of payment for grants or rights earned or due under compensation plans or arrangements of the Company, construing any ambiguous provision of the Plan or any Evidence of Award, and, subject to Sections 15 and 18, adopting modifications and amendments to this Plan or any Evidence of Award, including without limitation, any that are necessary to comply with the laws of the countries and other jurisdictions in which Inseego, its Affiliates, and/or its Subsidiaries operate. The grant of any Award that specifies Management Objectives that must be 
11

achieved before such Award can be earned or paid will specify that, before such Award will be earned and paid, the Board must certify that the Management Objectives have been satisfied.

(d)    The interpretation and construction by the Board of any provision of this Plan or of any Evidence of Award or other agreement or document ancillary to or in connection with this Plan and any determination by the Board pursuant to any provision of the Plan or of any such Evidence of Award or other agreement or document ancillary to or in connection with this Plan will be final and conclusive.  No member of the Board will be liable for any such action or determination made in good faith.

(e)    Any Participant who believes he or she is being denied any benefit or right under the Plan or under any Award or Evidence of Award may file a written claim with the Committee.  Any claim must be delivered to the Committee within six month of the specific event giving rise to the claim.  Untimely claims will not be processed and shall be deemed denied.  The Committee, or its designee, generally will notify the Participant of its decision in writing as soon as administratively practicable.  Claims shall be deemed denied if the Committee does not respond in writing within 180 days of the date the written claim is delivered to the Committee.  The Committee’s decision is final and conclusive and binding on all Persons.  No lawsuit or arbitration relating to the Plan may be filed or commenced before a written claim is filed with the Committee and is denied or deemed denied, and any lawsuit must be filed within one year of such denial or deemed denial or be forever barred.

13.    Non U.S. Participants. In order to facilitate the making of any grant or combination of grants under the Plan, the Board may provide for such special terms for Awards to Participants who are foreign nationals or who are employed by Inseego or any Subsidiary outside of the United States of America, as the Board may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy or custom.  Moreover, the Board may approve such supplements to or amendments, restatements or alternative versions of the Plan (including without limitation, sub-plans) as it may consider necessary or appropriate for such purposes, without thereby affecting the terms of the Plan as in effect for any other purpose, and the Secretary or other appropriate officer of Inseego may certify any such document as having been approved and adopted in the same manner as the Plan.  No such special terms, supplements, amendments or restatements, however, will include any provisions that are inconsistent with the terms of the Plan as then in effect unless the Plan could have been amended to eliminate such inconsistency without further approval by the stockholders of Inseego.

14.    Withholding Taxes.  To the extent that the Company is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with any payment made or benefit realized by a Participant or other Person under the Plan, and the amounts available to the Company for such withholding are insufficient, it will be a condition to the receipt of such payment or the realization of such benefit that the Participant or such other Person make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for payment of the balance of such taxes required to be withheld, which arrangements (in the discretion of the Board) may include relinquishment of a portion of such benefit.  If a Participant’s benefit is to be received in the form of Shares, and such Participant fails to make arrangements for the payment of tax, the Company shall withhold such Shares having a value that shall not exceed the statutory maximum amount permitted to be withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when a Participant is required to pay the Company an amount required to be withheld under applicable income and employment tax laws, the Participant may elect, or the Company may require the Participant, to satisfy the obligation, in whole or in part, by electing to have withheld, from the Shares required to be delivered to the Participant, Shares having a value equal to the amount required to be withheld, or by delivering to the Company other Shares held by such Participant. The Shares used for tax withholding will be valued at an amount equal to the Market Value Per Share of such Shares on the date the benefit is to be included in Participant’s income.  Participants shall also make such arrangements as the Company may require for the payment of any withholding tax obligation that may arise in connection with the disposition of Shares acquired upon the exercise of Option Rights.

15.    Amendments, Etc.

(a)    The Board may at any time and from time to time amend the Plan in whole or in part; provided, however, that if an amendment to the Plan must be approved by the stockholders of Inseego in order to comply with applicable law or the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market or, if the Shares are not traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, the principal national securities exchange upon which the Shares are traded or quoted, then, such amendment will be subject to stockholder approval and will not be effective unless and until such approval has been obtained.

(b)    Except in connection with a corporate transaction or event described in Section 11 of the Plan, the terms of outstanding Awards may not be amended to reduce the Option Price of outstanding Option Rights or the Base Price of outstanding Appreciation Rights, and no outstanding Option Rights or Appreciation Rights may be cancelled in exchange for other Awards, or cancelled in exchange for Option Rights or Appreciation Rights with an Option Price or Base Price, as applicable, that is less than the Option Price of the original Option Rights or Base Price of the original Appreciation Rights, as applicable, or cancelled in exchange for cash, without stockholder approval. This Section 15(b) is intended to prohibit (without stockholder approval) the repricing of “underwater” Option Rights and Appreciation Rights and will not be construed to prohibit the adjustments provided for in Section 11 of the Plan.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, this Section 15(b) may not be amended without approval by Inseego’s stockholders.

(c)    If permitted by Section 409A of the Code, in case of termination of employment by reason of death, disability or normal or early retirement, or in the case of unforeseeable emergency or other special circumstances, of a Participant who holds an Option Right or Appreciation Right not immediately exercisable in full, or any Restricted Stock or any Restricted Stock Units as to which the Restriction Period has not been completed, or any Annual Incentive Awards, Performance Shares or Performance Units which have not been fully earned, or any Other Awards subject to any vesting schedule or transfer restriction, or who holds Shares subject to any transfer restriction imposed pursuant to Section 10(b) of the Plan, the Board may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the time at which such Option Right, Appreciation Right or Other Award may be exercised or the time when such Restriction Period will end or the time at which such Annual Incentive Awards, Performance Shares or Performance Units will be deemed to have been fully earned or the time when such transfer restriction will terminate or may waive any other limitation or requirement under any such Award.

(d)    Subject to Section 16(d) of the Plan, the Board may amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted under the Plan prospectively or retroactively, but subject to Section 11 of the Plan, no such amendment shall impair the rights of any Participant without his or her consent, except as necessary to comply with changes in law or accounting rules applicable to Inseego.  The Board may, in its discretion, terminate the Plan at any time.

Termination of the Plan will not affect the rights of Participants or their successors under any Awards outstanding hereunder on the date of termination.

16.    Compliance with the Code.

(a)    To the extent applicable, it is intended that the Plan and any grants made hereunder comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, so that the income inclusion provisions of Section 409A of the Code do not apply to the Participants.  The Plan and any grants made hereunder shall be administered in a manner consistent with this intent. Any reference in the Plan to Section 409A of the Code will also include any regulations or any other formal guidance promulgated with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service.

(b)    Neither a Participant nor any of a Participant’s creditors or beneficiaries shall have the right to subject any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) payable under the Plan and grants hereunder to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment.  Except as permitted under Section 409A of the Code, any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) payable to a Participant or for a Participant’s benefit under the Plan and grants hereunder may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by a Participant to the Company or any of its Affiliates.

(c)    If, at the time of a Participant’s separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), (i) the Participant shall be a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and using the identification methodology selected by Inseego from time to time) and (ii) Inseego shall make a good faith determination that an amount payable hereunder constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in Section 409A of the Code in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code, then Inseego shall not pay such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but shall instead pay it, without interest, on the tenth business day of the month after such six-month period.

(d)    Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan and grants hereunder to the contrary, in light of the uncertainty with respect to the proper application of the Code, Inseego reserves the right to make amendments to the Plan and grants hereunder as Inseego deems necessary or desirable to avoid the imposition of taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code, or adverse tax consequences under another Code provision, without Participant consent.  In any case, a Participant shall be solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on a Participant or for a Participant’s account in connection with the Plan and grants hereunder (including any taxes, penalties, and interest under Section 409A of the Code or another Code provision), and neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold a Participant nor anyone other than a Participant, including a Participant’s estate or beneficiaries, harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties.

17.    Governing Law.  The Plan and all grants and Awards and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal substantive laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

18.    Effective Date/Termination. The Plan originally became effective as of June 18, 2009.  This amendment and restatement was adopted by the Board on May 11, 2018 and will become effective as of the date of shareholder approval, if ever.  No grant will be made under the Plan more than 10 years after May 11, 2018, but all grants made on or prior to such date will continue in effect thereafter subject to the terms of the Evidence of Award conveying such grants and of the Plan.

19.    Miscellaneous.

(a)    Each grant of an Award will be evidenced by an Evidence of Award and will contain such terms and provisions, consistent with the Plan, as the Board may approve.

(b)    Inseego will not be required to issue any fractional Shares pursuant to the Plan.  The Board may provide for the elimination of fractional Shares or for the settlement of fractional Shares in cash.

(c)    The Plan will not confer upon any Participant any right with respect to continuance of employment or other service with Inseego or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, nor will it interfere in any way with any right Inseego or any Subsidiary or Affiliate would otherwise have to terminate such Participant’s employment or other service at any time.

(d)    No person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the fact that a target Award is established for the job value or level for an Employee shall not entitle any Employee to an Award hereunder. Except as provided specifically herein, a Participant or a transferee of an Award shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by any Award until the date as of which he or she is actually recorded as the holder of such Shares upon the stock records of the Company.

(e)    Determinations by the Board or the Committee under the Plan relating to the form, amount and terms and conditions of grants and Awards need not be uniform, and may be made selectively among persons who receive or are eligible to receive grants and Awards under the Plan, whether or not such persons are similarly situated.

(f)    To the extent that any provision of the Plan would prevent any Option Right that was intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option from qualifying as such, that provision will be null and void with respect to such Option Right. Such provision, however, will remain in effect for other Option Rights and there will be no further effect on any provision of the Plan.

(g)    No Award under the Plan may be exercised by the holder thereof if such exercise, and the receipt of cash or stock thereunder, would be, in the opinion of counsel selected by the Board, contrary to law or the regulations of any duly constituted authority having jurisdiction over the Plan.

(h)    Absence or leave approved by a duly constituted officer of Inseego or any of its Subsidiaries shall not be considered interruption or termination of service of any Employee for any purposes of the Plan or Awards granted hereunder.

(i)    The Board may condition the grant of any Award or combination of Awards authorized under the Plan on the surrender or deferral by the Participant of his or her right to receive a cash bonus or other compensation otherwise payable by Inseego or a Subsidiary to the Participant.

(j)    If any provision of the Plan is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Board, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended or limited in scope to conform to applicable laws or, in the discretion of the Board, it shall be stricken and the remainder of the Plan shall remain in full force and effect.

(k)    Any Evidence of Award may: (i) provide for recoupment by the Company of all or any portion of an Award upon such terms and conditions as the Board or Committee may specify in such Evidence of Award; or (ii) include restrictive covenants, including, without limitation, non-competition, non-disparagement and confidentiality conditions or restrictions, that the Participant must comply with during employment by or service to the Company and/or within a specified period after termination as a condition to the Participant’s receipt or retention of all or any portion of an Award.  This Section 19(k) shall not be the Company’s exclusive remedy with respect to such matters.  This Section 19(k) shall not apply after a Change in Control, unless otherwise specifically provided in the Evidence of Award.

2018 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

						
	The Plan and Other Agreements	The text of the Plan is incorporated into this Award Agreement by reference.  In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Award Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall govern.  Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Award Agreement are defined in the Plan.
Any amendment to the Plan shall be deemed to be an amendment to this Award Agreement to the extent that the amendment is applicable hereto; provided, however, that no amendment shall adversely affect your rights under this Award Agreement without your consent (provided, however, that your consent shall not be required to an amendment that is deemed necessary by the Company to ensure compliance with Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”)).
The Option Grant, this Award Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding these Options.  Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning these Options are hereby superseded entirely.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a written employment agreement, change-in-control agreement, severance agreement or other similar written agreement or arrangement (an “Employment Arrangement”) that has been approved by the Board or a committee thereof provides for greater benefits to the Optionee than provided in the Option Grant, this Award Agreement or the Plan with respect to (a) vesting of the Options upon termination of employment or in the event of a Change in Control, or (b) exercisability of the Options following termination of employment, then the terms of the Employment Arrangement with respect to these matters shall supersede the terms of the Option Grant and this Award Agreement to the extent permitted by the Plan.

	Nonstatutory Stock Option	These Options are not intended to be Incentive Stock Options under section 422 of the Code and will be interpreted accordingly.
	Vesting	These Options are exercisable only before they expire and then only with respect to those that are vested.  These Options will vest according to the Vesting Schedule on the attached cover sheet.
	Term	These Options will expire in any event at the close of business at Company headquarters on the 10th anniversary of the Date of Option Grant, as shown on the cover sheet.  These Options will expire earlier if your service terminates, as described below.
	Regular Termination	If your service terminates for any reason, other than death, Disability (as defined below), or Cause (as defined below), then, except as otherwise provided in an Employment Arrangement, these Options will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the 90th calendar day after your service termination date.
	Termination for Cause	If your service is terminated for Cause, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, then immediately upon such event you automatically forfeit all rights to these Options and they shall immediately expire.  For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Cause” shall mean the termination of your service due to your commission of any act of fraud, embezzlement or dishonesty; any unauthorized use or disclosure by you of confidential information or trade secrets of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof; or any other intentional misconduct on your part that adversely affects the business or affairs of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof in a material manner.  This definition shall not restrict in any way the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s or Affiliate’s right to discharge you for any other reason, nor shall this definition be deemed to be inclusive of all the acts or omissions which constitute “Cause” for purposes other than this Award Agreement.

	Death	If your service terminates because of your death, then, except as otherwise provided in an Employment Arrangement, these Options will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date twelve (12) months after the date of death.  At any time during that twelve (12) month period, your estate or heirs may exercise those Options which were vested as of the date of your death.
	Disability	If your service terminates because of your Disability, then, except as otherwise provided in an Employment Arrangement, these Options will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date twelve (12) months after your service termination date.  At any time during that twelve (12) month period, you may exercise those Options which were vested as of the date your service terminated because of your Disability.  For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Disability” shall mean that you are unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.

						
	Leave of Absence	For purposes of these Options, your service is not interrupted or terminated when you go on a leave of absence that was approved in writing by a duly constituted officer of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof.  Your service terminates in any event when the approved leave ends unless you immediately return to active work at the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof.
The Company, in its sole discretion, determines which leaves count for this purpose, as well as the point in time your service terminates for all purposes under the Plan.

	Method of Exercise	When you wish to exercise any of these Options, you must provide written notice to the Company, or use such other method of exercise as may be specified by the Company, including exercise by electronic means on the web site of the Company’s third-party equity plan administrator, which will specify how many Options you wish to exercise.  If someone else wants to exercise these Options after your death, that person must prove to the Company’s satisfaction that he or she is entitled to do so.
	Form of Payment	When you exercise Options, you must remit payment of the Option Price for the Shares you are purchasing at that time and any Tax-Related Items (as defined below).  Payment may be made in one or a combination of the following forms:
Cash, your personal check, a cashier’s check or a money order.
By delivery (on a form or by electronic means prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker to sell Shares and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate Option Price and any Tax-Related Items.

						
	Withholding Taxes	Regardless of any action the Company or your employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer.  You further acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Options, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of the Options, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (b) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Options to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  You acknowledge that neither the Company nor the Employer shall have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold you harmless from any or all of such Tax-Related Items.  Further, if you are subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (or former Employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
1. withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Employer; or
2. withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired at exercise, either through a voluntary sale or through a sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization); or
3. withholding in Shares to be issued at exercise.
To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the Options exercised, notwithstanding that a number of Shares is retained solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of your participation in the Plan.
Finally, you will pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  The Company may refuse to issue or deliver Shares or the proceeds from the sale of Shares if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

	Transfer of Options	Prior to your death, only you may exercise these Options, or in the case of legal incapacity, your guardian or legal representative may act on your behalf.  You cannot transfer or assign these Options.  For instance, you may not sell the Options themselves or use them as security for a loan.  If you attempt to do any of these things, the Options will immediately become invalid.  You may, however, dispose of these Options in your will.  Regardless of any marital property settlement agreement, the Company is not obligated to honor your spouse’s interest in these Options in any way.
	Retention Rights	These Options or this Award Agreement do not give you the right to be retained or to continue to be retained by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof in any employment or other capacity.  The Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof reserves the right to terminate your service at any time and for any reason.
	Stockholder Rights	You, or your estate or heirs, have no rights as a stockholder of the Company until you are recorded as the holder of the Shares upon the stock records of the Company.  No adjustments are made for dividends or other rights if the applicable record date occurs before you are recorded as the holder of the Shares, except as otherwise described in the Plan.
	Adjustments	In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in the Company stock, the number of Shares covered by these Options and the Option Price may be adjusted (and rounded down to the nearest whole number) pursuant to the Plan.  These Options shall be subject to the terms of the agreement of merger, liquidation or reorganization in the event the Company is subject to such corporate activity.

						
	No Advice Regarding Grant	The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding your participation in the Plan, or your acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares.  You are hereby advised to consult your own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding your participation in the Plan and before taking any action related to the Plan.
	Not a Contract of Employment	By accepting this Award Agreement, you acknowledge and agree that (a) any person whose service is terminated before full vesting of an award, such as the one granted to you by this Option grant, could claim that his or her service was terminated to preclude vesting; (b) you will never make such a claim; (c) nothing in this Award Agreement or the Plan confers on you any right to continue a service relationship with the Company, nor shall anything in this Award Agreement or the Plan affect in any way your right or the rights of the Company or the Employer to terminate your service at any time, with or without cause; and (d) the Company would not have granted this Option to you but for these acknowledgments and agreements.
	Applicable Law	The Option grant and the provisions of this Award Agreement are governed by, and subject to, the internal substantive laws but not the choice of law rules of the State of Delaware, as provided in the Plan.  For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises directly or indirectly from the relationship of the parties evidenced by this grant or this Award Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State of California, and agree that such litigation shall be conducted only in the courts of San Diego County, California, or the federal courts of the United States for the Southern District of California, and no other courts, where this grant is made and/or to be performed.
	Electronic Delivery	The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the Options granted under and participation in the Plan or future options that may be granted under the Plan by electronic means.  You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and to agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company.
	Severability	The provisions of this Award Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

______________________________________
Stock Unit Award Agreement
1.The Plan and Other Agreements.  The text of the Plan is incorporated into this Award Agreement by reference.  In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Award Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall govern.  Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Award Agreement are defined in the Plan.  Any amendment to the Plan shall be deemed to be an amendment to this Award Agreement to the extent that the amendment is applicable hereto; provided, however, that no amendment shall adversely affect your rights under this Award Agreement without your consent (provided, however, that your consent shall not be required to an amendment that is deemed necessary by the Company to ensure compliance with Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”).  The Stock Unit Grant, this Award Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding these Stock Units.  Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning these Stock Units are hereby superseded entirely.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a written employment agreement, change-in-control agreement, severance agreement or other similar written agreement or arrangement (an “Employment Arrangement”) that has been approved by the Board or a committee thereof provides for greater benefits to the Grantee than provided in the Stock Unit Grant, this Award Agreement or the Plan with respect to vesting of the Stock Units upon termination of employment or in the event of a Change in Control, then the terms of the Employment Arrangement with respect to these matters shall supersede the terms of the Stock Unit Grant and this Award Agreement to the extent permitted by the Plan.
2.Termination of Service; Leaves of Absence.  Subject to Section 1 above, this Award shall be canceled and become automatically null and void immediately upon termination of your service to the Company or its Subsidiary or Affiliate for any reason, but only to the extent you have not become vested, pursuant to the foregoing terms, on or at the time your service to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof ends.  For purposes of the Award, your service is not interrupted or terminated when you go on a leave of absence that is approved in writing by a duly constituted officer of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof.  Your service terminates in any event when the approved leave ends unless you immediately return to active work at the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof.  The Company, in its sole discretion, determines which leaves count for this purpose, as well as the point in time your service terminates for all purposes under the Plan.
3.Satisfaction of Vesting Restrictions.  No Shares will be issued before you complete the requirements that are necessary for you to vest in your Stock Units.  As soon as practicable after the date on which your Stock Units vest in whole or in part, the Company will issue to you, free from vesting restrictions (but subject to such legends as the Company determines to be appropriate), one Share for each vested Stock Unit; provided, however, that, by accepting this Award Agreement, you authorize the Company to withhold taxes pursuant to Section 7 below.
4.Investment Purposes.  By accepting this Award, you represent and warrant to the Company that any Shares issued to you pursuant to your Stock Units will be for investment for your own account and not with a view to, for resale in connection with, or with an intent of participating directly or indirectly in, any distribution of such Shares within the meaning of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  You further acknowledge and agree that your ability to sell any Shares issued to you pursuant to your Stock Units may be limited by applicable securities laws and the Company’s Insider Trading Policy then in effect.
5.Dividend Equivalents.  When Shares are delivered to you pursuant to the vesting of your Stock Units, you shall also be entitled to receive, with respect to each Share issued or withheld by the Company pursuant to Section 3, (a) a number of Shares equal to the per Share stock dividends which were declared and paid to the holders of Shares between the Date of Grant and the date such Shares are delivered to you, and (b) a number of Shares having a Fair 

Market Value (on the date of each cash dividend payment date) equal to any per Share cash dividends that were paid to the holders of Shares based on a record date falling between the Date of Grant and the date such Shares are delivered to you.  To the extent that your service ends before vesting of all the Stock Units, you will forfeit all dividend equivalents (whether paid in cash or in stock) attributable to all Shares underlying such unvested Stock Units.
6.Restrictions on Transfer of Award.  Your rights under this Award Agreement may not be sold, pledged, or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of the Board.  If you attempt to do any of these things, the Stock Units will immediately become invalid.  You may, however, dispose of these Stock Units in your will.  Regardless of any marital property settlement agreement, the Company is not obligated to honor your spouse’s interest in these Stock Units in any way.
7.Income Taxes and Deferred Compensation.  Regardless of any action the Company or your employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by you is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer.  You further acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Stock Units, including the grant of the Stock Units, the vesting of Stock Units, the settlement of the Stock Units with Shares, the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired at vesting and the receipt of any dividends; and (b) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Stock Units to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  You acknowledge that neither the Company nor the Employer shall have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold you harmless from any or all of such Tax-Related Items.  Further, if you are subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (or former Employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
The Board shall have the sole discretion to interpret the requirements of the Code for purposes of the Plan and this Award Agreement.  The Board has the discretion to unilaterally modify this Award as necessary to conform with U.S. law.  This includes the right, to the extent the Company deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, of the Board to unilaterally amend or modify the Plan and/or this Award Agreement to conform with applicable U.S. law, including to ensure that the grant and administration of this Award qualifies for exemption from the application of the taxes imposed by Section 409A of the Code.  Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Company makes no representation that this Award is not now, nor in the future, subject to the taxes imposed by Section 409A of the Code nor undertakes to preclude such taxes from applying to this Award.
Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you shall pay, or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company or to the Employer (in their sole discretion) to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, you authorize the Company or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
1. withholding a number of Shares otherwise deliverable to you from time to time equal to the Retained Share Amount (as defined below); or
2. withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Employer; or
3. withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon settlement of the Stock Units, either through a voluntary sale or through a sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization).
To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of Shares is retained solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of your participation in the Plan.

The “Retained Share Amount” shall mean a number of Shares equal to the quotient of the minimum statutory tax withholding obligation of the Company triggered by the vesting of your Award on the relevant Vesting Date, divided by the Fair Market Value of one Share on the relevant Vesting Date or as otherwise provided in the Plan.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding a number of Shares as described herein, you understand that you will be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the settled Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of the settlement of the Stock Units.
You shall pay to the Company or to the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of your receipt of Stock Units, the vesting of Stock Units, or the settlement of vested Stock Units with Shares that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  The Company may refuse to deliver Shares to you if you fail to comply with your obligation in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
8.Notices.  Any notice or communication required or permitted by any provision of this Award Agreement to be given to you shall be in writing and shall be delivered electronically, personally, or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to you at the last address that the Company or the Employer had for you on its records.  Each party may, from time to time, by notice to the other party hereto, specify a new address for delivery of notices relating to this Award Agreement.  Any such notice shall be deemed to be given as of the date such notice is personally delivered or properly mailed.
The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to Stock Units awarded under the Plan or future Stock Units that may be awarded under the Plan by electronic means or request your consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means.  You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company.
9.Binding Effect.  Except as otherwise provided in this Award Agreement or in the Plan, every covenant, term, and provision of this Award Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors, transferees, and assigns.
10.Modifications.  Subject to Section 7 hereof, this Award Agreement may not be modified or amended without your prior consent.
11.Headings.  Section and other headings contained in this Award Agreement are for reference purposes only and are not intended to describe, interpret, define or limit the scope or intent of this Award Agreement or any provision hereof.
12.Severability.  The provisions of this Award Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.
13.Stockholder Rights.  You, or your estate or heirs, have no rights as a stockholder of the Company until you are recorded as the holder of the Shares upon the stock records of the Company.  No adjustments are made for dividends or other rights if the applicable record date occurs before you are recorded as the holder of the Shares, except as otherwise described in the Plan.
14.Adjustments.  In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in the Company stock, the number of Shares covered by these Stock Units may be adjusted (and rounded down to the nearest whole number) pursuant to the Plan.  These Stock Units shall be subject to the terms of the agreement of merger, liquidation or reorganization in the event the Company is subject to such corporate activity.
15.No Advice Regarding Grant.  The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendation regarding your participation in the Plan, or your acquisition or sale of the underlying
