 Overland Storage, Inc. 

2009 Equity Incentive Plan 
 ARTICLE 1 INTRODUCTION. 
 The Board adopted the Plan effective as of the
Effective Date conditioned upon and subject to approval by the Company’s shareholders on or before the first anniversary of the Effective Date. The purpose of the Plan is to promote the long-term success of the Company and the creation of
shareholder value by (a) encouraging Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants to focus on critical long-range objectives, (b) encouraging the attraction and retention of Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants with exceptional
qualifications and (c) linking Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants directly to shareholder interests through increased stock ownership. The Plan seeks to achieve this purpose by providing for Awards in the form of Restricted Shares,
Stock Units, Options (which may constitute incentive stock options or nonstatutory stock options) or stock appreciation rights. 

The Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California (except its choice-of-law
provisions). 
 ARTICLE 2 ADMINISTRATION. 
 2.1 Committee Composition. The Committee shall administer the Plan. The Committee shall consist exclusively of two or more Directors of the Company, who shall be appointed by the Board. In
addition, the composition of the Committee shall satisfy: 
 (a) Such requirements as the Securities and Exchange Commission
may establish for administrators acting under plans intended to qualify for exemption under Rule 16b-3 (or its successor) under the Exchange Act; and 
 (b) Such requirements as the Internal Revenue Service may establish for outside directors acting under plans intended to qualify for exemption under section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code. 

2.2 Committee Authority. Subject to the specific provisions and limitations of the Plan, and Applicable Law, the Committee shall
have the authority and power to (a) select the Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants who are to receive Awards under the Plan, (b) determine the type, number, vesting requirements, performance conditions (if any) and their degree of
satisfaction, and other features and conditions of such Awards, (c) correct any defect, supply any omission, and reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Award agreement, (d) accelerate the vesting, or extend the post-termination
exercise term, or waive restrictions, of Awards at any time and under such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, (e) interpret the Plan and any Award agreements, (f) adopt such plans or subplans as may be deemed necessary or
appropriate to provide for the participation by non-U.S. employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, which plans and/or subplans shall be attached hereto as appendices, and (g) make all other decisions relating to the
operation of the Plan. The Committee may adopt such rules or guidelines as it deems appropriate to implement the Plan. 
 2.3
Committee for Non-Officer Grants. The Board may also appoint a secondary committee of the Board, which shall be composed of two or more Directors of the Company who need not satisfy the requirements of Sections 2.1(a) and 2.1(b). Such secondary
committee may administer the Plan with respect to Employees and Consultants who are not Officers or Directors of the Company, may grant Awards under the Plan to such Employees and Consultants and may determine all features and conditions of such
Awards. Within the limitations of this Section 2.3, any reference in the Plan to the Committee shall include such secondary committee. 

  
 1 

  
 2.4 Scope of
Discretion. On all matters for which the Plan confers the authority, right or power on the Board, the Committee, or a secondary committee to make decisions, that body may make those decisions in its sole and absolute discretion. Those decisions
will be final, binding and conclusive and shall be afforded the maximum deference under Applicable Law. In making its decisions, the Board, Committee or secondary committee need not treat all persons eligible to receive Awards, all Participants, or
all Awards the same way. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and except as provided in Section 16.2, the discretion of the Board, Committee or secondary committee is subject to the specific provisions and specific limitations of
the Plan, as well as all rights conferred on specific Participants by Award agreements and other agreements entered into pursuant to the Plan. 
 2.5 Rules of Interpretation. Any reference to a “Section” or “Article,” without more, is to a Section or Article of the Plan. Captions and titles are used for convenience in the
Plan and shall not, by themselves, determine the meaning of the Plan. Except when otherwise indicated by the context, the singular includes the plural and vice versa. Any reference to a statute is also a reference to the applicable rules and
regulations adopted under that statute. Any reference to a statute, rule or regulation, or to a section of a statute, rule or regulation, is a reference to that statute, rule, regulation, or section as amended from time to time, both before and
after the Effective Date and including any successor provisions. 
 2.6 Unfunded Plan. The Plan shall be unfunded.
Although bookkeeping accounts may be established with respect to Participants, any such accounts will be used merely as a convenience. The Company shall not be required to segregate any assets on account of the Plan, the grant of Awards, or the
issuance of Common Shares. The Company and the Committee shall not be deemed to be a trustee of stock or cash to be awarded under the Plan. Any obligations of the Company to any Participant shall be based solely upon contracts entered into under the
Plan. No such obligations shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge or other encumbrance on any assets of the Company. Neither the Company nor the Committee shall be required to give any security or bond for the performance of any such
obligations. 
 2.7 Limitation of Liability. The Company (or members of the Board, Committee or secondary committee)
shall not be liable to a Participant or other persons as to: (i) the non-issuance or sale of Common Shares as to which the Company has been unable to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority deemed by the Company’s
counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Common Shares hereunder; and (ii) any unexpected or adverse tax consequence realized by any Participant or other person due to the grant, receipt, exercise or settlement of any
Award granted hereunder. 
 2.8 Electronic Communications. Subject to compliance with Applicable Law and/or regulations,
an Award agreement or other documentation or notices relating to the Plan and/or Awards may be communicated to Participants by electronic media. 
 2.9 Indemnification. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each member of the Committee, or of the Board, or any persons (including without limitation Employees and Officers) who are
delegated by the Board or Committee to perform administrative functions in connection with the Plan, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from (i) any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or
reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan or
any Award agreement, and (ii) from any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such claim, action, suit, or proceeding against him
or her, provided he or she shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be
exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, by contract, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or under any power that the Company may have to
indemnify them or hold them harmless. 
 2.10 Suspension or Termination of Awards. If at any time (including after a
notice of exercise has been delivered) the Committee (or the Board), reasonably believes that a Participant has committed an act of Cause (which includes a failure to act), the Committee (or Board) may suspend the Participant’s right to
exercise any Option or SAR (or payment of a Cash Award or vesting of Restricted Stock Grants or Stock Units) pending a determination of whether there was in fact an act of Cause. If the Committee (or the Board) determines a Participant has committed
an act of Cause, neither the Participant nor his or her estate shall be entitled to exercise any outstanding Option or SAR whatsoever and all of Participant’s outstanding Awards shall then terminate without consideration. Any determination by
the Committee (or the Board) with respect to the foregoing shall be final, conclusive and binding on all interested parties. 

  
 2 

  
 2.11 Clawback
Policy. The Company may (i) cause the cancellation of any Award, (ii) require reimbursement of any Award by a Participant and (iii) effect any other right of recoupment of equity or other compensation provided under this Plan or
otherwise in accordance with Company policies and/or applicable law (each, a “Clawback Policy”). In addition, a Participant may be required to repay to the Company certain previously paid compensation, whether provided under this Plan or
an Award Agreement or otherwise, in accordance with the Clawback Policy. 
 ARTICLE 3 SHARES AVAILABLE FOR GRANTS. 

3.1 Basic Limitation. Common Shares issued pursuant to the Plan shall be authorized but unissued or
reacquired shares. The maximum aggregate number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan is equal to the sum of: (i) 3,692,8151 Common Shares plus (ii) any Common Shares subject to any outstanding awards under the Prior Plans that on or after
the Shareholder Approval Date are either forfeited or are repurchased at original cost by the Company plus any Common Shares that are not issued to the award holder as a result of a Prior Plan outstanding award being exercised or settled on or after
the Shareholder Approval Date for less than the full number of Common Shares that are subject to such exercise or settlement, subject to maximum of 1,404,769 Common Shares for this clause (ii). The aggregate number of Common Shares that may be
issued under the Plan through ISOs is 5,097,584 Common Shares. The limitations of this Section 3.1 shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Article 10. 
 3.2 Dividend Equivalents. Any dividend equivalents paid or credited under the Plan shall not be applied against the number of Common Shares available for Awards. 

3.3 Share Utilization. If Common Shares issued upon the exercise of Options are forfeited, then such Common Shares shall again
become available for Awards under the Plan. If Restricted Shares are forfeited, then such Common Shares shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. If Options or SARs are forfeited or terminate for any other reason before being
exercised, then the corresponding Common Shares shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. Subject to Article 12, if Stock Units are forfeited or terminate for any other reason before being settled, then the corresponding Common Shares
shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. Subject to Article 12, if Stock Units are settled, then only the number of Common Shares (if any) actually issued in settlement of such Stock Units shall reduce the number of Common Shares
available under Section 3.1 and the balance shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. If SARs are exercised, then only the number of Common Shares (if any) actually issued in settlement of such SARs shall reduce the number of
Common Shares available under Section 3.1 and the balance shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. The provisions of this Section 3.3 shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Article 10. 

ARTICLE 4 ELIGIBILITY. 

4.1 Incentive Stock Options. Only Employees who are common-law employees of the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary shall be eligible
for the grant of ISOs. 
 4.2 Other Grants. Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants, including prospective
Employees, Directors and Consultants conditioned on the beginning of their Service, shall be eligible for the grant of Restricted Shares, Stock Units, NSOs or SARs. 
  

 

	1	 Prior to 2/16/10, the aggregate share limit for this Plan was 416,666 shares (excluding shares originally authorized for issuance under the Prior
Plans). On 4/23/10, Stockholders approved amendments to the Plan that increased this aggregate Share Limit by an additional 3,276,149 shares (so that the new aggregate Share Limit for the plan is 3,692,815 shares, in addition to the shares
originally authorized and not issued under the Prior Plans as set forth above). The ISO limit referred to in Section 3.1 is also increased by an additional 3,276,149 shares. 

  
 3 

  
 4.3
Section 162(m) Limitation. 
 (a) Options And SARs. For so long as the Company is a
“publicly held corporation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and with respect to grants of Options or SARs that are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Code Section 162(m), no Employee may
be granted one or more SARs and Options within any Fiscal Year under the Plan to purchase more than
1,300,0002 Common Shares under Options or to receive
compensation calculated with reference to more than that number of Common Shares under SARs, with such limit subject to adjustment pursuant to Article 10. If an Option or SAR is cancelled without being exercised, that cancelled Option or SAR shall
continue to be counted against the limit on Options and SARs that may be granted to any individual under this Section 4.3(a). 
 (b) Cash Awards And Stock Awards. Any Award intended as “qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of section 162(m) of the Code must vest or become exercisable
contingent on the achievement of one or more Objectively Determinable Performance Conditions. The Committee shall have the discretion to determine the time and manner of compliance with section 162(m) of the Code. 

ARTICLE 5 OPTIONS. 

5.1 Stock Option Agreement. Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement between the
Optionee and the Company. Such Option shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The Stock Option Agreement shall specify whether the Option is an ISO or an
NSO. The provisions of the various Stock Option Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. Options may be granted in consideration of a reduction in the Optionee’s other compensation. 

5.2 Number of Shares. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the number of Common Shares subject to the Option and shall
provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Article 10. 
 5.3 Exercise Price. Each Stock Option
Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price; provided that the Exercise Price under an Option shall in no event be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on the date of grant (and shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market
Value for an ISO granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder). 
 5.4 Exercisability and Term. Each Stock Option Agreement shall
specify the date or event when all or any installment of the Option is to become exercisable. The Stock Option Agreement shall also specify the term of the Option; provided that the term of an Option shall in no event exceed 10 years from the date
of grant (and shall not exceed 5 years from the date of an ISO grant for a Ten Percent Shareholder). If an Optionee changes status from an Employee to a Consultant or Outside Director, that Optionee’s ISOs will become NSOs if not exercised
within the three-month period beginning with the Optionee’s termination of Service as an Employee for any reason other than the Optionee’s death or Disability. An ISO shall be treated as an NSO if it remains exercisable after, and is not
exercised within, the three-month period described above. If an Optionee’s Service terminates due to Disability, any ISO held by such Optionee shall be treated as an NSO if it remains exercisable after, and is not exercised within, one year
after termination of the Optionee’s Service. A Stock Option Agreement may provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of the Optionee’s death, Disability or retirement or other events and may provide for expiration prior to the end
of its term in the event of the termination of the Optionee’s Service. Options may be awarded in combination with SARs, and such an Award may provide that the Options will not be exercisable unless the related SARs are forfeited. No Option
granted to an individual who is subject to the overtime pay provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act may be exercised before the expiration of six months after the Grant Date. 

 
  

	2	 On 4/23/10, Stockholders approved an increase in this limit to 1,300,000 shares.

 5.5 Effect of
Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting an Option or thereafter, that such Option shall become exercisable as to all or part of the Common Shares subject to such Option in the event that a Change in Control occurs
with respect to the Company or in the event that the Optionee is subject to an Involuntary Termination after a Change in Control. In addition, acceleration of exercisability may be required under Section 10.3. 

5.6 Nonassignability of Options. Except as determined by the Committee, no Option shall be assignable or otherwise transferable by
the Participant except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. However, Options may be transferred and exercised in accordance with a Domestic Relations Order and may be exercised by a guardian or conservator appointed to act for the
Participant. No rights under an ISO may be transferred by the Participant, other than to a trust where under section 671 of the Code and other Applicable Law the Participant is considered the sole beneficial owner of the Option while it is held in
trust, or by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The Company’s compliance with a Domestic Relations Order, or the exercise of an ISO by a guardian or conservator appointed to act for the Participant, shall not violate this
Section 5.6. 
 5.7 Substitute Options. The Board may cause the Company to grant Substitute Options in connection
with the acquisition by the Company or a Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of equity securities of any entity (including by merger, tender offer, or other similar transaction) or of all or a portion of the assets of any entity. Any such substitution
shall be effective on the effective date of the acquisition. Substitute Options may be NSOs or ISOs. Unless and to the extent specified otherwise by the Board, Substitute Options shall have the same terms and conditions as the options they replace,
except that (subject to the provisions of Article 10) Substitute Options shall be Options to purchase Common Shares rather than equity securities of the granting entity and shall have an Exercise Price adjusted appropriately, as determined by the
Board. 
 5.8 Limitation on ISOs. Options intended to be ISOs that are granted to any single Optionee under all incentive
stock option plans of the Company and its Parents or Subsidiaries, including ISOs granted under the Plan, may not first become exercisable for more than $100,000 in Fair Market Value of stock (measured on the grant dates of the Options) during any
calendar year. 
 ARTICLE 6 PAYMENT FOR OPTION SHARES. 
 6.1 General Rule. The entire Exercise Price of Common Shares issued upon exercise of Options shall be payable in cash or cash equivalents denominated in U.S. dollars (except as specified by the
Committee for non-U.S. Employees or non-U.S. sub-plans) at the time when such Common Shares are purchased, except as follows: 

(a) In the case of an ISO granted under the Plan, payment shall be made only pursuant to the express provisions of the applicable Stock
Option Agreement. The Stock Option Agreement may specify that payment may be made in any form(s) described in this Article 6. 

(b) In the case of an NSO granted under the Plan, the Committee may at any time permit payment to be made in any form(s) described in
this Article 6. 
 6.2 Exercise/Sale. To the extent that this Section 6.2 is made applicable to an Option by the
Committee, all or any part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes may be paid by delivering (on a form prescribed by the Company) an irrevocable direction to a securities broker approved by the Company to sell all or part of the Common
Shares being purchased under the Plan and to deliver all or part of the sales proceeds to the Company; provided that to the extent the Company would be deemed to extend or arrange for the extension of credit in the form of a personal loan to an
Optionee under the foregoing procedure, no Officer or Director may use the foregoing procedure to pay the Exercise Price. 

6.3 Other Forms of Payment. To the extent that this Section 6.3 is made applicable to an Option by the Committee, all or any
part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes may be paid in any other form that is consistent with Applicable Law, regulations and rules. 

  
 5 

 ARTICLE 7 STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. 

7.1 SAR Agreement. Each grant of a SAR under the Plan shall be evidenced by a SAR Agreement between the Optionee and the Company.
Such SAR shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various SAR Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. SARs may be
granted in consideration of a reduction in the Optionee’s other compensation. 
 7.2 Number of Shares. Each SAR
Agreement shall specify the number of Common Shares to which the SAR pertains and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Article 10. 
 7.3 Exercise Price. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price provided that the Exercise Price under a SAR shall in no event be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Common Share
on the date of grant. A SAR Agreement may specify an Exercise Price that varies in accordance with a predetermined formula while the SAR is outstanding. 
 7.4 Exercisability and Term. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the date when all or any installment of the SAR is to become exercisable. The SAR Agreement shall also specify the term of the SAR
provided that the term of a SAR shall in no event exceed 10 years from the date of grant. The grant or vesting of a SAR may be made contingent on the achievement of performance conditions. A SAR Agreement may provide for accelerated exercisability
in the event of the Optionee’s death, Disability or retirement or other events and may provide for expiration prior to the end of its term in the event of the termination of the Optionee’s Service. SARs may be awarded in combination with
Options, and such an Award may provide that the SARs will not be exercisable unless the related Options are forfeited. A SAR may be included in an ISO only at the time of grant but may be included in an NSO at the time of grant or thereafter. A SAR
granted under the Plan may provide that it will be exercisable only in the event of a Change in Control. 
 7.5 Effect of
Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting a SAR or thereafter, that such SAR shall become fully exercisable as to all Common Shares subject to such SAR in the event that the Company is subject to a Change in Control
or in the event that the Optionee is subject to an Involuntary Termination after a Change in Control. In addition, acceleration of exercisability may be required under Section 10.3. 

7.6 Exercise of SARs. Upon exercise of a SAR, the Optionee (or any person having the right to exercise the SAR after his or her
death) shall receive from the Company (a) Common Shares, (b) cash or (c) a combination of Common Shares and cash, as the Committee shall determine, over the period or periods set forth in the SAR Agreement. A SAR Agreement may place
limits on the amount that may be paid over any specified period or periods upon the exercise of a SAR, on an aggregate basis or as to any Participant. The amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of Common Shares received upon exercise of SARs
shall, in the aggregate, be equal to the amount by which the Fair Market Value (on the date of surrender) of the Common Shares subject to the SARs exceeds the Exercise Price. If, on the date when a SAR expires, the Exercise Price under such SAR is
less than the Fair Market Value on such date but any portion of such SAR has not been exercised or surrendered, then such SAR shall automatically be deemed to be exercised as of such date with respect to such portion. 

7.7 Nonassignability of SARs. Except as determined by the Committee, no SAR shall be assignable or otherwise transferable by the
Participant except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. However, SARs may be transferred and exercised in accordance with a Domestic Relations Order and may be exercised by a guardian or conservator appointed to act for the
Participant. 
 7.8 Substitute SARs. The Board may cause the Company to grant Substitute SARs in connection with the
acquisition by the Company or a Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of equity securities of any entity (including by merger, tender offer, or other similar transaction) or of all or a portion of the assets of any entity. Any such substitution shall be
effective on the effective date of the acquisition. Unless and to the extent specified otherwise by the Board, Substitute SARs shall have the same terms and conditions as the SARs they replace, except that (subject to the provisions of Article 10)
Substitute SARs shall be exercisable with respect to the Fair Market Value of Common Shares rather than equity securities of the granting entity and shall be on terms that, as determined by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion, properly
reflect that substitution.

 ARTICLE 8 RESTRICTED SHARES. 
 8.1 Restricted Stock Agreement. Each grant of Restricted Shares under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Agreement between the recipient and the Company. Such Restricted Shares shall
be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various Restricted Stock Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. 

8.2 Payment for Awards. Subject to the following sentence, Restricted Shares may be sold or awarded under the Plan for such
consideration as the Committee may determine, including (without limitation) cash, cash equivalents, labor done, services actually rendered to the Company or for its benefit or in its reorganization, debts or securities cancelled, tangible or
intangible property actually received either by the Company or a wholly-owned subsidiary, and promissory notes (provided the recipient is an Employee who is not a Director or Officer at the time of grant). All cash and cash equivalents shall be
dominated in U.S. dollars except as specified by the Committee for non-U.S. Employees or non-U.S. sub-plans. 
 8.3 Vesting
Conditions. Each Award of Restricted Shares may or may not be subject to vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Restricted Stock Agreement. The Committee may include among
such conditions the achievement of Objectively Determinable Performance Conditions A Restricted Stock Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the Participant’s death, Disability or retirement or other events. The Committee
may determine, at the time of granting Restricted Shares or thereafter, that all or part of such Restricted Shares shall become vested in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company or in the event that the Participant is
subject to an Involuntary Termination after a Change in Control. 
 8.4 Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of
Restricted Shares awarded under the Plan shall have the same voting, dividend and other rights as the Company’s other shareholders. A Restricted Stock Agreement, however, may require that the holders of Restricted Shares invest any cash
dividends received in additional Restricted Shares. Such additional Restricted Shares shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Award with respect to which the dividends were paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, dividends
awarded with respect to Restricted Shares subject to unsatisfied performance-based conditions shall accumulate until all applicable performance-based conditions have been satisfied and will be paid, if at all, as soon as reasonably practicable
following the satisfaction of the applicable performance-based conditions. 
 8.5 Nonassignability of Restricted Shares.
Except as determined by the Committee, no Restricted Shares shall be assignable or otherwise transferable by the Participant except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution until such time as the Restricted Shares have vested.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Restricted Shares may be transferred and exercised in accordance with a Domestic Relations Order. 
 8.6 Substitute Restricted Shares. The Board may cause the Company to grant Substitute Restricted Shares in connection with the acquisition by the Company or a Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of
equity securities of any entity (including by merger) or all or a portion of the assets of any entity. Unless and to the extent specified otherwise by the Board, Substitute Restricted Shares shall have the same terms and conditions as the restricted
shares they replace, except that (subject to the provisions of Article 10) Substitute Restricted Shares shall be Common Shares rather than equity securities of the granting entity and shall be on terms that, as determined by the Board in its sole
and absolute discretion, properly reflect the substitution. Any such Substituted Restricted Shares shall be granted effective on the effective date of the acquisition. 
 8.7 Section 162(m) Limitation. For so long as the Company is a “publicly held corporation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and with respect to grants of
Restricted Shares that are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Code Section 162(m), no Employee may be granted within any Fiscal Year under the Plan more than 33,333 Restricted Shares which are subject to the achievement
of Objectively Determinable Performance Conditions, with such limit subject to adjustment pursuant to Article 10. 

  
 7 

 ARTICLE 9 STOCK UNITS. 
 9.1 Stock Unit Agreement. Each grant of Stock Units under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Unit Agreement between the recipient and the Company. Such Stock Units shall be subject to all
applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various Stock Unit Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. Stock Units may be granted in
consideration of a reduction in the recipient’s other compensation. 
 9.2 Payment for Awards. To the extent that an
Award is granted in the form of Stock Units, no cash consideration shall be required of the Award recipients. 
 9.3 Vesting
Conditions. Each Award of Stock Units may or may not be subject to vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Stock Unit Agreement. The Committee may include among such
conditions the achievement of Objectively Determinable Performance Conditions. A Stock Unit Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the Participant’s death, Disability or retirement or other events. The Committee may
determine, at the time of granting Stock Units or thereafter, that all or part of such Stock Units shall become vested in the event that the Company is subject to a Change in Control or in the event that the Participant is subject to an Involuntary
Termination after a Change in Control. In addition, acceleration of vesting may be required under Section 10.3. 
 9.4
Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of Stock Units shall have no voting rights. Prior to settlement or forfeiture, any Stock Unit awarded under the Plan may, at the Committee’s discretion, carry with it a right to dividend
equivalents. Such right entitles the holder to be credited with an amount equal to all cash dividends paid on one Common Share while the Stock Unit is outstanding. Dividend equivalents may be converted into additional Stock
Units. Settlement of dividend equivalents may be made in the form of cash, in the form of Common Shares, or in a combination of both, as determined by the Committee. Prior to distribution, any dividend equivalents that are not paid shall
be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Stock Units to which they attach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, dividend equivalents awarded with respect to Stock Units subject to unsatisfied performance-based conditions shall
accumulate until all applicable performance-based conditions have been satisfied and will be paid, if at all, as soon as reasonably practicable following the satisfaction of the applicable performance-based conditions. 

9.5 Form and Time of Settlement of Stock Units. Settlement of vested Stock Units may be made in the form of (a) cash,
(b) Common Shares or (c) any combination of both, as determined by the Committee, over the period or periods established by the Committee. A Stock Units Award may place limits on the amount that may be paid over any specified period or
periods, on an aggregate basis or as to any Participant. The actual number of Stock Units eligible for settlement may be larger or smaller than the number included in the original Award, based on performance criteria. Methods of converting Stock
Units into cash may include (without limitation) a method based on the average Fair Market Value of Common Shares over a series of trading days. Distribution on settlement may occur or commence when all vesting conditions applicable to the Stock
Units have been satisfied or have lapsed, or it may be deferred to any later date. The amount of a deferred distribution may be increased by an interest factor or by dividend equivalents. Until an Award of Stock Units is settled, the number of such
Stock Units shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Article 10. 
 9.6 Death of Recipient. Any Stock Units Award that
becomes payable after the recipient’s death shall be distributed to the recipient’s beneficiary or beneficiaries. Each recipient of a Stock Units Award under the Plan shall designate one or more beneficiaries for this purpose by filing the
prescribed form with the Company. A beneficiary designation may be changed by filing the prescribed form with the Company at any time before the Award recipient’s death. If no beneficiary was designated or if no designated beneficiary survives
the Award recipient, then any Stock Units Award that becomes payable after the recipient’s death shall be distributed to the recipient’s estate. 
 9.7 Creditors’ Rights. A holder of Stock Units shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Stock Units represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the
Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Stock Unit Agreement. 

  
 8 

 9.8 Nonassignability of Stock Units. Except as determined by the Committee, no Stock
Units Award shall be assignable or otherwise transferable by the Participant except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Stock Units Awards may be transferred and exercised in
accordance with a Domestic Relations Order. 
 9.9 Substitute Stock Units. The Board may cause the Company to grant
Substitute Stock Units in connection with the acquisition by the Company or a Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of equity securities of any entity (including by merger) or all or a portion of the assets of any entity. Unless and to the extent
specified otherwise by the Board, Substitute Stock Units shall have the same terms and conditions as the stock units they replace, except that (subject to the provisions of Article 10) Substitute Stock Units shall be settled with respect to the Fair
Market Value of the Common Shares rather than equity securities of the granting entity and shall be on terms that, as determined by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion, properly reflect the substitution. 

9.10 Section 162(m) Limitation. For so long as the Company is a “publicly held corporation” within the meaning of
Section 162(m) of the Code and with respect to grants of Stock Units that are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Code Section 162(m), no Employee may be granted within any Fiscal Year under the Plan more than
33,333 Stock Units which are subject to the achievement of Objectively Determinable Performance Condition, with such limit subject to adjustment pursuant to Article 10. 
 ARTICLE 10 PROTECTION AGAINST DILUTION. 
 10.1 Adjustments. In the
event of a subdivision of the outstanding Common Shares, a declaration of a dividend payable in Common Shares, a declaration of a dividend payable in a form other than Common Shares in an amount that has a material effect on the price of Common
Shares, a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Common Shares (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of Shares, a stock split, a reverse stock split, a reclassification or other distribution of the Common Shares without
the receipt of consideration by the Company, of or on the Common Stock, a recapitalization, a combination, a spin-off or a similar occurrence, the Committee shall make equitable and proportionate adjustments to: 

(a) the maximum aggregate number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan as specified in Section 3.1 and to be issued
as ISOs as set forth under Section 3.1 and the number of Common Shares under the Prior Plans that may become available for award under this Plan pursuant to Section 3.1(ii); 

(b) the number and kind of securities available for Awards (and which can be issued as ISOs) under Section 3.1; 

(c) the limitations set forth in Sections 4.3(a), 8.7 and 9.10; 

(d) the number and kind of securities covered by each outstanding Award; 

(e) the Exercise Price under each outstanding Option and SAR; or 

(f) the number and kind of outstanding securities issued under the Plan. 
 In the event of a declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than Common Shares in an amount that has a material effect on the price of Common Shares, a recapitalization, a spin-off
or a similar occurrence, the Committee shall make such proportionate adjustments as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate in one or more of the foregoing. Except as provided in this Article 10, a Participant shall have no rights by reason of
any issuance by the Company of stock of any class or securities convertible into stock of any class, any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any stock dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number
of shares of stock of any class. Any adjustment of Common Shares pursuant to this Section 10.1 shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Common Shares. Under no circumstances shall the Company be required to authorize or issue
fractional shares and no consideration shall be provided as a result of any fractional shares not being issued or authorized. 

  
 9 

 10.2 Dissolution or Liquidation. To the extent not previously exercised or settled,
Options, SARs, unvested Restricted Shares and Stock Units shall terminate immediately prior to the dissolution or liquidation of the Company and be forfeited to the Company. 
 10.3 Reorganizations. In the event that the Company is a party to a merger or other reorganization, outstanding Awards shall be subject to the agreement of merger or reorganization. Such agreement
may provide, without limitation, for (a) the continuation of the outstanding Awards by the Company, if the Company is a surviving corporation, (b) the assumption of the outstanding Awards by the surviving entity or its parent or
subsidiary, (c) the substitution by the surviving entity or its parent or subsidiary of its own awards for the outstanding Awards, (d) full exercisability or vesting and accelerated expiration of the outstanding Awards, (e) settlement
of the full value of the outstanding Awards in cash or cash equivalents followed by cancellation of such Awards, or (f) cancellation of outstanding Awards with or without consideration, and in all cases without needing consent of any
Participant. In the event of a Divestiture, the Board may, but need not, direct that one or more of the foregoing actions be taken with respect to Awards held by, for example, Employees, Outside Directors or Consultants for whom the transaction or
event resulted in a termination of Service. The Board need not adopt the same rules for each Award or Participant. 
 ARTICLE 11 DEFERRAL OF
AWARDS. 
 The Committee (in its sole discretion) may permit or require a Participant to: 

(a) Have cash that otherwise would be paid to such Participant as a result of the exercise of a SAR or the settlement of Stock Units
credited to a deferred compensation account established for such Participant by the Committee as an entry on the Company’s books; 
 (b) Have Common Shares that otherwise would be delivered to such Participant as a result of the exercise of an Option or SAR converted into an equal number of Stock Units; or 

(c) Have Common Shares that otherwise would be delivered to such Participant as a result of the exercise of an Option or SAR or the
settlement of Stock Units converted into amounts credited to a deferred compensation account established for such Participant by the Committee as an entry on the Company’s books. Such amounts shall be determined by reference to the Fair Market
Value of such Common Shares as of the date when they otherwise would have been delivered to such Participant. 
 A deferred
compensation account established under this Article 11 may be credited with interest or other forms of investment return, as determined by the Committee. A Participant for whom such an account is established shall have no rights other than those of
a general creditor of the Company. Such an account shall represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable agreement between such Participant and the Company. If the
deferral or conversion of Awards is permitted or required, the Committee (in its sole discretion) may establish rules, procedures and forms pertaining to such Awards, including (without limitation) the settlement of deferred compensation accounts
established under this Article 11. 
 Any and all arrangements under this Article 11 must comply with the rules and requirements
of Section 409A of the Code including, without limitation, the requirements for the timing of deferral elections and the Delay In Payments to Specified Employees. 
 ARTICLE 12 AWARDS UNDER OTHER PLANS. 
 The Company may grant awards under
other plans or programs. Such awards may be settled in the form of Common Shares issued under the Plan. Such Common Shares shall be treated for all purposes under the Plan like Common Shares issued in settlement of Stock Units and shall, when
issued, reduce the number of Common Shares available under Article 3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Common Share issued pursuant to this Article 12 shall be counted against the Plan reserve in Section 3.1 as one (1) Common Share to
the extent such shares are issued in respect of awards under other plans or programs that have substantially similar terms and 

  
 10 

 
conditions to Options or SARs granted under the Plan, including, with respect to stock options or equivalent securities, an exercise price at least equal to the fair market value of the
securities for which the stock option or equivalent security is exercisable, measured at the date of grant. 
 ARTICLE 13 PAYMENT OF
DIRECTORS’ FEES IN SECURITIES. 
 13.1 Effective Date. No provision of this Article 13 shall be effective unless
and until the Board has determined to implement such provision. 
 13.2 Elections to Receive NSOs, Restricted Shares or Stock
Units. An Outside Director may elect to receive his or her annual retainer payments and/or meeting fees from the Company in the form of cash, NSOs, Restricted Shares or Stock Units, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Board. Such
NSOs, Restricted Shares and Stock Units shall be issued under the Plan. An election under this Article 13 must be timely filed with the Company on the prescribed form. 
 13.3 Number and Terms of NSOs, Restricted Shares or Stock Units. The number of NSOs, Restricted Shares or Stock Units to be granted to Outside Directors in lieu of annual retainers and meeting fees
that would otherwise be paid in cash shall be calculated in a manner determined by the Board. The Board shall also determine the terms of such NSOs, Restricted Shares or Stock Units. 
 ARTICLE 14 LIMITATION ON RIGHTS. 
 14.1 Retention Rights. Neither the
Plan nor any Award granted under the Plan shall be deemed to give any individual a right to remain an Employee, Outside Director or Consultant. The Company and its Parents, Subsidiaries and Affiliates reserve the right to terminate the Service of
any Employee, Outside Director or Consultant at any time, with or without cause, subject to Applicable Law, the Company’s articles of incorporation and by-laws and a written employment agreement (if any). 

14.2 Shareholders’ Rights. A Participant shall have no dividend rights, voting rights or other rights as a shareholder with
respect to any Common Shares covered by his or her Award prior to the time when a stock certificate for such Common Shares is issued or, if applicable, the time when he or she becomes entitled to receive such Common Shares by satisfying all
requirements for exercise at a time when the Company is obligated to deliver such Common Shares under the terms of the Award agreement and this Plan. No adjustment shall be made for cash dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior
to such time, except as expressly provided in the Plan. 
 14.3 Regulatory Requirements. Any other provision of the Plan
notwithstanding, the obligation of the Company to issue Common Shares under the Plan shall be subject to all Applicable Law. The Company reserves the right to restrict, in whole or in part, the delivery of Common Shares pursuant to any Award prior
to the satisfaction of all Applicable Law relating to the issuance of such Common Shares, to their registration, qualification or listing or to an exemption from registration, qualification or listing. 

14.4 Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Plan and Awards granted hereunder are
intended to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such intention. 

ARTICLE 15 WITHHOLDING TAXES. 
 15.1 General. To the extent required by Applicable Law, a Participant or his or her successor shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any withholding tax
obligations that arise in connection with the Plan. The Company shall not be required to issue any Common Shares or make any cash payment under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied. 

  
 11 

 15.2 Share Withholding. To the extent that Applicable Law subjects a Participant to
tax withholding obligations, the Committee may establish procedures that may permit such Participant to satisfy all or part of such obligations by having the Company withhold all or a portion of any Common Shares that otherwise would be issued to
him or her or by surrendering all or a portion of any Common Shares that he or she previously acquired. Such Common Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when they are withheld or surrendered. 

ARTICLE 16 FUTURE OF THE PLAN. 
 16.1 Term of the Plan. The Plan was effective on the Effective Date. The Plan, as may be amended or restated from time to time, shall remain in effect until the tenth anniversary of the Effective
Date or until such earlier date as provided under Section 16.2. Except as provided in Section 3.1, this Plan will not in any way affect outstanding awards that were issued under the Prior Plans or other Company equity compensation plans.
No further awards may be granted under the Prior Plans as of the date of approval of this Plan by the Company’s shareholders. 
 16.2 Amendment or Termination. The Board may, at any time and for any reason, amend or terminate the Plan. An amendment of the Plan shall be subject to the approval of the Company’s
shareholders only to the extent required by Applicable Law. No Awards shall be granted under the Plan after the termination thereof. The termination of the Plan, or any amendment thereof, shall not impair the rights of any Participant under any
Award previously granted under the Plan unless the Participant consents to such amendment. The Board or the Committee may amend the terms of any existing Award, prospectively or retroactively, but no such amendment shall impair the rights of any
Participant unless the Participant consents to such amendment. The Board or the Committee may not amend the terms of any Option or SAR to reduce the Exercise Price (except pursuant to Article 10), or cancel any Option or SAR and grant a new Option
or SAR with a lower Exercise Price such that the effect would be the same as reducing the Exercise Price, without the approval of the Company’s shareholders. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no consent of a Participant shall be
required if the Board determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that the amendment, suspension, termination, or modification: (a) is required or advisable in order for the Company, the Plan or the Award to satisfy Applicable Law, to meet
the requirements of any accounting standard or to avoid any adverse accounting treatment, or (b) in connection with any transaction or event described in Article 10, is in the best interests of the Company or its shareholders. The Board may,
but need not, take the tax or accounting consequences to affected Participants into consideration in acting under the preceding sentence. Those decisions shall be final, binding and conclusive. Termination of the Plan shall not affect the
Committee’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it under the Plan with respect to Awards granted before the termination notwithstanding that Awards become exercisable or are to be settled after the termination.

 Exhibit 10.1

 TALEO CORPORATION 
 DOUGLAS JEFFRIES – EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 This Agreement is entered into as of
November 8, 2010 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Taleo Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and Douglas Jeffries (“Executive”). The Agreement is contingent upon Executive’s successful
completion of standard new hire procedures of the Company, including background checks and proof of right to work in the United States. The term of this Agreement shall be four (4) years from the Effective Date. The parties agree to engage in a
good faith review and renewal evaluation of this Agreement at the third anniversary of the Effective Date. If at the time of expiration of this Agreement the Company is engaged in discussions that may involve a Change in Control, as defined below,
the term of this agreement shall be automatically extended by eighteen (18) months from the original date of expiration. 

1. Duties and Scope of Employment. 
 (a) Positions and Duties. As of the Effective Date, Executive will serve as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Executive will assume and discharge such responsibilities as are
commensurate with such position and as the Chief Executive Officer may direct from time to time. During Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive shall devote Executive’s full time, skill and attention to Executive’s duties
and responsibilities and shall perform faithfully, diligently and competently. In addition, Executive shall comply with and be bound by the operating policies, procedures and practices of the Company in effect from time to time during
Executive’s employment. The period of Executive’s employment under this Agreement is referred to herein as the “Employment Term.” 
 (b) Obligations. During the Employment Term, Executive will devote Executive’s full business efforts and time to the Company. For the duration of the Employment Term, Executive agrees not to
actively engage in any other employment, occupation, or consulting activity for any direct or indirect remuneration (including membership on a board of directors) without the prior approval of the Chief Executive Officer; provided, however, that
Executive may, without the approval of the Chief Executive Officer, serve in any capacity with any civic, educational, or charitable organization, provided such services do not interfere with Executive’s obligations to the Company. Executive
will report solely and directly to the Chief Executive Officer and/or the Board of Directors and, to the extent required by law, regulation or principles of proper corporate governance, the audit or similar committee of the Board of Directors of the
Company (the “Board”). 
 2. At-Will Employment. Executive and the Company agree that Executive’s
employment with the Company constitutes “at-will” employment. Executive and the Company acknowledge that this employment relationship may be terminated at any time, upon written notice to the other party, with or without good cause or for
any or no cause, at the option either of the Company or Executive. However, as described in this Agreement, Executive may be entitled to severance benefits depending upon the circumstances of Executive’s termination of employment. Upon the
termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, Executive will be entitled to payment of all accrued but unpaid vacation, expense reimbursements, and other benefits due to Executive through Executive’s termination
date under any Company-provided or paid plans, policies, and arrangements. Executive agrees to resign from all positions that Executive holds with the Company immediately following the termination of Executive’s employment if Company so
requests. 

  
 3.
Compensation. 
 (a) Base Salary. The Company shall pay Executive an annual salary of $390,000 USD as compensation
for Executive’s services (the “Base Salary”). The Base Salary will be paid periodically in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices (but no less frequently than once per month) and be subject to the usual, required
withholding. Executive’s Base Salary will be subject to periodic review and adjustment (subject to Section 6(g)(ii) and the other provisions of this Agreement), and such adjustments will be made based upon the Company’s standard
practices or the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. Adjustments to Base Salary shall be incorporated into this Agreement upon the effective date of the adjusted Base Salary. 

(b) Bonus. Executive’s annual target for the aggregate amount of annual and quarterly bonuses will be
$210,000 USD (“Target Bonus”). Allocation, eligibility and payment of Target Bonus will be based upon achievement of quarterly or yearly performance goals established in good faith and approved by the Chief Executive Officer. Executive
will have the opportunity to discuss the nature of such performance goals with the Chief Executive Officer prior to such performance goals being approved by the Chief Executive Officer. Target Bonus amounts will not be earned unless Executive
remains employed through the relevant quarter (for quarterly bonus payments) and through the end of the fiscal year (for annual bonus payments). Bonus payments, if any, will be made no later than the 15th day of the third month following the later of (i) the end of
the Company’s fiscal year in which such bonus is earned, or (ii) the end of the calendar year in which such bonus is earned. Executive’s Target Bonus will be subject to periodic review and adjustment (subject to Section 6(g)(ii)
and the other provisions of this Agreement), and such adjustments will be made based upon the Company’s standard practices or the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. Adjustments to Target Bonus shall be incorporated into this
Agreement upon the effective date of the adjusted Target Bonus. 
 4. Employee Benefits. 

(a) Vacation. Executive will be eligible to receive four (4) weeks of paid annual vacation. Executive’s use of vacation
will be subject to the terms and conditions of the vacation policies in place at the Company, including without limitation, accrual limits and caps.

to other senior executives of the Company, as such plans, policies, and arrangements may exist from time to time. 
 5.
Expenses. The Company will reimburse Executive for reasonable travel and other expenses incurred by Executive in the furtherance of the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder, in accordance with the Company’s expense
reimbursement policy as in effect from time to time. 
 6. Termination and Severance.

Executive resigns for Good Reason (as defined below) and either such event did not take place within sixty (60) days prior to or eighteen (18) months following a Change in Control (as defined below), then Company or the

the earliest of (i) the close of the 12 month period following the termination of Executive’s employment, (ii) the expiration of Executive’s continuation coverage under COBRA, or (iii) the date when Executive becomes
eligible for substantially equivalent health insurance coverage in connection with new employment or self-employment. 
 (b) If
Company or a successor corporation terminates Executive’s employment for any reason other than Cause (as defined below) or if Executive resigns for Good Reason (as defined below) and either such event takes place within sixty (60) days
prior to or eighteen (18) months following a Change in Control (as defined below), then Company or the successor corporation will pay Executive: 
 (i) for any bonus period partially completed at the time of Executive’s termination or resignation, a lump sum equal to the daily prorated amount of Executive’s then-current quarterly bonus (if
any) and annual bonus, less any applicable state and federal required withholding amounts and other lawful deductions;

(c) All benefits set forth in Sections 6(a) and 6(b) are collectively referred to as “Severance.” In the event Executive is
entitled to Severance under Section 6(b), Executive will no longer be entitled to Severance under Section 6(a). Subject to Section 7(a) and to any required six (6) month delay pursuant to Section 14, Severance payments,
other than reimbursements of COBRA premiums, shall be made by the Company in one lump sum and shall be paid within thirty (30) days of any such termination of employment. 
 (d) In addition to Severance, in the event that Company or a successor corporation terminates Executive’s employment for any reason other than Cause (as defined below) or if Executive resigns for
Good Reason (as defined below) and either such event did not take place within sixty (60) days prior to or eighteen (18) months following a Change in Control (as defined below), then (i) Executive will

  
 3 

 
receive immediate vesting with respect to the number of unvested stock options and stock appreciation rights that would have vested in accordance with Executive’s then-current stock option
grants and stock appreciation rights had Executive remained employed for an additional 6 months, (ii) the Company’s right of repurchase shall immediately lapse with respect to Executive’s then-current restricted stock grants for which
the Company’s right of repurchase would otherwise have lapsed within 6 months from the date of such termination or resignation of employment, and (iii) the Executive will receive immediate vesting with respect to Executive’s
outstanding restricted stock units, performance shares and other equity compensation that would have vested had Executive remained employed for an additional 6 months. If an award vests in whole or in part on the achievement of performance metrics
that have not been achieved at the time of the Executive’s termination or resignation, vesting of such awards shall not be accelerated. In the event of Executive’s termination of employment as described in this subsection (d), the
Executive’s then vested stock options shall be exercisable for 3 months after Executive’s date of termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no case shall any option be exercisable after the expiration of its term. 

(e) In addition to Severance, in the event that Company or a successor corporation terminates Executive’s employment for any reason
other than Cause (as defined below) or if Executive resigns for Good Reason (as defined below) and either such event takes place within sixty (60) days prior to or eighteen (18) months following a Change in Control (as defined below),
Executive will receive immediate vesting with respect to all unvested stock options and stock appreciation rights that are held by Executive, the Company’s right of repurchase shall lapse entirely with respect to restricted stock grants from
the Company to Executive, and the vesting of all Executive’s outstanding restricted stock units, performance shares and other equity compensation shall immediately vest in full; provided, however, if the award vests in whole or in part on the
achievement of performance metrics, such metrics shall be deemed achieved at 100% of target levels (unless otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement). In the event of Executive’s termination of employment as described in this
subsection (e), the Executive’s then outstanding stock options shall be exercisable for 3 months after Executive’s date of termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no case shall any option be exercisable after the expiration of its
term. 
 (f) For purposes of this Section 6, “Cause” means (i) any act of dishonesty taken by Executive in
the course of performing Executive’s duties hereunder, (ii) Executive’s conviction of a felony, (iii) any act by Executive that constitutes material misconduct, (iv) repeated failures to follow the lawful, reasonable
instructions of the Chief Executive Officer consistent with Executive’s duties hereunder, or (v) substantial and repeated violations of Executive’s fiduciary duties, responsibilities or obligations to Company. 

(g) For purposes of this Section 6, “Good Reason” means without Executive’s written consent, (i) a significant
reduction of Executive’s duties, position or responsibilities relative to Executive’s duties, position or responsibilities in effect immediately prior to such reduction, other than where Executive is asked to assume substantially similar
duties and responsibilities in a larger entity after a Change in Control; (ii) a reduction of Executive’s Base Salary or Target Bonus other than a one-time reduction that does not exceed twenty percent (20%) and that is also applied
to all of Company’s Section 16 officers; (iii) Executive’s relocation to a facility or a location greater than 75 miles from Dublin, California; or (iv) the failure of a successor entity after a Change in Control to assume
this Agreement. If Executive does not notify Company in writing that Executive believes a significant reduction of Executive’s duties, position or responsibilities has occurred pursuant to this Section 6 within 60 days of the event or
occurrence that Executive believes to have resulted in such a significant reduction, then such reduction shall be deemed for purposes of this Agreement as not constituting Good Reason, as that terms is used in this Section 6. Disagreement as to
the established performance criteria or goals set forth in good faith in a Target Bonus Schedule shall not be a basis for Good Reason resignation.

this Section 6, “Change in Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) becomes the “beneficial owner”
(as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities and
such change in ownership results in broad management changes at Company; or (ii) the consummation of the sale or disposition by Company of all or substantially all of Company’s assets; or (iii) the consummation of a merger or
consolidation of Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by
being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or its parent) more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of Company or such surviving entity or its parent outstanding immediately
after such merger or consolidation. 
 (i) Notwithstanding the above, Company’s Chief Executive Officer reserves the right
to make reasonable organizational structure changes reasonably commensurate with the position of Chief Executive Officer. Such changes may include the shifting or reassignment of divisional, geographic or team responsibilities among members of the
executive team. Such changes are within the reasonable discretion of the Chief Executive Officer and shall not constitute Good Reason, as that term is used in this Section 6. 

(j) Termination due to Death or Disability. If Executive’s employment terminates by reason of death or Disability, then
(i) Executive will be entitled to receive benefits only in accordance with the Company’s then applicable plans, policies, and arrangements, and (ii) Executive’s outstanding equity awards will terminate in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the applicable award agreement(s). 
 (k) Sole Right to Severance. This Agreement is intended to
represent Executive’s sole entitlement to severance payments and benefits in connection with the termination of Executive’s employment. To the extent Executive receives cash severance under any other Company plan, program, agreement,
policy, practice, or the like, cash severance payments due to Executive under this Agreement will be correspondingly reduced. Executive will not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment contemplated by this Agreement, nor will any earnings
that Executive may receive from any other source reduce any such payment. 
 7. Conditions to Receipt of Severance.

 (a) Separation Agreement and Release of Claims. The receipt of any severance pursuant to this Agreement will be subject
to Executive signing and not revoking a separation agreement and release of claims (the “Release”) in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company which becomes effective within sixty (60) days following Executive’s employment
termination date or such earlier date as required by the Release (such deadline, the “Release Deadline”). The Release will provide (among other things) that Executive will not disparage the Company, its directors, or its executive
officers, and will contain No-Inducement, No-Solicit and Non-Compete terms consistent with this Agreement. No severance pursuant to this Agreement will be paid or provided until the Release becomes effective. Notwithstanding any timing of payment
provision in Section 6, in the event severance payments provided under Section 6(a) or Section 6(b) would be considered Deferred Payments (as defined in Section 14 below), then the following timing of payments will apply to such
Deferred Payments, in each case subject to any delay in payment required by the provisions of Section 14 (and provided the Release becomes effective): 
 (i) If the Release Deadline is on or before December 10 of the calendar year in which Executive’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any final regulations and official guidance promulgated thereunder (together, “Section 409A”)) occurs, any portion of the severance payments or benefits provided under Section 6(a) or
Section 6(b) that would be considered Deferred Payments will be paid to Executive on or before December 31 of that calendar year or such later time as required by Section 14 of this Agreement, if applicable; and 

  
 5 

  
 (ii) If the Release
Deadline is after December 10 of the calendar year in which Executive’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A) occurs, any portion of the severance payments or benefits provided under
Section 6(a) or Section 6(b) that would be considered Deferred Payments will be paid on the first payroll date to occur during the calendar year following the calendar year in which such separation of service occurs or such later time as
required by (A) the Release Deadline, or (B) Section 14 of this Agreement, if applicable. 
 (b)
Non-solicitation and other terms. In the event of a termination of Executive’s employment that otherwise would entitle Executive to the receipt of Severance pursuant to Section 6, Executive agrees that as a condition to receipt of
Severance, during the 12-month period following termination of employment, Executive, directly or indirectly, whether as employee, owner, sole proprietor, partner, director, founder or otherwise, will (i) not hire, solicit, induce, or influence
any person to modify Executive’s employment or consulting relationship with the Company (the “No-Inducement”), and (ii) not solicit, divert or take away or attempt to solicit, divert or take away the business of any customer or
prospective customer of the Company (the “No-Solicit”). If Executive breaches the No-Inducement or No-Solicit, all payments and benefits to which Executive otherwise may be entitled pursuant to Section 6 will cease immediately and
shall be repaid to Company. Executive acknowledges that the time, geographic and scope limitations of Executive’s obligations under this section that are to be reflected in a separation agreement are reasonable, especially in light of the
Company’s desire to protect its Confidential Information and the Severance and other benefits set forth herein, and that Executive will not be precluded from gainful employment as a result of the obligations of this section. In the event the
provisions of this section are deemed to exceed the time, geographic or scope limitations permitted by applicable law, then such provisions shall be reformed to the maximum time, geographic or scope limitations, as the case may be, then permitted by
such law. The covenants contained in this section shall be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each city, town, suburb and state within the geographical area. For purposes of this Section 7, “geographical area” shall
mean (i) all counties in the State where Executive was employed by the Company; (ii) all other states of the United States of America from which the Company derived revenue at any time during the two-year period prior to the date of the
termination of Executive’s relationship with the Company, and (iii) all other province, state, city or other political subdivision of each country from which the Company derived revenue at any time during the two-year period prior to the
date of the termination of Executive’s relationship with the Company. 
 8. Indemnification and Insurance. Executive
will be covered under the Company’s insurance policies and, subject to applicable law, will be provided indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by the Company’s bylaws, Certificate of Incorporation, and standard form of
Indemnification Agreement, with such insurance coverage and indemnification to be in accordance with the Company’s standard practices for senior executive officers but on terms no less favorable than provided to any other Company senior
executive officer or director. 
 9. Confidential Information. 

(a) Company Information. The Executive will not, at any time, whether during or subsequent to Executive’s employment hereunder,
directly or indirectly, disclose or furnish to any other person, firm or corporation, or use on behalf of himself/herself or any other person, firm or corporation, any confidential or proprietary information acquired by the Executive in the course
of Executive’s employment with Company, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, product design, product roadmaps, future product plans, contractual details relating to current Company clients, buying habits of present and
prospective clients of Company, pricing and sales policy, techniques and concepts, the names of customers or 

  
 6 

 
prospective customers of Company or of any person, firm or corporation who or which have or shall have treated or dealt with Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliated companies, any other
information acquired by the Executive regarding the methods of conducting the business of Company and any of its subsidiaries and/or affiliates, any information regarding the company’s methods of research and development, of obtaining business,
of manufacturing, of providing or advertising products or services, or of obtaining customers, trade secrets and other confidential information concerning the business operations of Company or any company and/or entity affiliated with Company,
except to the extent that such information is already generally known in the public domain or such disclosure is required by applicable law, rule, or regulation, or by any governmental agency or authority or other recognized subpoena power.

 (b) Former Employer Information. Executive agrees, during employment with Company, not to improperly use or disclose
any proprietary information or trade secrets of any former or concurrent employer or other person or entity and that Executive will not bring onto the premises of Company any unpublished document or proprietary information belonging to any such
employer, person or entity unless consented to in writing by such employer, person or entity. 
 (c) Third Party
Information. Executive recognizes that Company has received and in the future will receive from third parties their confidential or proprietary information subject to a duty on Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such
information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. Executive agrees to hold all such confidential or proprietary information in the strictest confidence and not to disclose it to any person, firm or corporation or to use it except as
necessary in carrying out work for the Company consistent with Company’s agreement with such third party. 
 (d)
Assignment of Inventions. Executive agrees to promptly make full written disclosure to Company, will hold in trust for the sole right and benefit of the Company and hereby assigns to the Company, or its designee, all right, title and interest
in and to any and all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, concepts, improvements, or trade secrets, whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar laws, which Executive may solely or jointly conceive or
develop or reduce to practice, or cause to be conceived or developed or reduced to practice, during the period of time Executive is in the employ of Company (collectively referred to as “Inventions”). Executive further acknowledges that
all original works of authorship which are made by Executive (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of and during the period of Executive’s employment with Company and which are protectible by copyright are “works made for
hire” as that term is defined in the relevant copyright act. 
 (e) Inventions Retained and Licensed. Executive has
attached hereto, as Schedule A, a list of all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, improvements, and trade secrets which were made by Executive prior to Executive’s employment with Company (collectively referred to as
“Prior Inventions”), which belong to Executive, which relate to Company’s proposed business, products or research and development, and which are not assigned to Company hereunder; or, if no such list is attached, Executive represents
that there are no such Prior Inventions. If in the course of Executive’s employment with Company, Executive incorporates into a Company product, process or machine a Prior Invention owned by Emoloyee or in which Executive has an interest,
Company is hereby granted and shall have a nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license to make, have made, modify, use, and sell such Prior Invention as part of or in connection with such product, process or machine.

 (f) Maintenance of Records. Executive agrees to keep and maintain adequate and current written records of all
Inventions made by Executive (solely or jointly with others) during the term of Executive’s employment with Company. The records will be in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, and any other format that may be specified by Company. The
records will be available to and remain the sole property of Company at all times. 

  
 7 

  
 (g) Patent and
Copyright Registrations. Executive agrees to assist Company, or its designee, at Company’s expense, in every proper way to secure Company’s rights in the Inventions and any copyrights, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual
property rights relating thereto in any and all countries, including the disclosure to Company of all pertinent information and data with respect thereto, the execution of all applications, specifications, oaths, assignments and all other
instruments which Company shall deem necessary in order to apply for and obtain such rights and in order to assign and convey to Company, its successors, assigns, and nominees the sole and exclusive rights, title and interest in and to such
Inventions, and any copyrights, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto. Executive further agrees that Executive’s obligation to execute or cause to be executed, when it is in Executive’s power to
do so, any such instrument or papers shall continue after the termination of this Agreement. If Company is unable because of Executive’s mental or physical incapacity or for any other reason to secure Executive’s signature to apply for or
to pursue any application for any U.S. or foreign patents or copyright registrations covering Inventions or original works of authorship assigned to Company as above, then Executive hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Company and its duly
authorized officers and agents as Executive’s agent and attorney in fact, to act for and in Executive’s behalf and stead to execute and file any such applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and
issuance of letters patent or copyright registrations thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Executive. 

(h) Return of Company Documents. Executive agrees that, at the time of leaving the employ of Company, Executive will deliver to
Company (and will not keep in Executive’s possession, recreate or deliver to anyone else) any and all devices, records, data, notes, reports, proposals, lists, correspondence, specifications, drawings blueprints, sketches, materials, equipment,
other documents or property, or reproductions of any aforementioned items developed by Executive pursuant to Executive’s employment with Company or otherwise belonging to Company, its successors or assigns. 

10. Assignment. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of (a) the heirs, executors, and legal
representatives of Executive upon Executive’s death and (b) any successor of the Company. Any such successor of the Company will be deemed substituted for the Company under the terms of this Agreement for all purposes. For this purpose,
“successor” means any person, firm, corporation, or other business entity which at any time, whether by purchase, merger, or otherwise, directly or indirectly acquires all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Company. None
of the rights of Executive to receive any form of compensation payable pursuant to this Agreement may be assigned or transferred except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any other attempted assignment, transfer, conveyance, or other
disposition of Executive’s right to compensation or other benefits will be null and void. 
 11. Notices. All
notices, requests, demands, and other communications called for hereunder will be in writing and will be deemed given (a) on the date of delivery if delivered personally, (b) one day after being sent by a well established commercial
overnight service, or (c) four days after being mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, prepaid and addressed to the parties or their successors at the following addresses, or at such other addresses as the parties may
later designate in writing: 
 If to the Company: 
 Attn: Chief Executive Officer 
 Taleo Corporation 

4140 Dublin Boulevard 
 Dublin, Ca 94568 
 United, States 

If to Executive: 
 at the last residential address known by the Company as provided by Executive in writing. 

  
 8 

  
 12.
Severability. If any provision hereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable, or void, this Agreement will continue in full force and effect without said provision. 

13. Arbitration. 
 (a) General. In consideration of Executive’s service to the Company, its promise to arbitrate all employment related disputes, and Executive’s receipt of the compensation, pay raises, and
other benefits paid to Executive by the Company, at present and in the future, Executive agrees that any and all controversies, claims, or disputes with anyone (including the Company and any employee, officer, director, shareholder, or benefit plan
of the Company in their capacity as such or otherwise) arising out of, relating to, or resulting from Executive’s service to the Company under this Agreement or otherwise or the termination of Executive’s service with the Company,
including any breach of this Agreement, will be subject to binding arbitration under the Arbitration Rules set forth in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1280 through 1294.2, including Section 1283.05 (the “Rules”) and
pursuant to California law. Disputes which Executive agrees to arbitrate, and thereby agrees to waive any right to a trial by jury, include any statutory claims under state or federal law, including, but not limited to, claims under Title VII
of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the California Labor Code,
claims of harassment, discrimination, or wrongful termination, and any statutory claims. Executive further understands that this Agreement to arbitrate also applies to any disputes that the Company may have with Executive. 

(b) Procedure. Executive agrees that any arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association
(“AAA”) and that a neutral arbitrator will be selected in a manner consistent with its National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes. The arbitration proceedings will be held in the county of Taleo US headquarters and will allow
for discovery according to the rules set forth in the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes or California Code of Civil Procedure. Executive agrees that the arbitrator will have the power to decide any motions brought by
any party to the arbitration, including motions for summary judgment and/or adjudication and motions to dismiss and demurrers, prior to any arbitration hearing. Executive agrees that the arbitrator will issue a written decision on the merits.
Executive understands the Company will pay for any administrative or hearing fees charged by the arbitrator or AAA except that Executive will pay the first $200.00 of any filing fees associated with any arbitration Executive initiates. Executive
agrees that the arbitrator will administer and conduct any arbitration in a manner consistent with the Rules and that to the extent that the AAA’s National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes conflict with the Rules, the Rules will
take precedence. 

  
 9 

  
 (c) Remedy.
Except as provided by the Rules, arbitration will be the sole, exclusive, and final remedy for any dispute between Executive and the Company. Accordingly, except as provided for by the Rules, neither Executive nor the Company will be permitted to
pursue court action regarding claims that are subject to arbitration. Notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have the authority to disregard or refuse to enforce any lawful Company policy unless such policy is in conflict with the explicit terms
of this Agreement, and the arbitrator will not order or require the Company to adopt a policy not otherwise required by law which the Company has not adopted. 
 (d) Availability of Injunctive Relief. In addition to the right under the Rules to petition the court for provisional relief, Executive agrees that any party also may petition the court for
injunctive relief where either party alleges or claims a violation of this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement or any other agreement regarding trade secrets, confidential information, nonsolicitation, noninducement or Labor
Code §2870. 
 (e) Administrative Relief. Executive understands that this Agreement does not prohibit Executive
from pursuing an administrative claim with a local, state, or federal administrative body such as the Department of Fair Employment and Housing, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or the workers’ compensation board. This Agreement
does, however, preclude Executive from pursuing court action regarding any such claim. 
 (f) Voluntary Nature of
Agreement. Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive is executing this Agreement voluntarily and without any duress or undue influence by the Company or anyone else. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that Executive has carefully
read this Agreement and that Executive has asked any questions needed for Executive to understand the terms, consequences, and binding effect of this Agreement, including that Executive is waiving Executive’s right to a jury trial. Finally,
Executive agrees that Executive has been provided an opportunity to seek the advice of an attorney of Executive’s choice before signing this Agreement. 
 14. Section 409A. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, no severance payments or benefits payable to Executive, if any, pursuant to this Agreement that, when considered together with any other severance payments or separation benefits, is considered deferred compensation under
Section 409A (together, the “Deferred Payments”) will be payable until Executive has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. Similarly, no severance payable to Executive, if any, pursuant to this
Agreement that otherwise would be exempt from Section 409A pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) will be payable until Executive has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.

 (b) Further, if Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of
Executive’s separation from service (other than due to death), any Deferred Payments that otherwise are payable within the first six (6) months following Executive’s separation from service will become payable on the first payroll
date that occurs on or after the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Executive’s separation from service. All subsequent Deferred Payments, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule
applicable to each payment or benefit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event of Executive’s death following Executive’s separation from service but prior to the six (6) month anniversary of Executive’s
separation from service (or any later delay date), then any payments delayed in accordance with this paragraph will be payable in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the date of Executive’s death and all other Deferred
Payments will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Each payment and benefit payable under the Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of
the Treasury Regulations. 

  
 10 

  
 (c) Any severance
payment that satisfies the requirements of the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations shall not constitute Deferred Payments for purposes of the Agreement. Any severance payment that
qualifies as a payment made as a result of an involuntary separation from service pursuant to Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations that does not exceed the Section 409A Limit shall not constitute Deferred Payments for
purposes of the Agreement. For purposes of this subsection (c), “Section 409A Limit” will mean the lesser of two (2) times: (i) Executive’s annualized compensation based upon the annual rate of pay paid to Executive during
the Company’s taxable year preceding the Company’s taxable year of Executive’s separation from service as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)(1) and any Internal Revenue Service guidance issued
with respect thereto; or (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the year in which Executive’s employment is terminated. 

(d) The foregoing provisions are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the severance payments and
benefits to be provided under the Agreement will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply. Executive and the Company agree to work together in good faith to
consider amendments to the Agreement and to take such reasonable actions which are necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition prior to actual payment to Executive under Section 409A.

 15. Integration. This Agreement represents the entire agreement and understanding between the parties as to the
subject matter herein and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements whether written or oral. No waiver, alteration, or modification of any of the provisions of this Agreement will be binding unless in a writing that specifically references
this Section and is signed by duly authorized representatives of the parties hereto. Executive agrees to work in good faith with the Company to consider amendments to this Agreement which are necessary or appropriate to avoid imposition of any
additional tax or income recognition under Section 409A prior to the actual payment to Executive of payments or benefits under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement will be deemed amended, without any consent required
from Executive, to the extent necessary to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition pursuant to Section 409A prior to actual payments under this Agreement to Executive. The parties agree to cooperate with each other and to
take reasonably necessary steps in this regard. With respect to stock options and awards of restricted stock granted on or after the date hereof, the acceleration of vesting provisions provided herein will apply to such awards except to the extent
otherwise explicitly provided in the applicable equity award agreement. 
 16. Waiver of Breach. The waiver of a breach
of any term or provision of this Agreement, which must be in writing, will not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other previous or subsequent breach of this Agreement. 

17. Survival. The Company’s and Executive’s responsibilities under Sections 9 and 13 and all other provisions intended
by their terms to survive the termination of this Agreement will survive the termination of this Agreement. 
 18.
Headings. All captions and section headings used in this Agreement are for convenient reference only and do not form a part of this Agreement. 

  
 11 

  
 19. Tax
Withholding. All payments made pursuant to this Agreement will be subject to withholding of applicable taxes. 
 20.
Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of California (with the exception of its conflict of laws provisions). 
 21. Acknowledgment. Executive acknowledges that Executive has had the opportunity to discuss this matter with and obtain advice from Executive’s private attorney, has had sufficient time to,
and has carefully read and fully understands all the provisions of this Agreement, and is knowingly and voluntarily entering into this Agreement. 
 22. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and may be exchanged by fax or electronically scanned and emailed copies. Each counterpart will have the same force and effect as
an original and will constitute an effective, binding agreement on the part of each of the undersigned. 
 23.
Parachutes. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that any payments or benefits received or to be received by Executive in connection with Executive’s employment with Company (or termination
thereof) would subject Executive to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Excise Tax”), and if the net-after tax amount (taking into account all applicable taxes payable by
Executive, including without limitation any Excise Tax) that Executive would receive with respect to such payments or benefits is less than the net-after tax amount Executive would receive if the amount of such payments and benefits were reduced to
the maximum amount which could otherwise be payable to Executive without the imposition of the Excise Tax, then, and only the extent necessary to eliminate the imposition of the Excise Tax, such payments and benefits shall be so reduced. Any
reduction in payments and/or benefits required by this Section 23 will occur in the following order: (a) reduction of cash payments; (b) reduction of vesting acceleration of equity awards; and (c) reduction of other benefits paid
or provided to Executive. In the event that acceleration of vesting of equity awards is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting will be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant for Executive’s equity awards. If two or more equity
awards are granted on the same date, each award will be reduced on a pro-rata basis. In no event shall the Executive have any discretion with respect to the ordering of payment reductions. 

Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 23 will be made in
writing by a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm selected by the Company, the Company’s legal counsel or such other person or entity to which the parties mutually agree (the “Accountants”), whose determination will
be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company for all purposes. 
 For purposes of making the calculations required
by this Section 23, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The
Company and Executive will furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 23. The Company will bear all costs the Accountants may
reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 23.
