 RPX CORPORATION 2011 EQUITY INCENTIVE
PLAN 
 STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 

(NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS) 

 

			
	 Grant of Option &

Defined Terms
	  	 Subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, this Agreement and the Plan, the Company
has granted you an option to purchase up to the total number of shares of common stock specified in the Notice of Stock Option Grant at the exercise price indicated in the Notice of Stock Option Grant.

 
 Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings
assigned in the Plan.

		
	 Vesting
	  	This option vests and becomes exercisable in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant. In addition, this option will vest in full if the
Company is subject to a Change in Control before your Service terminates. In no event will this option vest or become exercisable for additional shares after your Service has terminated for any reason.
		
	 Term
	  	This option expires in any event at the close of business at Company headquarters on the day before the 10th anniversary of the Date of Grant, as shown in the Notice of Stock Option Grant. (This option will expire earlier if
your Service terminates, as described below, and this option may be terminated sooner as provided in Article 9 of the Plan.)
		
	 Termination of

Service
	  	If your Service terminates for any reason, this option will expire immediately to the extent the option is unvested as of your termination date and does not vest as a result of
your termination of Service. The Company determines when your Service terminates for this purpose.
		
	 Regular

Termination
	  	If your Service terminates for any reason except death or total and permanent disability (as defined below), then this option, to the extent vested as of your termination date,
will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date three months after your termination date.
		
	 Death
	  	If you die before your Service terminates, then this option, to the extent vested as of your death, will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date 12
months after the date of your death.
		
	 Disability
	  	If your Service terminates because of your total and permanent disability, then this option, to the extent vested as of your termination date, will expire at the close of
business at Company headquarters on the date 12 months after your termination date.

  
 2 

			
		  	For all purposes under this Agreement, “total and permanent disability” means that you are unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any
medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted, or can be expected to last, for a continuous period of not less than one year.
		
	 Leaves of Absence

and Part-Time

Work
	  	 For purposes of this option, your Service does not terminate when you go on a military leave, a sick leave or another bona
fide leave of absence, if the leave was approved by the Company in writing and if continued crediting of Service is required by the terms of the leave or by applicable law. But your Service terminates when the approved leave ends, unless you
immediately return to active work.
  
 If you go on an unpaid leave of absence
that lasts more than thirty days, then, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the vesting schedule specified in the Notice of Stock Option Grant will be suspended on the thirty-first day of such unpaid leave, and this option will not vest or
become exercisable with respect to any additional shares during the remainder of such leave. Vesting will resume when you return to active Service. If you go on a paid leave of absence, the vesting schedule specified in the Notice of Stock Option
Grant may be adjusted in accordance with the Company’s leave of absence policy or the terms of your leave.
  
 If you commence working on a part-time basis, the Company may adjust the vesting schedule so that the rate of vesting is commensurate with your reduced work schedule.

		
	 Restrictions on

Exercise
	  	The Company will not permit you to exercise this option if the issuance of shares at that time would violate any law or regulation.
		
	 Notice of Exercise
	  	 When you wish to exercise this option, you must notify the Company by filing the proper “Notice of Exercise” form at the
address given on the form. Your notice must specify how many shares you wish to purchase. The notice will be effective when the Company receives it.
  

However, if you wish to exercise this option by executing a same-day sale (as described below), you must follow the instructions of the Company and the
broker who will execute the sale.
  
 If someone else wants to exercise this
option after your death, that person must prove to the Company’s satisfaction that he or she is entitled to do so.

  
 3 

			
		  	You may only exercise your option for whole shares.
		
	 Form of Payment
	  	 When you submit your notice of exercise, you must include payment of the option exercise price for the shares that you are
purchasing. To the extent permitted by applicable law, payment may be made in one (or a combination of) of the following forms:
  

•    By delivering to the Company your personal check, a cashier’s check or a money
order.
  

•    By giving to a securities broker approved by the Company irrevocable directions to
sell all or part of your option shares and to deliver to the Company, from the sale proceeds, an amount sufficient to pay the option exercise price and any withholding taxes. (The balance of the sale proceeds, if any, will be delivered to you.) The
directions must be given in accordance with the instructions of the Company and the broker. This exercise method is sometimes called a “same-day sale.”

		
	 Withholding

Taxes
	  	You will not be allowed to exercise this option unless you make arrangements acceptable to the Company to pay any withholding taxes that may be due as a result of the option
exercise. These arrangements include payment in cash. With the Company’s consent, these arrangements may also include (a) payment from the proceeds of the sale of shares through a Company-approved broker, (b) withholding shares of
Company stock that otherwise would be issued to you when you exercise this option, (c) surrendering shares that you previously acquired or (d) withholding cash from other compensation. The fair market value of withheld or surrendered
shares, determined as of the date when taxes otherwise would have been withheld in cash, will be applied to the withholding taxes.
		
	 Restrictions on

Resale
	  	You agree not to sell any option shares at a time when applicable laws, Company policies or an agreement between the Company and its underwriters prohibit a sale. This
restriction will apply as long as your Service continues and for such period of time after the termination of your Service as the Company may specify.

 

  
 4 

			
		
	 Transfer of

Option
	  	 Prior to your death, only you may exercise this option. You cannot transfer or assign this option. For instance, you may not sell
this option or use it as security for a loan. If you attempt to do any of these things, this option will immediately become invalid. You may, however, dispose of this option in your will or by means of a written beneficiary designation.

 
 Regardless of any marital property settlement agreement, the Company is not obligated
to honor a notice of exercise from your former spouse, nor is the Company obligated to recognize your former spouse’s interest in your option in any other way.

		
	 Retention Rights
	  	Your option or this Agreement does not give you the right to be retained by the Company, a Parent, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate in any capacity. The Company and its Parents,
Subsidiaries and Affiliates reserve the right to terminate your Service at any time, with or without cause.
		
	 Stockholder

Rights
	  	You, or your estate or heirs, have no rights as a stockholder of the Company until you have exercised this option by giving the required notice to the Company and paying the
exercise price and any applicable withholding taxes. No adjustments are made for dividends or other rights if the applicable record date occurs before you exercise this option, except as described in the Plan.
		
	 Adjustments
	  	In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in Company stock, the number of shares covered by this option and the exercise price per share will be
adjusted pursuant to the Plan.
		
	 Corporate

Transactions
	  	If the Company is party to a merger, consolidation or certain corporate transactions, then this option will be subject to the applicable provisions of Article 9 of the
Plan.
		
	 Applicable Law
	  	This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to its choice-of-law provisions).

  
 5 

			
	The Plan and
Other Agreements	  	 The text of the Plan is incorporated in this Agreement by reference. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of
the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan will prevail.
  
 This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding this option. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning this option are superseded.
This Agreement may be amended only by another written agreement between the parties.

 BY
SIGNING THE COVER SHEET OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AGREE TO ALL OF
THE 
 TERMS AND CONDITIONS DESCRIBED
ABOVE AND IN THE PLAN.

		 		 	Title:	 	  

 RPX CORPORATION 2011 EQUITY INCENTIVE
PLAN: 
 STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT 

 

			
	 Grant of Units &

Defined Terms
	  	 Subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Notice of Stock Unit Award, this Agreement and the Plan, the Company has
granted to you the number of stock units set forth in the Notice of Stock Unit Award.
  
 Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned in the Plan.
  

For all purposes applicable to your stock units, “Service” means your continuous service as an Employee or Consultant.

		
	Payment for Units	  	No payment is required for the stock units that you are receiving.
		
	Vesting	  	The stock units vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice of Stock Unit Award. No additional stock units will vest after your Service has terminated
for any reason.
		
	Forfeiture	  	If your Service terminates for any reason, then your stock units will be forfeited to the extent that they have not vested before the termination date and do not vest as a result
of the termination of your Service. This means that any stock units that have not vested under this Agreement will immediately be cancelled. You receive no payment for stock units that are forfeited.
		
		  	The Company determines when your Service terminates for this purpose.
		
	 Leaves of Absence
 and Part-Time
 Work
	  	For purposes of this award, your Service does not terminate when you go on a military leave, a sick leave or another bona fide leave of absence, if the leave was approved
by the Company in writing and if continued crediting of Service is required by applicable law, the Company’s leave of absence policy or the terms of your leave. But your Service terminates when the approved leave ends, unless you immediately
return to active work.

			
	 	  	 If you go on an unpaid leave of absence that lasts more than thirty days, then, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, the
vesting schedule specified in the Notice of Stock Unit Award will be suspended on the
thirty-first day of such unpaid leave and no additional stock units will vest during the remainder of such leave.
Vesting will resume when you return to
active Service. If you go on a paid leave of absence, the vesting
schedule specified in the Notice of Stock Unit Award may be adjusted in accordance with the Company’s leave
of absence policy or the terms of your leave.

 
 If you commence working on a part-time basis, the Company may adjust the vesting
schedule so that the rate of
vesting is commensurate with your reduced work schedule.

		
	Settlement of Units	  	 Each of your stock units will be settled when it vests (unless you and the Company have agreed in writing to a later settlement date
pursuant to procedures that the Company may prescribe at its discretion). At the time of settlement, you will receive one share of the Company’s common stock for each vested stock unit. The shares to be issued upon vesting of the stock units
will be issued as soon as reasonably practicable on or following the vesting date, but in any event within 30 days of such vesting date.
 No
fractional shares will be issued upon settlement.

		
	Section 409A	  	 This paragraph applies only if the Company determines that you are a “specified employee,” as defined in the regulations
under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), at the time of your “separation from service,” as defined in those regulations, and it is determined that settlement of these stock units is
not exempt from Code Section 409A. If this paragraph applies, then any stock units that otherwise would have been settled during the first six months following your separation from service will instead be settled on the first business day following
the earlier of (i) the six-month anniversary of your separation from service or (ii) your death, unless the event triggering vesting is an event other than your separation from service.

 
 Each installment of stock units that vests is hereby designated as a separate payment
for purposes of Code Section 409A.

		
	Nature of Stock Units	  	Your stock units are mere bookkeeping entries. They represent only the Company’s unfunded and unsecured promise to issue shares of Common Stock on a future date. As a holder
of stock units, you have no rights other than the rights of a general creditor of the Company.

  
 3 

			
	 No Voting Rights

or Dividends
	  	Your stock units carry neither voting rights nor rights to cash dividends. You have no rights as a stockholder of the Company unless and until your stock units are settled by
issuing shares of the Company’s Common Stock.
		
	 Units

Nontransferable
	  	You may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of any stock units. For instance, you may not use your stock units as security for a loan.
		
	 Beneficiary

Designation
	  	You may dispose of your stock units in a written beneficiary designation. A beneficiary designation must be filed with the Company on the proper form. It will be recognized only if
it has been received at the Company’s headquarters before your death. If you file no beneficiary designation or if none of your designated beneficiaries survives you, then your estate will receive any vested stock units that you hold at the
time of your death.
		
	 Withholding

Taxes
	  	No stock certificates will be distributed to you unless you have made arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the payment of any withholding taxes that are due as a result of
the vesting or settlement of these stock units (the “Tax Withholding Obligations”). Prior to any relevant taxable event, you will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all Tax Withholding Obligations.
These arrangements include payment in cash. With the Company’s consent, these arrangements may also include (a) payment from the proceeds of the sale of shares through a Company-approved broker, (b) surrendering shares that you previously
acquired or (c) withholding cash from other compensation. However, unless you notify the Company’s stock plan administrator that you will pay the Tax Withholding Obligations in cash or make alternative arrangements satisfactory to
the Company to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligations, in either case at a time when you are permitted to sell shares under the Company’s Insider Trading Policy and at least two weeks prior to the date the stock units vest, the Company
will satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligations applicable to such stock units by withholding shares of Company stock that would otherwise be issued to you when the stock units are settled (this method of satisfying your Tax Withholding Obligations is
referred to as “Stock Withholding”). The fair market value of any withheld or surrendered shares, determined as of the date when taxes otherwise would have been withheld in cash, will be applied to the withholding taxes. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may determine to discontinue Stock Withholding with respect to any future vesting date.
		
		  	To the extent you fail to make satisfactory arrangements for the payment of any Tax Withholding Obligations, you will permanently

 

  
 4 

			
		  	forfeit the applicable stock units.
		
	 Restrictions on

Resale
	  	You agree not to sell any shares at a time when applicable laws, Company policies or an agreement between the Company and its underwriters prohibit a sale. This restriction will
apply as long as your Service continues and for such period of time after the termination of your Service as the Company may specify.
		
	 Employment at Will
	  	Your award or this Agreement does not give you the right to be retained by the Company, a Parent, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate in any capacity. The Company and its Parents,
Subsidiaries and Affiliates reserve the right to terminate your Service at any time, with or without cause.
		
	 Adjustments
	  	In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in Company stock, the number of your stock units will be adjusted accordingly, as the Company may determine
pursuant to the Plan.
		
	 Effect of Corporate

Transaction
	  	If the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation or certain corporate transactions, then your stock units will be subject to the applicable provisions of Article 9 of the
Plan, provided that any action taken must either (a) preserve the exemption of your stock units from Code Section 409A or (b) comply with Code Section 409A.
		
	 Applicable Law
	  	This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to its choice-of-law provisions).
		
	 The Plan and Other

Agreements
	  	 The text of the Plan is incorporated in this Agreement by reference. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of
the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan will prevail.
  
 The Plan, this Agreement and the Notice of Stock Unit Award constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding this award. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations
concerning this award are superseded. This Agreement may be amended only by another written agreement between the parties.

 BY SIGNING THE COVER SHEET OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU
