ARLO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

FORM OF CHANGE IN CONTROL AND SEVERANCE AGREEMENT
This Change in Control and Severance Agreement (the “Agreement”) was first made between Arlo Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) and ______________ (the “Executive”), effective as of _________, 20__ (the “Effective Date”). 
This Agreement provides certain protections to the Executive in connection with a change in control of the Company or in connection with the involuntary termination of the Executive’s employment under the circumstances described in this Agreement.
The Company and the Executive agree as follows:
1.Term of Agreement. This Agreement will have an initial term of three (3) years commencing on the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”). On the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date, this Agreement annually will renew automatically for additional one (1) year terms (each, an “Additional Term”) unless either party provides the other party with written notice of nonrenewal at least one (1) year prior to the date of automatic renewal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change in Control occurs (a) when there are fewer than twelve (12) months remaining during the Initial Term or (b) during an Additional Term, the term of this Agreement will extend automatically through the date that is twelve (12) months following the date of the Change of Control. If Executive becomes entitled to the benefits under Section 3 of this Agreement, then the Agreement will not terminate until all of the obligations of the parties hereto with respect to this Agreement have been satisfied.
2.At-Will Employment. The Company and the Executive acknowledge that the Executive’s employment is and will continue to be at-will, as defined under applicable law.
3.Severance Benefits.
(a)Qualifying Non-CIC Termination. On a Qualifying Non-CIC Termination (as defined below), the Executive will be eligible to receive the following payments and benefits from the Company:
(i)Salary Severance. A single, lump sum payment equal to twelve (12) months of the Executive’s Salary (as defined below), less applicable withholdings.
(ii)[Reserved].
(iii)COBRA Coverage. Subject to Section 3(d), the Company will pay the premiums for coverage under COBRA (as defined below) for the Executive and the Executive’s eligible dependents, if any, at the rates then in effect, subject to any subsequent changes in rates that are generally applicable to the Company’s active employees (the “COBRA Coverage”), until the earliest of (A) a period of twelve (12) months from the date of the Executive’s termination of employment, (B) the date upon which the Executive (and the Executive’s eligible dependents, as applicable) becomes covered under similar plans, or (C) the date upon which the Executive ceases to be eligible for coverage under COBRA.
(iv)Equity Vesting. The Executive’s then-outstanding equity awards that vest solely subject to the Executive’s continued service with the Company over time (the “Time-Vesting Equity Awards”) will immediately vest as to the number of shares subject to the Time-Vesting Equity Awards that were otherwise scheduled to vest had the Executive remained employed with the Company for twelve (12) months following the date of the Executive’s Non-CIC Qualified Termination. Any restricted stock units and/or similar full value awards that vest under this paragraph will be settled within ten (10) business days of the Severance Start Date (as defined 
1

below), subject to Section 5(d) of this Agreement. In the case of equity awards with performance-based vesting, such awards shall be governed by the terms of the applicable equity award agreement evidencing such awards.
(b)Qualifying CIC Termination. On a Qualifying CIC Termination, the Executive will be eligible to receive the following payments and benefits from the Company:
(i)Salary Severance. A single, lump sum payment equal to twelve (12) months of the Executive’s Salary, less applicable withholdings.
(ii)Bonus Payment. A single, lump sum payment (less applicable withholdings) equal to 100% of the Executive’s target annual bonus as in effect for the fiscal year in which the Qualifying CIC Termination occurs or as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, whichever is greater.
(iii)COBRA Coverage. Subject to Section 3(d), the Company will provide COBRA Coverage until the earliest of (A) a period of twelve (12) months from the date of the Executive’s termination of employment, (B) the date upon which the Executive (and the Executive’s eligible dependents, as applicable) becomes covered under similar plans, or (C) the date upon which the Executive ceases to be eligible for coverage under COBRA.
(iv)Equity Vesting. Accelerated vesting (and exercisability, as applicable) as to 100% of the then-unvested shares subject to each of the Executive’s then-outstanding Time-Vesting Equity Awards. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of the Executive’s Qualifying Pre-CIC Termination (as defined below), any unvested portion of the Executive’s then-outstanding Time-Vesting Equity Awards will remain outstanding until the earlier of (x) one (1) month following the Qualifying Termination or (y) the occurrence of a Change in Control, solely so that any benefits due on a Qualifying Pre-CIC Termination can be provided if a Change in Control occurs within one (1) month following the Qualifying Termination (provided that in no event will the Executive’s stock options or similar equity awards remain outstanding beyond the equity award’s maximum term to expiration). If no Change in Control occurs within one (1) month following a Qualifying Termination, any unvested portion of the Executive’s Time-Vesting Equity Awards automatically and permanently will be forfeited on the one (1) month anniversary following the date of the Qualifying Termination without having vested. In the case of equity awards with performance-based vesting, such awards shall be governed by the terms of the applicable equity award agreement evidencing such awards.
(c)Termination Other Than a Qualifying Termination. If the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company Group is not a Qualifying Termination, then the Executive will not be entitled to receive severance or other benefits.
(d)Conditions to Receipt of COBRA Coverage. The Executive’s receipt of COBRA Coverage is subject to the Executive electing COBRA continuation coverage within the time period prescribed pursuant to COBRA for the Executive and the Executive’s eligible dependents, if any. If the Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot provide the COBRA Coverage without potentially violating, or being subject to an excise tax under, applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), then in lieu of any COBRA Coverage, the Company will provide to the Executive a taxable monthly payment payable on the last day of a given month (except as provided by the immediately following sentence), in an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium that the Executive would be required to pay to continue his or her group health coverage in effect on the date of his or her Qualifying Termination (which amount will be based on the premium rates applicable for the first month of COBRA Coverage for the Executive and any of eligible dependents of the Executive) (each, a “COBRA Replacement Payment”), which COBRA Replacement Payments will be made regardless of whether the Executive elects COBRA continuation coverage and will end on the earlier of (x) the date upon which the Executive obtains other employment or (y) the date the Company has paid an amount totaling the number of COBRA Replacement Payments equal to the number of months in the applicable COBRA Coverage period. For the avoidance of doubt, the COBRA Replacement Payments may be used for any purpose, including, but not limited to continuation coverage under COBRA, and will be subject to any applicable withholdings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under this Agreement, if the Company determines in its sole discretion at any time that it cannot provide the COBRA Replacement Payments without violating applicable law (including, 
2
 

without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Executive will not receive the COBRA Replacement Payments or any further COBRA Coverage.
(e)Non-Duplication of Payment or Benefits. For purposes of clarity, in the event of a Qualifying Pre-CIC Termination, any severance payments and benefits to be provided to the Executive under Section 3(b) will be reduced by any amounts that already were provided to the Executive under Section 3(a).
(f)Death of the Executive. In the event of the Executive’s death before all payments or benefits the Executive is entitled to receive under this Agreement have been provided, the unpaid amounts will be provided to the Executive’s designated beneficiary, if living, or otherwise to the Executive’s personal representative in a single lump sum as soon as possible following the Executive’s death.
(g)Transfer Between Members of the Company Group. For purposes of this Agreement, if the Executive is involuntarily transferred from one member of the Company Group to another, the transfer will not be a termination without Cause but may give the Executive the ability to resign for Good Reason.
(h)Exclusive Remedy. In the event of a termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company Group, the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and are exclusive and in lieu of any other rights or remedies to which the Executive may otherwise be entitled, whether at law, tort or contract, or in equity. The Executive will be entitled to no benefits, compensation or other payments or rights upon termination of employment other than those benefits expressly set forth in this Agreement.
4.Accrued Compensation. On any termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company Group, the Executive will be entitled to receive all accrued but unpaid vacation, expense reimbursements, wages, and other benefits due to the Executive under any Company-provided plans, policies, and arrangements.
5.Conditions to Receipt of Severance.
(a)Separation Agreement and Release of Claims. The Executive’s receipt of any severance payments or benefits upon the Executive’s Qualifying Termination under Section 3 is subject to the Executive signing and not revoking the Company’s then-standard separation agreement and release of claims (which may include an agreement not to disparage any member of the Company Group, non-solicit provisions, an agreement to assist in any litigation matters, and other standard terms and conditions) (the “Release” and that requirement, the “Release Requirement”), which must become effective and irrevocable no later than the 60th day following the Executive’s Qualifying Termination (the “Release Deadline”). If the Release does not become effective and irrevocable by the Release Deadline, the Executive will forfeit any right to severance payments or benefits under Section 3.
(b)Payment Timing. Any lump sum Salary or bonus payments under Sections 3(a)(i) and 3(b)(i) will be provided on the first regularly scheduled payroll date of the Company following the date the Release becomes effective and irrevocable (the “Severance Start Date”), subject to any delay required by Section 5(d) below. Any taxable installments of any COBRA-related severance benefits that otherwise would have been made to the Executive on or before the Severance Start Date will be paid on the Severance Start Date, and any remaining installments thereafter will be provided as specified in the Agreement. Subject to any delay required by Section 5(d) below, any restricted stock units and/or similar full value awards that accelerate vesting under Sections 3(a)(iii) and 3(b)(iv) will be settled (x) on a date no later than ten (10) days following the date the Release becomes effective and irrevocable, or (y) if later, in the event of a Qualifying Pre-CIC Termination, on a date no later than the Change in Control.
(c)Return of Company Property. The Executive’s receipt of any severance payments or benefits upon the Executive’s Qualifying Termination under Section 3 is subject to the Executive returning all documents and other property provided to the Executive by any member of the Company Group (with the exception of a copy of the Company employee handbook and personnel documents specifically relating to the Executive), 
3
 

developed or obtained by the Executive in connection with his employment with the Company Group, or otherwise belonging to the Company Group.
(d)Section 409A. The Company intends that all payments and benefits provided under this Agreement or otherwise are exempt from, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and any guidance promulgated under Section 409A of the Code (collectively, “Section 409A”) so that none of the payments or benefits will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities in this Agreement will be interpreted in accordance with this intent. No payment or benefits to be paid to the Executive (including settlement of Company equity awards that constitute deferred compensation under Section 409A), if any, under this Agreement or otherwise, when considered together with any other severance payments or separation benefits that are considered deferred compensation under Section 409A (together, the “Deferred Payments”) will be paid or otherwise provided until the Executive has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. If, at the time of the Executive’s termination of employment, the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A, then the payment of the Deferred Payments will be delayed to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, which generally means that the Executive will receive payment on the first payroll date that occurs on or after the date that is 6 months and 1 day following the Executive’s termination of employment. The Company reserves the right to amend this Agreement as it considers necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Executive or any other individual, to comply with any provision required to avoid the imposition of the additional tax imposed under Section 409A or to otherwise avoid income recognition under Section 409A prior to the actual payment of any benefits or imposition of any additional tax. Each payment, installment, and benefit payable under this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2). In no event will any member of the Company Group reimburse, indemnify, or hold harmless the Executive for any taxes, penalties and interest that may be imposed, or other costs that may be incurred, as a result of Section 409A.
(e)Resignation of Officer and Director Positions. The Executive’s receipt of any severance payments or benefits upon the Executive’s Qualifying Termination under Section 3 is subject to the Executive resigning from all officer and director positions with all members of the Company Group and the Executive executing any documents the Company may require in connection with the same.
6.Limitation on Payments.
(a)Reduction of Severance Benefits. If any payment or benefit that the Executive would receive from any Company Group member or any other party whether in connection with the provisions in this Agreement or otherwise (the “Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the Payment will be equal to the Best Results Amount. The “Best Results Amount” will be either (x) the full amount of the Payment or (y) a lesser amount that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of those amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the Executive’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting parachute payments is necessary so that the Payment equals the Best Results Amount, reduction will occur in the following order: (A) reduction of cash payments in reverse chronological order (that is, the cash payment owed on the latest date following the occurrence of the event triggering the excise tax will be the first cash payment to be reduced); (B) cancellation of equity awards that were granted “contingent on a change in ownership or control” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code in the reverse order of date of grant of the awards (that is, the most recently granted equity awards will be cancelled first); (C) reduction of the accelerated vesting of equity awards in the reverse order of date of grant of the awards (that is, the vesting of the most recently granted equity awards will be cancelled first); and (D) reduction of employee benefits in reverse chronological order (that is, the benefit owed on the latest date following the occurrence of the event triggering the excise tax will be the first benefit to be reduced). In no event will the Executive have any discretion with respect to the ordering of Payment reductions. The Executive will be solely responsible for the payment of all personal tax liability that is incurred as a result of the payments and benefits received under this Agreement, and the Executive will not be reimbursed, indemnified, or held harmless by any member of the Company Group for any of those payments of personal tax liability.
4
 

(b)Determination of Excise Tax Liability. Unless the Company and the Executive otherwise agree in writing, the Company will select a professional services firm (the “Firm”) to make all determinations required under this Section 6, which determinations will be conclusive and binding upon the Executive and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 6, the Firm 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 the Executive will furnish to the Firm such information and documents as the Firm reasonably may request in order to make determinations under this Section 6. The Company will bear the costs and make all payments for the Firm’s services in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 6. The Company will have no liability to the Executive for the determinations of the Firm.

Any termination for “Cause” will require Board approval, and the Executive will be given the opportunity to appear in person before the entire Board in order to explain the Executive’s position on the allegations or claims that constitute “Cause”.

	Target Number of RSUs Subject to Award	[___]
	Maximum Number of RSUs Subject to Award	[___]

2. General Vesting Schedule: In order for any Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award to vest and be earned, each of (i) the service vesting requirement specified in Section 2(a) and Section 3 (the “Service Vesting Requirement”) and (ii) the Company performance goal specified in Section 2(b) below (the “Performance Goal”) must be satisfied.  Subject to the potential vesting acceleration provisions in the Plan and provided Participant accepts the Restricted Stock Units prior to the first anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date, the Restricted Stock Units will vest as provided herein.

		Cash Balance	as % of Target	RSU Vesting (% Target)
	Maximum	$175M	112.9%	120%
	Target	$155M	100.0%	100%
	Threshold	$145M	93.5%	75%

“Cash Balance” means the Company’s cash and cash equivalents as reported by the Company in its periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, as reduced for cash received from non-ordinary course transactions, including, but not limited to, cash received by the Company from financing transactions, and as increased for cash expended on unanticipated items, including but not limited to new product development efforts authorized by the Board, in each case as determined by the Board (or an authorized committee thereof) in its sole discretion.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Board (or an authorized committee thereof) shall make the final determination of the Cash Balance for purposes of the Award and such determination shall be binding on the Participant. 
The Board will determine the level of attainment of the Performance Goal and the number of RSUs eligible to vest no later than April 30, 2021. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change in Control (as defined in Section 4 below) occurs no later than December 31, 2020, the Performance Goal will instead be deemed achieved at the target Award level.  In determining the level of attainment of the Performance Goal and the number of RSUs eligible to vest, the Board may applying rounding, in its discretion, for administrative convenience.  In all cases, the Board’s determination of the number of RSUs eligible to vest is final and binding on Participant.  
3.  Accelerated Satisfaction of Service Vesting Requirement: Notwithstanding the Service Vesting Schedule set forth in Section 2(a) above, the Service Vesting Requirement will be deemed satisfied, in part or in full as indicated below, upon the occurrence of the following events, such that all or part of the Award will become eligible to vest based on the applicable level of attainment of the Performance Goal:
(a)  The Service Vesting Requirement is satisfied in full with respect to the entire Award upon Participant’s cessation as an active Service Provider due to Retirement, death or Disability in each case which occurs after the earlier of: (i) December 31, 2020 or (ii) a Change in Control.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Participant ceases to be an active Service Provider due to Retirement, death or Disability in each case which occurs on or prior to December 31, 2020 and prior to a Change in Control, the Service Vesting Requirement is not satisfied and no portion of the Award is eligible to vest;
(b)  1/3rd of the Service Vesting Requirement is satisfied upon Participant’s cessation as an active Service Provider due to Qualifying Termination which occurs no later than December 31, 2020; 
(c) An applicable portion of Service Vesting Requirement is satisfied upon Participant’s cessation as an active Service Provider due to a Qualifying Termination which occurs after December 31, 2020 and as determined in accordance with the Service Vesting Schedule as if the Participant had remained an active Service Provider for an additional 12 months.
4.  Definitions:  For all purposes of the Award the following terms used in this Notice of Grant have the meanings set forth below.

(b)  “Change in Control” in all cases means a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) that is also a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company as described in Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(iv).
(c)  “Good Reason” means that the Participant resigns from the Company if one of the following events occur without the Participant’s consent:

(ii) the relocation of Participant’s principal place of performing his or her duties as an employee of the Company by more than fifty (50) miles; or 
(iii) a material, adverse change in the Participant’s authority, responsibilities or duties, as measured against the Participant’s authority, responsibilities or duties immediately prior to such change.

5.  General
(a) With respect to the Award, the terms of the Award as set forth in this Agreement supersede any individually negotiated agreement you have with Company or an Affiliate (including but not limited to your Change in Control and Severance Agreement) and any generally applicable severance or change-in-control plan, policy, or practice, whether written or unwritten, of the Company or an Affiliate that would otherwise apply to the Award (“Separate Agreement”).  As a condition to accepting your Award, you acknowledge that your Award is not subject to the terms of any Separate Agreement and is governed solely by this Agreement and the Plan.

225368805 v5 

(b)  If Participant does not accept the Restricted Stock Units prior to the first anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date, all Restricted Stock Units may be forfeited in their entirety, in the Administrator’s sole discretion, and neither Participant nor the Company (or its Affiliates) shall have any rights or obligations under the Plan, the Agreement or this Notice of Grant or any right to any equivalent amounts or payments in lieu of the Restricted Stock Units.

EXHIBIT A

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
1.Grant.  The Company hereby grants to Participant named in the Notice of Grant the number of Restricted Stock Units set forth in the Notice of Grant, subject to these Terms and Conditions of the Restricted Stock Units (together, the “Agreement”), the Notice of Grant, and the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference.  Subject to Section 20 of the Plan, in the event of a 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.
1.Company’s Obligation to Pay.
(a)General.  Subject to Section 2(c), each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive a Share on the date it vests, including to the limited extent permitted under Section 7(b) for satisfying any withholding obligation for income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant (“Tax-Related Items”).  Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units will have vested, Participant will have no right to payment of any such Restricted Stock Units or the underlying Shares.  Prior to actual payment of any vested Restricted Stock Units, such Restricted Stock Unit will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company.
(b)Timing of Settlement - General.  To the extent the Restricted Stock Units are exempt from application of Section 409A, any Restricted Stock Units that vest in accordance with Sections 3 or 4 will be settled (or in the event of Participant’s death, to his or her estate) in whole Shares, subject to Participant satisfying any applicable Tax-Related Items withholding obligations as set forth in Section 7.  Subject to the provisions of Section 2(c), such vested Restricted Stock Units will be settled in Shares as soon as practicable after vesting, but in each such case by the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) month of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Restricted Stock Units vest.
(c)Timing of Settlement - Section 409A (for U.S. Taxpayers only).
(i)Settlement if Deferred Compensation under Section 409A.  To the extent and if the Restricted Stock Units are considered to be “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A (as defined in Section 2(c)(iii) hereof), then except as necessary to satisfy any Tax-Related Items withholding obligations as set forth in Section 7, the vested Restricted Stock Units will be settled as soon as practicable and in all cases within the sixty (60) day period following the earliest of: 
(A) the dates provided in the Service Vesting Schedule, or
(B) Participant’s death, Disability, or “separation from service,” in each case within the meaning of Section 409A and in each case where such permitted Section 409A payment event occurs after the earlier of: (1) a Change in Control that is also a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company as described in Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(iv), or (2) April 30, 2021.
A-5
225368805 v5 

Additionally, the Company reserves the right to elect to provide for earlier settlement of vested Restricted Stock Units in connection with a Change in Control that is also a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company as described in Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(iv) pursuant to the exemption permitted under Treasury Regulation 1.409A-3(j)(ix)(B).
(ii)Specified Employee Under Section 409A.  Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, if (A) the Restricted Stock Units are considered deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, (B) the Restricted Stock Units will be settled upon a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A, as determined by the Company in accordance with Section 409A, and (C) Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of such separation from service, then the settlement of such Restricted Stock Units will not be made until the earlier of (x) the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Participant’s separation from service and (y) Participant’s death, to the extent necessary to avoid a prohibited acceleration under Section 409A.
(iii)Section 409A.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A” means Section 409A of the Code and the final Treasury Regulations and U.S. Internal Revenue Service guidance thereunder, as each may be amended from time to time.  It is the intent of this Agreement to comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the Restricted Stock Units provided under this Agreement or Shares payable thereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply.  The Company reserves the right, to the extent the Company deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify this Agreement as may be necessary to ensure that all vesting or payouts provided under this Agreement are made in a manner that complies with Section 409A or to mitigate any additional tax, interest and/or penalties or other adverse tax consequences that may apply under Section 409A if compliance is not practical; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2(c)(iii) creates an obligation on the part of the Company to modify the terms of this Agreement or the Plan, and the Company makes no representation that the terms of Restricted Stock Units will comply with Section 409A or that the Restricted Stock Units will not be subject to taxes, interest and penalties or other adverse tax consequences under Section 409A.  In no event whatsoever shall the Company or any of its Affiliates be liable to any party for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on Participant or any other person by Section 409A or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A.
2.Vesting Schedule.  Subject to Section 4 and the terms of the Plan, the Restricted Stock Units awarded by this Agreement will vest only in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Notice of Grant.  
3.Administrator’s Discretion.  The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of some or all of the unvested Restricted Stock Units at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan.  If so accelerated, such Restricted Stock Units shall be considered as having vested as of the date specified by the Administrator.
4.Termination as Service Provider.  
(a)If Participant ceases to be a Service Provider during the Performance Period for any reason during other than as described in Section 3 of the Notice of Grant, any unvested Restricted 
A-6
225368805 v5 

Stock Units shall be forfeited immediately upon termination at no cost to the Company and Participant will have no further rights to Shares or otherwise under this Agreement.
(b)For purposes of the Restricted Stock Units, Participant will cease to be a Service Provider as of the date Participant is no longer actively employed by or providing services to the Company or one of its Affiliates (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later to be found invalid or in breach of applicable employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is a Service Provider or the terms of Participant’s service agreement, if any); and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or determined by the Administrator, Participant’s right to vest in the Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., Participant’s period of service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is a Service Provider or Participant’s employment or service agreement, if any); the Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when Participant is no longer actively employed or providing services for purposes of the Restricted Stock Unit grant (including whether Participant may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence).
5.Settlement after Death.  Any distribution or delivery to be made to Participant under this Agreement will, if Participant is then deceased, be made to Participant’s designated beneficiary, or if no beneficiary survives Participant, the administrator or executor of Participant’s estate.  Any such transferee must furnish the Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may restrict Participants outside the United States from designating a beneficiary who shall be entitled to receive the amounts payable with respect to the Restricted Stock Units, if any, due under the Plan upon Participant’s death.
6.Tax Withholding.
(a)Responsibility for Taxes.  Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, Participant’s employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Employer.  Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, Participant authorizes the Company or its agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
A-7
225368805 v5 

(i)withholding from Participant’s wages or other cash compensation payable to Participant by the Company or the Employer;
(ii)requiring Participant to tender a cash payment to the Company or the Employer;
(iii)withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares to be issued upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); 
(iv)withholding Shares from those Shares to be issued or otherwise issuable to Participant upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units; and
(v)any other method acceptable to the Company and permitted under the Plan and Applicable Laws.
Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including up to the maximum applicable rate for Participant’s jurisdiction(s), in which case Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Share equivalent.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if Participant fails to comply with Participant’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
(b)Tax Withholding Arising Prior to Settlement.  A portion of the Restricted Stock Units automatically and with no exercise of discretion by the Committee shall fully vest in an amount necessary to satisfy any Tax-Related Items withholding obligation that may arise prior to settlement of the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units (for example, upon Participant becoming Retirement eligible prior to vesting date and payment).  Accordingly, the Company will have the right (but not the obligation) to withhold from Participant those Shares or to sell shares on Participant’s behalf that vest pursuant to the preceding sentence to satisfy any Tax-Related Items withholding obligation.  Further, if Participant is a U.S. taxpayer and a portion of the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units will be withheld to satisfy any Tax-Related Items withholding liability prior to settlement of Restricted Stock Units with respect to any portion of the Restricted Stock Unit considered deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, then the number of Shares withheld or sold on Participant’s behalf shall not exceed an amount equal in value to the Tax-Related Items withholding liability.
7.Rights as Stockholder.  Neither Participant nor any person claiming under or through Participant will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until such Shares will have been deposited into Participant’s brokerage account with the Company’s designated broker.  After such Shares are deposited, Participant will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to voting such Shares and receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares.
8.No Guarantee of Continued Service.  PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF THE RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS PURSUANT TO THE BASE VESTING SCHEDULE IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE 
A-8
225368805 v5 

PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY OR THE EMPLOYER AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THE RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER.  PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND WILL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH PARTICIPANT’S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY OR THE EMPLOYER TO TERMINATE PARTICIPANT’S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.
9.Nature of Grant.  In accepting the Restricted Stock Units, Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that:
(a)the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;
(b)the grant of the Restricted Stock Units is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been granted in the past;
(c)all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Unit or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(d)the Restricted Stock Unit grant and Participant’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to continued service with the Employer, the Company or any Affiliate or be interpreted as forming a service contract with the Employer, the Company or any Affiliate;
(e)Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;
(f)the grant of Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income from and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;
(g)the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Unit, and the income from and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, holiday pay, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments;
(h)unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income from and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service Participant may provide as a director of an Affiliate;
(i)the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(j)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units resulting from Participant’s termination as a Service Provider (for any reason 
A-9
225368805 v5 

whatsoever whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of applicable laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or the terms of Participant’s service agreement, if any); and
(k)the following provisions apply only if Participant is providing services outside the United States:
(i)the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose; and
(ii)Participant acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company, the Employer nor any Affiliate shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Restricted Stock Units or of any amounts due to Participant pursuant to the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.
10.No Advice Regarding Grant.  The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan, or Participant’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares.  Participant should consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.
11.Data Privacy Information and Consent.  By accepting the Restricted Stock Units and indicating consent via the Company’s acceptance procedure, Participant is declaring that he or she agrees with the data processing practices described herein and consents to the collection, processing and use of Data (as defined below) by the Company and the transfer of Data to the recipients mentioned herein, including recipients located in countries which do not adduce an adequate level of protection from a European (or other non-U.S.) data protection law perspective, for the purposes described herein.
(a)Data Collection and Usage.  The Company and the Employer may collect, process and use certain personal information about Participant, including, but not limited to, Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all Restricted Stock Units or any other entitlement to Shares or equivalent benefits awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor (“Data”), for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.  The legal basis, where required, for the processing of Data is Participant’s consent.
(b)Stock Plan Administration Service Providers.  The Company transfers Data to E*Trade Financial Services, Merrill Lynch, and their affiliated companies, independent service providers based in the United States which are assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.  The Company may select a different service provider or additional service providers and share Data with such other provider serving in a similar manner.  Participant may be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, with such agreement being a condition to the ability to participate in the Plan. 
(c)International Data Transfers. The Company and its service providers are based in the United States. Participant’s country or jurisdiction may have different data privacy laws and protections than the United States.  For example, the European Commission has issued a limited adequacy finding with respect to the United States that applies only to the extent companies register for 
A-10
225368805 v5 

the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield program.  The Company's legal basis, where required, for the transfer of Data is Participant’s consent.
(d)Data Retention.  The Company will hold and use the Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Participant’s participation in the Plan, or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and security laws.
(e)Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal.  Participation in the Plan is voluntary and Participant is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis.  If Participant does not consent, or if Participant later seeks to revoke Participant’s consent, Participant’s salary from or employment and career with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing Participant’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant these Restricted Stock Units or other equity awards to Participant or administer or maintain such awards.  
(f)Data Subject Rights.  Participant may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in Participant's jurisdiction.  Depending on where Participant is based, such rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of Data the Company processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect Data, (iii) delete Data, (iv) restrict processing of Data, (v) portability of Data, (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in Participant’s jurisdiction, and/or (vii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data. To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, Participant can contact his or her local human resources representative.
(g)Alternate Basis and Additional Consents.  Finally, Participant understands that the Company may rely on a different basis for the processing or transfer of Data in the future and/or request that Participant provide another data privacy consent.  If applicable, Participant agrees that upon request of the Company or the Employer, Participant will provide an executed acknowledgement or data privacy consent form (or any other agreements or consents) that the Company and/or the Employer may deem necessary to obtain from Participant for the purpose of administering Participant’s participation in the Plan in compliance with the data privacy laws in Participant’s country, either now or in the future.  Participant understands and agrees that he or she will not be able to participate in the Plan if he or she fails to provide any such consent or agreement requested by the Company and/or the Employer.
12.Address for Notices.  Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement will be addressed to the Company, in care of its Stock Plan Administrator at Arlo Technologies, Inc., 2200 Faraday Ave., Suite 150, Carlsbad CA 92008, U.S.A., or at such other address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing.
13.Grant is Not Transferable.  Except to the limited extent provided in Section 6, this grant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby will not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and will not be subject to sale under execution, attachment or similar process.  Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this grant, or any right or privilege conferred hereby, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar process, this grant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby immediately will become null and void.
A-11
225368805 v5 

14.Binding Agreement.  Subject to the limitation on the transferability of this grant contained herein, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
15.Additional Conditions to Issuance of Stock.  If at any time the Company will determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares upon any securities exchange or under any local, state, federal or non-U.S. law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory authority is necessary or desirable as a condition to the issuance of Shares to Participant (or his estate), such issuance will not occur unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval will have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company.  Where the Company determines that the delivery of the payment of any Shares will violate securities laws or other Applicable Laws, the Company will defer delivery until the earliest date at which the Company reasonably anticipates that the delivery of Shares will no longer cause such violation.  The Company will make all reasonable efforts to meet the requirements of any such local, state or federal law or securities exchange and to obtain any such consent or approval of any such governmental authority.
16.Plan Governs.  This Agreement is subject to all terms and provisions of the Plan.  In the event of a conflict between one or more provisions of this Agreement and one or more provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will govern.
17.Committee’s Authority.  The Committee will have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules (including, but not limited to, the determination of whether or not any Restricted Stock Units have vested).  All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee in good faith will be final and binding upon Participant, the Company and all other interested persons.  No member of the Committee will be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Agreement.
18.Electronic Delivery and Acceptance.  The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means.  Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through any on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company.
19.Captions.  Captions provided herein are for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.
20.Agreement Severable.  In the event that any provision in this Agreement will be held invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
21.Language.  Participant acknowledges that he or she is sufficiently proficient in English, or has consulted with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient in English, so as to allow Participant to understand the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  Furthermore, if Participant has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.
A-12
225368805 v5 

22.Modifications to the Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties on the subjects covered.  Participant expressly warrants that he or she is not accepting this Agreement in reliance on any promises, representations, or inducements other than those contained herein.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, the Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the Restricted Stock Units and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, including, but not limited to, any other requirements as may be necessary to comply with Section 409A or to otherwise avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition under Section 409A, and to require Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
23.Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan.  By accepting this Award, Participant expressly warrants that he or she has received an Award of Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, and has received, read and understood a description of the Plan.
