CROWDSTRIKE HOLDINGS, INC.
2019 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
(as amended and restated)

1.Purpose.  The purpose of the Plan is to provide employees of the Company and its Designated Companies with an opportunity to purchase Common Stock through accumulated Contributions.  The Company intends for the Plan to have two components: a Code Section 423 Component (“423 Component”) and a non-Code Section 423 Component (“Non-423 Component”).  The Company’s intention is to have the 423 Component of the Plan qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code.  The provisions of the 423 Component, accordingly, will be construed so as to extend and limit Plan participation in a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis consistent with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code.  In addition, this Plan authorizes the grant of an option to purchase Common Stock under the Non-423 Component that does not qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code; such an option will be granted pursuant to rules, procedures or sub-plans adopted by the Administrator designed to achieve tax, securities laws or other objectives for Eligible Employees and the Company.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the Non-423 Component will operate and be administered in the same manner as the 423 Component.
2.Definitions.
(a)“Administrator” means the Committee.
(b)“Affiliate” means any entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Company.

(d)“Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company.
(e)“Change in Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events:
(i)A change in the ownership of the Company which occurs on the date that any one person (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), or more than one person acting as a group (“Person”), acquires ownership of the stock of the Company that, together with the stock held by such Person, constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of the stock of the Company; provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection, (A) the acquisition of additional stock by any one Person, who is considered to own more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of the stock of the Company will not be considered a Change in Control, (B) if the stockholders of the Company immediately before such change in ownership continue to retain immediately after the change in ownership, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of shares of the Company’s voting stock immediately prior to the change in ownership, the direct or indirect beneficial ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Company or of the ultimate parent entity of the Company, such event will not be considered a Change in Control under this subsection (i) and (C) the acquisition or accumulation of voting power of the Company by a Person due to or in connection with the conversion of shares of Class B common stock into shares of Class A Common Stock or the sale or cancellation of Class B common stock such that such Person holds more than 50% of the total voting power of the Company shall not 
1
    

constitute a Change in Control, unless such Person subsequently acquires ownership of additional stock of the Company that constitutes more than 2% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company in a single transaction or series of related transactions (excluding any acquisition of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B common stock in connection with the exercise or settlement of an Award or an award issued under the CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. Amended and Restated 2011 Stock Incentive Plan or pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan or employee stock purchase plan established by the Company or a Parent or Subsidiary thereof).  For this purpose, indirect beneficial ownership will include, without limitation, an interest resulting from ownership of the voting securities of one or more corporations or other business entities which own the Company, as the case may be, either directly or through one or more subsidiary corporations or other business entities; 
(ii)The consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation or other entity, or the issuance of voting securities in connection with a merger or consolidation of the Company pursuant to applicable stock exchange requirements; provided that immediately following such merger or consolidation the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto do not continue to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity of such merger or consolidation or parent entity thereof) fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power of the Company’s stock (or, if the Company is not the surviving entity of such merger or consolidation, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power of the stock of such surviving entity or parent entity thereof); and provided, further, that a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no Person is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company (not including in the securities beneficially owned by such Person any securities acquired directly from the Company or its Affiliates other than in connection with the acquisition by the Company or its Affiliates of a business) representing fifty percent (50%) or more of either the then-outstanding shares or the combined voting power of the Company’s then-outstanding voting securities shall not be considered a Change in Control; 
(iii)A change in the effective control of the Company which occurs on the date that a majority of members of the Board is replaced during any twelve (12)-month period by Directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board prior to the date of the appointment or election.  For purposes of this subsection (iii), if any Person is considered to be in effective control of the Company, the acquisition of additional control of the Company by the same Person will not be considered a Change in Control; or 
(iv)A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets which occurs on the date that any Person acquires (or has acquired during the twelve (12)-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than fifty percent (50%) of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions; provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection, the following will not constitute a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets: (A) a transfer to an entity that is controlled by the Company’s stockholders immediately after the transfer, or (B) a transfer of assets by the Company to: (1) a stockholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to the Company’s stock, (2) an entity, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company, (3) a Person, that owns, directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of the Company, or (4) an entity, at least fifty percent (50%) of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a Person described in this subsection (iv)(B)(3).  For purposes of this subsection, gross fair market value means the value of the 
2

    

assets of the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets. 
For purposes of this definition, persons will be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase, or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed a Change in Control unless the transaction qualifies as a change in control event within the meaning of Code Section 409A, as it has been and may be amended from time to time, and any proposed or final U.S. Treasury Regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance that has been promulgated or may be promulgated thereunder from time to time.
Further and for the avoidance of doubt, a transaction will not constitute a Change in Control if: (i) its sole purpose is to change the jurisdiction of the Company’s incorporation, or (ii) its sole purpose is to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction.
(f)“Code” means the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Reference to a specific section of the Code or U.S. Treasury Regulation thereunder will include such section or regulation, any valid regulation or other official applicable guidance promulgated under such section, and any comparable provision of any future legislation or regulation amending, supplementing or superseding such section or regulation.
(g)“Committee” means the compensation committee of the Board, unless another committee of the Board is appointed in accordance with Section 15 hereof.  If there is no compensation committee of the Board and the Board does not designate another committee, references herein to the “Committee” shall refer to the Board.

(i)“Company” means CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, or any successor thereto. 
(j)“Compensation” includes an Eligible Employee’s base straight time gross earnings, payments for incentive compensation, bonuses, commissions and payments for overtime and shift premium, but excludes equity compensation and other similar compensation.

(k)“Contributions” means the payroll deductions and other additional payments that the Company may permit to be made by a Participant to fund the exercise of options granted pursuant to the Plan. 
(l)“Data” means certain personal information about a Participant, including, but not limited to, the Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all equity awards or any other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor or details of Contributions, enrollment or other information relating to Offerings under the Plan.

(n)“Designated Company” means any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company that has been designated by the Administrator from time to time in its sole discretion as eligible to participate in the Plan.  For purposes of the 423 Component, only the Company and its Subsidiaries may be Designated Companies; provided, however that at any given time, a Subsidiary that is a Designated Company under the 423 Component will not be a Designated Company under the Non-423 Component.  The Administrator may so designate any Subsidiary or Affiliate or revoke any such designation, at any time and from time to time, either before or after the Plan is approved by the stockholders.
(o)“Director” means a member of the Board.
(p)“Eligible Employee” means any individual who is a common law employee providing services to the Company or a Designated Company and is customarily employed for at least twenty (20) hours per week and more than five (5) months in any calendar year by the Employer, or any lesser number of hours per week and/or number of months in any calendar year established by the Administrator (if required under Applicable Laws) for purposes of any separate Offering or the Non-423 Component.  For purposes of the Plan, the employment relationship will be treated as continuing intact while the individual is on sick leave or other leave of absence that the Employer approves or is legally protected under Applicable Laws.  Where the period of leave exceeds three (3) months and the individual’s right to reemployment is not guaranteed either by statute or by contract, the employment relationship will be deemed to have terminated three (3) months and one (1) day following the commencement of such leave.  The Administrator, in its discretion, from time to time may, prior to an Enrollment Date for all options to be granted on such Enrollment Date in an Offering, determine (for each Offering under the 423 Component, on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis or as otherwise permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.423-2) that the definition of Eligible Employee will or will not include an individual if he or she: (i) has not completed at least two (2) years of service since his or her last hire date (or such lesser period of time as may be determined by the Administrator in its discretion); (ii) customarily works not more than twenty (20) hours per week (or such lesser period of time as may be determined by the Administrator in its discretion); (iii) customarily works not more than five (5) months per calendar year (or such lesser period of time as may be determined by the Administrator in its discretion); (iv) is a highly compensated employee within the meaning of Section 414(q) of the Code; or (v) is a highly compensated employee within the meaning of Section 414(q) of the Code with compensation above a certain level or is an officer or subject to the disclosure requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, provided the exclusion is applied with respect to each Offering under the 423 Component in an identical manner to all highly compensated individuals of the Employer whose Eligible Employees are participating in that Offering under the 423 Component.  Each exclusion will be applied with respect to an Offering in a manner complying with U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.423-2(e)(2)(ii).  Such exclusions may be applied with respect to an Offering under the Non-423 Component without regard to the limitations of Treasury Regulation Section 1.423-2.
(q)“Employer” means the employer of the applicable Eligible Employee(s).
(r)“Enrollment Date” means the first Trading Day of an Offering Period.
(s)“Enrollment Window” has the meaning set forth in Section 5(a).

(u)“Exercise Date” means the last Trading Day of the Purchase Period.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that an Offering Period is terminated prior to its expiration pursuant to Section 21(a), the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine that any Purchase Period also terminating under such Offering Period will terminate without options being exercised on the Exercise Date that otherwise would have occurred on the last Trading Day of such Purchase Period.
(v)“Fair Market Value” means, as of any date, the value of a share of Common Stock determined as follows:
(i)For purposes of the Enrollment Date of the first Offering Period under the Plan, the Fair Market Value will be the initial price to the public as set forth in the final prospectus included within the Registration Statement; or
(ii)For all other purposes, the Fair Market Value will be the closing sales price for Common Stock as quoted on any established stock exchange or national market system (including without limitation the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ Global Select Market, the NASDAQ Global Market or the NASDAQ Capital Market of The NASDAQ Stock Market) on which the Common Stock is listed on the date of determination (or the closing bid, if no sales were reported), as reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the Administrator deems reliable.  If the determination date for the Fair Market Value occurs on a non-Trading Day (i.e., a weekend or holiday), the Fair Market Value will be such price on the immediately preceding Trading Day, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator.  In the absence of an established market for the Common Stock, the Fair Market Value thereof will be determined in good faith by the Administrator.
The determination of fair market value for purposes of tax withholding may be made in the Administrator’s discretion subject to Applicable Laws and is not required to be consistent with the determination of Fair Market Value for other purposes.
(w)“Fiscal Year” means a fiscal year of the Company.
(x)“New Exercise Date” means a new Exercise Date if the Administrator shortens any Offering Period then in progress.
(y)“Offering” means an offer under the 423 Component or Non-423 Component of the Plan of an option that may be exercised during an Offering Period as further described in Section 4.  For purposes of the Plan, the Administrator may designate separate Offerings under the Plan (the terms of which need not be identical) in which Eligible Employees of one or more Employers will participate, even if the dates of the applicable Offering Periods of each such Offering are identical and the provisions of the Plan will separately apply to each Offering.  To the extent permitted by U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.423-2(a)(1), the terms of each Offering need not be identical provided that the terms of the Plan and an Offering together satisfy U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.423-2(a)(2) and (a)(3).  
(z)“Offering Periods” means the periods of approximately twenty-four (24) months during which an option granted pursuant to the Plan may be exercised, commencing on the first Trading Day on or after June 11th and December 11th of each year and terminating on the last Trading Day on or before June 10th and December 10th, approximately twenty-four (24) months later; provided, however, that the first Offering Period under the Plan will commence with the first Trading Day on or after the date on which the 
5

    

Securities and Exchange Commission declares the Company’s Registration Statement effective and will end on the last Trading Day on or before June 10, 2021, and provided, further, that the second Offering Period under the Plan will commence on the first Trading Day on or after December 11, 2019.

3.Eligibility.
(a)First Offering Period.  Any individual who is an Eligible Employee immediately prior to the first Offering Period will be automatically enrolled in the first Offering Period.
6

    

(b)Subsequent Offering Periods.  Any Eligible Employee on a given Enrollment Date subsequent to the first Offering Period will be eligible to participate in the Plan, subject to the requirements of Section 5.  
(c)Non-U.S. Employees.  Eligible Employees who are citizens or residents of a non-U.S. jurisdiction (without regard to whether they also are citizens or residents of the United States or resident aliens (within the meaning of Section 7701(b)(1)(A) of the Code)) may be excluded from participation in the Plan or an Offering if the participation of such Eligible Employees is prohibited under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction or if complying with the laws of the applicable jurisdiction would cause the Plan or an Offering to violate Section 423 of the Code.  In the case of the Non-423 Component, Eligible Employees may be excluded from participation in the Plan or an Offering if the Administrator determines that participation of such Eligible Employees is not advisable or practicable.
(d)Limitations.  Any provisions of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no Eligible Employee will be granted an option under the 423 Component of the Plan (i) to the extent that, immediately after the grant, such Eligible Employee (or any other person whose stock would be attributed to such Eligible Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code) would own capital stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company and/or hold outstanding options to purchase such stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of the capital stock of the Company or of any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, or (ii) to the extent that his or her rights to purchase stock under all employee stock purchase plans (as defined in Section 423 of the Code) of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company accrues at a rate, which exceeds twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) worth of stock (determined at the Fair Market Value of the stock at the time such option is granted) for each calendar year in which such option is outstanding at any time, as determined in accordance with Section 423 of the Code and the regulations thereunder.
4.Offering Periods.  The Plan will be implemented by consecutive, overlapping Offering Periods with a new Offering Period commencing on the first Trading Day on or after June 11th and December 11th each year, or on such other dates as the Administrator will determine; provided, however, that the first Offering Period under the Plan will commence with the first Trading Day on or after the Registration Date and end on the last Trading Day on or before June 10, 2021, and provided, further, that the second Offering Period under the Plan will commence on the first Trading Day on or after December 11, 2019.  The Administrator will have the power to change the duration of Offering Periods (including the commencement dates thereof) with respect to future Offerings without stockholder approval if such change is announced prior to the scheduled beginning of the first Offering Period to be affected thereafter; provided, however, that no Offering Period may last more than twenty-seven (27) months.
5.Participation.  
(a)First Offering Period.  An Eligible Employee as determined in accordance with Section 3 immediately prior to the first Offering Period will be automatically enrolled in the first Offering Period at a Contribution rate equal to fifteen percent (15%) of Compensation. Such Participant will be entitled to continue to participate in the first Offering Period pursuant to Section 3(a) only if such individual submits a subscription agreement authorizing Contributions in a form determined by the Administrator (which may be similar to the form attached hereto as Exhibit A) to the Company’s designated plan administrator (i) no earlier than the effective date of the Form S-8 registration statement with respect to the issuance of Common Stock under this Plan and (ii) no later than ten (10) business days following the effective date of such S-8 registration statement or such date as the Administrator may determine (the “Enrollment Window”). An 
7

    

Eligible Employee’s failure to submit the subscription agreement during the Enrollment Window will result in the automatic termination of such individual’s participation in the first Offering Period.
(b)Subsequent Offering Periods.  An Eligible Employee may participate in the Plan pursuant to Section 3(b) by (i) submitting to the Company’s stock administration office (or its designee) a properly completed subscription agreement (which may be similar to the form attached hereto as Exhibit B) authorizing Contributions in the form provided by the Administrator for such purpose or (ii) following an electronic or other enrollment procedure determined by the Administrator, in either case on or before a date determined by the Administrator prior to an applicable Enrollment Date.
6.Contributions.
(a)At the time a Participant enrolls in the Plan pursuant to Section 5, he or she will elect to have Contributions (in the form of payroll deductions or otherwise, to the extent permitted by the Administrator) made on each pay day during the Offering Period in an amount not exceeding fifteen percent (15%) of the Compensation that he or she receives on the pay day. (For illustrative purposes, should a pay day occur on an Exercise Date, a Participant will have any Contributions made on such day applied to his or her account under the then-current Purchase Period or Offering Period).  The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may permit all Participants in a specified Offering to contribute amounts to the Plan through payment by cash, check or other means set forth in the subscription agreement prior to each Exercise Date of each Purchase Period.  A Participant’s subscription agreement will remain in effect for successive Offering Periods unless terminated as provided in Section 11 hereof.
(b)In the event Contributions are made in the form of payroll deductions, such payroll deductions for a Participant will commence on the first pay day following the Enrollment Date and will end on the last pay day on or prior to the last Exercise Date of such Offering Period to which such authorization is applicable, unless sooner terminated by the Participant as provided in Section 11 hereof; provided, however, that for the first Offering Period, payroll deductions will commence on the first pay day on or following the end of the Enrollment Window.
(c)All Contributions made for a Participant will be credited to his or her account under the Plan and Contributions will be made in whole percentages of his or her Compensation only.  A Participant may not make any additional payments into such account.
(d)A Participant may discontinue his or her participation in the Plan as provided under Section 11.  Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, during a Purchase Period, a Participant may not increase the rate of his or her Contributions and may only decrease the rate of his or her Contributions one (1) time and such decrease must be to a Contribution rate between one percent (1%) and fifteen percent (15%). Subject to Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(d) hereof, after a Participant elects to decrease his or her rate of Contributions, Contributions will continue at the decreased rate at the beginning of any subsequent Purchase Periods and Offering Periods, unless terminated by the Participant as provided in Section 11. A Participant may increase their Contribution rate at the beginning of a new Purchase Period or Offering Period by following the subscription change procedures described in Section 6(f) below.
(e)Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(d), a Participant may decrease his or her Contribution rate to zero percent (0%) at any time during a Purchase Period. If a Participant decreases the rate of his or her Contributions to zero percent (0%) however, he or she will be withdrawn from that Offering Period and all prior Contributions made during such Offering Period will be refunded to the Participant.  
8

    

(f)Any change to a Participant’s Contribution rate as described in Sections 6(d) and 6(e) requires the Participant (i) properly completing and submitting to the Company’s stock administration office (or its designee) a new subscription agreement authorizing the change in Contribution rate in the form provided by the Administrator for such purpose or (ii) following an electronic or other procedure prescribed by the Administrator, in either case on or before a date determined by the Administrator prior to an applicable Exercise Date.  If a Participant has not followed such procedures to change the rate of Contributions, the rate of his or her Contributions will continue at the originally elected rate throughout the Purchase Period and future Offering Periods and Purchase Periods (unless the Participant’s participation is terminated as provided in Sections 11 or 12).  The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, amend the nature and/or number of Contribution rate changes that may be made by Participants during any Offering Period or Purchase Period and may establish other conditions or limitations as it deems appropriate for Plan administration.  Any change in the rate of Contributions made pursuant to this Section 6(f) will be effective as of the first (1st) full payroll period following five (5) business days after the date on which the change is made by the Participant (unless the Administrator, in its sole discretion, elects to process a given change in payroll deduction rate more quickly).
(g)Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in the Plan, the Administrator may allow Participants to make Contributions via cash contributions instead of payroll deductions if (i) payroll deductions are prohibited or otherwise problematic under Applicable Law, (ii) the Administrator determines that cash contributions are permissible under Section 423 of the Code or (iii) the Participants are participating in the Non-423 Component. Any reference to “payroll deductions” in this section (or any other section of the Plan) shall similarly cover contributions by other means made pursuant to this Section 6(g).
(h)At the time the option is exercised, in whole or in part, or at the time some or all of the Common Stock issued under the Plan is disposed of (or any other time that a taxable event related to the Plan occurs), the Participant must make adequate provision for the Company’s or Employer’s federal, state, local or any other tax liability payable to any authority including taxes imposed by jurisdictions outside of the U.S., national insurance, social security or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise upon the exercise of the option or the disposition of the Common Stock (or any other time that a taxable event related to the Plan occurs).  At any time, the Company or the Employer may, but will not be obligated to, withhold from the Participant’s compensation the amount necessary for the Company or the Employer to meet applicable withholding obligations, including any withholding required to make available to the Company or the Employer any tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early disposition of Common Stock by the Eligible Employee.  In addition, the Company or the Employer may, but will not be obligated to, withhold from the proceeds of the sale of Common Stock or any other method of withholding the Company or the Employer deems appropriate to the extent permitted by U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.423-2(f).  The Company shall not be required to issue any Common Stock until such obligations are satisfied.
7.Grant of Option.  On the Enrollment Date of each Offering Period, each Eligible Employee participating in such Offering Period will be granted an option to purchase on each Exercise Date during such Offering Period (at the applicable Purchase Price) up to a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing such Eligible Employee’s Contributions accumulated prior to such Exercise Date and retained in the Eligible Employee’s account as of the Exercise Date by the applicable Purchase Price; provided that in no event will an Eligible Employee be permitted to purchase during each Purchase Period more than 2,500 shares of Common Stock (subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 20) and provided further that such purchase will be subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 3(d) and 14.  The Eligible Employee may accept the grant of such option (i) with respect to the first Offering Period by submitting a properly completed subscription agreement in accordance with the requirements of Section 5(a) on or before the last day of the Enrollment Window, and (ii) with respect to any subsequent Offering Period under the Plan, by electing to 
9

    

participate in the Plan in accordance with the requirements of Section 5(b).  The Administrator may, for future Offering Periods, increase or decrease, in its absolute discretion, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that an Eligible Employee may purchase during each Purchase Period.  Exercise of the option will occur as provided in Section 8, unless the Participant has withdrawn pursuant to Section 11.  The option will expire on the last day of the Offering Period.
8.Exercise of Option.
(a)Unless a Participant withdraws from the Plan as provided in Section 11, his or her option for the purchase of shares of Common Stock will be exercised automatically on each Exercise Date, and the maximum number of full shares subject to the option will be purchased for such Participant at the applicable Purchase Price with the accumulated Contributions from his or her account.  No fractional shares of Common Stock will be purchased; any Contributions accumulated in a Participant’s account, which are not sufficient to purchase a full share as of the Exercise Date will be returned to the Participant.  Any other funds left over in a Participant’s account after the Exercise Date will be returned to the Participant.  During a Participant’s lifetime, a Participant’s option to purchase shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or her.
(b)If the Administrator determines that, on a given Exercise Date, the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which options are to be exercised may exceed (i) the number of shares of Common Stock that were available for sale under the Plan on the Enrollment Date of the applicable Offering Period, or (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock available for sale under the Plan on such Exercise Date, the Administrator may in its sole discretion (x) provide that the Company will make a pro rata allocation of the shares of Common Stock available for purchase on such Enrollment Date or Exercise Date, as applicable, in as uniform a manner as will be practicable and as it will determine in its sole discretion to be equitable among all Participants exercising options to purchase Common Stock on such Exercise Date, and continue all Offering Periods then in effect or (y) provide that the Company will make a pro rata allocation of the shares of Common Stock available for purchase on such Enrollment Date or Exercise Date, as applicable, in as uniform a manner as will be practicable and as it will determine in its sole discretion to be equitable among all participants exercising options to purchase Common Stock on such Exercise Date, and terminate any or all Offering Periods then in effect pursuant to Section 21.  The Company may make a pro rata allocation of the shares available on the Enrollment Date of any applicable Offering Period pursuant to the preceding sentence, notwithstanding any authorization of additional shares for issuance under the Plan by the Company’s stockholders subsequent to such Enrollment Date.
9.Automatic Transfer to Low Price Offering Period.  To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, if the Fair Market Value on any Exercise Date in an Offering Period is lower than the Fair Market Value on the Enrollment Date of such Offering Period, then all Participants in such Offering Period automatically will be withdrawn from such Offering Period immediately after the exercise of their option on such Exercise Date and automatically re-enrolled in the immediately following Offering Period as of the first day thereof.
10.Delivery.  As soon as reasonably practicable after each Exercise Date on which a purchase of shares of Common Stock occurs, the Company will arrange the delivery to each Participant of the shares purchased upon exercise of his or her option in a form determined by the Administrator (in its sole discretion) and pursuant to rules established by the Administrator.  The Company may permit or require that shares be deposited directly with a Designated Broker, and the Company may utilize electronic or automated methods of share transfer.  The Company may require that shares be retained with such Designated Broker for a designated period of time and/or may establish other procedures to permit tracking of disqualifying dispositions of such shares.  No Participant will have any voting, dividend, or other stockholder rights with 
10

    

respect to shares of Common Stock subject to any option granted under the Plan until such shares have been purchased and delivered to the Participant as provided in this Section 10.
11.Withdrawal.
(a)A Participant may withdraw all but not less than all the Contributions credited to his or her account and not yet used to exercise his or her option under the Plan at any time by (i) submitting to the Company’s stock administration office (or its designee) a written notice of withdrawal in the form determined by the Administrator for such purpose (which may be similar to the form attached hereto as Exhibit C), or (ii) following an electronic or other withdrawal procedure determined by the Administrator.  The Administrator may set forth a deadline of when a withdrawal must occur to be effective prior to a given Exercise Date in accordance with policies it may approve from time to time.  All of the Participant’s Contributions credited to his or her account will be paid to such Participant promptly after receipt of notice of withdrawal and such Participant’s option for the Offering Period will be automatically terminated, and no further Contributions for the purchase of shares will be made for such Offering Period. If a Participant withdraws from an Offering Period, Contributions will not resume at the beginning of the succeeding Offering Period, unless the Participant re-enrolls in the Plan in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.
(b)A Participant’s withdrawal from an Offering Period will not have any effect on his or her eligibility to participate in any similar plan that may hereafter be adopted by the Company or in succeeding Offering Periods that commence after the termination of the Offering Period from which the Participant withdraws. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may impose limits on the number of withdrawals and re-enrollments a Participant may engage in.
12.Termination of Employment.  Upon a Participant’s ceasing to be an Eligible Employee, for any reason, he or she will be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan and the Contributions credited to such Participant’s account during the Offering Period but not yet used to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Plan will be returned to such Participant or, in the case of his or her death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under Section 16, and such Participant’s option will be automatically terminated.  Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator in a manner that, with respect to an Offering under the 423 Component, is permitted by, and compliant with, Section 423 of the Code, a Participant whose employment transfers between entities through a termination with an immediate rehire (with no break in service) by the Company or a Designated Company shall not be treated as terminated under the Plan; however, no Participant shall be deemed to switch from an Offering under the Non-423 Component to an Offering under the 423 Component or vice versa unless (and then only to the extent) such switch would not cause the 423 Component or any Option thereunder to fail to comply with Section 423 of the Code.  The Administrator may establish different and/or additional rules governing transfers between separate Offerings within the 423 Component and between Offerings under the 423 Component and Offerings under the Non-423 Component. 
13.Interest.  No interest will accrue on the Contributions of a participant in the Plan, except as may be required by Applicable Law, as determined by the Company, and if so required by the laws of a particular jurisdiction, will apply to all Participants in the relevant Offering under the 423 Component, except to the extent otherwise permitted by U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.423-2(f).
14.Stock.
(a)Subject to adjustment upon changes in capitalization of the Company as provided in Section 20 hereof, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that will be made available for sale under the Plan will be 3,500,000 shares of Common Stock.  The number of shares of Common Stock 
11

    

available for issuance under the Plan will be increased on the first day of each Fiscal Year beginning with the 2020 Fiscal Year equal to the least of (i) one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B common stock on the last day of the immediately preceding Fiscal Year, (ii) 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment upon changes in capitalization of the Company as provided in Section 20 hereof) or (iii) an amount determined by the Administrator.
(b)Until the shares of Common Stock are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), a Participant will have only the rights of an unsecured creditor with respect to such shares, and no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder will exist with respect to such shares.
(c)Shares of Common Stock to be delivered to a Participant under the Plan will be registered in the name of the Participant or in the name of the Participant and his or her spouse.
15.Administration.  The Plan will be administered by the Committee, which Committee will be constituted to comply with Applicable Laws.  The Administrator will have full and exclusive discretionary authority to construe, interpret and apply the terms of the Plan, to delegate (to the extent permitted by applicable law) some or all of its authority under the Plan to one or more officers of the Company and to one or more committees of the Board (which may consist of one or more directors) and delegate ministerial duties to any of the Company’s employees, to designate separate Offerings under the Plan, to designate Subsidiaries and Affiliates of the Company as participating in the 423 Component or Non-423 Component, to determine eligibility, to adjudicate all disputed claims filed under the Plan and to establish such procedures that it deems necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan (including, without limitation, to adopt such procedures, sub-plans and special rules as are necessary or appropriate to permit the participation in the Plan by employees who are foreign nationals or employed outside the U.S., the terms of which sub-plans may take precedence over other provisions of this Plan, with the exception of Section 14(a) hereof, but unless otherwise superseded by the terms of such sub-plan, the provisions of this Plan will govern the operation of such sub-plan).  Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the Eligible Employees eligible to participate in each sub-plan will participate in a separate Offering or in the Non-423 Component, unless such designation would cause the 423 Component to violate the requirements of Section 423 of the Code.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator is specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures regarding eligibility to participate, the definition of Compensation, handling of Contributions, making of Contributions to the Plan (including, without limitation, in forms other than payroll deductions), establishment of bank or trust accounts to hold Contributions, payment of interest, conversion of local currency, obligations to pay payroll tax, determination of beneficiary designation requirements, withholding procedures and handling of stock certificates that vary with applicable local requirements.  The Administrator also is authorized to determine that, to the extent permitted by U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.423-2(f), the terms of an option granted under the Plan or an Offering to citizens or residents of a non-U.S. jurisdiction will be less favorable than the terms of options granted under the Plan or the same Offering to employees resident solely in the U.S.  Every finding, decision, and determination made by the Administrator will, to the full extent permitted by law, be final and binding upon all parties.  
16.Designation of Beneficiary.
(a)If permitted by the Administrator, a Participant may file a designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any shares of Common Stock and cash, if any, from the Participant’s account under the Plan in the event of such Participant’s death subsequent to an Exercise Date on which the option is exercised but prior to delivery to such Participant of such shares and cash.  In addition, if permitted by the Administrator, a Participant may file a designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any cash from the 
12

    

Participant’s account under the Plan in the event of such Participant’s death prior to exercise of the option.  If a Participant is married and the designated beneficiary is not the spouse, spousal consent will be required for such designation to be effective.
(b)Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the Participant at any time by notice in a form determined by the Administrator.  In the event of the death of a Participant and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is living at the time of such Participant’s death, the Company will deliver such shares and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate of the Participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver such shares and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or relatives of the Participant, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate.
(c)All beneficiary designations will be in such form and manner as the Administrator may designate from time to time.  Notwithstanding Sections 16(a) and 16(b) above, the Company and/or the Administrator may decide not to permit such designations by Participants in non-U.S. jurisdictions to the extent permitted by U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.423-2(f).  
17.Transferability.  Neither Contributions credited to a Participant’s account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive shares of Common Stock under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or as provided in Section 16) by the Participant.  Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition will be without effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw funds from an Offering Period in accordance with Section 11 hereof.
18.Use of Funds.  The Company may use all Contributions received or held by it under the Plan for any corporate purpose, and the Company will not be obligated to segregate such Contributions except under Offerings or for Participants in the Non-423 Component for which Applicable Laws require that Contributions to the Plan by Participants be segregated from the Company’s general corporate funds and/or deposited with an independent third party.  Until shares of Common Stock are issued, Participants will have only the rights of an unsecured creditor with respect to such shares.
19.Reports.  Individual accounts will be maintained for each Participant in the Plan.  Statements of account will be given to participating Eligible Employees at least annually, which statements will set forth the amounts of Contributions, the Purchase Price, the number of shares of Common Stock purchased and the remaining cash balance, if any.
20.Adjustments, Dissolution, Liquidation, Merger, or Change in Control.
(a)Adjustments.  In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Common Stock occurs, the Administrator, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, will, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust the number and class of Common Stock that may be delivered under the Plan, the Purchase Price per share and the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each option under the Plan that has not yet been exercised, and the numerical limits of Sections 7 and 14.
13

    

(b)Dissolution or Liquidation.  In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any Offering Period then in progress will be shortened by setting a New Exercise Date, and will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed dissolution or liquidation, unless provided otherwise by the Administrator.  The New Exercise Date will be before the date of the Company’s proposed dissolution or liquidation.  The Administrator will notify each Participant in writing or electronically, prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the Participant’s option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the Participant’s option will be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the Participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 11 hereof.  
(c)Merger or Change in Control.  In the event of a merger or Change in Control, each outstanding option will be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation.  In the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the option, the Offering Period with respect to which such option relates will be shortened by setting a New Exercise Date on which such Offering Period will end.  The New Exercise Date will occur before the date of the Company’s proposed merger or Change in Control.  The Administrator will notify each Participant in writing or electronically prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the Participant’s option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the Participant’s option will be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the Participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 11 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a merger or Change in Control, the Administrator may elect to terminate all outstanding Offering Periods in accordance with Section 21. 
21.Amendment or Termination.
(a)The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan, or any part thereof, at any time and for any reason.  If the Plan is terminated, the Administrator, in its discretion, may elect to terminate all outstanding Offering Periods either immediately or upon completion of the purchase of shares of Common Stock on the next Exercise Date (which may be sooner than originally scheduled, if determined by the Administrator in its discretion), or may elect to permit Offering Periods to expire in accordance with their terms (and subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 20).  If the Offering Periods are terminated prior to expiration, all amounts then credited to Participants’ accounts that have not been used to purchase shares of Common Stock will be returned to the Participants (without interest thereon, except as otherwise required under Applicable Laws, as further set forth in Section 13 hereof) as soon as administratively practicable.
(b)Without stockholder consent and without limiting Section 21(a), the Administrator will be entitled to change the Offering Periods or Purchase Periods, designate separate Offerings, limit the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount withheld during an Offering Period, establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars, permit Contributions in excess of the amount designated by a Participant in order to adjust for delays or mistakes in the Company’s processing of properly completed Contribution elections, establish reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Common Stock for each Participant properly correspond with Contribution amounts, and establish such other limitations or procedures as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion advisable that are consistent with the Plan.
14

    

(c)In the event the Administrator determines that the ongoing operation of the Plan may result in unfavorable financial accounting consequences, the Administrator may, in its discretion and, to the extent necessary or desirable, modify, amend or terminate the Plan to reduce or eliminate such accounting consequence including, but not limited to:
(i)amending the Plan to conform with the safe harbor definition under the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (or any successor thereto), including with respect to an Offering Period underway at the time;
(ii)altering the Purchase Price for any Offering Period or Purchase Period including an Offering Period or Purchase Period underway at the time of the change in Purchase Price;
(iii)shortening any Offering Period or Purchase Period by setting a New Exercise Date, including an Offering Period or Purchase Period underway at the time of the Administrator action;
(iv)reducing the maximum percentage of Compensation a Participant may elect to set aside as Contributions; and
(v)reducing the maximum number of shares of Common Stock a Participant may purchase during any Offering Period or Purchase Period.
Such modifications or amendments will not require stockholder approval or the consent of any Participants.
22.Notices.  All notices or other communications by a Participant to the Company under or in connection with the Plan will be deemed to have been duly given when received in the form and manner specified by the Company at the location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof.
23.Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.  Shares of Common Stock will not be issued with respect to an option unless the exercise of such option and the issuance and delivery of such shares pursuant thereto will comply with all applicable provisions of law, domestic or foreign, including, without limitation, the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the shares may then be listed, and will be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.
As a condition to the exercise of an option, the Company may require the person exercising such option to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any of the aforementioned applicable provisions of law.
24.Code Section 409A.  The 423 Component of the Plan is exempt from the application of Code Section 409A and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so be exempt from Code Section 409A.  In furtherance of the foregoing and notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, if the Administrator determines that an option granted under the Plan may be subject to Code Section 409A or that any provision in the Plan would cause an option under the Plan to be subject to Code Section 409A, the Administrator may amend the terms of the Plan and/or of an outstanding option granted under the Plan, or take such other action the Administrator determines is necessary or appropriate, in each case, without the Participant’s consent, to exempt any outstanding option or future option that may be granted under the Plan from or to allow any such options to comply with Code Section 409A, but only to the extent any such amendments or action by the Administrator would not violate Code Section 409A.  Notwithstanding the 
15

    

foregoing, the Company and any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate will have no liability to a Participant or any other party if the option to purchase Common Stock under the Plan that is intended to be exempt from or compliant with Code Section 409A is not so exempt or compliant or for any action taken by the Administrator with respect thereto.  The Company makes no representation that the option to purchase Common Stock under the Plan is compliant with Code Section 409A.
25.Term of Plan.  The Plan will become effective upon the later to occur of (i) its adoption by the Board or (ii) the business day immediately prior to the Registration Date.  It will continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years, unless sooner terminated under Section 21.
26.Stockholder Approval.  The Plan will be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board.  Such stockholder approval will be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Laws.
27.Governing Law.  The Plan will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware (except its choice-of-law provisions).
28.No Right to Employment.  Participation in the Plan by a Participant will not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained as an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company, as applicable.  Further, the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company may dismiss a Participant from employment at any time, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan. 
29.Severability.  If any provision of the Plan is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason in any jurisdiction or as to any Participant, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan will be construed and enforced as to such jurisdiction or Participant as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had not been included.
30.Compliance with Applicable Laws.  The terms of this Plan are intended to comply with all Applicable Laws and will be construed accordingly.
31.Data Protection.
(a)Personal Data Processing. By participating in the Plan, the Participant understands and acknowledges that it is necessary for the Company, Parent and any of its Subsidiaries and affiliates to collect, use, disclose, hold, transfer and otherwise process certain personal information about the Participant, including, but not limited to, the Participant’s Data, or other personal information as described in a subscription agreement or any other materials or as otherwise provided to the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or affiliate for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.  Any such processing will be carried out in accordance with the Company’s legitimate interest in administering the Plan and only to the extent permitted by and in full compliance with any applicable data protection laws and regulations. A Participant’s failure or refusal to provide or update such Participant’s Data (or to agree to the terms and conditions of the Plan) may result in the Company being unable to administer the Plan in respect of such Participant. A Participant’s Data will be retained by the Company for as long as such Participant participates in the Plan and/or holds shares in the Company, and thereafter, to the extent necessary to fulfill lawful purposes or as long as required by applicable law, which is generally seven (7) years. These purposes include:
(i)administering and maintaining Participant records;
16

    

(ii)providing information to the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or affiliate, trustees of any employee benefit trust, registrars, brokers or third-party administrators of the Plan;

The Stock Plan Administrator may open an account for a Participant to receive and trade shares. A Participant may be asked to acknowledge, or agree to, separate terms and data processing practices with the Stock Plan Administrator. In the future, the Company may select a different service provider or additional service providers and share Data with such other provider(s) serving the Company in a similar manner.
(c)International Transfer. A Participant’s Data may be transferred from such Participant’s country to other jurisdictions, including the United States. The Participant understands and acknowledges that such jurisdictions might have enacted data privacy laws that are less protective or otherwise different from those applicable in the Participant’s country of residence. The Company shall take reasonable steps to ensure that the Participant’s Data is legally transferred and continues to be adequately protected and securely held. If the Participant’s Data is subject to the data protection laws of the European Economic Area, including the United Kingdom (the “EEA”), the Company shall rely upon an adequate mechanism for the international transfer and subsequent onward transfers of personal data. The Company is certified to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Program.

Subject to the conditions set out in the applicable law and depending on where the Participant is based, such rights may include the right to (i) request access to or copies of Data processed by the Company, (ii) rectification of incorrect Data, (iii) deletion of Data, (iv) restrictions on the processing of Data, (v) object to the processing of Data for legitimate interests, (vi) portability of Data, (vii) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Participant’s jurisdiction, and/or (viii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Participant’s Data.

ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Capitalized terms used but not defined in these Additional Terms and Conditions shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan and/or the Global Subscription Agreement.

1.Responsibility for Taxes.  
1.Employee acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, Employee’s employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Employee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Employee (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains Employee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Employer.  Employee 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 Plan, including, but not limited to, the grant of the option to purchase shares of Common Stock, the purchase of shares of Common Stock, the issuance or disposition of shares of Common Stock purchased under the Plan or the receipt of any dividends and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the option or any aspect of the Plan to reduce or eliminate Employee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if Employee is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, Employee 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.
2.Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Employee agrees to make arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, Employee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to any Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (i) withholding from Employee’s wages or other cash compensation payable to Employee by the Company and/or the Employer, (ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock under the Plan, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Employee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent), (iii) withholding from shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon purchase, or (iv) any other method determined by the Company and compliant with applicable law.  
A-3

    

3.The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering statutory withholding amounts or other withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates in Employee’s jurisdiction(s), in which case Employee may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in shares of Common Stock.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Common Stock, for tax purposes, Employee will be deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the purchase, notwithstanding that a number of shares of Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of satisfying the Tax-Related Items. 
4.Finally, Employee agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Employee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  The Company may refuse to purchase or deliver the shares of Common Stock or the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock if Employee fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
2.Nature of Grant.  By enrolling and participating in the Plan, Employee acknowledges, understands and agrees that:
1.the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company and is discretionary in nature;
2.the grant of the option to purchase shares of Common Stock is exceptional, voluntary and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future options to purchase shares of Common Stock or benefits in lieu of options to purchase shares of Common Stock, even if options to purchase shares of Common Stock have been granted in the past; 
3.all decisions with respect to future grants of options to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Plan or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

12.for purposes of participation in the Plan, Employee’s status as an Eligible Employee will be considered terminated as of the date Employee is no longer actively providing services to the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary or Affiliate (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of labor laws in the jurisdiction where Employee is employed or the terms of Employee’s employment agreement, if any), and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Subscription Agreement or determined by the Company, Employee’s option to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Plan will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., Employee’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 Employee is employed or the terms of Employee’s employment agreement, if any); the Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when Employee is no longer actively providing services for purposes of the Plan (including whether Employee may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence); and

3.No Advice Regarding Grant.  The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Employee’s participation in the Plan or the purchase or sale of the shares of Common Stock.  Employee should consult his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.
4.Data Protection. 
1.Data Processing. By participating in the Plan, Employee understands and acknowledges that it is necessary for the Company, the Employer and any Subsidiary or Affiliate to collect, use, disclose, hold, transfer and otherwise process certain personal information about Employee as described in Section 31 of the Plan. This personal data (hereinafter, “Data”) includes, but is not limited to, Employee’s name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of Common Stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all options to purchase shares of Common Stock or any other entitlement to shares of Common Stock awarded, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in Employee’s favor, which the Company receives from Employee or the Employer. This may include the international transfer of Employee’s Data to a jurisdiction that might have enacted data privacy laws that are less protective or otherwise different from those applicable in the Employee’s country of residence.
2.Necessary Disclosure of Data.  Employee understands that providing the Company with Data is necessary for performance of the Subscription Agreement and that Employee’s refusal to provide the Data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and legitimate interests and may affect Employee’s ability to participate in the Plan.
3.Data Processing and Transfer Consent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Employee is located in a jurisdiction for which the lawful bases for processing and transferring personal data described in the Plan are not recognized, then, to the extent applicable, Employee hereby unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of his or her Data, as described above and in any other grant materials, by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and any Subsidiary or Affiliate for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Employee’s participation in the Plan. Employee understands that he or she may, at any time, refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing his or her human resources representative.  If Employee does not consent or later seeks to revoke his or her consent, Employee’s employment status or service with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be able to grant options to purchase shares 
A-6

    

of Common Stock to Employee under the Plan or administer or maintain such options.  Therefore, Employee understands that refusing or withdrawing consent may affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan.  For more information on the consequences of refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Employee should contact his or her local human resources representative.
5.Governing Law and Venue.  This Subscription Agreement and the option to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Plan will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof.  For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises under the Plan or this Subscription Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the State of Delaware, and agree that such litigation will be conducted in any United States federal court located in the State of Delaware or any other state court in the State of Delaware, and no other courts. 
6.Language.  Employee acknowledges that he or she is proficient in the English language, or has consulted with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient in English, so as to allow Employee to understand the terms and conditions of this Subscription Agreement.  If Employee has received this Subscription Agreement or any other document related to the option to purchase shares of Common Stock or 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.
7.Electronic Delivery and Participation.  The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means.  Employee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an online or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company, now or in the future.
8.Severability.  The provisions of this Subscription Agreement are severable, and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.
9.Country Addendum.  Employee’s participation in the Plan shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in the Country Addendum attached hereto for Employee’s country.  Moreover, if Employee relocates to one of the countries included in the Country Addendum, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to Employee, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons.  The Country Addendum constitutes part of this Subscription Agreement.
10.Termination or Modification of the Plan; Imposition of Other Requirements.  The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan, or any part thereof, at any time and for any reason.  Employee agrees to be bound by such amendment, suspension or termination regardless of whether notice is given to Employee of such event, subject in any case to Employee’s right to timely withdraw from the Plan in accordance with 
A-7

    

the Plan withdrawal procedures then in effect.  In addition, the Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on Employee’s participation in the Plan and on any shares of Common Stock purchased under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require Employee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
11.Waiver.  Employee acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Subscription Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by Employee or any other participant.
12.Insider Trading Restrictions / Market Abuse Laws.  Employee may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws in applicable jurisdictions, including, but not limited to, the United States and Employee’s country, the broker’s country, or the country in which the shares of Common Stock are listed (if different), which may affect his or her ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of shares of Common Stock or rights to shares of Common Stock or rights linked to the value of shares of Common Stock during such times as Employee is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws or regulations in applicable jurisdictions).  Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy.  Employee acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions and that Employee should consult his or her personal advisor on this matter.
13.Foreign Asset/Account, Exchange Control and Tax Requirements.  Employee acknowledges that, depending on his or her country, there may be certain foreign asset and/or account reporting requirements or exchange control restrictions which may affect Employee’s ability to acquire or hold shares of Common Stock or cash received from participating in the Plan (including proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock and the receipt of any dividends paid on shares of Common Stock) in, to and/or from a brokerage or bank account or legal entity outside Employee’s country.  Employee may be required to report such accounts, assets or related transactions to the tax or other authorities in Employee’s country.  Employee also may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of participating in the Plan to Employee’s country through a designated bank or broker and/or within a certain time after receipt.  Employee acknowledges that he or she is responsible for ensuring compliance with any applicable foreign asset/account, exchange control and tax reporting requirements and should consult his or her personal legal and tax advisors on this matter.

ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Capitalized terms used but not defined in these Additional Terms and Conditions shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan and/or the Global Subscription Agreement.

1.Responsibility for Taxes.  
(a)Employee acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, Employee’s employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Employee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Employee (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains Employee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Employer.  Employee 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 Plan, including, but not limited to, the grant of the option to purchase shares of Common Stock, the purchase of shares of Common Stock, the issuance or disposition of shares of Common Stock purchased under the Plan or the receipt of any dividends and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the option or any aspect of the Plan to reduce or eliminate Employee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if Employee is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, Employee 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.
(b)Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Employee agrees to make arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, Employee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to any Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (i) withholding from Employee’s wages or other cash compensation payable to Employee by the Company and/or the Employer, (ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock under the Plan, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Employee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent), (iii) withholding from shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon purchase, or (iv) any other method determined by the Company and compliant with applicable law.  
(c)The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering statutory withholding amounts or other withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates in Employee’s jurisdiction(s), in which case Employee may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in shares of Common Stock.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Common Stock, for tax purposes, Employee will be deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the purchase, notwithstanding that a number of shares of Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of satisfying the Tax-Related Items. 
B-3

    

(d)Finally, Employee agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Employee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  The Company may refuse to purchase or deliver the shares of Common Stock or the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock if Employee fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

(c)all decisions with respect to future grants of options to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Plan or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(d)the option to purchase shares of Common Stock and Employee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming or amending an employment or service contract with the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary or Affiliate and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company or the Employer to terminate Employee’s employment relationship (if any); 
(e)Employee is voluntarily participating in the Plan; 
(f)the option to purchase shares of Common Stock and any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, and the income from and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(h)unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the option to purchase shares of Common Stock and the shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, and the income from and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service Employee may provide as a director of any Subsidiary or Affiliate;

(i)the future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(j)the value of such shares of Common Stock purchased under the Plan may increase or decrease in the future, even below the Purchase Price; 
(k)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the option to purchase shares of Common Stock resulting from termination of Employee’s status as an Eligible Employee (regardless of the reason for the termination and whether or not the termination is later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where Employee is employed or the terms of Employee’s employment agreement, if any);

(b)Necessary Disclosure of Data.  Employee understands that providing the Company with Data is necessary for performance of the Subscription Agreement and that Employee’s refusal to provide the Data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and legitimate interests and may affect Employee’s ability to participate in the Plan.
(c)Data Processing and Transfer Consent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Employee is located in a jurisdiction for which the lawful bases for processing and transferring personal data described in the Plan are not recognized, then, to the extent applicable, Employee hereby unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of his or her Data, as described above and in any other grant materials, by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and any Subsidiary or Affiliate for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Employee’s participation in the Plan.

Exhibit 10.3

(iv)accelerated vesting of the portion of Executive’s then-outstanding Equity Awards that otherwise would have vested during the 12-month period immediately following the Termination Date (assuming the Non-Change in Control Termination had not occurred), subject to, in the case of any Equity Awards subject to any performance condition(s) for which the applicable performance period has not yet been completed as of the Termination Date, achievement of the applicable performance conditions, determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board based on actual performance as of the end of the applicable performance period; provided that this Section 2(a)(iv) shall not apply if the applicable award agreement relating to the Equity Award expressly states that the acceleration provided for under this Agreement does not apply.
(b)The amounts set forth in Section 2(a)(i) and (ii) shall be paid in a lump sum as soon as practicable following the Release Effective Date; provided, however, that (x) in no event shall such amount be paid later than March 15 of the year following the year of the Non-Change in Control Termination and (y) if the period during which the Executive may execute the Release begins in one calendar year and ends in the next calendar year, then the payments will be made in the second calendar year.

(iv) any Prior Earned Bonus; and
(v)full acceleration of all of the Executive’s outstanding Equity Awards (to the extent they were not already accelerated in connection with the Change in Control), with performance-based awards being deemed earned at target, in each case unless the applicable award agreement relating to the Equity Award expressly states that the acceleration provided for under this Agreement does not apply. 
(b)The amounts set forth in Sections 3(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) shall be paid in a lump sum as soon as practicable following the Release Effective Date; provided, however, that (x) in no event shall such amount be paid later than March 15 of the year 
5

Exhibit 10.3

following the year of the Change in Control Related Termination and (y) if the period during which the Executive may execute the Release begins in one calendar year and ends in the next calendar year, then the payments will be made in the second calendar year.
4.Requirement of Release and Waiver and Compliance with Covenants.  In order to be eligible to receive any of the Severance Benefits or CIC Severance Benefits, as applicable, the Executive must: (a) sign and deliver to the Company, within the time set by the Company, an effective Release in a form provided by the Company (and not revoke the Release following delivery of the Release to the Company, if revocation is permitted); and (b) comply, and continue to comply, with the terms of the Release and of any non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disparagement, confidentiality, or other restrictive covenant obligation owed to any member of the Company Group, for the applicable duration of each such covenant. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of the Executive’s breach of the terms of any restrictive covenant obligation to any member of the Company Group, including under the Employment Agreement, the Executive shall not be entitled to any further payments or benefits under this Agreement, and the Executive may (in the discretion of the Company) be obligated to repay any Severance Benefits or CIC Severance Benefits previously paid under this Agreement.  
5.Calculation of Severance Payments and Benefits.
(a)Severance Benefits and CIC Severance Benefits are determined based on the Executive’s position as of the Executive’s Termination Date, as determined in accordance with Sections 2 and 3, and are subject to withholding of applicable federal, state and/or local taxes as required by law. 
(b)The Company shall have the discretion, from time to time and on a case-by-case basis, to provide any additional benefits, whether under this Agreement or any other plan or arrangement, as it deems necessary or appropriate. 
6.Non-Duplication of Benefits; Survival of Other Benefits. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Agreement to the contrary, if the Executive is entitled to any severance, change in control or similar benefits outside of the Agreement by operation of applicable law or under any other Company Group-sponsored plan, policy, contract, or arrangement, the Executive’s benefits and payments provided under the Agreement will be reduced by the value of the severance, change in control or similar benefits that the Executive receives by operation of applicable law or under any other Company Group-sponsored plan, policy, contract, or arrangement. 
7.Existing Severance Entitlements. This Agreement shall supersede and replace the Existing Severance Entitlements set forth in the Executive’s Employment Agreement, and the Executive and the Company hereby agree and acknowledge that, effective as of 
6

Exhibit 10.3

the Effective Date, the Executive shall have no further rights or entitlements with respect to the Existing Severance Entitlements.
8.Section 409A
(a)To the extent any payments or benefits under the Agreement are subject to Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”), the Agreement shall be interpreted and administered to the maximum extent possible to comply with Section 409A. For purposes of any payments or benefits under the Agreement subject to Section 409A:
(i)The Executive shall not be considered to have terminated employment with the Employer unless the Executive would be considered to have incurred a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.
(ii)Each separate payment to be made or benefit to be provided under the Agreement shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A.
(iii)If the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of the Executive’s separation from service, to the extent required under Section 409A to avoid accelerated taxation and tax penalties, any amounts payable during the six-month period immediately following the Executive’s separation from service shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six months following the Executive’s separation from service (or, if earlier, the Executive’s date of death).
The Company makes no representation that payments described in the Agreement will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A.
9.Section 280G.
(a)In the event that the severance and other benefits provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to the Executive under any other plan or arrangement (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code (“280G Payments”), and (ii) but for this Section 9, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the 280G Payments will be either:
(i)delivered in full, or
(ii)delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such benefits being subject to the Excise Tax, 
whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, results in the receipt by Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under 
7

Exhibit 10.3

Section 4999 of the Code. If a reduction in the 280G Payments is necessary so that no portion of such benefits are subject to the Excise Tax, reduction will occur in the following order: (i) cancellation of awards granted “contingent on a change in ownership or control” (within the meaning of Code Section 280G); (ii) a pro rata reduction of (A) cash payments that are subject to Section 409A as deferred compensation and (B) cash payments not subject to Section 409A of the Code; (iii) a pro rata reduction of (A) employee benefits that are subject to Section 409A as deferred compensation and (B) employee benefits not subject to Section 409A; and (iv) a pro rata cancellation of (A) accelerated vesting equity awards that are subject to Section 409A as deferred compensation and (B) equity awards not subject to Section 409A. In the event that acceleration of vesting of equity awards is to be cancelled, such acceleration of vesting will be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of the Executive’s equity awards.
Unless Executive and the Company otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 9 will be made in writing by the Company’s independent public accountants immediately prior to the change in control of the Company or such other person or entity to which the parties mutually agree (the “Firm”), whose determination will be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 9, 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. Executive and the Company will furnish to the Firm such information and documents as the Firm may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 8. The Company will bear all costs the Firm may incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 9.
10.Accrued Amounts.  In the event of any termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, as of the Termination Date, the Executive shall be entitled to: (i) any base salary earned but not paid through the date of such termination, paid on the next regularly scheduled payroll date following such termination; (ii) any unreimbursed business expenses reimbursable; and (iii) all other benefits, if any, due to the Executive, as determined in accordance with the plans, policies and practices of the Company, the Employer and applicable law. 
11.Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed, construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflicts of law principles. 
12.Severability. Any provision in the Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable by reason of applicable law in any jurisdiction shall be modified in such jurisdiction to the minimum extent necessary so that such provision is valid, legal and enforceable in 
8

Exhibit 10.3

such jurisdiction, without invalidating or affecting the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.
13.Assignment; Successors. The Executive may not assign or transfer the benefits provided under this Agreement. Any successor to the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s business and/or assets (whether direct or indirect and whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, liquidation or other transaction) will assume the obligations under the Agreement and agree expressly to perform the obligations under the Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company would be required to perform such obligations in the absence of a succession. For all purposes under the Agreement, the term “Company” will include any successor to the Company’s business and/or assets which become bound by the terms of the Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise.
14.Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may not be modified, amended or terminated except by an instrument in writing, approved by the Company and signed by the Executive and the Company.  Failure on the part of either party to complain of any action or omission, breach or default on the part of the other party, no matter how long the same may continue, will never be deemed to be a waiver of any rights or remedies hereunder, at law or in equity. The Executive or the Company may waive compliance by the other party with any provision of this Agreement that such other party was or is obligated to comply with or perform only through an executed writing; provided, however, that such waiver will not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any other or subsequent failure.
15.Cost and Funding of the Agreement. The Company (or one of its subsidiaries) will pay benefits of the Agreement out of the general assets of the Company, at no cost to the Executive. 
16.No Benefit Plan Compensation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no severance payments or benefits made under the Agreement shall be considered as creditable “compensation” under any benefit plan maintained by the Employer or any member of the Company Group, unless specifically provided for under the applicable plan documents or required by applicable law. 
17.WARN Offsets. If the Employer or any member of the Company Group is obligated by the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act or any other similar non-U.S., state, or local law (“WARN”) to provide the Executive compensation or benefits upon a plant closing or mass layoff, then any benefits provided under this Agreement will be reduced or offset by the amount of the compensation and benefits the Executive receives under WARN.
18.No Right to Continue Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring any right upon the Executive with respect to the continuation of 
9

Exhibit 10.3

employment, or interfere with the right of the Employer to terminate the Executive’s employment at any time.
19.Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and the Executive with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral), between the Executive and the Company, relating to such subject matter, including, without limitation, the Existing Severance Entitlements (provided that, except with respect to the Existing Severance Entitlements, the Executive’s Employment Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and Section 7 of this Agreement).  
20.Captions. The headings used in this Agreement are intended for convenience or reference only and will not in any manner amplify, limit, modify or otherwise be used in the construction or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. All section references are to sections of this Agreement, unless otherwise noted.
21.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same Agreement.

Exhibit A

RELEASE OF CLAIMS

As used in this Release of Claims (this "Release"), the term "claims" will include all claims, covenants, warranties, promises, undertakings, actions, suits, causes of action, obligations, debts, accounts, attorneys' fees; judgments, losses, and liabilities, of whatsoever kind or nature, in law, in equity, or otherwise.

For and in consideration of the [Severance Benefits][CIC Severance Benefits]1 (as defined in my Change in Control and Severance Agreement, dated September 1, 2021, with CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (the “Change in Control and Severance Agreement”), and other good and valuable consideration, I, George Kurtz, for and on behalf of myself and my heirs, administrators, executors, and assigns, effective as of the date on which this release becomes effective pursuant to its terms, do fully and forever release, remise, and discharge each of the Company, Crowdstrike, Inc., and each of their respective direct and indirect subsidiaries and affiliates, and their respective successors and assigns, together with their respective officers, directors, partners, shareholders, employees, and agents (collectively, the "Group"), from any and all claims whatsoever up to the date hereof that I had, may have had, or now have against the Group, whether known or unknown, for or by reason of any matter, cause, or thing whatsoever, including any claim arising out of or attributable to my employment or the termination of my employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, whether for tort, breach of express or implied employment contract, intentional infliction of emotional distress, wrongful termination, unjust dismissal, defamation, libel, or slander, or under any federal, state, or local law dealing with discrimination based on age, race, sex, national origin, handicap, religion, disability, or sexual orientation. This release of claims includes, but is not limited to, all claims arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act ("ADEA''), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Family Medical Leave Act, and the Equal Pay Act, each as may be amended from time to time, and all other federal, state, and local laws, the common law, and any other purported restriction on an employer's right to terminate the employment of employees. The release contained herein is intended to be a general release of any and all claims to the fullest extent permissible by law.

I acknowledge and agree that as of the date I execute this Release, I have no knowledge of any facts or circumstances that give rise or could give rise to any claims under any of the laws listed in the preceding paragraph.

By executing this Release, I specifically release all claims relating to my employment and its termination under ADEA, a United States federal statute that, among other things, prohibits discrimination on the basis of age in employment and employee benefit plans.

1 To include as applicable.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Release to the contrary, by executing this Release, I am not releasing (i) any claims relating to my rights under Section 7 of the Employment Agreement or my rights to the [Severance Benefits][CIC Severance Benefits] in accordance with the terms of the Change in Control and Severance Agreement, (ii) any claims that cannot be waived by law, or (iii) my right of indemnification as provided by, and in accordance with the terms of, the Company's by-laws or a Company insurance policy providing such coverage, as any of such may be amended from time to time.

I hereby expressly and knowingly waive application of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code and all comparable, equivalent or similar provisions of state or federal law. I further certify that I have read and understand the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which reads as follows:

"A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY."

To the maximum extent permitted by law, I also promise never directly or indirectly to bring or participate in an action against any member of the Group under California Business & Professions Code Section 17200 or under any other unfair competition law of any jurisdiction with respect to my employment with the Company or the termination thereof.

I expressly acknowledge and agree that I -

■Am able to read the language, and understand the meaning and effect, of this Release;

■Have no physical or mental impairment of any kind that has interfered with my ability to read and understand the meaning of this Release or its terms, and that I am not acting under the influence of any medication, drug, or chemical of any type in entering into this Release;

■Am specifically agreeing to the terms of the release contained in this Release because the Company has agreed to pay me the [Severance Benefits][CIC Severance Benefits] in consideration for my agreement to accept it in full settlement of all possible claims I might have or ever have had, and because of my execution of this Release;

■Acknowledge that, but for my execution of this Release, I would not be entitled to the [Severance Benefits][CIC Severance Benefits];

			
	-2-

        

■Understand that, by entering into this Release, I do not waive rights or claims under ADEA that may arise after the date I execute this Release;

■Had or could have had [twenty-one (21)][forty-five (45)]2 days from the date of my termination of employment (the "Release Expiration Date") in which to review and consider this Release, and that if I execute this Release prior to the Release Expiration Date, I have voluntarily and knowingly waived the remainder of the review period;
■Have not relied upon any representation or statement not set forth in this Release or the Change in Control and Severance Agreement made by the Company or any of its representatives;

■Was advised to consult with my attorney regarding the terms and effect of this Release; and

■Have signed this Release knowingly and voluntarily.

I represent and warrant that I have not previously filed, and to the maximum extent permitted by law agree that I will not file, a complaint, charge, or lawsuit against any member of the Group regarding any of the claims released herein. If, notwithstanding this representation and warranty, I have filed or file such a complaint, charge, or lawsuit, I agree that I shall cause such complaint, charge, or lawsuit to be dismissed with prejudice and shall pay any and all costs required in obtaining dismissal of such complaint, charge, or lawsuit, including without limitation the attorneys' fees of any member of the Group against whom I have filed such a complaint, charge, or lawsuit. This paragraph shall not apply, however, to a claim of age discrimination under ADEA or to any non-waivable right to file a charge with the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the "EEOC"); provided, however, that if the EEOC were to pursue any claims relating to my employment with Company, I agree that I shall not be entitled to recover any monetary damages or any other remedies or benefits as a result and that this Release and the [Severance Benefits][CIC Severance Benefits] under the Change in Control and Severance Agreement will control as the exclusive remedy and full settlement of all such claims by me.

         Nothing in this Release is intended to or will be used in any way to limit my rights to communicate with a government agency, as provided for, or protected under, applicable law, or to engage in any future activities protected under whistleblower statutes. In addition, the Company and I acknowledge that, pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, I may not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (a) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official or

agency, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. In addition and without limiting the preceding sentence, if I file a lawsuit alleging retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, I may disclose the trade secret to my attorney and may use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if I (x) file any document containing the trade secret under seal and (y) do not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

I hereby agree to waive any and all claims to re-employment with the Company or any other member of the Company Group and affirmatively agree not to seek further employment with the Company or any other member of the Company Group.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Release will not become effective or enforceable prior to the expiration of the period of seven (7) calendar days following the date of its execution by me (the "Revocation Period"), during which time I may revoke my acceptance of this Release by notifying the Company and the Board, in writing, delivered to the Company at its principal executive office, marked for the attention of the Board. To be effective, such revocation must be received by the Company no later than 11:59 p.m. PST on the seventh (7th) calendar day following the execution of this Release.

I acknowledge and agree that if I revoke this Release during the Revocation Period, this Release will be null and void and of no effect, and neither the Company nor any other member of the Company Group will have any obligations to pay me the [Severance Benefits][CIC Severance Benefits].

The provisions of this Release shall be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators, legal personal representatives, and assigns. If any provision of this Release shall be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void, or unenforceable, such provision shall be of no force or effect. The illegality or unenforceability of such provision, however, shall have no effect upon and shall not impair the enforceability of any other provision of this Release.    

EXCEPT WHERE PREEMPTED BY FEDERAL LAW, THE VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION, CONSTRUCTION, AND PERFORMANCE OF THIS RELEASE IS GOVERNED BY AND IS TO BE CONSTRUED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THAT STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS RULES.
