 Exhibit 10.31 
 3PAR, INC. 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 This Agreement, originally made by and between 3PAR, Inc. (the “Company”), and David C-A Scott (“Executive”) July 30, 2007 (the
“Prior Agreement”), is hereby amended and restated to comply with Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) Section 409A and the final regulations and any guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”), effective as of
the last date signed below. 
 1. Duties and Scope of Employment. 
 (a) Positions; CEO Employment Commencement Date; Duties. The Company shall employ the Executive as the President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company reporting to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). The period of Executive’s employment hereunder is referred to herein as the “Employment Term.” During the Employment Term,
Executive shall render such business and professional services in the performance of his duties, consistent with Executive’s position within the Company as shall reasonably be assigned to him by the Board. 
 (b) Obligations. During the Employment Term, Executive shall devote his full business efforts and time to the Company. Executive
agrees, during the Employment Term, not to actively engage in any other employment, occupation or consulting activity for any direct or indirect remuneration without the prior approval of the Board; provided, however, that Executive may serve in any
capacity with any civic, educational or charitable organization, or as a member of corporate Boards of Directors or committees thereof, without the approval of the Board, unless there is a conflict of interest. 
 (c) Employee Benefits. During the Employment Term, Executive shall be eligible to participate in the employee benefit plans
maintained by the Company that are applicable to other senior management to the full extent provided for under those plans. 
 2. At-Will
Employment. Executive and the Company understand and acknowledge that Executive’s employment with the Company constitutes “at-will” employment. Subject to the Company’s obligation to provide severance benefits as specified
herein, Executive and the Company acknowledge that this employment relationship may be terminated at any time, upon written notice to the other party, with or without good cause or for any or no cause, at the option either of the Company or
Executive. 
 3. Compensation. 
 (a) Base Salary. While employed by the Company, the Company shall pay the Executive as compensation for his services a base salary at the annualized rate of three hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($350,000)
(the “Base Salary”). Such salary shall be paid periodically in accordance with normal Company payroll practices and subject to the usual, required withholding. Executive’s Base Salary shall be reviewed annually by the Compensation
Committee of the Board for possible adjustments in light of Executive’s performance and competitive data. 

 (b) Target Bonus. Executive shall be eligible to earn an annual target bonus based
upon the Company’s fiscal year equal to one hundred percent (100%) of his Base Salary (“Target Bonus”). The actual bonus, if any, Executive will receive may be greater or lesser and will depend upon the extent to which the
applicable performance goal(s) specified by the Compensation Committee are achieved or exceeded. Any Target Bonus earned pursuant hereto will be paid to Executive within two and one-half months of the end of the fiscal year to which the Target Bonus
relates. 
 (c) Equity Grants. In addition to the equity compensation awards that Executive has already received,
Executive will be eligible to receive additional equity grants on a periodic basis consistent with the normal compensation practices of the Company. 
 4. Severance Benefits. 
 (a) Involuntary Termination other than for Cause, Death or
Disability; Voluntary Termination for Good Reason During Change of Control Period. If, within eighteen (18) months following a Change of Control (the “Change of Control Period”), Executive’s employment is terminated
(i) involuntarily by the Company other than for Cause, Death or Disability or (ii) due to a Voluntary Termination for Good Reason, then, subject to Executive entering into and not revoking a standard form of release of claims with the
Company within thirty (30) days following termination and further subject to Executive complying with the provisions of Section 7 hereof, the Company shall provide Executive with the following benefits: 
 (i) Severance Payment. Three hundred percent (300%) of the Executive’s Base Salary, payable in a lump-sum thirty
(30) days following Executive’s termination of employment (subject to delayed payment to avoid additional taxation under Section 409A); 
 (ii) Equity Compensation Accelerated Vesting. One hundred percent (100%) of the unvested portion of any stock option, restricted stock or other Company equity compensation held by the Executive shall
automatically be accelerated in full so as to become completely vested. 
 (iii) Continued Benefits. Company-paid group
health, dental, vision and life insurance coverage at the same level of coverage as was provided to such Executive immediately prior to the Change of Control and at the same ratio of Company premium payment to Executive premium payment as was in
effect immediately prior to the Change of Control (the “Company-Paid Coverage”). If such coverage included the Executive’s dependents immediately prior to the Change of Control, such dependents shall also be covered at Company
expense. Company-Paid Coverage shall continue until the earlier of (i) one year from the date of termination, or (ii) the date upon which the Executive and his dependents become covered under another employer’s group health, dental,
vision or life insurance plans that provide Executive and his dependents with comparable benefits and levels of coverage. For purposes of Title X of the Consolidated Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), the date of the
“qualifying event” for Executive and his or her dependents shall be the date upon which the Company-Paid Coverage commences, and each month of Company-Paid Coverage provided hereunder shall offset a month of continuation coverage otherwise
due under COBRA. 
  

 -2- 

 (b) Involuntary Termination Other than for Cause or Voluntary Termination for Good
Reason Outside of Change of Control Period; Termination Due to Death or Disability. If the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates (i) as a result of the Executive’s Disability, (ii) due to the death of the
Executive, (iii) involuntarily by the Company for any reason other than for Cause outside of the Change of Control Period, or (iv) due to a Voluntary Termination for Good Reason outside of the Change of Control Period, then, subject to
Executive (or his estate or personal representative) entering into and not revoking a standard form of release of claims with the Company within thirty (30) days following termination and further subject to Executive complying with the
provisions of Section 7 hereof (except in the case of Executive’s death), the Company shall provide Executive with the following benefits upon such termination: 
 (i) Severance Payment. Three hundred percent (300%) of the Executive’s Base Salary, payable in a lump-sum thirty
(30) days following Executive’s termination of employment (subject to delayed payment to avoid additional taxation under Section 409A); 
 (ii) Equity Compensation Accelerated Vesting. Any stock option, restricted stock or other Company equity compensation held by the Executive shall receive one year’s accelerated vesting. 
 (iii) Continued Benefits. Company-paid group health, dental, vision and life insurance coverage at the same level of coverage as
was provided to such Executive immediately prior to the Change of Control and at the same ratio of Company premium payment to Executive premium payment as was in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control (the “Company-Paid
Coverage”). If such coverage included the Executive’s dependents immediately prior to the Change of Control, such dependents shall also be covered at Company expense. Company-Paid Coverage shall continue until the earlier of (i) one
year from the date of termination, or (ii) the date upon which the Executive and his dependents become covered under another employer’s group health, dental, vision, or life insurance plans that provide Executive and his dependents with
comparable benefits and levels of coverage. For purposes of Title X of the Consolidated Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), the date of the “qualifying event” for Executive and his or her dependents shall be the date
upon which the Company-Paid Coverage commences, and each month of Company-Paid Coverage provided hereunder shall offset a month of continuation coverage otherwise due under COBRA. 
 (c) Voluntary Resignation other than for Good Reason; Termination For Cause. If the Executive’s employment terminates by
reason of the Executive’s voluntary resignation (and is not a Voluntary Termination for Good Reason), or if the Executive is terminated for Cause, then the Executive shall not be entitled to receive severance or other benefits except for those
(if any) as may then be established under the Company’s then existing severance and benefits plans or pursuant to other written agreements with the Company.

 5. Golden Parachute Excise Taxes. In the event that the benefits provided for in this Agreement or
otherwise constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), and the aggregate value of such
parachute payments, as determined in accordance with Section 280G of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder is less than the product obtained by multiplying 3.59 by Executive’s “base amount” within the meaning of Code
Section 280G(b)(3), then such benefits shall be reduced to the extent necessary (but only to that extent) so that no portion of such benefits will be subject to the Excise Tax. Alternatively, in the event that the benefits provided for in this
Agreement or otherwise constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, would be subject to the Excise Tax, and the aggregate value of such parachute payments, as determined in accordance with
Section 280G of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder is equal to or greater than the product obtained by multiplying 3.59 by Executive’s “base amount” within the meaning of Code Section 280G(b)(3), then Executive
shall receive (i) a payment from the Company sufficient to pay such Excise Tax, plus (ii) an additional payment from the Company sufficient to pay the Excise Tax and federal and state income and employment taxes arising from the payments
made by the Company to Executive pursuant to this sentence (together, the “Excise Tax Gross-Up Payment”); provided, however, that the Excise Tax Gross-Up Payment shall be capped at a maximum of one million dollars ($1,000,000). The
Executive shall receive such payments no later than the end of the Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the Executive remitted the applicable taxes. Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, the
determination of Executive’s excise tax liability and the amount required to be paid under this section shall be made in writing by a “Big Four” national accounting firm (the “Accountants”). Any reduction in payments and/or
benefits required by this section shall occur in the following order: (1) reduction of cash payments; (2) reduction in vesting acceleration of equity awards; and (3) reduction of other benefits paid or provided to the Executive. In
the event that acceleration of vesting of equity awards is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant for the Executive’s equity awards. If two or more equity awards are granted on
the same date, each award will be reduced on a pro-rata basis. For purposes of making the calculations required by this section, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on
reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and Executive shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to
make a determination under this section. The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this section. 
 6. Definition of Terms. The following terms referred to in this Agreement shall have the following meanings: 
 (a) Cause. “Cause” shall mean (i) an act of personal dishonesty taken by the Executive in connection with his
responsibilities as an employee and intended to result in substantial personal enrichment of the Executive, (ii) Executive being convicted of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony, (iii) breach of Executive’s obligations
under Section 3(b) hereof or of the Employee Confidential Information and Invention and Assignment Agreement previously entered into by and between the Company and Executive (the “Confidential Information Agreement”), which breach is
not cured within thirty (30) days of Executive’s receipt of written notice specifying the grounds for such breach; (iv) willful material breach of the Company’s written policies; or (v) a willful act by the Executive which
constitutes gross misconduct and which is injurious to the Company. 
  

 -4- 

 (b) Change of Control. “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any
of the following events: 
 (i) Any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the total
voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities; or 
 (ii) The consummation of the sale or
disposition by the Company of all or substantially all the Company’s assets; or 
 (iii) The consummation of a merger or
consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding
or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger
or consolidation. 
 (c) Disability. “Disability” means that, at least 26 weeks after commencement of the
Executive’s inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity, a physician selected by the American Medical Association and acceptable to the Company or its insurers as well as the Executive or the Executive’s legal representative
(such agreements to acceptability not to be unreasonably withheld) has determined that the Executive (i) is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be
expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, or (ii) is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to last for a
continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than six (6) months under an accident and health plan covering Company employees. Termination resulting from Disability
may only be effected after at least 30 day’s written notice by the Company of its intention to terminate the Executive’s employment following the independent physician’s determination. In the event the Executive resumes the
performance of substantially all of his duties hereunder before the termination of his employment becomes effective, the notice of intent to terminate shall automatically be deemed to be revoked. 
 (d) Voluntary Termination for Good Reason. “Voluntary Termination for Good Reason” shall mean the Executive voluntarily
resigns after the occurrence of any of the following (i) without the Executive’s express written consent, a material reduction of the Executive’s duties, title, authority or responsibilities, relative to the Executive’s duties,
title, authority or responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to such reduction, or the assignment to Executive of such reduced duties, title, authority or responsibilities; provided, however, that a reduction in duties, title, authority or
responsibilities solely by virtue of the Company being acquired and made part of a 

  

 -5- 

 
larger entity (as, for example, when the senior vice-president of a business unit of the Company remains as such following a Change of Control) shall not by
itself constitute grounds for a “Voluntary Termination for Good Reason;” (ii) without the Executive’s express written consent, a material reduction, without good business reasons, of the facilities or perquisites (including
office space and location) available to the Executive immediately prior to such reduction; (iii) a material reduction by the Company in the base salary of the Executive as in effect immediately prior to such reduction; (iv) a material
reduction by the Company in the aggregate level of employee benefits, including bonuses, to which the Executive was entitled immediately prior to such reduction with the result that the Executive’s aggregate benefits package is materially
reduced (other than a reduction that generally applies to Company employees); (v) the relocation of the Executive to a facility or a location outside Santa Clara, Alameda or San Mateo counties without the Executive’s express written
consent; or (vi) the failure of the Company to obtain the assumption of this agreement by any successors contemplated in Section 9 below. In addition, upon any such voluntary termination the Executive must provide notice to the Company of
the existence of the one or more of the above conditions within ninety (90) days of its initial existence and the Company must be provided at least thirty (30) days to remedy the condition. 
 (e) Section 409A Limit. For purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A Limit” shall mean the lesser of two
(2) times: (i) Executive’s annualized compensation based upon the annual rate of pay paid to Executive during Executive’s taxable year preceding Executive’s taxable year of Executive’s termination of employment as
determined under Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)(1) and any Internal Revenue Service guidance issued with respect thereto; or (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to
Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the year in which Executive’s employment is terminated. 
 7. Non-Solicitation

 (a) Non-Solicitation. Until the date one year after the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company
for any reason, Executive agrees and acknowledges that Executive’s right to receive and retain the severance payments and benefits set forth in Section 4 (to the extent Executive is otherwise entitled to such payments) shall be conditioned
upon Executive neither directly nor indirectly soliciting, inducing, recruiting or encouraging an employee to leave his or her employment either for Executive or for any other entity or person with which or whom Executive has a business
relationship. 
 (b) Understanding of Covenant. Executive represents that he (i) is familiar with the foregoing
covenant not to solicit, and (ii) is fully aware of his obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the reasonableness of the length of time, scope and geographic coverage of the covenant. 
 (c) Remedy for Breach. Upon any breach of this section by Executive, all severance payments and benefits pursuant to this Agreement
shall immediately cease and any stock options or stock appreciation rights then held by Executive shall immediately terminate and be without further force and effect, and Executive shall be required to reimburse the Company any lump-sum severance
payment previously paid under Section 4 and the value of any COBRA reimbursements previously paid under Section 4 hereunder. The Company may also seek to enjoin Executive from any continued breach.

 8. Section 409A. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no severance payable to Executive, if any, pursuant to this Agreement,
when considered together with any other severance payments or separation benefits that are considered deferred compensation under Section 409A (together, the “Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits”) shall be payable until
Executive has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of Executive’s termination (other than due to death), then the Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits
that are payable within the first six (6) months following Executive’s separation from service shall become payable on the first payroll date that occurs on or after the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of
Executive’s separation from service. All subsequent Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits, if any, shall be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if Executive dies following Executive’s separation from service but prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the separation, then any payments delayed in accordance with this paragraph shall be payable in a lump sum as soon as
administratively practicable after the date of Executive’s death and all other Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits shall be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Each payment and benefit
payable under this Agreement is intended to constitute separate payments for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. 
 (c) Any amount paid under this Agreement that satisfies the requirements of the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations shall not constitute Deferred
Compensation Separation Benefits for purposes of clause (b) above. 
 (d) Any amount paid under this Agreement that
qualifies as a payment made as a result of an involuntary separation from service pursuant to Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations that do not exceed the Section 409A Limit (as defined herein) shall not constitute
Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits for purposes of clause (b) above. 
 (e) Any taxable reimbursements and/or
taxable in-kind benefits provided in this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A, including: (i) the amount of any such expense reimbursement or in-kind benefit provided during a taxable
year of the Executive shall not affect any expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year; (ii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense shall be made no later than the last day of the employee’s taxable year that
immediately follows the taxable year in which the expense was incurred; and (iii) the right to any such reimbursement shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit or payment. 
  

 -7- 

 (f) The foregoing provisions are intended to comply with the requirements of
Section 409A so that none of the severance payments and benefits to be provided hereunder shall be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein shall be interpreted to so comply. The Company and
Executive agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to this Agreement and to take such reasonable actions which are necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition prior to actual
payment to Executive under Section 409A. 
 9. Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
(a) the heirs, beneficiaries, executors and legal representatives of Executive upon Executive’s death and (b) any successor of the Company. Any such successor of the Company shall be deemed substituted for the Company under the terms
of this Agreement for all purposes. As used herein, “successor” shall include any person, firm, corporation or other business entity which at any time, whether by purchase, merger or otherwise, directly or indirectly acquires all or
substantially all of the assets or business of the Company. None of the rights of Executive to receive any form of compensation payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be assignable or transferable except through a testamentary disposition or by
the laws of descent and distribution upon the death of Executive. Any attempted assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than as aforesaid) of any interest in the rights of Executive to receive any form of compensation hereunder
shall be null and void. 
 10. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications called for hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be deemed given if (i) delivered personally or by facsimile, (ii) one (1) day after being sent by Federal Express or a similar commercial overnight service, or (iii) three (3) days after being mailed by
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, prepaid and addressed to the parties or their successors in interest at the following addresses, or at such other addresses as the parties may designate by written notice in the manner
aforesaid:

		  		  	Attn: Non-Executive Chairman of the Board
			
		  	If to Executive:	  	David C-A Scott
		  		  	at the last residential address known by the Company.

 11. Severability. In the event that any provision hereof becomes or is declared by a court
of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision. 
 12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Executive’s equity compensation agreements and the Confidential Information Agreement represent the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and Executive concerning
Executive’s employment relationship with the Company. This Agreement supersedes and replaces in its entirety the Employment Agreement between the Company and Executive dated January 12, 2001 and the Prior Agreement. 
  

 -8- 

 13. Dispute Resolution. 
 (a) The parties shall first meet to settle any dispute through good faith negotiation or non-binding mediation. If not settled by good
faith negotiation or non-binding mediation between the parties within 30 days from the date one party requests in writing to meet the other party, then to the extent permitted by law, any dispute or controversy arising out of, relating to, or in
connection with this Agreement, or the interpretation, validity, construction, performance, breach, or termination thereof shall be finally settled by binding arbitration to be held in Santa Clara County, California, in accordance with the National
Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes then in effect of the American Arbitration Association (the “Rules”). The arbitrator may grant injunctions or other relief in such dispute or controversy. The decision of the arbitrator shall
be confidential, final, conclusive and binding on the parties to the arbitration. Judgment may be entered under a protective order on the arbitrator’s decision in any court having jurisdiction. The Company shall pay all costs of any mediation
or arbitration; provided, however, that each party shall pay its own attorney and advisor fees. 
 (b) The arbitrator shall
apply California law to the merits of any dispute or claim, without reference to rules of conflict of law. The arbitration proceedings shall be governed by federal arbitration law and by the Rules, without reference to state arbitration law.
Executive hereby expressly consents to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in California for any action or proceeding arising from or relating to this Agreement and/or relating to any arbitration in which the parties
are participants. 
 (c) Executive understands that nothing in Section 13 modifies Executive’s at-will status.
Either the Company or Executive can terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause. 
 (d) EXECUTIVE
HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS SECTION 13, WHICH DISCUSSES ARBITRATION. EXECUTIVE UNDERSTANDS THAT BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, EXECUTIVE AGREES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TO SUBMIT ANY FUTURE CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR IN CONNECTION
WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE INTERPRETATION, VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION, PERFORMANCE, BREACH, OR TERMINATION THEREOF TO BINDING ARBITRATION, AND THAT THIS ARBITRATION CLAUSE CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF EXECUTIVE’S RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND RELATES TO
THE RESOLUTION OF ALL DISPUTES RELATING TO ALL ASPECTS OF THE EMPLOYER/EMPLOYEE RELATIONSHIP. 
 14. No Oral Modification, Cancellation or
Discharge. This Agreement may only be amended, canceled or discharged in writing signed by Executive and a majority of the Board of Directors. 
 15. Withholding. The Company shall be entitled to withhold, or cause to be withheld, from payment any amount of withholding taxes required by law with respect to payments made to Executive in connection with his employment hereunder.

  

 -9- 

 16. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.

 17. Effective Date. This Agreement is effective upon the date it has been executed by both parties. 
 18. Acknowledgment. Executive acknowledges that he has had the opportunity to discuss this matter with and obtain advice from his private
attorney, has had sufficient time to, and has carefully read and fully understands all the provisions of this Agreement, and is knowingly and voluntarily entering into this Agreement.

 EXHIBIT A 
 TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS 
 1. Grant. The Company hereby grants to the
Participant named in the Notice of Grant (the “Participant”) under the Plan the number of Restricted Stock Units indicated in the Notice of Grant, subject to all of the terms and conditions in this Agreement and the Plan, which is
incorporated herein by reference. Subject to Section 20(c) of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan will prevail.

 2. Company’s Obligation to Pay. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents
the right to receive a Share on the date it vests (or at such later time indicated in this Agreement). Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units will have vested in the manner set forth in Sections 3 or 4 of this Agreement or Section 15
of the Plan, Participant will have no right to payment of any such Restricted Stock Units. Prior to actual payment of any vested Restricted Stock Units, such Restricted Stock Units will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if
at all) only from the general assets of the Company. Any Restricted Stock Units that vest in accordance with this Agreement will be paid to Participant (or in the event of Participant’s death, to his or her properly designated beneficiary or
estate) in whole Shares, subject to Participant satisfying any applicable tax withholding obligations as set forth in Section 7. Subject to the provisions of Section 4, such vested Restricted Stock Units shall be paid in whole Shares as
soon as practicable after vesting, but in each such case within the period ending no later than the later of (i) the end of the calendar year that includes the vesting date or (ii) the date that is the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) month following the
vesting date. 
 3. Vesting Schedule. Except as provided in Sections 4 and 11 of this Agreement and Section 15 of the Plan, and
subject to Section 5, the Restricted Stock Units awarded by this Agreement will vest in accordance with the vesting provisions set forth in the Notice of Grant [TO BE INCLUDED IF SEPARATE ARRANGEMENTS PROVIDE FOR ACCELERATED VESTING: which
shall be deemed to include any acceleration of vesting provisions included in Participant’s [NAME OF Employment Agreement or Severance Agreement or other arrangement that includes vesting], dated [DATE]]. Restricted Stock Units scheduled to
vest on a certain date or upon the occurrence of a certain condition will not vest in Participant in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement, unless Participant will have been continuously a Service Provider from the Date of Grant
until the date such vesting occurs. 
 4. Administrator Discretion. 
 a. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the unvested
Restricted Stock Units at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. If so accelerated, such Restricted Stock Units will be considered as having vested as of the date specified by the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4
and Section 5, if the Administrator, in its discretion, accelerates the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Restricted Stock Units, the payment of such accelerated Restricted Stock Units shall be made as soon
as practicable after the new vesting date, but, except as provided in this Agreement, in no event later than the later of 

  

 -3- 

 
(i) the end of the calendar year that includes the vesting date or (ii) the date that is the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) month following the applicable vesting date;
provided, however, if the Restricted Stock Units are “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A, the payment of such accelerated portion of the Award of Restricted Stock Units nevertheless shall be made at the same
time or times as if such Award had vested in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in Section 3, including any necessary application of Section 4(b) (whether or not the Participant remains employed by the Company or an Affiliate
as of such date(s)), unless an earlier payment date, in the judgment of the Administrator, would not cause the Participant to incur an additional tax under Section 409A, in which case, payment of such accelerated Award shall be made no later
than the date that is the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) month (and in all cases within ninety (90) days) following the earliest permissible payment date that would not cause the Participant to incur an additional tax under Section 409A, subject to
Section 4(b) with respect to specified employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any delay in payment pursuant to this Section 4(a) will cease upon the Participant’s death and such payment will be made as soon as practicable after the
date of Participant’s death (and in all cases within ninety (90) days following such death). For purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A” means Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”), and any proposed, temporary or final Treasury Regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance thereunder, as each may be amended from time to time. 
 b. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, if the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the
balance, of the Restricted Stock Units is accelerated in connection with the Participant’s termination as a Service Provider, such accelerated Restricted Stock Units will not be payable by virtue of such acceleration until and unless the
Participant has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. Further, and notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary if any such accelerated RSUs would otherwise become payable upon a
“separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A, and if (x) Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of such “separation from service” (other than
due to the Employee’s death) and (y) the payment of such accelerated Restricted Stock Units will result in the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A if paid to Participant on or within the six (6) month period following
Participant’s termination as a Service Provider, then the payment of such accelerated Restricted Stock Units will not be made until the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Participant’s “separation from
service”, unless the Participant dies following his or her termination as a Service Provider, in which case, the Restricted Stock Units will be paid in Shares to the Participant’s estate as soon as practicable following his or her death
(and in all cases within ninety (90) days of Participant’s death). It is the intent of this Agreement to comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the Restricted Stock Units to be provided under this Agreement or
Shares issuable thereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply. 
 5. Forfeiture upon Termination of Status as a Service Provider. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the balance of the Restricted Stock Units that have not vested as of the time of
Participant’s termination as a Service Provider for any or no reason will be forfeited and automatically transferred to and reacquired by the Company at no cost to the Company and Participant’s right to acquire any Shares hereunder will
immediately terminate.

 6. Death of Participant. Any distribution or delivery to be made to Participant under this
Agreement will, if Participant is then deceased, be made to Participant’s designated beneficiary, provided such beneficiary has been designated prior to Participant’s death in a form acceptable to the Administrator or, if no such
beneficiary has been designated or survives Participant, the administrator or executor of Participant’s estate. Any such transferee must furnish the Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (b) evidence
satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer. 
 7. Withholding of Taxes. When Shares are issued as payment for vested Restricted Stock Units, the Company (or the employing Parent or Subsidiary) will withhold a portion of the Shares that have an aggregate market value sufficient to
pay the minimum federal, state and local income, employment and any other applicable taxes required to be withheld by the Company (or the employing Parent or Subsidiary) with respect to the Shares, unless the Company, in its sole discretion,
requires the Participant to make alternate arrangements satisfactory to the Company for such withholdings in advance of the arising of any withholding obligations. The number of Shares withheld pursuant to the prior sentence will be rounded up to
the nearest whole Share, with no refund provided in the U.S. for any value of the Shares withheld in excess of the tax obligation as a result of such rounding, all pursuant to such procedures as the Administrator may specify from time to time.

 Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no Shares will be issued unless and until all income, employment and other taxes
which the Company determines must be withheld or collected with respect to such Shares have been withheld. In addition and to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company (or the employing Parent or Subsidiary) has the right to retain without
notice from salary or other amounts payable to the Participant, cash having a sufficient value to satisfy any tax withholding obligations that the Company determines cannot be satisfied through the withholding of otherwise deliverable Shares. All
income and other taxes related to the Restricted Stock Units and any Shares delivered in payment thereof are the sole responsibility of the Participant. 
 8. Rights as Stockholder. Neither Participant nor any person claiming under or through Participant will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable
hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares (which may be in book entry form) will have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to Participant (including through
electronic delivery to a brokerage account). After such issuance, recordation and delivery, Participant will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to voting such Shares and receipt of dividends and distributions on such
Shares. 
 9. No Guarantee of Continued Service. PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF THE RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING PARTICIPANT) AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS AWARD
OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER.  

  

 -5- 

 
PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT
CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND WILL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH PARTICIPANT’S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR
SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING PARTICIPANT) TO TERMINATE PARTICIPANT’S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE. 
 10. Address for Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement will be addressed to the Company at 3PAR Inc., 4209 Technology Drive, Fremont, CA 94538, or at such other address
as the Company may hereafter designate in writing. 
 11. Changes in Restricted Stock Units. In the event that as a result of a stock
or extraordinary cash dividend, stock split, distribution, reclassification, recapitalization, combination of Shares or the adjustment in capital stock of the Company or otherwise, or as a result of a merger, consolidation, spin-off or other
corporate transaction or event, the Restricted Stock Units will be increased, reduced or otherwise affected, and by virtue of any such event the Participant will in his or her capacity as owner of unvested Restricted Stock Units which have been
awarded to him or her (the “Prior Restricted Stock Units”) be entitled to new or additional or different shares of stock, cash or other securities or property (other than rights or warrants to purchase securities); such new or additional
or different shares, cash or securities or property will thereupon be considered to be unvested Restricted Stock Units and will be subject to all of the conditions and restrictions that were applicable to the Prior Restricted Stock Units pursuant to
this Agreement and the Plan. If the Participant receives rights or warrants with respect to any Prior Restricted Stock Units, such rights or warrants may be held or exercised by the Participant, provided that until such exercise any such rights or
warrants and after such exercise any shares or other securities acquired by the exercise of such rights or warrants will be considered to be unvested Restricted Stock Units and will be subject to all of the conditions and restrictions which were
applicable to the Prior Restricted Stock Units pursuant to the Plan and this Agreement. The Administrator in its absolute discretion at any time may accelerate the vesting of all or any portion of such new or additional shares of stock, cash or
securities, rights or warrants to purchase securities or shares or other securities acquired by the exercise of such rights or warrants; provided, however, that the payment of such new or additional awards shall be made in accordance with the timing
of payment rules under Section 4(a) of this Agreement. 
 12. Change in
Control. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, if the vesting of all or a portion of the Restricted Stock Units accelerates (a) pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Plan in the event of a Change in Control
that is not a “change in control” within the meaning of Section 409A or (b) pursuant to any other plan or agreement that provides for acceleration in the event of a change in control that is not a “change in control”
within the meaning of Section 409A, then the payment of such accelerated portion of the Award (including any new or additional awards existing as a result of Section 11 of this Agreement) will be made in accordance with the timing of
payment rules that apply to discretionary accelerations under Section 4(a) of this Agreement. If the vesting of all or a portion of the Restricted Stock Units accelerate in the event of a Change in Control that is a “change in
control” within the meaning of Section 409A, then the payment of such accelerated Restricted Stock Units shall be paid no later than the date that is the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) month (and in all cases within ninety (90) days) from the vesting date.

its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable; and (d) the lapse of such reasonable period of time following the date of vesting of the Restricted Stock Units as the Administrator may establish from time to time for reasons of
administrative convenience.

related to Restricted Stock Units awarded under the Plan or future Restricted Stock Units that may be awarded under the Plan by electronic means or request Participant’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. Participant hereby
consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through any on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company.

State of California, and agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of Alameda County, California, or the federal courts for the United States for the Northern District of California, and no other courts, where this Award of
