the number of Shares or Share Equivalents to be subject to each Award, the vesting of Awards and any other conditions of Awards to prospective Employees, which need not be identical.

 (ii) The determinations, interpretation and construction by the Administrator of any
provisions of the Plan or of any Award will be final. No member of the Administrator will be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award. The Administrator has complete discretion to construe and
interpret the Plan and any Award and to establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations for its administration. The Administrator may correct any defect, omission or inconsistency in an Award in any manner it deems necessary or expedient.

 (iii) The Administrator may exercise such powers as it deems necessary to promote the interests of the Company that do not
conflict with the Plan. 
 (iv) The Administrator may authorize any officer or Employee to execute on behalf of the Company
any Award Agreement or other instrument required to affect an Award previously granted by the Administrator. 
 (v) The
Administrator may settle Awards in stock, cash or in any combination. 
 c. Leaves of Absence 
 Unless the Administrator provides otherwise in writing, vesting of any Award will be suspended during any unpaid leave of absence. A Participant will not
cease to be an Employee in the case of any leave of absence approved by the Employer or required by law. 
 5. ELIGIBILITY 

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, the Administrator has sole and complete authority to determine the prospective Employees to whom
the Awards may be granted. A specific type of Award may be made alone, in addition to, or in conjunction with any other type of Award. The Administrator may make Awards only as inducements to a person not previously employed by the Employer now
being hired by the Employer (including Employees hired in connection with a merger or acquisition) or rehired following a bona fide period of interruption of employment. A Participant may receive more than one Award, including Awards of the same
type, but only on the terms and subject to the restrictions set forth in the Plan. 
 6. STOCK 
 The stock subject to Awards granted under the Plan will be shares of the Company’s authorized but unissued Common Stock. The aggregate number of
Shares subject to Awards granted under this Plan will not exceed 400,000 Shares (the “Share Reserve”). Each Share subject to an Award will reduce the Share Reserve by one share. If any outstanding Award expires, is terminated or forfeited
for any reason, then the Shares represented by the terminated, unexercised or forfeited portion of such Award may again be subject to Awards under the Plan.

 7. STOCK OPTIONS 
 Options granted to Participants pursuant to the Plan will be evidenced by written Option Award Agreements (whether in hard copy or in an electronic format approved by the Company) in such form as the Administrator
will determine, subject to the Plan and the following terms and conditions: 
 a. Number of Shares 
 Each Option Award Agreement will state the number of Shares to which such Option pertains, which will be subject to adjustment in accordance with
Section 12. 
 b. Exercise Price 
 Each Option Award Agreement will state the Exercise Price of such Option, determined by the Administrator, which will not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, except as provided in
Section 12. 
 c. Medium and Time of Payment 
 The Purchase Price payable upon the exercise of an Option is payable in full in United States dollars; provided that (subject to such conditions and procedures as the Administrator may establish) the Purchase Price
may be paid by: (i) the surrender of Shares in good form for transfer, owned by the person exercising the Option and having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise at least equal to the Purchase Price; (ii) authorizing a third party to
sell all or a portion of the Shares acquired upon exercise of an Option and remitting to the Company a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay the Purchase Price; (iii) authorizing the Company to withhold Shares issued upon exercise of
an Option that have a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise at least equal to the Purchase Price; or (iv) such other acceptable form of payment as approved by the Administrator, so long as the total of the cash and the Fair Market Value of
the Shares or other form of payment surrendered equals the Purchase Price. No Shares will be issued until full payment has been made. 
 d. Term and Exercise of Options 
 Each Option Award Agreement will state the date after which such Option will cease to be
exercisable. An Option will, during a Participant’s lifetime, be exercisable only by the Participant or if the Participant’s Disability prevents such exercise, by their legally appointed guardian, unless otherwise provided in the Option
Award Agreement. 
 e. Termination of Service 
 In the event that a Participant’s service as an Employee, Consultant or Director terminates for any reason, unless provided for otherwise in an Option Award Agreement, such Participant (or in the case of death,
such Participant’s designated Beneficiary) will have the right (subject to the limitation that no Option may be exercised after its stated expiration date) to exercise such Option either: 
 (i) within three months after such termination of service; or 
  

					
	 PLANAR SYSTEMS, INC.
 2007 NEW HIRE INCENTIVE PLAN
	 	 5
	 	

 (ii) in the case of Retirement or death within one year after the date thereof; or

 (iii) in the case of Disability, within one year from the date the Participant’s service with the Company or an
Affiliate is terminated due to the Disability, or 
 (iv) on such other terms established by the Administrator in the Award
Agreement or otherwise prior to termination of service, 
 but only to the extent that, at the date of termination, the Option had vested pursuant to the
terms of the Option Award Agreement with respect to which such Option was granted and had not previously been exercised. 
 For purposes of
this Section, the service relationship will be treated as continuing while the Participant is on military leave, sick leave (including short term disability) or other bona fide leave of absence (to be determined in the sole discretion of the
Administrator, in accordance with rules and regulations construing Code section 409A). If a Participant’s classification as an Employee, Consultant or Director changes into a different such classification without any break in service, such
Participant’s service relationship will be treated as continuing without interruption for purposes of vesting in and exercising Options held by such Participant. 
 f. Rights as a Shareholder 
 A Participant or an authorized transferee of a Participant will have no
rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares covered by his or her Option until the date of issuance of a stock certificate or book entry notation for such Shares. No adjustment will be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for
which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is issued or book entry made, except as provided in Section 12. 
 g. Modification, Extension and Renewal of Options 
 Subject to the terms and conditions and within the limitations of the
Plan, the Administrator may modify, extend or renew outstanding Options granted to Participants under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, no modification of an Option will, without the consent of the Participant, alter or impair any
rights or obligations under any Option previously granted under the Plan or cause any Option to fail to be exempt from the requirements of Code section 409A. 
 h. Other Terms and Conditions 
 An Option Award Agreement may condition the grant of Shares, or the
removal of any restriction, upon the attainment of specified performance objectives established by the Administrator pursuant to Section 11 or such other factors, such as continued service with the Employer or the terms and conditions of
vesting or forfeiture of the Award, as determined by the Administrator that are consistent with the Plan.

 8. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 
 Stock Appreciation Rights granted to Participants pursuant to the Plan will be evidenced by written Stock Appreciation Right Award Agreements (whether in
hard copy or in an electronic format approved by the Company) in such form as the Administrator will determine, subject to the Plan and the following terms and conditions: 
 a. Number of Shares 
 Each Stock
Appreciation Right Award Agreement will state the number of Shares or Share Equivalents to which such Stock Appreciation Right pertains, which will be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 12. 
 b. Calculation of Appreciation; Exercise Price 
 The appreciation distribution payable on the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right will be equal to the excess of (i) the aggregate Fair Market Value of a number of Shares equal to the number of Shares or Share
Equivalents in which the Participant is vested under such Stock Appreciation Right on such date, over (ii) the Exercise Price for each Share determined by the Administrator on the date of grant of the Stock Appreciation Right, which will not be
less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant except as provided in Section 12. 
 c. Term and Exercise of
Stock Appreciation Rights 
 Each Stock Appreciation Right Award Agreement will state when such Stock Appreciation right is exercisable. A
Stock Appreciation Right will, during a Participant’s lifetime, be exercisable only by the Participant or if the Participant’s Disability prevents such exercise, by their legally appointed guardian, unless otherwise provided in the Stock
Appreciation right Award Agreement. 
 d. Distribution 
 The appreciation distribution in respect of a Stock Appreciation Right may be paid in Shares, in cash or any combination, or in any other form of consideration as determined by the Administrator. 
 e. Termination of Service 
 In the
event that a Participant’s service as an Employee, Consultant or Director terminates, for any reason, unless provided for otherwise in a Stock Appreciation Right Award Agreement, such Participant (or in the case of death, such
Participant’s designated Beneficiary) will have the right (subject to the limitation that no Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised after its stated expiration date) to exercise such Stock Appreciation Right either: 
 (i) within three months after such termination of service; or 
 (ii) in the case of Retirement or death within one year after the date thereof; or 
  

					
	 PLANAR SYSTEMS, INC.
 2007 NEW HIRE INCENTIVE PLAN
	 	 7
	 	

 (iii) in the case of Disability, within one year from the date the Participant’s
service with the Company or an Affiliate is terminated due to the Disability, or 
 (iv) on such other terms established by
the Administrator in the Award Agreement or otherwise prior to termination of service, 
 but only to the extent that, at the date of termination, the Stock
Appreciation Right had vested pursuant to the terms of the Stock Appreciation Right Award Agreement with respect to which such Stock Appreciation Right was granted and had not previously been exercised. 
 For purposes of this Section, the service relationship will be treated as continuing while the Participant is on military leave, sick leave (including
short term disability) or other bona fide leave of absence (to be determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator, in accordance with rules and regulations construing Code section 409A). If a Participant’s classification as an
Employee, Consultant or Director changes into a different such classification without any break in service, such Participant’s service relationship will be treated as continuing without interruption for purposes of vesting in and exercising
Stock Appreciation Rights held by such Participant. 
 f. Rights as a Shareholder 
 A Participant or an authorized transferee of a Participant will have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares covered by his or her Stock
Appreciation Right until the date of issuance of such Shares. Except as provided in Section 12, no adjustment will be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such Shares are issued.

 g. Other Terms and Conditions 
 A Stock Appreciation Right Award Agreement may condition the distribution, or the removal of any restriction, upon the attainment of specified performance objectives established by the Administrator pursuant to Section 11 or such other
factors, such as continued service with the Employer or the terms and conditions of vesting or forfeiture of the Award, as determined by the Administrator that are consistent with the Plan. 
 9. RESTRICTED STOCK 
 Restricted Stock granted to Participants pursuant to the
Plan will be subject to written Restricted Stock Award Agreements (whether in hard copy or in an electronic format approved by the Company) in such form as the Administrator will determine, subject to the Plan and the following terms and conditions:

 a. Number of Shares; Grants 
 Each Participant receiving a grant of Restricted Stock will be issued a stock certificate which may be in electronic form in respect of such Shares of Restricted Stock. Such certificate will be registered in the name of such Participant,
and will bear an appropriate legend referring to the applicable terms, conditions, and restrictions. The Administrator will require that stock certificates evidencing such Shares be held by the Company until the restrictions lapse and that, as a
condition of any grant of Restricted Stock, the Participant will deliver to the Company a stock power relating to such Shares.

 b. Restrictions and Conditions 
 The Shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to this Section 9 will be subject to the following restrictions and conditions: 
 (i) During a period set by the Administrator commencing with the date of such grant (the “Restriction Period”), the Participant
will not be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge, assign or encumber shares of Restricted Stock granted under the Plan. Within these limits, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may provide for the lapse of such restrictions in installments and
may accelerate or waive such restrictions in whole or in part, based on continued service, performance, or such other factors or criteria as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion. 
 (ii) Except as provided in this paragraph (ii) and paragraph (i) above, the Participant will have, with respect to the shares of
Restricted Stock, all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including the right to vote the shares and the right to receive any cash or stock dividends on or after the grant date. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, as determined at
the time of grant, may provide that the payment of cash dividends will be deferred and not paid until the underlying Shares are vested. Stock dividends issued with respect to Restricted Stock will be treated as additional shares of Restricted Stock
that are subject to the same restrictions and other terms and conditions that apply to the Shares with respect to which such dividends are issued. 
 (iii) A Restricted Stock Award Agreement may condition the grant of Shares, or the removal of any restriction, upon the attainment of specified performance objectives established by the Administrator pursuant to
Section 11 or such other factors, such as continued service with the Employer or the terms and conditions of vesting or forfeiture of the Shares, as determined by the Administrator that are consistent with the Plan. 
 (iv) If and when the Restriction Period applicable to shares of Restricted Stock expires without a prior forfeiture of the Restricted
Stock, certificates for an appropriate number of unrestricted Shares will be delivered promptly to the Participant, and the certificates for the shares of Restricted Stock will be canceled. 
 (v) If required by the General Corporation Laws of the Company’s state of incorporation, a Participant will pay at least par value
for their Restricted Stock Awards in cash or, at the discretion of the Administrator, past services rendered. If the Participant subsequently forfeits the Restricted Stock for any reason, Employer will refund any cash payments to the Participant
without interest.

 10. RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS 
 Restricted Stock Units granted to Participants pursuant to the Plan will be evidenced by written Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreements (whether in hard
copy or in an electronic format approved by the Company) in such form as the Administrator will determine, subject to the Plan and the following terms and conditions: 
 a. Number of Shares; Grants 
 Each Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement will state the number of
Shares subject to issuance thereunder. 
 With respect to a Restricted Stock Unit, no Shares will be issued at the time the grant is made
(nor will any book entry be made in the records of the Company) and the Participant will have no right to or interest in any Shares as a result of the grant of a Restricted Stock Unit until all conditions attached to the grant are fulfilled and the
Administrator delivers Shares to the Participant. 
 b. Restrictions and Conditions 
 The Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to this Section 10 will be subject to the following restrictions and conditions: 
 (i) At the time of grant of a Restricted Stock Unit, the Administrator may impose such restrictions or conditions on the vesting of the
Restricted Stock Units as the Administrator deems appropriate. Within these limits, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may provide for the lapse of such restrictions in installments and may accelerate or waive such restrictions in whole or
in part, based on continued service, performance or such other factors or criteria as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion. The foregoing notwithstanding, no action pursuant to the preceding sentence may alter the time of issuance
of Shares under the Restricted Stock Unit, if such alteration would cause the Award to be subject to penalty under Code section 409A. 
 (ii) A Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement may condition the Award, or the removal of any restriction, upon the attainment of specified performance objectives established by the Administrator pursuant to
Section 11 or such other factors, such as continued service with the Employer or the terms and conditions of vesting or forfeiture of the Award, as determined by the Administrator that are consistent with the Plan. 
 (iii) If required by the General Corporation Laws of the Company’s state of incorporation, recipients will pay at least par value for
Shares issued pursuant to a Restricted Stock Unit in cash or, at the discretion of the Administrator, past services rendered. 
 c.
Deferral Election 
 If a recipient of a Restricted Stock Unit is eligible for the Planar Systems, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan, the
recipient may elect to defer some or all of any Shares he or she may be entitled to receive upon the lapse of any restrictions or vesting period to which the Restricted Stock Unit is subject. This election will be made by giving notice to the
Administrator or its delegate in a manner and within the time prescribed by the Deferred Compensation Plan and in compliance with the requirements of Code section 409A. Each Participant must indicate the number of Restricted Stock Units
(expressed as a whole number) he or she elects to defer of any he or she may be entitled to receive. If no notice is given, the Participant will be deemed to have made no deferral election. Each deferral election filed with the Administrator or its
delegate will become irrevocable on and after the prescribed deadline.

 11. PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES 
 a. Authority to Establish 
 The
Administrator will determine the terms and conditions of Awards at the date of grant or thereafter; provided that performance objectives for each year, if any, will be established by the Administrator not later than the latest date permissible under
Code section 162(m). Performance objectives are not satisfied until the Administrator certifies their satisfaction. 
 b. Criteria

 The performance objectives to be used, if any, will be expressed in terms of one or more of the following: total shareholder return;
earnings per share; stock price; return on equity; net earnings; income from continuing operations; related return ratios; cash flow; net earnings growth; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA); gross or operating
margins; productivity ratios; expense targets; operating efficiency; market share; customer satisfaction; working capital targets (including, but not limited to days sales outstanding); return on assets; increase in revenues; decrease in expenses;
increase in funds from operations (FFO); increases in FFO per share; or such other measures as may be determined by the Administrator. Awards may be based on performance against objectives for more than one Subsidiary, segment or division of the
Company. For example, Awards to an Employee of the Company may be based on overall Company performance against objectives, but awards for an Employee employed by a Subsidiary may be based on a combination of corporate, segment, and Subsidiary
performance against objectives. Performance objectives, if any, established by the Administrator may be (but need not be) different from year-to-year, and different performance objectives may be applicable to different Participants. Performance
objectives may be determined on an absolute basis or relative to internal goals or relative to levels attained in prior years or related to other companies or indices or as ratios expressing relationships between two or more performance objectives.
In addition, performance objectives may be based upon the attainment of specified levels of Company performance under one or more of the measures described above relative to the performance of other corporations. 
 c. Adjustments 
 The Administrator
will specify the manner of adjustment of any performance objectives to the extent necessary to prevent dilution or enlargement of any award as a result of extraordinary events or circumstances, as determined by the Administrator, or to exclude the
effects of extraordinary, unusual, or non-recurring items; changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles; currency fluctuations; discontinued operations; non-cash items, such as amortization, depreciation, or reserves; asset
impairment; or any recapitalization, restructuring, reorganization, merger, acquisition, divestiture, consolidation, spin-off, split-up, combination, liquidation, dissolution, sale of assets, or other similar corporate transaction.

 The number of Shares covered by this Plan as provided in
Section 6; the number of Shares or Share Equivalents covered by or referenced in each outstanding Option, Stock Appreciation Right or Restricted Stock Unit; and the Exercise Price of each outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right will be
proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of Shares, the payment of a stock dividend (but only of Common Stock) or any other increase or decrease in the number
of such Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company or the declaration of a dividend payable in cash that has a material effect on the price of issued Shares. The conversion of any convertible security of the Company will not be
deemed to have been effected without receipt of consideration. 
 b. Dissolution or Liquidation 
 In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, each outstanding Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of
such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by the Administrator. The Administrator may, in the exercise of its sole discretion in such instances, declare that any Award will terminate as of a date fixed by the Administrator and give each
Participant the right to exercise their Award as to all or any part of the Shares subject to the Award, including Shares as to which the Award would not otherwise be exercisable. 
 c. Merger or Asset Sale 
 Except as
otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, in the event of a proposed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the merger of the Company with or into another entity, each outstanding Award will be assumed or an equivalent
Award substituted by such successor entity or a Parent or Subsidiary of such successor entity, unless the Administrator determines, in the exercise of its sole discretion and in lieu of such assumption or substitution, that each Participant will
have the right to exercise the Participant’s Award as to all or any part of the Shares subject to the Award, including Shares as to which the Award would not otherwise be exercisable. If the Administrator determines that an Award will be
exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the Administrator will notify the Participant that the Award will be so exercisable for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of such notice or
such shorter period as the Administrator may specify in the notice, and the Award will terminate upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Award will be considered assumed or substituted if, following the merger or
sale of assets, the Award confers the right to purchase, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the merger or sale of assets, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or sale
of assets by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares);
provided, however, that if such consideration received in the merger or sale of assets was not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, 

  

					
	 PLANAR SYSTEMS, INC.
 2007 NEW HIRE INCENTIVE PLAN
	 	 12
	 	

 
with the consent of the successor entity, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Award, for each Share subject to the Award,
to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent substantially equal in Fair Market Value to the per Share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or sale of assets. The determination of such substantial
equality of value of consideration will be made by the Administrator and its determination will be conclusive and binding. 
 13.
SECURITIES LAW REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATION OF RIGHTS 
 a. Federal Securities Law 
 No Shares will be issued pursuant to the Plan unless and until the Company has determined that: (i) it and the Participant have taken all actions
required to register the Shares under the Securities Act of 1933 or perfect an exemption from registration; (ii) any applicable listing requirement of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed has been satisfied; and (iii) any
other applicable provision of state or federal law has been satisfied. 
 b. Employment Rights 
 Neither the Plan nor any Award granted under the Plan will be deemed to give any individual a right to remain employed by the Company or an Affiliate or
to remain a Director. The Company and its Affiliates reserve the right to terminate the employment of any Employee at any time, with or without cause or for no cause, subject only to a written employment contract (if any). 
 c. Shareholders’ Rights 
 A
Participant will have no dividend rights, voting rights or other rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares covered by his or her Award prior to the issuance of a stock certificate for such Shares. No adjustment will be made for cash
dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date when such certificate is issued. 
 14. BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

 Participants may designate on the prescribed form one or more Beneficiaries to whom distribution will be made of any Award outstanding
at the time of the Participant’s or Beneficiary’s death. A Participant may change such designation at any time by filing a new form with the Administrator. If a Participant has not designated a Beneficiary or if no designated Beneficiary
survives the Participant, distribution will be made to the residuary beneficiary under the terms of the Participant’s last will and testament or, in the absence of a last will and testament, to the Participant’s estate as Beneficiary.

 15. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN 
 a. Amendment and Termination 
 The Board may amend, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan at any time in such respects
as the Board may deem advisable. 
  

					
	 PLANAR SYSTEMS, INC.
 2007 NEW HIRE INCENTIVE PLAN
	 	 13
	 	

 b. Effect of Amendment or Termination 
 Any such amendment or termination of the Plan will not affect Awards already granted, and such Awards will remain in full force and effect as if this Plan
had not been amended or terminated, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Administrator. 
 16. WITHHOLDING TAXES 
 a. General

 To the extent required by applicable law, the Participant exercising or vesting in any Award granted under the Plan or the recipient of
any payment or distribution under the Plan will make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any applicable withholding tax obligations. The Company will not be required to make such payment or distribution until such
obligations are satisfied. 
 b. Other Awards 
 The Administrator may permit a Participant who exercises Options, vests in Restricted Stock Awards or vests in Shares issued pursuant to a Restricted Stock Unit Award to satisfy all or part of his or her withholding
tax obligations by having the Company withhold a portion of the Shares that otherwise would be issued to him or her under such Options, Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Awards. Such Shares will be valued at the Fair Market Value on the day
when taxes otherwise would be withheld in cash. The payment of withholding taxes by surrendering Shares to the Company, if permitted by the Administrator, will be subject to such restrictions as the Administrator may impose, including any
restrictions required by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. 
 17. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS 
 The Plan will be binding upon the Company, its successors and assigns, and any Parent of the Company’s successors or assigns. Notwithstanding that
the Plan may be binding upon a successor or assign by operation of law, the Company will require any successor or assign to expressly assume and agree to be bound by the Plan in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be if no
succession or assignment had taken place. 
 18. TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS 
 No Award issued under this Plan may be sold, exchanged, transferred (including, without limitation, any transfer to a nominee or agent of a Participant),
assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise required by applicable law, unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement. Any unauthorized transfer of an Award will
be void. Any authorized transferee will be subject to all of the terms and conditions applicable to a Participant transferring an Award or Shares issued under this Plan, including, but not limited to, the terms and conditions set forth in this Plan
and the applicable Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a

	 	 14
	 	

 
third party who, in the event of the death of the Participant, will thereafter be entitled to exercise applicable rights under an Award Agreement as
described in Section 14. 
 19. EXECUTION 
 To record the adoption of the Plan effective September 14, 2007, the Company has caused its authorized officer to execute the same.

	 	 15Separation and General Release Agreement between Nektar and Timothy Harkness

 Exhibit 10.1 
 SEPARATION AND GENERAL RELEASE AGREEMENT 
 In exchange for the terms, conditions and releases
set forth below, Nektar Therapeutics (“Nektar” or the “Company”) and Tim Harkness (“you”) hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Effective Date. This Agreement will become effective on the eighth day after you sign and deliver this Agreement to the Company (the
“Effective Date”), provided that you do not revoke this Agreement before such date pursuant to Paragraph 7(c) below. 
 2. Termination of Employment. Your employment as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, as well as your employment in any other capacity for the Company or any of its affiliates, shall terminate,
effective December 10, 2007 (the “Termination Date”). Following the Termination Date, you shall not be authorized to transact any business on behalf of the Company or any its affiliates or subsidiaries. 
 3. Consideration. Provided that you comply with all of the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall provide you with the following
severance benefits (the “Severance Benefits”): (a) the Company will make a severance payment to you within three (3) business days following the Effective Date in the amount of $385,000.00, less all applicable
withholdings and standard deductions (the “First Severance Payment”); (b) the Company will also make monthly severance payments to you in the amount of $27,500.00, less all applicable withholdings and standard
deductions (the “Monthly Severance Payment”) commencing on the one month anniversary of the Effective Date and continuing on each one-month anniversary of the Effective Date and ending on the twelve month anniversary of the
Effective Date; provided, however, following the first two (2) Monthly Severance Payments, you shall not be paid, and instead will accrue, the Monthly Severance Payments until the first business day following the six month anniversary of the
Effective Date when all previously accrued but unpaid Monthly Severance Payment will be paid to you, and thereafter, you will be paid Monthly Severance Payments on or before each monthly anniversary of the Effective Date; and provided, further that
(except as set forth in the next parenthetical phrase) you shall cease accruing or being entitled to receive Monthly Severance Payments on the earlier to occur of (i) the date you commence new employment; or (ii) on the one-year
anniversary of the Effective Date (it being understood that if you obtain new employment during the one year period after the Termination Date, you will be entitled to a proportionate payment at the next regularly scheduled payment date, in respect
of the Monthly Severance Payments, based on the number of days elapsed since the Termination Date until the date you obtain such new employment; thus, for example, if you obtain employment on the 95th day after the Termination Date, you will receive
a Monthly Severance Payment on the six month anniversary of the Termination Date, equal to $27,500 x 12 x 95/360, less amounts previously paid to you, i.e., the first two Monthly Severance Payments described above); (c) in accordance with your
offer letter, dated August 9, 2007 (the “Offer Letter”) and as set forth below in Paragraph 17, you shall become immediately vested in those shares of the Company’s common stock that would have vested pursuant to
your Option (as such term is defined below in Paragraph 17) as if your Option allowed monthly vesting during your first year of your employment with the Company; and (d) in accordance with your Offer Letter and as set forth below in Paragraph
17, your deadline to exercise your right to acquire the shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the vested portion of your Option will be extended to the twelve month anniversary of the Termination Date; and (e) provided that you
timely exercise 

  

 -1- 

 
your right to continue your health insurance coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), the
Company will pay the monthly health insurance coverage payments for you and your eligible dependents for a period commencing on the Termination Date and ending on the earlier to occur of (i) the twelve month anniversary of the Termination Date,
and (b) the date you become eligible to receive health insurance coverage from a subsequent employer. You shall notify the Company promptly upon accepting employment with any other person or entity, but no later than three calendar days prior
to commencing such employment, and at the same time, you shall notify the Company whether you are eligible to receive health coverage in connection with such employment. You acknowledge that the Severance Benefits represent payments that you would
not otherwise be entitled to receive, now or in the future, without entering into this Agreement, and constitutes valuable consideration for the promises and undertakings set forth in this Agreement. 
 4. Payment of Salary and Expenses. On your Termination Date, the Company will pay to you all accrued and unpaid salary and any accrued but
unused paid time off as of the Termination Date (collectively, the “Accrued Obligations”). In the event that you have a negative paid time off balance, you agree that such amount will be deducted from the Company’s
payment to you of your Accrued Obligations. By signing below, you acknowledge and represent that, upon receiving the Accrued Obligations, you will have received all salary, wages, bonuses, accrued vacation and paid time off, and all other benefits
and compensation due to you through the Termination Date. You agree that, within ten (10) days after the Termination Date, you will submit your final documented expense reimbursement statement reflecting all business expenses you incurred
through the Termination Date, if any, for which you seek reimbursement. The Company will reimburse you for these expenses pursuant to its regular business practice. 
 5. Return of Property; Proprietary Information Agreement. Within five days following the Termination Date, you shall return to the Company any and all Company property, including, but not limited to,
documents (in whatever paper or electronic form they exist), things relating to the business of the Company and all intellectual, electronic and physical property belonging to the Company that is in your possession or control, including but not
limited to any emails, documents, power point presentations, business plans, financial plans, personnel information and/or financial statements belonging to the Company or that contain confidential information of the Company. Your signature below
constitutes your certification that you have returned all documents and other items provided to you by the Company, developed or obtained by you as a result of your employment with the Company, or otherwise belonging to the Company. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, you may keep your computer and your cellular telephone (and corresponding telephone number for your personal use) and the Company will provide to you reasonable IT assistance in transitioning your calendar and contacts information
from the Company’s network to your personal system; provided, however, you will, at the earliest practicable date, deliver your computer to the Company’s IT department for the purpose of creating a mirror data back-up copy for the
Company’s archival records. You hereby reaffirm and agree to observe and abide by the terms of your Employment Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with the Company, specifically including the provisions therein
regarding assignment of inventions, nondisclosure of the Company’s trade secrets and confidential and proprietary information, and non-solicitation of Company employees. The obligations under the Employment Agreement that survive the
termination of your employment are specifically incorporated herein by reference.

 6. Release of Claims. You agree that the foregoing consideration represents settlement in
full of all outstanding obligations owed to you by the Company and its officers, directors, agents and employees, and is satisfactory consideration for the release of claims set forth herein. On behalf of yourself, and your respective heirs, family
members, executors and assigns, you hereby fully and forever release the Company and its past and present subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their past, present and future officers, agents, directors, employees, investors, stockholders,

secrets, a breach of fiduciary duty that you would not otherwise be entitled to indemnification by the Company under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, theft, embezzlement and/or other crimes committed by you, the Company
hereby covenants not to sue and fully releases and discharges you from and with respect to any and all claims, agreements, obligations, demands and causes of action, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, including without limitation those

voluntary. You and the Company agree that this waiver and release does not apply to any rights or claims that may arise under the ADEA after the Effective Date of this Agreement. You acknowledge that the consideration given for this waiver and

 (a) you should consult with an attorney prior to executing this Agreement; 
 (b) you have at least twenty-one (21) days within which to consider this Agreement;

 (d) this Agreement shall not be effective until the eighth day after you execute and do not revoke this Agreement; and

waiver under the ADEA, nor does it impose any condition precedent, penalties or costs from doing so, unless specifically authorized by federal law. 
 8. Civil Code Section 1542/Unknown Claims. Each party represents that such party is not aware of any claims against the other party other than the claims that are released by this Agreement. Each party acknowledges that
such party has had the opportunity to be advised by legal counsel and is familiar with the provisions of California Civil Code 1542, below, which provides as follows: 
 A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED

thereunder, as well as under any statute or common law principles of similar effect.

intend to bring any claims on such party’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity against the other party or any of the Releasees. You also promise to opt out of any class or representative action and to take such other steps as
you have the power to take to disassociate yourself from any class or representative action seeking relief against the Company and/or any other Releasee regarding any of the claims released in this Agreement. 
 10. Confidentiality of Agreement. You agree to keep the existence and terms of this Agreement in the strictest confidence and, except as
required by law, not reveal the existence or terms of this Agreement to any persons except your immediate family, your attorney, and your financial advisors (and to them only provided that they also agree to keep the information completely
confidential), and the court in any proceedings to enforce the terms of this Agreement. 
 11. Non-Disparagement. Each party
agrees not to make any oral or written statement that disparages or criticizes the other party, and in your case, the Company’s management, employees, products or services, or damages the other party’s reputation or impairs the other
party’s normal operations; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit either party from providing truthful information or testimony in response to any court order, subpoena, or government investigation, or in connection
with any legal proceeding between the Company and you. For the purposes of this Section 11, the reference to the Company as a party to this Agreement includes only the Company’s Section 16(b) officers and the members of its Board of
Directors. 
 12. Entire Agreement. Except for the Employment Agreement and Equity Award Agreements, the terms of which are
specifically incorporated herein as set forth herein in Paragraphs 5 and 17, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and the Company concerning your employment with and separation from the Company and all the events leading

(b) an acknowledgment or admission by such party of any fault or liability whatsoever to the other party or to any third party. 
  

 -5- 

 14. Authority. The Company represents and warrants that the undersigned has the authority
to act on behalf of the Company and to bind the Company and all who may claim through it to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Similarly, you represent and warrant that you have the capacity to act on your own behalf and on behalf of all
who might claim through you to bind them to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Company and you each warrant and represent that there are no liens or claims of lien or assignments in law or equity or otherwise of or against any of the
claims or causes of action released herein. 
 15. Solicitation of Employees. You agree that for a period of twelve
(12) months immediately following the Termination Date, you shall not either directly or indirectly solicit, induce, recruit or encourage any of the Company’s employees to terminate their employment with the Company, or attempt to solicit,
induce, recruit, or encourage employees of the Company to become employed or engaged as a consultant, either for yourself or for any other person or entity. Furthermore, you understand and acknowledge that the Company may at its sole discretion
notify any new employer of your ongoing rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Employment Agreement. 
 16. Material
Breaches of Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that any breach of Paragraphs 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, or 15 shall constitute a material breach of the Agreement and in the case of a breach by you, shall entitle the Company immediately to recover the
consideration discussed in Paragraph 3 above, except as provided by law. In the event that the Company or you brings an action to enforce or effect their rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover their reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with such an action. 
 17. Equity Interests. The Company has
previously granted an option to you to acquire 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Options”) and a restricted stock unit for 10,000 shares (the “RSU”). Prior to entering into this
Agreement you did not have any vested right to acquire any of the shares underlying the Options or RSU. In accordance with the terms of your Offer Letter and subject to the terms of Paragraph 3 above, as of the Effective Date, you shall become
immediately vested in 12,500 shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Options (the “Vested Option Shares”), which represent those shares that would have vested as of the Termination Date if you were entitled
to monthly vesting of your Options during the first year of your employment. Your deadline to exercise your right to acquire all or any portion of the Vested Option Shares shall be extended to the one year anniversary of the Termination Date. The
remaining 187,500 shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Options and all of the shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the RSU are hereby forfeited by you in accordance with the terms of your stock option agreement
and related stock option notice, and your RSU Agreement and related RSU notice and the Company’s 2000 Equity Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Equity Award Agreements”). You hereby acknowledge and waive that, except as
set forth in this Paragraph 17, you have no further right or benefits under any agreement to receive or acquire any security or derivative security in or with respect to the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries. 
 18. Waivers; Modifications. No waiver of any provision or consent to any exception to the terms of this Agreement shall be effective unless
in writing and signed by the party to be bound and, then, only to the specific purpose, extent and instance so provided. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, altered or supplemented except by the execution and delivery of a written agreement
executed by you and an authorized representative of the Company. 
  

 -6- 

 19. Severability. If any provision of the Agreement or the application thereof is held
invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the Agreement which can be given effect without the invalid provisions or application. 
 20. Counterparts. The Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and each counterpart when executed shall have the efficacy of a signed original. Photographic copies of such signed counterparts may be
used in lieu of the originals for any purpose. 
 21. Choice of Law. The Agreement shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of California. 
 22. Public Statements. In its public statements
regarding your departure, the Company will state only that: “Tim Harkness has left the Company.” 
 23. Voluntary Execution

this Agreement; (b) they understand the terms and consequences of this Agreement and of the releases it contains; and (c) they are fully aware of the legal and binding effect of this Agreement.
