Exhibit 10.1

AVALARA, INC. 
OUTSIDE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION POLICY

 

(Amended and restated as of July 25, 2019)

 

Cash Compensation.  Under the outside director compensation policy of Avalara, Inc. (the “Company”), all non-employee directors will be entitled to receive the following cash compensation, which shall be paid in arrears in equal quarterly installments for services rendered during each quarter of the calendar year and shall be due and payable as soon as practicable after the first day of the quarter immediately following the quarter in which such services are rendered (i.e., as soon as practicable after January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1) and pro-rated to reflect the actual number of days served during such quarter:

Equity Compensation.  Under the outside director compensation policy, on the date of each annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders, beginning with the 2019 annual meeting of shareholders, each non‐employee director who is a continuing director following the meeting automatically will be granted an equity award having a value of $150,000 (the “annual award”).  

 

The annual award will be comprised of stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) granted under the Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan, as may be amended and restated from time to time (the “2018 Plan”), each having a grant date fair value of approximately 50% of the aggregate value of the annual award (with any resulting fractional shares rounded down to the nearest whole share).  The grant date fair value of the stock options and RSUs will be calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 718 (based on the valuation methodology then used by the Company to value stock options and RSUs for financial reporting purposes).  Each annual award will fully vest and become exercisable or payable, as applicable, upon the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the grant date or the day prior to the Company’s next annual meeting of shareholders occurring after the grant date (the “vesting date”), in each case subject to the individual’s continued service through the vesting date, except as permitted below.  Each annual award will fully vest and become exercisable or payable, as applicable, upon a change in control, as defined in the 2018 Plan. 

 

The per share exercise price for stock options will be equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date (or if the common stock is not trading on that date, the closing price on the last preceding date on which the common stock was traded).  Each stock option will expire ten years from the grant date, subject to earlier termination as set forth in the 2018 Plan upon a termination of service.

 

 

 

For annual awards made on or after the 2019 annual meeting of shareholders, in the event a non‐employee director’s service terminates for any reason other than for cause, as defined in the 2018 Plan, prior to the vesting date of an annual award and the non-employee director has served less than five continuous years as a director, the annual award will become vested as to a pro rata portion based on the number of full months of service that has elapsed between the grant date of the annual award and the director’s termination date.  In the event a non-employee director’s service terminates for any reason other than for cause on or after five years of continuous service, the annual award will become fully vested.  In the event of such termination, the vested portion of the annual RSUs will be payable as soon as practicable on or following the vesting date for the annual awards that next follows the non-employee director’s termination (but in any event within 75 days of the vesting date).  In the event of termination for cause, no portion of the annual award will accelerate in vesting.

 

In the event that a non‐employee director is initially elected or appointed on any date other than the date of an annual meeting of shareholders, the director will, instead, automatically receive the annual award on the date of initial election or appointment, except that the value of the award will be prorated to reflect the number of days that the director will serve based on a period of time commencing on the date of initial election or appointment and ending on the one-year anniversary of the previous annual meeting (the “prorated annual award”).  In all other respects, the terms and conditions of the prorated annual award, including the vesting schedule, will be the same as the annual award granted on the previous year’s annual meeting date.

You will report directly to the Chief Executive Officer, Christian  Ulbrich, and be a member of the Global Executive Board (GEB).      Your new assignment will be effective October 1, 2019.    Annual Base Salary  Your new base salary is $500,000 per annum, effective October 1, 2019, payable every other Friday in  arrears less applicable payroll deductions. Your Base Salary will remain in effect through December 31,  2019, after which it will be subject to consideration by the Compensation Committee in accordance with  the procedures it follows. We do not guarantee any base salary increases.    GEB Incentive Payments    You will be rewarded according to the GEB Annual Incentive Plan design and the GEB Long-Term  Incentive Plan design. Your aggregate annualized incentive target is US $4,500,000, which is pro-rated in  2019 effective October 1, 2019 for the Annual Incentive Plan. The annualized incentive target will be  allocated to the GEB Annual and Long-term Incentive Plans as follows:           Year                 Annual Incentive Plan Bonus Long-Term Incentive Plan                             Allocation               Award Allocation        2019                 55%                      45%        2020                 50%                      50%        2021                 45%                      55%        2022                 40%                      60%    Annual Incentive Plan  Any Annual Incentive Plan bonus will be based on the following: (1) performance against specific  individual objectives (MyPerformance), as assessed by your manager, (2) your business unit  performance, and (2) JLL’s firm-wide performance. A consideration of these factors and others may lead  to you receiving more than, less than or none, of the target bonus amount. Bonuses are considered  annually and typically paid in March. To earn and be paid an Annual Bonus, individuals must be  employed by JLL on the date that annual bonuses are paid. If you leave JLL voluntarily for any reason  before the date that bonuses are paid or if your employment is terminated for cause in our discretion, you                                         1               

 

will not be paid any part of your Annual Bonus, pro rata or otherwise.   For qualifying separations, you  will be entitled to the GEB severance benefits which also apply to other GEB members. A copy of the  current Plan can be provided to you.  JLL reserves the right to alter the GEB Annual Incentive Plan from  time to time in its discretion, which may include target award changes.      Long-Term Incentive Plan  The Long-Term Incentive Plan award is delivered in Performance Share Units (“PSU’s”) which vest after  3 years and is contingent on achieving performance conditions. Your first grant will occur by October 15,  2019.  Your actual award will be based on JLL’s firm-wide performance and the collective performance  against Beyond Goals. A consideration of these factors and others may lead to you receiving more than, less  than or none of the target award amount.  JLL reserves the right to alter the GEB Long-Term Incentive Plan  from time to time in its discretion, which may include target award changes and equity vehicles.          One-Time Stock Grant  You will be given a one-time grant of Restricted Stock Units (“RSU’s”) in the amount of $2,500,000 by  October 15, 2019. The number of shares will be determined by the fair market value of JLL stock on the  date of the grant and will be governed by the terms of the grant agreement. The shares will vest ratably  over three years.    Additional Stock    You are eligible for four $5,000,000 stock grants based on reaching thresholds of $250 million, $500  million, $1billion and $2 billion in JLL Technologies fee revenue based on a trailing 12 months  measurement period.  You must be an employee of the Company when the thresholds are met to be eligible  for this additional stock award.  The stock vehicle will be determined prior to grant and will vest ratably  over three years. The number of shares will be determined by the fair market value of JLL stock on the  date of the grant and will be governed by the terms of the grant agreement. JLL Technologies fee revenue  shall include:             -  Fee revenue, as defined and applied by JLL as of the inception of this employment            contract, earned and recognized by businesses under the direct leadership responsibility of            Mihir Shah and Yishai Lerner (collectively, the “JLL Technologies Portfolio”).                 -  Fee revenue represents revenue recognized in accordance with U.S. generally accepted            accounting principles less costs incurred on behalf of JLL clients which are directly            reimbursed by JLL clients or indirectly reimbursed through the fees JLL earned,            specifically costs associated with client-dedicated employees as well as third-party vendors            and subcontractors.                 -  To the extent JLL’s definition and application of fee revenue changes during the term of            this employment contract, the definition of fee revenue as of the date of this employment            contract will continue to apply for the duration of the performance measurement period.                  -  For avoidance of doubt, only JLL Technologies Revenue attributable to the period in which            a business or activity is within the JLL Technologies Portfolio will be included for            measurement of performance for purposes of this employment contract.                 -  As of the date of this employment contract, the following four businesses comprise the JLL            Technologies Portfolio:         -                                           2

Investment Participation in Venture Capital Funds  We acknowledge that you have interests in the July 25, 2018 entities - JLL Spark Global Ventures Fund I,  LP and JLL Spark Partners I GP, LLC and the August 9, 2019 entities – JLL Spark Global Ventures Fund  II, LP and JLL Spark Partners II GP, LLC.

These requirements are subject  to change based on the normal review process with the Compensation Committee.    Directors and Officers Insurance and By-Law Indemnification.
