Whereas,
Executive currently serves as the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Company; and

 

Whereas,
the Parties desire to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which Executive will continue to serve as the Founder and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company, effective as of the date upon which the registration statement on Form S-1 that is filed by the Company is
declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Effective Date").

 

Now,
Therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.            Employment
by the Company.

 

1.1            Position.
Executive shall continue to serve as the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Company as of the Effective Date.

 

1.2            Duties
and Location. Executive shall perform such duties, consistent with his position as the Founder and Chief Executive Officer
of the Company, as are required by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"). Executive shall report directly
to the Board. Executive's primary office location shall be the Company's office located in New York, New York, subject to any remote working
policies of the Company applicable to Executive and any applicable business travel.

 

1.3            Policies
and Procedures. The employment relationship between the Parties shall be governed by the general employment policies, procedures
and practices of the Company, except that when the terms of this Agreement differ from or are in conflict with the Company's general employment
policies or practices, this Agreement shall control.

 

2.            Base
Salary. Effective as of the Effective Date, Executive shall receive a base salary of $1 per year (the "Base Salary").
The Base Salary shall be subject to periodic review by the Compensation Committee of the Board, although it is not presently intended
that the Base Salary will be modified prior to the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date.

 

     

     

    

 

 

 

3.            Company
Benefits. Executive shall continue to be entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans and programs of the Company for which
Executive is eligible that may be in effect from time to time. The Company reserves the right to cancel or change any of these benefit
plans or programs at any time. In addition to the standard employee benefit plans and programs, Executive shall be eligible during Executive's
employment with the Company to receive such Company-paid security services as the Company and Executive mutually agree are necessary or
advisable for the safety and protection of Executive and his family members.

 

4.            At-Will
Employment. Executive's employment relationship is at-will. Either Executive or the Company may terminate the employment relationship
at any time, with or without cause or advance notice, except that Executive shall provide the Board with at least 180 days of advance
written notice prior to any voluntary termination of his employment.

 

5.            Proprietary
Information Obligations. As a condition of his continued employment with the Company, Executive shall execute and abide by the Company's
Employee Invention Assignment and Confidentiality Agreement (the "Confidentiality Agreement"), attached hereto as Exhibit A.

 

6.            Outside
Activities During Employment.

 

6.1            During
Executive's employment with the Company, Executive will devote Executive's best efforts and substantially all of Executive's business
time and attention to the business of the Company; provided that Executive may (a) engage in private investment activities on behalf
of himself and his family, (b) serve as a director or advisor of non-profit organizations, (c) perform and participate in charitable,
civic, educational, professional, community, industry affairs and other related activities, and (d) subject to prior written Board
approval, serve as a member of the board of directors (including any committees thereof) of up to two (2) for-profit companies (collectively,
the "Outside Activities").

 

6.2            Notwithstanding
the foregoing, during the term of Executive's employment with the Company, Executive will not (a) undertake or engage in any activity,
including any Outside Activity, that is either directly or indirectly competitive to the Company or that unreasonably interferes with
the performance of Executive’s duties and responsibilities to the Company; or (b) acquire, assume or participate in, directly
or indirectly, any position, investment or interest known to be adverse or antagonistic to the Company, its business or prospects, financial
or otherwise.

 

7.            Dispute
Resolution. Executive and the Company agree that any and all legal disputes, claims, or causes of action arising from or relating
to: (i) Executive's employment with the Company, Executive's performance of services for the Company, or the termination of Executive's
employment with the Company or (ii) the enforcement, breach, performance, construction, execution, or interpretation of this Agreement,
the Confidentiality Agreement, including but not limited to statutory claims, will be resolved exclusively, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, through final, binding and confidential arbitration before a single arbitrator, in the New York, New York area, or as otherwise
agreed by the Company and Executive, conducted by JAMS, Inc. ("JAMS") under the then-applicable JAMS rules (available
at: https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-employment). By agreeing to submit to mandatory and binding arbitration, both Executive and the Company
waive the right to resolve any such dispute through a trial by jury or judge or administrative proceeding. Executive will have the right
to be represented by legal counsel at any arbitration proceeding. The arbitrator shall: (a) have the authority to compel adequate
discovery for the resolution of the dispute and to award such relief as would otherwise be permitted by law; and (b) issue a written
arbitration decision, to include the arbitrator's essential findings and conclusions and a statement of the award, which shall be final,
conclusive and binding on all parties. The arbitrator shall be authorized to award any or all remedies that Executive or the Company would
be entitled to seek in a court of law. The Company shall pay for the fees and expenses of the arbitrator and all other expenses of the
arbitration that would not normally be incurred if the action were brought in a court of law, but each party shall bear its own other
costs and attorney's fees. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to prevent either Executive or the Company from obtaining injunctive
relief in court to prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion of any such arbitration. Any awards or orders in such arbitrations
may be entered and enforced as judgments in the federal and state courts of any competent jurisdiction. Executive and the Company further
agree that each party will maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and the award, including but not limited to
the hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary
in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise
required by law or judicial decision.

 

     

     

    

 

 

 

8.            General
Provisions.

 

8.1            Notices.
Any notices provided must be in writing and will be deemed effective upon the earlier of personal delivery (including personal delivery
by email) or the next day after sending by overnight carrier, to the Company at its primary office location and to Executive at the address
as listed on the Company payroll.

 

8.2            Severability.
Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in
any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this
Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction to the extent possible in keeping with the intent of the parties.

 

8.3            Waiver.
Any waiver of any breach of any provisions of this Agreement must be in writing to be effective, and it shall not thereby be deemed to
have waived any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other provision of this Agreement.

 

     

     

    

 

 

 

8.4            Complete
Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Confidentiality Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement between Executive
and the Company with regard to this subject matter and is the complete, final, and exclusive embodiment of the Parties' agreement with
regard to this subject matter. This Agreement is entered into without reliance on any promise or representation, written or oral, other

reliance on any promise or representation other than those expressly contained herein, and it cannot be modified or amended except in
a writing signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company or member of the Board and Executive.

 

8.5            Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, any one of which need not contain signatures of more than one party, but all
of which taken together will constitute one and the same Agreement.

The headings of the paragraphs hereof are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof nor to affect
the meaning thereof.

 

8.7            Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive and the Company,
and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators, except that Executive may not assign any of Executive's
duties hereunder and Executive may not assign any of Executive's rights hereunder without the written consent of the Company.

 

8.8            Tax
Withholding and Indemnification. All payments and awards contemplated or made pursuant to this Agreement will be subject to
withholdings of applicable taxes in compliance with all relevant laws and regulations of all appropriate government authorities. Executive

2017
Equity Incentive Plan

Performance Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement

 

Pursuant
to the Performance Restricted Stock Unit Grant Notice (the “Grant Notice”) and this Performance Restricted
Stock Unit Award Agreement and Exhibit A hereto (the “Agreement”), Squarespace, Inc. (the “Company”)
has awarded you (“Participant”) a Performance Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Award”)
pursuant to the Company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”) for the
total number of PRSUs indicated in the Grant Notice. Capitalized terms not explicitly defined in this Agreement or the Grant Notice shall
have the same meanings given to them in the Plan. The terms of your Award, in addition to those set forth in the Grant Notice, are as
follows.

 

1.           Grant
of the Award. This Award represents the right to be issued on a future date one (1) share of Common Stock for each
PRSU that vests on the applicable vesting date(s) (subject to any adjustment under Section 3 below) as indicated in the Grant
Notice. As of the Date of Grant, the Company will credit to a bookkeeping account maintained by the Company for your benefit (the “Account”)
the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company reserves the right to issue you
the cash equivalent of Common Stock, in part or in full satisfaction of the delivery of Common Stock in connection with the vesting of
the Restricted Stock Units, and, to the extent applicable, references in this Agreement and the Grant Notice to Common Stock issuable
in connection with your Restricted Stock Units will include the potential issuance of its cash equivalent pursuant to such right. This
Award was granted in consideration of your services to the Company.

 

2.           Vesting.
Subject to the limitations contained herein, your Award will vest, if at all, in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth on Exhibit A
hereto.

 

3.           Number
of Shares. The number of PRSUs subject to your Award may be adjusted from time to time for Capitalization Adjustments,
as provided in the Plan. Any additional PRSUs, shares, cash or other property that becomes subject to the Award pursuant to this Section 3,
if any, shall be subject, in a manner determined by the Board, to the same forfeiture restrictions, restrictions on transferability, and
time and manner of delivery as applicable to the other PRSUs and shares covered by your Award. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 3, no fractional shares or rights for fractional shares of Common Stock shall be created pursuant to this Section 3.
Any fraction of a share will be rounded down to the nearest whole share.

 

4.           Securities
Law Compliance. You may not be issued any Common Stock under the Award unless the shares of Common Stock underlying
the PRSUs are either (i) then registered under the Securities Act, or (ii) the Company has determined that such issuance would
be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Your Award must also comply with other applicable laws and regulations
governing the Award, and you shall not receive such Common Stock if the Company determines that such receipt would not be in material
compliance with such laws and regulations.

 

5.           Transfer
Restrictions. Prior to the time that shares of Common Stock have been delivered to you, you may not transfer, pledge,
sell or otherwise dispose of this Award or the shares issuable in respect of your Award. For example, you may not use shares that may
be issued in respect of your PRSUs as security for a loan. The restrictions on transfer set forth herein will lapse upon delivery to you
of shares in respect of your vested PRSUs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, your Award is transferable by will and by the laws of descent
and distribution.

 

    

     

    

 

6.           Date
of Issuance. Any shares of Common Stock in respect of the PRSUs that become vested in accordance with this Agreement
and Exhibit A hereto will be delivered to you on or as soon as practicable after the date on which such shares become vested,
but in no event later than March 15 of the year following the year in which such vesting occurs. The form of delivery (e.g.,
a stock certificate or electronic entry evidencing such shares) shall be determined by the Company.

 

7.           Dividends.
You shall receive no benefit or adjustment to the PRSUs with respect to any cash dividend, stock dividend or other distribution that does
not result from a Capitalization Adjustment; provided, however, that this sentence will not apply with respect to any shares of Common
Stock that are issued to you following vesting of the PRSUs in accordance with Section 6.

 

8.           Execution
of Documents. You hereby acknowledge and agree that the manner selected by the Company by which you indicate your consent
to your Grant Notice is also deemed to be your execution of your Grant Notice and of this Agreement. You further agree that such manner
of indicating consent may be relied upon as your signature for establishing your execution of any documents to be executed in the future
in connection with your Award.

 

9.           Award
Not a Service Contract.

 

(a)          Nothing
in this Agreement (including, but not limited to, the vesting of your Award or the issuance of the shares in respect of your Award), the
Plan or any covenant of good faith and fair dealing that may be found implicit in this Agreement or the Plan shall: (i) confer upon
you any right to continue in the employ or service of, or affiliation with, the Company or an Affiliate; (ii) constitute any promise
or commitment by the Company or an Affiliate regarding the fact or nature of future positions, future work assignments, future compensation
or any other term or condition of employment or affiliation; (iii) confer any right or benefit under this Agreement or the Plan unless
such right or benefit has specifically accrued under the terms of this Agreement or Plan; or (iv) deprive the Company of the right
to terminate you at will and without regard to any future vesting opportunity that you may have.

 

(b)          By
accepting this Award, you acknowledge and agree that you continue as an employee, director or consultant at the will of the Company and
its Affiliates, as applicable (not through the act of being hired, being granted this Award or any other award or benefit) and that the
Company has the right to reorganize, sell, spin-out or otherwise restructure one or more of its businesses or Affiliates at any time or
from time to time, as it deems appropriate (a “reorganization”). You acknowledge and agree that such a reorganization
could result in the termination of your Continuous Service, or the termination of Affiliate status of your employer and the loss of benefits
available to you under this Agreement, including but not limited to, the termination of the right to continue vesting in the Award. You
further acknowledge and agree that this Agreement, the Plan, the transactions contemplated hereunder and the vesting schedule set forth
herein or any covenant of good faith and fair dealing that may be found implicit in any of them do not constitute an express or implied
promise of continued engagement as an employee or consultant for the term of this Agreement, for any period, or at all, and shall not
interfere in any way with the Company’s right to terminate your Continuous Service at any time, with or without your cause or notice,
or to conduct a reorganization.

 

    

     

    

 

10.        Withholding
Obligation.

 

(a)          The
Company may, in its sole discretion, satisfy any federal, state, local or foreign tax withholding obligation relating to this Award by
any of the following means or by a combination of such means (the “Withholding Obligation”): (i) causing
you to tender a cash payment; (ii) withholding shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock issued or otherwise issuable
to you in connection with the Award; provided, that the number of shares of Common Stock which may be so withheld or surrendered shall
be limited to the number of shares of Common Stock which have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding in such amount that will
not cause adverse accounting consequences for the Company and its Affiliates and is permitted under applicable withholding rules promulgated
by the Internal Revenue Service or another governmental entity; (iii) withholding cash from an Award settled in cash; (iv) withholding
payment from any amounts otherwise payable to you; and/or (v) permitting or requiring you to enter into a “same day sale”
commitment, if applicable, with a broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (a “FINRA
Dealer”), pursuant to this authorization and without further consent, whereby you irrevocably elect to sell a portion of
the shares to be delivered in connection with your Restricted Stock Units to satisfy the Withholding Obligation and whereby the FINRA
Dealer irrevocably commits to forward the proceeds necessary to satisfy the Withholding Obligation directly to the Company and/or its
Affiliates. Unless the Withholding Obligation is satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver to you any Common Stock or
any other consideration pursuant to this Award.

 

(b)            In
the event it is determined after the delivery of Common Stock to you that the amount of the Withholding Obligation was greater than the
amount withheld by the Company, you agree to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any failure by the Company to withhold the proper
amount.

 

11.        Tax
Consequences. The Company has no duty or obligation to minimize the tax consequences to you of this Award and shall
not be liable to you for any adverse tax consequences to you arising in connection with this Award. You are hereby advised to consult
with your own personal tax, financial and/or legal advisors regarding the tax consequences of this Award and by signing the Grant Notice,
you have agreed that you have done so or knowingly and voluntarily declined to do so. You understand that you (and not the Company) shall
be responsible for your own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

12.        Unsecured
Obligation. Your Award is unfunded and you shall be considered an unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to
the Company’s obligation, if any, to issue shares or other property pursuant to this Agreement. You shall not have voting or any
other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement until such shares are
issued to you pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement. Upon such issuance, you will obtain all applicable rights as a stockholder
of the Company with respect to such shares. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall
create or be construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between you and the Company or any other person.

 

    

     

    

 

13.        Notice.
All notices, requests, demands, claims and other communications with respect to this Award shall be in writing (including electronically)
and shall be deemed given if delivered by certified or registered mail (first class postage prepaid), guaranteed overnight delivery or
email transmission, to the following address (or to such other addresses which the Company shall designate in writing to you from time
to time):

14.         Headings.
The headings of the Sections in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part of this
Agreement or to affect the meaning of this Agreement.

 

15.        Miscellaneous.

 

(a)          The
rights and obligations of the Company under your Award shall be transferable by the Company to any one or more persons or entities, and
all covenants and agreements hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Company’s successors and assigns.

 

(b)          You
agree upon request to execute any further documents or instruments necessary or desirable in the sole determination of the Company to
carry out the purposes or intent of your Award.

 

(c)         You
acknowledge and agree that you have reviewed your Award in its entirety, have had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior
to executing and accepting your Award and fully understand all provisions of your Award.

 

(d)         This
Agreement shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national
securities exchanges as may be required.

 

(e)         All
obligations of the Company under the Plan and this Agreement shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of
such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the
business and/or assets of the Company.

 

16.        Governing
Plan Document. Your Award is subject to all the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of which are hereby made a part
of your Award, and is further subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations which may from time to time be promulgated
and adopted pursuant to the Plan. Your Award (and any compensation paid or shares issued under your Award) is subject to recoupment in
accordance with The Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any implementing regulations thereunder, any clawback
policy adopted by the Company and any compensation recovery policy otherwise required by applicable law, in each case whether implemented
before, on or after the Date of Grant. No recovery of compensation under such a clawback policy will be an event giving rise to a right
to voluntarily terminate employment upon a resignation for “good reason,” or for a “constructive termination”
or any similar term under any plan of or agreement with the Company.

 

17.        Effect
on Other Employee Benefit Plans. The value of the Award subject to this Agreement shall not be included as compensation,
earnings, salaries, or other similar terms used when calculating benefits under any employee benefit plan (other than the Plan) sponsored
by the Company or any Affiliate except as such plan otherwise expressly provides. The Company expressly reserves its rights to amend,
modify, or terminate any or all of the employee benefit plans of the Company or any Affiliate.

 

    

     

    

 

18.        Severability.
If all or any part of this Agreement or the Plan is declared by any court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness
or invalidity shall not invalidate any portion of this Agreement or the Plan not declared to be unlawful or invalid. Any Section of
this Agreement (or part of such a Section) so declared to be unlawful or invalid shall, if possible, be construed in a manner which will
give effect to the terms of such Section or part of a Section to the fullest extent possible while remaining lawful and valid.

 

19.        Other
Documents. You hereby acknowledge receipt of and the right to receive a document providing the information required
by Rule 428(b)(1) promulgated under the Securities Act. In addition, you acknowledge receipt of the Company’s policy permitting
certain individuals to sell shares only during certain “window” periods and the Company’s insider trading policy, in
effect from time to time.

 

20.        Amendment.
This Agreement may not be modified, amended or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by you and by a duly authorized representative
of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended solely by the Board by a writing which specifically states
that it is amending this Agreement, so long as a copy of such amendment is delivered to you, and provided that, except as otherwise expressly
provided in the Plan, no such amendment materially adversely affecting your rights hereunder may be made without your written consent.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Board reserves the right to change, by written notice to you, the provisions of this Agreement in
any way it may deem necessary or advisable to carry out the purpose of the Award as a result of any change in applicable laws or regulations
or any future law, regulation, ruling, or judicial decision, provided that any such change shall be applicable only to rights relating
to that portion of the Award which is then subject to restrictions as provided herein.

 

21.        Compliance
with Section 409A of the Code. This Award is intended to be exempt from the application of Section 409A of
the Code, including but not limited to by reason of complying with the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in Treasury
Regulation Section 1.409A- 1(b)(4) and any ambiguities herein shall be interpreted accordingly. If it is determined that the
Award or any other compensation or benefit you receive is deferred compensation subject to Section 409A and you are a “Specified
Employee” (within the meaning set forth in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code) as of the date of your “Separation
from Service” (as defined in Section 409A), then, to the extent necessary to avoid accelerated taxation or any tax penalties,
the issuance of any shares or the payment of any such compensation or benefit that would otherwise be made upon the date of your Separation
from Service or within the first six (6) months thereafter will not be made on the originally scheduled date(s) and will instead
be issued in a lump sum on the date that is six (6) months and one day after the date of the Separation from Service. Each installment
of shares that vests is intended to constitute a “separate payment” for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2).

EXHIBIT A

 

VESTING CRITERIA

 

1.          Defined
Terms. Capitalized terms not explicitly defined in this Exhibit A shall have the meanings set forth in the
Plan, the Grant Notice or the Award Agreement, as applicable.

 

2.          Performance
Criteria.

 

(a)          The
PRSUs will become eligible to vest subject to the achievement of the applicable Common Stock Price Targets set forth in the
following table during the period (i) beginning on the date immediately preceding the date upon which the registration
statement on Form S-1 filed by the Company is declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and
(ii) ending on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Date of Grant  (the “Performance Period”).
Each PRSU that becomes eligible to vest in accordance with this Section 2 is referred to as a “Performance-Vested
PRSU”.

 

	Common Stock Price 

Target	
    Number of PRSUs That Are

Performance-Vested
PRSUs

	$105.00	275,000
	$140.00	550,000
	$175.00	825,000
	$210.00	1,100,000
	$245.00	1,375,000
	$280.00	1,650,000
	$315.00	1,925,000
	$350.00	2,200,000
	$385.00	2,475,000
	$420.00	2,750,000

 

(b)          For
purposes of this Section 2, a Common Stock Price Target will be deemed to be achieved on the date that the average closing price
of a share of Common Stock as quoted on the New York Stock Exchange (or such other exchange on which the Common Stock is listed if not
listed on the New York Stock Exchange) during the trading days contained within any consecutive 30 calendar day period prior to the end
of the Performance Period (the “Average Closing Price”) equals or exceeds the applicable Common Stock Price Target.

 

(c)          If
the Average Closing Price does not equal or exceed $105.00 at any time prior to the end of the Performance Period, then none of the PRSUs
will become eligible to vest and the PRSUs will be forfeited in their entirety as of the end of the Performance Period without any payment
or other consideration to Participant in respect thereof.

 

(d)          Except
as otherwise set forth in this Exhibit A, the PRSUs will only become eligible to vest if the applicable Common Stock Price
Target has been achieved and no linear interpolation will be applied for achievement of Common Stock Price Targets between the amounts
listed in the table above.

 

3.          Service
Criteria; Vested PRSUs.

 

(a)          On
each of the first four anniversaries of the Date of Grant (each, a “Service Vesting Date”), subject to Participant’s
continued employment by the Company, except as otherwise provided in Section 4 or 5 hereof, Participant will satisfy the service-based
vesting condition with respect to twenty-five percent (25%) of the PRSUs subject to this Award. The PRSUs that become vested as of each Service
Vesting Date are referred to as “Service-Vested PRSUs”. PRSUs that are both Performance-Vested PRSUs and Service Vested
PRSUs are referred to as “Vested PRSUs”.

 

    

     

    

 

(b)          Any
PRSUs that are not Performance-Vested PRSUs as of the last Service Vesting Date will become Vested PRSUs on the date prior to the end
of the Performance Period that the applicable Common Stock Price Target is achieved, subject to Participant’s continued employment
by the Company on the date the Common Stock Price Target is achieved. Any PRSUs that are not Performance-Vested PRSUs prior to the expiration
of the Performance Period will immediately be forfeited as of the date immediately following the expiration of the Performance Period
without any payment or other consideration to Participant in respect thereof.

 

4.           Termination
of Employment.

 

(a)          If
Participant’s employment is terminated while any PRSUs are outstanding by the Company for Cause, then all PRSUs (whether Performance-Vested
PRSUs or Service-Vested PRSUs) that are then outstanding will immediately be forfeited without any payment or other consideration to Participant
in respect thereof.

 

(b)          If
Participant’s employment is terminated while any PRSUs are outstanding by Participant without Good Reason, then all PRSUs that are
then not Vested PRSUs will be immediately forfeited without any payment or other consideration to Participant in respect therefor.

 

(c)          If
Participant’s employment terminates while any PRSUs are outstanding as a result of Participant’s death or Disability, then
(i) all outstanding Performance-Vested PRSUs will immediately become Vested PRSUs and (ii) all other outstanding PRSUs that
are not Performance-Vested PRSUs will immediately be forfeited without any payment or other consideration to Participant in respect thereof.

 

(d)          If
Participant’s employment is terminated while any PRSUs are outstanding either by the Company without Cause or by Participant with
Good Reason, then (i) any then-outstanding Performance-Vested PRSUs will immediately become Vested PRSUs and (ii) all other
outstanding PRSUs that are not Performance-Vested PRSUs will immediately be forfeited without any payment or other consideration to Participant
in respect thereof.

 

(e)          For
purposes of this Exhibit A, the following terms have the respective meanings set forth below:

 

(i)           “Cause”
means (a) Participant’s unauthorized use or disclosure of the Company's confidential information or trade secrets, which use
or disclosure causes material harm to the Company; (b) Participant’s material breach of any written agreement between Participant
and the Company, including, without limitation, the material breach of any applicable non-competition or non-solicitation obligations;
(c) Participant’s failure to comply with the Company's material written policies or rules, which failure causes material harm
to the Company; (d) Participant’s conviction of, or plea of "guilty" or "no contest" to, a felony or any
crime involving fraud, dishonesty, misappropriation or moral turpitude under the laws of the United States, any State or other jurisdiction;
(e) Participant’s willful and continued failure to substantially perform Participant’s material duties to the Company;
or (f) Participant’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, in either case which causes material harm to the Company. In order
for the termination of Participant’s employment to constitute a termination for "Cause" pursuant to clause (b) and/or
clause (e), the Company must first provide Participant with written notice of the acts or omissions constituting the grounds for "Cause"
and allow Participant 30 days in which to cure such condition, and only if such condition has not been cured after the conclusion of such
30-day period shall Cause be deemed to have occurred.

 

    

     

    

 

(ii)          “Disability”
means Participant’s inability to perform the essential functions of Participant’s position, even with reasonable accommodation,
as a result of a determinable physical or mental impairment that has or could reasonably be expected to result in death or to last for
at least 90 consecutive days or for at least 120 non-consecutive days in any one-year period.

 

(iii)          “Good
Reason” means the occurrence of one of the following without Participant’s express written consent: (a) a material
reduction in Participant’s duties (including responsibilities and/or authorities), provided, however, that such a change (including
a change in title) shall not be deemed a "material reduction" in and of itself unless Participant’s new duties are materially
reduced from the prior duties; or (b) a change in the geographic location at which Participant must perform services to a facility
or location of 35 miles or more from Participant’s then current office location.  Good Reason shall not exist unless Participant
(i) provides written notice to the Board of the purported grounds for the Good Reason within 90 days of its initial existence,
(ii) the Company fails to materially cure the condition within 30 days following the date of the Company's receipt of such written
notice and (iii) Participant terminates employment with 10 days after the expiration of the cure period.

 

5.          Change
in Control.

 

(a)          If
a Change in Control occurs while any PRSUs are outstanding, then the per-share value of a share of Common Stock as of the consummation
of such Change in Control, as set forth in the applicable transaction document or as otherwise determined by the Board in good faith if
not set forth therein (as applicable, the “Per Share Price”) shall be used to determine the achievement of the Common
Stock Price Targets; provided, that, linear interpolation will be applied if the Per Share Price is between the Common Stock Price targets
listed in Section 2(a).

 

(b)          Any
PRSUs that were Performance-Vested PRSUs immediately prior to the Change in Control, and any PRSUs that become Performance-Vested PRSUs
as a result of the Change in Control, shall remain subject to the service vesting criteria set forth in Section 3; provided, that,
any such Performance-Vested PRSUs shall become Vested PRSUs on or after the consummation of a Change in Control either (i) due to
Participant’s death or Disability, (ii) by the Company without Cause or (iii) by Participant for Good Reason. Upon a Change
in Control, all PRSUs that have not become Performance-Vested PRSUs will immediately be forfeited without any payment or other consideration
to Participant in respect thereof.
