AMENDED AND RESTATED

2020 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

 

Article I.
PURPOSE

The purposes of this Inari Medical, Inc. Amended and Restated 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (as it may be amended or restated from time to time, the “Plan”) are to assist Eligible Employees of Inari Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the other Participating Companies in acquiring a stock ownership interest in the Company, and to help Eligible Employees provide for their future security and to encourage them to remain in the employment of the Participating Companies.

This Plan includes two components: a Code Section 423 Component (the “Section 423 Component”) and a non-Code Section 423 Component (the “Non-Section 423 Component”). It is the intention of the Company to have the Section 423 Component qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code. The provisions of the Section 423 Component, accordingly, shall be construed so as to extend and limit participation on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis consistent with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code. In addition, this Plan authorizes the grant of Options to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock under the Non-Section 423 Component, which does not qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code; such Options granted under the Non-Section 423 Component shall be granted in separate Offering Periods pursuant to the provisions of such sub-plans, appendices, rules or procedures as may be adopted by the Administrator and designed to achieve tax, securities laws or other objectives for Eligible Employees and the Participating Companies in locations outside of the U.S.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the Non-Section 423 Component will operate and be administered in the same manner as the Section 423 Component. Options intended to be granted under the Non-Section 423 Component will be designated as such by the Administrator at or prior to the start of the applicable Offering Period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change in Control constitutes a payment event with respect to any portion of any right that constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation,” the transaction or event constituting the Change in Control with respect to such right (or portion thereof) must also constitute a “change in control event” (as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(5)) to trigger the payment event for such right, to the extent required by Section 409A of the Code.  The Administrator shall have full and final authority, which shall be exercised in its discretion, to determine conclusively whether a Change in Control has occurred pursuant to the above definition, the date of the occurrence of such Change in Control and any incidental matters relating thereto; provided that any exercise of authority in conjunction with a determination of whether a Change in Control is a “change in control event” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) shall be consistent with such regulation.

The Committee, in its discretion, may establish a different definition of Compensation on a prospective basis, which definition must be implemented on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis for participation in each Offering Period in the Section 423 Component.

For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the rules of Section 424(d) of the Code with regard to the attribution of stock ownership shall apply in determining the stock ownership of an individual, and stock that an Employee may purchase under outstanding options shall be treated as stock owned by the Employee; provided, however, that the Administrator may provide in an Offering Document that an Employee shall not be eligible to participate in an Offering Period if: (a) such Employee is a highly compensated employee within the meaning of Section 423(b)(4)(D) of the Code, (b) such Employee has not met a service requirement designated by the Administrator pursuant to Section 423(b)(4)(A) of the Code (which service requirement may not exceed two years), (c) such Employee’s customary employment is for 20 hours or less per week, (d) such Employee’s customary employment is for less than five months in any calendar year and/or (e) such Employee is a citizen or resident of a foreign jurisdiction and the grant of a right to purchase Common Stock under the Plan to such Employee would be prohibited under the laws of such foreign jurisdiction or the grant of a right to purchase Common Stock under the Plan to such Employee in compliance with the 

 

 

 

laws of such foreign jurisdiction would cause the Section 423 Component, participation in any Offering Period or the Option to violate the requirements of Section 423 of the Code, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion; provided, further, that, with respect to the Section 423 Component, any exclusion in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) shall be applied in an identical manner under each Offering Period to all Employees, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.423-2(e). With respect to the Non-Section 423 Component, all of the foregoing rules shall apply in determining who is an “Eligible Employee,” except (i) the Administrator may limit eligibility further within a Participating Company so as to only designate some Employees of a Participating Company as Eligible Employees, and (ii) to the extent the foregoing eligibility rules are not consistent with applicable local laws.

For purposes of the Section 423 Component, where the period of leave exceeds three months and the individual’s right to reemployment is not guaranteed either by statute or by contract, the employment relationship shall be deemed to have terminated on the first day immediately following such three-month period, or such other period specified in Treasury Regulation Section 1.421-1(h)(2).

The designation by the Administrator of Participating Companies and changes in such designations by the Administrator shall not require stockholder approval.

5.1Eligibility.

Any Eligible Employee who shall be employed by the Company or a Participating Company on a given Enrollment Date for an Offering Period shall be eligible to participate in the Plan during such Offering Period, subject to the requirements of this Article V and, with respect to the Section 423 Component, the limitations imposed by Section 423(b) of the Code.

Enrollment in Plan

.

(a)Except as otherwise set forth in an Offering Document or determined by the Administrator, an Eligible Employee may become a Participant in the Plan for an Offering Period by delivering a subscription agreement to the Company by such time prior to the Enrollment Date for such Offering Period (or such other date specified in the Offering Document) designated by the Administrator and in such form as the Company provides. 

(b)Each subscription agreement shall designate a whole percentage of such Eligible Employee’s Compensation to be withheld by the Company or the Participating Company employing such Eligible Employee on each payday during the Offering Period as payroll deductions under the Plan. The designated percentage may not be less than 1% and may not be more than the maximum percentage specified by the Administrator in the applicable Offering Document (which percentage shall be 20% in the absence of any such designation). The payroll deductions made for each Participant shall be credited to an account for such Participant under the Plan and shall be deposited with the general funds of the Company. 

(c)A Participant may decrease the percentage of Compensation designated in his or her subscription agreement, subject to the limits of this Section 5.2, or may suspend his or her payroll deductions, at any time during an Offering Period; provided, however, that the Administrator may limit the number of changes a Participant may make to his or her payroll deduction elections during each Offering Period in the applicable Offering Document (and in the absence of any specific designation by the Administrator, a Participant shall be allowed two decreases and one suspension (but no increases) to his or her payroll deduction elections during each Offering Period with respect to such Offering Period). Any such change or suspension of payroll deductions shall be effective with the first full payroll period following five business days after the Company’s receipt of the new subscription agreement (or such shorter or longer period as may be specified by the Administrator in the applicable Offering Document).  In the event a Participant suspends his or her payroll deductions, such Participant’s cumulative payroll deductions prior to the suspension shall remain in his or her account and shall be applied to the purchase of Shares on the 

 

 

 

next occurring Purchase Date and shall not be paid to such Participant unless he or she withdraws from participation in the Plan pursuant to Article VII. 

(d)Except as otherwise set forth in Section 5.8 or in an Offering Document or determined by the Administrator, a Participant may participate in the Plan only by means of payroll deduction and may not make contributions by lump sum payment for any Offering Period.

5.3Payroll Deductions.

Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Offering Document or Section 5.8, payroll deductions for a Participant shall commence on the first payroll following the Enrollment Date and shall end on the last payroll in the Offering Period to which the Participant’s authorization is applicable, unless sooner terminated by the Participant as provided in Article VII or suspended by the Participant or the Administrator as provided in Section 5.2 and Section 5.6, respectively. 

5.4Effect of Enrollment.

A Participant’s completion of a subscription agreement will enroll such Participant in the Plan for each subsequent Offering Period on the terms contained therein until the Participant either submits a new subscription agreement, withdraws from participation under the Plan as provided in Article VII or otherwise becomes ineligible to participate in the Plan. 

5.5Limitation on Purchase of Common Stock.

An Eligible Employee may be granted rights under the Section 423 Component only if such rights, together with any other rights granted to such Eligible Employee under “employee stock purchase plans” of the Company, any Parent or any Subsidiary, as specified by Section 423(b)(8) of the Code, do not permit such employee’s rights to purchase stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary to accrue at a rate that exceeds $25,000 of the fair market value of such stock (determined as of the first day of the Offering Period during which such rights are granted) for each calendar year in which such rights are outstanding at any time. This limitation shall be applied in accordance with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code.

5.6Decrease or Suspension of Payroll Deductions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Section 423 Component, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 5.5 or the other limitations set forth in this Plan, a Participant’s payroll deductions may be suspended by the Administrator at any time during an Offering Period. The balance of the amount credited to the account of each Participant that has not been applied to the purchase of Shares by reason of Section 423(b)(8) of the Code, Section 5.5 or the other limitations set forth in this Plan shall be paid to such Participant in one lump sum in cash as soon as reasonably practicable after the Purchase Date.

5.7[Reserved].

5.8Leave of Absence.

During leaves of absence approved by the Company meeting the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.421-1(h)(2) under the Code, a Participant may continue participation in the Plan by making cash payments to the Company on his or her normal payday equal to his or her authorized payroll deduction.

 

 

 

Article VI.
grant and Exercise of rights

6.1Grant of Rights.

On the Enrollment Date of each Offering Period, each Eligible Employee participating in such Offering Period shall be granted a right to purchase the maximum number of Shares specified under Section 4.2, subject to the limits in Section 5.5, and shall have the right to buy, on each Purchase Date during such Offering Period (at the applicable Purchase Price), such number of whole Shares as is determined by dividing (a) such Participant’s payroll deductions accumulated prior to such Purchase Date and retained in the Participant’s account as of the Purchase Date, by (b) the applicable Purchase Price (rounded down to the nearest Share). The right shall expire on the earlier of: (x) the last Purchase Date of the Offering Period, (y) last day of the Offering Period and (z) the date on which the Participant withdraws in accordance with Section 7.1 or Section 7.3.  Further, the Administrator may limit the number or value of the Shares made available for purchase in a qualified period (e.g., 12 month period) by Participants in specified countries or working for specified Participating Companies, if necessary to avoid securities law filings, achieve tax objectives or to meet other Company compliance objectives in particular non-U.S. jurisdictions, provided that any such limitation is imposed under the Non-Section 423 Component or, with respect to the Section 423 Component, is imposed on an equal basis to all Participants participating in an Offering Period or as otherwise permitted in accordance with Section 423 of the Code.

6.2Exercise of Rights.

On each Purchase Date, each Participant’s accumulated payroll deductions and any other additional payments specifically provided for in the applicable Offering Document will be applied to the purchase of whole Shares, up to the maximum number of Shares permitted pursuant to the terms of the Plan and the applicable Offering Document, at the Purchase Price. No fractional Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of rights granted under the Plan, unless the Offering Document specifically provides otherwise. Any cash in lieu of fractional Shares remaining after the purchase of whole Shares upon exercise of a purchase right will be carried forward and applied toward the purchase of whole Shares for the following Offering Period, unless the Administrator provides in the applicable Offering Document that such amounts shall be credited to a Participant’s account and returned to the Participant in one lump sum payment in a subsequent payroll check as soon as practicable after the exercise date, or unless otherwise required by local law for Participants in non-U.S. jurisdictions. Shares issued pursuant to the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Administrator may determine and may be issued in certificated form or issued pursuant to book-entry procedures.

6.3Pro Rata Allocation of Shares.

If the Administrator determines that, on a given Purchase Date, the number of Shares with respect to which rights are to be exercised may exceed (a) the number of Shares that were available for issuance under the Plan on the Enrollment Date of the applicable Offering Period, or (b) the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan on such Purchase Date, the Administrator may in its sole discretion provide that the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the Shares available for purchase on such Enrollment Date or Purchase Date, as applicable, in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine in its sole discretion to be equitable among all Participants for whom rights to purchase Common Stock are to be exercised pursuant to this Article VI on such Purchase Date, and shall either (i) continue all Offering Periods then in effect, or (ii) terminate any or all Offering Periods then in effect pursuant to Article IX. The Company may make pro rata allocation of the Shares available on the Enrollment Date of any applicable Offering Period pursuant to the preceding sentence, notwithstanding any authorization of additional Shares for issuance under the Plan by the Company’s stockholders subsequent 

 

 

 

to such Enrollment Date. The balance of the amount credited to the account of each Participant that has not been applied to the purchase of Shares shall be paid to such Participant in one lump sum in cash as soon as reasonably practicable after the Purchase Date. 

6.4Withholding.

At the time a Participant’s rights under the Plan are exercised, in whole or in part, or at the time some or all of the Common Stock issued under the Plan is disposed of, the Participant must make adequate provision for the Company’s federal, state, or other tax withholding obligations, if any, that arise upon the exercise of the right or the disposition of the Common Stock. At any time, the Company or another Participating Company may, but shall not be obligated to, withhold from the Participant’s compensation the amount necessary for the Company or Participating Company to meet applicable withholding obligations, including any withholding required to make available to the Company or Participating Company any tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early disposition of Common Stock by the Participant. 

6.5Conditions to Issuance of Common Stock.

The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for, or make any book entries evidencing, Shares purchased upon the exercise of rights under the Plan prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions: 

(a)The admission of such Shares to listing on all stock exchanges, if any, on which the Common Stock is then listed; 

(b)The completion of any registration or other qualification of such Shares under any state or federal law or under the rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental regulatory body, that the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable; 

(c)The obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency that the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable; 

(d)The payment to the Company of all amounts that it is required to withhold under federal, state or local law upon exercise of the rights, if any; and 

(e)The lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the rights as the Administrator may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience. 

Article VII.
WITHDRAWAL; CESSATION OF ELIGIBILITY; TRANSFER OF EMPLOYMENT

7.1Withdrawal.

A Participant may withdraw all but not less than all of the payroll deductions credited to his or her account and not yet used to exercise his or her rights under the Plan at any time by giving written notice to the Company in a form acceptable to the Company no later than one week prior to the end of the Offering Period (or such shorter or longer period specified by the Administrator in the Offering Document). All of the Participant’s payroll deductions credited to his or her account during an Offering Period shall be paid to such Participant as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of notice of withdrawal and such Participant’s rights for the Offering Period shall be automatically terminated, and no further payroll 

 

 

 

deductions for the purchase of Shares shall be made for such Offering Period. If a Participant withdraws from an Offering Period, payroll deductions shall not resume at the beginning of the next Offering Period unless the Participant is an Eligible Employee and timely delivers to the Company a new subscription agreement.

7.2Future Participation.

A Participant’s withdrawal from an Offering Period shall not have any effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in any similar plan that may hereafter be adopted by the Company or a Participating Company or in subsequent Offering Periods that commence after the termination of the Offering Period from which the Participant withdraws.

7.3Cessation of Eligibility.

Upon a Participant’s ceasing to be an Eligible Employee for any reason, he or she shall be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan pursuant to this Article VII and the payroll deductions credited to such Participant’s account during the Offering Period shall be paid to such Participant or, in the case of his or her death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under Section 12.4, as soon as reasonably practicable, and such Participant’s rights for the Offering Period shall be automatically terminated.

7.4Transfer of Employment.  

A transfer of employment from the Company or a Participating Company to another shall not be treated as a termination of employment.  If a Participant transfers employment from the Company or any Participating Company participating in the Section 423 Component to a Participating Company participating in the Non-Section 423 Component, he or she shall immediately cease to participate in the Section 423 Component; however, any contributions made for the Offering Period in which such transfer occurs shall be transferred to the Non-Section 423 Component, and such Participant shall immediately become a Participant in the current Offering Period under the Non-Section 423 Component upon the same terms and conditions in effect for his or her participation in the Section 423 Component, except for such modifications otherwise applicable for Participants to participate in such Offering Period. A Participant who transfers employment from a Participating Company participating in the Non-Section 423 Component to the Company or any Participating Company participating in the Section 423 Component shall remain a Participant in the Non-Section 423 Component until the earlier of (i) the end of the current Offering Period under the Non-Section 423 Component, or (ii) the Enrollment Date of the first Offering Period in which he or she is eligible to participate following such transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may establish different rules to govern transfers of employment between companies participating in the Section 423 Component and the Non-Section 423 Component, consistent with the applicable requirements of Section 423 of the Code.

Article VIII.
Adjustments upon Changes in Stock

8.1Changes in Capitalization.

Subject to Section 8.3, in the event that the Administrator determines that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, other securities, or other property), Change in Control, reorganization, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, combination, repurchase, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, or sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or sale or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other similar 

 

 

 

corporate transaction or event, as determined by the Administrator, affects the Common Stock such that an adjustment is determined by the Administrator to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended by the Company to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any outstanding purchase rights under the Plan, the Administrator shall make equitable adjustments, if any, to reflect such change with respect to (a) the aggregate number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) that may be issued under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Section 3.1 and the limitations established in each Offering Document pursuant to Section 4.2 on the maximum number of Shares that may be purchased); (b) the class(es) and number of Shares and price per Share subject to outstanding rights; and (c) the Purchase Price with respect to any outstanding rights.

8.2Other Adjustments.

Subject to Section 8.3, in the event of any transaction or event described in Section 8.1 or any unusual or nonrecurring transactions or events affecting the Company, any Affiliate, or the financial statements of the Company or any Affiliate (including without limitation any Change in Control), or of changes in Applicable Law or accounting principles, the Administrator, in its discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the Administrator determines that such action is appropriate in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any right under the Plan, to facilitate such transactions or events or to give effect to such changes in laws, regulations or principles:

(a)To provide for either (i) termination of any outstanding right in exchange for an amount of cash, if any, equal to the amount that would have been obtained upon the exercise of such right had such right been currently exercisable or (ii) the replacement of such outstanding right with other rights or property selected by the Administrator in its sole discretion;

(b)To provide that the outstanding rights under the Plan shall be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by similar rights covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices;

(c)To make adjustments in the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding rights under the Plan and/or in the terms and conditions of outstanding rights and rights that may be granted in the future;

(d)To provide that Participants’ accumulated payroll deductions may be used to purchase Common Stock prior to the next occurring Purchase Date on such date as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion and the Participants’ rights under the ongoing Offering Period(s) shall be terminated; and

(e)To provide that all outstanding rights shall terminate without being exercised.

8.3No Adjustment Under Certain Circumstances.

No adjustment or action described in this Article VIII or in any other provision of the Plan shall be authorized to the extent that such adjustment or action would cause the Section 423 Component to fail to satisfy the requirements of Section 423 of the Code.

8.4No Other Rights.

 

 

 

Except as expressly provided in the Plan, no Participant shall have any rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend, any increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class or any dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company or any other corporation. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or pursuant to action of the Administrator under the Plan, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of Shares subject to outstanding rights under the Plan or the Purchase Price with respect to any outstanding rights.

Article IX.
Amendment, modification and termination

9.1Amendment, Modification and Termination.

The Administrator may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time and from time to time; provided, however, that approval of the Company’s stock

holders shall be required to amend the Plan to: (a) increase the aggregate number, or change the type, of shares that may be sold pursuant to rights under the Plan under Section 3.1 (other than an adjustment as provided by Article VIII); (b) change the corporations or classes of corporations whose employees may be granted rights under the Plan; or (c) change the Plan in any manner that would cause the Section 423 Component to no longer be an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423(b) of the Code. 

9.2Certain Changes to Plan.

Without stockholder consent and without regard to whether any Participant rights may be considered to have been adversely affected, and with respect to the Section 423 Component, to the extent permitted by Section 423 of the Code, the Administrator shall be entitled to change or terminate the Offering Periods, limit the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount withheld from Compensation during an Offering Period, establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars, permit payroll withholding in excess of the amount designated by a Participant in order to adjust for delays or mistakes in the Company’s processing of payroll withholding elections, establish reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Common Stock for each Participant properly correspond with amounts withheld from the Participant’s Compensation, and establish such other limitations or procedures as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion to be advisable that are consistent with the Plan. 

9.3Actions In the Event of Unfavorable Financial Accounting Consequences.

In the event the Administrator determines that the ongoing operation of the Plan may result in unfavorable financial accounting consequences, the Administrator may, to the extent permitted under Section 423 of the Code with respect to participation in any Offering Period under the Section 423 Component, in its discretion and, to the extent necessary or desirable, modify or amend the Plan to reduce or eliminate such accounting consequence including, but not limited to: 

(a)altering the Purchase Price for any Offering Period including an Offering Period underway at the time of the change in Purchase Price;

(b)shortening any Offering Period so that the Offering Period ends on a new Purchase Date, including an Offering Period underway at the time of the Administrator action; and

 

 

 

(c)allocating Shares.

Such modifications or amendments shall not require stockholder approval or the consent of any Participant.

9.4Payments Upon Termination of Plan.

Upon termination of the Plan, the balance in each Participant’s Plan account shall be refunded as soon as practicable after such termination, without any interest thereon.

Article X.
TERM OF PLAN

The Plan shall be effective on the Effective Date. No rights may be granted under the Plan during any period of suspension of the Plan or after termination of the Plan. 

Article XI.
ADMINISTRATION

11.1Administrator.

Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Administrator of the Plan shall be the Compensation Committee of the Board (or another committee or a subcommittee of the Board to which the Board delegates administration of the Plan) (such committee, the “Committee”). The Board may at any time vest in the Board any authority or duties for administration of the Plan. 

11.2Action by the Administrator.

Unless otherwise established by the Board or in any charter of the Administrator, a majority of the Administrator shall constitute a quorum. The acts of a majority of the members present at any meeting at which a quorum is present and, subject to Applicable Law and the Bylaws of the Company, acts approved in writing by a majority of the Administrator in lieu of a meeting, shall be deemed the acts of the Administrator. Each member of the Administrator is entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to that member by any officer or other employee of the Company or any Participating Company, the Company’s independent certified public accountants, or any executive compensation consultant or other professional retained by the Company to assist in the administration of the Plan.

11.3Authority of Administrator.

The Administrator shall have the power, subject to, and within the limitations of, the express provisions of the Plan:

(a)To determine when and how rights to purchase Common Stock shall be granted and the provisions of each offering of such rights (which need not be identical).

(b)To designate from time to time which Subsidiaries of the Company shall be Participating Companies, which designation may be made without the approval of the stockholders of the Company.

(c)To construe and interpret the Plan and rights granted under it, and to establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations for its administration. The Administrator, in the exercise of this power, may 

 

 

 

correct any defect, omission or inconsistency in the Plan, in a manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or expedient to make the Plan fully effective.

(d)To amend, suspend or terminate the Plan as provided in Article IX.

(e)Generally, to exercise such powers and to perform such acts as the Administrator deems necessary or expedient to promote the best interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries and to carry out the intent that the Section 423 Component be treated as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 of the Code. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrator shall also have the authority to determine which Participating Companies shall participate in the Non-Section 423 Component and which shall participate in the Section 423 Component.

11.4Decisions Binding.

The Administrator’s interpretation of the Plan, any rights granted pursuant to the Plan, any subscription agreement and all decisions and determinations by the Administrator with respect to the Plan are final, binding, and conclusive on all parties.

Article XII.
MISCELLANEOUS

12.1Restriction upon Assignment.

A right granted under the Plan shall not be transferable other than by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant. Except as provided in Section 12.4 hereof, a right under the Plan may not be exercised to any extent except by the Participant. The Company shall not recognize and shall be under no duty to recognize any assignment or alienation of the Participant’s interest in the Plan, the Participant’s rights under the Plan or any rights thereunder. 

12.2Rights as a Stockholder.

With respect to Shares subject to a right granted under the Plan, a Participant shall not be deemed to be a stockholder of the Company, and the Participant shall not have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder, until such Shares have been issued to the Participant or his or her nominee following exercise of the Participant’s rights under the Plan. No adjustments shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash securities, or other property) or distribution or other rights for which the record date occurs prior to the date of such issuance, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as determined by the Administrator.

12.3Interest.

No interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions or contributions of a Participant under the Plan.

Designation of Beneficiary

.

(a)A Participant may, in the manner determined by the Administrator, file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any Shares and/or cash, if any, from the Participant’s account under the Plan in the event of such Participant’s death subsequent to a Purchase Date on which the Participant’s rights are exercised but prior to delivery to such Participant of such Shares and cash. In addition, a Participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any cash from the 

 

 

 

Participant’s account under the Plan in the event of such Participant’s death prior to exercise of the Participant’s rights under the Plan. If the Participant is married and resides in a community property state, a designation of a person other than the Participant’s spouse as his or her beneficiary shall not be effective without the prior written consent of the Participant’s spouse. 

(b)Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the Participant at any time by written notice to the Company. In the event of the death of a Participant and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is living at the time of such Participant’s death, the Company shall deliver such Shares and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate of the Participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver such Shares and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or relatives of the Participant, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate.

12.5Notices.

All notices or other communications by a Participant to the Company under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given when received in the form specified by the Company at the location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof.

12.6Equal Rights and Privileges.

Subject to Section 5.7, all Eligible Employees will have equal rights and privileges under the Section 423 Component so that the Section 423 Component qualifies as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 of the Code. Subject to Section 5.7, any provision of the Section 423 Component that is inconsistent with Section 423 of the Code will, without further act or amendment by the Company, the Board or the Administrator, be reformed to comply with the equal rights and privileges requirement of Section 423 of the Code. Participants participating in the Non-Section 423 Component need not have the same rights and privileges as Employees participating in the Section 423 Component.

12.7Use of Funds.

All payroll deductions received or held by the Company under the Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions.

12.8Reports.

Statements of account shall be given to Participants at least annually, which statements shall set forth the amounts of payroll deductions, the Purchase Price, the number of Shares purchased and the remaining cash balance, if any.

12.9No Employment Rights.

Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to give any person (including any Eligible Employee or Participant) the right to remain in the employ of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary or affect the right of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any person (including any Eligible Employee or Participant) at any time, with or without cause.

12.10Notice of Disposition of Shares.

 

 

 

Each Participant who is a participant in the Section 423 Component shall give prompt notice to the Company of any disposition or other transfer of any Shares purchased upon exercise of a right under the Plan if such disposition or transfer is made: (a) within two years from the Enrollment Date of the Offering Period in which the Shares were purchased or (b) within one year after the Purchase Date on which such Shares were purchased. Such notice shall specify the date of such disposition or other transfer and the amount realized, in cash, other property, assumption of indebtedness or other consideration, by the Participant in such disposition or other transfer.

12.11Governing Law.

The Plan and any agreements hereunder shall be administered, interpreted and enforced under the internal laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflicts of laws thereof or of any other jurisdiction.

12.12Electronic Forms.

To the extent permitted by Applicable Law and in the discretion of the Administrator, an Eligible Employee may submit any form or notice as set forth herein by means of an electronic form approved by the Administrator. Before the commencement of an Offering Period, the Administrator shall prescribe the time limits within which any such electronic form shall be submitted to the Administrator with respect to such Offering Period in order to be a valid election.

12.13Rules for Foreign Jurisdictions. 

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Plan, the Administrator may adopt such sub-plans or appendices relating to the operation and administration of the Plan as are necessary or appropriate to permit the participation in the Plan by Employees who are foreign nationals or employed in non-U.S. jurisdictions, which sub-plans or appendices may be designed to govern participation in Offering Periods under the Section 423 Component or the Non-Section 423 Component, as determined by the Administrator; provided, however, that, under the Section 423 Component, the Administrator must determine that any alternative method of contribution is applied on an equal and uniform basis to all Eligible Employees participating in the applicable Offering Period and such special terms may not be more favorable than the terms of rights granted under the Plan to Eligible Employees who are residents of the United States. The rules of such appendices or sub-plans may take precedence over other provisions of this Plan, with the exception of Articles III, IX and X, but unless otherwise superseded by the terms of such sub-plan or appendix, the provisions of this Plan shall govern the operation of such sub-plans or appendices. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator is specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures regarding the exclusion of particular Subsidiaries from participation in the Plan, eligibility to participate, the definition of Compensation, handling of payroll deductions or other contributions by Participants, payment of interest, conversion of local currency, data privacy security, payroll tax, withholding procedures, establishment of bank or trust accounts to hold payroll deductions or contributions, determination of beneficiary designation requirements, and handling of stock certificates.  The Administrator also is authorized to determine that, to the extent permitted by U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.423-2(f), the terms of an Option granted under the Plan or during an Offering Period to citizens or residents of a non-U.S. jurisdiction will be less favorable than the terms of Options granted under the Plan or during the same Offering Period to Employees resident solely in the U.S. To the extent any sub-plan or appendix or other changes approved by the Administrator are inconsistent with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code or would jeopardize the tax-qualified status of the Section 423 Component, the change shall cause the Participating Companies affected thereby to be considered Participating Companies participating in an Offering Period under the Non-Section 423 Component instead of the Section 423 Component.  To the extent any Employee of the Company or a Participating Company in the Section 423 Component is a citizen or resident of a foreign jurisdiction (without regard to whether they are also a U.S. 

 

 

 

citizen or a resident alien (within the meaning of Section 7701(b)(1)(A) of the Code)) and compliance with the laws of the foreign jurisdiction would cause the Section 423 Component or the grant of Options under the Section 423 Component to violate the requirements of Section 423 of the Code, such Employee shall be considered a Participant participating in an Offering Period under the Non-Section 423 Component. The Administrator shall not be required to obtain the approval of the stockholders of the Company prior to the adoption, amendment or termination of any such sub-plan, appendix, rules or procedures.

12.14Section 409A of the Code. 

The Section 423 Component of the Plan is exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so be exempt from Section 409A. The Non-Section 423 Component is intended to be exempt from the application of Section 409A under the short-term deferral exception and any ambiguities shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent.  In furtherance of the foregoing and notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, if the Administrator determines that an Option granted under the Plan may be subject to Section 409A or that any provision in the Plan would cause an Option under the Plan to be subject to Section 409A, the Administrator may amend the terms of the Plan and/or of an outstanding Option granted under the Plan, or take such other action the Administrator determines is necessary or appropriate, in each case, without the Participant’s consent, to exempt any outstanding Option or future Option that may be granted under the Plan from or to allow any such Options to comply with Section 409A, but only to the extent any such amendments or action by the Administrator would not violate Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no liability to a Participant or any other party if the Option to purchase Common Stock under the Plan that is intended to be exempt from or compliant with Section 409A is not so exempt or compliant or for any action taken by the Administrator with respect thereto. 

12.15Tax-Qualification. 

Although the Company may endeavor to (a) qualify an Option for favorable tax treatment under the laws of the United States or non-U.S. jurisdictions or (b) avoid adverse tax treatment (e.g., under Section 409A), the Company makes no representation to that effect and expressly disavows any covenant to maintain favorable or avoid unfavorable tax treatment, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, including Section 12.14. The Company shall be unconstrained in its corporate activities without regard to the potential negative tax impact on Participants under the Plan.

12.16Language. 

If a Participant has received this Plan or any document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different from the English version, the English version will control.

The recipients of the Data may be located in the United States of America or elsewhere (and, if the Participant is a resident of a member state of the European Union, may be outside the European Economic Area) and that the recipient’s country (e.g., the United States of America) may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Participant’s country. The Participant may request a list with the names and addresses of all recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative.  Each Participant hereby authorizes the Company Group and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan. Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Company will also make the Data available to public authorities where required under locally Applicable Law. A Participant may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case, without cost, by contacting in writing the Participant’s local human resources representative. A Participant’s refusal to provide consent or withdrawal of consent may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.  This section applies to information held, used or disclosed in any medium.

 

 

 

 

If Participant resides in the UK or the European Union, the Company Group will hold, collect and otherwise process certain Data as set out in the applicable Company’s GDPR-compliant data privacy notice, which will be or has been provided to the Participant separately.

(b)Acknowledgment of Nature of Plan and Rights.  In participating in the Plan, each Participant acknowledges that: 

(i)for employment and labor law purposes, the rights granted and the shares of Common Stock purchased under the Plan are an extraordinary item that do not constitute wages of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company, any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate or the Employer, and the award of rights is outside the scope of Participant’s service contract, if any; 

(ii)for employment and labor law purposes, the rights granted and the Shares purchased under the Plan are not part of normal or expected wages or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, holiday pay, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company, the Employer, or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company;

(iii)the rights and the shares of Common Stock purchased under the Plan are not intended to be an integral component of compensation or to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(iv)neither the rights nor any provision of the Plan or the policies adopted pursuant to the Plan confer upon any Participant any right with respect to service or continuation of current service and shall not be interpreted to form a service contract or relationship with the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate; 

(v)the future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; 

(vi)if the underlying shares of Common Stock do not increase in value, the right may have no value; and

(vii)if a Participant acquires shares of Common Stock, the value of the shares of Common Stock acquired upon purchase may increase or decrease in value, even below the Purchase Price.

TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT 

The following provision replaces Section 7.3 of the Plan:

In the event of a termination of an Eligible Employee’s employment, the Eligible Employee’s right to purchase Shares under the Plan, if any, will terminate, and he or she shall be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan, effective as of the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date.

For greater certainty, (a) a Termination Date shall be determined without reference to any statutory severance or any contractual or common law notice of termination or pay in lieu that the Participant is entitled to or in receipt of; and (b) in no event will the Eligible Employee receive less than that required by applicable minimum employment standards legislation. The Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Eligible Employee is no longer employed for purposes of the Plan in accordance with the Plan documents and Applicable Law.

DATA PROTECTION

The Company collects and processes various types of information that is used to administer or support the Plan. “Personal Information” means information that can be used to identify or authenticate an individual but does not include business contact information and publicly available information. 

In addition to the global provisions of the Sub-Plan, each Eligible Employee hereby authorizes the Company and the Company’s representatives to discuss with and obtain all relevant Personal Information from all personnel, professional or not, involved in the administration and operation of the Plan, where necessary or inadvertent, including personal biographical information (including an Eligible Employee’s name, address, gender and date of birth), tax reporting information (including a Social Insurance Number and citizenship information), as well as contact information.  Each Eligible Employee further authorizes the Company Group and the Administrator to disclose and discuss the Plan with their advisors, to the extent reasonably necessary to administer the Plan, including in relation to audits and communication of the Plan.  Each Eligible Employee further authorizes the Company Group and the Administrator to record Personal Information and Plan information, and to keep such information in the Eligible Employee’s employee file.

The Company affirms its commitment to ensure that all Personal Information of Eligible Employees collected, maintained and used, is kept confidential and used only for the purposes for which it is intended, and assumes responsibility for safeguarding such Personal Information in accordance with the Plan requirements and all Applicable Laws. 

In the event of a security breach, the Company will take reasonable steps to comply with all applicable breach notification processes in accordance with Applicable Law. A security breach occurs when the security or confidentiality of Personal Information is comprised, and includes the unauthorized collection, use, or disclosure of Personal Information.

 

 

 

The measures that the Company will undertake to safeguard the security of Personal Information collected include, but are not necessarily limited to, taking the following steps commensurate with industry standards, as applicable: (i) limiting employee and contractor access to Personal Information; (ii) securing business facilities, data centres, paper files, services back-up systems and computing equipment; (iii) implementing network, device, database, and platform security in accordance with industry standards; (iv) securing information transmission, storage and disposal; (v) implementing appropriate personnel security and integrity procedures sand practices; and (vi) providing appropriate privacy and information security training to employees. 

The administration of the Plan might entail storage of Personal Information outside of Canada, including in the following countries: United States of America. Eligible Employees will be clearly informed of such storage outside Canada and any changes thereto, and be provided with the contact information of an individual who can answer questions regarding the collection and use of Personal Information.

NOTIFICATIONS

(a)Securities Law Information.  Each Eligible Employee understands that the Eligible Employee is permitted to sell Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, if any, provided the sale of Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan takes place outside of Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the Shares are listed.

(b)Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information.  If a Participant is a Canadian resident, such Participant may be required to report his or her foreign property on form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of the foreign property exceeds a certain threshold at any time in the year.  Foreign property includes Shares acquired under the Plan.  The Shares must be reported, generally at a nil cost, if the cost threshold is exceeded because of other foreign property the Participant holds.  If Shares are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the Shares.  The ACB ordinarily would equal the fair market value of the Shares at the time of acquisition, but if a Participant owns other Shares, this ACB may have to be leveraged with the ACB of the other Shares.  The form T1135 generally must be filed by April 30 of the following year.  

A Participant should note that this information is provided as a summary of applicable requirements and does not constitute tax advice. The tax consequences and tax reporting requirements related to participation in the Plan are subject to change. A Participant should further consult with his or her personal advisor to ensure compliance with the applicable reporting requirements.

TAX CONSEQUENCES

The following provision supplements Section 6.4 of the Plan:

Regardless of any action the Company or the Employer takes with respect to satisfying its obligations to withhold any or all statutorily prescribed amounts, including income tax (including foreign, federal, provincial, and local tax), Canada Pension Plan (“CPP”) contributions, any payroll tax, payment on account, or other items or amounts related to a Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to a Participant (“Withholding Taxes”), the ultimate liability for all Withholding Taxes legally due by a Participant is and remains such Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and/or the Employer.  Neither the Company and/or the Employer (i) make any representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Withholding Taxes in connection with any aspect of rights under the Plan, including but not limited to, the grant, vesting, exercise of the right, the issuance of Shares upon exercise, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of the right and the receipt of any dividends, and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the 

 

 

 

terms of the grant or any aspect of the rights under the Plan to reduce or eliminate a Participant’s liability for Withholding Taxes or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if a Participant has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Withholding Taxes in more than one jurisdiction. Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event (“Tax Date”), as applicable, a Participant will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Withholding Taxes.  In this regard, the Company and/or the Employer or their respective agents are authorized, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Withholding Taxes by one or a combination of the following: (A) accept a cash payment in USD in the amount of Withholding Taxes, (B) withhold whole Shares which would otherwise be delivered to a Participant having an aggregate fair market value, determined as of the Tax Date, or withhold an amount of cash from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation which would otherwise be payable to the Participant by the Company and/or the Employer, equal to the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligations, (C) withhold from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon exercise of the right either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization), or (D) a cash payment to the Company by a broker-dealer acceptable to the Company to whom a Participant has submitted an irrevocable notice of exercise.  To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Withholding Taxes by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates.  If the obligation for Withholding Taxes is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, a Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the right, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Withholding Taxes.  Finally, a Participant shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Withholding Taxes that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  The Company shall have sole discretion to deliver the Shares if a Participant fails to comply with such Participant’s obligations in connection with the Withholding Taxes as described in this section and each Participant unconditionally consents to and approves any such action taken by the Company.  A Participant (or any beneficiary or person entitled to act on a Participant’s behalf) shall provide the Company with any forms, documents or other information reasonably required by the Company.

If the Eligible Employee is a director or chief executive officer (as applicable) of a company incorporated in Singapore which is related to the Company (“Singapore Company”), the Eligible Employee is subject to certain disclosure / notification requirements under the Companies Act (Cap. 50) of Singapore.  Among these requirements is an obligation to notify the Singapore Company in writing when the Eligible Employee acquires an interest (such as shares, debentures, participatory interests, rights, options and contracts) in the Company (e.g., the Option, the shares of the Common Stock or any other award).  In addition, the Eligible Employee must notify the Singapore Company when the Eligible Employee disposes of such interest in the Company (including when the Eligible Employee sells shares of the Common Stock issued upon vesting and settlement of the Option).  These notifications must be made within two days of acquiring or disposing of any such interest in the Company.  In addition, a notification of the Eligible Employee’s interests in the Company must be made within two business days of becoming a director or chief executive officer (as applicable).

(b)Without prejudice to the terms of the Plan, an Option cannot be exercised, and no shares of Stock may be purchased with respect thereto, until the Eligible Employee has made such arrangements as the Company or the Employer may require for the satisfaction of any Tax Liability that may arise in connection with the exercise of the Option and/or the acquisition of the shares of Common Stock by the Eligible Employee.  Where any Tax Liability is likely to arise, the Company, the Company Group or the Employer may recover from the Eligible Employee an amount of money sufficient to meet the Tax Liability by any of the following arrangements:

(iii)withholding the issue, allotment or transfer to the Eligible Employee of the shares of Common Stock otherwise to be acquired by the Eligible Employee pursuant to the Option until the Eligible Employee has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Company Group or the Employer that he or she has given irrevocable instructions to a third party (for example a broker) satisfactory to the Company Group or the Employer to sell sufficient of those shares to ensure the net proceeds are so far as possible, equal to but not less than, the amount of the Tax Liability; or

 

(iv)where the Tax Liability arises as a result of a release or assignment by the Eligible Employee of the Option, a deduction from the payment made to him or her as consideration for such release or assignment.

(d)In the event that the Eligible Employee should be granted an Option in connection with the Eligible Employee’s employment in Singapore, any gains or profits enjoyed by the Eligible Employee arising from the vesting of such Option will be taxable in Singapore as part of the Eligible Employee’s employment remuneration regardless of when the Option vests or where the Eligible Employee is at the time the Option vests.  The Eligible Employee may, however, be eligible to enjoy deferment of such taxes under incentive schemes operated by the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore if the qualifying criteria relating thereto are met.  The Eligible Employee is advised to seek professional tax advice as to the Eligible Employee’s tax liabilities including, to the extent the Eligible Employee is a foreigner, how such gains or profits aforesaid will be taxed at the time the Eligible Employee ceases to work in Singapore.

 

(e)All taxes (including income tax) arising from the award of any Option or the vesting of any Option thereon shall be borne by the Eligible Employee. 

 

(f)Where the Eligible Employee is a non-citizen of Singapore and about to leave employment with the Employing Entity (as defined below), the Employing Entity may be required under the Income Tax Act (Cap. 134) of Singapore to deduct or withhold taxes arising from the vesting of the Option from the Eligible Employee’s emoluments.  An amount equal to the tax amount required to be deducted or withheld will have to be so deducted or withheld by the Employing Entity and paid to the Singapore tax authorities.  Emoluments include income from gains or profits from any employment, which includes any wages, salary, leave pay, fee, commission, bonus, gratuity, perquisite or allowance (other than certain types of allowance) paid or granted in respect of the employment whether in money or otherwise, and any gains or profits, directly or indirectly, derived by any person from a right or benefit to acquire shares in any company where such right or benefit is obtained by reason of any office or employment held by him or her. “Employing Entity” shall mean the Company, a Singapore subsidiary of the Company, other affiliated company or any other person paying such emoluments, whether on his or her account or on behalf of another person.

(b)At the discretion of the Administrator, Options granted under the Plan cannot be exercised until the Eligible Employee has entered into an election with the Company or the Employer as appropriate (in a form approved by the Employer and HMRC) (a “joint election”) under which any liability of the Company Group for Employer’s National Insurance contributions arising in respect of the grant, exercise of or other dealing in the rights granted under the Plan, or the acquisition of shares of Common Stock on exercise of the right, is transferred to and met by the Eligible Employee.

 

(c)Without prejudice to the terms of the Plan, rights cannot be exercised until the Eligible Employee has made such arrangements as the Company Group may require for the satisfaction of any Tax Liability that may arise in connection with the exercise of the right and/or the acquisition of the shares of Common Stock by the Eligible Employee.  Where any Tax Liability is likely to arise, the Company Group may recover from the Eligible Employee an amount of money sufficient to meet the Tax Liability by any of the following arrangements:

 

(i)deduction from salary or other payments due to the Eligible Employee; 

 

(ii)withholding the issue, allotment or transfer to the Eligible Employee of that number of shares of Common Stock (otherwise to be acquired by the Eligible Employee on the exercise of the right) whose aggregate market value on date of exercise is, so far as possible, equal to, but not less than, the amount of Tax Liability (together with the fees and expenses incurred in the sale of the shares of Common Stock, where the Company intends to sell the shares to meet the Tax Liability); 

 

 

 

 

(iii)withholding the issue, allotment or transfer to the Eligible Employee of the shares of Common Stock otherwise to be acquired by the Eligible Employee pursuant to the right until the Eligible Employee has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Company Group that he has given irrevocable instructions to a third party (for example, a broker) satisfactory to the Company Group to sell a sufficient number of those shares to ensure the net proceeds are so far as possible, equal to but not less than, the amount of the Tax Liability; or

 

(iv)where the Tax Liability arises as a result of a release or assignment by the Eligible Employee of the right, a deduction from the payment made to him as consideration for such release or assignment.

 

(d)Section 2(c) of this Sub-Plan will not apply where the Eligible Employee has, before the allotment, issuance or transfer of the shares of Common Stock to be issued or transferred to the Eligible Employee as a result of the exercise of the right, paid to the Company Group, in cleared funds a sum equal to the Tax Liability arising on the exercise of the right.

 

(e)The Eligible Employee agrees that if the Eligible Employee does not pay his or her Employer or the Company does not withhold from Eligible Employee the full amount of any Tax Liability within 90 days after the end of the tax year in which the Taxable Event occurred, or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003, then the amount that should have been withheld shall constitute a loan owed by the Eligible Employee to the Employer, effective 90 days after the end of the tax year in which the Taxable Event occurred.  The Eligible Employee agrees that the loan will bear interest at the HMRC’s official rate and will be immediately due and repayable by the Eligible Employee, and the Company and/or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by: (i) withholding the funds from salary, bonus or any other funds due to the Eligible Employee by the Employer; (ii) withholding in Common Stock issued upon vesting and exercise of the Option or from the cash proceeds from the sale of Common Stock; or (iii) demanding cash or a cheque from the Eligible Employee.  The Eligible Employee also authorizes the Company to delay the issuance of any Common Stock to the Eligible Employee unless and until the loan is repaid in full.

 

3. NO EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS

Further to Section 12.9 of the Plan, the terms of Eligible Employee’s employment are not affected or changed in any way by the grant of any Options and neither the Plan nor the Sub-Plan afford the Eligible Employee any rights to compensation or damages including for loss or potential loss that the Eligible Employee may suffer by reason of being unable to exercise the Option as a result of the termination of the Plan or the Sub-Plan, lapse of the Option or the termination of Eligible Employee’s employment.Document

The Plan is intended to be a “bonus program” as defined under U.S. Department of Labor regulation 2510.3-2(c) and shall be construed and administered in accordance with such intention.

Each Eligible Employee shall be eligible to receive a Fixed Allocation Bonus Amount up to such person’s Fixed Allocation Bonus Target, if applicable, or such lesser amount as determined by the Chief Executive Officer (or, with respect to the Chief Executive Officer, by the Compensation Committee) in the Chief Executive Officer’s (or the Compensation Committee’s) sole discretion as of the Closing; provided that the Eligible Employee continues to be employed through and including the Closing Date.  In the event an Eligible Employee receives a Fixed Allocation Bonus Amount below such Eligible Employee’s Fixed Allocation Bonus Target pursuant to this Section 4(a)(3), the positive difference shall be automatically reallocated to the other Eligible Employees in proportion to their Equity held as of the Measurement Date.

4164-4004-5855

(ii)Designation of Eligible Employees; Allocation of Bonus Pool.  Any person who is an employee of the Company (or any subsidiary) may be designated as an Eligible Employee for purposes of the Discretionary Allocation Pool from time to time prior to the Closing Date by the Chief Executive Officer (or, with respect to the Chief Executive Officer, by the Compensation Committee).  With respect to each Eligible Employee, the Chief Executive Officer (or, with respect to the Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee) shall establish a Discretionary Allocation Bonus Amount, which, together with any additional terms and conditions, shall be set forth in writing from time to time in a Participation Agreement between the Eligible Employee and the Company.  At no time may the aggregate sum of the Discretionary Allocation Bonuses exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the Bonus Pool.  
(iii)Discretionary Allocation Bonus Forfeiture.  If an Eligible Employee ceases to be eligible to receive a Discretionary Allocation Bonus Amount pursuant to the Plan, including, without limitation, by virtue of a termination of employment with the Company for any reason prior to the Closing Date, such Eligible Employee’s Discretionary Allocation Bonus Amount shall be automatically forfeited.
(c)Forfeitures; Unallocated Amounts.

5.Distributions.
(a)An Eligible Employee must be an active employee of the Company (or any subsidiary) in good standing on the Closing Date to be eligible to receive his or her Bonus Amount. Upon termination of an Eligible Employee’s employment prior to the Closing Date, such Eligible Employee shall no longer be an Eligible Employee in the Plan and shall not be entitled to any distributions hereunder.
(b)If the conditions for distribution set forth in the Plan are satisfied, the Bonus Amounts, subject to adjustment as provided herein, shall be distributed to Eligible Employees on or as soon as practicable after (but in no event later than thirty (30) days following) the Closing Date.
(c)Section 280G.
(i)Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, if any payment or benefit an Eligible Employee would receive from the Company or otherwise (a “Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Code Section 280G; and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Code Section 4999 (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment shall be equal to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” shall be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax; or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in such Eligible Employee’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Payment.
    6
4164-4004-5855

(ii)If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount and no portion of such Payment is subject to the Excise Tax, reduction shall occur in the following order: first, reduction of cash payments, which shall occur in reverse chronological order such that the cash payment owed on the latest date following the occurrence of the event triggering such excise tax will be the first cash payment to be reduced; second, cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards, which shall occur in the reverse order of the date of grant for such stock awards (i.e., the vesting of the most recently granted stock awards will be reduced first); and third, reduction of employee benefits, which shall occur in reverse chronological order such that the benefit owed on the latest date following the occurrence of the event triggering such excise tax will be the first benefit to be reduced.  If two or more equity awards are granted on the same date, each award will be reduced on a pro-rata basis.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Company submits any payment or benefit payable to the Eligible Employee under the Plan or otherwise to the Company’s stockholders for approval in accordance with Treasury Reg. Section 1.280G-1 Q&A 7, the foregoing provisions shall not apply following such submission and such payments and benefits will be treated in accordance with the results of such vote, except that any reduction in, or waiver of, such payments or benefits required by such vote will be applied without any application of discretion by the Eligible Employee and in the order prescribed by this Section 5(c).  In no event shall the Eligible Employee have any discretion with respect to the ordering of payment reductions.
(iii)A nationally recognized certified professional services firm selected by the Company, the Company’s legal counsel or such other person or entity to which the parties mutually agree (the “Firm”) shall perform the foregoing calculations related to the Excise Tax.  The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by the Firm required to be made hereunder.  For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 5(c), the Firm may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Code Sections 280G and 4999.  The Company and the Eligible Employee will furnish to the Firm such information and documents as the Firm may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 5(c).  Any good faith determinations of the Firm made hereunder shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon the Company and the Eligible Employee. 
6.Amendment or Termination of the Plan.
(a)The Compensation Committee at any time, and from time to time prior to the Closing, may amend or terminate the Plan in any manner in its sole discretion; provided, however, the Plan may not be amended or terminated on or following the issuance of a Participation Agreement without the consent of each Eligible Employee affected by the amendment or termination, except (i) pursuant to Section 12, as may be required by any applicable law or as necessary to correct administrative errors, and (ii) to adjust the Plan in the event securities or other assets or property become available for distribution to the holders of the Company’s equity securities in addition to, or in lieu of, cash in connection with a Corporate Transaction).
(b)The Plan shall automatically terminate upon the earlier of (i) the completion of all payments under the terms of the Plan, (ii) the closing of the Company’s first underwritten public 
    7
4164-4004-5855

offering of the Company’s equity securities registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that occurs prior to the Closing, (iii) a determination by the Compensation Committee to terminate the Plan, consistent with Section 6(a) above, or (iv) the five (5) year anniversary of the date hereof.
7.No Guarantee of Future Service.
Selection of an individual to participate as an Eligible Employee under the Plan shall not provide any guarantee or promise of continued service of the Eligible Employee with the Company (or any of its subsidiaries), and the Company retains the right to terminate the employment of any employee at any time, with or without cause, for any reason or no reason, except as may be restricted by law or contract.
8.No Equity Interest.
Neither the Plan nor any distribution hereunder creates or conveys any equity or ownership interest in the Company or any rights commonly associated with such interests, including, without limitation, the right to vote on any matters put before the stockholders of the Company.
9.Tax Withholding.
The Company shall withhold from any distributions under the Plan and/or require the Eligible Employees to remit payments to the Company for any amount required to satisfy the Company’s income, employment or other tax withholding obligations under federal, state or other applicable law.  The Eligible Employees shall be solely responsible for any tax withholding obligations and shall be responsible for remitting any necessary funds to the Company to meet such tax withholding obligations. The Company cannot and has not guaranteed that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) will determine that the Plan benefits are not deferred compensation within the meaning of Code Section 409A.  If the IRS determines that the Plan benefits are deferred compensation, the Eligible Employees shall be solely responsible for the Eligible Employees’ costs related to such a determination, if any.
10.Unfunded Plan.
The Plan shall be funded out of the Company’s general assets.  No provision of the Plan shall require the Company, for the purpose of satisfying any obligations under the Plan, to purchase assets or place any assets in a trust or other entity to which contributions are made or otherwise to segregate any assets, nor shall the Company maintain separate bank accounts, books, records or other evidence of the existence of a segregated or separately maintained or administered fund for such purposes.  Eligible Employees shall have no rights under the Plan other than as unsecured general creditors of the Company.
11.Nonassignability.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, an Eligible Employee’s right or benefits under the Plan shall not be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber or charge the same shall be 
    8
4164-4004-5855

void.  No right or benefit hereunder shall in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, or torts of the person entitled to such benefit.
12.Code Section 409A.
Each payment and benefit payable under the Plan is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations.  Bonus Amounts under the Plan are intended to fall within the “short-term deferral” exemption from Code Section 409A and, if such payments fail to fall within such exemption, to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, and the Plan shall be interpreted consistent with such intent.  The Company and each Eligible Employee will work together in good faith to consider either (i) amendments to the Plan; or (ii) revisions to the Plan with respect to the payment of any Bonus Amounts, in each case to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of taxes and penalties under Code Section 409A.  Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion and without the consent of any Eligible Employee, to take such reasonable actions and make any amendments to the Plan as it deems necessary, advisable or desirable to comply with Code Section 409A or to otherwise avoid the imposition of taxes and penalties under Code Section 409A.
13.Choice of Law.
All questions concerning the construction, validation and interpretation of the Plan will be governed by the law of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.
14.Successors and Assigns.
The Plan shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns and upon a Closing the Company shall require its successor(s) or assign(s) to assume the Company’s obligations under the Plan.
15.Headings.
The headings in the Plan are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof nor to affect the meaning thereof.

    ________________________ (the “Eligible Employee”) has been selected to participate in the Prosper Marketplace, Inc. Eligible Employee Retention Plan, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”).  Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

    Date of Issuance:                  ______________

Type of Allocation:  

___    Fixed Allocation Bonus (target amount based on the proportion of Company equity the Eligible Employee holds compared to the equity held by all other Fixed Allocation Bonus Pool participants)

___    Discretionary Allocation Bonus Amount:    $_________ 

The Bonus Amount shall be distributed in accordance with the Plan.

In the event that the Eligible Employee is not an active employee of the Company (or any subsidiary) in good standing as of the Closing of a Corporate Transaction, the Eligible Employee will have no rights to receive the Bonus Amount under the Plan and this Participation Agreement shall be null and void.

The Eligible Employee acknowledges that any interest in his or her Bonus Amount is subject to the conditions of the Plan and this Participation Agreement.  The Eligible Employee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and represents that the Eligible Employee has read and is familiar with its provisions.

As a further condition to receipt of the Bonus Amount: Eligible Employee covenant and agrees, as follows:

•Confidentiality.  The Eligible Employee hereby acknowledges that the success of the Company after the Closing depends upon the continued preservation of the confidentiality of certain Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined) possessed by the Eligible Employee, that the preservation of the confidentiality of such Confidential Information by the Eligible Employee and its Related Parties (as defined below) is an essential premise of the transactions contemplated by the applicable documents governing the Corporate Transaction (“Transaction Documents”), and accordingly agrees with the Company, on behalf of itself and its Related Parties, that the Eligible Employee will not, and will cause its Related Parties not to (in each case, other than to their affiliates and representatives owing a duty of confidentiality to the Eligible Employee or their affiliates), at any time disclose or use any confidential or proprietary information (whether or not in written form and whether or not 
    11
4164-4004-5855

expressly designated as confidential), documents or materials of or concerning the Company, or relating directly or indirectly to the business, operations, financial affairs, performance, assets, technology, processes, trade secrets, products, contracts, customers, suppliers, personnel or plans of the Company, and the terms of the Transaction Documents and the other agreements and transactions contemplated thereby (“Confidential Information”), except to the extent necessary in connection with an Eligible Employee’s tax filings or accounting matters and except to the extent that such Confidential Information is requested or required to be disclosed to or by any governmental entity or otherwise required to be disclosed by applicable law or legal or regulatory process or proceeding (although in such event, the Eligible Employee agrees to notify the surviving corporation in writing as promptly as practicable of such requirement, so that the surviving corporation may seek an appropriate protective order with respect to such requested or required disclosure (and, if the surviving corporation seeks such an order, the Eligible Employee agrees to provide, at the surviving corporation’s expense, such cooperation as the surviving corporation may reasonably request in connection therewith)); provided, however, that this paragraph does not and will not apply to any information that is or becomes generally available to or known by the public, other than as a result of a disclosure by the Eligible Employee or any of the Eligible Employee’s Related Parties in violation of this paragraph.  The Eligible Employee shall be responsible for any breach of this paragraph by the Eligible Employee’s Related Parties and any other Person who receive any such Confidential Information, directly or indirectly, from the Eligible Employee.

•Permitted Disclosures. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b), the Eligible Employee understands that the Eligible Employee will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret of the Company that (a) is made (i) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to the Eligible Employee’s attorney and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding.  The Eligible Employee understands that if the Eligible Employee files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, the Eligible Employee may disclose the trade secret to the Eligible Employee’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if the Eligible Employee (x) files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and (y) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.  Nothing in the Plan, this Participation Agreement, or any other agreement that the Eligible Employee has with the Company is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by such section.  Further, nothing in the Plan, this Participation Agreement or any other agreement that the Eligible Employee has with the Company shall prohibit or restrict the Eligible Employee from (A) making any voluntary disclosure of information or documents concerning possible violations of law to any governmental agency or legislative body, or any self-regulatory organization, in each case, without advance notice to the Company; or (B) responding to a valid subpoena, court order or similar legal process; provided, however, that prior to making any such disclosure, the Eligible Employee shall provide the Company with written notice of the subpoena, court order or similar legal process sufficiently in advance of such disclosure to afford the

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Participation Agreement will waive or preclude the Eligible Employee from exercising the Eligible Employee’s rights, if any, (A) to receive and be paid the Bonus Amount payable under, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in, the Plan or (B) to receive and be paid the portion of any merger consideration payable under, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in, the Transaction Documents that triggers payment under the Plan in respect of each share of Company capital stock held (or the right to acquire such capital stock) by the Eligible Employee immediately prior to the consummation of such Corporate Transaction.

by signing this Participation Agreement, the Eligible Employee, on behalf of the Eligible Employee and his or her Related Parties, expressly waives and releases any provision of law that purports to limit the scope of a general release, including any and all rights and benefits under Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California (or any analogous law of any other state, to the extent applicable), which reads as follows:

    “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”
