Asana, Inc.

Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy

Each member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) who is not also serving as an employee of or consultant to Asana, Inc. (the “Company”) or any of its subsidiaries (each such member, an “Eligible Director”) will receive the compensation described in this Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy for his or her Board service upon and following the listing date of the Company’s stock on a national stock exchange (the “Effective Date”). An Eligible Director may decline all or any portion of his or her compensation by giving notice to the Company prior to the date cash may be paid or equity awards are to be granted, as the case may be. This policy is effective as of the Effective Date and may be amended at any time in the sole discretion of the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board.

I.    Annual Cash Compensation

The annual cash compensation amount set forth below is payable to Eligible Directors in equal quarterly installments, payable in arrears on the last day of each fiscal quarter in which the service occurred (each such date, a “Retainer Accrual Date”). If an Eligible Director joins the Board or a committee of the Board at a time other than effective as of the first day of a fiscal quarter, each annual retainer set forth below will be pro-rated based on days served in the applicable fiscal quarter, with the pro-rated amount paid on the last day of the first fiscal quarter in which the Eligible Director provides the service and regular full quarterly payments thereafter. All annual cash fees are vested upon payment. 

1.    Annual Board Service Retainer: 
a.    All Eligible Directors: $30,000
b.    Independent Chair of the Board Service Retainer (in addition to Eligible Director Service Retainer): $15,000

2.    Annual Committee Chair Service Retainer:
a.    Chair of the Audit Committee: $20,000
b.    Chair of the Compensation Committee: $12,000
c.    Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee: $7,500

3.    Annual Committee Member Service Retainer (not applicable to Committee Chairs):
a.    Member of the Audit Committee: $10,000
b.    Member of the Compensation Committee: $6,000
c.    Member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee: $3,750

II.    Equity Compensation

Subject to its approval by the Company’s stockholders, the equity compensation set forth below will be granted pursuant to the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which provides, among other things, that the aggregate value of all compensation granted or paid, as 
    
 
 

applicable, to any individual for service as a non-employee director with respect to any calendar year, including awards granted and cash fees paid by the Company to such non-employee director, will not exceed (i) $750,000 in total value or (ii) in the event such non-employee director is first appointed or elected to the Board during such calendar year, $1,000,000 in total value, in each case, calculating the value of any equity awards based on the grant date fair value of such equity awards for financial reporting purposes (“grant date fair value”).

1.    Initial Grant: For each Eligible Director who is first elected or appointed to the Board following the Effective Date, on the date of such Eligible Director’s initial election or appointment to the Board (or, if such date is not a market trading day, the first market trading day thereafter), the Eligible Director will be automatically, and without further action by the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board, granted a restricted stock unit award with a grant date fair value of $350,000 (the “Initial Grant”). The shares subject to each Initial Grant (i) will vest in equal annual installments over a three-year period such that the Initial Grant is fully vested on the third anniversary of the date of grant and (ii) will vest in full upon a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), in either case, subject to the Eligible Director’s Continuous Service (as defined in the Plan) through each such vesting date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each share subject to the Initial Grant that vests shall be subject to a holding period and shall not be issued or delivered to the Eligible Director until the earlier to occur of (a) the first anniversary of the vesting date and (b) a “change in control event” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

2.    Annual Grant: On the date of each annual stockholder meeting of the Company held after the Effective Date, each Eligible Director who (i) has served as a non-employee member of the Board for more than six months as of such date and (ii) will continue to serve as a non-employee member of the Board following such stockholder meeting will be automatically, and without further action by the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board, granted a restricted stock unit award with a grant date fair value of $175,000 (the “Annual Grant”). The shares subject to the Annual Grant (a) will vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant, provided that the Annual Grant will in any case be fully vested on the date of Company’s next annual stockholder meeting, and (b) will vest in full upon a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), in either case, subject to the Eligible Director’s Continuous Service (as defined in the Plan) through such vesting date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each share subject to the Annual Grant that vests shall be subject to a holding period and shall not be issued or delivered to the Eligible Director until the earlier to occur of (1) the second anniversary of the vesting date and (2) a “change in control event” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.

3.    Elections to Receive an Equity Grant in Lieu of Cash Retainer.

a.Retainer Grant. Each Eligible Director may elect to forego receiving payment of all of his or her compensation otherwise earned and payable in cash under Article I for any applicable period into a grant of fully vested shares of Common Stock (each, a “Retainer Grant”) if such election is timely made in accordance with the requirements of this Section 3 (such election, a “Retainer Grant Election”).  If an Eligible Director timely makes a Retainer Grant Election pursuant to Section 3.b, on the first business day following each Retainer Accrual 
    

Date to which the Retainer Grant Election applies, and without any further action by the Board or Compensation Committee, such Eligible Director automatically will be granted a number of fully vested shares of Common Stock equal to (A) the aggregate amount of cash compensation otherwise payable to such Eligible Director under Article I on the Retainer Accrual Date to which the Retainer Grant Election applies divided by (B) the closing sales price per share of the Common Stock on the applicable Retainer Accrual Date (or, if such date is not a business day, on the first business day thereafter), rounded down to the nearest whole share.
b.Election Mechanics.  Each Retainer Grant Election must be submitted to the Company’s General Counsel (or such other individual as the Company designates) in writing prior to the applicable deadline specified by the Company’s General Counsel (or such other individual as the Company designates) for making such Retainer Grant Election. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Eligible Director participates in the Company’s Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan (the “DDCP”), such election deadline in all cases must be (i) within 30 days after the Eligible Director first becomes eligible to participate in the DDCP or (ii) a date preceding the first date of the calendar year during which the cash compensation would otherwise have been earned and which will be subject to such Retainer Grant Election, subject to any other conditions specified by the Board or Compensation Committee of the Board.  An Eligible Director may only make a Retainer Grant Election during a period in which the Company is not in a quarterly or special blackout period and the Eligible Director is not aware of any material non-public information.  Once a Retainer Grant Election is properly submitted, it will be in effect and automatically applicable to all cash compensation that would otherwise be earned and paid under Article I unless and until the Eligible Director timely revokes it in accordance with Section 3.c below.  An Eligible Director who fails to make a timely Retainer Grant Election will not receive a Retainer Grant and instead will receive the cash compensation under Article I.
c.Revocation Mechanics. The revocation of any previously submitted Retainer Grant Election must be submitted to the Company’s General Counsel (or such other individual as the Company designates) in writing prior to the applicable deadline specified by the Company’s General Counsel (or such other individual as the Company designates) for making such revocation election. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Eligible Director participates in the DDCP, such revocation deadline in all cases must be a date preceding the first date of the calendar year during which the cash compensation would otherwise have been earned, subject to any other conditions specified by the Board or Compensation Committee.  An Eligible Director may only revoke a Retainer Grant Election during a period in which the Company is not in a quarterly or special blackout period and the Eligible Director is not aware of any material non-public information.  Following such revocation, no Retainer Grant Election will be in effect for such Eligible Director unless and until the Eligible Director timely makes a new Retainer Grant Election in accordance with the election procedures specified Section 3.b above.

ARTICLE 1.INTRODUCTIONS
a.Establishment.  Asana, Inc. (the “Company”) established this Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) for those members of the Company’s Board of Directors who are not employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.  The Plan allows Eligible Directors to defer the receipt of Director Fees and to receive settlement of the right to receive payment of such amounts in the form of an issuance of Shares and/or cash.  Capitalized terms used in the Plan have the definitions set forth in Article 12.
b.Purpose.  This Plan is intended to advance the interests of the Company and its stockholders by providing a means to attract and retain qualified persons to serve as Eligible Directors and to promote Company equity ownership by Eligible Directors, thereby aligning such Eligible Directors’ interests more closely with the interests of the stockholders of the Company.
c.Effective Date.  This Plan became effective as of November 18, 2020 (the “Effective Date”).
ARTICLE 2.ELIGIBILITY
a.Effective Date Eligibility.  Each person who was an Eligible Director on the Effective Date became eligible to participate in the Plan on the Effective Date.  
b.Initial Board Appointment Eligibility.  Each person who becomes an Eligible Director following the Effective Date shall become eligible on the date of the Eligible Director’s initial appointment to the Board.
c.Change in Employment Status.  If any Participant subsequently becomes an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, such Participant shall not be eligible to defer any Director Fees earned during any calendar year that commences following such change in status, if applicable.  Such change in status shall not otherwise impact the Participant’s Accounts, which will continue to be administered in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Participant’s Deferral Election.
ARTICLE 3.DEFERRAL ELECTIONS
a.Deferral Elections.  Each Eligible Director may elect to defer (a) either 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% of such Eligible Director’s Cash Director Fees for a calendar year and/or (b) either 0% or 100% of such Eligible Director’s Stock Director Fees for a calendar year by submitting a completed Deferral Election form to the Administrator in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article 3.
b.Timing of Deferral Election.  An Eligible Director may make a Deferral Election within thirty (30) days after the date on which such Eligible Director initially becomes eligible to participate in the Plan (the “Initial Election Period”).  An Eligible Director who does not make a Deferral Election within the Initial Election Period may make a Deferral Election in accordance with administrative procedures established by the Administrator.
c.Effect and Duration of Deferral Election.  A Deferral Election shall apply only to Director Fees earned after the date such election is made and is irrevocable consistent with the requirements of Section 409A.  Any Deferral Election made within the Initial Election Period will be irrevocable upon expiration of the Initial Election Period and will apply to any Director Fees earned 
1
    

during calendar quarters that commence following expiration of such Initial Election Period, including calendar quarters in any subsequent calendar year.  Any Deferral Election made after expiration of the Initial Election Period will be irrevocable as of December 31st of the calendar year in which it was made and will apply to any Director Fees earned in any subsequent calendar year.  Deferral Elections shall evergreen so that they will continue in effect and will be applicable to Director Fees earned in all subsequent calendar years, unless and until such Deferral Election is modified as provided in Section 3.4.
d.Modifications to Deferral Elections.  A Participant may revoke or modify a prior Deferral Election by submitting a new Deferral Election to the Administrator at such time before the first day of any subsequent calendar year in accordance with procedures established by the Administrator.  Any modified Deferral Election will commence effectiveness with respect to such subsequent calendar year and will evergreen and remain effective for calendar years commencing thereafter. 
e.Form of Deferral Election.  A Deferral Election shall be made in a form approved by the Administrator (including in the form attached to the Plan as Appendix I).  
ARTICLE 4.DEFERRED COMPENSATION ACCOUNTS
a.Establishment of Stock Unit Accounts.  The Company shall establish a Stock Unit Account for each Participant.  All Director Fees deferred pursuant to Article 3 by a Participant who has elected to receive deferred compensation in the form of Shares shall be converted to Stock Units which are credited to the Participant’s Stock Unit Account on the Deferral Date.  Stock Director Fees deferred under the Plan will have the number of Shares subject to such deferral election converted into an equivalent number of Stock Units credited to the Participant’s Stock Unit Account.  With respect to any Cash Director Fees deferred under the Plan, the number of Stock Units credited to a Participant’s Stock Unit Account as of a Deferral Date shall equal the amount of the deferred Director Fees divided by the Fair Market Value of a Share on such Deferral Date, with fractional Stock Units calculated to three decimal places.  Fractional Stock Units shall be credited cumulatively, but any fractional Stock Unit credited to a Participant’s Stock Unit Account at the time of a distribution under Article 5 shall be converted into the right to receive a cash amount equal to the Fair Market Value of a corresponding fractional Share on the date of distribution. As of each dividend payment date with respect to Shares, if any, each Participant shall have credited to such Participant’s Stock Unit Account a dollar amount equal to the amount of cash dividends that would have been paid on the number of Shares equal to the number of Stock Units credited to the Participant’s Stock Unit Account as of the close of business on the record date for such dividend.  Such dollar amount shall then be converted into a number of Stock Units equal to the number of whole and fractional Shares that could have been purchased with such dollar amount at Fair Market Value on the dividend payment date.  In the event of a reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, spin off, combination, corporate exchange, merger, consolidation or other change in the Shares that does not qualify as a Change in Control, or any distribution to holders of Shares other than cash dividends or any transaction determined in good faith by the Administrator to be similar to the foregoing, the Administrator shall make appropriate equitable changes in the number of Stock Units credited to the Participant’s Stock Unit Account.
b.Establishment of Cash Account.  The Company shall establish a Cash Account for each Participant.  The Company shall credit, on the Deferral Date, to the Cash Account of each Participant the deferred portion of any Cash Director Fees due the Participant as to which an election to defer the receipt of cash has been made.  Fees deferred in the form of cash shall be held in the general funds of the Company and shall not accrue interest.

ARTICLE 5.DISTRIBUTION OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION
a.Settlement.  Settlement of a Participant’s Stock Unit Account will be effected by delivering to the Participant a number of Shares equal to the number of whole Stock Units credited to the Participant’s Stock Unit Account.  The source of Shares distributed pursuant to this Plan shall be the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan or any successor equity incentive plan adopted by the Company.  Any fractional Stock Units credited to a Participant’s Stock Unit Account at the time of a distribution and the full balance of the Participant’s Cash Account shall be paid in cash at the time of such distribution.
b.Time and Form of Distribution.  Amounts credited to a Participant’s Accounts will be distributed in a single lump sum to the Participant on the date, if any, selected by the Participant pursuant to the Participant’s election made pursuant to Article 3 (or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter); provided, however, that if the Participant has not selected a distribution date or the Participant’s selected distribution date is after the Participant’s Separation from Service, then distribution shall be made, in the form of a single lump sum, on the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service (or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter). 
c.Specified Employee Delay in Distribution Upon Separation from Service.  The provisions of this Section 5.3 shall apply to the extent necessary to avoid adverse tax consequences to a Participant under Section 409A.  Except as set forth in section 5.5, if a Participant is a Specified Employee no distribution to such Participant which is triggered by a Separation from Service will be made any earlier than six months and one day following the date of the Separation from Service.  
d.Distribution upon Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control at any time prior to the distribution of the Participant’s Accounts, as soon as administratively feasible after such Change in Control, the entire balance of the Participant’s Accounts shall be immediately distributed to the Participant.
e.Distribution upon Death.  In the event of a Participant’s death at any time prior to distribution of the Participant’s Accounts, as soon as administratively feasible after the Participant’s death, the entire balance of the Participant’s Accounts shall be immediately distributed to the beneficiary designated by the Participant under Article 7.
f.Distribution upon Unforeseeable Emergency.  In the event the Participant experiences an unforeseeable emergency as defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(i)(3), the Administrator may, at the request of the Participant, make a distribution from the Participant’s Accounts equivalent to the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need. The balance of the Accounts will not be distributed until the occurrence of the earliest distribution event specified in this Article 5.  Unforeseeable emergency distributions will be administered in manner compliant with the requirements of Section 409A.
g.Specified Date Distribution Downstream Election Changes. A Participant who had elected to receive distribution in settlement of the Participant’s Accounts on a Specified Date is permitted to elect to delay a distribution or change the form of a distribution in accordance with procedures established by the Administrator so long as the following conditions are met: 
(a)Such election does not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the election is made; 
(b)Such election must defer the distribution for a period of at least five (5) years from the date such distribution would otherwise have been made; and
3
    

(c)If the distribution is scheduled to be made at a specified time, then such election must be made no less than twelve (12) months before the date the distribution is scheduled to be made.
Any subsequent deferral election shall become irrevocable as of the last permissible date for making such subsequent deferral election. 
ARTICLE 6.UNFUNDED STATUS
a.General.  The interest of each Participant in any Director Fees deferred under the Plan (and any Accounts relating thereto) shall be that of a general creditor of the Company.  Accounts shall at all times be maintained by the Company as bookkeeping entries evidencing unfunded and unsecured general obligations of the Company.  Except as provided in Section 6.2, no money or other assets shall be set aside for any Participant.
b.Trust.  To the extent determined by the Board, the Company may, but shall not be required to, transfer funds necessary to fund all or part of the payments under the Plan to a trust; provided, the assets held in such trust shall remain at all times subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Company.  No participant or beneficiary shall have any interest in the assets held in such trust or in the general assets of the Company other than as a general, unsecured creditor.  Accordingly, the Company shall not grant a security interest in the assets held by the trust in favor of any Participant, beneficiary or creditor.
ARTICLE 7.DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY
a.Beneficiary Designation.  Each Participant may designate one or more beneficiaries to receive settlement of the Participant’s Accounts in the event of such Participant’s death.  The Company may rely upon the beneficiary designation filed with the Administrator, provided that such form was executed by the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative and filed with the Administrator prior to the Participant’s death.  If a Participant has not designated a beneficiary, or if the designated beneficiary is not surviving when a payment is to be made to such person under the Plan, the beneficiary with respect to such payment shall be the Participant’s surviving spouse, or if there is no surviving spouse, the Participant’s estate.
ARTICLE 8.ADMINISTRATION
a.Administrator.  The Plan shall be administered by the Administrator appointed by the Board.  Unless the Board determines otherwise, the Administrator shall be a committee of Company employees consisting of at least the General Counsel, Head of People, and the Chief Financial Officer, or one or more Company employees selected by them as their delegates as evidenced in writing.  The Administrator shall have the authority to make all determinations it deems necessary or advisable for administering the Plan, subject to the express provisions of the Plan, and to delegate its authority to one or more Company employees.
b.Binding Effect of Decisions.  The decision or action of the Administrator with respect to any question arising out of or in connection with the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan and the rules and regulations promulgated hereunder shall be final and conclusive and binding upon the Participants and any other persons having any interest in the Plan.
4
    

c.Indemnification of Administrator.  The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the members of the committee comprising the Administrator, and any Company employee to whom the duties of the Administrator are delegated, against any and all claims, losses, damages, expenses or liabilities arising from any action or failure to act with respect to this Plan, except in the case of willful misconduct.
ARTICLE 9.TAXES
a.409A Savings.  This Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.  The Administrator shall interpret the Plan provisions in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A. To the extent one or more provisions of this Plan do not comply with Section 409A, such provision shall be automatically and immediately voided, and shall be amended as soon as administratively feasible and shall be administered to so comply.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary in the Plan, the Company and its representatives shall have no liability to any Participant should any provision of the Plan fail to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A.
ARTICLE 10.SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE
a.Action by Administrator.  With respect to any Participant who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, any function of the Administrator under the Plan relating to such Participant shall be performed solely by the Board or its Compensation Committee, if and to the extent required to ensure the availability of an exemption under Section 16 of the Exchange Act for any transaction relating to such Participant under the Plan.
b.Compliance with Section 16.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any rule, instruction, election form or other form, the Plan and any such rule, instruction or form shall be subject to any additional conditions or limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, such provision, rule, instruction or form shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.
ARTICLE 11.GENERAL PROVISIONS
a.No Stockholder Rights Conferred.  Nothing contained in the Plan will confer upon any Participant or beneficiary any rights of a stockholder of the Company, unless and until Shares are in fact issued or transferred to such Participant or beneficiary in accordance with Article 5.
b.Changes to the Plan.  The Administrator may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, extend, or terminate the Plan without the consent of Participants; provided, no action taken without the consent of an affected Participant may materially impair the rights of such Participant with respect to any Stock Units or cash amounts credited to the Participant’s Accounts at the time of such change or termination.
c.Compliance With Laws and Obligations.  The Company will not be obligated to issue or deliver Shares in connection with the Plan in a transaction subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any other federal or state securities law, any requirement under any listing agreement between the Company and any national securities exchange or automated quotation system or any other laws, regulations, or contractual obligations of the Company, until the Company is satisfied that such laws, regulations and other obligations of the Company have been complied with in 
5
    

full.  Certificates representing Shares delivered under the Plan will be subject to such restrictions as may be applicable under such laws, regulations and other obligations of the Company.
d.Limitations on Transferability.  Stock Units and other rights under the Plan may not be pledged, mortgaged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered, and shall not be subject to the claims of creditors of any Participant.

e.Governing Law.  The validity, construction and effect of the Plan and any agreement hereunder will be determined in accordance with laws of the State of Delaware.
f.Plan Termination.  The Administrator reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time to the extent such termination is in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A.  Unless earlier terminated by action of the Board, the Plan will remain in effect until such time as the Company and the Participants have no further rights or obligations under the Plan.
g.Acceleration of Plan Distributions.  The Administrator reserves the right to accelerate the distribution of amounts in settlement of Accounts to the extent compliant with the requirements of Section 409A, including any accelerated distribution permitted by Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(j)(4).
