HEWLETT PACKARD ENTERPRISE COMPANY 

2015 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN 

1. PURPOSE. 
 The purpose of this Plan is
to provide an opportunity for Employees of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (the “Corporation”) and its Designated Affiliates to purchase Common Stock of the Corporation and thereby to have an additional incentive to contribute to the
prosperity of the Corporation. It is the intention of the Corporation that the Plan qualify as an “Employee Stock Purchase Plan” under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, although the Corporation makes no
undertaking nor representation to maintain such qualification. In addition, this Plan document authorizes the grant of options under a non-423 Plan which do not qualify under Section 423 of the Code pursuant to rules, procedures or sub-plans
adopted by the Board (or its designate) designed to achieve desired tax or other objectives.

3. ELIGIBILITY. 
 Any Employee regularly

under applicable local law) for purposes of the Non-423 Plan or any separate offering under the Code Section 423 Plan, by the Corporation or by any Designated Affiliate on an Entry Date shall be eligible to participate in the Plan with respect
to the Offering Period commencing on such Entry Date, provided that the Committee may establish administrative rules requiring that employment commence some minimum period (e.g., one pay period) prior to an Entry Date to be eligible to
participate with respect to the Offering Period beginning on that Entry Date. The Committee may also determine that a designated group of highly compensated Employees are ineligible to participate in the Plan so long as the excluded category
fits within the definition of “highly compensated employee” in Code Section 414(q). No Employee may participate in the Plan if immediately after an option is granted the Employee owns or is considered to own (within the
meaning of Code Section 424(d)) shares of stock, including stock which the Employee may purchase by conversion of convertible securities or under outstanding options granted by the Corporation, possessing five percent (5%) or more of the
total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Corporation or of any of its Subsidiaries. All Employees who participate in the same offering under the Plan shall have the same rights and privileges under such offering, except
for differences that may be needed to facilitate compliance with applicable local law, as determined by the Corporation and that are consistent with Code Section 423(b)(5); provided, however, that Employees participating in the Non-423 Plan by
means of rules, procedures or sub-plans adopted pursuant to Section 15 need not have the same rights and privileges as Employees participating in the Code Section 423 Plan. The Board may impose
restrictions on eligibility and participation of Employees who are officers and directors to facilitate compliance with federal or state securities laws or foreign laws. 

 Any individual who is an Eligible Employee and who is a participant in the Hewlett- Packard
Company 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan immediately prior to the first Offering Period shall be automatically enrolled in the first Offering Period at the same contribution rate. 

4. OFFERING PERIODS. 
 The Plan shall be
implemented by consecutive Offering Periods with a new Offering Period commencing on the first Trading Day after the completion of the prior Offering Period, or on such other date as the Committee shall determine, and continuing thereafter for six
(6) months or until terminated pursuant to Section 13 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall have the authority to change the duration of Offering Periods to cover a period of up to 24 months, or to change the
commencement dates thereof, including the implementation of overlapping Offering Periods pursuant to which Participants will be deemed to enroll in a new Offering Period if the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on a Purchase Date is lower
than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Entry Date of the relevant Offering Period, with respect to future offerings without Shareowner approval if such change is announced at least five (5) days prior to the scheduled
beginning of the first Offering Period to be affected thereafter. 
 5. PARTICIPATION. 

 

	 	5.1	An Employee who is eligible to participate in the Plan in accordance with Section 3 may become a Participant by completing and submitting, on a date prescribed by the Committee prior to an applicable Entry Date, a
completed payroll deduction authorization or, if applicable local law prohibits payroll deductions for the purpose of the Plan, other authorization stating the amount of Contributions to the Plan, expressed as any whole percentage up to ten percent
(10%) of the eligible Employee’s Compensation, and Plan enrollment form provided by the Corporation or by following an electronic or other enrollment process as prescribed by the Committee. Where applicable local law prohibits payroll
deductions for the purpose of the Plan, the Corporation may permit a Participant to contribute amounts to the Plan through payment by cash, check or other means set forth in the Plan enrollment form prior to each Purchase Date. An eligible Employee
may authorize Contributions at the rate of any whole percentage of the Employee’s Compensation, not to exceed ten percent (10%) of the Employee’s Compensation. All payroll deductions may be held by the Corporation and commingled with
its other corporate funds where administratively appropriate, except where applicable local law requires that Contributions to the Plan from Participants be segregated from the general corporate funds and/or deposited with an independent third
party. No interest shall be paid or credited to the Participant with respect to such Contributions, unless required by local law. The Corporation shall maintain a separate bookkeeping account for each Participant under the Plan and the amount of
each Participant’s Contributions shall be credited to such account. A Participant may not make any additional payments into such account. 

  

	 	5.2	Under procedures established by the Committee, a Participant may withdraw from the Plan during an Offering Period, by completing and filing a new payroll deduction authorization or, if applicable local law prohibits
payroll deductions for the purpose of the Plan, other Contribution authorization and Plan enrollment form with the Corporation or by following electronic or other procedures prescribed by the Committee, prior to the change enrollment deadline
established by the Corporation. If a Participant withdraws from the Plan during an Offering Period, his or her accumulated Contributions will be refunded to the Participant without interest. The Committee may establish rules limiting the
frequency with which Participants may withdraw and re-enroll in the Plan and may impose a waiting period on Participants wishing to re-enroll following withdrawal.

	 	5.3	A Participant may change his or her rate of Contributions at any time by filing a new payroll deduction authorization or, if applicable local law prohibits payroll deductions for the purpose of the Plan, other
authorization stating the amount of Contributions to the Plan expressed as any whole percentage up to ten percent (10%) of the eligible Employee’s Compensation and Plan enrollment form or by following electronic or other procedures
prescribed by the Committee. If a Participant has not followed such procedures to change the rate of Contributions, the rate of Contributions shall continue at the originally elected rate throughout the Offering Period and future Offering Periods.
In accordance with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code, the Committee may reduce a Participant’s Contributions to zero percent (0%) at any time during an Offering Period. 

6. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. 
 In the
event any Participant terminates employment with the Corporation or any of its Designated Affiliates for any reason (including death) prior to the expiration of an Offering Period, the Participant’s participation in the Plan shall terminate and
all amounts credited to the Participant’s account shall be paid to the Participant or, in the case of death, to the Participant’s heirs or estate, without interest. Whether a termination of employment has occurred shall be determined by
the Committee. The Committee may also establish rules regarding when leaves of absence or changes of employment status will be considered to be a termination of employment, including rules regarding transfer of employment among Designated
Affiliates, Affiliates and the Corporation, and the Committee may establish termination-of-employment procedures for this Plan that are independent of similar
rules established under other benefit plans of the Corporation and its Affiliates. 
 7. OFFERING. 

 

	 	7.1	Subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 10, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the Plan shall be 80,000,000. If, on a given Purchase Date, the number of shares with
respect to which options are to be exercised exceeds the number of shares then available under the Plan, the Corporation shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares remaining available for purchase in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable
and as it shall determine to be equitable. For avoidance of doubt, the limitation set forth in this Section may be used to satisfy purchases of shares of Common Stock under either the Code Section 423 Plan or the Non-423 Plan.

  

	 	7.2	Each Offering Period shall be determined by the Committee. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Plan will operate with successive six (6) month Offering Periods commencing at the beginning of each
fiscal year half. The Committee shall have the power to change the duration of future Offering Periods, without Shareowner approval, and without regard to the expectations of any Participants. 

 

	 	7.3	 Each eligible Employee who has elected to participate as provided in Section 5.1 shall be granted an option to purchase that number of shares of
Common Stock (not to exceed 5,000 shares, subject to adjustment under Section 10 of the Plan) which may be purchased with the Contributions accumulated on behalf of such Employee during each Offering Period at the Purchase Price specified in
Section 7.4 below, subject to the additional limitation that no Employee shall be granted an option to purchase Common Stock under the Plan at a rate which exceeds U.S. twenty-five thousand dollars (U.S.
$25,000) of the Fair Market Value 

	 	
of such Common Stock (determined at the time such option is granted) for each calendar year in which such option is outstanding at any time. For purposes of the Plan, an option is
“granted” on a Participant’s Entry Date. An option will expire upon the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of a Participant’s participation in the Plan; or (ii) the termination of an Offering Period. This section
shall be interpreted so as to comply with Code Section 423(b)(8). 

  

	 	7.4	The Committee has the right to establish that the Purchase Price under each option shall be the lower of: (i) a percentage (not less than eighty-five percent
(85%)) established by the Committee (“Designated Percentage”) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Entry Date on which an option is granted, or (ii) the Designated Percentage of the Fair Market Value of the Common
Stock on the Purchase Date on which the Common Stock is purchased. The Committee may change the Designated Percentage with respect to any future Offering Period, but not below eighty-five percent (85%), and
the Committee may determine with respect to any prospective Offering Period that the Purchase Price shall be the Designated Percentage of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Purchase Date. 

 

	 	7.5	For purposes of the Code Section 423 Plan only, and unless the Committee otherwise determines, each Designated Affiliate shall be deemed to participate in a separate offering from the Corporation or any other
Designated Affiliate, provided that the terms of participation within any such offering are the same for all Participants in such offering, to comply with Code Section 423. 

8. PURCHASE OF STOCK. 
 Upon the
expiration of each Purchase Period, a Participant’s option shall be exercised automatically for the purchase of that number of whole shares of Common Stock which the accumulated Contributions credited to the Participant’s account at that
time shall purchase at the applicable Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation or its designee may make such provisions and take such action as it deems necessary or appropriate for the withholding of Tax-Related Items which
the Corporation or its Designated Affiliate is required or permitted by applicable law or regulation of any governmental authority to withhold. Each Participant, however, shall be responsible for payment of all individual Tax-Related Items arising
under the Plan. 
 9. PAYMENT AND DELIVERY. 

As soon as practicable after the exercise of an option, the Corporation shall deliver to the Participant a record of the Common Stock purchased
and the balance of any amount of Contributions credited to the Participant’s account not used for the purchase, except as specified below. The Committee may permit or require that shares delivered to a Participant be deposited directly with a
broker designated by the Committee or with a designated agent of the Corporation, and the Committee may utilize electronic or automated methods of share transfer. The Committee may require that shares be held by such broker or agent for a designated
period and/or may establish, for purposes of the Code Section 423 Plan, procedures to permit tracking of disqualifying dispositions of such shares. The Corporation shall retain the amount of payroll deductions used to purchase Common Stock as
payment for the Common Stock and the Common Stock shall then be fully paid and non-assessable. No Participant shall have any voting, dividend, or other Shareowner rights with respect to shares subject to any
option granted under the Plan until the shares subject to the option have been purchased and delivered to the Participant as provided in this Section 9. 

 10. RECAPITALIZATION. 

If after the grant of an option, but prior to the purchase of Common Stock under the option, there is any increase or decrease in the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock because of a stock split, stock or extraordinary cash dividend, combination or recapitalization of shares subject to options, the number of shares to be purchased pursuant to an option, the price per share of
Common Stock covered by an option and the maximum number of shares specified in Section 7.1 shall be appropriately adjusted by the Board, and the Board shall take any further actions which, in the exercise of its discretion, may be necessary or
appropriate for an equitable adjustment under the circumstances. 
 The Board’s determinations under this Section 10 shall be
conclusive and binding on all parties. 
 11. MERGER, LIQUIDATION, OTHER CORPORATION TRANSACTIONS. 

In the event of the proposed liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation, the Offering Period will terminate immediately prior to the
consummation of such proposed transaction, unless otherwise provided by the Board in its sole discretion, and all outstanding options shall automatically terminate and the amounts of all payroll deductions, or other form of Contributions where
applicable, will be refunded without interest (except as may be required by applicable local law, as determined by the Corporation) to the Participants. 

In the event of a proposed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or the merger or consolidation of the
Corporation with or into another corporation, then in the sole discretion of the Board, (1) each option shall be assumed or an equivalent option shall be substituted by the successor corporation or parent or subsidiary of such successor
corporation, (2) a date established by the Board on or before the date of consummation of such merger, consolidation or sale shall be treated as a Purchase Date, and all outstanding options shall be exercised on such date, or (3) all
outstanding options shall terminate and the accumulated Contributions will be refunded without interest to the Participants. 
 12. TRANSFERABILITY.

 Options granted to Participants may not be voluntarily or involuntarily assigned, transferred, pledged, or otherwise disposed of in
any way, and any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, or other disposition shall be null and void and without effect. If a Participant in any manner attempts to transfer, assign or otherwise encumber his or her rights or interests under the Plan,
other than as set forth in Section 22 and as permitted by the Code, such act shall be treated as an election by the Participant to discontinue participation in the Plan pursuant to Section 5.2. 

13. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN. 
  

	 	13.1	The Plan shall continue in effect until the ten-year anniversary of the effective date of the Plan set forth in Section 20 unless otherwise terminated earlier in accordance with Section 13.2.

  

	 	13.2	The Board may, in its sole discretion, insofar as permitted by law, terminate or suspend the Plan, or revise or amend it in any respect whatsoever, except that, without approval of the Shareowners, no such revision or
amendment shall increase the number of shares subject to the Plan, other than an adjustment under Section 10 of the Plan or materially increase the class of Employees eligible to participate in the Plan. 

 14. ADMINISTRATION. 

The Board shall appoint a Committee consisting of at least two members who will serve for such period of time as the Board may specify and whom
the Board may remove at any time. The Committee will have the authority and responsibility for the day-to-day administration of the Plan, the authority and
responsibility specifically provided in this Plan and any additional duty, responsibility and authority delegated to the Committee by the Board, which may include any of the functions assigned to the Board in this Plan. The Committee may delegate to
one or more individuals the day-to-day administration of the Plan. The Committee shall have full power and authority to promulgate any rules and regulations which
it deems necessary for the proper administration of the Plan, to interpret the provisions and supervise the administration of the Plan, to designate Designated Affiliates under the Plan, to make factual determinations relevant to Plan entitlements
and to take all action in connection with administration of the Plan as it deems necessary or advisable, consistent with the delegation from the Board. Decisions of the Board and the Committee shall be final and binding upon all participants. Any
decision reduced to writing and signed by a majority of the members of the Committee shall be fully effective as if it had been made at a meeting of the Committee duly held. The Corporation shall pay all expenses incurred in the administration of
the Plan. No Board or Committee member shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any option granted hereunder. 

15. COMMITTEE RULES FOR FOREIGN JURISDICTIONS AND THE NON-423 PLAN. 
  

	 	15.1	The Committee may adopt rules or procedures relating to the operation and administration of the Plan to accommodate the specific requirements of local laws and procedures. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Committee is specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures regarding handling of Contributions, payment of interest, conversion of local currency, payroll tax, withholding procedures and handling of share issuances which vary
with local legal requirements. 

  

	 	15.2	The Committee may also adopt rules, procedures or sub-plans applicable to particular Affiliates or locations, which rules, procedures or sub-plans may be designed to be outside the scope of Code Section 423. The
terms of such rules, procedures or sub-plans may take precedence over other provisions of this Plan, with the exception of Section 7.1, but unless otherwise expressly superseded by the terms of such rule, procedure or sub-plan, the provisions
of this Plan shall govern the operation of the Plan. To the extent inconsistent with the requirements of Code Section 423, such rules, procedures or sub-plans shall be considered part of the Non-423 Plan, and the options granted thereunder
shall not be considered to comply with Section 423. 

 16. SECURITIES LAWS REQUIREMENTS. 

The Corporation shall not be under any obligation to issue Common Stock upon the exercise of any option unless and until the Corporation has
determined that: (i) it and the Participant have taken all actions required to register the Common Stock under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or to perfect an exemption
from the registration requirements thereof; (ii) any applicable listing requirement of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed has been satisfied; and (iii) all other applicable provisions of state, federal and applicable
foreign law have been satisfied. 
 17. GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS. 

This Plan and the Corporation’s obligation to sell and deliver shares of its stock under the Plan shall be subject to the approval of any
governmental authority required in connection with the Plan or the authorization, issuance, sale, or delivery of stock hereunder. 

 18. NO ENLARGEMENT OF EMPLOYEE RIGHTS. 

Nothing contained in this Plan shall be deemed to give any Employee the right to be retained in the employ or service of the Corporation or any
Designated Affiliate or to interfere with the right of the Corporation or Designated Affiliate to discharge any Employee at any time. 
 19. GOVERNING
LAW. 
 This Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, U.S.A., without regard to that State’s choice of law
rules. 
 20. EFFECTIVE DATE. 
 This
Plan shall become effective upon its approval by the Shareowners of the Corporation. 
 21. REPORTS. 

Individual accounts shall be maintained for each Participant in the Plan. Statements of account shall be given to Participants at least
annually, which statements shall set forth the amounts of Contributions, the Purchase Price, the number of shares purchased and the remaining cash balance, if any. 

22. DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY FOR OWNED SHARES. 

With respect to shares of Common Stock purchased by the Participant pursuant to the Plan and held in an account maintained by the Corporation
or its assignee on the Participant’s behalf, the Participant may be permitted to file a written designation of beneficiary. The Participant may change such designation of beneficiary at any time by written notice. Subject to applicable
local legal requirements, in the event of a Participant’s death, the Corporation or its assignee shall deliver such shares of Common Stock to the designated beneficiary. 

Subject to applicable local law, in the event of the death of a Participant and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated who is
living at the time of such Participant’s death, the Corporation shall deliver such shares of Common Stock 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 Corporation), the Corporation in its sole discretion, may deliver (or cause its assignee to deliver) such shares of Common Stock to the spouse, dependent or relative of the Participant, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is
known to the Corporation, then to such other person as the Corporation may determine. 
 23. CODE SECTION 409A; QUALIFICATION OF PLAN. 

Options to purchase shares under the Code Section 423 Plan are exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code. Options
granted under the Non-423 Plan are intended to be exempt from the application of Section 409A under the short-term deferral exemption and any ambiguities shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. Options granted to U.S.
taxpayers under the Non-423 Plan are subject to such terms and conditions that will permit such options to satisfy the requirements of the short-term deferral exception available under Section 409A, including the requirement that the shares
subject to an option be delivered within the short-term deferral period. In the case of a Participant who would otherwise be subject to Section 409A, to the extent the Corporation determines that an option or the exercise, payment, settlement
or deferral thereof is subject to Section Code 409A, the option will be granted, exercised, paid, settled or deferred in a manner that will comply 

 
with Code Section 409A, including U.S. Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other
guidance that may be issued after the Effective Date. Anything in the foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation shall have no liability to a Participant or any other party if the option that is intended to be exempt from, or
compliant with Code Section 409A is not so exempt or compliant or for any action taken by the Corporation with respect thereto. 

Although the Corporation may endeavor to (i) qualify on option for favorable tax treatment under the laws of the U.S. or jurisdictions
outside of the U.S. or (ii) avoid adverse tax treatment (e.g., under Section 409A of the Code), the Corporation 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. The Corporation is not constrained in its corporate activities without regard to the potential negative tax impact on Participants under the Plan.EX-10.3

 Exhibit 10.3 

ESPP ENROLLMENT FORM 

HEWLETT PACKARD ENTERPRISE COMPANY 

2015 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN 

ENROLLMENT AND PAYROLL DEDUCTION AUTHORIZATION AGREEMENT 

(“Enrollment Agreement”) 
 To
purchase shares of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (the “Company”) common stock (the “Common Stock”) pursuant to the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company 2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), you must accept
the terms and conditions of the ESPP plan document and this Enrollment and Payroll Deduction Authorization Agreement (“Enrollment Agreement”), copies of which can be found on the ESPP website. Capitalized terms used by not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the ESPP. 
 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND WAIVER 

By enrolling and participating in the ESPP and accepting the grant of stock purchase rights, I acknowledge, understand and agree that: 

 

	(i)	the ESPP is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time; 

 

	(ii)	the grant of purchase rights under the ESPP is voluntary and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of purchase rights or benefits in lieu of purchase rights even if the ESPP is offered
over a significant period of time, and/or my participation in the ESPP automatically continues until I withdraw or become ineligible; 

  

	(iii)	all determinations with respect to the grant of future purchase rights, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; 

  

	(iv)	my participation in the ESPP is voluntary; 

  

	(v)	my participation in the ESPP shall not create a right to further employment with my employer and shall not interfere with the ability of my employer to terminate my employment relationship at any time;

  

	(vi)	the purchase right and shares of Common Stock subject to the purchase right are extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or my employer, and
are outside the scope of my employment contract, if any; 

  

	(vii)	the purchase right and shares of Common Stock subject to the purchase right are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation; 

 

	(viii)	the purchase right and shares of Common Stock subject to the purchase right are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any termination,
severance, resignation, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension, retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered compensation for, or relating in any way to, past
services for the Company, my employer or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company; 

	(ix)	unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the purchase right and the shares of Common Stock subject to the purchase right, and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with,
the service I may provide as a director of any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company; 

  

	(x)	in the event of termination of employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws and whether or not later found to be invalid), my right to purchase shares of Common Stock under the ESPP after termination of
employment, if any, will be measured by the date of termination of my active employment and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar
period pursuant to local labor law); the Board/Committee has the exclusive discretion to determine when I am no longer actively employed for purposes of participation in the ESPP; 

 

	(xi)	the future value of the shares of Common Stock purchased under the ESPP is unknown and cannot be predicted and the value of any shares of Common Stock I acquire under the ESPP may increase or decrease in value, even
below the purchase price; 

  

	(xii)	the grant of purchase rights will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with my employer or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of Company; 

 

	(xiii)	no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the purchase rights under the ESPP resulting from termination of my employment by the Company or my employer (for any reason whatsoever
and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and in consideration of the grant of the purchase rights to which I am otherwise not entitled, I irrevocably agree never to institute any claim against the Company or my employer; if, notwithstanding
the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the ESPP, I shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agree to execute any and all documents necessary to request
dismissal or withdrawal of such claims; 

  

	(xiv)	the Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding my participation in the ESPP or the purchase or sale of shares of Common Stock under the ESPP. The
Company has advised me to consult my attorney or accountant with respect to tax consequences for me upon participation in the ESPP, including purchase and disposition of shares of Common Stock purchased under the ESPP; 

 

	(xv)	neither the Company, my employer, nor any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company will be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between my local currency and the U.S. dollar that may affect the value of any
shares of Common Stock I acquire under the ESPP; and 

  

	(xvi)	the laws of the state of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law provision, and the United States of America govern the ESPP. 

TAX WITHHOLDING 
 Regardless of any action the Company
and/or my employer takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to my participation in the ESPP and legally applicable to me (“Tax-Related Items”), I
hereby acknowledge and agree that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is, and remains, my responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company, my employer and/or any trustee. I further acknowledge that the Company
and/or my employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of my participation in the ESPP, including the grant or

 
exercise of the purchase rights, the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock acquired under the ESPP and the receipt of any dividends; and (b) do not commit to and are under no obligation
to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the purchase rights to reduce or eliminate my liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if I have become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between
the Entry Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, I acknowledge that the Company, my employer (or former employer, as applicable) and/or any trustee may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related
Items in more than one jurisdiction. 
 Prior to the relevant taxable event, I shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or my
employer, as applicable, to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, I authorize the Company and/or my employer, or their respective agents, which are qualified to deduct tax at source, to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items by one or a
combination of the following: (i) withholding from my wages or other cash compensation paid to me by the Company and/or my employer; (ii) withholding from the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock purchased under the ESPP either
through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on my behalf pursuant to this authorization); (iii) withholding in shares of Common Stock to be issued upon purchase; and/or (iv) requiring that I pay the
Tax-Related Items to the Company or my employer in the form of cash, check or wire transfer. 
 To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company may
withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Common Stock, for tax
purposes, I am deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the purchase rights, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due
as a result of any aspect of my participation in the ESPP. Any estimated withholding which is not required in satisfaction of any Tax-Related Items will be repaid to me by the Company or my employer as soon as practicable and without interest. 

Finally, I shall pay to the Company or my employer any amount of any Tax-Related Items that the Company or my employer may be required to withhold or account
for as a result of my participation in the ESPP or my purchase of shares of Common Stock that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to allow me to purchase shares of Common Stock and/or refuse to deliver
shares of Common Stock or proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock if I fail to comply with my obligations in connection with the payment of Tax-Related Items. 

By participating in the ESPP, I consent and agree that in the event the ESPP benefits become subject to an employer or Company tax that is legally permitted
to be recovered from me, as may be determined by the Company and/or my employer at their sole discretion, and whether or not my employment with the Company and/or my employer is continuing at the time such tax becomes recoverable, I will assume any
liability for any such taxes that may be payable by the Company and/or my employer in connection with the ESPP benefits. Further, by participating in the ESPP, I agree that the Company and/or my employer may collect any such taxes from me by any of
the means set forth in this Enrollment Agreement. I further agree to execute any other consents or elections required to accomplish the above, promptly upon request of the Company. 

DATA PRIVACY CONSENT 
 I explicitly and
unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of my personal data as described in this Enrollment Agreement and any other materials by and among, as applicable, the Company, its Subsidiaries, its Affiliates
and my employer for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing my participation in the ESPP. 

 I understand that the Company, its Affiliates, its Subsidiaries and my employer hold certain personal
information about me, including, but not limited to, name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the
Company, details of all options or any other entitlement to shares of Common Stock awarded, canceled, purchased, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in my favor (“Data”), for the exclusive purpose of implementing, managing and
administering the ESPP. I understand that the Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the ESPP, that these recipients may be located in my country or elsewhere and that the
recipient country may have different data privacy laws and protections than my country. The Company is committed to protecting the privacy of Data in such cases. I understand that by contract both with the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries or
Affiliates and with the Company’s vendors, the people and companies that have access to my Data are bound to handle such Data in a manner consistent with the Company’s Privacy Policy and law. The Company periodically performs due diligence
and audits on its vendors in accordance with good commercial practices to ensure their capabilities and compliance with those commitments. 
 I
understand that I may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting my local human resources representative. I further understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement,
administer and manage my participation in the ESPP. 
 ENGLISH LANGUAGE DOCUMENTS 

While the Company may provide local language translations of this Enrollment Agreement and other ESPP materials, I understand and agree that in the event of
any discrepancy between the meaning of the translations and the English language versions, the English language versions and the ESPP document govern. 

ELECTRONIC ENROLLMENT AND FUTURE ACTIVITY 
 Employees are
required to enroll electronically using the Web, the Interactive Voice Response System (“IVR”) or a Customer Service Representative (“CSR”). In some countries, local laws require the Company to obtain a signed Enrollment

I agree that my electronic enrollment, as summarized in the written confirmation I receive from the ESPP administrator, will govern my contributions to the

 I also agree that the
Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the purchase rights and my participation in the ESPP by electronic means. I hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agree to participate in
the ESPP through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company. 

 HOLDING PERIOD 

I agree that as a condition of participating in the ESPP I cannot request a transfer of my shares of Common Stock until the applicable holding period has
lapsed. I understand that the holding period will be two years from the Entry Date for each Offering Period. I further understand that I am responsible for tracking the holding period and determining the U.S. tax consequences, if applicable, of
selling the shares of Common Stock prior to the lapse of the applicable holding period.

any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
