(As Amended and Restated Effective February 25, 2021)

 

Non-employee members of the board of directors (the “Board”) of ChemoCentryx, Inc. (the “Company”) shall be eligible to receive cash and equity compensation as set forth in this Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy (this “Policy”).  The cash and equity compensation described in this Policy shall be paid or be made, as applicable, automatically and without further action of the Board, to each member of the Board who is not an employee of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company (each, a “Non-Employee Director”) who may be eligible to receive such cash or equity compensation, unless such Non-Employee Director declines the receipt of such cash or equity compensation by written notice to the Company. This Policy shall remain in effect until it is revised or rescinded by further action of the Board.  The terms and conditions of this Policy shall supersede any prior cash or equity compensation arrangements between the Company and its Non-Employee Directors.

1.Cash Compensation. 

(a)Annual Retainers.  Each Non-Employee Director shall be eligible to receive an annual retainer of $50,000 for service on the Board.  In addition, a Non-Employee Director shall receive the following additional annual retainers, as applicable:

(i)Lead Independent Director.  A Non-Employee Director serving as Lead Independent Director shall receive an additional annual retainer of $25,000 for such service.

(ii)Chairperson of the Audit Committee.  A Non-Employee Director serving as Chairperson of the Audit Committee shall receive an additional annual retainer of $20,000 for such service.

(iii) Member of the Audit Committee.  A Non-Employee Director serving as a member of the Audit Committee (other than the Chairperson) shall receive an additional annual retainer of $10,000 for such service.

(iv)Chairperson of the Compensation Committee.  A Non-Employee Director serving as Chairperson of the Compensation Committee shall receive an additional annual retainer of $17,500 for such service.

(v) Member of the Compensation Committee.  A Non-Employee Director serving as a member of the Compensation Committee (other than the Chairperson) shall receive an additional annual retainer of $10,000 for such service.

(vi) Chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.  A Non-Employee Director serving as Chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall receive an additional annual retainer of $10,000 for such service.

(vii) Member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.  A Non-Employee Director serving as a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (other than the Chairperson) shall receive an additional annual retainer of $6,000 for such service.

 

 

(b)Payment of Retainers. The annual retainers described in Section 1(a) shall be earned on a quarterly basis based on a calendar quarter and shall be paid by the Company in arrears not later than the fifth business day following the end of each calendar quarter. In the event a Non-Employee Director does not serve as a Non-Employee Director, or in the applicable positions described in Section 1(a), for an entire calendar quarter, the retainer paid to such Non-Employee Director shall be prorated for the portion of such calendar quarter actually served as a Non-Employee Director, or in such positions, as applicable. Non-Employee Directors may elect to receive vested shares of common stock in lieu of the foregoing retainers on the date on which such retainers would otherwise have been paid in cash in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Company’s 2012 Equity Incentive Award Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Equity Plan”). 

2.Equity Compensation. Non-Employee Directors shall be granted the equity awards described below. The awards described below shall be granted under and shall be subject to the terms and provisions of the Equity Plan and shall be granted subject to the execution and delivery of award agreements, including attached exhibits, in substantially the same forms previously approved by the Board, setting forth the vesting schedule applicable to such awards and such other terms as may be required by the Equity Plan. 

	

	
(a)Initial Awards. A person who is initially elected or appointed to the Board and who is a Non-Employee Director at the time of such initial election or appointment, shall be automatically granted (i) such number of restricted stock units (or, if so elected by a Non-Employee Director prior to the date of such initial election or appointment, shares of restricted common stock) on the date of such initial election or appointment as is determined by dividing (A) $225,000 by (B) the 60-day trailing average trading price of the Company’s common stock preceding the date of grant and (ii) an option to purchase such number of shares of the Company’s common stock having a value of $125,000, calculated as of the date of grant in accordance with the Black-Scholes option pricing model (utilizing the same assumptions that the Company utilizes in preparation of its financial statements and the 60-day trailing average trading price of the Company’s common stock preceding the date of grant) (which options will have a term of ten years from the date of grant and an exercise price per share equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Equity Plan) on the date of grant). The awards described in this Section 2(a) shall be referred to as “Initial Awards.” No Non-Employee Director shall be granted more than one Initial Award.

	

	
(b)Subsequent Awards. A person who is a Non-Employee Director immediately following each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders and who will continue to serve as a Non-Employee Director immediately following such annual meeting shall be automatically granted (i) such number of restricted stock units (or, if so elected by a Non-Employee Director prior to the date of such annual meeting, shares of restricted common stock) on the date of such annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders as is determined by dividing (A) $225,000 by (B) the 60-day trailing average trading price of the Company’s common stock preceding the date of grant, and (ii) an option to purchase such number of shares of the Company’s common stock having a value of $125,000, calculated as of the date of grant in accordance with the Black-Scholes option pricing model (utilizing the same assumptions that the Company utilizes in preparation of its financial statements and the 60-day trailing average trading price of the Company’s common stock preceding the date of grant) (which options will have a term of ten years from the date of grant and an exercise price per share equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Equity Plan) on the date of grant). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of shares subject to each such award granted to an Non-Employee Director who commenced service during the 12 months preceding the applicable annual meeting will be prorated by multiplying the number of shares determined in accordance with each of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed between the date of such Non-Employee Director’s initial election or appointment to the Board and the date of the annual meeting and the denominator of which is 365.  The awards described in this Section 2(b) shall be referred to as “Subsequent Awards.”  For the avoidance of doubt, a Non-Employee Director 

 

 

		
elected for the first time to the Board at an annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders shall only receive an Initial Award in connection with such election, and shall not receive any Subsequent Awards on the date of such meeting as well. 

 

(c)Termination of Employment of Employee Directors. Members of the Board who are employees of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company who subsequently terminate their employment with the Company and any parent or subsidiary of the Company and remain on the Board will not receive an Initial Award pursuant to Section 2(a) above, but to the extent that they are otherwise eligible, will be eligible to receive, after termination from employment with the Company and any parent or subsidiary of the Company, Subsequent Awards as described in Section 2(b) above. 

(d)Vesting of Awards Granted to Non-Employee Directors.  Each Initial Award shall vest and become exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the Non-Employee Director continuing in service on the Board through each such vesting date. Each Subsequent Award shall vest and/or become exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the Non-Employee Director continuing in service on the Board through such vesting date. All of a Non-Employee Director’s Initial Awards and Subsequent Awards shall vest in full upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the Equity Plan).EX-10.1

Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement, together with the agreements and other documents and instruments referred to herein, embodies the complete agreement and understanding among the Parties hereto
with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the Parties, written or oral, that they may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way. The Existing
Stockholders Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as set forth herein and superseded in its entirety by this Agreement.

 Section 4.4 Successors and Assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights
or obligations of any Party under this Agreement may be assigned, in whole or in part, by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, and any such transfer or attempted transfer shall be null and void. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. 

Section 4.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of
which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement. Counterparts may be delivered via electronic mail (including .pdf or electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) or
other transmission method, and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes. 

Section 4.6 Remedies. 

(a) Each Party hereto acknowledges that monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy in the event that each and every one of the covenants or
agreements in this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their terms, and it is therefore agreed that, in addition to, and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, the non-breaching
party will have the right to seek an injunction, temporary restraining order, or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach and enforcing specifically each and every one of the terms and provisions
hereof. Each Party hereto agrees not to oppose the granting of such relief in the event a court determines that such a breach has occurred, and to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. 

(b) All rights, powers and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at Law or in equity shall be
cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise of any thereof by any Party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power or remedy by such Party. 

Section 4.7 Notices. All notices, requests and other communications given or made under this Agreement must be in writing and will
be deemed given if personally delivered, delivered by electronic transmission or mailed by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) to the Persons and addresses set forth below or such other place as such Party may specify by like
