1.2    Purpose of the Plan. The Plan is intended to increase stockholder value and the success of the Company by motivating key executives (1) to perform to the best of their abilities, and (2) to achieve the Company’s objectives. The Plan’s goals are to be achieved by providing such executives with incentive awards based on the achievement of goals relating to the performance of the Company. The Plan is intended to permit the payment of bonuses that qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, and any ambiguities or any ambiguous terms will be interpreted to socomply.

SECTION 2. DEFINITIONS

The following words and phrases will have the following meanings unless a different meaning is plainly required by the context:

2.1    “Actual Award” means as to any Performance Period, the actual award (if any) payable to a Participant for the Performance Period. Each Actual Award is determined by the Payout Formula for the Performance Period, subject to the Committee’s authority under Section 3.6 (Determination of Actual Awards) to eliminate or reduce the award otherwise determined by the Payout Formula. For purposes of applying the Maximum Award limitation, the Actual Award will be deemed to have been determined on the last day of the applicable Performance Period, so that if there are multiple Performance Periods ending in a particular Fiscal Year, in no event may the Actual Awards with respect to all such Performance Periods in the aggregate exceed the Maximum Award.

2.2    “Affiliate” means any corporation or other entity (including, but not limited to, partnerships and joint ventures) controlled by the Company.

2.3    “Base Salary” means as to any Performance Period, unless the Committee provides otherwise when establishing the Target Award, the Participant’s annualized salary rate on the Determination Date. Such Base Salary will be before both (a) deductions for taxes or benefits, and (b) deferrals of compensation pursuant to Company-sponsored plans and Affiliate-sponsored plans (as applicable). For avoidance of doubt, Base Salary does not include performance-based cash incentives, commissions, equity compensation, incentive or other compensation.

2.4    “Board” means the Board of Directors of theCompany.

2.5
Change in Control” means:

(a)A change in the ownership of the Company which occurs on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (“Person”), acquires ownership of the stock of the Company that, with the stock held by such Person, constitutes more than 50% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company; provided, that for this subsection, the acquisition of additional stock by any one Person, who prior to such acquisition is considered to own more than 50% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company will not be considered a Change in Control. Further, if the stockholders of the Company immediately before such change in ownership continue to retain immediately after the change in ownership, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of shares of the Company’s voting stock immediately prior to the change in ownership, direct or indirect beneficial ownership of 50% or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Company, such event will not be considered a Change in Control under this Section 2.5(a). For this purpose, indirect beneficial ownership will include, without limitation, an interest resulting from ownership of the voting securities of one or more corporations or other business

(b)A change in the effective control of the Company which occurs on the date a majority of members of the Board is replaced during any 12-month period by Directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board prior to the appointment or election. For this Section 2.5(b), if any Person is in effective control of the Company, the acquisition of additional control of the Company by the same Person will not be considered a Change in Control;or

(c)A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets which occurs on the date that any Person acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such Person or Persons) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 50% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions; provided, that for this Section 2.5(c), the following will not constitute a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets:

(1)    a transfer to an entity controlled by the Company’s stockholders immediately after the transfer, or

(2)    a transfer of assets by the Company to:

i.
a stockholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to the Company’s stock,

ii.
an entity, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company,

iii.
a Person, that owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of the Company, or

iv.
an entity, at least 50% of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, bya Person described in subsections 2.5(c)(2)i to 2.5(c)(2)iii.

For this definition, persons will be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the Company.

The Committee will have all powers and discretion necessary or appropriate to administer the Plan and to control its operation, including, but not limited to, the power to (a) determine which Employees will be granted awards, (b) prescribe the terms and conditions of awards, (c) interpret the Plan and the awards,
(d) adopt such procedures and subplans as are necessary or appropriate to permit participation in the Plan by Employees who are foreign nationals or employed outside of the United States, (e) adopt rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith, and (f) interpret, amend or revoke any such rules.

SECTION 6. GENERAL PROVISIONS

6.1    Tax Withholding. The Company or an Affiliate, as determined by the Committee, will withhold all applicable taxes from any Actual Award, including any federal, state, local and other taxes (including without limitation any FICA and SDIobligations).

6.2    No Effect on Employment. Nothing in the Plan will interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or an Affiliate, as applicable, to terminate any Participant’s employment or service at any time, with or without cause. For purposes of the Plan, transfer of employment of a Participant between the Company and any one of its Affiliates (or between Affiliates) will not be deemed a Termination of Employment. Employment with the Company and its Affiliates is on an at-will basis only. The Company expressly reserves the right, which may be exercised at any time and without regard to when during or after a Performance Period such exercise occurs, to terminate any individual’s employment with or without cause, and to treat him or her without regard to the effect which such treatment might have upon him or her as a Participant.

6.3    Participation. No Employee will have the right to be selected to receive an award under this Plan, or, having been so selected, to be selected to receive a future award.

6.4    Indemnification. Each person who is or will have been a member of the Committee, or of the Board, will be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from (a) any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan or any award, and (b) from any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such claim,

ForeScout_2017 Umbrella Bonus Plan
ForeScout Confidential
Page 9 of 10


action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she will give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification will not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, by contract, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or under any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

6.5    Successors. All obligations of the Company and any Affiliate under the Plan, with respect to awards granted hereunder, will be binding on any successor to the Company and/or such Affiliate, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company or such Affiliate.

6.6    Beneficiary Designations. If permitted by the Committee, a Participant under the Plan may name a beneficiary or beneficiaries to whom any vested but unpaid award will be paid in the event of the Participant's death. Each such designation will revoke all prior designations by the Participant and will be effective only if given in a form and manner acceptable to the Committee. In the absence of any such designation, any vested benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant's death will be paid to the Participant's estate.

6.7    Non-transferability of Awards. No award granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will, by the laws of descent and distribution, or to the limited extent provided in Section 6.6 (Beneficiary Designations). All rights with respect to an award granted to a Participant will be available during his or her lifetime only to the Participant.

6.8    Code Section 409A. It is intended that all bonuses payable under this Plan will be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A pursuant to the “short-term deferral” exemption or, in the alternative, will comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A so that none of the payments and benefits to be provided under this Plan will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Code Section 409A, and any ambiguities or ambiguous terms herein will be interpreted to so comply or be exempt. Each payment and benefit payable under this Plan is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. The Company may, in good faith and without the consent of any Participant, make any amendments to this Plan and take such reasonable actions which it deems necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition under Code Section 409A prior to actual payment to the Participant. In no event will the Company reimburse any Participant with respect to any taxes imposed or other costs incurred as a result of Code Section409A.

SECTION 7. AMENDMENT, TERMINATION AND DURATION

7.1    Amendment, Suspension or Termination. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may amend or terminate the Plan, or any part thereof, at any time and for any reason. The amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan will not, without the consent of the Participant, alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Target Award theretofore granted to such Participant. No award may be granted during any period of suspension or after termination of the Plan.

7.2    Duration of the Plan. The Plan will commence on the date specified herein, and subject to Section 7.1 (Amendment, Suspension or Termination) (regarding the Board or the Committee’s right to amend or terminate the Plan), will remain in effect thereafter through the Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

SECTION 8. LEGAL CONSTRUCTION

8.1    Severability. In the event any provision of the Plan will be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity will not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan will be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not beenincluded.
