FORESCOUT TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
2000 STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN
SECTION 1. ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE.
The purpose of the Plan is to offer selected persons an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the success of the Company, or to increase such interest, by purchasing or granting Shares of the Company’s Stock. The Plan provides both for the direct award or sale of Shares or Restricted Stock Units and for the grant of Options to purchase Shares. Options granted under the Plan may be Nonqualified Options (including the Options described in Section 12) or ISOs intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Code.
Capitalized terms are defined in Section 13.
SECTION 2. ADMINISTRATION.
(a)    Committees of the Board of Directors. The Plan may be administered by one or more Committees. Each Committee shall consist of one or more members of the Board of Directors or other individuals satisfying applicable laws who have been appointed by the Board of Directors. Each Committee shall have such authority and be responsible for such functions as the Board of Directors has assigned to it. The Board of Directors may retain the authority to concurrently administer the Plan with a Committee and may revoke the delegation of some or all authority previously delegated. If no Committee has been appointed, the entire Board of Directors shall administer the Plan. Any reference to the Board of Directors in the Plan shall be construed as a reference to the Committee (if any) to whom the Board of Directors has assigned a particular function.
(b)    Authority of the Board of Directors. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board of Directors shall have full authority and discretion to take any actions it deems necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. All decisions, interpretations and other actions of the Board of Directors shall be final and binding on all Purchasers, Grantees, Optionees and all persons deriving their rights from a Purchaser, Grantee or Optionee. For the avoidance of doubt, the Board of Directors may permit the transmission of any awards, award agreements, communications or other applicable Plan documents (including signatures or acceptances) to participants under the Plan by electronic mail, electronic delivery or any other physical or digital format permitted by applicable law, and the Company may issue or record issuance of any Shares, transfers or awards in its records by issuance of Shares (including an electronic “book entry” records) or any other way permitted by applicable law. Further, the Board of Directors will have the authority, in its sole discretion, to institute and determine the terms and conditions of an Exchange Program.
SECTION 3. ELIGIBILITY.
(a)    General Rule. Only Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants shall be eligible for the grant of Nonqualfied Options. Restricted Stock Units or the direct award or sale of Shares. Only Employees shall be eligible for the grant of ISOs.
(b)    Ten-Percent Stockholders. A person who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of outstanding stock of the Company, its Parent or any of its Subsidiaries shall not be eligible for designation as an Optionee or Purchaser unless (i) the Exercise Price is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, (ii) the Purchase Price (if any) is at least 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share and (iii) in the case of an ISO, such ISO by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date of grant. For purposes of this Subsection (b), in determining stock ownership, the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code shall be applied.

SECTION 4. STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN.
(a)    Basic Limitation. Not more than 37,447,726 Shares may be issued under the Plan (subject to Subsection (b) below and Section 8). The number of Shares that are subject to Options or other rights outstanding at any time under the Plan shall not exceed the number of Shares that then remain available for issuance under the Plan. The Company, during the term of the Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available sufficient Shares to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. Shares offered under the Plan may be authorized but unissued Shares or treasury Shares.
(b)    Additional Shares. In the event that any outstanding Option or other right for any reason expires or is canceled or otherwise terminated, the Shares allocable to the unexercised portion of such Option or other right shall again be available for the purposes of the Plan. In the event that Shares issued under the Plan are reacquired by the Company pursuant to any forfeiture provision, right of repurchase or right of first refusal, such Shares shall again be available for the purposes of the Plan, except that the aggregate number of Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of ISOs shall in no event exceed 37,447,726 Shares (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 8).
SECTION 5. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AWARDS OR SALES.
(a)    Stock Purchase Agreement. Each award or sale of Shares under the Plan (other than upon exercise of an Option) shall be evidenced by a Stock Purchase Agreement between the Purchaser and the Company. Such award or sale shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms and conditions which are not inconsistent with the Plan and which the Board of Directors deems appropriate for inclusion in a Stock Purchase Agreement. The provisions of the various Stock Purchase Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.
(b)    Restricted Stock Unit Agreement. Each award or grant of Restricted Stock Units under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Unit Agreement between the Grantee and the Company. Such award or grant shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms and conditions which are not inconsistent with the Plan and which the Board of Directors deems appropriate for inclusion in a Restricted Stock Unit Agreement. The provisions of the various Restricted Stock Unit Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. The Board of Directors shall determine the restrictions and conditions applicable to each Restricted Stock Unit at the time of grant. Vesting conditions may be based on continuing Service, achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives and/or other such criteria as the Board of Directors may determine. Unless otherwise provided in the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (which agreement may provide for deferred settlement of Restricted Stock Units), on or promptly following the vesting date or dates applicable to any Restricted Stock Unit, but in no event later than March 15 of the year following the year in which such vesting occurs, such Restricted Stock Unit(s) shall be settled in the form of cash or shares of Stock, as specified in the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement. Restricted Stock Units may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of.
(c)    Duration of Offers and Nontransferability of Rights. Any right to acquire Shares under the Plan (other than an Option or Restricted Stock Unit) shall automatically expire if not exercised by the Purchaser within 30 days after the grant of such right was communicated to the Purchaser by the Company. Such right shall not be transferable and shall be exercisable only by the Purchaser to whom such right was granted.
(d)    Purchase Price. The Board of Directors shall determine the Purchase Price at its sole discretion. The Purchase Price shall be payable in a form described in Section 7.

ForeScout_AR 2000 Equity Plan

Page 2 of 14


(e)    Withholding Taxes. As a condition to the purchase or grant of Shares or the vesting or settlement of Restricted Stock Units or Shares, the Purchaser or Grantee shall make such arrangements as the Board of Directors may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with such purchase, vesting or settlement.
(f)    Restrictions on Transfer of Shares and Minimum Vesting. Once the Shares are purchased or otherwise issued, or the Restricted Stock Unit is settled the Purchaser or Grantee shall have rights equivalent to those of a stockholder and shall be a stockholder when his or her purchase is entered upon the records of the duly authorized transfer agent of the Company. No adjustment shall be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are purchased or otherwise issued, or the Restricted Stock Unit is settled, except as provided in Section 8 of the Plan. Any Shares awarded or sold under the Plan shall be subject to such special forfeiture conditions, rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as the Board of Directors may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable Stock Purchase Agreement and shall apply in addition to any restrictions that may apply to holders of Shares generally. Except as otherwise provided in the Stock Purchase Agreement or the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, in the case of any Purchaser or Grantee:
(i)    Any such right of repurchase Purchaser’s or Grantee’s Shares at the original Purchase Price may be exercised by the Company or its assigns for cash or for cancellation of indebtedness; and
(ii)    Any such right of repurchase may be exercised only within six months after the termination of the Purchaser’s or Grantee’s Service.
SECTION 6. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.
(a)    Stock Option Agreement. Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement between the Optionee and the Company. The Option shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms and conditions which are not inconsistent with the Plan and which the Board of Directors deems appropriate for inclusion in a Stock Option Agreement. The provisions of the various Stock Option Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.
(b)    Number of Shares. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the number of Shares that are subject to the Option and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 8. The Stock Option Agreement shall also specify whether the Option is an ISO, a Nonqualfied Option, or a Nonqualfied Option described in Section 12.
(c)    Exercise Price    . Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of a Stock Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, and a higher percentage may be required by Section 3(b). Subject to the preceding sentence, the Exercise Price under any Option shall be determined by the Board of Directors at its sole discretion. The Exercise Price shall be payable in a form described in Section 7.
(d)    Exercisability. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the date when all or any installment of the Option is to become exercisable. No Option shall be exercisable unless the Optionee has delivered an executed copy of the Stock Option Agreement to the Company. The Board of Directors shall determine the exercisability provisions of the Stock Option Agreement at its sole discretion.

Page 3 of 14


(e)    Basic Term. The Stock Option Agreement shall specify the term of the Option. The term shall not exceed 10 years from the date of grant, and a shorter term may be required by Section 3(b). Subject to the preceding sentence, the Board of Directors at its sole discretion shall determine when an Option is to expire.
(f)    Termination of Service (Except by Death). If an Optionee’s Service terminates for any reason other than the Optionee’s death, then the Optionee’s Options shall expire on the earliest of the following occasions:
(i)    The expiration date determined pursuant to Subsection (e) above;
(ii)    The date three months after the termination of the Optionee’s Service for any reason other than Cause or Disability, or such later date as the Board of Directors may determine;
(iii)    The date of the termination of the Optionee’s Service for Cause, or such later date as the Board of Directors may determine; or
(iv)    The date 12 months after the termination of the Optionee’s Service by reason of Disability, or such other date as the Board of Directors may determine (but not less than six months after the termination of the Optionee’s Service by reason of Disability).
The Optionee may exercise all or part of the Optionee’s Options at any time before the expiration of such Options under the preceding sentence, but only to the extent that such Options had become exercisable before the Optionee’s Service terminated (or became exercisable as a result of the termination) and the underlying Shares had vested before the Optionee’s Service terminated (or vested as a result of the termination). The balance of such Options shall lapse when the Optionee’s Service terminates. In the event that the Optionee dies after the termination of the Optionee’s Service but before the expiration of the Optionee’s Options, all or part of such Options may be exercised (prior to expiration) by the executors or administrators of the Optionee’s estate or by any person who has acquired such Options directly from the Optionee by beneficiary designation, bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that such Options had become exercisable before the Optionee’s Service terminated (or became exercisable as a result of the termination) and the underlying Shares had vested before the Optionee’s Service terminated (or vested as a result of the termination).
(g)    Leaves of Absence. For purposes of Subsection (f) above, Service shall be deemed to continue while the Optionee is on a bona fide leave of absence, if such leave was approved by the Company in writing and if continued crediting of Service for this purpose is expressly required by the terms of such leave or by applicable law (as determined by the Company).
(h)    Death of Optionee. If an Optionee dies while the Optionee is in Service, then the Optionee’s Options shall expire on the earlier of the following dates:
(i)    The expiration date determined pursuant to Subsection (e) above; or
(ii)    The date 12 months after the Optionee’s death, or such later date as the Board of Directors may determine.
All or part of the Optionee’s Options may be exercised at any time before the expiration of such Options under the preceding sentence by the executors or administrators of the Optionee’s estate or by any person who has acquired such Options directly from the Optionee by beneficiary designation, bequest or inheritance, but only

ForeScout_AR 2000 Equity Plan

Page 4 of 14


to the extent that such Options had become exercisable before the Optionee’s death (or became exercisable as a result of the death) and the underlying Shares had vested before the Optionee’s death (or vested as a result of the Optionee’s death). The balance of such Options shall lapse when the Optionee dies.
(i)    Restrictions on Transfer of Shares and Minimum Vesting. Any Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be subject to such special forfeiture conditions, rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as the Board of Directors may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable Stock Option Agreement and shall apply in addition to any restrictions that may apply to holders of Shares generally. Except as otherwise provided in the Stock Option Agreement, in the case of any Optionee:
(i)    Any right to repurchase the Optionee’s Shares at the original Exercise Price upon termination of the Optionee’s Service may be exercised only for cash or for cancellation of indebtedness; and
(ii)    Any such right to repurchase may be exercised only within six months after the later of (A) the termination of the Optionee’s Service or (B) the date of the option exercise.
(j)    Transferability of Options. An Option shall be transferable by the Optionee only by (i) a beneficiary designation, (ii) a will or (iii) the laws of descent and distribution, except as provided in the next sentence. If the applicable Stock Option Agreement so provides, an NSO shall also be transferable by the Optionee by (i) a gift to a member of the Optionee’s Immediate Family or (ii) a gift to an inter vivos or testamentary trust in which members of the Optionee’s Immediate Family have a beneficial interest of more than 50% and which provides that such NSO is to be transferred to the beneficiaries upon the Optionee’s death. An ISO may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee or by the Optionee’s guardian or legal representative.
(k)    Withholding Taxes. As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Optionee shall make such arrangements as the Board of Directors may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with such exercise. The Optionee shall also make such arrangements as the Board of Directors may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the disposition of Shares acquired by exercising an Option.
(l)    No Rights as a Stockholder. An Optionee, or a transferee of an Optionee, shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by the Optionee’s Option until such person becomes entitled to receive such Shares by filing a notice of exercise and paying the Exercise Price pursuant to the terms of such Option.
(m)    Modification, Extension and Assumption of Options. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Board of Directors may modify, extend or assume outstanding Options or may accept the cancellation of outstanding Options (whether granted by the Company or another issuer) in return for the grant of new Options for the same or a different number of Shares and at the same or a different Exercise Price, including without limitation pursuant to an Exchange Program. The foregoing notwithstanding, such modifications must be in accordance with applicable law and no modification of an Option shall, without the consent of the Optionee, impair the Optionee’s rights or increase the Optionee’s obligations under such Option.
SECTION 7. PAYMENT FOR SHARES.

ForeScout_AR 2000 Equity Plan
ForeScout Confidential
Page 5 of 14


(a)    General Rule. The entire Purchase Price or Exercise Price of Shares issued under the Plan shall be payable in cash or cash equivalents at the time when such Shares are purchased, except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.
(b)    Surrender of Stock. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so provides, all or any part of the Exercise Price may be paid by surrendering, or attesting to the ownership of, Shares that are already owned by the Optionee. Such Shares shall be surrendered to the Company in good form for transfer and shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when the Option is exercised. The Optionee shall not surrender, or attest to the ownership of, Shares in payment of the Exercise Price if such action would cause the Company to recognize compensation expense (or additional compensation expense) with respect to the Option for financial reporting purposes.
(c)    Services Rendered. At the discretion of the Board of Directors, Shares may be awarded under the Plan in consideration of services rendered to the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary prior to the award.
(d)    Promissory Note. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement or Stock Purchase Agreement so provides, all or a portion of the Exercise Price or Purchase Price (as the case may be) of Shares issued under the Plan may be paid with a full-recourse promissory note. However, the par value of the Shares, if newly issued, shall be paid in cash or cash equivalents. The Shares shall be pledged as security for payment of the principal amount of the promissory note and interest thereon. The interest rate payable under the terms of the promissory note shall not be less than the minimum rate (if any) required to avoid the imputation of additional interest under the Code. Subject to the foregoing, the Board of Directors (at its sole discretion) shall specify the term, interest rate, amortization requirements (if any) and other provisions of such note.
(e)    Exercise/Sale. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so provides, and if Stock is publicly traded, payment may be made all or in part by the delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker approved by the Company to sell Shares and to deliver all or part of the sales proceeds to the Company in payment of all or part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes.
(f)    Exercise/Pledge. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so provides, and if Stock is publicly traded, payment may be made all or in part by the delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to pledge Shares to a securities broker or lender approved by the Company, as security for a loan, and to deliver all or part of the loan proceeds to the Company in payment of all or part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes.
SECTION 8. ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES.
(a)    General. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock, a declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, a declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than Shares in an amount that has a material effect on the Fair Market Value of the Stock, a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Stock into a lesser number of Shares, a recapitalization, a spin-off, a reclassification or a similar occurrence, the Board of Directors shall make appropriate adjustments in one or more of (i) the number of Shares available for future grants under Section 4, (ii) the number of Shares covered by each outstanding Option or (iii) the Exercise Price under each outstanding Option.
(b)    Mergers and Consolidations. In the event that the Company is a party to a merger or consolidation, outstanding Options shall be subject to the agreement of merger or consolidation. Such agreement may provide for:

ForeScout_AR 2000 Equity Plan
ForeScout Confidential
Page 6 of 14


(i)    The continuation of such outstanding Options by the Company (if the Company is the surviving corporation);
(ii)    The assumption of the Plan and such outstanding Options by the surviving corporation or its parent;
(iii)    The substitution by the surviving corporation or its parent of options with substantially the same terms for such outstanding Options;
(iv)    The full exercisability of such outstanding Options and full vesting of the Shares subject to such Options, followed by the cancellation of such Options;
(v)    The settlement of the full value of such outstanding Options (whether or not then exercisable) in cash or cash equivalents, followed by the cancellation of such Options; or
(vi)    Any other action permitted by applicable law.
(c)    Reservation of Rights. Except as provided in this Section 8, an Optionee, Grantee or Purchaser shall have no rights by reason of (i) any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, (ii) the payment of any dividend or (iii) any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class. Any issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or Exercise Price of Shares subject to an Option. The grant of an Option pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure, to merge or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
SECTION 9. SECURITIES LAW REQUIREMENTS.
(a)    General. Shares shall not be issued under the Plan unless the issuance and delivery of such Shares comply with (or are exempt from) all applicable requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities laws and regulations, and the regulations of any stock exchange or other securities market on which the Company’s securities may then be traded.
(b)    Financial Reports. To the extent required by applicable law, the Company each year shall furnish to Optionees, Grantees, Purchasers and stockholders who have received Stock under the Plan its balance sheet and income statement, unless such Optionees, Grantees, Purchasers or stockholders are key Employees whose duties with the Company assure them access to equivalent information. Such balance sheet and income statement need not be audited.
SECTION 10. NO RETENTION RIGHTS.
Nothing in the Plan or in any right or Option granted under the Plan shall confer upon the Purchaser, Grantee or Optionee any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining the Purchaser, Grantee or Optionee) or of the Purchaser, Grantee or Optionee, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate his or her Service at any time and for any reason, with or without cause.

SECTION 11. DURATION AND AMENDMENTS.
(a)    Term of the Plan. The Plan, as set forth herein, shall become effective on the date of its adoption by the Board of Directors, subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders. If the stockholders fail to approve the Plan within 12 months after its adoption by the Board of Directors, then any grants, exercises or sales that have already occurred under the Plan shall be rescinded and no additional grants, exercises or sales shall thereafter be made under the Plan. The Plan shall terminate automatically 10 years after the later of (i) its adoption by the Board of Directors or (ii) the most recent increase in the number of Shares reserved under Section 4 that was approved by the Company’s stockholders. The Plan may be terminated on any earlier date pursuant to Subsection (b) below.
(b)    Right to Amend or Terminate the Plan. The Board of Directors may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time and for any reason; provided, however, that any amendment of the Plan shall be subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders if it (i) increases the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan (except as provided in Section 8) or (ii) materially changes the class of persons who are eligible for the grant of ISOs. Stockholder approval shall not be required for any other amendment of the Plan. If the stockholders fail to approve an increase in the number of Shares reserved under Section 4 within 12 months after its adoption by the Board of Directors, then any grants, exercises or sales that have already occurred in reliance on such increase shall be rescinded and no additional grants, exercises or sales shall thereafter be made in reliance on such increase.
(c)    Effect of Amendment or Termination. No Shares shall be issued or sold under the Plan after the termination thereof, except upon exercise of an Option granted prior to such termination. The termination of the Plan, or any amendment thereof, shall not affect any Share previously issued or any Option previously granted under the Plan.
SECTION 12. SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR ISRAELI RESIDENTS.
(a)    Scope    . This Section 12 shall apply only to Optionees who are residents of the State of Israel or are deemed to be residents of the State of Israel for purposes of the payment of tax.
(b)    Grants Under Israeli Law. Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, the Plan may also be administered pursuant to the provisions of Section 102 (“Section 102”) or Section 3(i) (“Section 3(i)”) of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance (New Version), 1961 and the rules promulgated thereunder (the “Ordinance”) and the Israeli Companies Law 5759-1999 with respect to Employees who are or are deemed to be Israeli residents. Details regarding the terms and conditions of Options granted pursuant to the provisions of Section 102 shall be delivered to the Optionees who are Israeli residents and whose grants are made pursuant to Section 102, along with the remaining terms and conditions.
(c)    Trust Under Section 102. Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, in the event that the Plan is administered pursuant to the provisions of Section 102, each Option and each Share with respect to which an Option has been exercised by an Optionee who is an Israeli resident or is deemed to be an Israeli resident shall be issued by the Company to, and held in trust for the benefit of, such Optionee by a trustee designated by the Board of Directors or the board of directors of a Subsidiary, as appropriate (the “Trustee”), pursuant to Section 102 and a trust agreement to be entered into between the Company or such Subsidiary and such Trustee.
(i)    Options granted to Employees, officers or Outside Directors on or after January 1, 2003 shall be granted pursuant to the provisions of Section 102 of the Ordinance as

Page 8 of 14


amended by the Law Amending the Income Tax Ordinance (Number 132) 2002, effective January 1, 2003 and the rules, regulations, orders or procedures which are ultimately promulgated in connection with such Law (the “New Rules”); provided, however, that Employees, officers or Outside Directors who are controlling shareholders (as defined in the Ordinance) may not be granted Options subject to Section 102. Such Options shall be granted using the provisions of Section 102(b)(2) of the Ordinance, pursuant to which income resulting from the sale of shares derived from the Options shall be taxed as a capital gain. Such Options (the “102 Capital Gains Track Options”) and the Shares resulting from their exercise shall be issued by the Company to, and held in trust for the benefit of, each Optionee by the Trustee for the period set forth in Section 102(b)(2) of the Ordinance. The Optionee and the Trustee shall comply with the provisions of Section 102(b)(2) of the Ordinance, with the New Rules, and with the terms and conditions of the trust agreement. Further, the Optionee will execute any and all documents which the Company or the Trustee may reasonably determine to be necessary in order to comply with the Ordinance and, particularly, the New Rules.
(d)    Trust Under Section 3(i). In the event that the Plan is administered pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(i), the Company may elect to enter into an agreement with a trustee concerning the administration of the exercise of Options, the purchase and sale of Shares, and the arrangements for payment of or withholding of taxes due in connection with such exercise, purchase and sale. The trust agreement may provide that the Company will issue the Shares to such trustee for the benefit of the Optionees. However, subsequent to January 1, 2003, Section 3(i) Options may not be granted to Employees, officers or Outside Directors, except as provided in the Ordinance.
(e)    Exercise. At the discretion of the Board of Directors, for purposes of simplicity and in order to ensure compliance with Israel’s tax regulations, the exercise of the Options granted under the Plan may be executed by the Company or a Subsidiary, as appropriate.
(f)    Sale of Shares. Upon sale by an Optionee of any securities held in trust, the Company shall withhold (or, if applicable, shall cause the Trustee to withhold) from the proceeds of such sale all applicable taxes, shall remit the amount withheld to the appropriate Israeli tax authorities, shall pay the balance thereof directly to such Optionee, and shall report to such Optionee the amount so withheld and paid to such tax authorities.
(g)    Applicable Law. With respect to Optionees who are Israeli residents or are deemed, for purposes of taxation, to be residents of the State of Israel, the Plan and all instruments issued thereunder or in connection therewith shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Israel.
(h)    Tax Consequences. Any tax consequences arising from the grant or exercise of an Option, from the payment for Shares covered thereby or from any other event or act under the Plan (whether of an Optionee or of the Company or a Subsidiary) shall be borne solely by the Optionee. Furthermore, the Optionee shall agree to indemnify the Company or the Subsidiary that employs the Optionee and the Trustee, if applicable, and hold them harmless against and from any and all liability for any tax or interest or penalty thereon, including (without limitation) liabilities relating to the necessity to withhold, or to have withheld, any tax from any payment made to the Optionee.

EXHIBIT A
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK OPTION GRANT
1.    GRANT.
The Company awards the Participant an Option to purchase Shares of Common Stock as described in the Notice of Grant. If there is a conflict between the Plan, this Agreement, or any other agreement with the Participant governing this Option, those documents will take precedence and prevail in the following order: (a) the Plan, (b) the Agreement, and (c) any other agreement between the Company and the Participant governing this Option.
If the Notice of Grant designates this Option as an Incentive Stock Option (“ISO”), this Option is intended to qualify as an ISO under Code Section 422. Even if this Option is designated an ISO, to the extent it first become exercisable as to more than $100,000 in any calendar year, the portion in excess of $100,000 is not an ISO under Code Section 422(d) and that portion will be a Nonstatutory Stock Option (“NSO”). In addition, if the Participant exercises the Option after 3 months have passed since he or she ceased to be an employee of the Company or a Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, it will no longer be an ISO. If there is any other reason this Option (or a portion of it) will not qualify as an ISO, to the extent of such nonqualification, the Option will be an NSO. The Participant understands that he or she will have no recourse against the Administrator, any member of the Company Group, or any officer or director of a member of the Company Group if any portion of this Option is not an ISO.
2.    VESTING.
This Option will only be exercisable (also referred to as vested) under the Vesting Schedule in the Notice of Grant, Section 3 of this Agreement, or Section 14 of the Plan. Shares scheduled to vest on a certain date or upon the occurrence of a certain condition will not vest unless the Participant continues to be a Service Provider until the time such vesting is scheduled to occur. The Administrator may modify the Vesting Schedule according to its authority under the Plan if the Participant takes a leave of absence or has a reduction in hours worked.
3.    ADMINISTRATOR DISCRETION.
The Administrator may accelerate the vesting of any portion of this Option, subject to the terms of the Plan. In that case, this Option will be vested as of the date and to the extent specified by the Administrator.
4.    FORFEITURE UPON TERMINATION OF STATUS AS A SERVICE PROVIDER.
Upon the Participant’s termination as a Service Provider for any reason, this Option will immediately stop vesting, and on the 30th day following the Termination of Status Date (or any earlier date on or following the Termination of Status Date determined by the Administrator), any portion of this Option that has not yet vested will be immediately forfeited for no consideration, subject to Applicable Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Administrator determines otherwise, if a Transaction occurs during the 30‑day period following the Termination of Status Date (the “30‑day Period”), any portion of this Option that has not yet vested that otherwise would remain outstanding during the 30‑day Period under this Section 4 instead will be forfeited for no consideration, subject to Applicable Laws, as of the date one day before the date on which the Transaction occurs. The date of the Participant’s termination as a Service Provider is detailed in Section 3(c) of the Plan.
5.    DEATH OF PARTICIPANT.

ForeScout_Stock Option Agreement
ForeScout Confidential
Page 3 of 30

 


Any distribution or delivery to be made to the Participant under this Agreement will, if he or she is then deceased, be made to the administrator or executor of his or her estate or, if the Administrator permits, his or her designated beneficiary. Any such transferee must furnish the Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations that apply to the transfer.
6.    EXERCISE OF OPTION.
(a)    Right to Exercise. This Option may be exercised only before its Expiration Date and only under the Plan and this Agreement.
(b)    Method of Exercise. To exercise this Option, the Participant must deliver and the Administrator must receive an exercise notice according to procedures determined by the Administrator. The exercise notice must:
(i)    state the number of Shares as to which this Option is being exercised (“Exercised Shares”),
(ii)    make any representations or agreements required by the Company,
(iii)    be accompanied by a payment of the total exercise price for all Exercised Shares, and
(iv)    be accompanied by a payment of all required Tax Obligations for all Exercised Shares.
The Option is exercised when both the exercise notice and payments due under Sections 6(b)(iii) and 6(b)(iv) have been received by the Company for all Exercised Shares. The Administrator may designate a particular exercise notice to be used, but until a designation is made, the exercise notice attached to this Agreement as Exhibit C may be used.
7.    METHOD OF PAYMENT.
The Participant may pay the exercise price for Exercised Shares by any of the following methods or a combination of methods:
(a)    cash;
(b)    check;
(c)    wire transfer;
(d)    consideration received by the Company under a formal cashless exercise program adopted by the Company; or
(e)    surrender of other Shares, as long as the Company determines that accepting such Shares does not result in any adverse accounting consequences to the Company. If Shares are surrendered, the value of those Shares will be the Fair Market Value for those Shares on the date they are surrendered.
A non-U.S. resident’s methods of exercise may be restricted by the terms and conditions of any appendix to this Agreement for the Participant’s country (the “Appendix”).

ForeScout_Stock Option Agreement

8.    TAX OBLIGATIONS.
(a)    Tax Withholding.
(i)    No Shares will be issued to the Participant until he or she makes satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Administrator) for the payment of Tax Obligations, including those that result from the award, vesting, or exercise of this Option, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired under this Option or the receipt of any dividends. If the Participant is a non-U.S. employee, the method of payment of Tax Obligations may be restricted by any Appendix. If the Participant fails to make satisfactory arrangements for the payment of any Tax Obligations under this Agreement at the time of an attempted Option exercise, the Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver the Shares.
(ii)    The Company has the right (but not the obligation) to satisfy any Tax Obligations by withholding from proceeds of a sale of Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Option arranged by the Company (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent).
(iii)    The Company also has the right (but not the obligation) to satisfy any Tax Obligations by reducing the number of Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant, provided, however, that if the Participant is an Officer, then the Company will withhold in Shares upon the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, unless the use of such withholding method is not permitted under Applicable Laws or has materially adverse accounting consequences, in which case, the Tax Obligations may be satisfied by one or a combination of the methods described in Section 8(a)(iv) below.
(iv)    Notwithstanding subsection (iii) above, the Company may, and the Participant authorizes the Company and/or any member(s) of the Company Group for whom he or she is performing services (each, an “Employer”) to, withhold any Tax Obligations legally payable by the Participant from his or her wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Company and/or the Employer(s) or from proceeds of the sale of Shares.
(v)    Further, if the Participant is subject to taxation in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, the Company and/or the Employer(s) or former Employer(s) may withhold or account for tax in more than one jurisdiction.
(vi)    Regardless of any action of the Company or the Employer(s), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax Obligations is and remains his or her responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer(s). The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and the Employer(s) (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax Obligations in connection with any aspect of the Option; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the award or any aspect of this Option to reduce or eliminate his or her liability for Tax Obligations or achieve any particular tax result.
(b)    Tax Reporting. This Section 8(b) applies if the Participant is a U.S. taxpayer. If this Option is partially or wholly an ISO, and if the Participant sells or otherwise disposes of any the Shares acquired by exercising the ISO portion on or before the later of (i) the date 2 years after the Grant Date, or (ii) the date 1 year after the date of exercise, he or she may be subject to withholding of Tax Obligations by the Company on the compensation income recognized by him or her and must immediately notify the Company in writing of the disposition.
9.    FORFEITURE OR CLAWBACK.

ForeScout_Stock Option Agreement
ForeScout Confidential
Page 5 of 30

 


This Option (including any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit received by the Participant from any subsequent sale of Shares resulting from the exercise) will be subject to any compensation recovery or clawback policy implemented by the Company before the date of this Agreement and any other compensation recovery or clawback policy adopted to comply with the requirements of Applicable Laws.
10.    RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER.
The Participant’s rights as a stockholder of the Company (including the right to vote and to receive dividends and distributions) will not begin until Shares have been issued and recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars.
11.    ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND AGREEMENTS.
The Participant’s signature on the Notice of Grant accepting this Option indicates that:
(a)    HE OR SHE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF THIS OPTION IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AND THAT BEING HIRED, AWARDED THIS OPTION, AND EXERCISING THE OPTION WILL NOT RESULT IN VESTING.
(b)    HE OR SHE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS OPTION AND AGREEMENT DO NOT CREATE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND DO NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH HIS OR HER RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE EMPLOYER(S) TO TERMINATE HIS OR HER RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE, SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAWS.
(c)    The Participant agrees that this Agreement and its incorporated documents reflect all agreements on its subject matters and that he or she is not accepting this Agreement based on any promises, representations, or inducements other than those reflected in the Agreement.
(d)    The Participant understands that exercise of this Option is governed strictly by Sections 6, 7, and 8 of this Agreement and that failure to comply with those Sections could result in the expiration of this Option, even if an attempt was made to exercise.
(e)    The Participant agrees that the Company’s delivery of any documents related to the Plan or this Option (including the Plan, the Agreement, the Plan’s prospectus and any reports of the Company provided generally to the Company’s stockholders) to him or her may be made by electronic delivery, which may include the delivery of a link to a Company intranet or the Internet site of a third party involved in administering the Plan, the delivery of the document via e-mail, or any other means of electronic delivery specified by the Company. If the attempted electronic delivery of such documents fails, the Participant will be provided with a paper copy of the documents. The Participant acknowledges that he or she may receive from the Company a paper copy of any documents that were delivered electronically at no cost to him or her by contacting the Company by telephone or in writing.

12.    DATA PRIVACY.
(a)    The Participant voluntarily consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of his or her personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Grant materials (“Data”) by and among, as applicable, the Employer(s), the Company and any member of the Company Group for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering, and managing his or her participation in the Plan.
(b)    The Participant understands that the Company and the Employer(s) may hold certain personal information about him or her, including, but not limited to, his or her name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all equity awards or any other entitlement to stock or equivalent benefits awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in his or her favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering, and managing the Plan.
(c)    The Participant understands that Data will be transferred to one or more stock plan service provider(s) selected by the Company, which may assist the Company with the implementation, administration, and

management of the Plan. The Participant understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than his or her country. The Participant understands that if he or she resides outside the United States, he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. The Participant authorizes the Company and any other possible recipients that may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purposes of implementing, administering and managing his or her participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to such stock plan service provider or other third party with whom the Participant may elect to deposit any Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option.
(d)    The Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage his or her participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that if he or she resides in certain jurisdictions outside the United States, to the extent required by Applicable Laws, he or she may, at any time, request access to Data, request information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents given by accepting this Option, in any case without cost, by contacting his or her local human resources representative. Further, the Participant understands that he or she is providing these consents on a purely voluntary basis. If the Participant does not consent or if he or she later seeks to revoke his or her consent, his or her engagement as a Service Provider with the Employer(s) will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing his or her consent is that the Company will not be able to grant him or her awards under the Plan or administer or maintain awards. Therefore, the Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan (including the right to retain this Option). The Participant understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative for more information on the consequences of his or her refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent.
13.    INSIDER TRADING RESTRICTIONS/MARKET ABUSE LAWS.
The Participant acknowledges that he or she may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws in applicable jurisdictions, including the U.S. and the Participant’s country of residence, which may affect the Participant’s ability to directly or indirectly, for him or herself or for a third party, acquire or sell, or attempt to sell, Shares or rights to Shares (e.g., the Option) under the Plan during such times as the Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in the applicable jurisdiction, including the United States and the Participant’s country of residence) or the trade in Shares or the trade in rights to Shares under the Plan. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. The Participant further acknowledges that it is the Participant’s responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions and that the Participant should speak to a personal legal adviser on this matter.
14.    FOREIGN ASSET/ACCOUNT REPORTING REQUIREMENTS, EXCHANGE CONTROLS.
The Participant’s country may have certain foreign asset and/or account reporting requirements and exchange controls which may affect the Participant’s ability to acquire or hold Shares under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends received or sale proceeds arising from the sale of Shares) in a brokerage or bank account outside the Participant’s country. The Participant understands that he or she may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in the Participant’s country. The Participant also may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of participation in the Plan to his or her country through a designated bank or broker and/or within a certain time

The Participant expressly warrants that he or she is not accepting this Agreement in reliance on any promises, representations, or inducements other than those contained herein. Modifications to this Agreement or the Plan can be made only in an express written contract executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company.

EXHIBIT B
APPENDIX TO STOCK OPTION GRANT AGREEMENT
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
This Appendix to Stock Option Grant Agreement (the “Appendix”) includes additional terms and conditions that govern this Option awarded to the Participant under the Plan if he or she resides and/or works in one of the countries listed below. If the Participant is a citizen or resident (or is considered as such for local law purposes) of a country other than the country in which the Participant is currently residing and/or working, or if the Participant relocates to another country after the Options is granted, the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall apply to the Participant.
NOTIFICATION
This Appendix may also include information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which the Participant should be aware with respect to participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control, and other Applicable Laws in effect in the respective countries as of November 2016. Such Applicable Laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Participant not rely on the information in this Appendix as the only source of information relating to the consequences of participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time the Participant vests in or exercises the Option or sells Shares acquired under the Plan.
In addition, the information contained in this Appendix is general in nature and may not apply to the Participant’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure him or her of a particular result. The Participant should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the Applicable Laws in his or her country may apply to his or her situation.
Finally, if the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which he or she is currently residing and/or working, transfers residence and/or employment after this Option is awarded, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information in this Appendix may not apply to him or her in the same manner.

The Company, with offices at 190 West Tasman Drive, San Jose, California 95134, USA, is solely responsible for the administration of the Plan, and participation in the Plan and the grant of the Option does not, in any way, establish an employment relationship between the Participant and the Company since the Participant is participating in the Plan on a wholly-commercial basis. Based on the foregoing, the Participant expressly acknowledges that the Plan and the benefits that the Participant may derive from participation in the Plan do not establish any rights between the Participant and the Company and do not form part of any service contract between the Participant and the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary. Further, the Participant agrees that any modification of the Plan or its termination shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Participant’s employment or service contract, if applicable.

By accepting the Option, the Participant consents to participation in the Plan and acknowledges that he or she has received a copy of the Plan.

ForeScout_Stock Option Agreement
ForeScout Confidential
Page 21 of 30

 


The Participant understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant options under the Plan to individuals who may be Service Providers of the Company or of a Parent or Subsidiary throughout the world. This decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not bind the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary other than as expressly set forth in the Agreement. Consequently, the Participant understands that the Option is granted on the assumption and condition that the Option and any Shares issued upon exercise of the Option are not a part of any employment or service contract (either with the Company or with any Parent or Subsidiary) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purpose (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever.
Further, the Participant understands and agrees that, unless otherwise expressly provided for by the Company or set forth in the Plan or the Agreement, the Option will be cancelled without entitlement to any Shares underlying the Option if the Participant’s status as a Service Provider is terminated for any reason, including, but not limited to: resignation, retirement, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without good cause (i.e., subject to a “despido improcedente”), material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers’ Statute, relocation under Article 40 of the Workers’ Statute, Article 50 of the Workers’ Statute, or under Article 10.3 of Royal Decree 1382/1985. The Company, in its sole discretion, shall determine the date when the Participant’s status as a Service Provider has terminated for purposes of the Option.
In addition, the Participant understands that this grant would not be made to the Participant but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Participant acknowledges and freely accepts that, should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any grant of, or right to, the Option shall be null and void.
Notifications
Securities Law Information. The Option described in the Agreement does not qualify under Spanish regulations as a security. No “offer of securities to the public,” as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory in connection with the grant of the Option. The Agreement has not been, nor will it be, registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores, and does not constitute a public offering prospectus.
UNITED KINGDOM
Terms and Conditions
Joint Election for Transfer of Liability for Employer National Insurance Contributions. If the Participant is a tax resident in the United Kingdom, the Option is conditional upon the Participant’s agreement to accept liability for any secondary Class 1 national insurance contributions which may be payable by the Employer in connection with any event giving rise to tax liability in relation to the Option (“Employer NICs”). The Employer NICs may be collected by the Company or the Employer using any of the methods described in Section 8 of the Terms and Conditions of Stock Option Grant. Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Participant agrees to enter into a joint election with the Company or the Employer (a “Joint Election”), the form of such Joint Election being formally approved by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”), and any other consent or elections required to accomplish the transfer of the Employer NICs to the Participant. The Participant further agrees to enter into such other elections as may be required by any successor to the Company and/or the Employer for the purpose of continuing the effectiveness of the Participant’s Joint Election. If the Participant does not enter into the Joint Election prior to exercising the Option, or if approval of the Joint Election is withdrawn by HMRC and a new

ForeScout_Stock Option Agreement

Joint Election is not entered into, the Participant’s Option shall become null and void without any liability to the Company or its Subsidiaries. The Participant must enter into the Joint Election attached to this Appendix, concurrent with the execution or electronic acceptance of the Agreement, or at such subsequent time as may be designated by the Company.
Tax Withholding. The following provision supplements Section 8 of the Terms and Conditions of Stock Option Grant:
If payment or withholding of any income tax liability arising in connection with the Participant’s participation in the Plan is not made within 90 days after the end of the U.K. tax year in which the relevant taxable or tax withholding event occurs, or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the ITEPA 2003 (the “Due Date”), the amount of any uncollected income tax will constitute a loan owed by the Participant to the Employer, effective on the Due Date. The Participant agrees that the loan will bear interest at then-current Official Rate of HMRC, that it will be immediately due and repayable by the Participant, and that the Company or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section 8 of the Terms and Conditions of Stock Option Grant.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), the Participant will not be eligible for such a loan to cover the income tax due as described above. In the event that the Participant is a director or executive officer and the income tax is not collected from or paid by the Participant by the Due Date, the amount of any uncollected tax may constitute a benefit to the Participant on which additional income tax and NICs may be payable. The Participant is responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for paying the Company or the Employer (as applicable) for the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which the Company and/or the Employer may recover from the Participant by any of the means referred to in Section 8 of the Terms and Conditions of Stock Option Grant.

EXHIBIT A
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT
1.GRANT.
The Company awards the Participant a Grant of RSUs as described in the Notice of Grant. If there is a conflict between the Plan, this Agreement, or any other agreement with the Participant governing these RSUs, those documents will take precedence and prevail in the following order: (a) the Plan, (b) the Agreement, and (c) any other agreement between the Company and the Participant governing these RSUs.
2.    COMPANY’S OBLIGATION TO PAY.
Each RSU is a right to receive a Share on the date it vests. Until an RSU vests, the Participant has no right to payment of the Share. Before a vested RSU is paid, the RSU is an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the Company’s general assets. A vested RSU will be paid to the Participant (or in the event of his or her death, to his or her estate) in whole Shares as soon as practicable after vesting (but no later than 60 days following the vesting date), subject to him or her satisfying any obligations for Tax Obligations and any delay in payment required under Section 7 of this Agreement. The Participant cannot specify (directly or indirectly) the taxable year of the payment of any vested RSU under this Agreement.
3.    VESTING.
These RSUs will vest only under the Vesting Schedule in the Notice of Grant, Section 4 of this Agreement, or Section 14 of the Plan. RSUs scheduled to vest on a certain date or upon the occurrence of a certain condition will not vest unless the Participant continues to be a Service Provider until the time such vesting is scheduled to occur. The Administrator may modify the Vesting Schedule according to its authority under the Plan if the Participant takes a leave of absence or has a reduction in hours worked.
4.    ADMINISTRATOR DISCRETION.
The Administrator has the discretion to accelerate the vesting of any RSUs at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. In that case, those RSUs will be vested as of the date and to the extent specified by the Administrator.
5.    FORFEITURE UPON TERMINATION OF STATUS AS A SERVICE PROVIDER.
Upon the Participant’s termination as a Service Provider for any reason, these RSUs will immediately stop vesting, and on the 30th day following the Termination of Status Date (or any earlier date on or following the Termination of Status Date determined by the Administrator), any of these RSUs that have not yet vested will be forfeited by the Participant for no consideration, subject to Applicable Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Administrator determines otherwise, if a Transaction occurs during the 30‑day period following the Termination of Status Date (the “30‑day Period”), any RSUs that have not yet vested that otherwise would remain outstanding during the 30‑day Period under this Section 5 instead will be forfeited for no consideration, subject to Applicable Laws, as of the date one day before the date on which the Transaction occurs. The date of the Participant’s termination as a Service Provider is detailed in Section 3(c) of the Plan.

6.    DEATH OF PARTICIPANT.
Any distribution or delivery to be made to the Participant under this Agreement will, if he or she is then deceased, be made to the administrator or executor of his or her estate or, if the Administrator permits, his or her designated beneficiary. Any such transferee must furnish the Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations that apply to the transfer.
7.    TAX OBLIGATIONS.
(a)    Tax Withholding.
(i)    No Shares will be issued to the Participant until he or she makes satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Administrator) for the payment of Tax Obligations, including those that result from the award, vesting, or payment of these RSUs, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such payment, or the receipt of any dividends. If the Participant is a non-U.S. employee, the method of payment of Tax Obligations may be restricted by any Appendix. If the Participant fails to make satisfactory arrangements for the payment of any Tax Obligations under this Agreement when any of these RSUs otherwise are supposed to vest or Tax Obligations related to RSUs otherwise are due, he or she will permanently forfeit the applicable RSUs and any right to receive Shares under such RSUs, and such RSUs will be returned to the Company at no cost to the Company.
(ii)    The Company has the right (but not the obligation) to satisfy any Tax Obligations by withholding from proceeds of a sale of Shares acquired upon payment of these RSUs arranged by the Company (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent).
(iii)    The Company also has the right (but not the obligation) to satisfy any Tax Obligations by reducing the number of Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant, provided, however, that if the Participant is an Officer, then the Company will withhold in Shares upon the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, unless the use of such withholding method is not permitted under Applicable Laws or has materially adverse accounting consequences, in which case, the Tax Obligations may be satisfied by one of the methods described in Section 7(a)(iv) below.
(iv)    Notwithstanding subsection (iii) above, the Company may, and the Participant authorizes the Company and/or any member(s) of the Company Group for whom he or she is performing services (each, an “Employer”) to, withhold any Tax Obligations legally payable by the Participant from his or her wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Company and/or the Employer(s) or from proceeds of the sale of Shares.
(v)    Further, if the Participant is subject to taxation in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, the Employer(s) or former Employer(s) may withhold or account for tax in more than one jurisdiction.
(vi)    Regardless of any action of the Company or the Employer(s), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax Obligations is and remains his or her responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer(s). The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and the Employer(s) (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax Obligations in connection with any aspect of these RSUs and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure

the terms of the grant or any aspect of these RSUs to reduce or eliminate his or her liability for Tax Obligations or achieve any particular tax result.
(b)    Code Section 409A. This Section 7(b) does not apply if the Participant is not a U.S. taxpayer.
(i)    If the vesting of any RSUs is accelerated in connection with a termination of the Participant’s status as a Service Provider that is a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and (x) the Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A at that time and (y) the payment of such accelerated RSUs would result in the imposition of additional tax under Code Section 409A if paid to the Participant within the 6-month period following such termination, then the accelerated RSUs will not be paid until the first day after the 6-month period ends.
(ii)    If the Participant’s status as a Service Provider terminates due to death or the Participant dies after he or she stops being a Service Provider, and but for this Section 7(b)(ii), Section 7(b)(i) of this Agreement would apply to any such accelerated RSUs, then the delay under Section 7(b)(i) of this Agreement will not apply, and such RSUs will be paid in Shares to the Participant’s estate as soon as practicable.
(iii)    All payments and benefits under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from Code Section 409A or comply with any requirements necessary to avoid the imposition of additional tax under Code Section 409A(a)(1)(B) so that none of these RSUs or Shares issuable upon the vesting of RSUs will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Code Section 409A, and any ambiguities or ambiguous terms will be interpreted according to that intent.
(iv)    Each payment under this Agreement is a separate payment under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-2(b)(2).
(v)    In no event will the Company reimburse the Participant for any taxes imposed or other costs incurred as a result of Code Section 409A.

11.    DATA PRIVACY.
(a)    The Participant voluntarily consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of his or her personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Grant materials (“Data”) by and among, as applicable, the Employer(s), the Company and any member of the Company Group for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering, and managing his or her participation in the Plan.
(b)    The Participant understands that the Company and the Employer(s) may hold certain personal information about him or her, including, but not limited to, his or her name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all equity awards or any other entitlement to stock or equivalent benefits awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in his or her favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering, and managing the Plan.
(c)    The Participant understands that Data will be transferred to one or more stock plan service provider(s) selected by the Company, which may assist the Company with the implementation, administration, and management of the Plan. The Participant understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than his or her country. The Participant understands that if he or she resides outside the United States, he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. The Participant authorizes the Company and any other possible recipients that may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purposes of implementing, administering and managing his or her participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to such stock plan service provider or other third party with whom the Participant may elect to deposit any Shares acquired upon vesting of the RSUs.
(d)    The Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage his or her participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that if he or she resides in certain jurisdictions outside the United States, to the extent required by Applicable Laws, he or she may, at any time, request access to Data, request information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents given by accepting these RSUs, in any case without cost, by contacting his or her local human resources representative. Further, the Participant understands that he or she is providing these consents on a purely voluntary basis. If the Participant does not consent or if he or she later seeks to revoke his or her consent, his or her engagement as a Service Provider with the Employer(s) will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing his or her consent is that the Company will not be able to grant him or her awards under the Plan or administer or maintain awards. Therefore, the Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan (including the right to retain these RSUs). The Participant understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative for more information on the consequences of his or her refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent.
12.    INSIDER TRADING RESTRICTIONS/MARKET ABUSE LAWS.
The Participant acknowledges that he or she may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws in applicable jurisdictions, including the United States and the Participant’s country of residence, which may affect the Participant’s ability to directly or indirectly, for him or herself or for a third party, acquire or sell, or attempt to sell, Shares or rights to Shares (e.g., RSUs) under the Plan during such times as the Participant is

The Participant further acknowledges that it is the Participant’s responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions and that the Participant should speak to a personal legal adviser on this matter.
13.    FOREIGN ASSET/ACCOUNT REPORTING REQUIREMENTS, EXCHANGE CONTROLS.
The Participant’s country may have certain foreign asset and/or account reporting requirements and exchange controls which may affect the Participant’s ability to acquire or hold Shares under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends received or sale proceeds arising from the sale of Shares) in a brokerage or bank account outside the Participant’s country. The Participant understands that he or she may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in the Participant’s country. The Participant also may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of participation in the Plan to his or her country through a designated bank or broker and/or within a certain time after receipt. In addition, the Participant may be subject to tax payment and/or reporting obligations in connection with any income realized under the Plan and/or from the sale of Shares.

Terms and Conditions
Nature of Grant. This provision supplements Section 10 of the Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock Unit Grant:
By accepting the RSUs, the Participant consents to participation in the Plan and acknowledges that he or she has received a copy of the Plan.
The Participant understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant RSUs under the Plan to individuals who may be Service Providers of the Company or of a Parent or Subsidiary throughout the world. This decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not bind the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary other than as expressly set forth in the Agreement. Consequently, the Participant understands that the RSUs are granted on the assumption and condition that the RSUs and any Shares issued upon vesting of the RSUs are not a part of any employment or service contract (either with the Company or with any Parent or Subsidiary) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purpose (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever.
Further, the Participant understands and agrees that, unless otherwise expressly provided for by the Company or set forth in the Plan or the Agreement, the RSUs will be cancelled without entitlement to any Shares underlying the RSUs if the Participant’s status as a Service Provider is terminated for any reason, including, but not limited to: resignation, retirement, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without good cause (i.e., subject to a “despido improcedente”), material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers’ Statute, relocation under Article 40 of the Workers’ Statute,

In addition, the Participant understands that this grant would not be made to the Participant but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Participant acknowledges and freely accepts that, should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any grant of, or right to, the RSUs shall be null and void.
Notifications

No “offer of securities to the public,” as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory in connection with the grant of the RSUs.

RSUs shall be settled only in Shares. In no event shall the RSUs be paid in cash, notwithstanding any discretion contained in the Plan to the contrary.
Joint Election for Transfer of Liability for Employer National Insurance Contributions. If the Participant is a tax resident in the United Kingdom, the RSU Grant is conditional upon the Participant’s agreement to accept liability for any secondary Class 1 national insurance contributions which may be payable by the Employer in connection with any event giving rise to tax liability in relation to the RSUs (“Employer NICs”). The Employer NICs may be collected by the Company or the Employer using any of the methods described in Section 7 of the Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock Unit Grant. Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Participant agrees to enter into a joint election with the Company or the Employer (a “Joint Election”), the form of such Joint Election being formally approved by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”), and any other consent or elections required to accomplish the transfer of the Employer NICs to the Participant. The Participant further agrees to enter into such other elections as may be required by any successor to the Company and/or the Employer for the purpose of continuing the effectiveness of the Participant’s Joint Election. If the Participant does not enter into the Joint Election prior to vesting in the Participant’s RSUs, or if approval of the Joint Election is withdrawn by HMRC and a new Joint Election is not entered into, the Participant’s RSUs shall become null and void and may not be settled, without any liability to the Company or its Subsidiaries. The Participant must enter into the Joint Election attached to this Appendix, concurrent with the execution or electronic acceptance of the Agreement, or at such subsequent time as may be designated by the Company.
Tax Withholding. The following provision supplements Section 7 of the Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock Unit Grant:

withholding event occurs, or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the ITEPA 2003 (the “Due Date”), the amount of any uncollected income tax will constitute a loan owed by the Participant to the Employer, effective on the Due Date. The Participant agrees that the loan will bear interest at then-current Official Rate of HMRC, that it will be immediately due and repayable by the Participant, and that the Company or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section 7 of the Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock Unit Grant.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), the Participant will not be eligible for such a loan to cover the income tax due as described above. In the event that the Participant is a director or executive officer and the income tax is not collected from or paid by the Participant by the Due Date, the amount of any uncollected tax may constitute a benefit to the Participant on which additional income tax and NICs may be payable. The Participant is responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for paying the Company or the Employer (as applicable) for the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which the Company and/or the Employer may recover from the Participant by any of the means referred to in Section 7 of the Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock Unit Grant.
