NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION POLICY

Each member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) who is not also serving as an employee of Insys Therapeutics, Inc. (“Insys Therapeutics”) or any of its subsidiaries (each such member, an “Eligible Director”) will receive the compensation described in this Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy for his or her Board service following the closing of the initial public offering of Insys Therapeutics’ common stock (the “IPO”).

This policy will be effective upon the date of the underwriting agreement between Insys Therapeutics and the underwriters managing the initial public offering of the common stock of Insys Therapeutics (the “Common Stock”), pursuant to which the Common Stock is priced in the IPO. This policy may be amended at any time in the sole discretion of the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board.

Annual Cash Compensation

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

1. Initial Grant: On the date of the Eligible Director’s initial election to the Board (or, if such date is not a market trading day, the first market trading day thereafter), the Eligible Director will be automatically, and without further action by the Board or Compensation Committee of the Board, granted a stock option for 20,000 shares. For the avoidance of doubt, Eligible Directors who are serving on the Board at the effective date of the IPO will not be awarded an initial grant. One-third of the shares subject to each stock option will vest on the one year anniversary of the date of grant and the balance of the shares will vest in a series of 24 equal monthly installments thereafter, such that the option is fully vested on the third anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the Eligible Director’s Continuous Service (as defined in the Plan) through each such vesting date and will vest in full upon a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan).

2. Annual Grant: On the date of each Insys Therapeutics’ annual stockholder meeting held after the effective date of the IPO beginning in 2014, each Eligible Director who continues to serve as a non-employee member of the Board will be automatically, and without further action by the Board or Compensation Committee of the Board, granted a stock option for 10,000 shares. The shares subject to the stock option will vest monthly over the one year following the date of grant such that all of the shares subject to the option will be fully vested on the one year anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the Eligible Director’s Continuous Service (as defined in the Plan) through each such vesting date and will vest in full upon a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan).
