Form of Change in Control and Severance Agreement

Exhibit 10.2

CHANGE IN CONTROL AND SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

This Change in Control and Severance Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made between QuantumScape Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), QuantumScape Battery, Inc. (the “Employer”), and [                    ] (the “Executive”), effective on the date of the Company’s signature below (the “Effective Date”).

This Agreement provides certain protections to the Executive in connection with a change in control of the Company or in connection with the involuntary termination of the Executive’s employment under the circumstances described in this Agreement.

For good and value consideration, the Company and the Employer and the Executive agree as follows:

1.    Term of Agreement. This Agreement will have an initial term of three years commencing on the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”). On the third anniversary of the Effective Date and each anniversary thereafter, this Agreement will renew automatically for additional one (1) year terms (each an “Additional Term”), unless either party provides the other party with written notice of non-renewal at least 90 days prior to the date of automatic renewal. If a Change in Control occurs when there are fewer than 12 months remaining during the Initial Term or an Additional Term, the term of this Agreement will extend automatically through the date that is 12 months following the effective date of the Change in Control. If Executive becomes entitled to benefits under Section 3 during the term of this Agreement, the Agreement will not terminate until all of the obligations of the parties hereto with respect to this Agreement have been satisfied. For clarity, an election by the Company not to renew this Agreement for an Additional Term will not be deemed to be a termination of Executive’s employment without Cause or grounds for a resignation for Good Reason and, accordingly, Executive will not become eligible for severance benefits under Section 3 as a result thereof.

2.    At-Will Employment. The Company, the Employer and the Executive acknowledge that the Executive’s employment is and will continue to be at-will, as defined under applicable law.

3.    Severance Benefits.

(a)    Non-CIC Qualified Termination. On a Non-CIC Qualified Termination, the Executive will be eligible to receive the following payment and benefits from the Company or the Employer, as applicable:

(i)    Salary Severance. Executive will be paid continuing payments of severance pay at a rate equal to Executive’s Base Salary for [CEO: twelve (12) months / Other Executives: 6 months] from the date of such termination of employment (the “Continuance Period”), to be paid periodically in accordance with the Company Group’s normal payroll policies.

FORM

(ii)    Bonus. A lump-sum payment equal to 50% of the greater of (x) the projected amount of Executive’s bonus for the fiscal year in which the Non-CIC Qualified Termination Occurs; or (y) Executive’s target annual bonus as in effect for the fiscal year in which the Non-CIC Qualified Termination occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that for executives other than the Chief Executive Officer, the payment of any bonus amount is in the sole discretion of the Committee.

(iii)    Health Benefit. If Executive elects continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA within the time period prescribed pursuant to COBRA for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents, then the Company or the Employer will pay Executive’s COBRA premiums for such coverage (at the coverage levels in effect immediately prior to Executive’s termination) until the earlier of (A) a period of [CEO: twelve (12) months / Other Executives: 6 months] from the date of termination or (B) the date upon which Executive and/or Executive’s eligible dependents become covered under similar plans.

(b)    CIC Qualified Termination. On a CIC Qualified Termination, the Executive will be eligible to receive the following payment and benefits from the Company or the Employer, as applicable:

(i)    Salary Severance. A lump-sum payment equal to 100% of the Executive’s Base Salary.

(ii)    Bonus Severance. A lump-sum payment equal to 100% of the greater of (x) the projected amount of Executive’s bonus for the fiscal year in which the CIC Qualified Termination occurs; or (y) Executive’s target annual bonus as in effect for the fiscal year in which the CIC Qualified Termination occurs.

(iii)    Health Benefit. If Executive elects continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA within the time period prescribed pursuant to COBRA for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents, then the Company or the Employer will pay Executive’s COBRA premiums for such coverage (at the coverage levels in effect immediately prior to Executive’s termination) until the earlier of (A) a period of twelve (12) months from the date of termination or (B) the date upon which Executive and/or Executive’s eligible dependents become covered under similar plans.

(iv)    Equity Vesting. 100% of the then-unvested shares subject to each of the Executive’s then-outstanding equity awards will immediately vest and, in the case of options and stock appreciation rights, will become exercisable (for avoidance of doubt, no more than 100% of the shares subject to the then-outstanding portion of an equity award may vest and become exercisable under this provision). In the case of an equity award with performance-based vesting, unless otherwise specified in the applicable equity award agreement governing such award, all performance goals and other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at 100% of target levels. Any restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, and/or similar full value awards that vest under this paragraph will be settled on the 61^st day following the CIC Qualified Termination. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Executive’s qualified termination occurs prior to a Change in Control, then any unvested portion

- 2 -

FORM

of the Executive’s then-outstanding equity awards will remain outstanding for 3 months or the occurrence of a Change in Control (whichever is earlier) so that any benefits due on a CIC Qualified Termination can be provided if a Change in Control occurs within 3 months following the qualified termination (provided that in no event will the Executive’s stock options or similar equity awards remain outstanding beyond the equity award’s maximum term to expiration). In that case, if no Change in Control occurs within 3 months following a qualified termination, any unvested portion of the Executive’s equity awards automatically will be forfeited permanently on the 3-month anniversary of the qualified termination without having vested.

(c)    Termination other than a Qualified Termination. If the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company Group is not a Non-CIC Qualified Termination or a CIC Qualified Termination, then the Executive will not be eligible to receive severance or other benefits under this Agreement.

(d)    Non-Duplication of Payment or Benefits. If (i) the Executive’s qualified termination occurs prior to a Change in Control that qualifies Executive for severance payments and benefits under Section 3(a) and (ii) a Change in Control occurs within the 3-month period following Executive’s qualified termination that qualifies Executive for severance payments and benefits under Section 3(b), then (A) the Executive will cease receiving any further payments or benefits under Section 3(a) and (B) the Executive will receive the payments and benefits under Section 3(b) instead but each of the payments and benefits otherwise payable under Section 3(b) will be offset by the corresponding payments or benefits the Executive already received under Section 3(a).

(e)    Death of the Executive. If the Executive dies before all payments or benefits the Executive is entitled to receive under this Agreement have been paid, the unpaid amounts will be paid to the Executive’s designated beneficiary, if living, or otherwise to the Executive’s personal representative in a lump-sum payment as soon as possible following the Executive’s death.

(f)    Transfer between the Company Group. For purposes of this Agreement, if the Executive is involuntarily transferred from one member of the Company Group to another, the transfer will not be a termination without Cause but may give the Executive the ability to resign for Good Reason, subject to Section 7(k).

(g)    Exclusive Remedy. In the event of a termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company Group, the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and are exclusive and in lieu of any other rights or remedies to which the Executive may otherwise be entitled, whether at law, tort or contract, in equity. The Executive will be entitled to no benefits, compensation or other payments or rights upon termination of employment other than those benefits expressly set forth in this Agreement, subject to applicable law.

4.    Accrued Compensation. On any termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company Group, the Executive will be entitled to receive all accrued but unpaid vacation (if any), expense reimbursements, wages, and other benefits due to the Executive under any Company-provided plans, policies, and arrangements.

5.    Conditions to Receipt of Severance.

(a)    Separation Agreement and Release of Claims. The Executive’s receipt of any severance payments or benefits upon the Executive’s qualified termination under Section 3 is subject to the Executive signing and not revoking the Company Group’s then-standard separation agreement and release of claims (which may include an agreement not to disparage any member of the Company Group, a confidentiality clause, non-solicit provisions, an agreement to assist in any litigation matters, and other standard terms and conditions) (the “Release” and that requirement, the “Release Requirement”), which must become effective and irrevocable no later than the 60th day following the Executive’s qualified termination (the “Release Deadline”). If the Release does not become effective and irrevocable by the Release Deadline due to the actions of the Executive (including refusal to sign the Release), the Executive will forfeit any right to severance payments or benefits under Section 3. In no event will severance payments or benefits under Section 3 be earned or provided until the Release actually becomes effective and irrevocable. If earned, none of the severance payments and benefits payable upon the Executive’s qualified termination under Section 3 will be paid or otherwise provided prior to the 60th day following the Executive’s qualified termination. Except with respect to (1) the extent that payments are delayed under Section 5(c), or (2) the timing of settlement of equity awards under Section 3(b)(iv), on the first regular payroll pay day following the 60th day following the Executive’s qualified termination, the Company or the Employer will pay or provide the Executive the severance payments and benefits that the Executive would otherwise have received under Section 3 on or prior to that date, with the balance of the severance payments and benefits being paid or provided as originally scheduled.

(b)    Return of Company Property. The Executive’s receipt of any severance payments or benefits upon the Executive’s qualified termination under Section 3 is subject to the Executive returning all documents and other property provided to Executive by any member of the Company Group (with the exception of a copy of the Employee Handbook and personnel documents specifically relating to Executive), developed or obtained by Executive in connection with his employment with the Company Group, or otherwise belonging to the Company Group.

(c)    Section 409A. The Company and the Employer intend that all payments and benefits provided under this Agreement or otherwise are exempt from, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and any guidance promulgated under Section 409A of the Code (collectively, “Section 409A”) so that none of the payments or benefits will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities in this Agreement will be interpreted in accordance with this intent. No payment or benefits to be paid to the Executive, if any, under this Agreement or otherwise, when considered together with any other severance payments or separation benefits that are considered deferred compensation under Section 409A (together, the “Deferred Payments”) will be paid or otherwise provided until the Executive has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. If, at the time of the Executive’s termination of employment, the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A, then the payment of the Deferred Payments will be delayed to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, which generally means that the Executive will receive payment on

- 4 -

FORM

the first payroll date that occurs on or after the date that is 6 months and 1 day following the Executive’s termination of employment. The Company reserves the right to amend this Agreement as it considers necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Executive or any other individual, to comply with any provision required to avoid the imposition of the additional tax imposed under Section 409A or to otherwise avoid income recognition under Section 409A prior to the actual payment of any benefits or imposition of any additional tax. Each payment, installment, and benefit payable under this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2). In no event will any member of the Company Group reimburse the Executive for any taxes that may be imposed on the Executive as a result of Section 409A.

(d)    Resignation of Officer and Director Positions. The Executive’s receipt of any severance payments or benefits upon the Executive’s qualified termination under Section 3 is subject to the Executive resigning from all officer and director positions with all members of the Company Group and Executive executing any documents the Company or the Employer may require in connection with the same.

6.    Limitation on Payments.

(a)    Reduction of Severance Benefits. If any payment or benefit that the Executive would receive from any Company Group member or any other party whether in connection with the provisions in this Agreement or otherwise (the “Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the Payment will be equal to the Best Results Amount. The “Best Results Amount” will be either (x) the full amount of the Payment or (y) a lesser amount that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of those amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the Executive’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting parachute payments is necessary so that the Payment equals the Best Results Amount, reduction will occur in the following order: reduction of cash payments; cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock awards; reduction of employee benefits. In the event that acceleration of vesting of stock award compensation is to be reduced, the acceleration of vesting will be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of the Executive’s equity awards unless the Executive elects in writing a different order for cancellation. The Executive will be solely responsible for the payment of all personal tax liability that is incurred as a result of the payments and benefits received under this Agreement, and the Executive will not be reimbursed by any member of the Company Group for any of those payments of personal tax liability.

(b)    Determination of Excise Tax Liability. The Company will select a professional services firm to make all of the determinations required to be made under these paragraphs relating to parachute payments. The Company will request that firm provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive prior to the date on which the event that triggers the Payment occurs if administratively feasible, or subsequent to that date if events occur that result in parachute

- 5 -

FORM

payments to the Executive at that time. For purposes of making the calculations required under these paragraphs relating to parachute payments, the firm may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith determinations concerning the application of the Code. The Company and the Executive will furnish to the firm any information and documents as the firm may reasonably request in order to make a determination under these paragraphs relating to parachute payments. The Company will bear all costs the firm may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by these paragraphs relating to parachute payments. Any determination by the firm will be binding upon the Company, the Employer and the Executive, and the Company and the Employer will have no liability to the Executive for the determinations of the firm.

7.    Definitions. The following terms referred to in this Agreement will have the following meanings:

(a)    “Base Salary” means the Executive’s annual base salary as in effect immediately prior to the Executive’s qualified termination (or if the termination is due to a resignation for Good Reason based on a material reduction in base salary, then the Executive’s annual base salary in effect immediately prior to the reduction) or, if the Executive’s qualified termination is a CIC Qualified Termination and the amount is greater, at the level in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control.
