The terms of your new full-time position with the Company are as set forth below:
a) | Base Salary: You will be paid at the rate of $30,416.67 per month (which is equivalent to $365,000.00 on an annualized basis), less payroll deductions and withholdings (the “Base Salary”), payable pursuant to the Company’s regular payroll practices. The Base Salary will be reviewed annually as part of the Company’s normal salary review process. |
In connection with the commencement of your employment, the compensation committee of the board of directors will grant an option to purchase 125,000 shares (“Option Shares”) of Common Stock of the Company and will grant 310,000 MobileIron restricted stock units (“MobileIron RSU’s”).
The Option Shares will have an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of the grant. The Option Shares will vest at the rate of 25% of the shares on the twelve (12) month anniversary of your Vesting Commencement Date (as defined in your Stock Option Agreement, which date will be your Start Date, as defined above) and the remaining Option Shares will vest monthly thereafter at the rate of 1/48 of the total number of the Option Shares per month, until either your Option Shares are fully vested or your employment ends, whichever occurs first. In the event that you are terminated by the Company, other than for Cause, after the end of the initial six-month period following your start date and before the 12 month anniversary of your Start Date, the Option Shares vesting shall be revised so that 12.5% of the shares vest as of the end of such six- month period, and the remaining Option Shares vest monthly thereafter at the rate of 1/48 of the total number of Option Shares per month through the termination date.
The MobileIron RSUs will vest ratably over four years as follows: (i) 25% of the total number of MobileIron RSUs will vest on the Quarterly Vesting Date (see below) that is in the same calendar quarter as the one year anniversary of your employment start date, and (ii) the remaining MobileIron RSUs will vest ratably with 6.25% of the total RSUs vesting on each subsequent Quarterly Vesting Date, until the MobileIron RSUs are totally vested, subject to your continued employment on each such Quarterly Vesting Date. The Quarterly Vesting Dates are February 20, May 20, August 20, and November 20 of each year. The MobileIron RSU’s will be subject to the terms of the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan and the MobileIron RSU Award Agreement, as applicable, between you and the Company.
execution, and delivery to an officer of the Company, of the Company’s Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement, a copy of which is enclosed for your review and execution (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), prior to or on your Start Date. As a Company employee, you will be expected to abide by Company rules and policies, and acknowledge in writing that you have read the Company’s Employee Handbook.
By agreeing to this arbitration procedure, both you and the Company waive the right to resolve any such dispute through a trial by jury or judge or administrative proceeding. In addition, all claims, disputes, or causes of action under this section, whether by you or the Company, must be brought in an individual capacity, and shall not be
brought as a plaintiff (or claimant) or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding,
nor joined or consolidated with the claims of any other person or entity. The Arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one person or entity, and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.
The Company acknowledges that you will have the right to be represented by legal counsel at any arbitration proceeding. The Arbitrator shall: (a) have the authority to compel adequate discovery for the resolution of the dispute and to award such relief as would otherwise be permitted by law; (b) issue a written arbitration decision, to include the arbitrator’s essential findings and conclusions and a statement of the award; and (c) be authorized to award any or all remedies that you or the Company would be entitled to seek in a court of law. The Company shall pay all JAMS’ arbitration fees in excess of the amount of court fees that would be required of you if the dispute were decided in a court of law.
Nothing in this Agreement is intended to prevent either you or the Company from obtaining injunctive relief in court to prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion of any such arbitration. Any awards or orders in such arbitrations may be entered and enforced as judgments in the federal and state courts of any competent jurisdiction.
We are all delighted to be able to extend you this offer and look forward to working with you. To indicate your acceptance of the Company’s offer, please sign and date this letter in the space provided below and return it to me, along with a signed and dated copy of the Confidentiality Agreement.

BENEFITS
termination, compensation, benefits and stock options and any other documentation received as a stockholder of the Company.
(b) | Termination and/or Recoupment of Benefits. |
A Participant’s right to receive benefits under the Plan will terminate immediately if, at any time prior to or during the period for which the Participant is receiving benefits under the Plan, the Participant, without the prior written approval of the Plan Administrator, (1) willfully breaches a material provision of the Confidentiality Agreement and/or any obligations of confidentiality, non- solicitation, non-disparagement, no conflicts or non-competition set forth in the Participant’s employment agreement, offer letter or under applicable law; (2) encourages or solicits any of the Company’s then current employees to leave the Company’s employ for any reason or interferes in any other manner with employment relationships at the time existing between the Company and its then current employees; or (3) induces any of the Company’s then current clients, customers, suppliers, vendors, distributors, licensors, licensees, or other third party to terminate their existing business relationship with the Company or interferes in any other adverse manner with any existing business relationship between the Company and any then current client, customer, supplier, vendor, distributor, licensor, licensee, or other third party. Further, during the period for which the Participant is receiving benefits under the Plan, the Participant agrees to voluntarily cooperate with the Company by making himself or herself reasonably available without further compensation to assist with any threatened or pending litigation against the Company and any pending patent applications and if a Participant fails to do so, his or her benefits under the Plan will terminate immediately.
(A) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, or (B) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount (clause (A) or (B)), after taking into account all applicable federal, state, provincial, foreign, and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in the Participant’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest economic benefit notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, reduction will occur in the following order: (1) reduction of cash payments; (2) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards other than stock options; (3) cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock options; and (4) reduction of other benefits paid to the Participant. Within any such category of Payments (that is, clause (1), (2), (3) or (4)), a reduction will occur first with respect to amounts that are not “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and then with respect to amounts that are.

If any of the payments upon a Separation from Service provided under the Plan (or under any other arrangement with the Participant) constitute “deferred compensation” under Section 409A and if the Participant is a “specified employee” of the Company, as such term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), at the time of the Participant’s Separation from Service, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid the incurrence of the adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the timing of the payments upon a Separation from Service will be delayed as follows: on the earlier to occur of (i) the date that is six months and one day after the effective date of the Participant’s Separation from Service, and (ii) the date of the Participant’s death (such earlier date, the “Delayed Initial Payment Date”), the Company will (A) pay to the Participant a lump sum amount equal to the sum of the payments upon Separation from Service that the Participant would otherwise have received through the Delayed Initial Payment Date if the commencement of the payments had not been delayed pursuant to this paragraph, and (B) commence paying the balance of the payments in accordance with the applicable payment schedules set forth above. No interest will be due on any amounts so deferred.
(b) | “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. |
(c) | “Common Stock” means the common stock of the Company. |
(1) | the specific reason or reasons for the denial; |
(2) | references to the specific Plan provisions upon which the denial is; |
(3) | a description of any additional information or material that the Plan; Administrator needs to complete the review and an explanation of why such information or material is necessary; and |
(4) | an explanation of the Plan’s review procedures and the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the applicant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following a denial on review of the claim, as described in |

The telephone number for the Plan Sponsor and Plan Administrator is ###-###-####. The Plan Administrator is the named fiduciary charged with the responsibility for administering the Plan.
Participants in the Plan (which is a welfare benefit plan sponsored by the Company) are entitled to certain rights and protections under ERISA. Participants in the Plan are considered participants in the Plan for the purposes of this paragraph and, under ERISA, such Participants are entitled to:
Receive Information About Your Plan and Benefits
Prudent Actions By Plan Fiduciaries
In addition to creating rights for Plan participants, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible for the operation of the employee benefit plan. The people who operate the Plan, called “fiduciaries” of the Plan, have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of Participants and other Plan Participants and beneficiaries. No one, including the Participant’s employer, union or any other person, may fire a Participant or otherwise discriminate against a Participant in any
way to prevent a Participant from obtaining a Plan benefit or exercising a Participant’s rights under ERISA.
Enforcement of Participant Rights
If a Participant’s claim for a Plan benefit is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, the Participant has a right to know why this was done, to obtain copies of documents relating to the decision without charge, and to appeal any denial, all within certain time schedules.
Under ERISA, there are steps a Participant can take to enforce the above rights. For instance, if the Participant requests a copy of Plan documents or the latest annual report from the Plan, if applicable, and does not receive them within 30 days, the Participant may file suit in a federal court. In such a case, the court may require the Plan Administrator to provide the materials and pay the Participant up to $110 a day until you receive the materials, unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the Plan Administrator.
If a Participant has a claim for benefits that is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, the Participant may file suit in a state or federal court.
If a Participant is discriminated against for asserting the Participant’s rights, the Participant may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor, or the Participant may file suit in a federal court. The court will decide who should pay court costs and legal fees. If the Participant is successful, the court may order the person the Participant has sued to pay these costs and fees. If the Participant loses, the court may order the Participant to pay these costs and fees, for example, if it finds the Participant’s claim is frivolous.
Assistance With Participant Questions
If a Participant has any questions about the Plan, the Participant should contact the Plan Administrator. If the Participant have any questions about this statement or about the Participant’s rights under ERISA, or if the Participant needs assistance in obtaining documents from the Plan Administrator, the Participant should contact the nearest office of the Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, listed in the Participant’s telephone directory or the Division of Technical Assistance and Inquiries, Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210. A Participant may also obtain certain publications about the Participant’s rights and responsibilities under ERISA by calling the publications hotline of the Employee Benefits Security Administration.
Participant as previously furnished by the Participant or such other address as a party may request by notifying the other in writing.

In giving the releases set forth in this Release, which include claims which may be unknown or unsuspected by me at present, I acknowledge that I have read and understand Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which reads as follows: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.” I hereby expressly waive and relinquish all rights and benefits under that section and any law or legal principle of similar effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the releases granted herein, including but not limited to the release of unknown and unsuspected claims granted in this Release.
I hereby represent and warrant that: (a) I have been paid all compensation owed and for all time worked; (b) I have received all the leave and leave benefits and protections for which I am eligible pursuant to FMLA, CFRA, the Company’s policies, or applicable law; and (c) I have not suffered any on-the-job injury or illness for which I have not already filed a workers’ compensation claim.
I acknowledge that to become effective, I must sign and return this Release to the Company so that it is received not later than 14 days following the date it is provided to me.
