EXHIBIT A
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT
1.Grant. The Company hereby grants to the individual named in the Notice of Grant (“Participant”) under the Plan, an Award of Restricted Stock Units (the “Award”), subject to all of the terms and conditions in this Award Agreement, including the Notice of Grant, these Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock Unit Grant and the Country-Specific Terms and Conditions (the “Appendix”) and the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. Subject to Section 19(c) of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan will prevail.
2.Company’s Obligation to Pay. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive a Share on the date it vests. Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units will have vested in the manner set forth in Sections 3 or 4 of this Award Agreement, Participant will have no right to payment of any such Restricted Stock Units. Prior to the actual payment of any vested Restricted Stock Units, such Restricted Stock Units will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company. Any Restricted Stock Units that vest in accordance with Sections 3 or 4 of this Award Agreement will be paid to Participant (or in the event of Participant’s death, to his or her estate) in whole Shares, subject to Participant satisfying any Tax-Related Items as set forth in Section 8 of this Award Agreement. Subject to the provisions of Section 4 of this Award Agreement, such vested Restricted Stock Units shall be paid in whole Shares as soon as practicable after vesting, but in each such case within the period of sixty (60) days following the vesting date. In no event will Participant be permitted, directly or indirectly, to specify the taxable year of the payment of any Restricted Stock Units payable under this Award Agreement.
3.Vesting Schedule. Except as provided in Section 4 of this Award Agreement, and subject to Section 5 of this Award Agreement, the Restricted Stock Units awarded by this Award Agreement will vest in accordance with the vesting provisions set forth in the Notice of Grant. Restricted Stock Units scheduled to vest on a certain date or upon the occurrence of a certain condition will not vest in accordance with any of the provisions of this Award Agreement unless Participant will have been continuously a Service Provider from the Date of Grant until the date such vesting occurs.
4.Administrator Discretion. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the unvested Restricted Stock Units at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. If so accelerated, such Restricted Stock Units will be considered as having vested as of the date specified by the Administrator. For U.S. taxpayers, the payment of Shares vesting pursuant to this Section 4 shall in all cases be paid at a time or in a manner that is exempt from, or complies with, Section 409A.



Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Award Agreement to the contrary, if the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Restricted Stock Units is accelerated in connection with Participant’s termination as a Service Provider (provided that such termination is a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A, as determined by the Company), other than due to death, and if (x) Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of such termination as a Service Provider and (y) the payment of such accelerated Restricted Stock Units will result in the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A if paid to Participant on or within the six (6) month period following Participant’s termination as a Service Provider, then the payment of such accelerated Restricted Stock Units will not be made until the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Participant’s termination as a Service Provider, unless Participant dies following his or her termination as a Service Provider, in which case, the Restricted Stock Units will be paid in Shares to Participant’s estate as soon as practicable following his or her death. It is the intent of this Award Agreement that it and all payments and benefits hereunder be exempt from, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the Restricted Stock Units provided under this Award Agreement or Shares issuable thereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to be so exempt or so comply. Each payment payable under this Award Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2). For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Section 409A” means Section 409A of the Code, and any final U.S. Treasury Regulations and U.S. Internal Revenue Service guidance thereunder, as each may be amended from time to time.
5.Forfeiture upon Termination of Status as a Service Provider. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Award Agreement, the balance of the Restricted Stock Units that have not vested as of the time of Participant’s termination as a Service Provider for any or no reason and Participant’s right to acquire any Shares hereunder will immediately terminate.
6.Death of Participant. Any distribution or delivery to be made to Participant under this Award Agreement will, if Participant is then deceased, be made to Participant’s designated beneficiary, if so allowed by the Administrator in its sole discretion, or if no beneficiary survives Participant, the administrator or executor of Participant’s estate. 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 pertaining to said transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Participant is employed outside the United States, Participant is not permitted to designate a beneficiary under this Award Agreement.
7.Forfeiture. This Award may be forfeited for cause (for purposes of example only, violations of confidentiality or failure to comply with other Service Provider conduct terms and conditions).
8.Responsibility for Taxes.
(a)    Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, Participant’s employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. Further, notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Award Agreement, no Shares will be issued to Participant, unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Administrator) will have been made by Participant with respect to the payment of any Tax-Related Items which the Company determines must be withheld with respect to such Shares. Prior to vesting and/or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, Participant will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.



(b)    In this regard, Participant authorizes and directs the Company and any brokerage firm or transfer agent determined acceptable to the Company to automatically sell on Participant’s behalf a whole number of Shares from those Shares issued to Participant upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units as the Company determines to be appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items, with the sale proceeds paid to the Company or the Employer for remittance to the appropriate taxing authorities. It is the Company’s intent that the mandatory sale of Shares to cover withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items imposed by the Company pursuant to this Section 8(b) comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) under the Exchange Act and be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c). For purposes of the foregoing, Participant acknowledges that Participant is not aware of any material, nonpublic information regarding the Company or any securities of the Company as of the Date of Grant stated in the Notice of Grant; provided that if Participant is in possession of such material nonpublic information as of the Date of Grant, then the mandatory sale of Shares pursuant to this Section 8(b) shall become a binding contract as of the first date thereafter on which Participant is not in possession of material nonpublic information and as of the date any sales are effected pursuant to this Section 8(b), Participant will not effect such sales on the basis of material nonpublic information regarding the Company or any securities of the Company of which Participant was aware at the Date of Grant.
(c)    If the automatic sale of Shares provided for under Section 8(b) is prohibited by a legal, contractual or regulatory restriction applicable to Participant or to the broker or transfer agent effecting the sale, or is prevented by a market disruption or similar issue, or if the Tax-Related Items withholding obligation arises at a time other than the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or at a time when the Shares are not publicly traded, then the withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items may be satisfied in one or more of the following manners, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, if permissible under applicable local law, the Administrator, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit or require Participant to satisfy such Tax-Related Items, in whole or in part (without limitation) (i) by paying cash, (ii) by electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable Shares having a fair market value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld, (iii) by delivering to the Company already vested and owned Shares having a fair market value equal to the amount required to be withheld, or (iv) by the Company and/or the Employer withholding Tax-Related Items from Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Participant by the Company and/or the Employer.
(d)    The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case Participant will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Common Stock equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
(e)    Participant hereby agrees that the Company does not have a duty to design or administer the Plan or Participant’s Restricted Stock Units in a manner that minimizes Participant’s liabilities for Tax-Related Items and that the Company and the Employer make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of Participant’s Restricted Stock Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement or the receipt of any dividends and/or dividend equivalents. In addition, if Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.



9.Nature of Grant. In accepting the award, Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that:
(a)the Award of Restricted Stock Units is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been awarded in the past;
(b)all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Units or other awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(c)the Award of Restricted Stock Units and Participant’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming an employment or service relationship and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company and/or the Employer to terminate Participant’s status as a Service Provider, if any;
(d)Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;
(e)the Award of Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income from and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;
(f)the Award of Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income from and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments;
(g)the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(h)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from the forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units resulting from the termination of Participant as a Service Provider (for any reason whatsoever whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment or other laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or otherwise rendering services, or the terms of Participant’s employment or service agreement, if any), and in consideration of the award of the Restricted Stock Units to which Participant is otherwise not entitled, Participant agrees not to institute any claim against the Company or the Employer;
(i)unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income from and value of same, are not granted in consideration for, or in connection with the service Participant may provide as a director of a Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company; and
(j)neither the Company, the Employer nor any Parent or Subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Participant’s local currency and the U.S. Dollar that may affect the value of the Restricted Stock Units or any amounts due to Participant pursuant to the settlement of the Award of Restricted Stock Units or the subsequent sale of sale of Shares acquired upon settlement.
10.Data Privacy Information and Consent



(a)Data Collection and Usage. The Company and the Employer may collect, process and use certain personal information about Participant, including, but not limited to, Participant’s name, home address, email address, telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all Restricted Stock Units or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor (“Data”), for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The legal basis, where required, for the processing of Data is the Participant’s consent.
(b)Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. The Company may transfer Data to third parties which assist the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Company may select different service providers or additional service providers and share Data with such other provider serving in a similar manner. Participant may be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, with such agreement being a condition to the ability to participate in the Plan.
(c)International Data Transfers. The Company and some of its service providers are based in the United States. Participant’s country or jurisdiction may have different data privacy laws and protections than the United States. For example, the European Commission has issued a limited adequacy finding with respect to the United States that applies only to the extent companies register for the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield program, which is open to companies subject to Federal Trade Commission jurisdiction and which the Company does participate in with respect to employee data. The Company’s legal basis, where required, for the transfer of Data is the Participant’s consent.
(d)Data Retention. The Company will hold and use the Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Participant’s participation in the Plan, or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and security laws.
(e)Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. Participation in the Plan is voluntary and Participant is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If Participant does not consent, or if Participant later seeks to revoke his or her consent, Participant’s salary from or service with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be able to grant Restricted Stock Units or other equity awards to Participant or administer or maintain such awards.
(f)Data Subject Rights. Participant may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in Participant’s jurisdiction. Depending on where Participant is based, such rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of Data the Company processes, (ii) rectify incorrect Data, (iii) delete Data, (iv) restrict processing of Data, (v) transport Data, (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in Participant’s jurisdiction, and/or (vii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data. To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, Participant can contact his or her local human resources representative.




By accepting the Restricted Stock Units and indicating consent via the Company’s acceptance procedure, Participant is declaring that he or she agrees with the data processing practices described herein and consents to the collection, processing and use of Data by the Company and the transfer of Data to the recipients mentioned above, including recipients located in countries which do not have an adequate level of protection from a European (or other non-U.S.) data protection law perspective, for the purposes described above.
11.Rights as Stockholder. Neither Participant nor any person claiming under or through Participant will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares will have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to Participant. After such issuance, recordation and delivery, Participant will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to voting such Shares and the receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares.
12.No Guarantee of Continued Service. PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF THE RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY OR THE EMPLOYER, AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS AWARD OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER. PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AWARD AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND WILL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH PARTICIPANT’S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY OR THE EMPLOYER TO TERMINATE PARTICIPANT’S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.
13.Address for Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Award Agreement will be addressed to the Company at Rimini Street, Inc., 3993 Howard Hughes Parkway, Suite 500, Las Vegas, NV USA 89169 or at such other address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing.
14.Grant is Not Transferable. Except to the limited extent provided in Section 6, this grant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and may not be subject to sale under execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this grant, or any right or privilege conferred hereby, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar process, this grant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby immediately will become null and void.
15.Binding Agreement. Subject to the limitation on the transferability of this grant contained herein, this Award Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.



16.Additional Conditions to Issuance of Shares. If at any time the Company will determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration, qualification or rule compliance of the Shares upon any securities exchange or under any state, federal or foreign law, the tax code and related regulations or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory authority is necessary or desirable as a condition to the issuance of Shares to Participant (or his or her estate) hereunder, such issuance will not occur unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, rule compliance, consent or approval will have been completed, effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. Where the Company determines that the delivery of the payment of any Shares will violate any state, federal or foreign securities or exchange laws or other applicable laws, the Company will defer delivery until the earliest date at which the Company reasonably anticipates that the delivery of Shares will no longer cause such violation. The Company has sole discretion in its efforts to meet the requirements of any such local, state, federal or foreign law or securities exchange and to obtain any such consent or approval of any such governmental authority or securities exchange.
17.Administrator Authority. The Administrator will have the power to interpret the Plan and this Award Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules (including, but not limited to, the determination of whether or not any Restricted Stock Units have vested). All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith will be final and binding upon Participant, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Administrator will be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Award Agreement.
18.Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to Restricted Stock Units awarded under the Plan or future Restricted Stock Units that may be awarded under the Plan by electronic means or request Participant’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through any on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.
19.Captions. Captions provided herein are for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Award Agreement.
20.Agreement Severable. In the event that any provision in this Award Agreement will be held invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Award Agreement.
21.No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan, or Participant’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. Participant is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.
22.Modifications to the Award Agreement. This Award Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties on the subjects covered. Participant expressly warrants that he or she is not accepting this Award Agreement in reliance on any promises, representations, or inducements other than those contained herein. Modifications to this Award Agreement or the Plan can be made only in an express written contract executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Award Agreement, the Company reserves the right to revise this Award Agreement as it deems necessary or advisable for any legal or administrative reasons, in its sole discretion and without the consent of Participant, including but not limited to the compliance with Section 409A.



23.Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan. By accepting this award, Participant expressly warrants that he or she has received an Award of Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, and has received, read and understood a description of the Plan. Participant understands that the Plan is discretionary in nature, established voluntarily by the Company and may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan.
24.Governing Law and Venue. This Award Agreement will be governed by the laws of California, without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises under this Award of Restricted Stock Units or this Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the State of California, and agree that such litigation will be conducted in the courts of Alameda County, California, or the federal courts for the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, and no other courts, where the Award of Restricted Stock Units is made and/or to be performed.
25.Language. If Participant has received this Award Agreement, or any other document related to this Award of Restricted Stock Units and/or the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.
26.Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. Participant acknowledges that, depending on Participant’s country, Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect his or her ability to acquire or sell the Shares or rights to the Shares under the Plan during such times as Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in Participant’s country). 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. Participant acknowledges that it is Participant’s responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and Participant is advised to speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.
27.Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Requirements. Participant acknowledges that there may be certain foreign asset and/or account reporting requirements which may affect Participant’s ability to acquire or hold Shares acquired under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends paid on Shares acquired under the Plan) in a brokerage or bank account outside Participant’s country. Participant may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in his or her country. Participant may also be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of participating in the Plan to Participant’s country through a designated bank or broker within a certain time after receipt. Participant acknowledges that it is her or her responsibility to be compliant with such regulations, and Participant should speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.
28.Country-Specific Terms and Conditions. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Award Agreement, this Award of Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the country-specific terms and conditions for Participant’s country set forth in the Appendix attached to this Award Agreement as Exhibit B. Moreover, if Participant relocates to one of the countries included therein, the terms and conditions for such country will apply to Participant to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. The Appendix constitutes part of this Award Agreement.
29.Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the Award of Restricted Stock Units and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.



30.Waiver. Participant acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Award Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Award Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by Participant or any other participant.

This Appendix contains additional terms and conditions that shall be applicable to the Award of Restricted Stock Units granted to Participant if he or she is an employee and resides and/or works in one of the countries listed below.

In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to Participant’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure Participant of a particular result. Accordingly, Participant should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to Participant’s situation.
Finally, if Participant is a citizen or resident (or is considered as such for local law purposes) of a country other than the country in which Participant is currently residing and/or working, or if Participant relocates to another country after the award of the Restricted Stock Units, the notifications contained herein may not be applicable to Participant in the same manner.

Securities Law Information. Participant is permitted to sell Shares acquired under the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, if any, provided that the sale of Shares takes place outside Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the Shares are listed.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Canadian residents are required to report to the tax authorities any specified foreign property held outside of Canada (including Restricted Stock Units and Shares acquired under the Plan) annually on form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of the specified foreign property exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year. Thus, if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded by other specified foreign property held by Participant, the Restricted Stock Units must be reported (generally at a nil cost). For purposes of such reporting, Shares acquired under the Plan may be reported at their adjusted cost base. The adjusted cost basis of a Share is generally equal to the fair market value of such Share at the time of acquisition; however, if Participant owns other Shares (e.g., acquired under other circumstances or at another time), the adjusted cost basis may have to be averaged with the adjusted cost basis of other Shares. Participant should consult his or her personal legal advisor to ensure compliance with applicable reporting obligations.
CHINA
Terms and Conditions
The following terms and conditions apply only to Participant if Participant is subject to the exchange control restrictions and regulations in China, including the requirements imposed by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”), as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.



Immediate Sale Restriction. Due to exchange control laws in the People’s Republic of China, Participant understands and agrees that the Company may require that any Shares acquired upon the vesting and settlement of the Restricted Stock Units be immediately sold. If the Company, in its discretion, does not exercise its right to require the automatic sale of Shares issuable upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, as described in the preceding sentence, Participant understands and agrees that any Shares acquired by Participant under the Plan must be sold no later than six (6) months after Participant’s termination as a Service Provider, or within any other such time frame as permitted by the Company or required by the China SAFE. Participant understands that any Shares acquired by Participant under the Plan that have not been sold within six (6) months of Participant’s termination as a Service Provider will be automatically sold by a designated broker at the Company’s discretion, pursuant to this authorization by Participant.
Participant agrees that the Company is authorized to instruct the designated broker to assist with the mandatory sale of such Shares (on Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization), and Participant expressly authorizes the designated broker to complete the sale of such Shares. Participant also agrees to sign any agreements, forms and/or consents that may be reasonably requested by Company (or the designated broker) to effectuate the sale of the Shares (including, without limitation, as to the transfers of the proceeds and other exchange control matters noted below) and shall otherwise cooperate with the Company with respect to such matters, provided that Participant shall not be permitted to exercise any influence over how, when or whether the sales occur. Participant acknowledges that the designated broker is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of the Shares at any particular price. Due to fluctuations in the Share price and/or applicable exchange rates between vesting and (if later) the date on which the Shares are sold, the amount of proceeds ultimately distributed to Participant may be more or less than the market value of the Shares upon vesting (which is the amount relevant to determining Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items). Participant understands and agrees that the Company is not responsible for the amount of any loss Participant may incur and the Company assumes no liability for any fluctuations in the Share price and/or any applicable exchange rate.
Upon the sale of Shares, the Company agrees to pay the cash proceeds from the sale (less any Tax-Related Items, brokerage fees or commissions) to Participant in accordance with the applicable exchange control laws and regulations including but not limited to, the restrictions set forth in this Appendix for China below under “Exchange Control Requirements.”



Exchange Control Requirements. By accepting this Award of Restricted Stock Units, Participant understands and agrees that, pursuant to local exchange control requirements, Participant will be required to repatriate the cash proceeds from the immediate sale of the Shares to China. Participant further understands that, under local law, such repatriation of cash proceeds may need to be effectuated through a special exchange control account established by the Company and/or its Chinese Subsidiary, and Participant hereby consents and agrees that any proceeds from the sale of any Shares Participant acquires may be transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to Participant. Participant further agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China. The proceeds may be paid to Participant in U.S. dollars or in local currency, at the Company’s discretion. If the proceeds are paid in U.S. dollars, Participant understands and agrees that he or she will be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in China (if Participant does not already have one) so that the proceeds may be deposited into this account. If the proceeds are paid in local currency, Participant further understands and agrees that the Company or its Chinese Subsidiary is under no obligation to secure any particular exchange conversion rate and there may be delays in converting the cash proceeds to local currency due to exchange control restrictions. Participant agrees to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time the cash proceeds are received and the time the cash proceeds are distributed to Participant through the special account described above. Participant further agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future to facilitate compliance with China exchange control requirements.

Securities Law Information. WARNING: This is an offer of Restricted Stock Units over Shares which, once vested and settled in accordance with the terms of the Award Agreement and the Plan, will give Participant a stake in the ownership of the Company. Participant may receive a return if dividends are paid. If the Company runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, Participant will only be paid after all creditors have been paid.

Participant will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment. Ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing to the Restricted Stock Units.
The Shares are quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market. This means Participant may be able to sell his or her Shares on the Nasdaq if there are interested buyers. Participant may get less than he or she invested. The price will depend on the demand for the Shares.
For information on risk factors impacting the Company’s business that may affect the value of the Shares, Participant should refer to the risk factors discussion in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and are available online at www.sec.gov, as well as on the Company’s “Investor Relations” website at https://investors.riministreet.com/.

You are eligible to participate under the Plan if, at the time of the offer, you are a Service Provider and meet the eligibility requirements established under the Plan.
6.    WHAT ARE THE MATERIAL TERMS OF THE RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS?
(a)    What are Restricted Stock Units?
The Restricted Stock Units represent the right to receive a corresponding number of Shares upon fulfilment of the vesting conditions set out in your Award Agreement. The Restricted Stock Units are considered “restricted” because they will be subject to forfeiture and restrictions on transfer until they vest. The restrictions are set forth in the Award Agreement.
(b)    Do I have to pay any money to receive the Restricted Stock Units?
You pay no monetary consideration to receive the Restricted Stock Units nor do you pay any price to receive the Shares upon vesting.
(c)    How many Shares will I receive upon vesting of my Restricted Stock Units?
The details of your Restricted Stock Units and the number of Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units are set out in the Award Agreement.
(d)    When do I become a stockholder?
    You are not a stockholder merely as a result of holding Restricted Stock Units. The Restricted Stock Units will not entitle you to vote or receive dividends, notices of shareholder meetings, proxy statements or other materials provided to stockholders until the restrictions lapse, at which time the Restricted Stock Units will vest and will be settled in Shares. You are not considered an owner of the Shares unless and until the Shares are issued to you upon vesting.
(e)        Can I transfer the Restricted Stock Units to someone else?
The Restricted Stock Units are non-transferable; however, once Shares are issued upon vesting, the Shares will be freely tradeable (subject to Company policies and applicable laws regarding insider trading).
7.    WHAT IS A SHARE OF COMMON STOCK IN THE COMPANY?
Common stock of a U.S. corporation is analogous to an ordinary share of an Australian corporation. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for every Share held in the Company.
The Shares are traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) in the United States of America (“U.S.”) and are traded under the symbol “RMNI.”



Shares are not liable to any further calls for payment of capital or for other assessment by the Company and have no sinking fund provisions, pre-emptive rights, conversion rights or redemption provisions.
8.    HOW CAN I OBTAIN UPDATED INDICATIVE EXAMPLES OF THE CURRENT MARKET PRICE IN AUSTRALIAN DOLLARS?
You may ascertain the current market price of the Shares traded on the NASDAQ at http://www.nasdaq.com under the code “RMNI.” The Australian dollar equivalent of that price can be obtained at http://www.rba.gov.au/statistics/frequency/exchange-rates.html.
9.    WHAT ADDITIONAL RISK FACTORS APPLY TO AUSTRALIAN RESIDENTS' PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN?
Australian Participants should have regard to risk factors relevant to investment in securities generally and, in particular, to the holding of Shares.
For example, the price at which the Shares are quoted on the NASDAQ may increase or decrease due to a number of factors. There is no guarantee that the price of the Shares will increase. Factors which may affect the price of the Shares include fluctuations in the domestic and international market for listed stocks, general economic conditions, including interest rates, inflation rates, commodity and oil prices, changes to government fiscal, monetary or regulatory policies, legislation or regulation, the nature of the markets in which the Company operates and general operational and business risks.
More information about potential factors that could affect the Company’s business and financial results is included in the Company’s most recent annual report which is available upon request.
In addition, you should be aware that in addition to fluctuations in the Share price, the value of any Shares issued pursuant to the Restricted Stock Units will be affected by the U.S./Australian dollar exchange rate. Participation in the Plan involves certain risks related to fluctuations in these rates of exchange.
10.    PLAN MODIFICATION, TERMINATION ETC.
The Administrator may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.
11.    WHAT ARE THE AUSTRALIAN TAXATION CONSEQUENCES OF PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN?
Please refer to the description of the tax consequences of participation in the Plan contained in the Australian Employee Information Supplement.
12.    WHAT ARE THE U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN?
Australian residents (who are not U.S. citizens or U.S. tax residents) will not be subject to U.S. tax by reason only of the grant and vesting of the Restricted Stock Units or the sale of Shares. However, liability for U.S. taxes may accrue if an Australian resident is otherwise subject to U.S. taxes.



The above is an indication only of the likely U.S. taxation consequences for Australian residents awarded Restricted Stock Units under the Plan. Australian residents should seek their own advice as to the U.S. taxation consequences of Plan participation.

These tax ramifications shall apply to, and shall be borne solely by, such Eligible 102 Participant.
d.Each 102 Trustee Grant (whether a 102 Capital Gains Track Grant or a 102 Ordinary Income Track Grant, as applicable) shall be subject to the relevant terms of Section 102 and the ITO, which shall be deemed an integral part of the 102 Trustee Grant, and shall prevail over any term contained in the Plan, this SubPlan or any agreement that is not consistent therewith with respect to such 102 Trustee Grant.

f.The Trustee and the Eligible 102 Participant granted a 102 Trustee Grant shall comply with the ITO. For the avoidance of doubt, it is reiterated that compliance with the ITO specifically includes compliance with the Rules.

If the Awards and/or the Shares issued pursuant to the Awards are transferred by will or by the laws or descent and distribution, Section 102 and its regulations, including the Rules, will apply to the heirs or the transferees of the Eligible 102 Participant.



i.Before releasing or selling the Awards and/or Shares subject to the Awards, the Trustee will receive a written confirmation from the relevant Employer that all requirements for such release and transfer have been fulfilled according to the terms of the Plan, any applicable agreement and any Applicable Laws and Section 102.
j.In the event that the Trustee shall hold Shares in trust, it shall not be required with respect to such Shares to participate in any stockholder meetings of the Company and/or to represent the beneficiaries of such Shares as stockholders in the Company. The Trustee will provide a proxy to the person or persons designated by the Administrator.
k.For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan: (1) no Award granted as a 102 Trustee Grant may be settled for cash payment or any other form of consideration, unless and to the extent permitted under Section 102 or as expressly authorized by the ITA; (2) no Option qualifying as a Section 102 Trustee Grant shall be exercisable by the surrender of Shares or withholding of otherwise deliverable Shares, and withholding tax obligations will not be satisfied with respect to an Award and/or the Shares by withholding Shares otherwise deliverable upon grant, exercise or vesting of the Award, as applicable, unless and to the extent permitted under Section 102 or as expressly authorized by the ITA; and (3) the grant of Performance Shares or Performance Units under Section 102 and the implementation of an Exchange Program are subject to confirmation by the ITA.
4.Assignability
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Sub-Plan, as long as Awards or Shares are held by the Trustee on behalf of the Eligible 102 Participant, all rights of the Eligible 102 Participant over the Awards and/or the Shares are personal and cannot be transferred, assigned, pledged or mortgaged, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
5.Tax Consequences
a.Any tax consequences arising from the grant, vesting, exercise or Realization of any Awards, or from the issuance of Shares covered thereby, or from any other event or act of the Company, any Employer, the Trustee, and/or the Eligible 102 Participant, shall be borne solely by the Eligible 102 Participant. The Company, Employer, and/or the Trustee shall withhold taxes according to the requirements under Applicable Laws, Section 102, the Rules, regulations and any tax ruling issued by the ITA with respect to such Awards and Shares.
b.Furthermore, the Eligible 102 Participant shall agree to indemnify the Company, any Employer, and/or the Trustee and hold them harmless against and from any and all liability for any such tax or interest or penalty thereon, including, without any limitation, liabilities relating to the necessity to withhold or to have withheld any such tax from any payment made to the Eligible 102 Participant.



c.The Company, any Employer, and/or the Trustee may make such provisions and take such steps as they may deem necessary or appropriate to meet mandatory withholding requirements required by Applicable Laws and Section 102 with respect to Awards and/or the Shares and the grant, vesting, exercise and/or Realization or other disposition thereof, including (but not limited to) (i) deducting the amount so required to be withheld from the Eligible 102 Participant’s salary or other amounts payable to the Eligible 102 Participant, to the maximum extent permitted under law, (ii) requiring the Eligible 102 Participant to pay to the Company or any Employer the amount so required to be withheld as a condition of the issuance, delivery, distribution or release of the Awards or any Shares subject to Awards, and/or (iii) by agreeing to the exercise of Options and/or sale of Shares, whether or not held by the Trustee, to cover such liability. In addition, the Eligible 102 Participant will be required to pay any amount that exceeds the tax to be withheld and transferred to the ITA, pursuant to Section 102, Applicable Laws, regulations, rules with respect to such Awards and Shares.
d.The Company, any Employer and/or the Trustee shall not be required to release any Awards and/or Shares to the Eligible 102 Participant until all required tax withholding has been performed.
e.For the avoidance of doubt, the Company makes no representation or assurance that all of the Awards granted as Section 102 Awards shall be eligible for the tax benefits pursuant to Section 102. Therefore, any tax consequences arising from the grant, vesting, exercise or Realization of any Awards, from the issuance of Shares covered thereby, or from any other event or act (of the Company, any Employer, the Trustee, and/or the Eligible 102 Participant), shall be borne solely by the Eligible 102 Participant.
f.Following the grant of Awards under this Sub-Plan and in any case in which the Eligible 102 Participant ceases to be considered an “Israeli Resident” as this term is defined in the ITO, the Company, any Employer, and/or the Trustee may, if and to the extent the ITO and/or the rules promulgated thereunder shall impose such obligation on them, withhold all applicable taxes from the Eligible 102 Participant, remit the amount withheld to the ITA, and report to such Eligible 102 Participant the amount so withheld and paid to the ITA.
g.With respect to Non-Trustee Grants, if the Eligible 102 Participant ceases to be employed by the Employer, or if otherwise requested by the Company or the Employer, the Eligible 102 Participant shall extend to the Company and/or to the Employer a security or guarantee for the payment of tax due on the date of Realization, and shall be required to pay to the Employer any tax due on the date of Realization to the satisfaction of the Company, all in accordance with the provisions of Section 102 of the ITO and the Rules.
h.Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Sub-Plan shall be governed by the provisions of the ITO, the rules promulgated thereunder, and any other Applicable Laws.
i.This Sub-Plan shall be deemed to be part of the Plan and the Administrator shall have the authority to amend this Sub-Plan in accordance with the Plan.
6.Governing Law and Jurisdiction



Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, with respect to Eligible 102 Participants subject to this Sub-Plan, 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 applicable to contracts made and to be performed therein.
