Subject to Applicable Laws, the consideration to be paid for the Common Units to be issued upon exercise or purchase of an Option including the method of payment, shall be determined by the Administrator.

(i)cash;
(ii)check;
(iii)surrender of Common Units held for the requisite period, if any, necessary to avoid a charge to the Company’s earnings for financial reporting purposes or delivery of a properly executed form of attestation of ownership of Common Units as the Administrator may require which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender or attestation equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Common Units as to which said Option shall be exercised;
(iv)with respect to Options, if the exercise occurs on or after the Registration Date, payment through a broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the Grantee (A) shall provide written instructions to a Company designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of some or all of the purchased Shares and remit to the Company sufficient funds to cover the aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased Shares and (B) shall provide written directives to the Company to deliver the certificates for the purchased Shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale transaction; or
(v)any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.
The Administrator may at any time or from time to time, by adoption of or by amendment to the standard forms of Award Agreement described in Section 4(c)(iv), or by other means, grant Options which do not permit all of the foregoing forms of consideration to be used in payment for the Shares or which otherwise restrict one or more forms of consideration.
8.Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Member.
(a)Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator under the terms of the Plan and specified in the Award Agreement.


10
(b)An Option shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of such exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Option by the person entitled to exercise the Option and full payment for the Common Units with respect to which the Option is exercised has been made, including, to the extent selected, use of the broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure to pay the purchase price as provided in Section 7(b)(iv).
(c)Notwithstanding anything in the Award Agreement to the contrary, if the exercise of an Option is prevented by the provisions of Section 12 below, the Option shall remain exercisable until one (1) month after the date the Grantee is notified by the Company that the Option is exercisable, but in any event no later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement and only in a manner and to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A.
9.Transferability of Awards. Awards shall be transferable by will, by the laws of descent and distribution, or to the extent and in the manner authorized by the Administrator.

10.Withholding Taxes. No Common Units shall be delivered under the Plan to any Grantee or other person until such Grantee or other person has made arrangements acceptable to the Administrator for the satisfaction of any non-U.S., federal, state, or local income and employment tax withholding obligations, including, without limitation, obligations incident to the receipt of Common Units. When, under applicable tax laws, a Grantee incurs tax liability in connection with the exercise or settlement of any Award that is subject to tax withholding the Company shall withhold or collect from the Grantee the minimum tax withholding obligation, including, but not limited to, by having the Company withhold from the Common Units to be issued up to the minimum number of Common Units having a Fair Market Value on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined that is not more than the minimum amount to be withheld (reduced to the lowest whole number of Common Units if such number of Common Units withheld would result in withholding a fractional Common Unit with any remaining tax withholding settled in cash). In no event will the Company withhold any Common Units if such withholding would result in adverse accounting consequences to the Company.
11.Restricted Equity Units.
(a)Awards of Restricted Equity Units. A Restricted Equity Unit (“REU”) is an Award covering a number of Common Units to be settled by issuance of those Common Units at a date in the future. No purchase price shall apply to an REU. All grants of Restricted Equity Units will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will be in such form (which need not be the same for each Grantee) as the Administrator will from time to time approve, and will comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan. No REU will have a term longer than ten (10) years from the date the REU is granted.
(b)Form and Timing of Settlement. To the extent permissible under applicable law, the Administrator may permit a Grantee to defer payment under a REU to a date or dates after the REU is earned, provided that the terms of the REU and any deferral satisfy the requirements of Code Section 409A (or any successor) and any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder. Payment will be made in the form of whole Common Units.
12.Conditions Upon Issuance of Common Units.
(a)Common Units shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option or the settlement of a REU unless those transactions and the issuance and delivery of such Common Units


11
pursuant thereto shall comply with all Applicable Laws, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. The Company shall have no obligation to effect any registration or qualification of the Common Units under federal or state laws.
(b)As a condition to the exercise of an Option or receipt of Common Units upon the settlement of a REU, the Company may require such Grantee to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise or settlement that the Common Units are being purchased or acquired only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Common Units if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any Applicable Laws.
(c)As a condition to the exercise of an Option or prior to the settlement of a REU, the Company may require such Grantee to execute and deliver a signature page to, and agree to comply with, the provisions of the LLC Agreement and to make such representations and warranties contained in the LLC Agreement that are required of Members of the Company.
13.Changes in Common Units. Subject to any required action by the Members of the Company, the number of Common Units covered by each outstanding Award, and the number of Common Units which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Awards have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan, the exercise or purchase price of each such outstanding Award (if applicable), as well as any other terms that the Management Committee determines require adjustment shall be proportionately adjusted for (i) any increase or decrease in the number of issued Common Units resulting from a Common Unit split, reverse Common Unit split, Common Unit distribution, combination or reclassification of the Common Units or similar event affecting the Common Units, (ii) any other increase or decrease in the number of issued Common Units effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, or (iii) as the Management Committee may determine in its discretion, any other transaction with respect to Common Units including a merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or Common Units, separation (including a spin-off or other distribution of Common Units or property), reorganization, liquidation (whether partial or complete) or any similar transaction; provided, however that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Management Committee and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as the Management Committee determines, no issuance by the Company of units of any class, or securities convertible into units of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason hereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Common Units subject to an Award.
14.Company Transactions.
(a)Termination of Award to Extent Not Assumed in Company Transaction. Effective upon the consummation of a Company Transaction, all outstanding Awards under the Plan shall terminate. However, all such Awards shall not terminate to the extent they are Assumed in connection with the Company Transaction.
(b)Acceleration of Award Upon Company Transaction. Except as provided otherwise in an individual Award Agreement, in the event of a Company Transaction:
(i)for the portion of each Award that is Assumed or Replaced, then such Award (if Assumed), the replacement Award (if Replaced), or subject to compliance with Code Section 409A, the cash incentive program (if Replaced) automatically shall become fully vested, exercisable and payable and be released from any repurchase or forfeiture rights (other than repurchase rights exercisable at Fair Market Value) as to fifty percent (50%) of the then unvested Common Units (or other consideration) represented by or subject to such Assumed or Replaced portion of the Award, immediately


12
upon termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service if such Continuous Service is terminated by the successor company or the Company without Cause or voluntarily by the Grantee with Good Reason on or within twelve (12) months after the Company Transaction; and
(ii)for the portion of each Award that is neither Assumed nor Replaced, such portion of the Award shall automatically become fully vested and exercisable and be released from any repurchase or forfeiture rights (other than repurchase rights exercisable at Fair Market Value) for all of the Common Units (or other consideration) at the time represented by such portion of the Award, immediately prior to the specified effective date of such Company Transaction, provided that the Grantee’s Continuous Service has not terminated prior to such date.
15.Effective Date and Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by the Management Committee. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless sooner terminated.
16.Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan.
(a)The Management Committee may at any time amend, suspend or terminate the Plan. To the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Laws, the Company shall obtain Member approval of any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as required.
(b)No Award may be granted during any suspension of the Plan or after termination of the Plan.
(c)No suspension or termination of the Plan (including termination of the Plan under Section 15, above) shall adversely affect any rights under Awards already granted to a Grantee.
(d)Upon the Incorporation, all references to the number of Common Units issued or issuable under the Plan shall be adjusted to reflect the conversion or exchange ratio in effect for the conversion or exchange of Common Units into shares of Common Stock or a class of preferred stock in consummation of the Incorporation and rounded up to the nearest whole share, and the exercise price or purchase price per Common Unit under any outstanding Option immediately prior to the Incorporation shall be divided by such conversion or exchange ratio and rounded down to the nearest full cent to determine the exercise price or purchase price per share of Common Stock or preferred stock subject to the Option immediately after the Incorporation. Upon the Incorporation, all references in the Plan to Units or Common Units shall automatically be converted into references to the shares of Common Stock or preferred stock into which the Units are converted and all references to the Company shall automatically be converted into references to the Corporate Successor.
17.No Effect on Terms of Employment/Consulting Relationship. The Plan shall not confer upon any Grantee any right with respect to the Grantee’s Continuous Service, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her right or the right of the Company or any Related Entity to terminate the Grantee’s Continuous Service at any time, with or without Cause, and with or without notice. The ability of the Company or any Related Entity to terminate the employment of a Grantee who is employed at will is in no way affected by its determination that the Grantee’s Continuous Service has been terminated for Cause for the purposes of this Plan.
18.No Effect on Retirement and Other Benefit Plans. Except as specifically provided in a retirement or other benefit plan of the Company or a Related Entity, Awards shall not be deemed compensation for purposes of computing benefits or contributions under any retirement plan of the Company or a Related Entity, and shall not affect any benefits under any other benefit plan of any kind or any benefit plan subsequently instituted under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to


13
level of compensation. The Plan is not a “Pension Plan” or “Welfare Plan” under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.
19.Information to Grantees. To the extent required by Applicable Laws, the Company shall provide to each Grantee, during the period for which such Grantee has one or more Awards outstanding, copies of financial statements at least annually. The Company shall not be required to provide such information to persons whose duties in connection with the Company assure them access to equivalent information.
20.Unfunded Obligation. Grantees shall have the status of general unsecured creditors of the Company. Any amounts payable to Grantees pursuant to the Plan shall be unfunded and unsecured obligations for all purposes, including, without limitation, Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Neither the Company nor any Related Entity shall be required to segregate any monies from its general funds, or to create any trusts, or establish any special accounts with respect to such obligations. The Company shall retain at all times beneficial ownership of any investments, including trust investments, which the Company may make to fulfill its payment obligations hereunder. Any investments or the creation or maintenance of any trust or any Grantee account shall not create or constitute a trust or fiduciary relationship between the Administrator, the Company or any Related Entity and a Grantee, or otherwise create any vested or beneficial interest in any Grantee or the Grantee’s creditors in any assets of the Company or a Related Entity. The Grantees shall have no claim against the Company or any Related Entity for any changes in the value of any assets that may be invested or reinvested by the Company with respect to the Plan.
21.Construction. Captions and titles contained herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of the Plan. Except when otherwise indicated by the context, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular. Use of the term “or” is not intended to be exclusive, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.
22.Nonexclusivity of the Plan. Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Management Committee nor any provision of the Plan will be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Management Committee to adopt such additional compensation arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of Awards otherwise than under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.
23.Information to Grantees. Beginning on the earlier of the date that the Company is required to deliver information to Grantees pursuant to Rule 701 under the Securities Act, and until such time as the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, is no longer required to deliver information to Grantees pursuant to Rule 701 under the Securities Act, the Company shall provide to each Grantee the information described in paragraphs (e)(3), (4), and (5) of Rule 701 under the Securities Act not less frequently than every six (6) months with the financial statements being not more than 180 days old and with such information provided either by physical or electronic delivery to Grantees or by written notice to Grantees of the availability of the information on an Internet site that may be password-protected and of any password needed to access the information. The Company may request that Grantees agree to keep the information to be provided pursuant to this section confidential. If a Grantee does not agree to keep the information to be provided pursuant to this section confidential, then the Company will not be required to provide the information unless otherwise required pursuant to Rule 701 of the Securities Act.

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED
2011 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
OPTION AGREEMENT
1.Grant of Option. Coupang, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), hereby grants to the Grantee (the “Grantee”) named in the Notice of Option Award (the “Notice”), an option (the “Option”) to purchase the total number of Common Units subject to the Option (the “Units”) set forth in the Notice, at the exercise price per Unit set forth in the Notice (the “Exercise Price”) subject to the terms and provisions of the Notice, this Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement”) and the Company’s Third Amended and Restated 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”) which are incorporated herein by reference. Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in this Option Agreement.
2.Exercise of Option.
(a)Right to Exercise. The Option shall vest during its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice and with the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement. The Option shall be subject to the provisions of the Notice and Section 14 of the Plan relating to the exercisability or termination of the Option in the event of a Company Transaction. The Grantee shall be subject to reasonable limitations on the number of requested exercises during any monthly or weekly period as determined by the Administrator. In no event shall the Company issue fractional Units.
(b)Method of Exercise. The Option shall be exercisable by delivery of an exercise notice in a form determined by the Administrator from time to time or by such other procedure as specified from time to time by the Administrator which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the whole number of Units in respect of which the Option is being exercised, and such other provisions as may be required by the Administrator. The exercise notice shall be delivered in person, by certified mail, or by such other method (including electronic transmission) as determined from time to time by the Administrator to the Company accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price and all applicable income and employment taxes required to be withheld. The Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such notice accompanied by the Exercise Price and all applicable taxes, which, to the extent selected, shall be deemed to be satisfied by use of the broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure to pay the Exercise Price provided in Section 4(c), below to the extent such procedure is available to the Grantee at the time of exercise and such an exercise would not violate any Applicable Law.
(c)Taxes. No Units will be delivered to the Grantee or other person pursuant to the exercise of the Option until the Grantee or other person has made arrangements acceptable to the Administrator for the satisfaction of applicable income tax and employment tax withholding obligations, including, without limitation, such other tax obligations of the Grantee incident to the receipt of Units. When, under applicable tax laws, a Grantee incurs tax liability in connection with the exercise of an Option that is subject to tax withholding the Company shall withhold or collect from the Grantee the minimum tax withholding obligation, including, but not limited to, by having the Company withhold from the Common Units to be issued up to the minimum number of Common Units having a Fair Market Value on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined that is not more than the minimum amount to be withheld. Furthermore, in the event of any determination that the Company has failed to



withhold a sum sufficient to pay all withholding taxes due in connection with the Option, the Grantee agrees to pay the Company the amount of such deficiency in cash within five (5) days after receiving a written demand from the Company to do so, whether or not the Grantee is an employee of the Company at that time.
3.Grantee’s Representations.
(a)The Grantee understands that neither the Option nor the Units exercisable pursuant to the Option have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any United States securities laws. In the event the Units purchasable pursuant to the exercise of the Option have not been registered under the Securities Act, at the time the Option is exercised, the Grantee shall, if requested by the Company, concurrently with the exercise of all or any portion of the Option, deliver to the Company his or her investment representation statement in a form determined by the Administrator from time to time.
(b)If Grantee is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), Grantee hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Option or the Units exercisable pursuant to the Option (the “Securities”) or any use of this Option Agreement, including (a) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Securities, (b) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (c) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (d) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale, or transfer of the Securities. Grantee’s subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Securities will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of Grantee’s jurisdiction. Furthermore, if Grantee resides outside of the United States, Grantee makes the following additional representations, warranties and agreements:
(i)Grantee is not a U.S. Person as defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”). The offer and sale of the Securities to such Grantee was made in an offshore transaction (as defined in Rule 902(h) of Regulation S), no directed selling efforts (as defined in Rule 902(c) of Regulation S) were made in the United States, and Grantee is not acquiring the Securities for the account or benefit of any U.S. Person;
(ii)Grantee will not, during the one year period following the issuance of the Securities (the “Restricted Period”), offer or sell the Securities (or create or maintain any derivative position equivalent thereto) in the United States, to or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person or other than in accordance with Regulation S; without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Grantee agrees to resell such Securities only in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S (Rules 901 through 905, and preliminary notes), pursuant to registration under the Securities Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from registration, and Grantee agrees not to engage in hedging transactions with regard to such Securities unless in compliance with the Securities Act; and
(iii)Grantee will, after the expiration of the applicable Restricted Period, offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Securities (or create or



maintain any derivative position equivalent thereto) only pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or any available exemption therefrom and, in any case, in accordance with applicable state securities laws.
(iv)Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall not register the transfer of the Securities in violation of these restrictions. Grantee acknowledges and agrees that any certificates for any Securities issued to Grantee shall contain a legend to the effect that transfer is prohibited except in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from registration and that hedging transactions involving such Securities may not be conducted unless in compliance with the Securities Act.
4.Method of Payment. Payment of the Exercise Price shall be made by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Grantee; provided, however, that such exercise method does not then violate any Applicable Law:
(a)By cash, check or wire transfer;
(b)If the exercise occurs on or after the Registration Date, surrender of Units held for the requisite period, if any, necessary to avoid a charge to the Company’s earnings for financial reporting purposes, or delivery of a properly executed form of attestation of ownership of Units as the Administrator may require which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender or attestation equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Units as to which the Option is being exercised;
(c)If the exercise occurs on or after the Registration Date, payment through a broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the Grantee shall (i) provide written instructions to a Company-designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of some or all of the purchased Units and remit to the Company sufficient funds to cover the aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased Units, and (ii) provide written directives to the Company to deliver the certificates for the purchased Units directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale transaction.
5.Restrictions on Exercise. The Option may not be exercised if the issuance of the Units subject to the Option upon such exercise would constitute a violation of any Applicable Laws. If the exercise of the Option within the applicable time periods set forth in Sections 6, 7 and 8 of this Option Agreement is prevented by the provisions of this Sections 5, the Option shall remain exercisable until one (1) month after the date the Grantee is notified by the Company that the Option is exercisable, but in any event no later than the expiration date set forth in the Notice (the “Expiration Date”) and subject to compliance with Section 409A of the Code.
6.Termination or Change of Continuous Service. Subject to Section 5, in the event the Grantee’s Continuous Service terminates, other than for Cause, the Grantee may, but only during the Post-Termination Exercise Period, exercise the portion of the Option that was vested at the date of such termination (the “Termination Date”). The Post-Termination Exercise Period shall commence on the Termination Date. In the event of termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service for Cause, the Grantee’s right to exercise the Option shall, except as otherwise determined by the Administrator, terminate concurrently with the termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service (also the “Termination



Date”). In no event, however, shall the Option be exercised later than the Expiration Date set forth in the Notice. In the event of the Grantee’s change in status from Employee to Consultant or from Consultant to Employee, the Option shall remain in effect and the Option shall continue to vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Notice. To the extent that the Option was unvested on the Termination Date, or if the Grantee does not exercise the vested portion of the Option within the Post-Termination Exercise Period, the Option shall terminate.
7.Disability of Grantee. Subject to Section 5, in the event the Grantee’s Continuous Service terminates as a result of his or her Disability, the Grantee may, but only within twelve (12) months from the Termination Date but in no event later than the Expiration Date, exercise the portion of the Option that was vested on the Termination Date. To the extent that the Option was unvested on the Termination Date, or if the Grantee does not exercise the vested portion of the Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.
8.Death of Grantee. In the event of the termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service as a result of his or her death, or in the event of the Grantee’s death during the Post-Termination Exercise Period or during the twelve (12) month period following the Grantee’s termination of Continuous Service as a result of his or her Disability, the person who acquired the right to exercise the Option pursuant to Section 9 may, within twelve (12) months following the date of the Grantee’s death but in no event later than the Expiration Date, exercise the portion of the Option that was vested on the Termination Date to the extent such portion is not forfeited in accordance with the terms of the Notice. To the extent that the Option was unvested on the date of death, or if the vested portion of the Option is not exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.
9.Transferability of Option. The Option may not be transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, provided, however, that the Option may be transferred during the lifetime of the Grantee to the extent and in the manner determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee may designate one or more beneficiaries of the Grantee’s Option in the event of the Grantee’s death on a beneficiary designation form provided by the Administrator. Following the death of the Grantee, the Option, to the extent provided in Section 8, may be exercised (a) by the person or persons designated under the deceased Grantee’s beneficiary designation, or (b) in the absence of an effectively designated beneficiary, by the Grantee’s legal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Grantee’s will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution. The terms of the Option shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and transferees of the Grantee.
10.Term of Option. The Option must be exercised no later than the Expiration Date or such earlier date as otherwise provided herein. After the Expiration Date or such earlier date, the Option shall be of no further force or effect and may not be exercised.
11.Company’s Right of First Refusal. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Units are subject to the right of first refusal (“Right of First Refusal”) set forth in Section 6.2 of the LLC Agreement, which Right of First Refusal is incorporated herein by reference irrespective of whether the LLC Agreement is amended at some future date to remove the Right of First Refusal therefrom, and that, except in compliance with such Right of First Refusal, neither the Grantee nor a transferee (either being sometimes referred to herein as the “Holder”) shall sell, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise transfer any Units or any right or interest therein.



12.Company’s Repurchase Right.
(a)Grant of Repurchase Right. The Company is hereby granted the right (the “Repurchase Right”), exercisable at any time (i) during the nine (9) month period following the Termination Date, or (ii) during the nine (9) month period following an exercise of the Option that occurs after the Termination Date to repurchase all or any portion of the Units (the “Unit Repurchase Period”).
(b)Exercise of the Repurchase Right. The Repurchase Right shall be exercisable by written notice delivered to each Holder of the Units prior to the expiration of the Unit Repurchase Period. The notice shall indicate the number of Units to be repurchased and the date on which the repurchase is to be effected, such date to be not later than the last day of the Unit Repurchase Period. On the date on which the repurchase is to be effected, the Company and/or its assigns shall pay to the Holder in cash or cash equivalents (including the cancellation of any purchase-money indebtedness) an amount equal to the Fair Market Value on the date on which the repurchase is to be effected of the Units which are to be repurchased from the Holder. Upon such payment or deposit into escrow for the benefit of the Holder, the Company and/or its assigns shall become the legal and beneficial owner of the Units being repurchased and all rights and interest thereon or related thereto, and the Company shall have the right to transfer to its own name or its assigns the number of Units being repurchased, without further action by the Holder.
(c)Assignment. Whenever the Company shall have the right to purchase Units under this Repurchase Right, the Company may designate and assign one or more Employees, Officers, directors or Members of the Company or other persons or organizations, to exercise all or a part of the Company’s Repurchase Right.
(d)Termination of the Repurchase Right. The Repurchase Right shall terminate with respect to any Units for which it is not timely exercised. In addition, the Repurchase Right shall terminate and cease to be exercisable with respect to all Units upon the Registration Date.
(e)Additional Units or Substituted Securities. In the event of the Incorporation or any transaction described in Sections 10 or 11 of the Plan, any new, substituted or additional securities or other property which is by reason of any such transaction distributed with respect to the Units shall be immediately subject to the Repurchase Right, but only to the extent the Units are at the time covered by such right.
13.Stop-Transfer Notices. In order to ensure compliance with the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Option Agreement, the Notice and the Plan, the Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.
14.Refusal to Transfer. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Units that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Option Agreement, or (ii) to treat as owner of such Units or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Units shall have been so transferred.
15.Tax Consequences.
(a)The Grantee may incur tax liability as a result of the Grantee’s purchase or disposition of the Units. THE GRANTEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING THE OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE UNITS.



(b)Notwithstanding the Company’s good faith determination of the Fair Market Value of the Units for purposes of determining the Exercise Price Per Unit of the Option as set forth in the Notice, the taxing authorities may assert that the Fair Market Value of the Units on the Date of Award was greater than the Exercise Price Per Unit. Under Section 409A of the Code, if the Exercise Price Per Unit of the Option is less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Date of Award, the Option may be treated as a form of deferred compensation and the Grantee may be subject to an acceleration of income recognition, an additional 20% tax, plus interest and possible penalties. In addition, the Company makes no representation that the Option will comply with Section 409A of the Code and makes no undertaking to prevent Section 409A of the Code from applying to the Option or to mitigate its effects on any deferrals or payments made in respect of the Option. The Grantee is encouraged to consult a tax adviser regarding the potential impact of Section 409A of the Code.
16.Lock-Up Agreement.
(a)Agreement. The Grantee, if requested by the Company and the lead underwriter of any public offering of the Common Stock (the “Lead Underwriter”), hereby irrevocably agrees not to sell, contract to sell, grant any option to purchase, transfer the economic risk of ownership in, make any short sale of, pledge or otherwise transfer or dispose of any interest in any Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or any other rights to purchase or acquire Common Stock (except Common Stock included in such public offering or acquired on the public market after such offering) during the 180 day period following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act, or such shorter or longer period of time as the Lead Underwriter shall specify. The Grantee further agrees to sign such documents as may be requested by the Lead Underwriter to effect the foregoing and agrees that the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to such Common Stock subject to the lock-up period until the end of such period. The Company and the Grantee acknowledge that each Lead Underwriter of a public offering of the Company’s stock, during the period of such offering and for the lock-up period thereafter, is an intended beneficiary of this Section 16(b).
(b)No Amendment Without Consent of Underwriter. During the period from identification of a Lead Underwriter in connection with any public offering of the Company’s Common Stock until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the lock-up period specified in Section 16(a) in connection with such offering, or (ii) the abandonment of such offering by the Company and the Lead Underwriter, the provisions of Section 16 may not be amended or waived except with the consent of the Lead Underwriter.
17.Entire Agreement: Governing Law. The Notice, the Plan and this Option Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Grantee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Grantee’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and the Grantee. Nothing in the Notice, the Plan and this Option Agreement (except as expressly provided therein) is intended to confer any rights or remedies on any persons other than the parties. The Notice, the Plan and this Option Agreement are to be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of Delaware to the rights and duties of the parties. Should any provision of the Notice, the Plan or this Option Agreement be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be enforced to the fullest extent allowed by law and the other provisions shall nevertheless remain effective and shall remain enforceable.



18.Construction. The captions used in the Notice and this Option Agreement are inserted for convenience and shall not be deemed a part of the Option for construction or interpretation. Except when otherwise indicated by the context, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular. Use of the term “or” is not intended to be exclusive, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.
19.Administration and Interpretation. Any question or dispute regarding the administration or interpretation of the Notice, the Plan or this Option Agreement shall be submitted by the Grantee or by the Company to the Administrator. The resolution of such question or dispute by the Administrator shall be final and binding on all persons.

COUPANG, LLC
THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED
2011 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
Terms defined in the Company’s Third Amended and Restated 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) shall have the same meanings in this Notice of Restricted Equity Unit Award (“Notice of Grant”).
Name:
Address:
You (the “Grantee”) have been granted an award of Restricted Equity Units (“REUs”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the attached Restricted Equity Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”), both of which are incorporated herein by reference, as follows:
Total Number of REUs:
REU Grant Date:
Expiration Date:   The earlier to occur of: (a) the date on which settlement of all vested REUs granted hereunder occurs and (b) the seventh anniversary of the Grant Date.
Vesting:

(a)Settlement of REUs is conditioned on satisfaction of two vesting requirements before the Expiration Date (or earlier termination of REUs pursuant to Section 3 of the Agreement): a time and service based requirement (the “Time and Service Based Requirement”) and a liquidity event requirement (the “Liquidity Event Requirement”), each as described below. REUs will only vest as set forth in clauses (1) and (2) below if both of these two requirements are satisfied on or before the Expiration Date (or earlier termination of REUs pursuant to Section 3 of the Agreement).
(1)Time and Service Based Requirement: Provided Grantee is in Continuous Service on each applicable date, the Time and Service Based Requirement will be satisfied as follows:
Time/Service Based -- Vesting DateNumber of REUs Vesting



During any authorized leave of absence, the vesting of the REUs with respect to the Time and Service Based Requirement shall be suspended after the leave of absence exceeds a period of ninety (90) days. The vesting of the REUs with respect to the Time and Service Based Requirement shall resume upon Grantee’s termination of the leave of absence and return to service to the Company or a Related Entity. The vesting schedule of the REUs with respect to the Time and Service Based Requirement shall be extended by the length of the suspension.
(2)Liquidity Event Requirement: The Liquidity Event Requirement will be satisfied on the first to occur of (i) the date that is the earlier of (x) the six month anniversary of the effective date of an initial public offering of the Company’s securities (“IPO”) or (y) March 15 of the calendar year following the year in which the IPO was declared effective, or (ii) a Change in Control (the earlier of (i) and (ii) being an “Initial Vesting Event”).
(b) REUs Vested at Initial Vesting Event. If at the time of the Initial Vesting Event, Grantee’s Continuous Service has terminated and did not meet the Time and Service Based Requirement with respect to any portion of the REUs, then no portion of the REUs shall vest. If at the time of the Initial Vesting Event, Grantee’s Continuous Service has terminated but did meet the Time and Service Based Requirement with respect to any portion of the REUs, then the REUs shall vest per the calculation set forth in clause (a)(1) above. If at the time of the Initial Vesting Event, Grantee is in Continuous Service and did meet the Time and Service Based Requirement with respect to any portion of the REUs, then the REUs shall vest per the calculation set forth in clause (a)(1) above.
(c) REUs Vested after Initial Vesting Event. If Grantee is in Continuous Service on the date of the Initial Vesting Event, then with respect to REUs that have not vested as of such Initial Vesting Event, vesting shall continue under the Time and Service Based Requirement as set forth in clause (a)(1) above (each vesting date a “Subsequent Vesting Event”).
(d) Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event of a termination of Grantee’s Continuous Service for Cause, all REUs shall be forfeited to the Company forthwith, and all rights of Grantee to such REUs shall immediately terminate.
Settlement: Upon the Initial Vesting Event or within 30 days following the occurrence of any Subsequent Vesting Event as set forth above, REUs that vest as of the Initial Vesting Event or any Subsequent Vesting Event, as applicable, shall be settled. Settlement means the delivery of the Common Units (the “Units”) vested under an REU. Settlement of REUs on the Initial Vesting Event or any Subsequent Vesting Event shall be in Units unless at the time of settlement the Administrator, in its sole discretion, determines that settlement shall, in whole or in part, be in the form of cash. Settlement of vested REUs shall occur whether or not Grantee is in Continuous Service at the time of settlement. No fractional REUs or rights for fractional Units shall be created pursuant to this Notice of Grant.
Grantee acknowledges that the vesting of the REUs pursuant to this Notice of Grant is conditioned on the occurrence of both the Time and Service Based Requirement and the Liquidity Event Requirement. By Grantee’s acceptance hereof (whether written, electronic or otherwise), Grantee agrees,



to the fullest extent permitted by law, that Grantee has read this Notice of Grant, the Agreement and the Plan.
By your acceptance hereof (whether written, electronic or otherwise), you agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that in lieu of receiving documents in paper format, you accept the electronic delivery of any documents the Company, or any third party involved in administering the Plan which the Company may designate, may deliver in connection with this grant (including the Plan, this Notice of Grant, the Agreement, the information described in Rules 701(e)(2), (3), (4) and (5) under the Securities Act (the “701 Disclosures”), account statements, or other communications or information) whether via the Company’s intranet or the Internet site of such third party or via email or such other means of electronic delivery specified by the Company.
You also acknowledge and agree that you are not by reason of receiving this Notice of Grant, a Member, and you do not hold any ownership interest in the Company until the REUs vest and settle and the Units are issued to you. You further acknowledge that until your REUs vest and settle, you (i) will not receive any profit distributions, (ii) will not be allocated any Company profits or losses, (iii) will not have a capital account, (iv) will have no right to any Company assets as a Member upon liquidation of the Company; and (v) will have no voting rights as a Member of the Company. You agree that if the REU vests and settles prior to the Incorporation, you will become a party to the LLC Agreement, receive Units representing an ownership interest in the Company and be bound by the terms and conditions of the LLC Agreement, as amended from time to time. You further agree to execute all documents necessary to become a party to the LLC Agreement and agree that the issuance of Units upon the settlement of the REUs is conditioned upon the execution of such documents.
By your signature and the signature of the Company’s representative on the Notice of Grant, Grantee and the Company agree that this REU is granted under and governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Notice of Grant, the LLC Agreement and the Agreement.

RESTRICTED EQUITY UNIT AGREEMENT
THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED
2011 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
Grantee has been granted Restricted Equity Units (“REUs”) subject to the terms, restrictions and conditions of the Company’s Third Amended and Restated 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the Notice of Restricted Equity Unit Award (“Notice of Grant”) and this Restricted Equity Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”). Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in this Agreement.
1.No Unitholder Rights. Unless and until such time as Common Units (the “Units”) are issued in settlement of vested REUs, Grantee shall have no ownership of the Units allocated to the REUs and shall have no right to vote such Units.
2.No Transfer. The REUs and any interest therein shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantee may, in the manner established by the Administrator, designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise the rights of Grantee and receive any property distributable with respect to the REUs upon the death of Grantee. Any transferee who receives an interest in the REU or the underlying Units upon the death of Grantee shall acknowledge in writing that the REU shall continue to be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 2 and the underlying Units shall continue to be subject to the limitations set forth in the LLC Agreement.
3.Termination. The REUs shall terminate on the Expiration Date or as earlier provided in this Section 3. If Grantee’s Continuous Service terminates for any reason, all REUs for which vesting is no longer possible under the terms of the Notice of Grant and this Agreement shall be forfeited to the Company forthwith, and all rights of Grantee to such REUs shall immediately terminate. If Grantee’s Continuous Service terminates prior to an Initial Vesting Event, all REUs as to which the Time and Service Based Requirement has not been satisfied as of the date of such termination shall be forfeited to the Company forthwith, and all rights of Grantee to such REUs shall immediately terminate. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event of a termination of Grantee’s Continuous Service for Cause, all REUs shall be forfeited to the Company forthwith, and all rights of Grantee to such REUs shall immediately terminate.
4.Acknowledgement. The Company and Grantee agree that the REUs are granted under and governed by the Notice of Grant, this Agreement and by the provisions of the Plan (incorporated herein by reference). Grantee: (i) acknowledges receipt of a copy of each of the foregoing documents, (ii) represents that Grantee has carefully read and is familiar with their provisions, and (iii) hereby accepts the REUs subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth herein and those set forth in the Plan and the Notice of Grant.
5.Company’s Right of First Refusal. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Units are subject to the right of first refusal (“Right of First Refusal”) set forth in Section 6.2 of the LLC Agreement, which Right of First Refusal is incorporated herein by reference irrespective of whether the LLC Agreement is amended at some future date to remove the Right of First Refusal therefrom, and that, except in compliance with such Right of First Refusal, neither the Grantee nor a transferee shall sell, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise transfer any Units or any right or interest therein.



6.Limitations on Transfer of Units. In addition to any other limitation on transfer created by applicable securities laws, Grantee shall not assign, encumber or dispose of any interest in the Units issued pursuant to this Agreement except with the Company’s prior written consent and in compliance with the provisions of the Plan, the LLC Agreement, the Company’s then-current Insider Trading Policy, and applicable securities laws. The restrictions on transfer also include a prohibition on any short position, any “put equivalent position” or any “call equivalent position” by the REU holder with respect to the REU itself as well as any Units issuable upon settlement of the REU prior to the settlement thereof until the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Units subject to the Agreement are also subject to the terms of the LLC Agreement which include, among other provisions, restrictions on the transferability of the Units.
7.Restrictions Binding on Transferees. All transferees of Units or any interest therein will receive and hold such Units or interest subject to the provisions of this Agreement (including the transfer restrictions of Sections 2, 6, 7 and 11) and the LLC Agreement, and the transferee shall acknowledge such restrictions in writing. Any sale or transfer of the Units shall be void unless the provisions of this Agreement are satisfied.
8.Withholding of Tax. Regardless of any action the Company or Grantee’s actual employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by Grantee is and remains Grantee’s responsibility and that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the award, including the settlement of the REUs, the subsequent sale of Units acquired pursuant to such settlement; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the award or any aspect of the REUs to reduce or eliminate Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items. Grantee acknowledges that if Grantee is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Company and/or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
Prior to the settlement of Grantee’s REUs, Grantee shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all withholding and payment on account obligations of the Company and/or the Employer. In this regard, Grantee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by Grantee from Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Grantee by the Company and/or the Employer. With the Company’s consent, these arrangements may also include, if permissible under local law, (a) withholding Units that otherwise would be issued to Grantee when Grantee’s REUs are settled, provided that the Company only withholds the amount of Units necessary to satisfy the minimum statutory withholding amount, (b) having the Company withhold taxes from the proceeds of the sale of the Units, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Grantee’s behalf and Grantee hereby authorize such sales by this authorization), or (c) Grantee’s payment of a cash amount; all under such rules as may be established by the Administrator and following the Registration Date, in compliance with the Company’s Insider Trading Policy and 10b51 Trading Plan Policy, if applicable; provided however, that if Grantee is a Section 16 officer of the Company under the Exchange Act, then the Administrator (as constituted in accordance with Rule 16b3 under the Exchange Act) shall establish the method of withholding from alternatives (a)(c) above, and the Administrator shall establish the method prior to the Tax-Related Items withholding event. The Fair Market Value of these, determined as of the effective date when taxes otherwise would have been withheld in cash, will be applied as a credit against the withholding taxes. Grantee shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of Grantee’s participation in the Plan or Grantee’s purchase of Units that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. Finally, Grantee acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to deliver Units to Grantee
- 2 -


until Grantee has satisfied the obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this Section.
9.Code Section 409A. For purposes of this Agreement, a termination of employment will be determined consistent with the rules relating to a “separation from service” as defined in Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder (“Section 409A”). Notwithstanding anything else provided herein, to the extent any payments provided under this Agreement in connection with Grantee’s termination of employment constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, and Grantee is deemed at the time of such termination of employment to be a “specified employee” under Section 409A, then such payment shall not be made or commence until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the 6-month period measured from Grantee’s separation from service from the Company or (ii) the date of Grantee’s death following such a separation from service; provided, however, that such deferral shall only be effected to the extent required to avoid adverse tax treatment to Grantee including, without limitation, the additional tax for which Grantee would otherwise be liable under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) in the absence of such a deferral. The first payment thereof will include a catch-up payment covering the amount that would have otherwise been paid during the period between Grantee’s termination of employment and the first payment date but for the application of this provision, and the balance of the installments (if any) will be payable in accordance with their original schedule. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A, the provision will be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A. To the extent any payment under this Agreement may be classified as a “short-term deferral” within the meaning of Section 409A, such payment shall be deemed a short-term deferral, even if it may also qualify for an exemption from Section 409A under another provision of Section 409A. Payments pursuant to this section are intended to constitute separate payments for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations.
10.Tax Consequences. GRANTEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER APPROPRIATELY QUALIFIED IN THE COUNTRY OR COUNTRIES IN WHICH THE GRANTEE RESIDES OR IS SUBJECT TO TAXATION BEFORE THE REU SETTLES OR DISPOSING OF THE UNITS. Grantee has obtained any necessary advice from an appropriate independent professional adviser in relation to the taxation and social contributions or taxation implications of the grant, vesting, settlement and sale or any other disposal of the REU pursuant to the Plan and on any subsequent disposal of the Units. In signing and returning this Agreement, the Grantee is confirming that appropriate advice has been sought from an independent adviser. The Company has not made any representation regarding applicable taxation implications.
11.Compliance with Laws and Regulations; Investment Intent; Restrictions on Transfer & Access to Information.
(a)The issuance of Units or other equity securities issued upon conversion of the Units (the “Securities”) will be subject to and conditioned upon compliance by the Company and Grantee (including any written representations, warranties and agreements as the Administrator may request of Grantee for compliance with Applicable Laws) with all applicable state and federal laws and regulations and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Securities may be listed or quoted at the time of such issuance or transfer. Grantee may not be issued any Securities if such issuance would constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Securities may then be listed. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Securities shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Securities.
- 3 -


(b)If Grantee resides outside of the United States, Grantee makes the following additional representations, warranties and agreements:
(i)Grantee is not a U.S. Person as defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”). The offer and sale of the Securities to such Grantee was made in an offshore transaction (as defined in Rule 902(h) of Regulation S), no directed selling efforts (as defined in Rule 902(c) of Regulation S) were made in the United States, and Grantee is not acquiring the Securities for the account or benefit of any U.S. Person;
(ii)Grantee will not, during the one year period following the issuance of the Securities (the “Restricted Period”), offer or sell the Securities (or create or maintain any derivative position equivalent thereto) in the United States, to or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person or other than in accordance with Regulation S; without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Grantee agrees to resell such Securities only in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S (Rules 901 through 905, and preliminary notes), pursuant to registration under the Securities Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from registration, and Grantee agrees not to engage in hedging transactions with regard to such Securities unless in compliance with the Securities Act; and
(iii)Grantee will, after the expiration of the applicable Restricted Period, offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Securities (or create or maintain any derivative position equivalent thereto) only pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or any available exemption therefrom and, in any case, in accordance with applicable state securities laws.
(iv)Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall not register the transfer of the Securities in violation of these restrictions. Grantee acknowledges and agrees that any certificates for any Securities issued to Grantee shall contain a legend to the effect that transfer is prohibited except in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from registration and that hedging transactions involving such Securities may not be conducted unless in compliance with the Securities Act.
(c)Grantee represents and warrants to the Company that Grantee will hold the Securities for investment for Grantee’s account only, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” of Securities within the meaning of the Securities Act. Grantee understands that the Securities will not be registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from such registration requirement and that the Securities must be held by Grantee indefinitely, unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or Grantee obtains an opinion of counsel (in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and its counsel) that registration is not required. Grantee acknowledges that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act or under any other securities law.
- 4 -


(d)Grantee agrees not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Securities in violation of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the rules promulgated thereunder (including Rule 144 under the Securities Act described below “Rule 144”) or of any other applicable securities laws. Grantee is aware of Rule 144, which permits limited public resales of securities acquired in a non-public offering, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, which include (without limitation) that: (a) certain current public information about the Company is available; (b) the resale occurs only after the holding period required by Rule 144 has been met; (c) the sale occurs through an unsolicited “broker’s transaction”; and (d) the amount of securities being sold during any three-month period does not exceed specified limitations. The Grantee understands that the conditions for resale set forth in Rule 144 have not been satisfied and that the Company has no plans to satisfy these conditions in the foreseeable future.
(e)If Grantee resides outside of the United States, Grantee represents, warrants and agrees that Grantee will not, during the one year period following the issuance of the Securities, offer or sell the Securities (or create or maintain any derivative position equivalent thereto) in the United States, to or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person (as defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act) or other than in accordance with Regulation S.
(f)Grantee acknowledges that Grantee has received and has access to such information as Grantee considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to invest in the Securities and that Grantee had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the issuance of the Securities. Grantee is aware that Grantee’s investment in the Company is a speculative investment that has limited liquidity and is subject to the risk of complete loss. Grantee is able, without impairing my financial condition, to hold the Securities for an indefinite period and to suffer a complete loss of Grantee’s investment in the Securities.
12.Legend on Certificates. Following an Incorporation or the Registration Date, the certificates representing any Securities issued hereunder shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Administrator may deem advisable under the Plan, this Agreement, the LLC Agreement, or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which such Securities are listed, and any applicable Federal or state laws, and the Administrator may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. The certificates representing the Securities issued hereunder shall bear the following legend, in addition to any other legends deemed advisable by the Administrator:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE NOT REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO U.S. PERSONS (AS DEFINED IN REGULATION S PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, UNLESS AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE. HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT.”
13.Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company.

14.Entire Agreement; Severability. The Plan and Notice of Grant are incorporated herein by reference. The Plan, the Notice of Grant and this Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Grantee with respect to the subject matter hereof (including, without limitation, any commitment to make any other form of equity award (such as stock options) that may have been set forth in any employment offer letter or other agreement between the parties). If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of law to be illegal or unenforceable, then such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible and the other provisions will remain fully effective and enforceable.
15.Lock-Up Agreement.
(a)Agreement. The Grantee, if requested by the Company and the lead underwriter of any public offering of the Common Stock (the “Lead Underwriter”), hereby irrevocably agrees not to sell, contract to sell, grant any option to purchase or award to acquire, transfer the economic risk of ownership in, make any short sale of, pledge or otherwise transfer or dispose of any interest in any Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or any other rights to purchase or acquire Common Stock (except Common Stock included in such public offering or acquired on the public market after such offering) during the 180 day period following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act (or under the applicable laws of another jurisdiction under which such securities may be listed), or such shorter or longer period of time as the Lead Underwriter shall specify. The Grantee further agrees to sign such documents as may be requested by the Lead Underwriter to effect the foregoing and agrees that the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to such Common Stock subject to the lock-up period until the end of such period. The Company and the Grantee acknowledge that each Lead Underwriter of a public offering of the Company’s stock, during the period of such offering and for the lock-up period thereafter, is an intended beneficiary of this Section 15(a).
(b)No Amendment Without Consent of Underwriter.

16.No Rights as Employee, Director or Consultant. Except to the extent otherwise provided under applicable law or individual written agreement between the Grantee and Company or the Employer, nothing in this Agreement shall affect in any manner whatsoever the right or power of the Employer, the Company, or a Parent or Subsidiary, to terminate Grantees Continuous Service, for any reason, with or without cause. Grantee understands that his or her employment or consulting relationship with the Company or a Parent or Subsidiary of the Company is for an unspecified duration, can be terminated at any time (i.e., is “at-will”), and that nothing in the Notice of Grant, the Agreement or the Plan changes the “at-will” nature of that relationship.

19.Choice of Law and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, as such laws are applied to contracts entered into and performed in such State. For purposes of any action, lawsuit or other proceedings brought to enforce this Agreement, relating to it, or arising from it, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (or should such court lack jurisdiction to hear such action, suit or proceeding, in a Delaware state court in the County of New Castle), and no other courts, where this grant is made and/or to be performed.
20.No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Grantee’s participation in the Plan, or Grantee’s acquisition of REUs or of the underlying Units. Grantee 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.
