Marketo, Inc. (the “Company”) is pleased to offer you employment on the following terms:
1. Position. Your initial title will be Vice President, Finance, and you will initially report to Xxxx Xxxx. This is a full-time, exempt position. While you render services to the Company, you will not engage in any other employment, consulting or other business activity (whether full-time or part-time) that would create a conflict of interest with the Company. By signing this letter agreement, you confirm to the Company that you have no contractual commitments or other legal obligations that would prohibit you from performing your duties for the Company.
Your work location will be the Company’s offices in San Mateo, California.
2. Cash Compensation. The Company will pay you a starting salary at the rate of $250,000 per year, payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll schedule. This salary will be subject to adjustment pursuant to the Company’s employee compensation policies in effect from time to time.
In addition, you will be eligible for an MBO bonus plan, details of which will be established. Your total on-target compensation under the MBO bonus plan for the first calendar year of your employment will be 40% of base salary, annualized and prorated from your hire date.
3. Employee Benefits. As a regular employee of the Company, you will be eligible to participate in a number of Company-sponsored benefits. These benefits are described in the Company’s employee benefit summary. In addition, you will be entitled to paid vacation in accordance with the Company’s vacation policy, as in effect from time to time.
4. Restricted Stock Unit Award. Subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors or its Compensation or Equity Management Committee and in accordance with Marketo’s equity award grant policy, you will be granted 37,500 restricted stock units (the “RSUs”) under Marketo’s 2013 Stock Plan (the “Plan”).

You agree to electronic delivery and acceptance of the applicable equity documents. The RSUs will vest and become non-forfeitable (assuming your continued employment with the Marketo group on each vesting date) as follows: 25% each on the first, second, third and fourth anniversary of the grant date.
5. Change in Control. In addition, you will be subject to our Tier 3 Change in Control Policy, which includes 9 months of salary and COBRA reimbursement, 50% acceleration of unvested equity, as well as other benefits, which will be detailed in a separate agreement.

10. Interpretation, Amendment and Enforcement.

This letter agreement may not be amended or modified, except by an express written agreement signed by both you and a duly authorized officer of the Company. The terms of this letter agreement and the resolution of any disputes as to the meaning, effect, performance or validity of this letter agreement or arising out of, related to, or in any way connected with, this letter agreement, your employment with the Company or any other relationship between you and the Company (the “Disputes”) will be governed by California law, excluding laws relating to conflicts or choice of law.
