1. Award of Restricted Stock. Effective with your commencement of employment on October 1, 2019,
Internap Corporation (the “Company”) hereby awards to the employee or director (“Recipient”) named in the Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock (“Notice”), a grant of Restricted Stock (“Stock”) for the total number of shares set forth on the Notice (the “Award”), subject to the
terms, definitions and provisions of the Internap Corporation 2017 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), which is incorporated herein by reference, and the terms of this Restricted
Stock Inducement Award Agreement (the “Agreement”), although this Award is issued as an inducement award pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(c)(4), is
not issued under the Plan and the shares of Stock issued pursuant to this Award shall not be considered as issued under the Plan. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them
in the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and those of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall prevail.
2. Terms of Award.
2.1 Lapsing of Restrictions. Subject to the limitations contained herein, the restrictions on the
Award shall lapse, and the Award shall vest, as provided in the Notice, provided that vesting shall cease upon the termination of Recipient’s status as an Eligible Employee or a Director, except to the extent expressly provided in the Notice. The
period during which the Stock is subject to restrictions imposed by the Plan and this Agreement shall be known as the “Restricted Period.”
2.2 Forfeiture. Simultaneously with termination of Recipient’s status as an Eligible Employee or a
Director, Recipient shall automatically forfeit any remaining unvested shares of Stock, except to the extent expressly provided in the Notice.
2.3 Number of Shares of Stock. The number of shares of Stock subject to the Award may be adjusted
from time-to-time as provided in Section 11 of the Plan.
2.3 Restrictive Legends. The shares issued under the Award shall be endorsed with appropriate
legends determined by the Company.
3. [Reserved]
4. Reacquisition of Unvested Shares. The Company shall automatically reacquire (“Reacquisition
Right”) all or any part of the shares of Stock received pursuant to Recipient’s Award that have not as yet vested in accordance with the vesting schedule on the Notice (“Unvested Shares”) on the
following terms and conditions:
4.1 Escrow of Shares. The Company will hold each share of Stock issued under the Award in escrow on
Recipient’s behalf until such time as the share of Stock vests, at which time such share of Stock shall be released to the Recipient’s account.
4.2 Termination of Status. Except to the extent expressly provided in the Notice, the Company shall,
simultaneously with termination of Recipient’s status as an Eligible Employee or a Director, automatically reacquire for no consideration all of the Unvested Shares, and Recipient shall automatically forfeit the Unvested Shares to the Company and
relinquish any rights in the Unvested Shares to the Company.
4.3 Adjustment of Shares. If, from time-to-time, there is any stock dividend, stock split or other
change in the character or amount of any of the outstanding Stock of the Company the Stock of which is subject to the provisions of the Award, then in such event any and all new, substituted or additional securities to which Recipient is entitled
by reason of ownership of the shares acquired under the Award will be immediately subject to the Reacquisition Right with the same force and effect as the shares subject to this Reacquisition Right immediately before such event.
5. Rights as a Stockholder. During the Restricted Period, Recipient shall have all voting,
dividend, liquidation and other rights with respect to the Stock held of record by Recipient as if Recipient held unrestricted Stock; provided, however, that the Unvested Shares shall be subject to any
restrictions on transferability or risks of forfeiture imposed pursuant to the Plan, the Notice or this Agreement. Any noncash dividends or distributions paid with respect to Unvested Shares shall be subject to the same restrictions as those
relating to the Stock awarded under this Agreement. After the restrictions applicable to the Stock lapse, Recipient shall have all stockholder rights, including the right to transfer the shares, subject to such conditions as the Company may
reasonably specify to ensure compliance with federal and state securities laws.
6. No Obligation to Employ. Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan shall confer on Recipient any
right to continue in the employ of, or other relationship with, the Company, or limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate Recipient’s employment or other relationship at any time, with or without cause. By accepting this Award,
Participant acknowledges and agrees that Participant’s acceptance of this Award is voluntary.
7. Withholding. The Company shall be entitled to (a) withhold and deduct from Recipient’s future
wages (or from other amounts that may be due and owing to Recipient from the Company), or make other arrangement for the collection of, all legally required amounts necessary to satisfy any and all federal, state and local withholding and
employment-related tax requirements attributable to the Stock awarded under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the award or vesting of, or payments of dividends with respect to, the Stock. Recipient may promptly remit the amount of such
withholding to the Company or direct the Company to satisfy Recipient’s withholding requirements by withholding common stock to be received or by the delivery by Recipient to the Company of common stock of the Company. Unless the tax withholding
obligations of the Company are satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to issue a certificate for such shares or release such shares from any escrow provided for herein.
8. Transferability. Until the restrictions lapse as set forth herein, the Stock granted under this
Agreement may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. All rights with respect to the Stock are exercisable during Recipient’s lifetime only by Recipient.
9. Interpretation. Any dispute regarding the interpretation of this Agreement shall be submitted by Recipient
or the Company to the Compensation Committee for review. The resolution of such a dispute by the Compensation Committee shall be final and binding on the Company and Recipient.
10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State
of Delaware without regard to its principles of conflict of laws.
11. Entire Agreement. The Plan and the Notice are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part
hereof. This Agreement, the Plan and the Notice constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede all prior undertakings and agreements with respect to the subject matter hereof.
12. 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. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon Recipient and Recipient’s heirs, executors,
administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns.
13. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or modified at any time only by an instrument in writing
signed by each of the parties hereto.
