By accepting this Award, Participant expressly consents to the sale of Shares to be delivered under this Award to cover Participant’s Tax Withholding Obligation (and any associated broker or other fees) pursuant to the 10b5-1 Plan and agrees and acknowledges that Participant may not satisfy Participant’s Tax Withholding Obligation by any means other than such sale of Shares, except as set forth in Section 8(b).

(b) Committee Discretion. If the Committee determines that Participant cannot satisfy Participant’s Tax Withholding Obligation through the default procedure described in clause (a), it may permit Participant to satisfy Participant’s Tax Withholding Obligation by (i) delivering to the Company Shares that Participant owns and that have vested with a fair market value equal to Participant’s Tax Withholding Obligation (in which case, the Company shall remit the amount that is required under applicable law to the appropriate governmental authorities in cash with the remainder, if any, to be promptly paid to Participant), (ii) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable Shares having a fair market value equal to Participant’s Tax Withholding Obligation (in which case, the Company shall remit the amount that is required under applicable law to the appropriate governmental authorities in cash with the remainder, if any, to be promptly paid to Participant), (iii) payment by Participant in cash, or (iv) such other means as the Committee deems appropriate.

(c) Company’s Obligation to Deliver Shares. For clarification purposes, in no event will the Company issue Participant any Shares unless and until arrangements satisfactory to the Committee have been made for the payment of Participant’s Tax Withholding Obligation. If Participant fails to do so by the time they become due, Participant will permanently forfeit the Shares subject to this Award to which Participant’s Tax Withholding Obligation relates, as well as any right to receive Shares subject to this Award otherwise issuable hereunder.

9. Tax Consequences. Participant acknowledges that there will be tax consequences in connection with this Award, including upon vesting of the Shares subject to this Award and/or disposition of the Shares, if any, received in connection therewith, and Participant should consult a tax adviser regarding Participant’s tax obligations with respect to this Award.

Any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any unvested Shares subject to this Award, or any right or privilege conferred hereby, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar process, will be void and not be given effect and the Company will not be bound in any way to take any action to consummate or acknowledge the transaction.

12. Limitations on Transfer of Stock.

13. Restrictions Binding on Transferees. All transferees of Shares or any interest therein will receive and hold such shares or interest subject to the provisions of this RSA Agreement, including the transfer restrictions of Sections 11 and 12, and the transferee shall acknowledge such restrictions in writing. Any sale or transfer of the Shares shall be void unless the provisions of this RSA Agreement are satisfied.

14. Award Subject to Company Clawback or Recoupment. The Shares subject to this Award shall be subject to clawback or recoupment pursuant to any compensation clawback or recoupment policy adopted by the Board or required by law during the term during which Participant is a Service Provider that is applicable to executive officers, employees, directors or other service providers of the Company, and in addition to any other remedies available under such policy and applicable law may require the forfeiture of the Shares (whether vested or unvested) and the recoupment of any gains realized with respect to any Shares that had previously vest and delivered to Participant.

15. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The initial issuance of Shares and, if applicable, any subsequent delivery of Shares upon release from escrow in accordance with Section 3, will be subject to and conditioned upon compliance by the Company and Participant (including any written representations, warranties and agreements as the Committee may request of Participant 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 Company’s securities may be listed or quoted at the time of such issuance or transfer. Participant may not be issued any Shares 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 automated quotation system upon which the Shares 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 Shares shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares.

16. Legend.

EXHIBIT A

PERFORMANCE MATRIX

Capitalized terms used in this Exhibit A shall have the meanings prescribed to them under this RSA Agreement unless otherwise defined herein.

1. Performance Condition. Subject to the following sentence, the actual number of Shares subject to this Award that will vest will be determined based upon the achievement of Company Stock Price Target(s) during the Performance Period and the satisfaction of the applicable service-based vesting conditions, all in accordance with this Exhibit A. Except as set forth in Section 4 of this Exhibit A, in no case can more than 1,320,000 Shares become Eligible Shares (as defined below) in any calendar year during the Initial Period (such limit, the “Share Limit”). For the avoidance of doubt, following the end of the Initial Period, no Share Limit shall apply.

“Initial Period” means the period beginning on the start of the Performance Period and ending on the fourth anniversary of the start of the Performance Period.

“Performance Period” means the period (a) commencing on the first trading day following the later of (i) the expiration of the lock-up period following the IPO Date and (ii) January 1, 2019 and (b) ending on the Expiration Date.

2. Company Stock Price. Except as set forth in Sections 3 and 4 of this Exhibit A, on each Achievement Date during the Performance Period, a number of Shares will become eligible to vest equal to the number of Shares listed as the “Shares” corresponding to the applicable Company Stock Price Target in the table below but not to exceed the Share Limit (such Shares, the “Eligible Shares”), and such Eligible Shares will vest on the earlier of: (a) the next Vesting Date subject to Participant satisfying the Service Condition through such date, or (b) an Acceleration Event. If, as a result of the Company Stock Price Target achievement, a number of Shares otherwise would have become Eligible Shares but for the Share Limit, the Shares that exceeded the Share Limit will not become Eligible Shares, and any such Shares will only become Eligible Shares (if at all) upon the next Achievement Date relating to the Company Stock Price Target applicable to such Shares, subject to Sections 3 and 4 of this Exhibit A.


	Company Stock Price Target*	Shares
1.	$20.00	1,320,000
2.	$25.00	660,000
3.	$30.00	660,000
4.	$35.00	660,000
5.	$40.00	660,000
6.	$45.00	660,000
7.	$50.00	660,000
8.	$55.00	660,000
9.	$60.00	660,000

The “Company Stock Price Targets” shall be adjusted as appropriate to reflect any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, reorganizations, reclassifications or similar event under Section 3(f) of this RSA Agreement. The Committee, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under this RSA Agreement, will make the determination of any such adjustments required in connection with any such event.

“Achievement Date” means the first trading date occurring during the Performance Period in which a Company Stock Price Target is achieved. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) each Company Stock Price Target may only be achieved once during the Performance Period unless the Share Limit would

apply and result in less than all of the Shares corresponding to a Company Stock Price Target becoming Eligible Shares, in which case, such Company Stock Price Target must be achieved again (subject to the Share Limit) for such remaining Shares to become Eligible Shares and (b) more than one Company Stock Price Target may be achieved on a particular date. Except in connection with an Acquisition as set forth in Section 4, no partial achievement will occur and no Shares will become Eligible Shares for achievement between two Company Stock Price Targets.

For example, assume the Performance Period begins on January 2, 2019 and the Company Stock Price as of February 14, 2019 is $30.10. February 14, 2019 shall be an Achievement Date (assuming the Service Condition is satisfied as of that date) with respect to 2,640,000 Shares (comprising Company Stock Price Targets 1 through 3) but the Share Limit would result in only 1,320,000 Shares becoming Eligible Shares. Accordingly, the number of Shares subject to this Award that will become Eligible Shares on February 14, 2019 will equal 1,320,000 Shares. Such Eligible Shares would vest on the earlier of: (a) the next Vesting Date (May 15, 2019) subject to Participant satisfying the Service Condition through such date, or (b) an Acceleration Event.

Assume instead that the Performance Period begins on January 2, 2019 and the Company Stock Price as of February 14, 2023 is $30.10. Assume for this purpose, no Company Stock Price Target was achieved prior to February 14, 2023. February 14, 2023 shall be an Achievement Date (assuming the Service Condition is satisfied as of that date) with respect to 2,640,000 Shares (comprising Company Stock Price Targets 1 through 3) and no Share Limit would apply because the Initial Period would have terminated. Accordingly, the number of Shares subject to this Award that will become Eligible Shares on February 14, 2023 will equal 2,640,000 Shares. Such Eligible Shares would vest on the earlier of: (a) the next Vesting Date (May 15, 2023) subject to Participant satisfying the Service Condition through such date, or (b) an Acceleration Event.

“Company Stock Price” means the weighted average closing price of a Share as reported on a Securities Exchange for any thirty (30) consecutive trading day period occurring within the Performance Period.

“Company Stock Price Target” means each Company Stock Price set forth in the table above.

3. Service Condition and Forfeiture. In order for any Shares hereunder to become Eligible Shares and to vest, Participant must have continuously satisfied the Service Condition through the applicable Achievement Date, and continue to satisfy the Service Condition through the Vesting Date or experience an Acceleration Event after the Achievement Date but before the Vesting Date. Except with respect to any Eligible Shares that may vest on an Acceleration Event in accordance with the prior sentence, on the Expiration Date, any outstanding Shares subject to this Award that have not vested immediately will be forfeited and returned to the Company, and Participant will have no further rights with respect to such Shares.

4. Acquisition.

If an Acquisition occurs on or prior to the Expiration Date (but, for the avoidance of doubt, following the IPO Date), then the following rules will apply.

Immediately prior to an Acquisition, the Share Limit shall no longer be applicable and rather than applying the definition of “Company Stock Price” in Section 2, “Company Stock Price” instead will mean the Per Share Deal Price. “Per Share Deal Price” means the value of the total amount of consideration received or potentially receivable for a Share by holders of the Company’s Class A Common Stock in connection with the Acquisition. The value of any non-cash consideration will be determined in good faith by the Committee.

After determining the “Company Stock Price” under Section 4.a. of this Exhibit A, the same rules under the chart under Section 2 of this Exhibit A apply in determining whether any additional “Company Stock Price Targets” are achieved and additional Shares subject to this

Award will become Eligible Shares; provided, however, that if Company Stock Price as determined under Section 4.a. of this Exhibit A is greater than $20.00 but falls between two Company Stock Price Targets set forth in the table under Section 2 of this Exhibit A, the Eligible Shares will be determined based on a linear interpolation using the Company Stock Price Target in the table that is greater than but closest to the Company Stock Price determined under Section 4.a. of this Exhibit A (such price the “Higher Price”) and the amount in the table that is less than but closest to the actual Company Stock Price determined under Section 4.a. of this Exhibit A (such price, the “Lower Price”), and using 660,000 Shares for the Higher Price and 0 Shares for the Lower Price, with such number rounded to the nearest Share (such Share number, the “Incremental Eligible Shares”). For the avoidance of doubt, if, prior to the Acquisition, Shares subject to this Award already have become Eligible Shares based on the achievement of a Company Stock Price Target occurring as of the Achievement Date corresponding to such achievement, such Shares will not again become Eligible Shares with respect to that Company Stock Price Target achievement, but such Shares, to the extent they have not yet vested, shall vest immediately prior to the Acquisition subject to Participant satisfying the Service Condition through such time. Further, and for the avoidance of doubt, if the Per Share Deal is less than $20.00, no Shares will become Eligible Shares immediately prior to an Acquisition.

c. If, after applying the rules in Sections 4.a. and 4.b. of this Exhibit A, additional Shares will become Eligible Shares, then

the Achievement Date shall be the date immediately prior to the Acquisition subject to Participant satisfying the Service Condition; and

ii.

the number of additional Shares that will become Eligible Shares will equal the sum of: (1) all Shares (as determined under the table in Section 2 of this Exhibit A) corresponding to the Company Stock Price achievement(s) in connection with the Acquisition that have not yet become Eligible Shares plus (2) the Incremental Eligible Shares (if any) (such sum, the “Acquisition Eligible Shares”). Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, any remaining Shares that have not become Eligible Shares immediately will be forfeited and Participant will have no further rights with respect to such Shares; and

iii.

the date immediately prior to the Acquisition shall be the Acceleration Event on which such Eligible Shares (and any other unvested Eligible Shares) vest.

For example, assume the Performance Period begins on January 1, 2019 and there is an Acquisition on July 1, 2019 for a Per Share Deal Price of $31.18. Prior to the Acquisition, Company Stock Price Target 1 already was achieved, and such Shares became Eligible Shares and vested. Due to the Acquisition, the Company Stock Price is equal to the Per Share Deal Price ($31.18) and results in Acquisition Eligible Shares of 1,475,760 Shares equal to the sum of:

•

1,320,000 Shares (representing the Shares corresponding to Company Stock Price Targets 2 and 3), plus

•

155,760 Shares (representing 100% of the Incremental Eligible Shares (determined based on linear interpolation between Company Stock Price Targets 3 and 4)).

As a result, on the date immediately prior to the Acquisition, an additional 1,475,760 Shares of the Total Number of Shares set forth in the Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock Award will become Eligible Shares and will vest as of such time.

EXHIBIT B

10B5-1 PLAN

The undersigned hereby consents and agrees that Participant’s Tax Withholding Obligation shall be satisfied by Shares being sold on the undersigned’s behalf pursuant to the procedures set forth below in this 10b5-1 Plan. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in that certain Restricted Stock Award Agreement, dated as of December 12, 2017, by and between Dropbox, Inc. and the undersigned.

Participant hereby irrevocably instructs and authorizes the Company and the Company’s designated broker, or such other broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority reasonably acceptable to the Company for such purpose (the “Broker”), to sell on Participant’s behalf a whole number of Shares (it being understood that such Shares to be sold must have vested pursuant to the terms of this RSA Agreement) sufficient to generate cash proceeds to satisfy Participant’s Tax Withholding Obligation (and any associated broker or other fees); provided that the Company shall not enter into any arrangements with any Broker that would require payment by Participant of broker or other fees in excess of those that are reasonable and customary; provided further that all sales of Shares pursuant to the 10b5-1 Plan shall be at prevailing market prices and in compliance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act, and the Broker shall, and the Company shall cause the Broker to, file all Form 144s on behalf of Participant with respect to the sale of Shares under the 10b5-1 Plan. Participant hereby irrevocably instructs and authorizes the Broker to (i) remit to the Company the cash proceeds necessary to satisfy Participant’s Tax Withholding Obligation, (ii) retain the amount required to cover associated broker or other fees, and (iii) deposit any remaining funds in Participant’s account in accordance with procedures the Company may specify from time to time. Only whole Shares will be sold by the Broker to satisfy Participant’s Tax Withholding Obligation.

This 10b5-1 Plan may be amended, modified, terminated or suspended only with the consent of Participant and the Committee. An amendment or modification may only be made during an “open window period” (or term of similar import describing a period wherein Participant is not precluded by the Company from selling Shares on the open market) applicable to Participant and on which Participant is not aware of any material nonpublic information about the Company or the Shares.

Participant and the Company acknowledge that the 10b5-1 Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(B) under the Exchange Act and to be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1) under the Exchange Act. Participant expressly consents and agrees that he is adopting the 10b5-1 Plan to permit the sale of Shares to cover Participant’s Tax Withholding Obligation consistent with the above. Participant hereby appoints the Company as his agent and attorney-in-fact to instruct the Broker with respect to the number of Shares that must be sold under the 10b5-1 Plan to satisfy Participant’s Tax Withholding Obligation. This 10b5-1 Plan shall be binding on Participant.
