INSULET CORPORATION
2017 STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN
NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
Non-Qualified Stock Option | This Agreement evidences an award of a non-qualified stock option exercisable for such number of shares of Stock set forth on the cover sheet of this Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan. This Option is not intended to be an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code and will be interpreted accordingly. | ||||
Transfer of Option | During your lifetime, only you (or, in the event of your legal incapacity or incompetency, your guardian or legal representative, if authorized by the Company and to the extent such designation is valid under Applicable Laws) may exercise this Option. Other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution (if authorized by the Company and to the extent such designation is valid under Applicable Laws), this Option may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered, whether by operation of law or otherwise, nor may this Option be made subject to execution, attachment, or similar process. If you attempt to do any of these things, you will immediately and automatically forfeit this Option. Notwithstanding these restrictions on transfer, the Committee may authorize, in its sole discretion, the transfer of the vested portion of this Option (in whole or in part) to a member of your immediate family or a trust for the benefit of your immediate family (to the extent such designation is valid under Applicable Laws), subject and pursuant to the terms of the Plan. | ||||
Vesting and Exercisability | This Option shall vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth on the cover sheet of this Agreement. Upon a Vesting Date, any fractional shares shall be rounded to the nearest whole share, but in the event that such rounding convention would otherwise result in your vesting in more than the number of shares of Stock underlying this Option and listed on the cover sheet of this Agreement, any fractional share shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no additional portion of this Option shall vest after your Service has terminated for any reason. For purposes of this Option, a termination of Service will be deemed to have occurred as of the date you are no longer providing services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or otherwise rendering services, or the terms of your employment or service agreement, if any) and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., your Service relationship will not include any contractual notice period or period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or otherwise rendering services or the terms of your employment or service agreement, if any). Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or determined by the Company, (i) your right to vest in this Option, if any, will terminate as of such date, and (ii) the period (if any) during which you may exercise this Option after termination of Service will commence on such date. This Option is only exercisable before it expires and then only with respect to the vested portion. | ||||
2
Death, Disability and Termination in Connection with a Sale Event | If your Service is terminated (i) due to your death or Disability or (ii) within 24 months after a Sale Event by the Company without Cause or by you for Good Reason, this Option shall immediately become fully (100%) vested and exercisable as of your employment termination date. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean that you have complied with the “Good Reason Process” (hereinafter defined) following the occurrence of any of the following events, without your consent: (i) a material diminution in your responsibilities, authority or duties; or (ii) a material reduction in your then current base salary except for across-the-board salary reductions similarly affecting all or substantially all similarly situated employees; or (iii) the relocation of the Company offices at which you are principally employed to a location more than fifty (50) miles from such offices. For purposes of clause (i) hereof, a change in the reporting relationship, or a change in a title will not, by itself, be sufficient to constitute a material diminution of responsibilities, authority or duty. “Good Reason Process” shall mean: (i) you reasonably determine in good faith that a “Good Reason” condition has occurred; (ii) you notify the Company in writing of the occurrence of the Good Reason condition within thirty (30) calendar days of the occurrence of such condition; (iii) you cooperate in good faith with the Company’s efforts, for a period of thirty (30) calendar days following such notice (the “Cure Period”), to remedy the condition; (iv) notwithstanding such efforts, the Good Reason condition continues to exist following the Cure Period; and (v) you terminate your Service relationship within thirty (30) calendar days after the end of the Cure Period. If the Company cures the Good Reason condition during the Cure Period, Good Reason shall be deemed not to have occurred. | ||||
Term | This Option will expire in any event at the close of business at Company headquarters on the day before the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Grant Date, as shown on the cover sheet. This Option will expire earlier if your Service terminates, as described below. | ||||
Termination of Service – Forfeiture of Options | Unless the termination of your Service triggers accelerated vesting or other treatment of this Option pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Plan, or otherwise, you will automatically and immediately forfeit to the Company the unvested portion of this Option in the event your Service terminates for any reason. If your Service is terminated for Cause, then you shall automatically and immediately forfeit to the Company the entire Option (both vested and unvested portions), and this Option shall automatically and immediately expire. | ||||
3
Termination of Service – Expiration of Vested Options | If your Service terminates for any reason, other than death, Disability, or Cause, then the vested portion of this Option will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the ninetieth (90th) calendar day after your employment termination date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, in the event of your Retirement (as defined below), the vested portion of this option will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the third anniversary of the date of your Retirement. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Retirement” shall mean your termination of Service, other than by the Company for Cause, on or after such time as the sum of your age and number of years of continuous Service equals 65, provided you are at least 55 years of age and have completed at least 5 years of continuous Service at the time of termination. To the extent that a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that this Retirement provision is invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, due to relevant age discrimination rules, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such provision to the extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under Applicable Law. If your Service terminates because of your death or Disability, or if you die during the ninety (90)-day period after your termination of employment for any reason (other than Cause), then the vested portion of this Option will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date twelve (12) months after the date of your death or termination for Disability. During that twelve (12)-month period, your estate or heirs may exercise the vested portion of this Option (if authorized by the Company and to the extent such designation is valid under Applicable Laws). | ||||
Leaves of Absence | For purposes of this Agreement, your Service does not terminate when you are on a bona fide leave of absence that was approved by the Company or an Affiliate or Subsidiary who is your employer (the “Employer”) in writing if the terms of the leave provide for continued Service crediting or when continued Service crediting is required by Applicable Laws. Your Service terminates in any event when the approved leave ends unless you immediately return to active employment with the Employer. The Company, in its sole discretion, determines which leaves count for this purpose and when your Service terminates for all purposes under the Plan. | ||||
Notice of Exercise | This Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, to purchase a whole number of vested shares of Stock of not less than one hundred (100) shares, unless the number of vested shares purchased is the total number available for purchase under this Option, by following the procedures set forth in the Plan and in this Agreement. When you wish to exercise this Option, you must exercise in a manner required or permitted by this Agreement. If someone else wants to exercise this Option after your death, that person must prove to the Company’s satisfaction that he or she is entitled to do so. | ||||
4
Form of Payment | When you exercise this Option, you must include payment of the aggregate Option Price for the shares you are purchasing. Subject to any procedures established by the Company, payment may be made in one of the following forms: •By your delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to a licensed securities broker acceptable to the Company to sell shares of Stock and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate Option Price and any withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items (as defined below). •By your delivery of cash or cash equivalent in a manner that is acceptable to the Company. •By the Company’s withholding a number of shares of Stock that would otherwise be issuable to you upon your exercise of this Option. The Fair Market Value of the shares as of the effective date of the exercise will be applied to the Option Price. •To the extent allowed under Applicable Laws, by your surrender of shares of Stock which are already owned by you, which are deemed surrendered by you pursuant to your attestation of ownership to the Company. The Fair Market Value of the shares as of the effective date of the Option exercise will be applied to the Option Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may not tender any form of payment or exercise this Option by any method that the Company determines, in its sole discretion, could violate any Applicable Law, regulation or Company policy or that is otherwise unacceptable to the Company. | ||||
| Evidence of Issuance | The issuance of the shares of Stock upon exercise of this Option shall be evidenced in such a manner as the Company, in its discretion, deems appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry or direct registration or the issuance of one or more Stock certificates. | ||||
| Withholding | Regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, your Employer, the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (the “Tax-Related Items”) is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. You further acknowledge 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 this Option, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of this Option, the issuance of shares of Stock upon exercise of this Option, the subsequent sale of shares of Stock acquired pursuant to such exercise or the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of this Option or any aspect of this Option to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if you are subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. In connection with any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you agree to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. To satisfy any withholding obligations of the Company and/or the Employer with respect to Tax-Related Items, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one (or a combination) of the following: (i) withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company or the Employer; (ii) requiring you to surrender shares of Stock that you previously acquired (only for U.S. taxpayers); (iii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock acquired upon exercise of this Option either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization, without further consent); (iv) requiring you to tender a cash payment to the Company or the Employer in the amount of the Tax-Related Items; and/or (v) withholding from shares of Stock that otherwise would be issued to you when you exercise this Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing if you are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Company will withhold shares of Stock to satisfy any applicable Tax-Related Items withholding upon the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, unless the use of such withholding method is not feasible under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, in which case, the obligation for Tax-Related Items may be satisfied by one or a combination of methods (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above or as otherwise approved by the Committee (as constituted in accordance with Section 3.1.2. of the Plan). Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering minimum statutory withholding amounts or other withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates in your jurisdiction(s). In the event of over-withholding, you may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash (with no entitlement to the equivalent in shares of Stock), or, if not refunded, you may seek a refund from the applicable tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, you may be required to pay additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authorities or to the Company or the Employer. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Stock, for tax purposes, you will be deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Stock subject to this Option, notwithstanding that a number of shares of Stock are held back solely for the purpose of satisfying the Tax-Related Items. Finally, you agree to pay to the Company or your Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or your Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to permit the exercise of this Option or issue or deliver shares of Stock or proceeds from the sale of shares of Stock, if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items. | ||||

Data Privacy | Data Collection and Usage. The Company and any Subsidiaries or Affiliates, including the Employer, may collect, process and use certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social security, social insurance, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of Stock or directorships held in the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, details of all awards or any other entitlement to shares of Stock or equivalent benefits awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor (“Data”), for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The legal basis, where required, for the processing of Data by the Company and the third-party service providers described below is the necessity of the data processing for the Company to perform its contractual obligations under this Agreement and the Company’s legitimate business interest of managing the Plan and generally administering the Awards. California residents please note, the categories of personal information, including sensitive personal information, are (i) identifiers, (ii) characteristics of protected classifications under California or federal law, (iii) professional or employment related information, (iv) social security, driver’s license, state identification card, or passport number, and (v) any personal information that identifies, relates to, describes, or is capable of being associated with a particular individual. The personal information is not sold or shared for cross-context behavioral advertising. The California Consumer Privacy Act Policy is available at Insulet's California Privacy Policy.(1) Plan Administration Service Providers. The Company transfers Data to Fidelity Stock Plan Services, LLC (“Fidelity”), an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. You acknowledge and understand that Fidelity will open an account for you to receive and trade shares of Stock acquired under the Plan and that you will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with Fidelity, with such agreement being a condition to the ability to participate in the Plan. The legal basis for the transfer of Data by the Company to Fidelity is your consent. As a result, in the absence of appropriate safeguards such as standard data protection clauses, the processing of your Data in the United States or, as the case may be, other countries, may not be subject to substantive data processing principles or supervision by data protection authorities. In addition, you may not have enforceable rights regarding the processing of Data in such countries. The Company provides appropriate safeguards for protecting Data that it receives in the United States through its adherence to data transfer agreements entered into between the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates within the EU and other non-U.S. jurisdictions. International Data Transfers. The Company and its service providers are based in the United States. Your country or jurisdiction may have different data privacy laws and protections than the United States. The Company’s legal basis, where required, for the transfer of Data is your consent. Data Retention. The Company will hold and use Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan, or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and securities laws. Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. Participation in the Plan is voluntary and you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. You understand that you may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect for any or no reason. If you do not consent, or if you later seek to revoke your consent, your salary from or employment and career with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing your consent is that the Company would not be able to grant Options or other equity awards to you or administer or maintain your participation in the Plan. Data Subject Rights. You may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in your jurisdiction. Depending on where you are based, such rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of Data the Company processes, (ii) rectification of incorrect Data, (iii) deletion of Data, (iv) restrictions on processing of Data, (v) portability of Data, (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in your jurisdiction, and/or (vii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data. To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, you can contact your local human resources representative. Alternative Basis for Data Processing/Transfer. You understand that in the future, the Company may rely on a different legal basis for the processing and/or transfer of Data and/or request that you provide another data privacy consent form. Upon request of the Company or the Employer, you agree to provide an executed data privacy consent form (or any other agreements or consents) that the Company and/or the Employer may deem necessary to obtain from you for the purpose of administering your participation in the Plan in compliance with the data privacy laws in your country, either now or in the future. You understand and agree that you will not be able to participate in the Plan if you fail to provide any such consent or agreement requested by the Company and/or the Employer. | ||||

Compliance with Law | Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan or this Agreement, unless there is an available exemption from registration, qualification or other legal requirement applicable to the shares of Stock, the Company shall not be required to permit the exercise of this Option and/or delivery of shares of Stock prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the shares of Stock under any U.S. or non-U.S. local, state or federal securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or of any other governmental body, or prior to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any U.S. or non-U.S. local, state or federal governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable. You understand that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the shares of Stock with the SEC or any other state or non-U.S. securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of shares of Stock. Further, you agree that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend this Agreement to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws applicable to the issuance of shares of Stock. | ||||
Stockholder Rights | You, or your estate or heirs, do not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of Stock underlying this Option unless and until the shares of Stock underlying this Option have been issued upon exercise of this Option and either a certificate evidencing your Stock has been issued or an appropriate entry has been made on the Company’s books. Except as described in the Plan, no adjustments are made for dividends, distributions, or other rights if the applicable record date occurs before your stock certificate is issued (or an appropriate book entry is made). | ||||
| Adjustments | In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend, or a similar change in the Stock, the number of shares of Stock covered by this Option shall be adjusted pursuant to the Plan. This Option shall be subject to the terms of the agreement of merger, liquidation, or reorganization in the event the Company is subject to such corporate activity in accordance with the terms of the Plan. | ||||
| Clawback | This Option and the shares of Stock that may be issued hereunder (including the proceeds from any sale of such shares of such Stock), are subject to mandatory repayment by you to the Company to the extent you are or in the future become subject to the Company’s Policy for Recoupment of Incentive Compensation or any other Company “clawback” or recoupment policy or Applicable Law that requires the repayment by you to the Company of compensation paid by the Company or your Employer to you. In order to satisfy any recoupment obligation arising under any clawback or compensation recovery policy of the Company or otherwise under applicable laws, rules, regulations or stock exchange listing standards, among other things, you expressly and explicitly authorize the Company to issue instructions, on your behalf, to Fidelity or any other brokerage firm or stock plan service provider engaged by the Company to hold any shares of Stock or other amounts acquired pursuant to the Option to re-convey, transfer or otherwise return amounts representing any financial gain you realized through exercise of the Option to the Company upon the Company's enforcement of any clawback or compensation recovery policy. Without limiting the foregoing, if the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws and you knowingly engaged in the misconduct, were grossly negligent in engaging in the misconduct, knowingly failed to prevent the misconduct, or were grossly negligent in failing to prevent the misconduct, you shall reimburse the Company the amount of any payment in settlement of this Option earned or accrued during the twelve (12)-month period following the first public issuance or filing with the SEC (whichever first occurred) of the financial document that contained such material noncompliance. | ||||
8
Appendix | Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, this Option shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in the Appendix that are or may be applicable to you because of your work location and/or place of residence. Moreover, if you relocate to one of the countries included in the Appendix, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to you to the extent that the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. The Appendix constitutes part of this Agreement. | ||||
No Advice Regarding Grant | The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding your participation in the Plan, or the acquisition or sale of shares of Stock. You should consult with your own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding your participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan. | ||||
Governing Law; Venue | This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Delaware, other than any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. For purposes of any action, lawsuit or other proceedings brought to enforce this Agreement, relating to it, or arising from it, you hereby submit to and consent to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Middlesex County, Massachusetts, or the federal courts for the U.S. for the District of Massachusetts, and no other courts, where this grant is made and/or to be performed. | ||||

Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws | You understand that you may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, in applicable jurisdictions, including but not limited to the United States, your country and any stock plan service provider’s country, which may affect your ability, directly or indirectly, to purchase or sell, or attempt to sell or otherwise dispose of shares of Stock, rights to shares of Stock (e.g., Options) or rights linked to the value of shares of Stock during such times as you are considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in the applicable jurisdiction). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders you placed before you possessed inside information. Furthermore, you could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party, including fellow employees (other than on a “need to know” basis), and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. It is your responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions and you should consult with your personal legal advisor on this matter. | ||||

Without limitation to the “Withholding” section of this Agreement, you agree that you are liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenant to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Company or, if different, the Employer or by HM’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).

INSULET CORPORATION
2017 STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
| Restricted Stock Units | This Agreement evidences an award of RSUs in the number set forth on the cover sheet of this Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan. | ||||
| Transfer of Unvested RSUs | RSUs may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered, whether by operation of law or otherwise, nor may the RSUs be made subject to execution, attachment, or similar process. If you attempt to do any of these things, you will immediately and automatically forfeit the RSUs. | ||||
| Vesting | The RSUs covered by this Agreement shall vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth on the cover sheet of this Agreement. Upon a Vesting Date, any fractional shares shall be rounded to the nearest whole share, but in the event that such rounding convention would otherwise result in your vesting in more than the number of shares of Stock underlying the RSUs covered by this Agreement, any fractional share shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no additional RSUs will vest after your Service has terminated for any reason. For purposes of the RSUs, a termination of Service will be deemed to have occurred as of the date you are no longer providing active services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or otherwise rendering services, or the terms of your employment or service agreement, if any) and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., your Service relationship will not include any contractual notice period or period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or otherwise rendering services or the terms of your employment or service agreement, if any). | ||||
| Leaves of Absence | For purposes of this Agreement, your Service does not terminate when you are on a bona fide leave of absence that was approved by the Company or an Affiliate or Subsidiary who is your employer (the “Employer”) in writing if the terms of the leave provide for continued Service crediting or when continued Service crediting is required by Applicable Laws. Your Service terminates in any event when the approved leave ends unless you immediately return to active employment with the Employer. The Company, in its sole discretion, determines which leaves count for this purpose and when your Service terminates for all purposes under the Plan. | ||||
| Death, Disability and Termination in Connection with a Sale Event | If your Service is terminated (i) due to your death or Disability or (ii) within 24 months after a Sale Event by the Company without Cause or by you for Good Reason, the RSUs covered by this Agreement shall immediately become fully (100%) vested as of your employment termination date. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean that you have complied with the “Good Reason Process” (hereinafter defined) following the occurrence of any of the following events, without your consent: (i) a material diminution in your responsibilities, authority or duties; or (ii) a material reduction in your then current base salary except for across-the-board salary reductions similarly affecting all or substantially all similarly situated employees; or (iii) the relocation of the Company offices at which you are principally employed to a location more than fifty (50) miles from such offices. “Good Reason Process” shall mean: (i) you reasonably determine in good faith that a “Good Reason” condition has occurred; (ii) you notify the Company in writing of the occurrence of the Good Reason condition within thirty (30) calendar days of the occurrence of such condition; (iii) you cooperate in good faith with the Company’s efforts, for a period of thirty (30) calendar days following such notice (the “Cure Period”), to remedy the condition; (iv) notwithstanding such efforts, the Good Reason condition continues to exist following the Cure Period; and (v) you terminate your Service relationship within thirty (30) calendar days after the end of the Cure Period. If the Company cures the Good Reason condition during the Cure Period, Good Reason shall be deemed not to have occurred. | ||||
| Forfeiture of Unvested RSUs | You will automatically forfeit to the Company all of the unvested RSUs as of your termination of Service. | ||||
| Delivery | Delivery of the shares of Stock represented by your vested RSUs shall be made within thirty (30) calendar days of the applicable Vesting Date or, if earlier, a termination of your Service that results in the RSUs becoming vested. | ||||
| Evidence of Issuance | The issuance of the shares of Stock underlying the RSUs covered by this Agreement shall be evidenced in such a manner as the Company, in its discretion, deems appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry or direct registration or the issuance of one or more Stock certificates. You will have no further rights with regard to a RSU once the share of Stock related to such RSU has been issued to you. | ||||
| Withholding | Regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, your Employer, the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (the “Tax-Related Items”) is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. You further acknowledge 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 RSUs, including but not limited to, the grant or vesting of the RSUs, the issuance of shares of Stock upon vesting of the RSUs, the subsequent sale of shares of Stock acquired pursuant to such vesting or the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the RSUs or any aspect of Plan to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if you are subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. In connection with any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you agree to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. To satisfy any withholding obligations of the Company and/or the Employer with respect to Tax-Related Items, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one (or a combination) of the following: (i) withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company or the Employer; (ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock acquired upon settlement of the RSUs either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); (iii) requiring you to tender a cash payment to the Company or the Employer in the amount of the Tax-Related Items; and/or (iv) withholding shares of Stock otherwise deliverable upon settlement of the RSUs. Notwithstanding the foregoing if you are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Company will withhold shares of Stock to satisfy any applicable Tax-Related Items withholding upon the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, unless the use of such withholding method is not feasible under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, in which case, the obligation for Tax-Related Items may be satisfied by one or a combination of methods (i), (ii) and (iii) above or as otherwise approved by the Committee (as constituted in accordance with Section 3.1.2. of the Plan). Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering minimum statutory withholding amounts or other withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates in your jurisdiction(s). In the event of over-withholding, you may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash (with no entitlement to the equivalent in shares of Stock), or, if not refunded, you may seek a refund from the applicable tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, you may be required to pay additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authorities or to the Company or the Employer. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Stock, for tax purposes, you will be deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Stock subject to the RSUs, notwithstanding that a number of shares of Stock are held back solely for the purpose of satisfying the Tax-Related Items. Finally, you agree to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan and that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue and/or deliver shares of Stock or proceeds from the sale of shares of Stock, if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items. | ||||

| Data Privacy | Data Collection and Usage. The Company and any Subsidiaries or Affiliates, including the Employer, may collect, process and use certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social security, social insurance, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of Stock or directorships held in the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, details of all awards or any other entitlement to shares of Stock or equivalent benefits awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor (“Data”), for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The legal basis, where required, for the processing of Data by the Company and the third-party service providers described below is the necessity of the data processing for the Company to perform its contractual obligations under this Agreement and the Company’s legitimate business interest of managing the Plan and generally administering the Awards. California residents please note, the categories of personal information, including sensitive personal information, are (i) identifiers, (ii) characteristics of protected classifications under California or federal law, (iii) professional or employment related information, (iv) social security, driver’s license, state identification card, or passport number, and (v) any personal information that identifies, relates to, describes, or is capable of being associated with a particular individual. The personal information is not sold or shared for cross-context behavioral advertising. The California Consumer Privacy Act Policy is available at Insulet's California Privacy Policy(1). Plan Administration Service Providers. The Company transfers Data to Fidelity Stock Plan Services, LLC (“Fidelity”), an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. You acknowledge and understand that Fidelity will open an account for you to receive and trade shares of Stock acquired under the Plan and that you will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with Fidelity, with such agreement being a condition to the ability to participate in the Plan. The legal basis for the transfer of Data by the Company to Fidelity is your consent. As a result, in the absence of appropriate safeguards such as standard data protection clauses, the processing of your Data in the United States or, as the case may be, other countries, may not be subject to substantive data processing principles or supervision by data protection authorities. In addition, you may not have enforceable rights regarding the processing of Data in such countries. The Company provides appropriate safeguards for protecting Data that it receives in the United States through its adherence to data transfer agreements entered into between the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates within the EU and other non-U.S. jurisdictions. International Data Transfers. The Company and its service providers are based in the United States. Your country or jurisdiction may have different data privacy laws and protections than the United States. The Company’s legal basis, where required, for the transfer of Data is your consent. Data Retention. The Company will hold and use Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan, or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and securities laws. Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. Participation in the Plan is voluntary and you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. You understand that you may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect for any or no reason. If you do not consent, or if you later seek to revoke your consent, your salary from or employment and career with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing your consent is that the Company would not be able to grant RSUs or other equity awards to you or administer or maintain your participation in the Plan. Data Subject Rights. You may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in your jurisdiction. Depending on where you are based, such rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of Data the Company processes, (ii) rectification of incorrect Data, (iii) deletion of Data, (iv) restrictions on processing of Data, (v) portability of Data, (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in your jurisdiction, and/or (vii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data. To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, you can contact your local human resources representative. Alternative Basis for Data Processing/Transfer. You understand that in the future, the Company may rely on a different legal basis for the processing and/or transfer of Data and/or request that you provide another data privacy consent form. Upon request of the Company or the Employer, you agree to provide an executed data privacy consent form (or any other agreements or consents) that the Company and/or the Employer may deem necessary to obtain from you for the purpose of administering your participation in the Plan in compliance with the data privacy laws in your country, either now or in the future. You understand and agree that you will not be able to participate in the Plan if you fail to provide any such consent or agreement requested by the Company and/or the Employer. | ||||

| Compliance with Law | Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan or this Agreement, unless there is an available exemption from registration, qualification or other legal requirement applicable to the shares of Stock, the Company shall not be required to issue any shares of Stock to you prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the shares of Stock under any U.S. or non-U.S. local, state or federal securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or of any other governmental body, or prior to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any U.S. or non-U.S. local, state or federal governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable. You understand that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the shares of Stock with the SEC or any other state or non-U.S. securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of shares of Stock. Further, you agree that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend the Agreement to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws applicable to the issuance of shares of Stock. | ||||
| Stockholder Rights | You, or your estate or heirs, do not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to any RSU unless and until the share of Stock underlying the RSU has been issued and either a certificate evidencing your Stock has been issued or an appropriate entry has been made on the Company’s books. | ||||
| Adjustments | In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend, or a similar change in the Stock, the number of RSUs covered by this Agreement shall be adjusted pursuant to the Plan. The RSUs shall be subject to the terms of the agreement of merger, liquidation, or reorganization in the event the Company is subject to such corporate activity in accordance with the terms of the Plan. | ||||
| Clawback | The RSUs covered by this Agreement, and the shares of Stock that may be issued hereunder (including the proceeds from any sale of such shares of Stock), are subject to mandatory repayment by you to the Company to the extent you are or in the future become subject to the Company’s Policy for Recoupment of Incentive Compensation or any other Company “clawback” or recoupment policy or Applicable Law that requires the repayment by you to the Company of compensation paid by the Company or your Employer to you. In order to satisfy any recoupment obligation arising under any clawback or compensation recovery policy of the Company or otherwise under applicable laws, rules, regulations or stock exchange listing standards, among other things, you expressly and explicitly authorize the Company to issue instructions, on your behalf, to Fidelity or any other brokerage firm or stock plan service provider engaged by the Company to hold any shares of Stock or other amounts acquired pursuant to the RSU Award to re-convey, transfer or otherwise return such shares of Stock and/or other amounts to the Company upon the Company’s enforcement of any clawback or compensation recovery policy. Without limiting the foregoing, if the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws and you knowingly engaged in the misconduct, were grossly negligent in engaging in the misconduct, knowingly failed to prevent the misconduct, or were grossly negligent in failing to prevent the misconduct, you shall reimburse the Company the amount of any payment in settlement of this RSU Award earned or accrued during the twelve (12)-month period following the first public issuance or filing with the SEC (whichever first occurred) of the financial document that contained such material noncompliance. | ||||
| Appendix | Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement, the RSUs covered by this Agreement shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in the Appendix that are or may be applicable to you because of your work location and/or place of residence. Moreover, if you relocate to one of the countries included in the Appendix, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to you, to the extent that the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. The Appendix constitutes part of this Agreement. | ||||
No Advice Regarding Grant | The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding your participation in the Plan, or the acquisition or sale of shares of Stock. You should consult with your own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding your participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan. | ||||
| Governing Law; Venue | This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Delaware, other than any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. For purposes of any action, lawsuit or other proceedings brought to enforce this Agreement, relating to it, or arising from it, you hereby submit to and consent to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Middlesex County, Massachusetts, or the federal courts for the U.S. for the District of Massachusetts, and no other courts, where this grant is made and/or to be performed. | ||||

This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding the RSUs covered by this Agreement. Any prior agreements, commitments, or negotiations concerning the RSUs covered by this Agreement are replaced and superseded; provided, however, that if this Agreement or the Plan provide a level of benefits with respect to the RSUs covered by this Agreement that differs from the level of benefits provided under the Insulet Corporation Amended and Restated Executive Severance Plan or the Insulet Corporation Severance Plan, then the terms of the plan that provides for the more favorable benefit to you shall govern. | ||||
| Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws | You understand that you may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, in applicable jurisdictions, including but not limited to the U.S., your country and any stock plan service provider’s country, which may affect your ability, directly or indirectly, to purchase or sell, or attempt to sell or otherwise dispose of shares of Stock, rights to shares of Stock (e.g., RSUs) or rights linked to the value of shares of Stock during such times as you are considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in the applicable jurisdiction). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders you placed before you possessed inside information. Furthermore, you could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party, including fellow employees (other than on a “need to know” basis), and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. It is your responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions and you should consult with your personal legal advisor on this matter. | ||||
| Language | You acknowledge that you are sufficiently proficient in English, or have consulted with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient in English, so as to allow you to understand the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you have received this Agreement, or any other document(s) related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control, unless otherwise explicitly required by Applicable Laws. | ||||
| Imposition of Other Requirements | The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on your participation in the Plan and on any shares of Stock acquired under the Plan, if the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require you to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. | ||||
| Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Requirements | You acknowledge that there may be certain foreign asset and/or account reporting requirements which may affect your ability to acquire or hold shares of Stock or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends paid on shares of Stock) in a brokerage or bank account outside your country. You may be required to report such accounts, assets or related transactions to the tax or other authorities in your country. You also may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of your participation in the Plan to your country within a certain time after receipt. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to comply with such regulations, and you should speak to your personal legal advisor on this matter. | ||||
| Severability | The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more of the provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions will nevertheless be binding and enforceable | ||||
| Waiver | You acknowledge that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by you or any other Grantee. | ||||
| Electronic Delivery | By accepting the RSUs covered by this Agreement, you consent to receive documents related to such RSUs by electronic delivery and, if requested, to agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company. Your consent shall remain in effect throughout your term of Service and thereafter until you withdraw such consent in writing to the Company. | ||||
| Code Section 409A | The grant of RSUs covered by this Agreement is intended to be exempt from or, to the extent subject thereto, to comply with Code Section 409A (“Section 409A”), and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement will be interpreted and administered to be in compliance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, neither the Company, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, the Board, nor the Committee will have any obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any excise tax or penalty on you under Section 409A, and neither the Company, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, the Board, nor the Committee will have any liability to you for such tax or penalty. For purposes of the Agreement, a termination of Service only occurs upon an event that would be a Separation from Service. Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, if at the time of your Separation from Service, (i) you are a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time), and (ii) the Company makes a good faith determination that an amount payable on account of such Separation from Service to you constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six (6)-month delay rule set forth in Section 409A in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Section 409A (the “Delay Period”), then the Company will not settle the vesting of RSUs subject to this Agreement that are considered deferred compensation on the otherwise scheduled Vesting Date but will instead settle such vesting on the first trading day that occurs immediately after the expiration of the Delay Period (or upon your death, if earlier) (“Delayed Settlement Date”), and the value delivered to you shall equal the greater of (i) the product of the number of RSUs subject to this Agreement for which settlement is delayed times the closing price of a share of Stock as reported on NASDAQ for your Separation from Service date; and (ii) the product of the number of RSUs subject to this Agreement for which settlement is delayed times the closing price of a share of Stock as reported on NASDAQ for the Delayed Settlement Date. | ||||
By electronically accepting this Agreement, you agree to all of the terms and conditions described in this Agreement and in the Plan.

Terms and Conditions
Form of Delivery. Notwithstanding any discretion in the Plan or this Agreement, any RSUs that vest will be paid to you in whole shares. For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances will the RSUs be settled in cash.
Withholding. The following supplements “Withholding” section of this Agreement:
Without limitation to the “Withholding” section of this Agreement, you agree that you are liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenant to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Company or, if different, the Employer or by HM’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). You also agree to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and, if different, the Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority) on your behalf.

In this case, the Tax-Related Items not collected or paid by you, may constitute an additional benefit to you on which additional income tax and National Insurance contributions (“NICs”) may be payable. You understand that you will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for paying to the Company and/or the Employer (as appropriate) the amount of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which may also be recovered from you by any of the means referred to in the “Withholding” section of this Agreement.

You further agree to execute such other joint elections as may be required between you and any successor to the Company or the Employer. You further agree
that the Company or the Employer may collect the Employer NICs from you by any of the means set forth in the “Withholding” section of this Agreement.

Exhibit 10.3
INSULET CORPORATION
2017 STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN
PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
Name of Grantee: «First__Name» «Last__Name»
Number of Restricted Stock Units
Granted: ____«Units_Granted»_____(the “Target Award”)
Grant Date: «Grant__Date»
Pursuant to the Insulet Corporation 2017 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), Insulet Corporation (the “Company”) hereby grants an award under Section 10 of the Plan of the target number of Restricted Stock Units listed above (an “Award”) to the Grantee. Each Restricted Stock Unit shall relate to one share of Company common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Stock”), subject to the restrictions and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan. The actual number of Restricted Stock Units to be earned by the Grantee, if any, may be more or less than the target number. This Award is governed by this Performance Stock Unit Agreement, including Appendix A and Appendix B attached hereto (this “Agreement”) and the Plan.
1.Acceptance of Award. The Grantee shall have no rights with respect to this Award unless the Grantee accepts this Award.
2.Restrictions on Transfer of Award. The Grantee may not sell, transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise encumber or dispose of this Award, and any shares of Stock issuable with respect to this Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of until (i) the Restricted Stock Units have vested pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and (ii) shares of Stock have been issued to the Grantee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
3.Vesting of Restricted Stock Units. The Restricted Stock Units covered by this Agreement are subject to performance-based vesting as described in Appendix A, which must be satisfied before the Restricted Stock Units become vested. The number of Restricted Stock Units that may be earned in accordance with this Agreement, if any, may be more or less than the Target Award. In no event will the number of Restricted Stock Units that become vested hereunder exceed 250% of the Target Award.
4.Termination of Service Relationship. If the Grantee’s Service Relationship (as defined in Appendix A) with the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated prior to the vesting or termination of this Award, the following shall occur:
a)Termination Due to Death or Disability. If the Grantee’s Service Relationship terminates by reason of the Grantee’s death or Disability on or prior to the last day of the Performance Period (as defined in Appendix A), 100% of the Target Award shall be
deemed earned by the Grantee and shall become fully vested on the date of such termination. If the Grantee’s Service Relationship terminates by reason of the Grantee’s death or Disability after the last day of the Performance Period (as defined in Appendix A), the number of Restricted Stock Units earned by the Grantee shall be determined in accordance with the terms of Appendix A and the full amount of the Award so earned shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable on the later of the date of such termination or the Determination Date (as defined in Appendix A).
b)Termination Other Than for Death or Disability. If the Grantee’s Service Relationship terminates for any reason other than the Grantee’s death or Disability, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in the Plan, the entire Award shall automatically and without notice terminate, be forfeited and be and become null and void, and neither the Grantee nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such forfeited Restricted Stock Units.
Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or in the Plan, for purposes of the Award, a termination of the Grantee’s Service Relationship will be deemed to have occurred as of the date the Grantee is no longer providing active services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee is employed or otherwise rendering services, or the terms of the Grantee’s employment or service agreement, if any) and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., the Grantee’s Service Relationship will not include any contractual notice period or period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee is employed or otherwise rendering services or the terms of the Grantee’s employment or service agreement, if any). The Committee shall have exclusive discretion to determine when the Grantee’s Service Relationship terminates for purposes of this Award (including when the Grantee is no longer considered to be providing Service while on a leave of absence).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted under Applicable Laws, upon the Grantee’s Retirement (as defined below), a pro-rata amount (based on the number of days the Grantee was employed during the Performance Period) of the Restricted Stock Units shall vest on the last day of the Performance Period, subject to achievement of the performance targets set forth in Appendix A hereto (i.e., based on the Company’s actual performance). For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Retirement” shall mean a Grantee’s termination of Service, other than by the Company for Cause, on or after such time as the sum of the Grantee’s age and number of years of continuous Service equals 65, provided that at the time of termination, the Grantee is at least 55 years of age and has completed at least 5 years of continuous Service.
To the extent that a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that the above provision is invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, due to relevant age discrimination rules, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such provision to the extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.
c)Termination in Connection with a Sale Event. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4(b) above, if, within 24 months after a Sale Event, the Company terminates the Grantee’s Service Relationship without Cause or the Grantee terminates the Grantee’s Service Relationship for Good Reason (such termination is referred to herein as a “Qualifying Termination”), this Award shall vest as follows: (i) if the Qualifying Termination occurs on or before the last day of the Performance Period (as defined in Appendix A), 100% of the Target Award shall be deemed earned by the Grantee and shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable as of the date of the Qualifying Termination; and (ii) if the Qualifying Termination occurs after the last day of the Performance Period (as defined in Appendix A), the number of Restricted Stock Units earned by the Grantee shall be determined in accordance with the terms of Appendix A and the full amount of the Award earned shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable as of the later of the date of the Qualifying Termination or the Determination Date.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean that the Grantee has complied with the “Good Reason Process” (hereinafter defined) following the occurrence of any of the following events, without the Grantee's consent: (i) a material diminution in the Grantee’s responsibilities, authority or duties; or (ii) a material reduction in the Grantee’s then current base salary except for across-the-board salary reductions similarly affecting all or substantially all similarly situated employees; or (iii) the relocation of the Company offices at which the Grantee is principally employed to a location more than fifty (50) miles from such offices. For purposes of clause (i) of the foregoing sentence, a change in a reporting relationship, or a change in a title will not, by itself, be sufficient to constitute a material diminution of responsibilities, authority or duty. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason Process” shall mean: (A) the Grantee reasonably determines in good faith that a circumstance described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the definition of “Good Reason” has occurred; (B) the Grantee notifies the Company in writing of the occurrence of such circumstance within thirty (30) calendar days of the occurrence of such circumstance; (C) the Grantee cooperates in good faith with the Company’s efforts, for a period of thirty (30) calendar days following such notice (the “Cure Period”), to remedy such circumstance; (D) notwithstanding such efforts, such circumstance continues to exist following the Cure Period; and (E) the Grantee terminates the Grantee’s Service Relationship within thirty (30) calendar days after the end of the Cure Period. If, during the Cure Period, the Company cures the circumstance that gives rise to the Good Reason Process, Good Reason shall be deemed not to have occurred.
5.Issuance of Shares of Stock. As soon as practicable following the earlier of the Determination Date or the date the Restricted Stock Units become vested in accordance with Section 4(a), 4(b) or 4(c) (but in no event later than two and one half months after the end of the year in which the earliest of such dates occurs), the Company shall issue to the Grantee the number of shares of Stock equal to the aggregate number of Restricted Stock Units earned by the Grantee that have vested pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on such date and the Grantee shall thereafter have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to such shares, including voting and dividend rights (if applicable), and such shares of Stock shall not be restricted by the provisions hereof.
6.Incorporation of Plan. The text of the Plan is incorporated in this Agreement by reference. Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in the Plan and have the meaning set forth in the Plan. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between the Grantee and the Company regarding the Restricted Stock Units covered by this Agreement. Any prior agreements, commitments, or negotiations concerning the Restricted Stock Units covered by this Agreement are replaced and superseded; provided, however, that if this Agreement or the Plan provide a level of benefits with respect to the Restricted Stock Units covered by this Agreement that differs from the level of benefits provided under the Insulet Corporation Amended and Restated Executive Severance Plan or the Insulet Corporation Severance Plan, then the terms of the plan that provides for the more favorable benefit to the Grantee shall govern.
7.Tax Withholding. Regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Affiliate or Subsidiary that is Grantee’s employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Grantee (the “Tax-Related Items”) is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Grantee further acknowledges 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 Restricted Stock Units, including but not limited to, the grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the issuance of shares of Stock upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of shares of Stock acquired pursuant to such vesting or the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the Plan to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Grantee is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
In connection with any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Grantee agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. To satisfy any withholding obligations of the Company and/or the Employer with respect to Tax-Related Items, the Grantee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one (or a combination) of the following:
(i)withholding from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid by the Company or the Employer;
(ii)withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Grantee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent);
(iii)requiring the Grantee to tender a cash payment to the Company or the Employer in the amount of the Tax-Related Items; and/or
(iv)withholding shares of Stock otherwise deliverable upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.
Notwithstanding the foregoing if the Grantee is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Company will withhold shares of Stock to satisfy any applicable Tax-Related Items withholding upon the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, unless the use of such withholding method is not feasible under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, in which case, the obligation for Tax-Related Items may be satisfied by one or a combination of methods (i), (ii) and (iii) above or as otherwise approved by the Committee (as constituted in accordance with Section 3.1.2. of the Plan).
Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering minimum statutory withholding amounts or other withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates in the Grantee’s jurisdiction(s). In the event of over-withholding, the Grantee may receive a refund over any over-withheld amount in cash (with no entitlement to the equivalent in shares of Stock), or, if not refunded, the Grantee may seek a refund from the applicable tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, the Grantee may be required to pay additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authorities or to the Company or the Employer. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Stock, for tax purposes, the Grantee will be deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of shares of Stock are held back solely for the purpose of satisfying the Tax-Related Items.
Finally, the Grantee agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue and/or deliver shares of Stock or proceeds from the sale of shares of Stock, if the Grantee fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
8.Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner that all provisions relating to the settlement of the Award are exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A as “short-term deferrals” as described in Code Section 409A.
9.Nature of Grant. In accepting the Award, the Grantee understands and agrees that: (a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature, and the Company may amend, modify, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan; (b) the Plan is operated and the Restricted Stock Units are granted solely by the Company, and only the Company is a party to this Agreement; accordingly, any rights the Grantee may have under this Agreement, including related to the Restricted Stock Unit, may be raised only against the Company and not any Subsidiary or Affiliate (including, but not limited to, the Employer); (c) the grant of Award is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Restricted Stock Units or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been granted in the past; (d) all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Units or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (e) this Agreement does not give the Grantee the right to remain
retained or employed by the Company or Employer in any capacity; (f) the Company and the Grantee’s Employer (or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates) reserve the right to terminate the Grantee’s Service Relationship at any time and for any reason, in accordance with Applicable Laws; (g) if the Grantee is not providing Service to the Company or Employer, the Award grant does not establish an employment or other Service Relationship with the Company; (h) the Grantee is voluntarily participating in the Plan; (i) the Restricted Stock Units and the shares of Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income from and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation; (j) the Restricted Stock Units and the shares of Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income from and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of, without limitation, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, holiday pay, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar mandatory payments; (k) the future value of the shares of Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Units is unknown, indeterminable, and cannot be predicted with certainty; (l) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from the forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units or recovery by the Company of any shares of Stock resulting from the (i) termination of the Grantee’s Service Relationship (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment or other laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee is employed or otherwise rendering services, or the terms of the Grantee’s employment or service agreement, if any) and/or (ii) the application of any recoupment, recovery or clawback policy, as described in Section 23 of this Agreement; (m) unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Award and shares of Stock acquired under the Plan, and the income from and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, any Service the Grantee may provide as a director of any Subsidiary or Affiliate; (n) unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Award and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Restricted Stock Units transferred to, or assumed by, another company, nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the shares of Stock; and (o) the following provisions shall be applicable only to employees outside the U.S.: (i) the Restricted Stock Units and the shares of Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income from and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for any purpose; and (ii) neither the Company, the Employer, nor any other Subsidiary or Affiliate shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Grantee’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Restricted Stock Units or of any amounts due to the Grantee upon vesting or the subsequent sale of shares of Stock acquired under the Plan.
10.Compliance with Law. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan or this Agreement, unless there is an available exemption from registration, qualification or other legal requirement applicable to the shares of Stock, the Company shall not be required to issue any shares of Stock to the Grantee prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the shares of Stock under any U.S. or non-U.S. local, state or federal securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or of any other governmental body, or prior to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any U.S. or non-U.S. local, state or federal governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable. The Grantee understands that the Company is under no obligation to
register or qualify the shares of Stock with the SEC or any other state or non-U.S. securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of shares of Stock. Further, the Grantee agrees that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend this Agreement to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws applicable to the issuance of shares of Stock.
11.Data Privacy.
Data Collection and Usage. The Company and any Subsidiaries or Affiliates, including the Employer, may collect, process and use certain personal information about the Grantee, including, but not limited to, the Grantee’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social security, social insurance, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of Stock or directorships held in the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, details of all awards or any other entitlement to shares of Stock or equivalent benefits awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor (“Data”), for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The legal basis, where required, for the processing of Data by the Company and the third-party service providers described below is the necessity of the data processing for the Company to perform its contractual obligations under the Agreement and the Company’s legitimate business interest of managing the Plan and generally administering the Awards.
California residents please note, the categories of personal information, including sensitive personal information, are (i) identifiers, (ii) characteristics of protected classifications under California or federal law, (iii) professional or employment related information, (iv) social security, driver’s license, state identification card, or passport number, and (v) any personal information that identifies, relates to, describes, or is capable of being associated with a particular individual. The personal information is not sold or shared for cross-context behavioral advertising. The California Consumer Privacy Act Policy is available at Insulet's California Privacy Policy(1).

Plan Administration Service Providers. The Company transfers Data to Fidelity Stock Plan Services, LLC (“Fidelity”), an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Grantee acknowledges and understands that Fidelity will open an account for the Grantee to receive and trade shares of Stock acquired under the Plan and that the Grantee will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with Fidelity, with such agreement being a condition to the ability to participate in the Plan. The legal basis for the transfer of Data by the Company to Fidelity is the Grantee’s consent. As a result, in the absence of appropriate safeguards such as standard data protection clauses, the processing of the Grantee’s Data in the United States or, as the case may be, other countries, may not be subject to substantive data processing principles or supervision by data protection authorities. In addition, the Grantee may not have enforceable rights regarding the processing of Data in such countries. The Company provides appropriate safeguards for protecting Data that it receives in the United States through its adherence to data transfer agreements entered into between the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates within the EU and other non-U.S. jurisdictions.
International Data Transfers. The Company and its service providers are based in the United States. The Grantee’s country or jurisdiction may have different data privacy laws and protections than the United States. The Company’s legal basis, where required, for the transfer of Data is the Grantee’s consent.
Data Retention. The Company will hold and use Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and securities laws.
Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. Participation in the Plan is voluntary and the Grantee is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. The Grantee understands that he or she may withdraw the consent at any time with future effect for any or no reason. If the Grantee does not consent, or if the Grantee later seeks to revoke his or her consent, the Grantee’s salary from or employment and career with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Grantee’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant Restricted Stock Units or other equity awards to the Grantee or administer or maintain the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.
Data Subject Rights. The Grantee may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in the Grantee’s jurisdiction. Depending on where the Grantee is based, such rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of Data the Company processes, (ii) rectification of incorrect Data, (iii) deletion of Data, (iv) restrictions on processing of Data, (v) portability of Data, (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Grantee’s jurisdiction, and/or (vii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data. To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, the Grantee can contact his or her local human resources representative.
Alternative Basis for Data Processing/Transfer.

16.Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Requirements. The Grantee acknowledges that there may be certain foreign asset and/or account reporting requirements which may affect his or her ability to acquire or hold shares of Stock or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends paid on shares of Stock) in a brokerage or bank account outside the Grantee’s country. The Grantee may be required to report such accounts, assets or related transactions to the tax or other authorities in his or her country.

In order to satisfy any recoupment obligation arising under any clawback or compensation recovery policy of the Company or otherwise under applicable laws, rules, regulations or stock exchange listing standards, among other things, the Grantee expressly and explicitly authorizes the Company to issue instructions, on the Grantee’s behalf, to Fidelity or any other brokerage firm or stock plan service provider engaged by the Company to hold any shares of Stock or other amounts acquired pursuant to the Award to re-convey, transfer or otherwise return such shares of
Stock and/or other amounts to the Company upon the Company’s enforcement of any clawback or compensation recovery policy.
Without limiting the foregoing, if the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws and the Grantee knowingly engaged in the misconduct, was grossly negligent in engaging in the misconduct, knowingly failed to prevent the misconduct, or was grossly negligent in failing to prevent the misconduct, the Grantee shall reimburse the Company the amount of any payment in settlement of the Award earned or accrued during the twelve (12)-month period following the first public issuance or filing with the SEC (whichever first occurred) of the financial document that contained such material noncompliance.

In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Grantee’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Grantee of any particular result. Accordingly, the Grantee are advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country of residence may apply to his or her personal situation.
If the Grantee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which he or she is currently residing and/or working, transfers employment and/or residency to another country after the grant of the Award, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not be applicable to the Grantee in the same manner.

The Grantee further acknowledges that he or she accepts all the provisions of the Plan and the Agreement. The Grantee also acknowledge that he or she has read and specifically and expressly approves the terms and conditions set forth in “Nature of Grant” Section of the Agreement, which clearly provide as follows:
1.The Grantee’s participation in the Plan does not constitute an acquired right;

Labor Law Acknowledgement and Policy Statement. By accepting the Restricted Stock Units, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company, with registered offices at 100 Nagog Park,
Acton, Massachusetts 01720, U.S.A, is solely responsible for the administration of the Plan. The Grantee further acknowledges that his or her participation in the Plan, the grant of Restricted Stock Units and any acquisition of shares of Stock under the Plan do not constitute an employment or other service relationship between the Grantee and the Company because the Grantee is participating in the Plan on a wholly commercial basis and the Grantee’s sole service recipient is Insulet Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. (“Insulet Mexico”). Based on the foregoing, the Grantee expressly acknowledges that the Plan and the benefits that the Grantee may derive from participation in the Plan do not establish any rights between the Grantee and Insulet Mexico, and do not form part of any employment conditions and/or benefits provided by Insulet Mexico, and any modification of the Plan or its termination shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Grantee’s continuous Service with Insulet Mexico.
The Grantee further understands that his or her participation in the Plan is the result of a unilateral and discretionary decision of the Company; therefore, the Company reserves the absolute right to amend and/or discontinue the Grantee’s participation in the Plan at any time, without any liability to the Grantee.
Finally, the Grantee hereby declares that he or she does not reserve any action or right to bring any claim against the Company for any compensation or damages regarding any provision of the Plan or the benefits derived under the Plan, and that the Grantee therefore grants a full and broad release to the Company, its Subsidiaries, Affiliates, branches, representation offices, shareholders, officers, agents and legal representatives, with respect to any claim that may arise.

Tax Withholding. The following supplements Section 7 of this Award:
Without limitation to Section 7 of this Award, the Grantee agrees that he or she is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Company or, if different, the Employer or by HM’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Grantee also agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and, if different, the Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority) on the Grantee’s behalf.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Grantee is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), the Grantee understands that he or she may not be able to indemnify the Company or the Employer for the amount of any Tax-Related Items not collected from or paid by him or her if the indemnification could be considered to be a loan. In this case, the Tax-Related Items not collected or paid by the Grantee, may constitute an additional benefit to him or her on which additional income tax and National Insurance contributions (“NICs”) may be payable. The Grantee understands that he or she will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for paying to the Company and/or the Employer (as appropriate) the amount of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which may also be recovered from the Grantee by any of the means referred to in Section 7 of this Award.
Joint Election. As a condition of participation in the Plan, the Grantee agrees to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 NICs which may be payable by the Company and/or the Employer in connection with the Award and any event giving rise to Tax-Related Items related to the
Grantee’s participation in the Plan (the “Employer NICs”). Without prejudice to the foregoing, if requested to do so by the Employer or the Company, the Grantee agrees to execute a joint election with the Company or the Employer, the form of such joint election having been approved formally by HMRC (the “Joint Election”), and any other required consent or election to accomplish the transfer of Employer NICs to the Grantee. The Grantee further agrees to execute such other joint elections as may be required between the Grantee and any successor to the Company or the Employer. The Grantee further agrees that the Company or the Employer may collect the Employer NICs from him or her by any of the means set forth in Section 7 of the Agreement.
If, having been requested to enter into a Joint Election by the Employer or the Company, the Grantee does not enter into the Joint Election or if approval of the Joint Election has been withdrawn by HMRC, the Company, in its sole discretion and without any liability to the Company or the Employer, may choose not to issue or deliver any shares of Stock to the Grantee under the Plan.
