Informatica Equity Grant Addendum
Following the commencement of your employment with Informatica Corporation (the “Company”), the Company’s management will recommend to the Compensation Committee of Informatica’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) that you be granted 60,000 restricted stock units under Informatica’s 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”). The Committee typically meets during the first month of each quarter. The grant date for the approved restricted stock units will typically be the first business day in the month following the approval meeting (provided such date is during an open trading window). Your restricted stock units will vest over a four year period in 25% increments on each annual anniversary of the grant date, subject to your continued service with Informatica on each vesting date. Your grant of restricted stock units will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and a standard award agreement under the Plan. You will receive further information about your restricted stock unit award at a later date.
In addition, following the commencement of your employment with the Company, the Company’s management will recommend to the Committee that you be granted 25,000 performance-based restricted stock units under the Plan. These performance-based restricted stock units will be granted pursuant to the terms of the 2015 performance-based restricted stock unit program, which the Company expects will be established and approved by the Committee in January 2015. Under the Company’s performance-based restricted stock unit program, a target number of performance-based restricted stock units will be eligible to vest over a particular period if applicable performance criteria are met during a specified performance period. The grant date for the approved performance-based restricted stock units will typically be the first business day in the month following the approval meeting (provided such date is during an open trading window). Your grant of performance-based restricted stock units will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and a standard award agreement under the Plan. You will receive further information about your performance-based restricted stock unit award at a later date.
Furthermore, following the commencement of your employment with the Company, the Company’s management will recommend to the Committee that you be granted a non-qualified stock option under the Plan to purchase 175,000 shares. The grant date for the approved stock options will typically be the first business day in the month following the approval meeting (provided such date is during an open trading window) and the strike price will be equal to the closing market price on that date. Your stock options will commence vesting on your employment start date and will vest 25% on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date and in equal monthly installments over the next three years thereafter, all subject to your continued service with Informatica on each vesting date. Your grant of stock options will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and a standard award agreement under the Plan. You will receive further information about your stock option grant at a later date.
The grant of restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units and the non-qualified stock options are subject to the appropriate documentation that will confirm the action taken by the Committee in connection with these grants. The Plan’s administrator will provide you with this documentation following the approval of the equity award(s).
Please keep in mind that this proposed grant of equity award(s) is only a recommendation to the Committee. The information about the grant(s) provided in the paragraphs above should not be construed as guaranteed grant(s) because no grant(s) can be made to you without the Committee’s specific approval and unless you properly execute the appropriate documentation that will confirm the action taken by the Committee in connection with the grant(s). Your participation in, and your rights under, the applicable Informatica employee equity program (and its terms) do not form part of your terms and conditions of employment with your employer nor do they provide a right of continued employment with your employer. Similarly, notwithstanding that the equity plan participation is through Informatica, it does not give rise and should not be construed as giving rise to any employment relationship between you and Informatica.

EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE AGREEMENT
This Executive Severance Agreement (“Severance Agreement”) is entered into as of the last date signed below (the “Effective Date”) by and between Informatica Corporation (the “Company”) and Michael Berry (the “Executive”) (collectively, the “Parties”).
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the Parties agree as follows:
1.At-Will Employment. Executive and the Company agree that Executive’s employment with the Company constitutes “at-will” employment. Executive and the Company acknowledge that this employment relationship may be terminated at any time, upon written notice to the other party, with or without good cause or for any or no cause, at the option either of the Company or Executive. However, as described in this Severance Agreement, Executive may be entitled to severance benefits depending upon the circumstances of Executive’s termination of employment. Upon the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, Executive will be entitled to payment of all accrued but unpaid vacation, expense reimbursements, and other benefits due to Executive through his termination date under any Company-provided or paid plans, policies, and arrangements. Executive agrees to resign from all positions that he holds with the Company immediately following the termination of his employment if the Board so requests.
2.Term of Agreement. This Severance Agreement will have an initial term of two years commencing on the Effective Date. On the second anniversary of the Effective Date, and on each annual anniversary of the Effective Date thereafter, this Severance Agreement automatically will renew for an additional one-year term unless the Company provides Executive with notice of non-renewal at least 90 days prior to the date of automatic renewal.
3.Severance.
(a)Termination Without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason in Connection with a Change of Control. If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason, and the termination is in Connection with a Change of Control, then, subject to Section 4, Executive will receive: (i) continued payment of his base salary for a period of twelve (12) months (the “Continuance Period” if Executive is entitled to receive payments under this Section 3(a)), (ii) a lump sum payment equal to 100% of Executive’s annual on-target bonus, commissions or variable earnings, assuming Company performance at 100% of target for Company bonus determination, (iii) reimbursement for any applicable premiums to continue coverage for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents under the Company’s Benefit Plans for the Continuance Period, or, if earlier, until Executive is eligible for similar benefits from another employer (provided Executive validly elects to continue coverage under applicable law), and (iv) immediate vesting with respect to all unvested equity awards that were or are granted prior to or after the date hereof.
(b)Termination Without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason Not in Connection with a Change of Control. If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason during the period beginning on November 1st, 2014 and ending on October 31st, 2015, and the termination is not in Connection with a Change of Control, then, subject to Section 4, Executive will receive (i) a lump-sum payment equal to his base salary for a period of six (6) months, (ii) a lump sum payment equal to 50% of Executive’s annual on-target bonus, commissions or variable earnings, assuming Company performance at 100% of target for Company bonus determination, and (iii) reimbursement for any applicable premiums to continue coverage for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents under the Company’s Benefit Plans for the Severance Period, or, if earlier, until Executive is eligible for similar benefits from another employer (provided Executive validly elects to continue coverage under applicable law). For purposes of this Severance Agreement, “Severance Period” means the six (6) month period following such termination if Executive is entitled to receive payments under this Section 3(b).
(c)All Other Terminations. If Executive’s employment with the Company terminates voluntarily by Executive without Good Reason or is terminated for Cause by the Company, then (i) all further vesting of Executive’s outstanding equity awards will terminate immediately, (ii) all payments of compensation by the Company to Executive hereunder will terminate immediately (except as to amounts already earned), (iii) Executive will be paid all accrued but unpaid vacation, expense reimbursements and other benefits due to Executive through his termination date under any Company-provided or paid plans, policies, and arrangements, and (iv) Executive will be eligible for severance benefits only in accordance with the Company’s then established policies and practices.
(d)Termination due to Death or Disability. If Executive’s employment terminates by reason of death or Disability, then (i) Executive will be entitled to receive benefits only in accordance with the Company’s then applicable plans,
policies, and arrangements, and (ii) Executive’s outstanding equity awards will terminate in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable award agreement(s).
(e)Sole Right to Severance. This Severance Agreement is intended to represent Executive’s sole entitlement to severance payments and benefits in connection with the termination of his employment. To the extent Executive is entitled to receive severance or similar payments and/or benefits under any other Company plan, program, agreement, policy, practice, or the like, severance payments and benefits due to Executive under this Severance Agreement will be so reduced.
4.Conditions to Receipt of Severance; No Duty to Mitigate.
(a)Separation Agreement and Release of Claims. The receipt of any severance pursuant to Section 3 will be subject to Executive signing and not revoking a separation agreement and release of claims in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, and provided further that separation agreement and release of claims becomes effective no later than sixty (60) days following the termination date. No severance will be paid or provided until the separation agreement and release agreement becomes effective.
(b)Timing of Payments. Any severance payments or benefits under this Severance Agreement that would be considered Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits (as defined in Section 5) shall be paid on, or, in the case of installments, shall not commence until, the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s separation from service, or, if later, such time as required by Section 5. Any installment payments that would have been made to Executive during the sixty (60) day period immediately following the Executive’s separation from service but for the preceding sentence shall be paid to Executive on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Executive’s separation from service and the remaining payments shall be made as provided in this Severance Agreement.
(c)Non-Competition. In the event of a termination of Executive’s employment that otherwise would entitle Executive to the receipt of severance pursuant to Section 3, Executive agrees not to engage in Competition during the Continuance Period or Severance Period. If Executive engages in Competition within such period, all continuing payments and benefits to which Executive otherwise may be entitled pursuant to Section 3 will cease immediately.
(d)Nonsolicitation. In the event of a termination of Executive’s employment that otherwise would entitle Executive to the receipt of severance pursuant to Section 3, Executive agrees that, during the Continuance Period or Severance Period, Executive, directly or indirectly, whether as employee, owner, sole proprietor, partner, director, member, consultant, agent, founder, co-venturer or otherwise, will (i) not solicit, induce, or influence any person to modify his or her employment or consulting relationship with the Company (the “No-Inducement”), and (ii) not solicit business from any of the Company’s substantial customers and users (the “No-Solicit”). If Executive breaches the No-Inducement or the No-Solicit, all continuing payments and benefits to which Executive otherwise may be entitled pursuant to Section 3 will cease immediately.
(e)Nondisparagement. In the event of a termination of Executive’s employment that otherwise would entitle Executive to the receipt of severance pursuant to Section 3, Executive agrees to refrain from any disparagement, criticism, defamation, slander of the Company, its directors, or its employees, or tortious interference with the contracts and relationships of the Company. The foregoing restrictions will not apply to any statements that are made truthfully in response to a subpoena or other compulsory legal process.
(f)No Duty to Mitigate. Executive will not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment contemplated by this Severance Agreement, nor will any earnings that Executive may receive from any other source reduce any such payment.
5.Section 409A.
(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Severance Agreement, no severance payable to Executive, if any, pursuant to this Severance Agreement, when considered together with any other severance payments or separation benefits that are considered deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the final regulations and any guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”) (together, the “Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits”) shall be payable until Executive has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.
(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Severance Agreement, if Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of Executive’s termination (other than due to death), then the Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits that are payable within the first six (6) months following Executive’s separation from service shall become payable on the first payroll date that occurs on or after the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of
Executive’s separation from service. All subsequent Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits, if any, shall be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Executive dies following Executive’s separation from service but prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the separation, then any payments delayed in accordance with this paragraph shall be payable in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the date of Executive’s death and all other Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits shall be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Each payment and benefit payable under this Severance Agreement is intended to constitute separate payments for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations.
(c)Any amount paid under this Severance Agreement that satisfies the requirements of the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations shall not constitute Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits for purposes of clause (b) above.
(d)Any amount paid under this Severance Agreement that qualifies as a payment made as a result of an involuntary separation from service pursuant to Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations that does not exceed the Section 409A Limit (as defined below) shall not constitute Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits for purposes of clause (b) above.
(e)The foregoing provisions are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the severance payments and benefits to be provided hereunder shall be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein shall be interpreted to so comply. The Company and Executive agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to this Severance Agreement and to take such reasonable actions which are necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition prior to actual payment to Executive under Section 409A.
