1.Purpose. The purpose of this 2016 Corporate Bonus Plan (the “Plan”) is to motivate and encourage the employees of Qualys (the “Company”) to achieve its stated goals and to assist the Company in attracting, motivating and retaining employees on a competitive basis.

(a) An officer or employee of the Company is designated as a participant in the Plan (“Participant”) and shall be eligible to participate in the Plan if he or she is a regular full-time or regular part-time employee (working greater than 20 hours a week) and he or she is not already participating in a separate Compensation Plan or MBO plan.

(b) New Hires. New employees hired in the first or second month of a quarter will be eligible to participate in the Plan for that quarter, such participation will be prorated based on the number of days employed in the quarter.

(d) Absence during Performance Period. If a Participant is absent for a period of more than one-half of the scheduled workdays during a quarter, for any reason, the Participant’s bonus payment will be prorated based on the number of days the Participant actually worked compared to the total number of scheduled work days during that quarter.

(a) Bonus Period. The Bonus Plan is effective from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016. Each calendar quarter is a separate bonus period.

(b) Bonus Level. A Participant’s level of participation in the Plan is set based on their grade level as determined by the Human Resources Department and is applied to the Participant’s base salary as of the last day of that quarter to determine the bonus amount.

(c) Objective Criteria: For the first quarter, the Plan payments are based on the single goal of ASV Growth (as defined below). For the second, third and fourth quarter, the Plan payments will be based on ASV Growth, Revenue Growth (as defined below) and Non-GAAP EPS (as defined below).

(1) ASV Growth. The stated goal is the growth in company-wide bookings as represented by Annual Subscription Value (“ASV”) for the current quarter over the same quarter of the prior year. ASV is the sum of one year’s worth of subscribed revenues to Qualys for all new, renewal and upsell subscriptions contracted by customers and channel partners in each quarter. ASV is determined by policies and practices administered by the Controller and the final quarterly ASV amount is approved by the CFO.

(2) Revenue Growth. The stated goal is the growth in company-wide revenue (as determined in accordance with GAAP and set forth in the Company’s quarterly and annual financial statements) for the current quarter over the same quarter of the prior year.

(3) Non-GAAP EPS. The stated goal is Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share. Non-GAAP EPS is GAAP net income less stock-based compensation expense and non-recurring charges under this Plan divided by weighted average shares (diluted) for the applicable quarter.

(d) Payout Calculation. A Participant’s bonus amount will be equal to the aggregate for each of the applicable objective goals as follows: the payment percentage described below multiplied by weighting percentage for the applicable goal. For the first quarter, ASV Growth was the sole goal and had a 100% weighting. For the second, third and fourth quarter, ASV Growth, Revenue Growth and Non-GAAP EPS shall be the 3 goals and shall be equally weighted.

(e) Bonus Payments. Bonus payments to Participants under this Plan will be made with the first payroll of the second month following the end of the quarter. Bonus payments are “gross” amounts, meaning that they constitute the full amount and that there will be no other increases (for example, to cover income taxes). The company will deduct from any payment under the Plan the amount of all applicable income and employment taxes, and any other amounts required by law to be withheld or deducted from such payment. None of the payments will be “benefits bearing” (i.e., the bonus amounts will not be used for purposes of determining any other company-provided benefits or compensation).

4. Administration. This Plan shall be administered by the Company’s CFO (except with respect to Participants who are the Company’s executive officers, in which case the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors will serve as the administrator), who may make and apply such rules deemed desirable or necessary to administer the Plan in the best interests of the Company. All questions of interpretation or application of the Plan may be addressed in writing to the CFO (or as applicable, the Compensation Committee), who shall review each inquiry in good faith, and each such determination shall be final and binding.
