Base Salary and Incentive Compensation Target

On September 19, 2016, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “ Committee ”) of On Deck Capital, Inc. (the “ Company ” ) approved annual base salary and annual incentive compensation targets for the Company's named executive officers as set forth in the table below. Such annual base salary will be effective as of October 1, 2016, and such annual incentive compensation targets will be in effect and will be prorated for the six-month period beginning July 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016. These annual incentive compensation targets shall automatically continue and will be prorated for the six-month period beginning January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017 unless the Committee determines otherwise. The base salary and incentive compensation targets for our named executive officers set forth in the table below did not change from those set by the Committee on July 30, 2015.

Granting of Stock Options, Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units and Performance Units

On September 19, 2016, the Committee also granted stock options (the “ Options ”), performance-based restricted stock units to be settled solely in shares of the Company’s common stock (the “ RSUs ”) and performance units to be settled solely in cash (the “ Performance Units ”) to the Company's named executive officers, as set forth in the table below, and approved the vesting schedules related to such awards. The grants of such Options, RSUs and Performance Units were approved pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan. The 2014 Equity Incentive Plan and the forms of Stock Option Agreement and Restricted Stock Unit Agreement were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 10.3 to Amendment No. 2 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1/A on December 4, 2014. The form of Performance Unit Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.



						Equity Awards
Named Executive Officer	Title	Annual Base Salary		Incentive Compensation Target		Options ₍₁₎	RSUs ₍₂₎	Performance Units ₍₃₎
Noah Breslow	Chief Executive Officer	$	400,000	$	400,000	363,637	82,641	$	500,000

James Hobson	Chief Operating Officer	$	330,000	$	247,500	272,728	61,981	$	375,000

(1) Twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares subject to the Options shall vest on the one (1) year anniversary of the applicable vesting commencement date, and one forty-eighth (1/48th) of the shares subject to the Option shall vest each month thereafter on the same day of the month as the vesting commencement date (and if there is no corresponding day, on the last day of the month), subject to the participant continuing to be a Service Provider (as defined in the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan) through each such date.

(2) RSUs are performance-based awards that will vest for a performance period as described below only if the Company achieves certain financial performance metrics for the applicable performance period. There are three performance periods for the RSUs: July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017, July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018 and July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019, in each case, subject to the participant continuing to be a Service Provider through the applicable vesting date. For each performance period, one-third (1/3) of the total RSUs awarded to a participant are eligible for possible vesting. The awards that become eligible to vest during the performance period ending June 30, 2017 will be based on a comparison of the Company’s achievement of certain financial performance metrics to the target performance level pre-established by the Committee, as plan administrator for the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, for such performance period. For the performance periods ending June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2019, the plan administrator will determine the target performance levels for such periods. Participants have the ability to earn up to 150% of the baseline award based on certain levels of achievement in excess of the relevant target performance level or could earn less than the baseline award, or nothing at all, based on certain levels of achievement below the relevant target performance level.

(3) Performance Units are performance-based awards that will vest for a performance period as described below only if the Company achieves certain financial performance metrics for the applicable performance period. There are three performance periods for the Performance Units: July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017, July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018 and July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019, in each case, subject to the participant continuing to be a Service Provider through the applicable vesting date. For each performance period, one-third (1/3) of the total Performance Units awarded to a participant are eligible for possible vesting. The awards that become eligible to vest during the performance period ending June 30, 2017 will be based on a comparison of the Company’s achievement of certain financial performance metrics to the target performance

level pre-established by the Committee, as plan administrator for the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, for such performance period. For the performance periods ending June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2019, the plan administrator will determine the target performance levels for such periods. Participants have the ability to earn up to 150% of the baseline award based on certain levels of achievement in excess of the relevant target performance level or could earn less than the baseline award, or nothing at all, based on certain levels of achievement below the relevant target performance level.

EXHIBIT A

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PERFORMANCE UNIT GRANT

1. Grant . The Company hereby grants to the individual named in the Notice of Grant (the “Participant”) under the Plan an Award of Performance Units, subject to all of the terms and conditions in this Award Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. Subject to Section 19(c) of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan will prevail.

2. Company’s Obligation to Pay . Each Performance Unit has an initial value of one U.S. dollar (U.S. $1.00) as of the Date of Grant. Each Performance Unit represents the right to receive on the vesting date (or such later time indicated in this Award Agreement) the cash amount of one U.S. dollar (U.S. $1.00). Unless and until the Performance Units will have vested in the manner set forth in Sections 3 or 4, Participant will have no right to payment of any such Performance Units. Prior to actual payment of any vested Performance Units, such Performance Units will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company. Any Performance Units that vest in accordance with Sections 3 or 4 will be paid to Participant (or in the event of Participant’s death, to his or her estate) in cash, subject to Participant satisfying any applicable tax withholding obligations as set forth in Section 7. Subject to the provisions of Section 4, such vested Performance Units shall be paid as soon as practicable after vesting, but in each such case within the period sixty (60) days following the vesting date. In no event will Participant be permitted, directly or indirectly, to specify the taxable year of the payment of any Performance Units payable under this Award Agreement. For purposes of this Award Agreement, “cash” will be deemed to be cash or any cash equivalents, such as checks, wire transfers or electronic delivery of cash amounts to an account.

3. Vesting Schedule . Except as provided in Section 4, and subject to Section 5, the Performance Units awarded by this Award Agreement will vest in accordance with the vesting provisions set forth in the Notice of Grant. Performance Units scheduled to vest on a certain date or upon the occurrence of a certain condition will not vest in Participant in accordance with any of the provisions of this Award Agreement, unless Participant will have been continuously a Service Provider from the Date of Grant until the date such vesting occurs.

4. Administrator Discretion . The Administrator, in its reasonable good-faith discretion, may accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the unvested Performance Units at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. If so accelerated, such Performance Units will be considered as having vested as of the date specified by the Administrator. The payment of cash vesting pursuant to this Section 4 shall in all cases be paid at a time or in a manner that is exempt from, or complies with, Section 409A.

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Award Agreement to the contrary, if the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Performance Units is accelerated in connection with Participant’s termination as a Service Provider (provided that such termination is a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A, as determined by

-3-

the Company ) , other than due to death , and if (x) Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of such termination as a Service Provider and (y) the payment of such accelerated Performance Units will result in the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A if paid to Participant on or within the six (6) month period following Participant’s termination as a Service Provider, then the payment of such accelerated Performance Units will not be made until the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Participant’s termination as a Service Provider, unless the Participant dies following his or her termination as a Service Provider, in which case, the Performance Units will be paid in cash to the Participant’s estate as soon as practicable following his or her death. It is the intent of this Award Agreement that it and all payments and benefits hereunder be exempt from, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the Performance Units provided under this Award Agreement or cash issuable thereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to be so exempt or so comply. Each payment payable under this Award Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2). For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Section 409A” means Section 409A of the Code, and any final Treasury Regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance thereunder, as each may be amended from time to time.

5. Forfeiture upon Termination of Status as a Service Provider . Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Award Agreement but subject to any agreements between Participant and the Company, the balance of the Performance Units that have not vested as of the time of Participant’s termination as a Service Provider for any or no reason and Participant’s right to acquire any cash hereunder will immediately terminate.

6. Death of Participant . Any distribution or delivery to be made to Participant under this Award Agreement will, if Participant is then deceased, be made to Participant’s designated beneficiary, or if no beneficiary survives Participant, the administrator or executor of Participant’s estate. Any such transferee must furnish the Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer.

7. Withholding of Taxes . When cash is delivered as payment for vested Performance Units or, in the discretion of the Company, at such earlier time as the Tax Obligations (defined below) are due, the Company (or the employing Subsidiary) will withhold a portion of the Performance Units that have an aggregate market value sufficient to pay all taxes and social insurance liability and other requirements in connection with the Performance Units, including, without limitation, (a) all federal, state and local income, employment and any other applicable taxes that are required to be withheld by the Company or the employing Subsidiary, (b) the Participant’s and, to the extent required by the Company (or the employing Subsidiary), the Company’s (or the employing Subsidiary’s) fringe benefit tax liability, if any, associated with the grant, vesting, or settlement of the Performance Units awarded and the cash paid thereunder, and (c) all other taxes or social insurance liabilities with respect to which the Participant has agreed to bear responsibility (collectively, the “Tax Obligations”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company, in its sole discretion, may require the Participant to make alternate arrangements satisfactory to the Company for such Tax Obligations in advance of the arising of any Tax Obligations.

-4-

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Award Agreement, no Performance Units will be settled through the payment of cash or otherwise unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Company) have been made by the Participant with respect to the payment of any Tax Obligations that the Company determines must be withheld or collected with respect to such Performance Units. In addition and to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company (or the employing Subsidiary) has the right to retain without notice from salary or other amounts payable to the Participant, cash having a sufficient value to satisfy any Tax Obligations that the Company determines cannot be satisfied through the withholding of otherwise cash in settlement of the Performance units or that are due prior to the settlement of Performance Units under the Performance Units award. All Tax Obligations related to the Performance Units award and any amounts delivered in payment thereof are the sole responsibility of the Participant.

8. No Rights as Stockholder . Neither the Participant nor any person claiming under or through the Participant will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Performance Units deliverable hereunder. Any cash in settlement of Performance Units under this Award Agreement will be paid without any interest thereon.

9. No Guarantee of Continued Service . PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF THE PERFORMANCE UNITS PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING PARTICIPANT) AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS AWARD OF PERFORMANCE UNITS OR ACQUIRING CASH HEREUNDER. PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AWARD AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND WILL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH PARTICIPANT’S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING PARTICIPANT) TO TERMINATE PARTICIPANT’S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.

10. Address for Notices . Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Award Agreement will be addressed to the Company at On Deck Capital, Inc., 1400 Broadway, 25 ^th Floor, New York, NY 10018, or at such other address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing.

14. Administrator Authority . The Administrator will have the power to interpret the Plan and this Award Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules (including, but not limited to, the determination of whether or not any Performance Units have vested). All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith will be final and binding upon Participant, the Company and all other interested persons.
