Restricted Stock Units/ Nontransferability   This grant is an Award of Stock
Units for the number of shares of Stock set forth on the cover sheet at the
purchase price per share set forth on the cover sheet, subject to the vesting
conditions described below (the “Restricted Stock Units”). The purchase price is
deemed paid by your prior services to the Company. Your Restricted Stock Units
may not be sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred,
whether by operation of law or otherwise, nor may the Restricted Stock Units be
made subject to execution, attachment or similar process.

Vesting

  Your right to the Stock under this Award will vest as to ______ (__) of the
total number of shares of Stock covered by this Award, as shown on the cover
sheet, on the ___-year anniversary of the Vesting Start Date (the “Anniversary
Date”), provided you then continue in Service. Thereafter, for each such vesting
date that you remain in Service, your right to the Stock under this Award will
vest at the rate of _____ (__) shares of Stock per year as of each subsequent
Anniversary Date. In addition, any performance-based conditions to vesting are
set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto.

Death or Disability

  Notwithstanding the foregoing vesting schedule, your right to the Stock under
this Award will become 100% vested upon your termination of Service, if your
Service terminates as a result of your death or Disability. Termination for Good
Reason or without Cause   Notwithstanding the foregoing vesting schedule, your
right to the Stock under this Award will continue to vest for two (2) years
following your termination from Service if your Service is terminated by you for
Good Reason (as defined in your Executive Confidentiality, Non-Solicitation,
Non-Competition and Severance Agreement dated February 22, 2008, as amended from
time to time (your “Confidentiality Agreement”)) or by the Company without Cause
(as determined by the Board and defined in your Confidentiality Agreement) and
satisfaction of any performance-based conditions to vesting will be determined
as if your employment with the Company continued during such two (2) year
period, to the extent that you continue to comply with the terms of your
Confidentiality Agreement.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Change in Control

  Notwithstanding the foregoing vesting schedule, your right to the Stock under
this Award will vest immediately prior to the consummation of a Change of
Control Transaction (as defined in your Confidentiality Agreement) regardless of
whether the transaction is also a Corporate Transaction (as defined in the
Plan).

Forfeiture of Unvested Stock

  In the event that your Service terminates for any reason other than your
death, Disability, Good Reason or without Cause, you will forfeit to the Company
all of the Stock subject to this Award that has not yet vested.

Stock Issuance

 

Upon the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units hereunder, the Company will issue
to you the Stock to which such vested Restricted Stock Units relate. The
issuance of your Stock under this Award will be evidenced in such a manner as
the Board, in its discretion, will deem appropriate, including, without
limitation, book-entry registration or issuance of one or more stock
certificates. You will have no further rights with regard to a Restricted Stock
Unit once the Stock related to such Restricted Stock Units has been issued.

 

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, if the Stock would otherwise be
delivered to you during a period in which you are (i) subject to a lock-up
agreement restricting your ability to sell Stock in the open market or (ii)
restricted from selling Stock in the open market because you are not then
eligible to sell under the Company’s insider trading or similar plan as then in
effect (whether because a trading window is not open or you are otherwise
restricted from trading), delivery of the Stock will be delayed until the first
date on which you are no longer prohibited from selling Stock due to a lock-up
agreement or insider trading or similar plan restriction, but in any event no
later than the last day of the calendar year in which the Stock otherwise would
have been delivered.

Withholding Taxes

  You agree, as a condition of this Award, that you will make acceptable
arrangements to pay any withholding or other taxes that may be due as a result
of the payment of dividends or the vesting of Stock acquired under this Award.
In the event that the Company determines that any federal, state, local or
foreign tax or withholding payment is required relating to the payment of
dividends or the vesting of Stock arising from this Award, the Company will have
the right to require such payments from you, or withhold such amounts from other
payments due to you from the Company or any Affiliate. Subject to the prior
approval of the Company, which may be withheld

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  by the Company, in its sole discretion, you may elect to satisfy this
withholding obligation, in whole or in part, by causing the Company to withhold
Stock otherwise issuable to you or by delivering to the Company Stock already
owned by you. The Stock so delivered or withheld must have an aggregate Fair
Market Value equal to the withholding obligation and may not be subject to any
repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting, or other similar requirements.

Retention Rights

  This Agreement does not give you the right to be retained by the Company (or
any parent, Subsidiaries or Affiliates) in any capacity. The Company reserves
(and any parent, Subsidiaries, or Affiliates reserve) the right to terminate
your Service at any time and for any reason.

Shareholder Rights

  You, or your estate or heirs, have no rights as a shareholder of the Company
until a certificate for the Stock relating to the Restricted Stock Units has
been issued (or an appropriate book entry has been made). You will, however, be
entitled to receive, upon the Company’s payment of a cash dividend on
outstanding Stock, a cash payment for each share of Stock subject to this Award
as of the record date for such dividend equal to the per-Unit dividend paid on
the Stock.

Adjustments

  In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend, reverse stock split or a
similar change in the Stock, the number of shares of Stock covered by this Award
may be adjusted (and rounded down to the nearest whole number) if required
pursuant to the Plan. Your Restricted Stock Units will be subject to the terms
of the agreement of merger, liquidation, or reorganization, in the event that
the Company is subject to such corporate activity, to the extent specified in
the Plan.

Applicable Law

otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the
substantive law of another jurisdiction.
