under the EMCORE Corporation 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, as adopted effective

provisions marked with an [X] below in the event of a Change in Control.

Restriction Period.

ii.
[ ]    Notwithstanding Section 15.2 of the Plan, all outstanding Restricted

]    ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Notwithstanding the above, the Administrator (as constituted immediately prior
to the Change in Control) may determine that all then-outstanding Restricted
Stock Units shall be canceled in exchange for a payment having a value equal to
the product of the price at which a Change in Control occurs multiplied by the
aggregate number of shares covered by all such Restricted Stock Units.

Furthermore, notwithstanding the preceding, no cancellation, acceleration of
vesting, or settlement or other payment shall occur with respect to the
Restricted Stock Units if the Administrator (as constituted immediately prior to
the Change in Control) reasonably determines, in good faith, prior to the Change
in Control that the Restricted Stock Units shall be honored or assumed or new
rights substituted therefor by an Alternative Award, in accordance with the
terms of Section 8.2 of the Plan.

(c)Termination of Service. If you cease to be a Service Provider for any reason
other than (i) your death or (ii) your Disability, all Restricted Stock Units
that are not then vested and nonforfeitable will be immediately forfeited for no

event of your death, your Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the
provisions marked with an [X] below:

i.
[ ] Your estate shall retain a portion of your Restricted Stock Units equal to
the number of Restricted Stock Units that are not then vested and nonforfeitable
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed
from the commencement of the applicable Restriction Period through the date of
death, and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Restriction
Period (each a “Retained Restricted Award”), and the remainder of each Award
shall be forfeited and canceled as of the date of death. The Restriction Period
on a Retained Restricted Award shall lapse upon your termination of employment
or service relationship as a result of your death (i.e., the Retained Restricted
Award shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable on such date).

ii.
[ ] Your estate shall retain a portion of your Restricted Stock Units equal to
the number of Restricted Stock Units that are not then vested and nonforfeitable
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed
from the commencement of the applicable Performance Period through the date of
death, and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Performance
Period (each a “Retained Restricted Award”), and the remainder of each Award
shall be forfeited and canceled as of the date of death. The Restriction Period
on a Retained Restricted Award shall lapse upon the Certification Date to the
extent that the applicable Performance Objectives are achieved.

i.
[ X ] At discretion of Administrator. _________________________________________

(e)Acceleration of Vesting Upon Termination of Service Due to Disability. If you
cease to be a Service Provider by reason of your Disability, your Restricted
Stock Units shall be subject to the provisions marked with an [X] below:

“Retained Restricted Award”), and the remainder of each Award shall be forfeited
and canceled as of the date of such termination. The Restriction Period on a
Retained Restricted Award shall lapse upon your termination of employment or
service relationship as a result of your Disability (i.e., the Retained
Restricted Award shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable on such date).

ii.
[ ] You shall retain a portion of your Restricted Stock Units that are not then
vested and nonforfeitable multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is
the number of days elapsed from the commencement of the applicable Performance
Period through your termination of employment or service relationship, and the
denominator of which is the number of days in such Performance Period (each a
“Retained Restricted Award”), and the remainder of each Award shall be forfeited
and canceled as of the date of such termination. The Restriction Period on a
Retained Restricted Award shall lapse upon the Certification Date to the extent
that the applicable Performance Objectives are achieved.

iii.
[ X ] At discretion of Administrator.
_____________________________________________

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

(f)Settlement. Subject to other applicable provisions of this Agreement, not
later than 30 days after the lapse of the Restriction Period with respect to any
Restricted Stock Units, the Company shall issue to you (or, if applicable, your
executor, administrator, legally authorized guardian or personal representative)
one share of Common Stock underlying each Restricted Stock Unit as to which the
Restriction Period has lapsed, or, if the Administrator so determines in its
sole discretion, an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such shares
of Common Stock or any combination of shares of Common Stock and cash having an
aggregate Fair Market Value equal to such shares of Common Stock. Upon issuance,
such shares of Common Stock may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or
otherwise alienated or hypothecated in compliance with Applicable Law, this
Agreement and any other agreement to which such shares are subject. Your
settlement rights pursuant to this Agreement shall be no greater than the right
of any unsecured general creditor of the Company. The Company will not be
required to issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon settlement of the
Restricted Stock Units.

3.    Restrictions on Transfer. You may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge,
hedge, hypothecate, encumber or dispose of in any way (whether by operation of
law or otherwise) any Restricted Stock Units, and Restricted Stock Units may not
be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any sale or transfer, or
purported sale or transfer, shall be null and void. The Company will not be
required to recognize on its books any action taken in contravention of these
restrictions.

4.    Issuance of Shares.

(a)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, you may not sell
the shares of Common Stock acquired upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units
unless such shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”), or, if such shares are not then so registered, such sale
would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The
sale of such shares must also comply with other Applicable Law governing the
Common Stock and you may not sell the shares of Common Stock if the Company
determines that such sale would not be in material compliance with such
Applicable Law.

(b)    The shares of Common Stock issued in settlement of the Restricted Stock
Units shall be registered in your name. The Company will deliver a share
certificate to you, or deliver shares electronically or in certificate form to
your designated broker on your behalf. If you are deceased (or in case of your
Disability and if necessary) at the time that a delivery of share certificates
is to be made, the certificates will be delivered to your executor,
administrator, legally authorized guardian or personal representative. The
Company may at any time place legends referencing any Applicable Law
restrictions on all certificates representing shares of Common Stock issued
pursuant to this Agreement, and the certificate shall bear such restrictive
legends or restrictions as the Company, in its sole discretion, shall require.
You will, at the request of the Company, promptly present to the Company any and
all certificates representing shares acquired pursuant to this Agreement in your
possession in order to carry out the provisions of this Section 4(b).

(c)    The grant of the Restricted Stock Units and the shares of Common Stock
issued in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units will be subject to and in
compliance with all applicable requirements of Applicable Law with respect to
such securities. No shares of Common Stock may be issued hereunder if the
issuance of such shares would constitute a violation of any Applicable Law. The
inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction
the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to
the lawful issuance of any shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units shall
relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue such
shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a
condition to the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the Company may
require you to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate,
to evidence compliance with any Applicable Law and to make any representation or
warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.

(d)     Postponement of Delivery. The Company may postpone the issuance and
delivery of any shares of Common Stock provided for under this Agreement for so
long as the Company determines to be necessary or advisable to satisfy the
following:

i.
the completion or amendment of any registration of such shares or satisfaction
of any exemption from registration under any Applicable Law;

ii.
compliance with any requests for representations; and

iii.
receipt of proof satisfactory to the Company that a person seeking such shares
on your behalf upon your Disability (if necessary), or upon your estate’s behalf
after your death, is appropriately authorized.

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

5.    Tax Withholding. By signing this Agreement, you authorize your Employer
and the Company, except as provided below, to deduct from any compensation or
any other payment of any kind due you the amount of any federal, state, local or
foreign taxes required by law to be withheld as a result of the grant or vesting
of the Restricted Stock Units in whole or in part. The Company may, in its
discretion, agree that it will, upon your request, permit you to satisfy, in
whole or in part, the Company’s minimum statutory withholding tax obligation
(based on minimum rates for federal and state law purposes, including payroll
taxes) which may arise in connection with the Award either by electing to have
the Company withhold the issuance of, or redeem, shares of Common Stock or by
electing to deliver to the Company already-owned shares of Common Stock of the
Company, in either case having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount necessary
to satisfy the statutory minimum withholding amount due. In lieu of the
foregoing, the Company may require you to make a cash payment to such Employer
or the Company equal to the amount required to be withheld. If you do not make
provision for the payment of such taxes when requested, the Company may refuse
to issue any Common Stock certificate under this Agreement until arrangements
satisfactory to the Administrator for such payment have been made.

6.    Adjustments for Corporate Transactions and Other Events.

(a)    Adjustment Events. Upon an Adjustment Event, the number of Restricted
Stock Units and the number of such Restricted Stock Units that are nonvested and
forfeitable will, without further action of the Administrator, be adjusted to
reflect such event. The Administrator may make adjustments, in its discretion,
to address the treatment of fractional shares with respect to the Restricted
Stock Units as a result of the Adjustment Event. Adjustments under this Section
6 will be made by the Administrator, whose determination as to what adjustments,
if any, will be made and the extent thereof will be final, binding and
conclusive. No fractional Restricted Stock Units will result from any such
adjustments. Any such adjustment shall be consistent with section 162(m) of the
Code to the extent the Restricted Stock Units are subject to such section of the
Code.

(b)    Binding Nature of Agreement. The terms and conditions of this Agreement
will apply with equal force to any additional and/or substitute securities
received by you in exchange for, or by virtue of your granting of, the
Restricted Stock Units, whether as a result of any Adjustment Event or other
similar event, except as otherwise determined by the Administrator. If the
Restricted Stock Units are converted into or exchanged for, or stockholders of
the Company receive by reason of any distribution in total or partial
liquidation or pursuant to any merger of the Company or acquisition of its
assets, securities of another entity, or other property (including cash), then
the rights of the Company under this Agreement will inure to the benefit of the
Company’s successor, and this Agreement will apply to the securities or other
property received upon such conversion, exchange or distribution in the same
manner and to the same extent as the Restricted Stock Units.

7.    No Right to Continued Employment or Service. The Award shall not confer
upon you any right to be retained as a Service Provider, nor restrict in any way
the right of your Employer, which right is hereby expressly reserved, to
terminate your employment or service relationship at any time with or without
Cause (regardless of whether such termination results in (a) the failure of any
Award to vest; (b) the forfeiture of any unvested or vested portion of any
Award; and/or (c) any other adverse effect on your interests under the Plan).
Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer on you the right to receive
any future Awards under the Plan.

8.    No Rights as Stockholder. You shall not have any rights as a stockholder
of the Company with respect to any shares of Common Stock corresponding to the
Restricted Stock Units granted hereby unless and until shares of Common Stock
are issued to you in respect thereof. No adjustment shall be made for dividends,
distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date
such certificate or certificates are issued, except as provided in Section 6 of
this Agreement.

9.    The Company’s Rights. The existence of the Restricted Stock Units does not
affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make
or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other
changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business, including that of
its Affiliates, or any merger or consolidation of the Company or any Affiliate,
or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or other stocks with preference
ahead of or convertible into, or otherwise affecting the Common Stock or the
rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any
Affiliate, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of the Company’s or any
Affiliate’s assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding,
whether of a similar character or otherwise.

10.    Entire Agreement. This Agreement, inclusive of the Plan incorporated into
this Agreement, contains the entire agreement between you, your Employer and the
Company with respect to the Restricted Stock Units. Any and all existing oral or
written agreements, representations, warranties, written inducements, or other
communications made prior to the execution of this Agreement by any person with
respect to the Award or the Restricted Stock Units are superseded by this
Agreement and are void and ineffective for all purposes.

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

11.    Conformity with Plan. This Agreement is intended to conform in all
respects with, and is subject to all applicable provisions of, the Plan. In the
event of any ambiguity in this Agreement or any matters as to which this
Agreement is silent, the Plan will govern.

12.    Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the
Administrator in its discretion; provided, however, that this Agreement may not
be modified in a manner that would have a materially adverse effect on the
Restricted Stock Units as determined in the discretion of the Administrator,
except as provided in the Plan or in any other written document signed by you
and the Company. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented
orally.

13.    Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance
of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey
applicable to contracts executed and to be performed entirely within such state,
without regard to the conflict of law provisions thereof.

14.    Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any
portion of this Agreement is in violation of any statute or public policy, then
only the portions of this Agreement which violate such statute or public policy
shall be stricken, and all portions of this Agreement which do not violate any
statute or public policy shall continue in full force and effect. Further, it is
the parties’ intent that any court order striking any portion of this Agreement
should modify the terms as narrowly as possible to give as much effect as
possible to the intentions of the parties’ under this Agreement.

15.    Further Assurances. You agree to use your reasonable and diligent best
efforts to proceed promptly with the transactions contemplated herein, to
fulfill the conditions precedent for your benefit or to cause the same to be
fulfilled and to execute such further documents and other papers and perform
such further acts as may be reasonably required or desirable to carry out the
provisions hereof and the transactions contemplated herein. The Company may
require you to furnish or execute such other documents as the Company shall
reasonably deem necessary (a) to evidence such exercise or (b) to comply with or
satisfy the requirements of Applicable Law.

16.    Investment Representation. If at the time of settlement of all or part of
the Restricted Stock Units, the Common Stock is not registered under the
Securities Act and/or there is no current prospectus in effect under the
Securities Act with respect to the Common Stock, you shall execute, prior to the
issuance of any shares of Common Stock in settlement of the Restricted Stock
Units to you by the Company, an agreement (in such form as the Administrator may
specify) in which you, among other things, represent, warrant and agree that you
are acquiring the shares acquired under this Agreement for your own account, for
investment only and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof, that
you have knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, that you
are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of owning any shares of Common
Stock acquired under this Agreement, that you are a person who is able to bear
the economic risk of such ownership and that any subsequent offer for sale or
distribution of any of such shares shall be made only pursuant to (a) a
registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act, which
registration statement has become effective and is current with regard to the
shares being offered or sold, or (b) a specific exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, it being understood that to the extent any
such exemption is claimed, you shall, prior to any offer for sale or sale of
such shares, obtain a prior favorable written opinion, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Administrator, from counsel for or approved by the
Administrator, as to the applicability of such exemption thereto.

17.    Headings. Section headings are used in this Agreement for convenience of
reference only and shall not affect the meaning of any provision of this
Agreement.

18.    Binding Effect; Benefits. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors
and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended or shall
be construed to give any person other than the parties to this Agreement or
their respective successors or assigns any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under or in respect of any agreement or any provision contained herein.

19.    Assignability. Neither this Agreement nor any right, remedy, obligation
or liability arising hereunder or by reason hereof shall be assignable by the
Company or you without the prior written consent of the other party.

20.    Interpretation. The Administrator shall have full power and discretion to
construe and interpret the Plan (and any rules and regulations issued
thereunder) and this Award. Any determination or interpretation by the
Administrator under or pursuant to the Plan or this Award shall be final and
binding and conclusive on all persons affected hereby.

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

21.    Authorization to Share Personal Data. You authorize any Affiliate of the
Company that employs or retains you or that otherwise has or lawfully obtains
personal data relating to you to divulge or transfer such personal data to the
Company or to a third party, in each case in any jurisdiction, if and to the
extent appropriate in connection with this Agreement or the administration of
the Plan.

22.    Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted to be
given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been

following addresses or to such other address as the Company or you, as the case

Compensation. By entering into this Agreement and accepting the Awards evidenced
hereby, you acknowledge: (a) that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be
suspended or terminated by the Company at any time; (b) that the Award does not

GLOSSARY

(a)    “Restriction Period” means the period beginning on the Grant Date (or if
applicable for purposes of determining the Retained Restricted Award under
Sections 2(d) and 2(e), the most recent vesting date preceding your termination
of employment or service relationship due to death or Disability) and ending on
the date on which all of your Restricted Stock Units vest and become
nonforfeitable.

Restricted Stock Units may be transferred by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution, the words “you” and “your” will be deemed to include such person.
