related thereto without further action by the Director.

 Award Number:              

CEVA, INC. 2011 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT 

1. Grant of Restricted Stock Units. CEVA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby grants to the Director (the
“Director”) named in the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Notice”) an award (the “Award”) of the Total Number of Restricted Stock Units Awarded set forth in the Notice (the “Units”) subject to the
terms and provisions of the Notice, this Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (the “Award Agreement”), the Company’s 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), as amended from time to time, which are incorporated
herein by reference. Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in this Award Agreement. 

2. Conversion of Units and Issuance of Shares. 

(a) General. Subject to Sections 2(b) and 2(c), one share of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) shall be
issuable for each Unit subject to the Award (the “Shares”) upon vesting. Immediately thereafter, or as soon as administratively feasible, the Company will deliver the appropriate number of Shares to the Director after satisfaction of any
required tax or other withholding obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the relevant number of Shares shall be delivered to the Director no later than March 15th of the year following the calendar year in which the Award vests. 

(b) Delay of Conversion. The conversion of the Units into the Shares under Section 2(a) above may be delayed in the event the
Company reasonably anticipates that the issuance of the Shares would constitute a violation of federal securities laws or other Applicable Laws. If the conversion of the Units into the Shares is delayed by the provisions of this Section 2(b),
the conversion of the Units into the Shares shall occur at the earliest date at which the Company reasonably anticipates issuing the Shares will not cause a violation of federal securities laws or other Applicable Laws. For purposes of this Section
2(b), the issuance of Shares that would cause inclusion in gross income or the application of any penalty provision or other provision of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), is not considered a violation of
Applicable Laws. 
 (c) Delay of Issuance of Shares. The Company shall delay the delivery of any Shares under this Section 2 to the
extent necessary to comply with Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code (relating to payments made to certain “specified employees” of certain publicly-traded companies); in such event, any Shares to which the Director would otherwise be
entitled during the six (6) month period following the date of the Director’s termination of Continuous Service will be delivered on the first business day following the expiration of such six (6) month period.

 3. Taxes. 

(a) Tax Liability. The Director is ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes owed by the Director in connection with the Award,
regardless of any action the Company or any Related Entity takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the Award. Neither the Company nor any Related Entity makes any representation or undertaking regarding
the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant or vesting, or delivery of Shares under, the Award or the subsequent sale of Shares acquired under the Award. The Company and its Related Entities
do not commit and are under no obligation to structure the Award to reduce or eliminate the Director’s tax liability. No Shares will be delivered to the Director or other person under the Award until the Director or other person has made
arrangements acceptable to the Administrator for the satisfaction of applicable income tax, employment tax and any other withholding obligations. 

(b) Payment of Withholding Taxes. No Shares will be delivered to the Director or other person under the Award until the Director or
other person has made arrangements acceptable to the Administrator for the satisfaction of applicable income tax and employment tax withholding obligations, including, without limitation, such other tax obligations of the Director incident to the
receipt of Shares. Upon vesting or settlement of the Award, the Company or the Director’s employer may offset or withhold (from any amount owed by the Company or the Director’s employer to the Director) or collect from the Director or
other person an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax withholding obligations. Furthermore, in the event of any determination that the Company has failed to withhold a sum sufficient to pay all withholding taxes due in connection with the Award, the
Director agrees to pay the Company the amount of such deficiency in cash within five (5) days after receiving a written demand from the Company to do so, whether or not the Director is an employee of the Company at that time. 

4. Transfer Restrictions. The Units may not be transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution and may be converted during the lifetime of the Director only by the Director. 
 5. Right to Shares. The Director
shall not have any right in, to or with respect to any of the Shares (including any voting rights or rights with respect to dividends paid on the Common Stock) issuable under the Award until the Award is settled by the issuance of such Shares to the
Director. 
 6. Entire Agreement: Governing Law. The Notice, the Plan and this Award Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Director with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the
Director’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and the Director. Nothing in the Notice, the Plan and this Award Agreement (except as expressly provided therein) is intended to confer any rights or remedies on any persons
other than the parties. The Notice, the Plan and this Award Agreement are to be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application
of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of 

  
 2 








 
Delaware to the rights and duties of the parties. Should any provision of the Notice, the Plan or this Award Agreement be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be
enforced to the fullest extent allowed by law and the other provisions shall nevertheless remain effective and shall remain enforceable. 

7. Construction. The captions used in the Notice and this Award Agreement are inserted for convenience and shall not be deemed a part
of the Award for construction or interpretation. Except when otherwise indicated by the context, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular. Use of the term “or” is not intended to be exclusive, unless
the context clearly requires otherwise. 
 8. Administration and Interpretation. Any question or dispute regarding the
administration or interpretation of the Notice, the Plan or this Award Agreement shall be submitted by the Director or by the Company to the Administrator. The resolution of such question or dispute by the Administrator shall be final and
binding on all persons. 
 9. Venue and Waiver of Jury Trial. The Company and the Director (the “parties”) agree that any
suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Notice, the Plan or this Award Agreement shall be brought in the United States District Court in the State of Delaware (or should such court lack jurisdiction to hear such action, suit or
proceeding, in a Delaware state court) and that the parties shall submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The parties irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection the party may have to the laying of venue for any such
suit, action or proceeding brought in such court. THE PARTIES ALSO EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT THEY HAVE OR MAY HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. If any one or more provisions of this Section 9 shall for any reason be
held invalid or unenforceable, it is the specific intent of the parties that such provisions shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it or its application valid and enforceable. 

10. Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon
personal delivery, upon deposit for delivery by an internationally recognized express mail courier service or upon deposit in the United States mail by certified mail (if the parties are within the United States), with postage and fees prepaid,
addressed to the other party at its address as shown in these instruments, or to such other address as such party may designate in writing from time to time to the other party.
