Vesting
Schedule: 
 
Subject to the Grantee’s
Continuous Service and other limitations set forth in this Notice, the Agreement and the Plan, the Shares will “vest” in accordance with the following schedule: 
 
100% of the Total Number of Shares of Common Stock Awarded shall vest twelve (12) months after the Vesting
Commencement Date. 
 
During any authorized leave
of absence, the vesting of the Shares shall be suspended after the leave of absence exceeds a period of ninety (90) days. Vesting of the Shares shall resume upon the Grantee’s termination of the leave of absence and return to Continuous
Service. The Vesting Schedule of the Shares shall be extended to the length of the suspension. 
 
In the event of the Grantee’s change in status from Employee or Director to Consultant, the vesting of the Shares shall continue only to the extent determined by the Administrator as of such
change in status consistent with any minimum vesting requirements set forth in the Plan. 
 
Vesting shall cease upon the date of termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service for any reason, including death or Disability. For purposes of this Notice and the Agreement, the term
“vest” shall mean, with respect to any Shares, that such Shares are no longer subject to repurchase at the Purchase Price per Share; provided, however, that such Shares shall remain subject to other restrictions on transfer set forth in
the Agreement or the Plan. Shares that have 
 

1 








not vested are deemed “Restricted Shares.” If the Grantee would become vested in a fraction of a
Restricted Share, such Restricted Share shall not vest until the Grantee becomes vested in the entire Share. 
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Restricted Shares are subject to the provisions of Section 5(a)(4) of the Employment Agreement (entered
into between the Grantee and the Company dated January 6, 2003) which provides that the Restricted Shares shall become fully vested if the Grantee’s Continuous Service is terminated by the Company without Cause or voluntarily by the Grantee
with Good Reason within one year after a Change in Control. (The defined terms “Cause,” “Good Reason” and “Change in Control” shall have the meanings as set forth in the Employment Agreement). 
 
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and the Grantee have executed
this Notice and agree that the Award is to be governed by the terms and conditions of this Notice, the Plan, and the Agreement.

Award Number:
                             
 
BEA SYSTEMS, INC. 1997 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
 
RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AWARD AGREEMENT

 
1. Purchase of Shares. BEA Systems,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby issues and sells to the Grantee (the “Grantee”) named in the Notice of Restricted Stock Purchase Award (the “Notice”), the Total Number of Shares of Common Stock
Awarded set forth in the Notice (the “Shares”) for a Purchase Price per Share set forth in the Notice (the “Total Purchase Price”), subject to the Notice, this Restricted Stock Purchase Award Agreement (the “Agreement”)
and the terms and provisions of the Company’s 1997 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), which is incorporated herein by reference. Payment for the Shares in the amount of the Total Purchase Price set forth
in the Notice shall be made to the Company upon execution of the Notice. Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in this Agreement. All Shares sold hereunder will be deemed issued to the
Grantee as fully paid and nonassessable shares, and the Grantee will have the right to vote the Shares at meetings of the Company’s shareholders. The Company shall pay any applicable stock transfer taxes imposed upon the issuance of the Shares
to the Grantee hereunder. 
 
2. Method of
Payment. Payment of the Total Purchase Price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Grantee; provided, however, that such payment method does not then violate an Applicable Law and, provided further,
that the portion of the Total Purchase Price equal to the par value of the Shares must be paid in cash or other legal consideration permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law: 
 
(a) cash; or 
 
(b) check. 
 
3. Transfer Restrictions. The Shares sold to the Grantee hereunder may not be sold, transferred by gift, pledged, hypothecated, or
otherwise transferred or disposed of by the Grantee prior to the date when the Shares become vested pursuant to the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Notice. Any attempt to transfer Restricted Shares in violation of this Section 3 will be null and
void and will be disregarded. 
 
4. Escrow of
Stock. For purposes of facilitating the enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement, the Grantee agrees, immediately upon receipt of the certificate(s) for the Restricted Shares, to deliver such certificate(s), together with an Assignment
Separate from Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, executed in blank by the Grantee and the Grantee’s spouse (if required for transfer) with respect to each such stock certificate, to the Secretary or Assistant Secretary
of the Company, or their designee, to hold in escrow for so long as such Restricted Shares have not vested pursuant to the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Notice, with the authority to take all such actions and to effectuate all such transfers
and/or 
 

1 








releases as may be necessary or appropriate to accomplish the objectives of this Agreement in accordance
with the terms hereof. The Grantee hereby acknowledges that the appointment of the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company (or their designee) as the escrow holder hereunder with the stated authorities is a material inducement to the Company
to make this Agreement and that such appointment is coupled with an interest and is accordingly irrevocable. The Grantee agrees that such escrow holder shall not be liable to any party hereto (or to any other party) for any actions or omissions
unless such escrow holder is grossly negligent relative thereto. The escrow holder may rely upon any letter, notice or other document executed by any signature purported to be genuine and may resign at any time. Upon the vesting of all Restricted
Shares, the escrow holder will, without further order or instruction, transmit to the Grantee the certificate evidencing such Shares, subject, however, to satisfaction of any withholding obligations provided in Section 6 below. 
 
5. Distributions. Except as set forth in Section 8(e),
the Company shall disburse to the Grantee all regular cash dividends with respect to the Shares and Additional Securities (whether vested or not), less any applicable withholding obligations. 
 
6. Withholding of Taxes. The Grantee shall, as
Restricted Shares shall vest or at the time withholding is otherwise required by any Applicable Law, pay the Company the amount necessary to satisfy any applicable foreign, federal, state, and local income and employment tax withholding obligations.

 
7. Additional Securities. Any securities
or cash received (other than a regular cash dividend) as the result of ownership of the Restricted Shares (the “Additional Securities”), including, but not by way of limitation, warrants, options and securities received as a stock dividend
or stock split, or as a result of a recapitalization or reorganization or other similar change in the Company’s capital structure, shall be retained in escrow in the same manner and subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the
Restricted Shares with respect to which they were issued, including, without limitation, the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Notice. The Grantee shall be entitled to direct the Company to exercise any warrant or option received as Additional
Securities upon supplying the funds necessary to do so, in which event the securities so purchased shall constitute Additional Securities, but the Grantee may not direct the Company to sell any such warrant or option. If Additional Securities
consist of a convertible security, the Grantee may exercise any conversion right, and any securities so acquired shall constitute Additional Securities. Appropriate adjustments to reflect the distribution of Additional Securities shall be made to
the price per share to be paid upon the exercise of the Repurchase Right in order to reflect the effect of any such transaction upon the Company’s capital structure. In the event of any change in certificates evidencing the Shares or the
Additional Securities by reason of any recapitalization, reorganization or other transaction that results in the creation of Additional Securities, the escrow holder is authorized to deliver to the issuer the certificates evidencing the Shares or
the Additional Securities in exchange for the certificates of the replacement securities. 
 
8. Company’s Repurchase Right. 
 
(a) Grant of Repurchase Right. The Company is hereby granted the right (the “Repurchase Right”), exercisable at any time during the ninety (90) day period (the “Share

 

2 








Repurchase Period”) following the date the Grantee’s Continuous Service terminates for any
reason, with or without cause (including death or disability) (the “Termination Date”) to repurchase all or any portion of the Shares that are deemed Restricted Shares. 
 
(b) Exercise of the Repurchase Right. The Repurchase Right shall be exercisable by written notice
delivered to the Grantee prior to the expiration of the Share Repurchase Period. The notice shall indicate the number of Shares to be repurchased and the date on which the repurchase is to be effected, such date to be not later than the last day of
the Share Repurchase Period. On the date on which the repurchase is to be effected, the Company and/or its assigns shall pay to the Grantee in cash or cash equivalents (including the cancellation of any purchase-money indebtedness) the Purchase
Price per Share previously paid by the Grantee to the Company for such Shares. Upon such payment to the Grantee or into escrow for the benefit of the Grantee, the Company and/or its assigns shall become the legal and beneficial owner of the Shares
being repurchased and all rights and interest thereon or related thereto, and the Company shall have the right to transfer to its own name or its assigns the number of Shares being repurchased, without further action by the Grantee. 
 
(c) Assignment. Whenever the Company shall have the
right to purchase Shares under this Repurchase Right, the Company may designate and assign one or more employees, officers, directors or shareholders of the Company or other persons or organizations, to exercise all or a part of the Company’s
Repurchase Right. 
 
(d) Termination of the
Repurchase Right. The Repurchase Right shall terminate with respect to any Shares for which it is not timely exercised. 
 
(e) Change in Control. The Shares are subject to the provisions of Section 5(a)(4) of the Employment Agreement (entered into
between the Grantee and the Company dated January 6, 2003) which provides that the Shares shall become fully vested if the Grantee’s Continuous Service is terminated by the Company without Cause or voluntarily by the Grantee with Good Reason
within one year after a Change in Control. (The defined terms “Cause,” “Good Reason” and “Change in Control” shall have the meanings as set forth in the Employment Agreement). 
 
9. Stop-Transfer Notices. In order to ensure compliance
with the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement, the Notice or the Plan, the Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may
make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records. 
 
10. Refusal to Transfer. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat
as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred. 
 
11. Restrictive Legends. The Grantee understands and agrees that the Company shall cause the legend
set forth below or a legend substantially equivalent thereto, to be placed upon 
 

3 








 
any certificate(s) evidencing
ownership of the Shares together with any other legends that may be required by the Company or by state or federal securities laws: 
 
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND A REPURCHASE RIGHT HELD BY THE ISSUER OR
ITS ASSIGNEE(S) AS SET FORTH IN THE RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER. SUCH TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS ARE BINDING ON
TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES. 
 
12. Entire
Agreement: Governing Law. The Notice, the Plan and this 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 Grantee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Grantee’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and the Grantee. These agreements are to be construed in accordance with and
governed by the internal laws of the State of California 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 California to the rights and
duties of the parties. Should any provision of the Notice or this Agreement be determined by a court of law to be illegal or unenforceable, the other provisions shall nevertheless remain effective and shall remain enforceable. 
 
13. Headings. The captions used in this Agreement are
inserted for convenience and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement for construction or interpretation. 
 
14. Dispute Resolution. The provisions of this Section 14 shall be the exclusive means of resolving disputes arising out of or
relating to the Notice, the Plan and this Agreement. The Company, the Grantee, and the Grantee’s assignees (the “parties”) shall attempt in good faith to resolve any disputes arising out of or relating to the Notice, the Plan and this
Agreement by negotiation between individuals who have authority to settle the controversy. Negotiations shall be commenced by either party by notice of a written statement of the party’s position and the name and title of the individual who
will represent the party. Within thirty (30) days of the written notification, the parties shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place, and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary, to resolve the dispute. If the dispute has not
been resolved by negotiation, the parties agree that any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Notice, the Plan or this Agreement shall be brought in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California
(or should such court lack jurisdiction to hear such action, suit or proceeding, in a California state court in the County of Santa Clara) 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 14 shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable, it is the specific intent of the parties that such provisions 
 

4 








shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it or its application valid and enforceable.

 
15. 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.
