to the Employer in accordance with Section 7.9 of the Terms and Conditions. A Notice of
Termination for Good Reason shall indicate the specific provision in the Agreement relied upon
and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a
basis for Termination for Good Reason. The notice of termination shall specify the termination
date, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days,
respectively, from the date such notice is given and which (notwithstanding the definition of
Severance Date in the Terms and Conditions) shall constitute the Severance Date for
purposes of the Agreement. Once the Executive has specified a date of termination in a notice
of termination, the date of termination may not be changed except by mutual consent of the
Employer and the Executive.
    
    If the Executive transfers to and becomes an employee of an Affiliate, the Employer shall
assign this Agreement to the Affiliate (as applicable) which shall become the Employer and
shall assume the obligations of the Employer.

Executive of Health Benefits over such cost immediately prior to the Severance.If the Executive dies, the Employer shall continue to provide the Executives dependents

the Board. Target Bonus shall be determined in the manner provided in the preceding
sentence whether or not the Executive is a participant in the Executive Incentive Plan
during that calendar year, and shall not be based on the Executives target bonus under any
other annual incentive plan in which the Executive participates during that calendar year.
If during the calendar year for which the Target Bonus is determined the Executive has not
assigned to an executive grade level of E1, E2, E3, E4 or E5, the Executives grade level

the date that is the Number of Months after the Severance Date shall vest;(b)

percentage determined by dividing the Number of Months by the total number of months in
the cliff-vesting period; and(c)
    
    for any other Qualifying Long-Term Incentive Award, no vesting shall occur upon
a Severance.Example 1: Assume the Number of Months applicable to Executive A is 18. On
January 26, 2009 Executive A received a stock option grant that is scheduled to vest in
three equal installments, on January 1, 2010, January 1, 2011 and January 1, 2012,
respectively. Executive A incurs a Severance on December 20, 2009. On the Severance
Date the stock option installments scheduled to vest on January 1, 2010 and January 1,

than the CIC Severance Agreement), whether oral or written, covering the Executive are
terminated and superseded and any notice periods with respect to such terminations are
deemed satisfied or explicitly waived.2.2
    
    The parties further agree that the CIC Severance Agreement is intended to
provide for severance payments and benefits to be made available to the Executive (on
the terms and subject to the conditions contained therein) only upon a qualifying
severance in connection with a Change in Control, and that this Agreement is intended
to provide for severance payments and benefits to be made available to the

##### 



Executive
(on the terms and subject to conditions contained herein) only in connection with a
qualifying severance occurring other than in connection with a Change in Control. In no
event and under no circumstances shall the Executive be entitled to receive severance
payments and benefits under both the CIC Severance Agreement and under this Agreement.
 3.
    
    COMPENSATION OTHER THAN SEVERANCE PAYMENT AND SEVERANCE BENEFITS.
 3.1
    
    If the Executive shall incur a Severance, the Employer shall pay the
Executives full salary to the Executive through the Severance Date at the rate in
effect immediately prior to the Severance Date, together with all compensation and
benefits payable to the Executive through the Severance Date under the terms of the
Employers compensation and benefit plans, programs or arrangements as in effect
immediately prior to the Severance Date.3.2
    
    If the Executive shall incur a Severance, the Employer shall pay to the
Executive the Executives normal post termination compensation and benefits as such
payments become due (other than severance payments under any severance plan as in
effect immediately prior to the Severance). Such post termination compensation and
benefits shall be determined under, and paid in accordance with, the Companys

arrangements as in effect immediately prior to the Severance.
 4.
    
    SEVERANCE PAYMENT AND SEVERANCE BENEFITS; OUTPLACEMENT SERVICES; VESTING OF QUALIFYING
LONG-TERM INCENTIVE AWARDS.
 4.1
    
    Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement (including, without
limitation, Section 5 of these Terms and Conditions), if the Executive incurs a
Severance, the Executive shall be entitled to receive from the Employer the Severance
Payment, the Severance Benefits and the Outplacement Services. In addition, the
Executives unvested Qualifying Long-Term Incentive Awards shall vest in accordance
with and to the extent provided in the Vesting Provisions.4.2
    
    The Employer shall pay to the Executive the Severance Payment and any Severance
Benefits that are payable in cash, in each case less amounts withheld for Taxes as
required under applicable law, on the earliest date or dates permitted under Code
section 409A, as determined by Tax Counsel or, in the absence of a determination by Tax
Counsel, on the date that is six (6) months and one (1) day after the Severance Date
(or as soon as practicable thereafter, but in no event later than ten (10) business

of the
Executive, the executor, personal representative or administrator of the
 6

##### 



Executives estate) first executes a written release substantially in the form attached
as Exhibit A hereto on or after the Severance Date and such release becomes effective
prior to the time that the Executive (or the
Executives estate, as applicable) is to
receive all or any part of the
Severance Payment, the Severance Benefits or the
Outplacement Services.4.4
    
    In the event that the Executive or a dependent of the Executive believes that
he or she is not receiving the full amounts to which he or she is entitled under the
Agreement, such person may make a claim to the Employer Board and the claims procedure
set forth in Section 15 of the EIP shall apply with the Employer Board treated as the
Committee. Although claims for amounts under this Agreement are governed by claims
procedures under the EIP that also apply to ERISA-covered claims, neither this
Agreement nor any amounts payable hereunder are, or are intended to be, governed by
ERISA.4.5
    
    Any further dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with the
Agreement which remains after the final decision of the Employer Board as contemplated
by Section 4.4 shall be settled exclusively by arbitration, conducted before a single
neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Associations National
Rules for Resolution of Employment Disputes as then in effect. Such arbitration shall
be conducted in the metropolitan area closest to where the Executive lives. Judgment
may be entered on the arbitrators award in any court having jurisdiction over such
metropolitan area; provided however, that the Executive shall be entitled to
seek specific performance of his/her right to be paid or to receive benefits hereunder
during the pendency of any dispute or controversy under or in connection with this
Agreement. The fees and expenses of the arbitrator and the arbitration shall be borne
by the Employer.If, for any legal reason, a controversy arising from or concerning the interpretation or
application of this Agreement cannot be arbitrated as provided above, the parties agree
that any civil action shall be brought in United States District Court in the
metropolitan area closest to where the Executive lives or, only if there is no basis for
federal jurisdiction, in state court closest to where the Executive lives. The parties
further agree that any such civil action shall be tried to the court, sitting without a
jury. The parties knowingly and voluntarily waive trial by jury.Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time a dispute or controversy arises the
Executive is working outside of the United States, and if at such time the Executive
maintains a residence in the United States, the dispute or controversy will be resolved
(i) by arbitration in the metropolitan area closest to the Executives residence in the
United States or (ii) by litigation in the United States District Court in the
metropolitan area closest to the Executives residence in the United States or, only if
there is no basis for federal jurisdiction, in state court closest to the Executives
residence in the United States. If the Executive does not maintain a United States
residence at such time, the dispute or controversy will be subject to arbitration in San
Mateo, California or to litigation in the United States District Court for the Northern
District of California (or if such court does not have jurisdiction or will not accept
jurisdiction, in any court of general jurisdiction in California).4.6
    
    The Employer shall pay to the Executive all legal fees and expenses incurred by
the Executive in seeking in good faith to obtain or enforce any benefit or right
provided

by the Agreement. Such payment shall be made within five (5) business days
after delivery of the Executives written requests for payment accompanied with such
evidence of fees and expenses incurred as the Employer reasonably may require. The
Employer shall not be obligated to pay legal fees and expenses incurred
by any person
other than the Executive or the Executives successor in interest hereunder. However,
the Employer shall be obligated to pay legal fees and expenses incurred by the
Executive on behalf of the Executives dependents and legal fees and expenses incurred
by the estate of the Executive on behalf of the Executive or the Executives
dependents.4.7
    
    The Employer agrees that, if the Executive incurs a Severance, the Executive is
not required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to reduce any amounts
payable to the Executive hereunder. Further, the amount of any payment or benefit
provided for in the Agreement shall not be reduced (except as provided in the
definition of Severance Benefits) by any compensation earned by the Executive as the
result of employment by another employer, by retirement benefits, by offset against any
amount claimed to be owed by the Executive to the Employer, or otherwise.
 5.
    
    NOTICE OF TERMINATION.
 5.1
    
    Any Involuntary Termination shall be communicated by written notice from the
Employer to the Executive in accordance with Section 7.9, and shall follow the
applicable procedures set forth in this Section 5. A notice of termination for Cause
shall include a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less
than three-quarters (3/4) of the entire membership of the Employer Board at a meeting
of the Employer Board which was called and held for the purpose of considering such
termination (after reasonable notice to the Executive of no less than thirty (30) days
and an opportunity for the Executive, together with the Executives counsel, to be
heard before the Employer Board and to have no less than thirty (30) days to
substantially cure the acts or omissions that are the basis for Executives termination
of employment) finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Employer Board, the
Executive was guilty of conduct set forth in clause (i) or (ii) of the definition of
Cause herein, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.5.2
    
    The notice of termination from the Employer shall specify the date of
termination, which shall not be less than ten (10) days from the date such notice of
termination is given. Once the Employer has specified a date of termination in a notice
of termination, the date of termination may not be changed except by mutual consent of
the Employer and the Executive.

sentence, the Executives obligation to maintain such disclosed information in
confidence shall not terminate where only portions of the information are in the public
domain.6.2

directors, products or services. The Employer agrees that it shall use its best
reasonable efforts to assure that none of its executive officers or directors make,

    Equitable Relief.
 (a)
    
    Executive acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section
6 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Employer,
that the Employer would not have entered into the Agreement in the absence of such
restrictions, and that any violation of any provision of this Section 6 will result
in irreparable injury to Employer. By entering into the Agreement, the Executive
represents that his or her experience and capabilities are such that the
restrictions contained in this Section 6 will not prevent the Executive from
obtaining employment or otherwise earning a living at the same general level of
economic benefit as is currently the case. The Executive further represents and
acknowledges that (i) he or she has been advised by Employer to consult his or her
own legal counsel in respect of this Agreement, and (ii) that he or she has had
full opportunity, prior to agreeing to enter into the Agreement, to review
thoroughly this Agreement with his or her counsel.(b)
    
    Executive agrees that Employer shall be entitled to preliminary and
permanent injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving actual damages, as
well as an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising
from any violation of this Section 6, which rights shall be cumulative and in
addition to any other rights or remedies to which Employer may be entitled. In the
event that any of the provisions of this Section 6 should ever be adjudicated to
exceed the time, geographic, service, or other limitations permitted by applicable
law in any jurisdiction, then such provisions shall be deemed reformed in such
jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, service, or other limitations
permitted by applicable law.(c)
    
    Executive irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees that any suit,
action or other legal proceeding arising out of this Section 6, including without
limitation, any action commenced by the Employer or the Company for preliminary and
permanent injunctive relief or other equitable relief, may be brought in the United
States District Court for the Northern District of California, or if such court
does not have jurisdiction or will not accept jurisdiction, in any court of general
jurisdiction in California, (ii) consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any
such court in any such suit, action or proceeding, and (iii) waives any objection
which Executive may have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or
proceeding

    GENERAL PROVISIONS.
 7.1
    
    Except as otherwise provided herein or by law, no right or interest of the
Executive under the Agreement shall be assignable or transferable, in whole or in part,
either directly or by operation of law or otherwise, including without limitation by
execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge or in any manner; no attempted
assignment or transfer thereof shall be effective; and no right or interest of the
Executive under the Agreement shall be liable for, or subject to, any obligation or
liability of such Executive. When a payment is due under the Agreement to an Executive
who is unable to care for his or her affairs, payment may be made directly to the
Executives legal guardian or personal representative.7.2
    
    If the Employer, the Company or any Affiliate is obligated pursuant to
applicable law or by virtue of being a party to a contract (other than this Agreement)
to pay severance pay, a termination indemnity, notice pay or the like or if the
Employer, the Company or any Affiliate is obligated by law to provide advance notice of
separation (Notice Period), then any Severance Payment hereunder shall be reduced by
the amount of any such severance pay, termination indemnity, notice pay or the like, as
applicable, and by the amount of any compensation received during any Notice Period.7.3
    
    Neither the entering into of this Agreement, nor the payment of any benefits
hereunder shall be construed as giving the Executive, or any person whomsoever, the
right to be retained in the service of the Employer, and the Executive shall remain
subject to discharge to the same extent as if the Agreement had never been executed.7.4
    
    If any provision of the Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such
invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and the
Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions had not been included.7.5
    
    The Company, the Employer and the Executive intend for the Agreement to comply
with the requirements of Code section 409A such that none of the payments hereunder
will result in compensation to be includible in the Executives income pursuant to Code
section 409A(a)(1)(A). The Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with
such intent.If any provision of the Agreement would cause compensation to be includible in the
Executives income pursuant to Code section 409A(a)(1)(A), such provision shall be void,
and the Employer shall have the unilateral right to amend the Agreement retroactively
for compliance with Coode section 409A in such a way as to achieve substantially similar
economic results without causing such inclusion. Any such

enforceable by the Employer and its successors and assigns, and by the Executive and by

distributees, devisees and legatees of the Executive. If the Executive shall die while
any amount would still be payable to the Executive (other than amounts which, by their
terms, terminate upon the death of the Executive) if the Executive had continued to
live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance
with the terms of the Agreement to the executors, personal representatives or
administrators of the Executives estate.7.7
    
    The headings and captions herein are provided for reference and convenience
only, shall not be considered part of the Agreement, and shall not be employed in the

or interest in, any assets of the Employer which may be applied by the Employer to the
payment of benefits or other rights under the Agreement.7.9
