MARTEK BIOSCIENCES CORPORATION

AMENDED AND RESTATED 2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT




	 	 	 
	Restricted Stock Unit Transferability

	 	This grant is an award of stock
units in the number of units set
forth on the cover sheet,
subject to the vesting
conditions described below
(“Restricted Stock Units”).
Your Restricted Stock Units may
not be transferred, assigned,
pledged or hypothecated, whether
by operation of law or
otherwise, nor may the
Restricted Stock Units be made
subject to execution, attachment
or similar process.
	 
	 	 
	Definitions

	 	Capitalized terms not defined in
this Agreement are defined in
the Plan, and have the meaning
set forth in the Plan. The
following additional terms have
the meanings provided below:
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	“Service” means service by you
as an employee, officer,
director or consultant to the
Company or an Affiliate. A
change in your position or
duties will not result in
interrupted or terminated
Service so long as you continue
to be an employee, officer,
director of the Company or an
Affiliate. If on termination of
your Service as an employee,
officer or director the Company
retains you as a consultant, the
Company may, in its sole
discretion, provide that your
Service continues for purposes
of vesting in the Restricted
Stock Units.
	 
	 	 
	Vesting

	 	Your Restricted Stock Unit grant
vests as to the number of Stock
Units indicated in the vesting
schedule on the cover sheet, on
the Vesting Dates shown on the
cover sheet, provided you are in
Service on the Vesting Date. No
additional Stock Units will vest
after your Service has
terminated for any reason.
	 
	 	 
	Book Entry of Stock Pursuant to Vested
Units

	 	If you have not made an election
to defer delivery of your vested
shares, a book entry for the
vested shares of Stock
represented by the Restricted
Stock Units will be made for you
and the shares will be credited
to your account with the plan
administrator by the Company
within three (3) days of the
applicable Vesting Date;
provided that, if such Vesting
Date occurs 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) are
restricted from selling Stock in
the open market because a
trading window is not available,
transfer of such vested shares
will be delayed until the date
immediately following the
expiration of the lock-up

	 	agreement or the opening of a
trading window but in no event
beyond 21/2 months after the end
of the calendar year in which
the shares would have been
otherwise transferred.
	 
	 	 
	Forfeiture of Unvested Units

	 	In the event that your Service
terminates for any reason, other
than death or Disability, then
unless otherwise provided in an
applicable employment agreement
between you and the Company or
an Affiliate or other plan or
agreement, you will forfeit all
of the Restricted Stock Units
that have not yet vested.
	 
	 	 
	Death

	 	If your Service terminates
because of your death, then your
Restricted Stock Units shall
become 100% vested.
	 
	 	 
	Disability

	 	If your Service terminates
because of your Disability, then
your Restricted Stock Units
shall become 100% vested.
	 
	 	 
	Leaves of Absence

	 	For purposes of this grant of
Restricted Stock Units, your
Service does not terminate when
you go on a bona fide employee
leave of absence that was
approved by the Company in
writing, if the terms of the
leave provide for continued
Service crediting, or when
continued Service crediting is
required by applicable law.
However, your Service will be
treated as terminating 30 days
after you went on employee
leave, unless your right to
return to active work is
guaranteed by law or by a
contract. Your Service
terminates in any event when the
approved leave ends unless you
immediately return to active
employee work.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	The Company determines, in its
sole discretion, which leaves
count for this purpose, and when
your Service terminates for all
purposes under the Plan.
	 
	 	 
	Withholding Taxes

	 	You agree, as a condition of
this grant, that you will make
acceptable arrangements, which
must be consistent with and
permitted by the rules and
regulations established by the
Company and the plan
administrator, to pay any
withholding or other taxes that
may be due as a result of
vesting in Restricted Stock
Units or your acquisition of
Stock under this grant. In the
event that the Company
determines that any federal,
state, local or foreign tax or
withholding payment is required
relating to this grant, the
Company will have the right to:
	 

	 	(i) require that you arrange
such payments to the Company, or
(ii) cause an immediate
forfeiture of shares of Stock
subject to the Restricted Units
granted pursuant to this
Agreement in an amount equal to
the withholding or other taxes
due. In addition, in the
Company’s sole discretion and






3









 





	 	 	 
	 

	 	consistent with the Company’s
rules and regulations, the
Company may permit you to pay
the withholding or other taxes
due as a result of the vesting
of your Restricted Stock Units
by delivery (on a form
acceptable to the Board) of an
irrevocable direction to a
licensed securities broker
selected by the Company to sell
shares of Stock and to deliver
all or part of the sales
proceeds to the Company in
payment of the withholding
taxes.
	 
	 	 
	Corporate Transaction

	 	Notwithstanding the vesting
schedule set forth above, upon
the consummation of a Corporate
Transaction, the Restricted
Stock Units will become 100%
vested (i) if the Restricted
Stock Units are not assumed, or
equivalent restricted securities
are not substituted for the
Restricted Stock Units, by the
Company or its successor, or
(ii) upon your Involuntary
Termination within the 24-month
period following the
consummation of the Corporate
Transaction.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	“Involuntary Termination” means
termination of your Service by
reason of (i) your involuntary
dismissal by the Company for
reasons other than Cause; or
(ii) your voluntary resignation
following (a) a change in your
position with the Company which
materially reduces your duties
and responsibilities or the
level of management to which you
report, (b) a material reduction
in your level of compensation
(including base salary, fringe
benefits and target bonus) or
(c) a relocation of your place
of employment by more than
twenty five (25) miles, provided
and only if such change,
reduction or relation is brought
about by the Company without
your consent.
	 
	 	 
	Retention Rights

	 	This Agreement does not give you
the right to be retained or
employed by the Company (or any
Affiliates) in any capacity.
The Company (and any Affiliate)
reserve the right to terminate
your Service at any time and for
any reason.
	 
	 	 
	Shareholder Rights

	 	You do not have any of the
rights of a shareholder with
respect to the Restricted Stock
Units unless and until the Stock
relating to the Restricted Stock
Units has been transferred to
you. In the event of a cash
dividend on outstanding Stock,
you will, not be entitled to
receive, a cash payment for each
Restricted Stock Unit.
	 
	 	 
	Adjustments

	 	In the event of a stock split, a
stock dividend or a similar
change in the Company stock, the
number of Restricted Stock Units
covered by this grant will be
adjusted (and rounded down to
the nearest whole number) in
accordance with the terms of the
Plan.
