Form of Award Agreement



 Exhibit 10.3 
 IMMERSION CORPORATION 
 AWARD AGREEMENT (RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS) TO THE

 IMMERSION CORPORATION 2011 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN 

Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Immersion Corporation (the “Company”)
2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) shall have the same defined meanings in this Award Agreement (Restricted Stock Units) (the “Agreement”). 

Participant has been granted Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) subject to the terms, restrictions and conditions of
the Plan, the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Notice”) and this Agreement. 
 1.
Settlement. Settlement of RSUs shall be made within 30 days following the applicable date of vesting under the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice. Settlement of RSUs shall be in Shares. 

2. No Stockholder Rights. Unless and until such time as Shares are issued in settlement of vested RSUs, Participant shall
have no ownership of the Shares allocated to the RSUs and shall have no right dividends or to vote such Shares. 
 3.
Dividend Equivalents. Dividends, if any (whether in cash or Shares), shall not be credited to Participant. 
 4.
Non-Transferability of RSUs. The RSUs and any interest therein shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of. 
 5. Termination. If Participant’s service Terminates for any reason, all unvested RSUs shall be forfeited to the Company forthwith, and all rights of Participant to such RSUs shall
immediately terminate. In case of any dispute as to whether Termination has occurred, the Committee shall have sole discretion to determine whether such Termination has occurred and the effective date of such Termination. 

6. Beneficial Ownership of Shares; Certificate Registration. The Participant hereby authorizes the Company, in its sole
discretion, to deposit for the benefit of the Participant with any broker with which the Participant has an account relationship of which the Company has notice any or all Shares acquired by the Participant pursuant to the settlement of the RSUs.
Except as provided by the preceding sentence, a certificate for the Shares as to which the RSUs are settled shall be registered in the name of the Participant, or, if applicable, in the names of the heirs of the Participant. 

7. U.S. Tax Consequences. Participant acknowledges that there will be tax consequences upon settlement of the RSUs or
disposition of the Shares, if any, received in connection therewith, and Participant should consult a tax adviser regarding Participant’s tax obligations prior to such settlement or disposition. Upon vesting of the RSU, Participant will include
in income the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the RSU. The included amount will be treated as ordinary income by Participant and will be subject to withholding by the Company when required by applicable law. Upon disposition of the
Shares, any subsequent increase or decrease in value will be treated as short-term or long-term capital gain or loss, depending on whether the Shares are held for more than one year from the date of settlement. Further, an RSU may be considered a
deferral of compensation that may be subject to Section 409A of the Code. Section 409A of the Code imposes special rules to the timing of making and effecting certain amendments of this RSU with respect to distribution of any deferred
compensation. You should consult your personal tax advisor for more information on the actual and potential tax consequences of this RSU. 
 8. No Rights as Employee, Director or Consultant. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect in any manner whatsoever the right or power of the Company, or a Parent or Subsidiary of the Company,
to terminate Participant’s service, for any reason, with or without cause. 
 By Participant’s
signature and the signature of the Company’s representative on the Notice, Participant and the Company agree that this RSU is granted under and governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Notice








 
and this Agreement. Participant has reviewed the Plan, the Notice and this Agreement in their entirety, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Agreement,

Notice and this Agreement. Participant further agrees to notify the Company upon any change in Participant’s residence address. 
 9. Entire Agreement; Enforcement of Rights. This Agreement, the Plan and the Notice constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter herein and
supersede all prior discussions between them. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning the purchase of the Shares hereunder are superseded. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under
this Agreement, shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the parties to this Agreement. The failure by either party to enforce any rights under this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any rights of such party. 

10. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The issuance of Shares will be subject to and conditioned upon compliance by the
Company and Participant with all applicable state and federal laws and regulations and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Company’s Common Stock may be listed or quoted at the time
of such issuance or transfer. 
 11. Governing Law; Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are
held to be unenforceable under applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith. In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (i) such
provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (ii) the balance of this Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (iii) the balance of this Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms. This
Agreement and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to principles of
conflicts of law.
