			Stock Unit Agreement 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Grant

					
					
						 

					
					
						The Company hereby grants you an award of restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), as set forth in the Notice of Stock Unit Grant (the “Notice of Grant”) and subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement and the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in this Stock Unit Agreement. When the RSUs are settled, par value will be deemed paid by you for each RSU by past services rendered by you.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Company’s Obligation

					
					
						 

					
					
						Each RSU represents the right to receive a share of Stock (a “Share”) on the vesting date. Unless and until the RSUs vest, you will have no right to receive Shares under such RSUs. Prior to actual distribution of Shares pursuant to any vested RSUs, such RSUs will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company. Settlement of any vested RSUs shall be made in whole Shares only.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Vesting

					
					
						 

					
					
						Subject to the next paragraph (Forfeiture upon Termination of Service), the RSUs awarded by this Agreement will vest according to the vesting schedule specified in the Notice of Grant. If you commence working on a part-time basis, then the vesting schedule specified in the Notice of Grant may be adjusted in accordance with the Company’s part-time work policy or the terms of an agreement between you and the Company pertaining to your part-time schedule.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Forfeiture upon Termination of Service

					
					
						 

					
					
						Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement or the Notice of Grant, if you terminate Service for any or no reason prior to vesting, the unvested RSUs awarded by this Agreement will thereupon be forfeited at no cost to the Company, except as otherwise specified in any duly authorized written agreement between you and the Company.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Leaves of Absence

					
					
						 

					
					
						For purposes of this RSU, your Service does not terminate when you go on a military leave, a sick leave or another bona fide leave of absence, if the leave was approved by the Company in writing and if continued crediting of Service is required by the terms of the leave or by applicable law. But your Service terminates when the approved leave ends, unless you immediately return to active work. If you go on a leave of absence, then the vesting schedule specified in the Notice of Grant may be adjusted in accordance with the Company’s leave of absence policy or the terms of your leave.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Payment after Vesting

					
					
						 

					
					
						Any RSUs that vest hereunder will be paid to you (or in the event of your death, to your estate) in Shares.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Tax Withholding

					
					
						 

					
					
						Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no Shares shall be distributed to you unless and until you have made satisfactory arrangements with respect to the payment of income, employment and any other taxes which must be withheld with respect to such Shares. The Administrator, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit you to satisfy such tax withholding obligation, in whole or in part by one or more of the following: (a) paying cash, (b) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable Shares having a value equal to the minimum amount statutorily required to be withheld, (c) delivering to the Company already vested and owned Shares having a value equal to the amount required to be withheld, or (d) selling a sufficient number of such Shares otherwise deliverable to you through such means as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion (whether through a broker or otherwise) equal to the amount required to be withheld. If you fail to make satisfactory arrangements for the payment of any required tax withholding obligations with respect to Shares that are vesting, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may require you to permanently forfeit such Shares and the Shares will be returned to the Plan at no cost.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Arbitration

					
					
						 

					
					
						You and the Company agree that any and all disputes arising out of the terms of the Notice of Grant, the Plan or this Agreement or their interpretation shall be subject to binding arbitration in Santa Clara County, California before the American Arbitration Association under its California Employment Dispute Resolution Rules, or by a judge to be mutually agreed upon. You and the Company agree that the prevailing party in any arbitration shall be entitled to injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the arbitration award. You and the Company agree that the prevailing party in any arbitration shall be awarded reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Payments after Death

					
					
						 

					
					
						Any distribution or delivery to be made to you under this Agreement will, if you are then deceased, be made to the administrator or executor of your estate. Any such administrator or executor must furnish the Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Stockholder Rights

					
					
						 

					
					
						Neither you nor any person claiming under or through you will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares will have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to you or your broker.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						No Effect on Employment

					
					
						 

					
					
						Your employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries is on an at-will basis only. Accordingly, the terms of your employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries will be determined from time to time by the Company or the Subsidiary employing you (as the case may be), and the Company or the Subsidiary will have the right, which is hereby expressly reserved, to terminate or change the terms of your employment at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without good cause or notice.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Notices

					
					
						 

					
					
						Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement will be addressed to the Company at 440 East Middlefield Road, Mountain View, California 94043, Attn: Stock Administration, or at such other address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing or electronically.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Grant is Not Transferable

					
					
						 

					
					
						Except to the limited extent provided in paragraph, this grant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby will not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and will not be subject to sale under execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this grant, or any right or privilege conferred hereby, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar process, this grant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby immediately will become null and void. You may, however, dispose of this award in your will or through a beneficiary designation.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Binding Agreement

					
					
						 

					
					
						Subject to the limitation on the transferability of this grant contained herein, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Additional Conditions to Issuance of Stock

					
					
						 

					
					
						If at any time the Company will determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory authority is necessary or desirable as a condition to the issuance of Shares to you (or your estate), such issuance will not occur unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval will have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. The Company will make all reasonable efforts to meet the requirements of any such state or federal law or securities exchange and to obtain any such consent or approval of any such governmental authority.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

				



		 

 

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Resale Restrictions

					
					
						 

					
					
						You agree not to sell any RSU Shares at a time when applicable laws, Company policies or an agreement between the Company and its underwriters prohibit a sale. This restriction will apply as long as your Service continues and for such period of time after the termination of your Service as the Company may specify.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Applicable Law

					
					
						 

					
					
						This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of California, without regard to its choice-of-law provisions.
