ARTICLE I
GENERAL
1.1    Defined Terms. Capitalized terms not specifically defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings specified in the Plan or in the Notice of Grant, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.
(a)    “Termination of Consultancy” shall mean the time when the engagement of Participant as a consultant to the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated for any reason, with or without cause, including, but not by way of limitation, by resignation, discharge, death, disability, or retirement, but excluding:  (a) terminations where there is a simultaneous employment or continuing employment of Participant by the Company or any Subsidiary, and (b) terminations where there is a simultaneous re-establishment of a consulting relationship or continuing consulting relationship between Participant and the Company or any Subsidiary.  The Plan Administrator, in its absolute discretion, shall determine the effect of all matters and questions relating to Termination of Consultancy, including, but not by way of limitation, the question of whether a particular leave of absence constitutes a Termination of Consultancy.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company or any Subsidiary has an absolute and unrestricted right to terminate a consultant’s service at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in writing.
(b)    “Termination of Directorship” shall mean the time when Participant, if he or she is or becomes a non-employee director of the Board, ceases to be a director for any reason, including, but not by way of limitation, a termination by resignation, failure to be elected, death or retirement.

1.3    Incorporation of Terms of Plan.  RSUs are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan which are incorporated herein by reference.  In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall control.
ARTICLE II


GRANT OF RESTRICTED SHARE UNITS
2.1    Grant of RSUs.  In consideration of your continued employment with or service to the Company or a Subsidiary and for other good and valuable consideration, effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Notice of Grant (the “Grant Date”), the Company granted to you the number of RSUs set forth in the Notice of Grant.
2.2    Company’s Obligation to Pay.  Unless and until the RSUs will have vested in the manner set forth in Article II hereof, you will have no right to payment of any such RSUs.  Prior to actual payment of 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.  
2.3    Vesting Schedule.  Subject to Section 2.4, your RSUs will vest and become nonforfeitable with respect to the applicable portion thereof according to the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice of Grant (the “Vesting Schedule”) as long as you have not had a Termination of Services prior to the vesting date for such portion.  Unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator, employment or service for a portion, even  a substantial portion, of any vesting period will not entitle you to any proportionate vesting or avoid or mitigate a termination of rights and benefits upon or following a Termination of Services as provided in Section 2.5 below or under the Plan.
2.4    Change in Control Treatment.  In the event the successor corporation in a Change in Control refuses to assume or substitute for the RSUs in accordance with Section II.A of Article Three of the Plan, the RSUs will vest as of immediately prior to such Change in Control.  
2.5    Forfeiture, Termination and Cancellation upon Termination of Services.  Upon your Termination of Services for any or no reason, any then-unvested RSUs (after giving effect to any accelerated vesting pursuant to Section 2.4) will be automatically forfeited, terminated and cancelled as of the applicable termination date without payment of any consideration by the Company, and you, or your beneficiary or personal representative, as the case may be, shall have no further rights hereunder.
2.6    Payment after Vesting.  


2









(a)    On or before the tenth (10th) day following the vesting of any Restricted Share Units pursuant to Section 2.3, 2.4 or 3.2, the Company shall deliver to the Participant a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the number of Restricted Share Units that so vested, unless such Restricted Share Units terminate prior to the given vesting date pursuant to Section 2.5.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Ordinary Shares cannot be issued because of the failure to meet one or more of the conditions set forth in Section 2.8(a), (b) or (c) hereof, then the Ordinary Shares shall be issued pursuant to the preceding sentence as soon as administratively practicable after the Plan Administrator determines that Ordinary Shares can again be issued in accordance with Sections 2.8(a), (b) and (c) hereof.  Notwithstanding any discretion in the Plan, the Notice of Grant or this Agreement to the contrary, upon vesting of the RSUs, Ordinary Shares will be issued as set forth in this section.  In no event will the RSUs be settled in cash.  


(b)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to require you to pay any sums required by applicable law to be withheld with respect to the RSUs, the issuance of Ordinary Shares or with respect to any other restricted share units, if any, granted to you prior to the Grant Date under the Plan or any other Company equity incentive plan (each, a “Prior Award”).  Such payment shall be made by using a Sell to Cover. The award agreements covering your Prior Awards (if any) will be deemed amended to the extent necessary to reflect this Section 2.6(b). By accepting this award of RSUs, you agree (with respect to the RSUs and all Prior Awards, if any) to Sell to Cover to satisfy any tax withholding obligations and:
(i)     You hereby appoint the Agent as your agent and direct the Agent to (1) sell on the open market at the then prevailing market price(s), on your behalf, promptly after any RSUs (or Prior Awards) vest, such number of the Ordinary Shares that are issued in respect of such RSUs (or subject to or issued in respect of such Prior Awards) as the Agent determines will generate sufficient proceeds to cover (x) any estimated tax, social insurance, payroll, fringe benefit or similar withholding obligations with respect to such vesting and (y) all applicable fees and commissions due to, or required to be collected by, the Agent with respect thereto and (2) in the Company’s discretion, apply any remaining funds to your federal tax withholding or remit such remaining funds to you.
(ii)    You hereby authorize the Company and the Agent to cooperate and communicate with one another to determine the number of Ordinary Shares to be sold pursuant to subsection (i) above. You understand that to protect against declines in the market price of Ordinary Shares, the Agent may determine to sell more than the minimum number of Ordinary Shares needed to generate the required funds.
(iii)    You understand that the Agent may effect sales as provided in subsection (i) above in one or more sales and that the average price for executions resulting from bunched orders will be assigned to your account.  In addition, you acknowledge that it may not be possible to sell Ordinary Shares as provided in subsection (i) above due to (1) a legal or contractual restriction applicable to the Agent, (2) a market disruption, or (3) rules governing order execution priority on the national exchange where the Ordinary Shares may be traded.  In the event of the Agent’s inability to sell Ordinary Shares, you will continue to be responsible for the timely payment to the Company and/or its affiliates of all federal, state, local and foreign taxes that are required by applicable laws and regulations to be withheld, including but not limited to those amounts specified in subsection (i) above.
(iv)     You acknowledge that, regardless of any other term or condition of this Section 2.6(b), neither the Company nor the Agent will have any liability to you for (1) special, indirect, punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages, or incidental losses or damages of any kind, (2) any failure to perform or for any delay in performance that results from a cause or circumstance that is beyond 


3









its reasonable control, or (3) any claim relating to the timing of any Sell-to-Cover, the price at which Ordinary Shares are sold in any Sell-to-Cover, or the timing of the delivery to you of any Ordinary Shares following any Sell-to-Cover. Regardless of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s actions in connection with tax withholding pursuant to this Agreement, you acknowledge that the ultimate responsibility for any and all tax-related items imposed on you in connection with any aspect of the RSUs (and any Prior Awards) and any Ordinary Shares issued upon vesting of the RSUs (or subject to or issued in respect of your Prior Awards) is and remains your responsibility and liability.  Except as expressly stated herein, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary makes any commitment to structure of the RSUs (or any Prior Award) to reduce or eliminate your liability for tax-related items.
(v)     You hereby agree to execute and deliver to the Agent any other agreements or documents as the Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes and intent of this Section 2.6(b).  The Agent is a third-party beneficiary of this Section 2.6(b).
(vi)     This Section 2.6(b) shall survive termination of this Agreement until all tax withholding obligations arising in connection with this Award have been satisfied.
The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any Ordinary Shares to you unless and until you have paid or otherwise satisfied in full the amount of all federal, state, local and foreign taxes required to be withheld in connection with the grant or vesting of the RSUs.
2.7    Rights as Shareholder.  As a holder of RSUs you are not, and do not have any of the rights or privileges of, a shareholder of the Company, including, without limitation, any dividend rights or voting rights, in respect of the RSUs and any Ordinary Shares issuable upon vesting thereof unless and until such Ordinary Shares shall have been actually issued by the Company to you.  No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Ordinary Shares are issued, except as provided in Section II.A of Article Three of the Plan.  


2.8    Conditions to Delivery of Ordinary Shares.  Subject to Section VI of Article Five of the Plan, the Ordinary Shares deliverable hereunder, or any portion thereof, may be either previously authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares or issued Ordinary Shares which have then been reacquired by the Company.  Such Ordinary Shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable.  The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Ordinary Shares deliverable hereunder prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions:


(a)    The admission of such Ordinary Shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which the Ordinary Shares are then listed; 


(b)    The completion of any registration or other qualification of such Ordinary Shares under any state, federal or foreign law or under rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or of any other governmental regulatory body, which the Plan Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable; 


(c)    The obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state, federal or foreign governmental agency which the Plan Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable; 




4









(d)    The receipt by the Company of full payment for such Ordinary Shares, including payment of any applicable withholding tax, which may be in one or more of the forms of consideration permitted under Section 2.6 hereof; and


(e)    The lapse of such reasonable period of time following the vesting of any Restricted Share Units as the Plan Administrator may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience.


ARTICLE III

3.6    Governing Law; Severability.  The laws of the State of California shall govern the interpretation, validity, administration, enforcement and performance of the terms of this Agreement regardless of the law that might be applied under principles of conflicts of laws.
3.7    Conformity to Securities Laws.  You acknowledge that the Plan and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and any and all regulations and rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and state and foreign securities laws and regulations.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the RSUs are granted, only in such a manner as to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.    
3.8    Amendments, Suspension and Termination.  To the extent permitted by the Plan, this Agreement may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Plan Administrator or the Board, provided, that, except as may otherwise be provided by the Plan, no amendment, modification, suspension or termination of this Agreement shall adversely affect the RSUs in any material way without your prior written consent.

To the extent permitted by and necessary to comply with applicable law, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

3.12    Entire Agreement.  The Plan, the Notice of Grant and this Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof.
3.13    Section 409A.  The RSUs are not intended to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (together with any Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the date hereof, “Section 409A”).  However, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if at any time the Plan Administrator determines that the RSUs (or any portion thereof) may be subject to Section 409A, the Plan Administrator shall have the right in its sole discretion (without any obligation to do so or to indemnify you or any other person for failure to do so) to adopt such amendments to the Plan or this Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other 


6









actions, as the Plan Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate either for the RSUs to be exempt from the application of Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.
3.14    Limitation on Participant’s Rights.  Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided.    Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets.  The Participant shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the RSUs, and rights no greater than the right to receive the Ordinary Shares as a general unsecured creditor with respect to RSUs, as and when payable hereunder.  


3.15    Additional Terms for Participants Providing Services Outside the United States. To the extent you provide services to the Company or a Subsidiary in a country other than the United States, the RSUs shall be subject to such additional or substitute terms as shall be set forth for such country in Exhibit A attached hereto.  If you relocate to one of the countries included in Exhibit A during the life of the RSUs, Exhibit A, including the provisions for such country, shall apply to you and the RSUs, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such provisions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with applicable law or facilitate the administration of the Plan. In addition, the Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the RSUs and the Ordinary Shares issued upon vesting of the RSUs, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local laws or facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require you to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

If Sale of Ordinary Shares is not Required at Vest. 
When your RSUs vest, if the Company does not require the immediate sale of the Ordinary Shares you are entitled to receive, the Company may require that you retain those Ordinary Shares in your account at a brokerage firm designated by the Company until you sell the Ordinary Shares, even if you stop providing services for the Company or a Subsidiary.  
Following your Termination of Services, the Company may restrict your ability to sell or transfer any Ordinary Shares remaining in your account and sell those Ordinary Shares at a time determined by the Company in its sole discretion. You agree not to bring any claim against the Company, any Subsidiary or the Agent based on the timing of any such sale or the price at which any such Ordinary Shares are sold. 
Without limiting the foregoing, all the Ordinary Shares issued in respect of your RSUs or your Prior RSUs (if any) must be sold within six (6) months following your Termination of Services.  The Company may, in its sole discretion, require you to sell at any time during this six (6)-month period, such Ordinary Shares.

Neither the Company nor the Agent will guarantee the sale price for any such sale and you shall be solely responsible for fluctuations in the value of the Ordinary Shares until sale.

Payment of Sale Proceeds. 


You understand and agree that, pursuant to exchange control requirements in China, you may be required to repatriate to China the cash proceeds from the sale of the Ordinary Shares issued upon the settlement of the RSUs and that the Company may be required to effect that repatriation through a special exchange control account established by the Company or a Subsidiary. You agree that any proceeds from the sale of any Ordinary Shares you acquire may be transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to you. You also understand that there may be significant delays in delivering the funds to you due to exchange control requirements in China and agree not to make any claim against the Company or any Subsidiary as a result of the amount of time it takes to deliver the funds to you. 


Proceeds may be paid to you in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Company’s discretion. If the proceeds are paid to you in U.S. dollars, you will be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in China so that the proceeds may be deposited into this account.

Tax and National Insurance Contributions Acknowledgment.  
You agree that if you do not pay or your employer (the “Employer”) or the Company does not withhold from you, the full amount of all taxes applicable to the taxable income resulting from the grant of the RSUs, the vesting of the RSUs, or the issuance of Ordinary Shares (the “Tax-Related Items”) that you owe due to the vesting of the RSUs, or the release or assignment of the RSUs for consideration, or the receipt of any other benefit in connection with the RSUs (the “Taxable Event”) by 90 days after the end of the tax year in which the Taxable Event occurred, then the amount that should have been withheld shall constitute a loan owed by you to your employer, effective 90 days after the end of the tax year in which the Taxable Event occurred.

In the event that you are an officer or executive director and Tax-Related Items are not collected from or paid by you within 90 days of the Taxable Event, the amount of any uncollected Tax-Related Items may constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions may be payable.  You acknowledge that the Company or the Employer may recover any such additional income tax and national insurance contributions at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section 2.6 of the Agreement.
References to “withholding tax” in Sections 2.6(b)(4) and 2.8(d) of the Agreement shall include social security contributions including primary and secondary class 1 national insurance contributions.
