 Pursuant to the Restricted Stock Award Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) to which this Restricted Stock Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) is attached, Tessera Technologies,

 1.1 Defined Terms. Capitalized terms not specifically defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Plan and the Grant Notice.

  
 1.2 Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The Shares are
subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan which are incorporated herein by reference. 
  
 ARTICLE II 
 GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK 
  
 2.1 Grant of Restricted Stock. In consideration of Holder’s past
and/or continued employment with or service to the Company or its Subsidiaries and for other good and valuable consideration, effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”), the Company
irrevocably grants to Holder the right to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Shares”), upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement. 
  
 2.2 Purchase Price. The purchase price of the Shares shall be as set
forth in the Grant Notice, without commission or other charge. The payment of the purchase price shall be paid by cash or check. 
  
 2.3 Issuance of Shares. The issuance of the Shares under this Agreement shall occur at the principal office of the Company simultaneously with the
execution of this Agreement by the parties or on such other date as the Company and Holder shall agree (the “Issuance Date”). Subject to the provisions of Article IV below, on the Issuance Date, the Company shall issue the
Shares (which shall be issued in Holder’s name). 
  
 2.4
Conditions to Issuance of Stock Certificates. The Shares, or any portion thereof, may be either previously authorized but unissued shares or issued shares which have then been reacquired by the Company. Such Shares shall be fully paid and
nonassessable. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Shares prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions: 
  
 (a) The admission of such Shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which such Common Stock is then listed; and 
  
 (b) The completion of any registration or other qualification of such shares
under any state or federal law or under rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or of any other governmental regulatory body, which the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable; and

  

 1 








 (c) The obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency which
the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable; and 
  
 (d) The lapse of such reasonable period of time following the Issuance Date as the Administrator may from time to time establish for reasons of
administrative convenience; and 
  
 (e) The receipt by the Company
of full payment for such Shares, including payment of any applicable withholding tax, which in the discretion of the Administrator may be in the form of consideration used by Holder to pay for such Shares, subject to Section 16 of the Plan.

  
 2.5 Rights as Stockholder. Except as otherwise
provided herein, upon delivery of the Shares to the escrow holder pursuant to Article IV, Holder shall have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to said Shares, subject to the restrictions herein, including the right to vote the Shares and
to receive all dividends or other distributions paid or made with respect to the Shares; provided, however, that any and all cash dividends paid on such Shares and any and all shares of Common Stock, capital stock or other securities
received by or distributed to Holder with respect to the Shares as a result of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, or similar change in the capital structure of the Company shall
also be subject to the Repurchase Option (as defined in Section 3.1 below) and the restrictions on transfer in Section 3.4 below until such restrictions on the underlying Shares lapse or are removed pursuant to this Agreement. 
  
 ARTICLE III 
 RESTRICTIONS ON SHARES 
  
 3.1 Repurchase Option. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.2 below, if Holder ceases to be a Service Provider before all of the Shares are released from the Company’s Repurchase Option (as defined
below), the Company shall, upon the date of such termination (as reasonably fixed and determined by the Company), have an irrevocable, exclusive option, but not the obligation, for a period of sixty (60) days, commencing ninety (90) days after the
date Holder ceases to be a Service Provider to repurchase all or any portion of the Unreleased Shares (as defined below in Section 3.3) at such time (the “Repurchase Option”) at the original cash purchase price per share (the
“Repurchase Price”). The Repurchase Option shall lapse and terminate one hundred fifty (150) days after Holder ceases to be a Service Provider. The Repurchase Option shall be exercisable by the Company by written notice to
Holder or Holder’s executor (with a copy to the escrow agent appointed pursuant to Section 4.1 below) and shall be exercisable, at the Company’s option, by delivery to Holder or Holder’s executor with such notice of a check in the
amount of the Repurchase Price times the number of Shares to be repurchased (the “Aggregate Repurchase Price”). Upon delivery of such notice and the payment of the Aggregate Repurchase Price, the Company shall become the
legal and beneficial owner of the Shares being repurchased and all rights and interests therein or relating thereto, and the Company shall have the right to retain and transfer to its own name the number of Shares being repurchased by the Company.
In the event the Company repurchases any Shares under this Section 3.1, any dividends or other distributions paid on such Shares and held by the escrow agent pursuant to Section 4.1 and the Joint Escrow Instructions shall be promptly paid by the
escrow agent to the Company. 
  
 3.2 Release of Shares from
Repurchase Restriction. The Shares shall be released from the Company’s Repurchase Option as indicated in Exhibit B to the Grant Notice. Any of the Shares released from the Company’s Repurchase Option shall thereupon be released
from the restrictions on transfer under Section 3.4. In the event any of the Shares are released from the Company’s Repurchase Option, any dividends or other distributions paid on such Shares and held by the escrow agent pursuant to Section 4.1
and the Joint Escrow Instructions shall be promptly paid by the escrow agent to Holder. 
  

 2 








 3.3 Unreleased Shares. Any of the Shares which, from time to time, have not yet been released from
the Company’s Repurchase Option are referred to herein as “Unreleased Shares.” 
  
 3.4 Restrictions on Transfer. Unless otherwise permitted by the Administrator pursuant to the Plan, no Unreleased Shares, or any dividends or other
distributions thereon or any interest or right therein or part thereof, shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of Holder or his or her successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation,
pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any
attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect. 
  
 ARTICLE IV 
 ESCROW OF SHARES 
  

4.1 Escrow of Shares. To insure the availability for delivery of Holder’s Unreleased Shares upon repurchase by the Company pursuant to the
Repurchase Option under Section 3.1, Holder hereby appoints the Secretary of the Company, or any other person designated by the Administrator as escrow agent, as his or her attorney-in-fact to assign and transfer unto the Company, such Unreleased
Shares, if any, repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Option pursuant to Section 3.1 and any dividends or other distributions thereon, and shall, upon execution of this Agreement, deliver and deposit with the Secretary of the
Company, or such other person designated by the Administrator, any share certificates representing the Unreleased Shares, together with the stock assignment duly endorsed in blank, attached to the Grant Notice as Exhibit D to the Grant
Notice. The Unreleased Shares and stock assignment shall be held by the Secretary of the Company, or such other person designated by the Administrator, in escrow, pursuant to the Joint Escrow Instructions of the Company and Holder attached as
Exhibit E to the Grant Notice, until the Company exercises its Repurchase Option as provided in Section 3.1, until such Unreleased Shares are released from the Company’s Repurchase Option, or until such time as this Agreement no longer
is in effect. Upon release of the Unreleased Shares, the escrow agent shall deliver to Holder the certificate or certificates representing such Shares in the escrow agent’s possession belonging to Holder in accordance with the terms of the
Joint Escrow Instructions attached as Exhibit E to the Grant Notice, and the escrow agent shall be discharged of all further obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the escrow agent shall nevertheless retain such
certificate or certificates as escrow agent if so required pursuant to other restrictions imposed pursuant to this Agreement. If the Shares are held in book entry form, then such entry will reflect that the Shares are subject to the restrictions of
this Agreement. If any dividends or other distributions are paid on the Unreleased Shares held by the escrow agent pursuant to this Section 4.1 and the Joint Escrow Instructions, such dividends or other distributions shall also be subject to the
restrictions set forth in this Agreement and held in escrow pending release of the Unreleased Shares with respect to which such dividends or other distributions were paid from the Company’s Repurchase Option. 
  
 4.2 Transfer of Repurchased Shares. Holder hereby authorizes and
directs the Secretary of the Company, or such other person designated by the Administrator, to transfer the Unreleased Shares as to which the Repurchase Option has been exercised from Holder to the Company. 
  
 4.3 No Liability for Actions in Connection with Escrow. The
Company, or its designee, shall not be liable for any act it may do or omit to do with respect to holding the Shares in escrow and while acting in good faith and in the exercise of its judgment. 
  

 3 








 ARTICLE V 
 OTHER PROVISIONS 
  
 5.1
Adjustment for Stock Split. In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, or similar change in the capital structure of the Company, the Administrator shall make
appropriate and equitable adjustments in the Unreleased Shares subject to the Repurchase Option and the number of Shares, consistent with any adjustment under Section 12 of the Plan. The provisions of this Agreement shall apply, to the full extent
set forth herein with respect to the Shares, to any and all shares of capital stock or other securities which may be issued in respect of, in exchange for, or in substitution of the Shares, and shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock
dividends, splits, reverse splits, combinations, recapitalizations and the like occurring after the date hereof. 
  
 5.2 Taxes. Holder has reviewed with Holder’s own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and
the transactions contemplated by the Grant Notice and this Agreement. Holder is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. Holder understands that Holder (and not the Company)
shall be responsible for Holder’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Holder understands that Holder will recognize ordinary income for federal income tax purposes
under Section 83 of the Code. In this context, “restriction” includes the right of the Company to repurchase the Shares pursuant to its Repurchase Option set forth in Section 3.1. Holder understands that Holder may elect to be taxed for
federal income tax purposes at the time the Shares are purchased rather than as and when the Repurchase Option lapses by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30) days from the date of
purchase. A form of election under Section 83(b) of the Code is attached to the Grant Notice as Exhibit F. 
  
 HOLDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS HOLDER’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY’S TO TIMELY FILE THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF
HOLDER REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON HOLDER’S BEHALF 
  
 5.3 Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if Holder is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Plan, the Shares and this
Agreement shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such
exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule. 
  
 5.4 Administration. The Administrator shall have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such
rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret, amend or revoke any such rules. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good
faith shall be final and binding upon Holder, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Administrator shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan, this
Agreement or the Shares. In its absolute discretion, the Board may at any time and from time to time exercise any and all rights and duties of the Administrator under the Plan and this Agreement. 
  

 4 








 5.5 Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders. 
  
 (a) Any share certificate(s) evidencing the Shares issued hereunder shall be
endorsed with the following legend and any other legend required by any applicable federal and state securities laws: 
  
 THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A RIGHT OF REPURCHASE IN FAVOR OF THE COMPANY AND MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
TERMS OF A RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY. 
  
 (b) Holder agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to herein, the Company may issue appropriate “stop
transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records. 
  
 (c) The Company shall not be required: (i) to transfer on its books any shares of Common Stock that have been sold or
otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement, or (ii) to treat as owner of such shares of Common Stock or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such shares shall
have been so transferred. 
  
 5.6 Notices. Any notice to be
given under the terms of this Agreement to the Company shall be addressed to the Company in care of the Secretary of the Company, and any notice to be given to Holder shall be addressed to Holder at the address given beneath Holder’s signature
on the Grant Notice. By a notice given pursuant to this Section 5.6, either party may hereafter designate a different address for notices to be given to that party. Any notice shall be deemed duly given when sent via email or when sent by certified
mail (return receipt requested) and deposited (with postage prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service. 
  
 5.7 Titles. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or
construction of this Agreement. 
  
 5.8 Governing Law;
Severability. This Agreement shall be administered, interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflicts of laws thereof. Should any provision of this Agreement be determined by a court of law to be
illegal or unenforceable, the other provisions shall nevertheless remain effective and shall remain enforceable. 
  
 5.9 Conformity to Securities Laws. Holder acknowledges that the Plan is intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act and any and all regulations and rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and state securities laws and regulations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be
administered, and the Shares are to be issued, 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. 
  
 5.10 Amendments.
This Agreement may not be modified, amended or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by Holder and by a duly authorized representative of the Company. 
  

 5 








 5.11 No Employment Rights. If Holder is an Employee, nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall
confer upon Holder any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which are expressly reserved, to discharge Holder at any time for
any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Company and Holder. 
  
 5.12 Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth, this Agreement shall be binding upon Holder and his or her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

certain Restricted Stock Award Agreement (“Agreement”) between the Company and the undersigned (the “Escrow”), including the stock certificate and the Assignment in Blank, in accordance with the

any assignee of the Company (referred to collectively for convenience herein as the “Company”) exercises the Company’s Repurchase Option as defined in the Agreement), the Company shall give to Holder and you a written
notice specifying the number of shares of stock to be purchased, the purchase price and the time for a closing hereunder at the principal office of the Company. Holder and the Company hereby irrevocably authorize and direct you to close the
transaction contemplated by such notice in accordance with the terms of said notice. 
  
 2. As of the date of closing of the repurchase indicated in such notice, you are directed (a) to date the stock assignments necessary for the repurchase and transfer in question, (b) to fill in the number of shares
being repurchased and transferred, and (c) to deliver the same, together with the certificate evidencing the shares of stock to be repurchased and transferred, to the Company or its assignee. 
  
 3. Holder irrevocably authorizes the Company to deposit with you any
certificates evidencing shares of stock to be held by you hereunder and any additions and substitutions to said shares as defined in the Agreement. Holder does hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint you as Holder’s attorney-in-fact and agent
for the term of this escrow to execute with respect to such securities all documents necessary or appropriate to make such securities negotiable and to complete any transaction herein contemplated, including but not limited to the filing with any
applicable state blue sky authority of any required applications for consent to, or notice of transfer of, the securities. Subject to the provisions of this paragraph 3 and the Agreement, Holder shall exercise all rights and privileges of a
stockholder of the Company while the stock is held by you. 
  
 4.
Upon written request of Holder, but no more than once per calendar month, unless the Company’s Repurchase Option has been exercised, you will deliver to Holder a certificate or certificates representing so many shares of stock as are not then
subject to the Repurchase Option. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after any voluntary or involuntary termination of Holder’s services to the Company for any or no reason, you will deliver to Holder a certificate or certificates
representing the aggregate number of shares held or issued pursuant to the Agreement and not repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Option set forth in Section 3.1 of the Agreement.

 6. Your duties hereunder may be altered, amended, modified or revoked only by a writing signed by all of the parties hereto. 
  
 7. You shall be obligated only for the performance of such duties as are

evidence of such good faith. 
  
 8. You are hereby expressly
authorized to disregard any and all warnings given by any of the parties hereto or by any other person or corporation, excepting only orders or process of courts of law and are hereby expressly authorized to comply with and obey orders, judgments or
decrees of any court. In case you obey or comply with any such order, judgment or decree, you shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person, firm or corporation by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding any such order,
judgment or decree being subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside, vacated or found to have been entered without jurisdiction.

Company will reimburse you for any reasonable attorneys’ fees with respect thereto.

termination, the Company shall appoint a successor Escrow Agent. 
  
 13. If you reasonably require other or further instruments in connection with these Joint Escrow Instructions or obligations in respect hereto, the necessary parties hereto shall join in furnishing such instruments. 
  
 14. It is understood and agreed that should any dispute arise with respect to
the delivery and/or ownership or right of possession of the securities held by you hereunder, you are authorized and directed to retain in your possession without liability to anyone all or any part of said securities until such disputes shall have
been settled either by mutual written agreement of the parties concerned or by a final order, decree or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction after the time for appeal has expired and no appeal has been perfected, but you shall be under no
duty whatsoever to institute or defend any such proceedings.

Company in care of the Secretary of the Company, and any notice to be given to Holder or you shall be addressed to the address given beneath Holder’s and your signatures on the signature page to this Agreement. By a notice given pursuant to
