EMULEX CORPORATION

AMENDED AND RESTATED 2005 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN




RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

FOR NON-U.S. GRANTEES




     This Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into
effective as of the grant date (the “Grant Date”) set forth in the Notice of Grant of Award
attached hereto (the “Notice”), by and between Emulex Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), and the Employee (“Grantee”) named in the Notice.



     Pursuant to the Emulex Corporation Amended and Restated 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the
“Plan”), the Administrator of the Plan has authorized the grant (the “Award”) to Grantee of
restricted stock units (“Restricted Stock Units”) upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in this Agreement, in any appendix to this Agreement for Grantee’s country (the “Appendix”)
and in the Plan. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed
to them in the Plan.



     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the benefits to be derived from the
mutual observance of the covenants and promises contained herein and other good and valuable
consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:



     1. Basis for Award. This Award is made pursuant to the Plan for valid consideration provided
to the Company by Grantee. By Grantee’s execution of the Notice, Grantee agrees to the terms and
conditions of the Restricted Stock Units set forth in the Plan, the Notice and this Agreement
(including the Appendix).



     2. Restricted Stock Unit Award. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive
one (1) share of the common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) upon vesting. Grantee shall
have none of the rights of a shareholder with respect to shares of Common Stock underlying the
Award, including the right to vote the shares of Common Stock and to receive dividends thereon,
unless and until such shares of Common Stock are reflected as issued and outstanding shares on the
Company’s stock ledger.



     3. Vesting. The Restricted Stock Units shall vest according to the vesting schedule set forth
in the Notice. If Grantee ceases Continuous Service for any reason (including, without limitation,
termination of employment or service by the Company, resignation by Grantee, or Grantee’s death or
Disability), all unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be canceled immediately, as further
described in Section 7(l) below. The Administrator may accelerate vesting of the Restricted Stock
Units in such circumstances as it, in its sole discretion, may determine, consistent with the terms
of the Plan.



     4. Conversion of Units and Issuance of Shares. Upon each vesting date, one (1) share of
Common Stock shall become issuable for each Restricted Stock Unit that vests on such date. Within
five (5) days thereafter, upon satisfaction of the Tax-Related Items (as defined in Section 6
below), the Company will transfer to Grantee the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to
which the restrictions have lapsed. Prior to the date upon which all Restricted Stock Units have
fully vested (the “Final Vesting Date”), any fractional Restricted Stock Unit shall be carried
forward to the next partial vesting date. On each subsequent partial vesting date, including the
Final Vesting Date, any fractional Restricted Stock Units shall be aggregated into whole Restricted
Stock Units and such whole Restricted Stock Units shall be converted into shares of Common Stock
pursuant to the terms hereof. Any fractional Restricted Stock Unit remaining after the Award
becomes fully vested shall be settled in cash, unless otherwise provided herein.



     5. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The issuance and transfer of shares of Common Stock
shall be subject to compliance by the Company and Grantee with all applicable requirements of U.S.
federal and state securities laws, with any applicable local securities laws, with all applicable
requirements of any stock exchange on which the Company’s Common Stock may be listed at the time of
such issuance or transfer, and with other applicable laws and regulations governing the Award.



 









 





     6. Tax Obligations. Regardless of any action the Company or Grantee’s employer (the
“Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on
account or other tax-related items related to Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally
applicable to Grantee (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability
for all Tax-Related Items is and remains his or her responsibility and may exceed the amount
actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Grantee further acknowledges that the
Company and the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any
Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, the issuance of
shares of Common Stock upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of shares of
Common Stock acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends or dividend
equivalents; and (b) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the
Award or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate Grantee’s liability for
Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Grantee has become subject to
tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable
event, Grantee acknowledges that the Company or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable)
may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.



     Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Grantee will pay or
make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related
Items. In this regard, Grantee authorizes the Company and the Employer, or their respective
agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one
or a combination of the following:




	 	(i)	 	requiring Grantee to tender a cash payment to the Company or the Employer in
the amount of the Tax-Related Items;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	withholding from Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Grantee by
the Company and the Employer;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon
vesting of the Restricted Stock Units either through a voluntary sale or through a
mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Grantee’s behalf pursuant to this
authorization); and
	 
	 	(iv)	 	withholding in shares of Common Stock to be issued upon vesting of the
Restricted Stock Units.





     To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company and the Employer may withhold or account
for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts for other
applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding
in shares of Common Stock, for tax purposes, Grantee will be deemed to have been issued the full
number of shares of Common Stock subject to the vested Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that
a number of shares of Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related
Items due as a result of any aspect of Grantee’s participation in the Plan.



     Without limitation to the discretion reserved to the Company and the Employer with respect to
which withholding method to use to satisfy the obligations for Tax-Related Items, payment of the
Tax-Related Items by a Grantee who is an officer, director or other “insider” subject to Section
16(b) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) by the
withholding methods described in (iii) and (iv) above is subject to pre-approval by the
Administrator, in its sole discretion, in a manner that complies with the specificity requirements
of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, including the name of the Grantee involved in the
transaction, the nature of the transaction, the number of shares to be acquired or disposed of by
the Grantee and the material terms of the Award involved in the transaction.



     The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares of Common Stock or the proceeds of the
sale of shares of Common Stock, if Grantee fails to comply with Grantee’s obligations in connection
with the Tax-Related Items.



     7. Nature of the Award. In accepting the Award, Grantee acknowledges and agrees that:



2









 





          (a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it
may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time;




          (b) the Award of the Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create
any contractual or other right to receive future grants of restricted stock units, or benefits in
lieu of restricted stock units, even if restricted stock units have been granted repeatedly in the
past;




          (c) all decisions with respect to future grants of restricted stock units, if any, will be at
the sole discretion of the Company;




          (d) Grantee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with
the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate Grantee’s
employment relationship at any time;




          (e) Grantee is voluntarily participating in the Plan;




          (f) the Restricted Stock Units and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Restricted Stock
Units are an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of
any kind rendered to the Company or the Employer, and which is outside the scope of Grantee’s
employment contract, if any;




          (g) the Restricted Stock Units and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Restricted Stock
Units are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;




          (h) the Restricted Stock Units and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Restricted Stock
Units are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but
not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of
service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or
similar payments, and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way
to, past services for the Company or the Employer;




          (i) the Award of Restricted Stock Units and Grantee’s participation in the Plan will not be
interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or the Employer;




          (j) the future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be
predicted with certainty;




          (k) in consideration of the Award of the Restricted Stock Units, no claim or entitlement to
compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units resulting from
termination of Grantee’s Continuous Service (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach
of local labor laws) and Grantee irrevocably releases the Company and the Employer from any such
claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of
competent jurisdiction to have arisen, Grantee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived his or
her entitlement to pursue such claim;




          (l) in the event of termination of Grantee’s Continuous Service (whether or not in breach of
local labor laws), Grantee’s right to vest in the Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, if any,
will terminate effective as of the date that Grantee is no longer actively employed and will not be
extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active service would not include a
period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law), and the Administrator shall have
the exclusive discretion to determine when Grantee is no longer actively employed for purposes of
the Award of Restricted Stock Units; and




          (m) the Restricted Stock Units and the benefits under the Plan, if any, will not automatically
transfer to another company in the case of a merger, take-over or transfer of liability.




     8. No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial
advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Grantee’s participation in the Plan
or Grantee’s acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock. Grantee is hereby
advised to consult with his or her



3









 







own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding Grantee’s participation in the Plan
before taking any action related to the Plan.



     9. Data Privacy. Grantee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use
and transfer, in electronic or other form, of Grantee’s personal data as described in this
Agreement and any other Award materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company or
an Affiliate for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Grantee’s
participation in the Plan.



     Grantee understands that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information
about Grantee, including, but not limited to, his or her name, home address and telephone number,
date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job
title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all Restricted Stock
Units or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or
outstanding in Grantee’s favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and
managing the Plan (“Data”).



     Grantee understands that Data will be transferred to E*TRADE Financial Corporation or such
other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is
assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. Grantee
understands that the recipients of Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that
the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and
protections from Grantee’s country. Grantee understands that he or she may request a list with the
names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting Grantee’s local human
resources representative. Grantee authorizes the Company, E*TRADE Financial Corporation and any
other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with
implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer
Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing
Grantee’s participation in the Plan. Grantee understands that Data will be held only as long as is
necessary to implement, administer and manage his or her participation in the Plan. Grantee
understands that he or she may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the
storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the
consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing Grantee’s local human resources
representative. Grantee understands, however, that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may
affect Grantee’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of
Grantee’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Grantee understands that he or she may
contact his or her local human resources representative.
