CIENA CORPORATION
2017 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN
MARKET STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
TERMS AND CONDITIONS


									
	Market Stock Unit Transferability
	This grant is an award of the number of market stock units set forth on the first page of this Agreement (or, in the case of electronic delivery, as set forth in the grant details for this Award set forth in the Company’s selected broker’s website), subject to the performance and vesting conditions described in this Agreement (“Restricted Stock Units”). Your Restricted Stock Units may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated, whether by operation of Applicable Law or otherwise, nor may the Restricted Stock Units be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process.	
			
	Performance Earning
	Your Restricted Stock Units may be earned during the three-year period beginning with the Company’s fiscal year 20[__] and continuing through the Company’s fiscal year 20[__] (the “Performance Period”) based on the Company’s achievement of the performance goal set forth in Appendix A to this Agreement.

The number of Restricted Stock Units issuable under this award will be determined in accordance with the performance goal set forth in Appendix A and, specifically, the detail and the embedded table set forth therein.

Any portion of your Restricted Stock Units that is not earned by the end of the Performance Period will be forfeited.
	
			
	Vesting
	If Restricted Stock Units are earned during the Performance Period, the aggregate number of such earned Restricted Stock Units shall vest on December 20, 20[__] (the “Vesting Date”), provided you remain in Service through the Vesting Date unless otherwise indicated in this Agreement. Any resulting fractional shares shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share; provided, that you may not vest in more than 200% of the number of Market Stock Units set forth on the first page of this Agreement. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, any earned but unvested Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited in their entirety in the event that you cease to be employed by the Company for any reason prior to the Vesting Date.

	Share Delivery Pursuant to Vested Restricted Stock Units;
Tax-Related Items


	Shares of Stock underlying the vested portion of the Restricted Stock Units will be delivered to you by the Company as soon as practicable following the Vesting Date, but in no event beyond 21⁄2 months after the end of the calendar year in which the shares would have been otherwise delivered or otherwise in accordance with the terms of any deferral election validly made under the Ciena Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan or any successor plan. Upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, a brokerage account in your name will be credited with shares of Stock representing the number of shares that vested under this grant (the “Vested Shares”) net of any Tax-Related Items (as defined below), as applicable. If the vesting date is not a trading day, Vested Shares will be delivered on the next trading day (or as soon as practicable thereafter).


Regardless of any action the Company or the Affiliate to whom you provide Services (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 the Restricted Stock Units and/or your participation in the Plan and legally applicable or deemed to be applicable to you (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer, if any. You further acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including, but not limited to, the grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the issuance of shares of Stock upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of shares of Stock acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends and/or any dividend equivalents; and (2) 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 your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result (each as determined by the Company in its sole discretion). Further, if you have become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.


By accepting this award, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (a) requiring your payment in cash or other immediately available funds to the Company and/or the Employer; (b) withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Employer; (c) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Vested Shares either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent) (an “Automatic Sale”); (d) withholding shares of Stock to be issued upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units; or (e) any other method of withholding determined by the Company and permitted by applicable law.


You further acknowledge that, in the event of an Automatic 
	


3








									
			
		Sale, this irrevocable written instruction is intended to constitute an instruction pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act with the Automatic Sale intended to comply with these requirements. As such, all provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistent with Rule 10b5-1 and shall be automatically modified to the extent necessary to comply therewith. The Company shall be responsible for the payment of any brokerage commissions relating to any Automatic Sale.

Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates in your jurisdiction(s) to the extent permitted by the Plan, in which case you may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in Stock.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Stock, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Stock subject to the Vested Shares, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of your participation in the Plan.

The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares of Stock or the proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock, if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
	
			
	Forfeiture of Unvested Restricted Stock Units
	Except as specifically provided in this Agreement or as may be provided in other agreements between you and the Company, no additional Restricted Stock Units will vest after your Service has terminated for any reason and you will forfeit to the Company all of the Restricted Stock Units that have not yet vested or with respect to which all applicable restrictions and conditions have not lapsed upon such date of termination of your Service.
	
			
	Deferral of Compensation
	Delivery of shares underlying any award of Restricted Stock Units and treatment hereunder shall be subject to any deferral election validly made by eligible participants under the Ciena Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan or any successor plan.
	
			
	Death
	If your Service terminates because of your death prior to your Retirement, the Restricted Stock Units earned, but not yet vested, under this Agreement will automatically vest as to the number of Restricted Stock Units earned prior to the date of death.	
			


4








									
	Disability
	If your Service terminates because of your Disability prior to your retirement, the Restricted Stock Units earned, but not yet vested under this Agreement will automatically vest as to the number of Restricted Stock Units earned prior to the date of Disability.
	
			
	Retirement (Applicable to U.S., U.K., and Canada employees at time of Grant only)	If you are a resident of the U.S., U.K, or Canada on the Grant Date and your Service terminates because of your Retirement prior to the completion of the Performance Period, any unearned Restricted Stock Units granted under this Agreement will remain outstanding notwithstanding such termination of Service and will continue to be eligible to be earned based on the Company’s actual achievement of the performance goal set forth in Appendix A during the Performance Period, with the amount earned by you to be prorated based on the number of calendar days in the Performance Period during which you were actually in Service, with a minimum proration of 50% of the calendar days in the Performance Period.  If your service terminates because of your Retirement prior to the Vesting Date, any Restricted Stock Units earned during the Performance Period (including any Restricted Stock Units earned pursuant to the preceding sentence) will continue to vest on the schedule indicated above under “Vesting”.  


For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” means your voluntary termination of Service following:


(i) your completion of 10 years of Service (which need not           have been consecutive), including up to six years of prior employment or service to any entity acquired by the Company or its Affiliates (provided you have completed four years of Service following the most recent of such acquisitions); and 


(ii) your attainment of age 60;


provided, however, that in order to receive any vesting benefit under this section, you must provide the Company with 12 months (the “Notice Period”) irrevocable advance written notice of your termination of Service, which notice can only be delivered after meeting the above eligibility requirements (the “Notice Requirement”). 


If your Service terminates for any reason after you have submitted notice of Retirement to the Company pursuant to the preceding sentence but prior to the last day of the Notice Period for any reason other than (A) by the Company without Cause (as defined in the Executive Severance Benefit Plan, or if you are not a participant in such plan, as defined in the Plan) or (B) due to your death or Disability, you will forfeit to the Company all of the Restricted Stock Units that have not yet vested or with respect to which all applicable restrictions and conditions have not lapsed upon such termination of  Service. If at any time after you have submitted notice of Retirement your Service is terminated by the Company without Cause, or your Service terminates because of your death or Disability, then the Notice Requirement will be deemed to have been satisfied. 


You understand and agree that you will no longer be eligible to receive additional equity grants following submission of your notice of Retirement to the Company.

	Termination For Cause
	If your Service is terminated for Cause, then you shall immediately forfeit all rights to your Restricted Stock Units, whether or not previously earned, and this award shall immediately terminate, effective as of the date of termination.	
			
	Leaves of Absence
	For purposes of this grant, your Service does not terminate when you go on a bona fide leave of absence approved by the Company, if the terms of your leave provide for continued Service crediting, or when continued Service crediting is required by Applicable Law. The Company will determine, in its sole discretion, and in accordance with applicable laws, whether and when a leave of absence constitutes a termination of Service under the Plan.
	
			
	Retention Rights
	Neither your Restricted Stock Units nor this Agreement give you the right to be retained by the Company, the Employer or any Affiliate in any capacity and your Service may be terminated at any time and for any reason.
	
			
	Shareholder Rights
	You have no rights as a shareholder unless and until the shares of Stock relating to the Restricted Stock Units have been issued to you (or an appropriate book entry has been made). Except as described in the Plan or herein, no adjustments are made for dividends or other rights if the applicable record date occurs before your shares of Stock are issued (or an appropriate book entry has been made).

If the Company pays a dividend on its Stock, you will, however, be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the per-share dividend paid on the Stock times the number of Restricted Stock Units that you hold as of the record date for the dividend; provided, however, such Dividend Equivalents Rights shall not vest or become payable unless and until the Restricted Stock Units to which the Dividend Equivalent Rights correspond become vested and nonforfeitable pursuant to this Agreement or the Plan.
	
			
	Section 409A	The Restricted Stock Units are intended to be exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A of the Code and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted in accordance with that intent. Each payment under this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2). Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if any provision of the Plan or this Agreement contravenes Section 409A of the Code or could cause you to incur any tax, interest or penalties under Section 409A of the Code, the Company may, in its sole reasonable discretion and without your consent, modify such provision to (i) comply with, or avoid being subject to, Section 409A of the Code, or to avoid the incurrence of taxes, interest and penalties under Section 409A of the Code, and (ii) maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent and economic benefit to you of the applicable provision without materially increasing the cost to the Company or contravening the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. This Section does not create an obligation on the part of the Company to modify the Plan or this Agreement and does not guarantee that the Restricted Stock Units or the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock 	


6








									
		Units will not be subject to interest and penalties under Section 409A of the Code.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, to the extent that you are a “specified employee” (within the meaning of the Company’s established methodology for determining “specified employees” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code), payment or distribution of any amounts with respect to any Restricted Stock Unit that is subject to Section 409A of the Code will be made as soon as practicable following the first business day of the seventh month following your “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) from the Company and its Affiliates, or, if earlier, the date of your death.
	
	Nature of Grant	In accepting the award and the Restricted Stock Units, you acknowledge, understand and agree that:

(1) 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;

(2) the grant 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 in the past;

(3) all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Unit grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

(4) your participation in the Plan is voluntary;

(5) the Restricted Stock Units and the shares of Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income from and value of such Restricted Stock Units, are not intended to replace any pension rights;

(6) the Restricted Stock Units and the shares of Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income from and value of such Restricted Stock Units, are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of Service payments, bonuses, holiday pay, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments, except if and as explicitly required by applicable law;	


7








									
		(7) the Restricted Stock Unit grant and your participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form or amend a Service contract or relationship with the Company, the Employer or any Affiliate;

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

(9) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units resulting from termination of your Service relationship with the Company or the Employer except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement (whether or not in breach of contract or local employment laws in the country where you reside, even if otherwise applicable to your employment benefits from the Employer, and/or later found to be invalid), and in consideration of the grant of the Restricted Stock Units, you irrevocably agree never to institute any claim against the Company, the Employer or any Affiliate, waive your ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and release the Company, the Employer and any Affiliate from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by accepting this award of Restricted Stock Units, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agree to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claims;

(10) except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, in the event of termination of your Service relationship (whether or not in breach of contract or local employment laws in the country where you reside, even if otherwise applicable to your employment benefits from the Employer, and/or later found to be invalid), your right to vest in the Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that you are no longer actively providing Services to the Company, the Employer or any Affiliate as a Service Provider and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active Service as a Service Provider would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer actively providing Services for purposes of your Restricted Stock Units grant;

(11) the Restricted Stock Units and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement, not otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, to have the Restricted Stock Units or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company, nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Stock (including a Corporate Transaction);

(A)    the Restricted Stock Units and the shares of Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income from and value of such Restricted Stock Units, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past Services for the Company, the Employer or any Affiliate; and

(B)    you acknowledge and agree that neither the Company, the Employer nor any Affiliate shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Employer’s local currency and the United States dollar that may affect the value of any proceeds from the sale of shares of Stock acquired under the Plan.	
			
	Forfeiture; Recoupment
	This Award shall be subject to mandatory repayment by the Grantee to the Company (i) to the extent set forth in the Plan or this Award Agreement or (ii) to the extent the Grantee is, or in the future becomes, subject to (A) any Company or Affiliate “clawback” or recoupment policy that is adopted by the Company, including to comply with the requirements of Applicable Law, or (B) any Applicable Law that imposes mandatory recoupment, under circumstances set forth in such Applicable Law.	
			
	Data Privacy	(a)    Declaration of Consent.  If you would like to participate in the Plan, you understand that you need to review the following information about the processing of your personal data by or on behalf of the Company, the Employer, and/or any Affiliate as described in this Agreement and any other Plan materials (the “Personal Data”) and declare your consent.  As regards the processing of your Personal Data in connection with the Plan and the Agreement, you understand that the Company is the controller of your Personal Data.


(b)    Data Processing and Legal Basis.  The Company collects, uses, and otherwise processes Personal Data about you for the purposes of allocating shares of Stock and implementing, administering, and managing the Plan.  You understand that this Personal Data may include, without limitation, your name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport number or other identification number (e.g., 
	
			


9








									
		resident registration number), salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company or its Affiliates, details of all Restricted Stock Units or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, purchased, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor.  The legal basis for the processing of the Personal Data will be your consent.


(c)    Stock Plan Administration Service Provider.  You understand that the Company transfers your Personal Data, or parts thereof, to E*TRADE Financial Corporate Services, Inc. (and its affiliated companies), an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration, and management of the Plan.  In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and share your Personal Data with such different service provider that serves the Company in a similar manner.  You understand and acknowledge that the Company’s service provider will open an account for you to receive and trade shares purchased under the Plan and that you will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, which is a condition of your ability to participate in the Plan.


(d)    International Data Transfers.  You understand that the Company and any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration, and management of the Plan, such as the Company’s service providers, are based in the United States as of the date hereof.

The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of your Personal Data is your consent.


(e)    Data Retention.  You understand that the Company will use your Personal Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer, and manage your participation in the Plan, or to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and securities laws.  In the latter case, you understand and acknowledge that the Company’s legal basis for the processing of your Personal Data would be compliance with the relevant laws or regulations or the pursuit by the Company of respective legitimate interests not outweighed by your interests, rights, or freedoms.  When the Company no longer needs your Personal Data for any of the above purposes, you understand the Company will remove it from its systems.


	


10








									
		(f)    Voluntariness and Consequences of Denial/Withdrawal of Consent.  You understand that your participation in the Plan and your grant of consent is purely voluntary.  You may deny or later withdraw your consent at any time, with future effect, and for any or no reason.  If you deny or later withdraw your consent, the Company can no longer offer participation in the Plan or offer other awards to you or administer or maintain such awards, and you would no longer be able to participate in the Plan.  You further understand that denial or withdrawal of your consent would not affect your status or salary as an employee or your career and that you would merely forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan.


(g)    Data Subject Rights.  You understand that data subject rights regarding the processing of Personal Data vary depending on the applicable law and that, depending on where you are based and subject to the conditions set out in the applicable law, you may have, without limitation, the right to (i) inquire whether and about what kind of Personal Data the Company holds about you and how it is processed, and to access or request copies of such Personal Data; (ii) request the correction or supplementation of Personal Data about you that is inaccurate, incomplete, or out-of-date in light of the purposes underlying the processing; (iii) request the erasure of Personal Data that is (A) no longer necessary for the purposes underlying the processing, (B) processed based on withdrawn consent, (C) processed for legitimate interests that, in the context of your objection, do not prove to be compelling, or (D) processed in non-compliance with applicable legal requirements; (iv) request the Company to restrict the processing of your Personal Data in certain situations where you feel its processing is inappropriate; (v) object, in certain circumstances, to the processing of Personal Data for legitimate interests; and (vi) request portability of your Personal Data that you have actively or passively provided to the Company (which does not include data derived or inferred from the collected data), where the processing of such Personal Data is based on consent or your employment or service contract and is carried out by automated means.  In case of concerns, you understand that you may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent local data protection authority.  Further, to receive clarification of or to exercise any of your rights, you understand that you should contact your local human resources representative or Ciena’s stock administration department.

Your country may require that you report such accounts, assets or transactions to the applicable authorities in your country.  You may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of your participation in the Plan to your country through a designated bank or broker within a certain time after receipt.  You are responsible for knowledge of and compliance with any such regulations and should speak with your own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding the same.

Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable insider trading policy of the Company.

		Foreign Account / Assets Reporting Information. Foreign property, including Restricted Stock Units, shares of Stock acquired under the Plan and other rights to receive shares (e.g., Restricted Stock Units) of a non-Canadian company held by a Canadian resident must generally be reported annually on a Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of the foreign property exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year.  Thus, such Restricted Stock Units must be reported - generally at a nil cost - if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because other foreign property is held by you.  When shares of Stock are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the shares.  The ACB would ordinarily equal the fair market value of the shares at the time of acquisition, but if you own other shares of the same company, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares.  You should consult with your personal tax advisor to determine your reporting requirements.
