QUICKLOGIC CORPORATION

 

2009 STOCK PLAN

 

NOTICE OF GRANT OF STOCK PURCHASE RIGHT

 

Unless otherwise defined
herein, the terms defined in the 2009 Stock Plan (the “Plan”) will have the
same defined meanings in this Notice of Grant of Stock Purchase Right and the
Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Restricted
Stock Purchase Agreement” or “Agreement”).

 

QuickLogic Corporation is
pleased to inform you that you, the undersigned Purchaser, have been granted a
right to purchase Restricted Stock (hereinafter referred to as the “Shares”) of
the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this
Agreement, as follows:

 

	
  Purchaser:

  
	
  Grant Number:

  
	
  Date of Grant:

  
	
  Expiration Date:

  
	
  Vesting Commencement Date:

  
	
  Exercise Price, per Share:

  
	
  Number of Shares Granted:

  
	
   

  
	
  Vesting Schedule (Check one):

  

 

Exercise and
Vesting Schedule:
This grant is exercisable immediately, in whole or in part, and the Restricted
Stock shall vest according to the following vesting schedule.  Purchaser will generally be taxed
when the Restricted Stock vests and the Company’s repurchase option has
lapsed.  The Restricted Stock is intended
(but not guaranteed) to vest in an open trading window under the Company’s
insider trading policy.  This should help
enable the Purchaser to sell a portion of the delivered shares to cover the
Purchaser’s tax obligations.  If the
trading window is closed on a scheduled vesting date, vesting of the Restricted
Stock will be delayed until the trading window is open.  A Purchaser vests in the Restricted Stock in accordance with the following vesting
schedule, so long as a Vesting Cessation Date has not yet occurred:

 

25% of the shares will vest on the first open
trading day under the Company’s insider trading policy occurring on or after
the one year anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date; thereafter, 1/16 of
the Shares will vest on the first open trading day under the Company’s insider
trading policy on or after each successive quarter following the first
anniversary, so as to be 100% vested on the first open trading day on or after
the fourth anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date.

 

 

25% of the shares are scheduled to vest on
the first open trading day under the Company’s insider trading policy on or
after each quarter following the Vesting Commencement Date, so as to be 100%
vested on the first open trading day on or after the first anniversary of the
Vesting Commencement Date.

 

The shares are immediately vested upon grant.

 

Other:

 

In no event shall the Shares vest after the 10th anniversary of the Date of Grant.

 

For instance,
assume a Purchaser received a stock purchase right to acquire 160 shares on
2/15/06 under scheduled vesting date alternative 1, and that the Purchaser
exercised the purchase right.  If the
trading window under the Company’s insider trading policy is open on 2/15/07,
5/15/07 and 8/15/07, the Purchaser would vest 40 shares on 2/15/07, 10 shares
on 5/15/07 and 10 shares on 8/15/07.  If
the trading window was closed 3/1/07 and reopened 8/20/07, the Purchaser would
vest 40 shares on 2/15/07 and 20 shares on 8/20/07.

 

In these examples,
if the Purchaser ceased providing services to the Company as a director,
employee or consultant on 6/1/07, the individual would have vested in 50 shares
in the open trading window scenario, and in 40 shares under the closed trading
window scenario.

 

YOU MUST EXERCISE THIS
STOCK PURCHASE RIGHT BEFORE THE EXPIRATION DATE OR IT WILL TERMINATE AND YOU
WILL HAVE NO FURTHER RIGHT TO PURCHASE THE SHARES.

 

Non-Transferability of
Stock Purchase Right.  This Stock Purchase Right may not be
transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any manner (whether by
operation of law or otherwise) otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent
or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of Purchaser only by
Purchaser.  Upon any attempt to
transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this Stock
Purchase Right or the unreleased shares, or any right or privilege conferred
hereby, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar
process, this right and the rights and privileges conferred hereby immediately
will become null and void.  The terms of the Restricted Stock
Purchase Agreement, Plan and Notice of Grant of Stock Purchase Right will be
binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of
the Purchaser.

 

Termination of
Relationship as a Service Provider or Provision of Notice of Employment
Termination; Vesting Cessation Date.  If Purchaser (i)
ceases to provide ongoing service as a Service Provider (for any reason and
regardless of any appropriate court finding such termination unfair or
irregular on any basis whatsoever), or (ii) the Purchaser is provided with
notice of termination of employment (for any reason and regardless of any
appropriate court finding the related termination unfair or irregular on any
basis whatsoever) and ceases to provide ongoing service during the notice
period, the Company will, in the period commencing (a) on the earlier of the
date of such cessation as a Service Provider or the last date of ongoing
service after receiving a notice of termination of employment, or (b) such
later date as required by Applicable 

 

 

2

 

Law (the earlier
of these dates or such later date required by Applicable Law is referred to
herein as the “Vesting Cessation Date”, as reasonably fixed and determined by
the Administrator) and ending three months later, have an irrevocable,
exclusive option to repurchase up to that number of Shares which constitute the
Unreleased Shares (as defined in Section 4) at the original Exercise Price per
share (the “Repurchase Price”) (the “Repurchase Option”). At the sole
discretion of Company, subject to Applicable Law, Purchaser may be paid a lump
sum for their cash compensation in lieu of notice.

 

The Restricted Stock
Purchase Agreement (including exhibits A-1 to A-3) and the Plan are
incorporated herein by reference.  This
Notice of Grant, the Plan and Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement (including
exhibits A-1 to A-3 referenced therein) constitute the entire agreement of the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their
entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Purchaser
with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to
the Purchaser’s interest except by means of an express written contract signed
by the Company and Purchaser.  The
Company will administer the Plan from the United States of America, and any
disputes will be settled in the U.S. according to U.S. law.  This Notice of Grant of Stock Purchase Right,
Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement (including exhibits A-1 to A-3), Plan and
all awards are governed by the internal substantive laws, but not the choice of
law principles, of the State of California, United States of America.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
the Plan or the Agreement (including exhibits A-1 to A-3), the Company reserves
the right to revise this Agreement as it deems necessary or advisable, in its
sole discretion and without Purchaser’s consent, to comply with Section 409A or
to otherwise avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition under
Section 409A prior to the actual issuance of Restricted Stock or prior to the
lapse of repurchase rights under this Agreement.

 

By Purchaser’s signature
and the signature of the Company’s representative below, Purchaser and the
Company agree that this Stock Purchase Right is granted under and governed by
the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement
(including exhibits A-1 to A-3) and this Notice of Grant of Stock Purchase
Right.  Purchaser has reviewed the Plan,
the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement (including exhibits A-1 to A-3) and
this Notice of Grant of Stock Purchase Right, has had an opportunity to obtain
the advice of counsel prior to executing this Agreement and fully understands
all provisions of the Plan, the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement (including
exhibits A-1 to A-3) and this Notice of Grant of Stock Purchase Right.  Purchaser agrees to accept as binding,
conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Administrator upon
any questions relating to the Plan, the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement
(including exhibits A-1 to A-3) and this Notice of Grant of Stock Purchase
Right.  Purchaser further agrees to
notify the Company upon any change in the residence indicated in the Notice of
Grant of Stock Purchase Right.

EXHIBIT A

 

RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

1.             Sale of Stock.  The Company
hereby agrees to sell to the individual named in the Notice of Grant of Stock
Purchase Right (the “Purchaser”), and the Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase
the number of Shares set forth in the Notice of Grant of Stock Purchase Right,
at the exercise price per share set forth in the Notice of Grant of Stock
Purchase Right (the “Exercise Price”), and subject to the terms and conditions
of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference.  In the event of a conflict between the terms
and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the
Plan will prevail.

 

2.             Payment of Purchase Price. 
Upon exercise of the Stock Purchase Right, Purchaser shall deliver to
the Company the aggregate Exercise Price for the Shares by cash or check,
together with any and all withholding taxes due in connection with the purchase
of the Shares.

 

3.             Repurchase Option.

 

(a)           The Repurchase Option may be exercised by the Company
by delivering written notice to the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s executor (with
a copy to the Escrow Holder (as defined in Section 7)) AND, at the Company’s
option, (i) by delivering to the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s executor a check
in the amount of the aggregate Repurchase Price, or (ii) by the Company
canceling an amount of the Purchaser’s indebtedness to the Company equal to the
aggregate Repurchase Price, or (iii) by a combination of (i) and (ii) so that
the combined payment and cancellation of indebtedness equals such aggregate
Repurchase Price.  Upon delivery of such
notice and the payment of the aggregate Repurchase Price in any of the ways
described above, the Company will become the legal and beneficial owner of the
Unreleased Shares being repurchased and all rights and interests therein or
relating thereto, and the Company will have the right to retain and transfer to
its own name the number of Unreleased Shares being repurchased by the Company.

 

(b)           If no cash consideration was used to pay for the
Restricted Stock (for example, if the Shares were purchased by prior Service),
the Repurchase Option will be exercised by the Company by delivering written
notice to the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s executor (with a copy to the Escrow
Holder (as defined in Section 7)). Upon delivery of such notice, the Company
will become the legal and beneficial owner of the Unreleased Shares being
repurchased and all rights and interests therein or relating thereto, and the
Company will have the right to retain and transfer to its own name the number
of Unreleased Shares being repurchased by the Company.

 

(c)           Whenever the Company will have the right to repurchase
the Unreleased Shares hereunder, the Company may designate and assign one or
more employees, officers, directors or shareholders of the Company or other
persons or organizations to exercise all or a part of the Company’s Repurchase
Option to purchase all or a part of the Unreleased Shares.  If the Fair Market Value of the Unreleased
Shares to be repurchased on the date of such designation or assignment (the “Repurchase
FMV”) exceeds the aggregate Repurchase Price of the 

 

5

 

Unreleased Shares, then
the Administrator may require each such designee or assignee to pay the Company
cash equal to the difference between the Repurchase FMV and the aggregate
Repurchase Price of Unreleased Shares to be purchased.

 

(d)           If the Company or its assignee does not elect to
exercise the Repurchase Option conferred above by giving the requisite notice
within three (3) months following Purchaser’s Vesting Cessation Date, the
Repurchase Option will terminate.

 

4.             Release of Shares From Repurchase Option.

 

(a)           The Repurchase Option shall lapse as the Shares vest,
as set forth in the Notice of Grant of Stock Purchase Right, or any other duly
authorized written agreement between Company and Purchaser.

 

(b)           Any of the Shares which have not yet been released
from the Company’s Repurchase Option are referred to herein as “Unreleased
Shares”.

 

(c)           The Shares which have been released from the Company’s
Repurchase Option will be delivered to the Purchaser at the Purchaser’s request
(see Section 7).

 

5.             Payment after Vesting.  Any Restricted Stock that vests in accordance
with the Notice of Grant of Stock Purchase Right will be released from escrow
to Purchaser (or in the event of the Purchaser’s death, to Purchaser’s estate),
provided that to the extent determined appropriate by the Company, any federal,
state and local withholding taxes, fringe benefit tax (“FBT”) or National
Insurance Contribution (“NIC”) tax with respect to such Restricted Stock will
be paid by the Purchaser in the manner allowed by the Company.

 

6.             Restriction on Transfer.  Except for
the escrow described in Section 7 or transfer of the Shares to the Company or
its assignees contemplated by this Agreement, none of the Shares or any
beneficial interest therein will 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, encumbered or otherwise disposed of in
any way until the release of such Shares from the Company’s Repurchase Option
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, other than by will or the
laws of descent and distribution.  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.

 

7.             Escrow of Shares.

 

(a)           To ensure the availability for delivery of the Purchaser’s
Unreleased Shares upon exercise of the Repurchase Option by the Company, the
Purchaser will, upon exercise of the Stock Purchase Right, deliver and deposit
with an escrow holder designated by the Company (the “Escrow Holder”) the share
certificates representing the Unreleased Shares, together with the Assignment
Separate from Certificate (the “Stock Assignment”) duly endorsed in blank,
attached hereto as Exhibit A-1. 
The Unreleased Shares and Stock Assignment will be 

 

6

 

held by the Escrow
Holder, pursuant to the Joint Escrow Instructions of the Company and Purchaser
attached as Exhibit A-2 hereto, until such time as the Company’s
Repurchase Option expires.

 

(b)           The Escrow Holder will not be liable for any act it
may do or omit to do with respect to holding the Unreleased Shares in escrow
and while acting in good faith and in the exercise of its judgment.

 

(c)           If the Company or any assignee exercises its
Repurchase Option hereunder, the Escrow Holder, upon receipt of written notice
of such option exercise from the proposed transferee, will take all steps
necessary to accomplish such transfer.

 

(d)           When the Repurchase Option has been exercised or
expires unexercised or a portion of the Shares has been released from such
Repurchase Option, upon Purchaser’s request the Escrow Holder will promptly
cause a new certificate to be issued for such released Shares and will deliver
such certificate to the Company or the Purchaser, as the case may be.

 

(e)           Subject to the terms hereof, once the Stock Purchase
Right is exercised, the Purchaser will have all the rights of a shareholder,
and shall be a shareholder when his or her purchase is entered upon the records
of the duly authorized transfer agent of the Company, including without
limitation, the right to vote the Shares and receive any cash dividends
declared thereon.  No adjustment will be
made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the
date the Stock Repurchase Right is exercised, except as provided in Section 14
of the Plan.  If, from time to time
during the term of the Company’s Repurchase Option, there is (i) any stock
dividend, stock split or other change in the Shares, or (ii) any merger or sale
of all or substantially all of the assets or other acquisition of the Company,
any and all new, substituted or additional securities to which the Purchaser is
entitled by reason of the Purchaser’s ownership of the Shares will be
immediately subject to this escrow, deposited with the Escrow Holder and
included thereafter as “Shares” for purposes of this Agreement and the Company’s
Repurchase Option, in an amount proportional to the Unreleased Shares.

 

8.             Restrictive Legends; Stop-Transfer
Orders; Refusal to Transfer.

 

(a)           Purchaser understands and agrees that the Company will
cause the legends set forth below or legends substantially equivalent thereto,
to be placed upon any certificate(s) evidencing ownership of the Shares
together with any other legends that may be required by the Company or by
applicable state or federal securities laws:

 

THE SHARES
REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER
AND A REPURCHASE OPTION HELD BY THE ISSUER OR ITS ASSIGNEE(S) AS SET FORTH IN
THE RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL
HOLDER OF THESE SHARES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE
OF THE ISSUER.  SUCH TRANSFER
RESTRICTIONS, RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AND 

 

7

 

REPURCHASE OPTION
ARE BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.

 

(b)           Stop-Transfer Notices.  Purchaser
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)           Refusal to Transfer.  The Company
will not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares 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 or to accord the right to
vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares
will have been so transferred.

 

9.             Tax Withholding and Consequences. 
Regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all
income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other
tax-related withholding, fringe benefit tax (“FBT”) or National Insurance
Contribution (“NIC”) relating to the grant, vesting, release, cancellation or
transfer of the related Shares (“Tax-Related Items”), Purchaser acknowledges
that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by Purchaser
are and remain Purchaser’s responsibility and that the Company (i) make no
representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related
Items in connection with any aspect of the grant of Restricted Stock, including
the grant of a Stock Purchase Right, vesting and lapse of repurchase rights,
the subsequent sale of shares and/or the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do
not commit to structure the terms of the grant of a Stock Purchase Right or the
terms of underlying Restricted Stock to reduce or eliminate Purchaser’s
liability for Tax-Related Items.

 

Purchaser agrees to make
appropriate arrangements with the Company (or the Parent or Subsidiary
employing or retaining Purchaser) in accordance with the procedures offered by
the Company for the satisfaction of all federal, state, local and foreign
income and employment tax withholding requirements, FBT or NIC tax applicable
to the grant, vesting or delivery of Shares pursuant to this award of Stock
Purchase Rights.  Purchaser also agrees
to reimburse or pay the Company (including its Subsidiaries) in full, any liability that the Company
incurs towards any FBT or NIC
paid or payable in respect of the grant, vesting, release, cancellation,
transfer or delivery of the Shares, within the time and in the manner prescribed by the Company.  The Administrator may in its sole
discretion determine amounts and whether the withholding taxes and/or FBT
and/or NIC with respect to such Shares will be paid by cash, selling a portion
of vested shares, electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable Shares having a
value equal to the minimum amount statutorily required to be withheld, selling a
sufficient number of such Shares otherwise deliverable to Purchaser through
such means as the Company may determine in its sole discretion (whether through
a broker or otherwise) having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required,
by directing of a portion of the proceeds to the Company, by payroll
withholding, by delivering already vested and owned Shares to the Company, by
delivering net shares, by direct payment from the Purchaser to the Company, by some other method, or by some
combination thereof.  Purchaser agrees to
execute any additional documents requested by the Company for such
reimbursement of such taxes to the Company.

 

8

 

Purchaser grants to the Company the irrevocable
authority, as agent of Purchaser and on Purchaser’s behalf, to sell or procure
the sale of sufficient Shares subject to this award of Stock Purchase Rights so
that the net proceeds receivable by the Company are as far as possible equal to
but not less than the amount of any withholding tax, FBT or NIC the Purchaser
is liable for (including pursuant to the preceding paragraph) and the Company
will account to Purchaser for any balance.

 

Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Company
may refuse to deliver Shares if Purchaser has not made appropriate arrangements
with the Company to satisfy tax withholding requirements, FBT or NIC.

 

Set
forth below is a brief summary as of the date of grant of this Stock Purchase
Right of some of the federal tax consequences of exercise of this Stock
Purchase Right and disposition of the Shares. 
THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS
ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

 

As the Company’s repurchase right lapses,
Purchaser will immediately recognize compensation income in an amount equal to
the difference between the Fair Market Value of the stock at the time the
Company’s repurchase right lapses and the amount paid for the stock, if any (the “Spread”), if you are a U.S taxpayer. If
you are a non-U.S. taxpayer, you will be subject to applicable taxes in your jurisdiction.

 

Alternatively, for U.S.
taxpayers the Spread on all of the Shares will be recognized by Purchaser in
connection with the exercise of the stock purchase right for shares subject to
the Repurchase Option, if an election under Section 83(b) of the Code is filed
with the Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30) days of the date of
exercise of the right to purchase stock. 
The form for making this election is attached as Exhibit A-3
hereto.

 

If Purchaser is an
Employee or former Employee, the Spread will be subject to tax withholding by
the Company, and the Company will be entitled to a tax deduction in the amount
at the time the Purchaser recognizes ordinary income with respect to a Stock
Purchase Right.  Purchaser agrees to make
appropriate arrangements with the Company (or the Parent or Subsidiary employing
or retaining Purchaser) for the satisfaction of all federal, state, and local
income and employment tax withholding requirements applicable to the purchase
of Shares or the lapse of repurchase rights hereunder.  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the
Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if such
withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of purchase.

 

The Administrator,
in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from
time to time, may permit the Purchaser to satisfy such tax withholding
obligation, in whole or in part by one or more of the following (without
limitation):  (i) paying
cash,  (ii) delivering to the Company
already vested and owned Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum
amount statutorily required to be withheld, (iii) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise
deliverable Shares having a value equal to the minimum amount statutorily
required to be withheld, or (iv) selling a sufficient number of such Shares otherwise
deliverable to Purchaser through such means as the Company may determine in its
sole discretion (whether through a 

 

9

 

broker or otherwise)
having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld.

 

PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS THE PURCHASER’S SOLE
RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY’S TO FILE TIMELY THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b),
EVEN IF THE PURCHASER REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS
FILING ON THE PURCHASER’S BEHALF.

 

10.           No Guarantee of Continued Service. 
PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE RELEASE OF SHARES FROM THE
REPURCHASE OPTION OF THE COMPANY PURSUANT TO SECTION 4 HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY
CONTINUING SERVICE AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (NOT THROUGH
THE ACT OF BEING HIRED OR PURCHASING SHARES HEREUNDER).  PURCHASER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES
THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING
SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF
CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY
PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH PURCHASER’S RIGHT OR THE COMPANY’S
RIGHT TO TERMINATE PURCHASER’S CONTINUOUS STATUS AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT
CAUSE, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW. ACCORDINGLY, PURCHASER
DOES NOT HAVE ANY ENTITLEMENT TO THE UNDERLYING SHARES IF PURCHASER RESIGNS OR
IF THERE IS A VESTING CESSATION DATE FOR ANY REASON PRIOR TO THE DATE THAT THE
RESTRICTED STOCK VESTS.

 

(a)           Nature of Grant. In accepting the offer to acquire Shares, Purchaser
acknowledges that: (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, unless otherwise provided in the Plan
and this Agreement; (b) the grant of a Stock Purchase Right and Restricted
Stock is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other
right to receive future grants of Stock Purchase Rights or Restricted Stock, or
benefits in lieu of such grants even if such awards have been granted
repeatedly in the past; (c) all decisions with respect to future Stock Purchase
Rights, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (d) Purchaser is
voluntarily participating in the Plan; (e) the grant of Stock Purchase Rights
and Restricted Stock is an extraordinary item that does not constitute
compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company; (f) the
Stock Purchase Right and Restricted Stock are not part of normal or expected
compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to,
resignation, termination, redundancy, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or
retirement benefits, life insurance, 401(k) profit sharing or similar payments;
(g) the future value of the Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with
certainty; and (h) that the Company will have the exclusive discretion to
determine when Purchaser is no longer providing ongoing service to the Company
for purposes of administering Purchaser’s grant of Stock Purchase Rights or
Restricted Stock.

 

(b)           Data Privacy. By accepting this Stock Purchase Right or any
Restricted Stock in payment thereof, Purchaser explicitly and unambiguously
consents to the collection, use 

 

10

 

and transfer, in
electronic or other form, of Purchaser’s personal data as described in this
document by and among, as applicable, the Company, its subsidiaries and
affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and
managing Purchaser’s participation in the Plan. For the purpose of
implementing, administering and managing the Plan, Purchaser understands that
the Company holds certain personal information about Purchaser, including, but
not limited to, Purchaser’s name, home address and telephone number, date of
birth, Tax ID or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title,
any equity or directorships held in the Company, details of all equity awards
or any entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or

administering and managing the Plan (“Data”). Purchaser understands that Data
may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation,
administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located
in Purchaser’s country or elsewhere. The Company, as a global company, may
transfer Purchaser’s personal data to countries which may not provide an
adequate level of protection. The Company, however, is committed to providing a
suitable and consistent level of protection for Purchaser’s personal data
regardless of the country in which it resides. Purchaser understands that he or
she may request information regarding the Company’s stock plan administration
by contacting Human Resources, the Chief Financial Officer or their designee.
Purchaser authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and
transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of
implementing, administering and managing Purchaser’s participation in the Plan,
including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or
other third party with whom Purchaser deposits any Shares issued at vesting or
other scheduled payout. Purchaser understands that Data will be held as long as
is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Plan. Purchaser
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 Human Resources or the Chief Financial
Officer. Purchaser understands, however, that refusing or withdrawing his or
her consent may affect Purchaser’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more
information on the consequences of Purchaser’s refusal to consent or withdrawal
of consent, Purchaser understands that he or she may contact Human Resources,
the Chief Financial Officer or their designee.

 

(c)           Electronic Delivery. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to
deliver any documents related to the award of Stock Purchase Rights or issuance
of Restricted Stock and participation in the Plan or future Stock Purchase
Rights or Restricted Stock that may be awarded under the Plan by electronic
means or to request Purchaser’s consent to participate in the Plan by
electronic means. Purchaser hereby consents to receive such documents by

Company or another third party designated by the Company.

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 the Purchaser (or Purchaser’s
estate) or the release from escrow, such issuance or release from escrow 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.

event that any provision in this Agreement will be held invalid or
unenforceable, such provision will be severable from, and such invalidity or

Attention: Corporate
Secretary

 

Dear Corporate Secretary:

 

As Escrow Agent for both
QuickLogic Corporation (the “Company”) and the undersigned purchaser of stock
of the Company (the “Purchaser”), you are hereby authorized and directed to
hold the documents delivered to you pursuant to the terms of that certain
Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) between the Company and the
undersigned, in accordance with the following instructions:

 

1.             In the event the Company and/or any assignee of the
Company (referred to collectively for convenience herein as the “Company”)
exercises the Company’s repurchase option set forth in the Agreement (the “Repurchase
Option”), the Company will give to Purchaser 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.  Purchaser 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.             At the closing, you are directed (a) to date the
stock assignments necessary for the transfer in question, (b) to fill in
the number of shares being transferred, and (c) to deliver same, together
with the certificate evidencing the shares of stock to be transferred, to the
Company or its assignee, against the simultaneous delivery to you of the
purchase price (by cash, a check, or some combination thereof) for the number
of shares of stock being purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Company’s
Repurchase Option.

 

3.             Purchaser 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.  Purchaser does hereby
irrevocably constitute and appoint you as Purchaser’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.  Subject to the provisions of this
paragraph 3, Purchaser will exercise all rights and privileges of a
shareholder of the Company while the stock is held by you.

 

 

4.             Upon written request of the Purchaser, unless the
Company’s Repurchase Option has been exercised, you will deliver to Purchaser a
certificate or certificates representing so many shares of stock as are not
then subject to the Company’s Repurchase Option.  Within four (4) months after cessation
of Purchaser’s continuous employment by or services to the Company, or any
parent or subsidiary of the Company, you will deliver to Purchaser a
certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of shares held or
issued pursuant to the Agreement and not purchased by the Company or its
assignees pursuant to exercise of the Company’s Repurchase Option.

 

5.             If at the time of termination of this escrow you
should have in your possession any documents, securities, or other property
belonging to Purchaser, you will deliver all of the same to Purchaser and will
be discharged of all further obligations hereunder.

 

6.             Your duties hereunder may be altered, amended,
modified or revoked only by a writing signed by all of the parties hereto.

 

7.             You will be obligated only for the performance of such
duties as are specifically set forth herein and may rely and will be protected
in relying or refraining from acting on any instrument reasonably believed by
you to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or
parties.  You will not be personally
liable for any act you may do or omit to do hereunder as Escrow Agent or as
attorney-in-fact for Purchaser while acting in good faith, and any act done or
omitted by you pursuant to the advice of your own attorneys will be conclusive
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 will 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.

 

9.             You will not be liable in any respect on account of
the identity, authorities or rights of the parties executing or delivering or
purporting to execute or deliver the Agreement or any documents or papers
deposited or called for hereunder.

 

10.           You will not be liable for the outlawing of any rights
under the Statute of Limitations with respect to these Joint Escrow
Instructions or any documents deposited with you.

 

11.           You will be entitled to employ such legal counsel and
other experts as you may deem necessary properly to advise you in connection
with your obligations hereunder, may rely upon the advice of such counsel, and
may pay such counsel reasonable compensation therefore.

12.           Your responsibilities as Escrow Agent hereunder will
terminate if you will cease to be an officer or agent of the Company or if you
will resign by written notice to each party. 
In the event of any such termination, the Company will 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 will 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 will 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 will be under no duty whatsoever to institute
or defend any such proceedings.

 

15.           Any notice required or permitted hereunder will be
given in writing and will be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery or
upon deposit in the United States Post Office, by registered or certified mail
with postage and fees prepaid, addressed to each of the other parties thereunto
entitled at the following addresses or at such other addresses as a party may

Unless otherwise

the same defined meanings in this Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock Units
(the “Notice of Grant”) and the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, attached
hereto as Exhibit A (the “Restricted Stock Unit Agreement” or “Agreement”).

terms and conditions of the Plan and the Agreement, as follows:

 

Grant
Number

 

Date of Grant

 

Vesting
Commencement Date

 

Number
of Restricted Stock Units

 

Vesting
Schedule:

 

Grantee will generally be taxed when the
Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) vest and Shares are delivered.  The RSUs are intended (but not guaranteed) to
vest in an open trading window under the Company’s insider trading policy.  This should help enable the Grantee to sell a
portion of the delivered shares to cover the Grantee’s tax obligations.  If the trading window is closed on a
scheduled vesting date, vesting of the RSUs will be delayed until the trading
window is open. A Grantee vests in the RSU in accordance with the following
vesting schedule, so long as a Vesting Cessation Date (as defined herein) has
not yet occurred:

 

This RSU will vest, in whole or in part,
according to the following vesting schedule:

 

Scheduled quarterly vesting
over four years with a one-year cliff.  25% of the RSU will vest on the first open
trading day under the Company’s insider trading policy occurring on or after the
one year anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date; thereafter 1/16 of the
RSUs will vest on the first open trading day under the Company’s insider
trading policy on or after each successive quarter following the first
anniversary, so as to be 100% vested on the first open trading day on or after
the fourth anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date;

 

1

 

Scheduled bi-annual
vesting over 15 quarters with a one-year cliff.  25% of the
RSUs will vest on the first open trading day under the Company’s insider trading policy
occurring on or after the one year anniversary of the Vesting
Commencement Date; 1/8 of the RSUs will vest on the first open trading day
under the Company’s insider trading policy on or after the date which is 15
months from the Vesting Commencement Date; thereafter 1/8 of the RSUs will vest
on the first open trading day under the Company’s insider trading policy on or
after each successive six months, so as to be 100% vested on the first open
trading day on or after the date which is 15 quarters from the Vesting
Commencement Date.

 

Scheduled annual vesting
over four years.  25% of the
RSUs will vest each year on the first open trading day under the Company’s insider trading policy on or
after the anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date, so as to
be 100% vested on the first open trading day on or after the fourth anniversary
of the Vesting Commencement Date;

 

Scheduled quarterly vesting
over one year.  25% of the
RSUs are scheduled to vest on the first open trading day under the Company’s
insider trading policy on or after each quarter following the Vesting
Commencement Date, so as to be 100% vested on the first open trading day on or
after the first anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date;

 

The RSUs are vested in full
upon grant; or

 

Other:

 

Example:

 

Grantee Montana is
awarded RSUs to acquire 160 Shares on 2/10/06 under Service Vesting alternative
1.  If the trading window under the
Company’s insider trading policy is open on 2/10/07, 5/10/07 and 8/10/07,
Grantee Montana vests as to 40 Shares on 2/10/07, 10 Shares on 5/10/07 and 10
Shares on 8/10/07.

 

If the trading
window is closed on 3/1/07 and reopens on 8/20/07, Grantee Montana vests as to
40 Shares on 2/10/07 and 20 Shares on 8/20/07.]

 

Term
of Service Vesting RSUs. 
Service vesting RSUs shall automatically expire, to the extent then
unvested, on the Vesting Cessation Date.  RSUs which
expire shall automatically become void and without further effect.  In such event, the underlying Shares shall be
returned to the Plan. The maximum term of a RSU is ten (10) years.

 

The Restricted Stock Unit
Agreement included as Exhibit A and the Plan are incorporated herein by
reference.  The Plan, Restricted Stock
Unit Agreement and this Notice of Grant constitute the entire agreement of the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their
entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Grantee with
respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the
Grantee’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and
Grantee.  The Company will administer the
Plan from the United States of America, and any disputes will be settled in the
U.S. according to U.S. law.  This Notice
of Grant, Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, Plan and all awards are governed by
the internal

substantive
laws, but not the choice of law principles, of the State of California, United
States of America.

 

By
Grantee’s signature, Grantee agrees that this award is granted under and
governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Restricted Stock Unit
Agreement and this Notice of Grant. 
Grantee has reviewed the Plan, the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement and
this Notice of Grant in their entirety, has had an opportunity to obtain the
advice of counsel prior to executing this Agreement and fully understands all
provisions of the Plan, the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement and this Notice of
Grant.  Grantee hereby agrees to accept
as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the
Administrator upon any questions relating to the Plan, the Restricted Stock
Unit Agreement and this Notice of Grant.

EXHIBIT A

 

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

 

1.             Grant of
Restricted Stock Units.  The
Company hereby grants to the Grantee named in the Notice of Grant under the
Plan an award of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), subject to all of the terms
and conditions in this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement and the Plan, which is
incorporated herein by reference. 
Subject to Section 16(c) of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between
the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan will prevail.

 

2.             Company’s
Obligation.  Each RSU
represents the right to receive a Share in accordance with the vesting schedule
in the attached Notice of Grant.  Unless
and until the RSUs vest, the Grantee will have no right to receive Shares
underlying 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.

 

3.             Vesting
Schedule.  Subject to
paragraph 4 of this Agreement, the RSUs awarded by this Agreement will vest and
all restrictions lapse according to the vesting schedule specified in the
Notice of Grant.

 

4.             Forfeiture upon
Termination as a Service Provider.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision of
this Agreement or the Notice of Grant, if the RSU expires for any or no reason
prior to vesting, the unvested RSUs awarded by the Notice of Grant and this
Agreement will thereupon be forfeited at no cost to the Company.

 

5.             Payment after
Vesting.  Any RSUs that vest in
accordance with paragraph 3 of this Agreement will be paid to the Grantee (or
in the event of the Grantee’s death, to Grantee’s estate) in Shares, provided
that to the extent determined appropriate by the Company, any federal, state
and local withholding taxes, fringe benefit tax (“FBT”) or National Insurance
Contribution (“NIC”) tax with respect to such RSUs will be paid by the Grantee
in the manner allowed by the Company.

 

6.             Tax Withholding and Consequences. 
Regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all
income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax-related withholding, FBT or NIC
paid or payable in respect of the grant, vesting, release, cancellation,
transfer of the RSUs or issuance of the related Shares (“Tax-Related Items”), Grantee acknowledges
that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by Grantee
are and remain Grantee’s responsibility and that the Company (a) makes no
representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related
Items in connection with any aspect of the grant, vesting or delivery of RSUs
or related Shares, the subsequent sale of Shares and/or the receipt of any
dividends; and (b) does not commit to structure the terms of a RSU grant to
reduce or eliminate Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items.  Set forth below is a brief summary as of the
date of grant of this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement of some of the United
States federal tax consequences of vesting of this RSU and disposition of the
Shares.  THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY
INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

 

4

 

As
the RSUs vest, Grantee will immediately recognize compensation income in an
amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the vesting Shares (the “Vest Date
Fair Market Value”) if Grantee is a U.S taxpayer.  If Grantee is a non-U.S. taxpayer, Grantee
will be subject to applicable taxes in Grantee’s jurisdiction.

 

If Grantee is an Employee
or former Employee, the Vest Date Fair Market Value will be subject to tax
withholding by the Company, and the Company will generally be entitled to a tax
deduction in the amount at the time the Grantee recognizes ordinary income with
respect to a Restricted Stock Unit Agreement.

 

7.             Tax Obligations.  Grantee agrees to make appropriate
arrangements with the Company (or the Parent or Subsidiary employing or
retaining Grantee) in accordance with the procedures offered by the Company for
the satisfaction of all federal, state, local and foreign income and employment
tax withholding requirements, FBT and NIC applicable to the grant, vesting or
issuance of Shares pursuant to an award of RSUs.  Grantee also agrees to reimburse or pay the
Company (including its subsidiaries) in
full, any liability that the Company incurs towards any FBT or NIC paid or payable in respect of the grant, vesting,
release, cancellation, transfer or delivery of the RSU or related Shares,
within the time and in the manner
prescribed by the Company.  The
Administrator may in its sole discretion determine amounts and whether the
withholding taxes and/or FBT and/or NIC with respect to such RSUs and related
Shares will be paid by cash, selling a portion of vested shares, electing to have the Company withhold
otherwise deliverable Shares having a value equal to the minimum amount
statutorily required to be withheld, selling a sufficient number of such Shares otherwise
deliverable to Grantee through such means as the Company may determine in its
sole discretion (whether through a broker or otherwise) having a Fair Market
Value equal to the amount required, by directing a portion of
the proceeds to the Company, by payroll withholding, by delivering already
vested and owned Shares to the Company, by delivering net shares, by direct
payment from the Grantee to the Company, by some other method, or by some
combination thereof.  Grantee agrees to execute any additional
documents requested by the Company for such reimbursement of such taxes to the
Company.

 

Grantee
grants to the Company the irrevocable authority, as agent of Grantee and on
Grantee’s behalf, to sell or procure the sale of sufficient Shares subject to
this award of RSUs so that the net proceeds receivable by the Company are as
far as possible equal to but not less than the amount of any withholding tax,
FBT or NIC the Grantee is liable for (including pursuant to the preceding
paragraph) and the Company will account to Grantee for any balance.

 

Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to deliver
Shares if Grantee has not made appropriate arrangements with the Company to
satisfy tax withholding requirements, FBT or NIC.

 

8.             No Guarantee of Continued Service. 
GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF RSUs PURSUANT TO THE
NOTICE OF GRANT OF RSUs HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING SERVICE AS A
SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING
HIRED).  GRANTEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND
AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE
VESTING SCHEDULE SET 

 

5

 

FORTH
HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT
AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND
WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH GRANTEE’S RIGHT OR THE COMPANY’S RIGHT TO TERMINATE
GRANTEE’S SERVICE PROVIDER STATUS AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE, EXCEPT AS
OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW. 
ACCORDINGLY, GRANTEE DOES NOT HAVE ANY ENTITLEMENT TO A RSU IF GRANTEE
RESIGNS OR IF THERE IS A VESTING CESSATION DATE FOR ANY REASON PRIOR TO THE
DATE THAT THE RSU VESTS.

 

9.             Data Privacy.  By accepting
this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement or any Shares upon vesting thereof,
Grantee explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and
transfer, in electronic or other form, of Grantee’s personal data as described
in this document by and among, as applicable, the Company, its subsidiaries and
affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and
managing Grantee’s participation in the Plan. 
For the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan,
Grantee understands that the Company holds certain personal information about
Grantee, including, but not limited to, Grantee’s name, home address and
telephone number, date of birth, Tax ID or other identification number, salary,
nationality, job title, any equity or directorships held in the Company,
details of all equity awards or any entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled,
exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Grantee’s favor, for the purpose
of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”).  Grantee understands that Data may be
transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation,
administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located
in Grantee’s country or elsewhere.  The
Company, as a global company, may transfer Grantee’s personal data to countries
that may not provide an adequate level of protection.  The Company, however, is committed to
providing a suitable and consistent level of protection for Grantee’s personal
data regardless of the country in which it resides.  Grantee understands that Grantee may request
information regarding the Company’s stock plan administration by contacting
Human Resources, the Chief Financial Officer or their designee.  Grantee authorizes the recipients to receive,
possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the
purposes of implementing, administering and managing Grantee’s participation in
the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a
broker or other third party with whom Grantee deposits any Shares issued at
vesting or other scheduled payout. 
Grantee understands that Data will be held as long as is necessary to
implement, administer and manage the Plan. 
Grantee understands that Grantee 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 Human Resources or the Chief
Financial Officer.  Grantee understands,
however, that refusing or withdrawing Grantee’s 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 Human
Resources, the Chief Financial Officer or their designee.

 

10.           Electronic Delivery.  The Company
may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the
award of RSUs or issuance of Shares and participation in the Plan or future
Restricted Stock Unit Agreements that may be awarded under the Plan by
electronic means or to request Grantee’s consent to participate in the Plan by
electronic means.  Grantee hereby
consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to
agree to participate in the Plan 

 

6

 

through
an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or
another third party designated by the Company.

 

11.           Payments after
Death.  Any distribution or delivery
to be made to the Grantee under this Agreement will, if the Grantee is then
deceased, be made to the administrator or executor of the Grantee’s estate or,
if none, to the persons entitled to received such distribution or delivery
under the Grantee’s will or the laws of descent or distribution.  Any such recipient 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.

 

12.           Grant is Not
Transferable.  Except to
the limited extent provided in paragraph 11 of this Agreement, 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.

 

13.           Rights as
Stockholder.  Neither the
Grantee nor any person claiming under or through the Grantee 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 the Grantee or Grantee’s broker
or had the Shares electronically transferred to Grantee’s account.

 

14.           Acknowledgments. 
The Grantee expressly acknowledges the following:

 

(a)           The Company (whether or not
Grantee’s employer) is granting the award of RSUs.  That the grant of the award, future grants of
awards, and benefits and rights provided under the Plan are at the complete
discretion of the Company and do not constitute regular or periodic payments,
or remuneration under the terms of employment. 
No grant of awards will be deemed to create any obligation to grant any
further awards, whether or not such a reservation is explicitly stated at the
time of such a grant.  The benefits and
rights provided under the Plan are not to be considered part of Grantee’s
salary or total compensation for purposes of determining Grantee’s entitlement
upon termination and will not be included for purposes of calculating any
severance, resignation, termination, redundancy or other end of service
payments, vacation, bonuses, long-term service awards, indemnification, pension
or retirement benefits, life insurance, 401(k) profit sharing or any other
payments, benefits or rights of any kind. 
Grantee waives any and all rights to compensation or damages as a result
of the termination of employment with the Company or its subsidiaries and the
administration of the Plan and this grant for any reason whatsoever insofar as
those rights result or may result from:

 

(i)            the loss or diminution in value of such rights under
the Plan, or

 

(ii)           Grantee ceasing to have any
rights under, or ceasing to be entitled to any rights under the Plan as a
result of such termination or administration.

 

7

 

(b)           The Company has
the right, at any time to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan.  The Plan will not be deemed to constitute,
and will not be construed by Grantee to constitute, part of the terms and
conditions of employment, and that the Company will not incur any liability of
any kind to Grantee as a result of any change or amendment, or any
cancellation, of the Plan at any time.

 

(c)           The Grantee’s employment with the Company and its
Subsidiaries is not affected at all by any award and it is agreed by the
Grantee not to create an entitlement and will not be included in the Grantee’s
entitlement at common law for damages during any reasonable notice period.  Accordingly, the terms of the Grantee’s
employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries will be determined from time
to time by the Company or the Subsidiary employing the Grantee (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 the employment of the
Grantee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without good cause or
notice, and to determine when Grantee is no longer providing ongoing service to
the Company for purposes of administering Grantee’s grant of RSUs, except as
may be expressly prohibited by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the
Grantee is employed.

 

(d)           The future value of the Shares is unknown and cannot
be predicted with certainty.

 

(e)           Choice of Language.

 

(i)            For Employees of Canadian Locations:  The undersigned agrees that it is his or her
express wish that this form and all documents relating to his or her
participation in the scheme be drawn in the English language only.  Le soussigné convient que sa
volonté expresse est que ce formulaire ainsi que tous les documents se
rapportant à sa participation au régime soient rédigés en langue anglaise
seulement.

 

(ii)           For Employees of Locations Other than
Canada:  Grantee has received this
Agreement and any other related communications and consents to having received
these documents solely in English.

 

15.           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.

 

16.           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 the Grantee (or Grantee’s 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.

 

8

 

17.           Administrator
Authority.  The
Administrator has the power to interpret the Plan, the Notice of Grant and this
Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and
application thereof as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any
such rules (including, but not limited to, the determination of whether or not
any RSUs have vested).  Any dispute regarding the interpretation
of this Agreement will be submitted by Grantee or by the Company forthwith to
the Administrator which will review such dispute at its next regular
meeting.  All actions taken and all
interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith will
be final and binding upon Grantee, the Company and all other interested
persons.  No member of the Administrator
will be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made
in good faith with respect to the Plan, the Notice of Grant or this Agreement.

 

18.           Address for Notices. 
Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement
will be made in writing and deemed effective: (i) upon delivery when delivered
in person; or (iii) when delivered by registered or certified mail, postage
prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed to the Company at 1277 Orleans
Drive, Sunnyvale, CA 94089, Attn: Stock Administrator, or at such other
address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing or electronically.

 

19.           Captions.  Captions provided herein are for convenience
only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this
Agreement.

 

20.           Agreement Severable.  In the event that any provision in this
Agreement will be held invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be
severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed
to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

 

21.           Modifications to the
Agreement.  This
Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties on the subjects
covered.  Grantee expressly warrants that
he or she is not accepting this Agreement in reliance on any promises,
representations, or inducements other than those contained herein.  Modifications to this Agreement or the Plan
can be made only in an express written contract executed by a duly authorized
officer of the Company.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, the Company reserves
the right to revise this Agreement as it deems necessary or advisable, in its
sole discretion and without the consent of Grantee, to comply with Section 409A
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or to otherwise
avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition under Section 409A
of the Code in connection to this award of RSUs.

 

22.           No Waiver.  Either party’s
failure to enforce any provision or provisions of this Agreement will not in
any way be construed as a waiver of any such provision or provisions, nor
prevent that party from thereafter enforcing each and every other provision of
this Agreement.  The rights granted both
parties herein are cumulative and will not constitute a waiver of either party’s
right to assert all other legal remedies available to it under the
circumstances.
