any Shares acquired on exercise of the Option. 
The Optionee will make adequate provision for the Company to meet its
minimum withholding obligations.

 

(e) Certificate

the certificate or certificates may, at the Company’s sole discretion be
registered in the name of a nominee who is an authorized broker for the Company’s
same-day sale program.

the Option may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption
from the registration requirements of said Act. 
As a condition to the exercise of the Option, the Company may require
the Optionee to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or
appropriate, to evidence compliance with any Applicable Laws and to make any
representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the
Company.

 

(g) Fractional Shares.  The Company shall not be required to issue
fractional Shares upon the exercise of the Option.

 

5. Non-Transferability

3COM CORPORATION

 

2003
STOCK PLAN

 

PERFORMANCE
ACCELERATED VESTING

RESTRICTED
STOCK (PAVRS) AGREEMENT

 

THIS STOCK GRANT
AGREEMENT (the “Award Agreement”) is made on <<date>>, by and between 3Com Corporation (the “Company”),
and <<recipient>> (the “Participant”).

 

The Company desires to
issue and the Participant desires to acquire shares of the Common Stock as
herein described, pursuant to the Company’s 2003 Stock Plan (the “Plan”), on
the terms and conditions set forth in this Award Agreement and the Plan, which
is incorporated herein by reference. 
Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the
meaning given to them in the Plan.

 

IT IS AGREED between the
parties as follows:

 

1.             Issuance
of Shares.  On the effective date of
this Award Agreement as set forth above (the “Grant Date”), the Company shall
issue to Participant, subject to the provisions hereof and the Plan, <<insert number>> shares of Common
Stock (the “Shares”) in consideration for the Participant’s past service with
the Company.

 

No Shares shall be issued
pursuant to this Award Agreement if the issuance and delivery of such Shares
would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities law
or other law or regulation, or would fail to satisfy the requirements of any
stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed.  As a condition to the issuance and delivery
of the Shares, the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any
qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance
with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or
warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.

 

2.             Administration.  All questions of interpretation concerning
this Award Agreement shall be determined by the Administrator.  All determinations by the Administrator shall
be final and binding upon all persons having an interest in this Award
Agreement.

 

3.             Vesting
and Unvested Share Reacquisition Right.

 

(a)           Vesting.

 

[ENTER VESTING HERE OR REFERENCE EXHIBIT]

 

(b)           One
Year Holding Requirement.  The PAVRS
granted to a Participant are subject to a holding period requirement of one (1)
year when accelerated vesting occurs.  If
the acceleration fails to take place, the Shares vesting four (4) years from
grant  (cliff vesting) do not require the
Participant to maintain a one (1)-year post vesting holding period.

 

[(c)          Tandem
Cash Award.   A tandem cash award
will be made to the Participant when the Shares vest.  The cash award is designed to assist the
Participant in paying the tax liability due upon vesting.  The amount of tax liability will be “grossed-up”
and calculated using the Participant’s marginal rate for federal and applicable
state income taxes and the then current Medicare tax rate.  The actual tandem cash award will be based on
the lesser of the value of the restricted stock at grant or at vesting.  The award will not result in a check being
directly issued to the Participant. 
Rather, the transaction will be made by payroll entries to the
Participant’s income account and the appropriate tax authorities. If the value
of the Vested Shares

 

1

 

significantly exceed the
value of the Participant’s cash award, it may be necessary to surrender the
minimum number of Shares to fully meet the Participant’s tax obligation.  In this case, the one (1)-year holding period
requirement will not apply to Shares surrendered to satisfy taxes in excess of
the value of the tandem cash award.  The
tandem cash award is provided upon acceleration or in four (4) years if cliff
vesting occurs.]

 

(d)           Unvested
Share Reacquisition Right.  In the
event the Participant’s Service Provider relationship with the Company is
terminated for any reason, with or without cause, the Company shall automatically
reacquire Shares that are not then Vested Shares (the “Unvested Shares”) and
the Participant shall not be entitled to any payment therefor (the “Unvested
Share Reacquisition Right”).

 

(e)           Change
in Control.  Subject to Section 14(c)
of the Plan, in the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan),
Shares shall be assumed or an equivalent award substituted by the successor
corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation, and the
Unvested Share Reacquisition Right attached to such Shares shall continue in
full force and effect.  In the event that
the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Shares, the
Participant shall fully vest in such Shares, including Shares as to which he or
she would not otherwise be vested.

 

(f)            Parachute
Payment.  In the event that the
acceleration of the vesting of any Unvested Shares pursuant to Section 3(e)
above will result in a “parachute payment” as defined in Section 280G of the
Code, notwithstanding Section 3(e), the extent to which vesting will be
accelerated in connection with a Change in Control shall not exceed the amount
of vesting which produces the greatest after-tax benefit to the Participant, as
determined by the Company in a fair and equitable manner.

 

4.             Legends.  The Company may at any time place legends
referencing the Unvested Share Reacquisition Right set forth in Section 3 above
and any applicable federal and/or state securities law restrictions on all
certificates representing Shares subject to the provisions of this Award
Agreement.  The Participant shall, at the
request of the Company, promptly present to the Company any and all
certificates representing Shares acquired under this Award Agreement in the
possession of the participant in order to carry out the provisions of this
Section 4.  Unless otherwise specified by
the Company, legends placed on such certificates may include, but shall not be
limited to, the following:

 

“THE SECURITIES
REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THIS
AWARD AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CORPORATION AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER, OR SUCH
HOLDER’S PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL
OFFICE OF THE CORPORATION.”

 

5.             Escrow.

 

(a)           Establishment
of Escrow.  To insure that the Shares
subject to the Unvested Share Reacquisition Right will be available for
reacquisition, the Company may require the Participant to deposit the
certificate or certificates evidencing the Unvested Shares with an escrow agent
designated by the Company under the terms and conditions of an escrow agreement
approved by the Company.  If the Company
does not require such deposit as a condition of the issuance of Shares to the
Participant, the Company reserves the right at any time to require the
Participant to so deposit the Unvested Share certificate or certificates in
escrow.  The Company shall bear the
expenses of the escrow.

 

2

 

(b)           Delivery
of Shares to Participant.  As soon as
practicable after the expiration of the Unvested Share Reacquisition Right, the
escrow agent shall deliver to the Participant the Shares no longer subject to
such restriction.

 

6.             Transfers
in Violation of Award Agreement.  The
Company shall not be required (a) to transfer on its books any Shares which are
sold or transferred in violation of any of the provisions set forth in this
Award Agreement, or (b) to treat as the owner of the Shares or to accord the
right to vote as such owner or to pay dividends to any transferee to whom the Shares
shall have been so transferred.

 

7.             Rights
as a Stockholder or Employee.  The
Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to the Shares
until such time the Shares are issued to the Participant in the form of a
certificate or certificates for the Shares. 
Except as provided in Section 14(a) of the Plan, no adjustment shall be
made for dividends or distributions or other rights for which the record date
is prior to the date such certificate or certificates are issued.  Nothing in the Plan or in this Award
Agreement shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue as a Service
Provider or to interfere in any way with any right of the Company to terminate
the Participant’s Service Provider relationship at any time.

 

8.             Further
Instruments.  The parties hereto
agree to execute such further instruments and to take such further action as
may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent of this Award Agreement.

 

9.             Notice.  Any notice required or permitted hereunder
shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon personal
delivery or upon electronic delivery, or upon delivery by certified mail,
addressed to the other party hereto at the address shown below such party’s
signature or at such other address as such party may designate by ten (10) days
advance written notice to all other parties hereto.

 

10.           Binding
Effect.  This Award Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company and, subject
to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth, be binding upon the
Participant and the Participant’s heirs, executors, administrators, successors
and assigns.

 

11.           Withholding.  At the time that this Award Agreement is
executed, or at any time thereafter as determined by the Company, the Company
shall have the right to withhold the applicable minimum withholding taxes,
including but not limited to federal tax, state tax, foreign taxes or social
taxes, if any, which arise in connection with the acquisition of Shares
pursuant to the Plan, including, without limitation, obligations arising upon
(i) the transfer, in whole or in part, of any Shares, (ii) the lapse of any
restriction with respect to any Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan, or (iii)
the filing of an election to recognize a tax liability.  The Participant authorizes the Company to
withhold from the Participant’s compensation such amounts as may be necessary
to satisfy the minimum applicable tax withholding obligations arising in
connection with the issuance of the Shares pursuant to the Plan.  The Company shall have no obligation to issue
a certificate as to the Shares and/or to release the Shares from escrow until
applicable withholding obligations have been satisfied.

 

12.           Trade
for Taxes (Swap).  Please circle
election below if you wish to trade Shares to satisfy the minimum required tax
withholding in excess of the tandem cash amount determined upon the date of
vesting outlined in Section 12 above. 
The remaining amount due after the trade, less than the value of one
