	4.	AWARDS 

  

4.1. Performance Period; Performance Goals. (a) Not later than the earlier of (i) 90 days after the commencement
of each fiscal year of the Company and (ii) the expiration of 25% of the Performance Period, the Committee shall, in writing, designate (x) one or more Performance Periods, (y) the Participants for each Performance Period and
(z) the performance goals for determining the Award to be paid to each Participant for each Performance Period based on attainment of specified levels of one or any combination of the Performance Criteria. Within such time period the Committee
shall also specify any exclusion(s) or inclusion(s) for charges related to any event(s) or occurrence(s) which the Committee determines should appropriately be excluded or included, as applicable, for purposes of measuring performance against the
applicable Performance Criteria, which may include (a) restructurings, reorganizations, discontinued operations, non-core businesses in continuing operations, acquisitions, dispositions, or any extraordinary nonrecurring items as described in
ASC Subtopic 225-20 and/or in management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations appearing in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the applicable year, (b) the cumulative effects of tax
or accounting changes, each in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, (c) foreign exchange gains or losses, (d) stock-based compensation, (e) amortization of intangible assets, impairments of goodwill and other
intangible assets, asset write downs, or non-cash interest expense or (f) litigation or claim judgments or settlements. Any such inclusion or 

  
 2 

 
exclusion shall be prescribed in a form that meets the requirements for deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder. If the Committee determines that a
change in the business, operations, corporate structure or capital structure of the Company, or the manner in which it conducts its business, or other events or circumstances, render previously established performance goals unsuitable, the Committee
may in its discretion modify such performance goals or the related levels of achievement, in whole or in part, as the Committee deems appropriate and equitable; provided that, unless the Committee determines otherwise, no such action shall be taken
if and to the extent it would result in the loss of an otherwise available exemption of the Award under Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder. 

 
 (b) If a person becomes eligible to participate in the Plan
after the Committee has made its initial designation of Participants, such individual may become a Participant if so designated in writing by the Committee. 
  

(c) The performance goals designated by the Committee may be determined solely by reference to the Company’s performance or the
performance of an Affiliate, division, business segment or business unit of the Company, or based upon the relative performance of other companies or upon comparisons of any of the indicators of performance relative to other companies. Such
performance goals shall otherwise comply with the requirements for performance based compensation set forth in Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder. 

 
 4.2. Certification. At such time as it shall
determine appropriate following the conclusion of each Performance Period and prior to the applicable payment date (as determined in accordance with Section 4.3), the Committee shall certify, in writing, whether and to what extent the
applicable Performance Criteria have been satisfied and the amount (if any) to be paid pursuant to each Participant’s Award for such Performance Period. 
  

4.3. Payment of Awards. The amount of the Award actually paid to a Participant may, in the sole discretion of the Committee,
be reduced to less than the amount otherwise payable to the Participant based on attainment of the performance goals for the Performance Period as determined in accordance with Sections 4.1 and 4.2 (including that any such amount may be reduced to
zero). The Committee may not waive the achievement of the applicable performance goals except in the case of the death or Disability of the Participant, a change in control of the Company, or as otherwise determined by the Committee in special
circumstances, in each case in accordance with the exception for performance based compensation set forth in Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder. The actual amount of the Award determined by the Committee for a Performance
Period shall be paid in cash or, to the extent provided in such plan, in share awards under a stockholder-approved stock plan of the Company. Payment to each Participant shall be subject to the Participant’s continuous employment with the
Company or its Affiliate through the applicable payment date. If the Participant satisfies the service condition set forth in the preceding sentence, payment to such Participant shall be made no later than the fifteenth day of the third month
following the end of the fiscal year of the Company in which the applicable payment date occurs, unless payment is deferred pursuant to a plan or arrangement satisfying the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. 

 
 4.4. Changes in Employment. If a person becomes
a Participant as specified in Section 4.1(b) during a Performance Period, the Award payable to such Participant may, in the discretion of the Committee, be proportionately reduced based on the period of actual employment during the applicable
Performance Period. If a Participant does not remain continuously employed with the Company or its Affiliate through the applicable payment date for an Award, the Participant shall forfeit his or her right to any payment pursuant to such Award;
provided that, except where the Participant was terminated for cause (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion), the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine to pay such Participant all or any portion of such Award, subject to
such terms and conditions as the Committee may establish. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless the Committee determines otherwise, any actions taken by the Committee pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall be subject to compliance
with the exception for performance based compensation set forth in Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder. 
  

4.5. Maximum Award. The maximum dollar value of an Award payable to any Participant in any 12-month period is $5,000,000.

  

	5.	MISCELLANEOUS 

  

5.1. Amendment and Termination of the Plan. The Board or the Committee may, from time to time, alter, amend, suspend or
terminate the Plan as it shall deem advisable, subject to any requirement for stockholder approval imposed by applicable law, including Section 162(m) of the Code, or by the NASDAQ Stock Market (or such other

  
 3 

 
principal securities market on which the Company’s securities are listed or qualified for trading). No amendments to, or termination of, the Plan shall in any way impair the rights of a
Participant under any Award previously granted without such Participant’s consent. 
  
 5.2. Section 162(m) of the Code. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the provisions of this Plan shall be administered and interpreted in accordance with Section 162(m)
of the Code and the regulations thereunder to ensure the deductibility by the Company of the payment of Awards. 
  

5.3. Section 409A of the Code. Awards are intended not to be subject to Section 409A of the Code by reason of
being a short-term deferral and shall be interpreted accordingly. If any provision of the Plan or any Award could cause any Award to be subject to taxes, interest or penalties under Section 409A of the Code, or if any such provision contravenes
Section 409A (or any regulations or guidance promulgated thereunder), the Company may, in its sole discretion, modify the Plan or any Award to (a) avoid being subject to, or comply with, Section 409A, (b) avoid the imposition of
taxes, interest and penalties under Section 409A and/or (c) maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Section 409A. Moreover, any discretionary
authority that the Board or the Committee may have pursuant to the Plan shall not be applicable to any Award that is subject to Section 409A to the extent such discretionary authority would contravene Section 409A. Nothing in the Plan
shall require the Company to provide any gross-up or other tax reimbursement to a Participant in connection with any violation of Section 409A or otherwise. 

 
 5.4. Tax Withholding. The Company or an
Affiliate shall have the right to make all payments or distributions pursuant to the Plan to a Participant net of any applicable federal, state and local taxes required to be paid or withheld. The Company or an Affiliate shall have the right to
withhold from wages, Awards or other amounts otherwise payable to such Participant such withholding taxes as may be required by law, or to otherwise require the Participant to pay such withholding taxes. If the Participant shall fail to make such
tax payments as are required, the Company or an Affiliate shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to such Participant or to take such other action as may be necessary
to satisfy such withholding obligations. 
  
 5.5.
Right of Discharge Reserved; Claims to Awards. Nothing in this Plan shall provide any Participant a right to receive any Award or payment under the Plan with respect to a Performance Period. Nothing in the Plan nor the grant of an Award
hereunder shall confer upon any Participant the right to continue in the employment of the Company or an Affiliate or affect any right that the Company or an Affiliate may have to terminate the employment of (or to demote or to exclude from future
Awards under the Plan) any such Participant at any time for any reason. Except as specifically provided by the Committee, in the event of the termination of employment of any Participant, the Company shall not be liable for the loss of existing or
potential profit from any Award granted to such Participant. No Participant shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants under the Plan. 

 
 5.6. Nature of Payments. All Awards made
pursuant to the Plan are in consideration of services performed or to be performed for the Company or an Affiliate, division or business unit of the Company. Any income or gain realized pursuant to Awards under the Plan constitute a special
incentive payment to the Participant and shall not be taken into account, to the extent permissible under applicable law, as compensation for purposes of any of the employee benefit plans of the Company or an Affiliate except as may be determined by
the Committee or by the Board or board of directors of the applicable Affiliate. 
  
 5.7. Other Plans. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to stockholder approval if such approval is
required; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. 
  

5.8. Severability. If any provision of the Plan shall be held unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable in whole or in
part by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall (a) be deemed limited to the extent that such court of competent jurisdiction deems it lawful, valid and/or enforceable and as so limited shall remain in full force and effect, and
(b) not affect any other provision of the Plan or part thereof, each of which shall remain in full force and effect. If the making of any payment or the provision of any other benefit required under the Plan shall be held unlawful or otherwise
invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such unlawfulness, invalidity or unenforceability shall not prevent any other payment or benefit from being made or provided under the

  
 4 

 
Plan, and if the making of any payment in full or the provision of any other benefit required under the Plan in full would be unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, then such
unlawfulness, invalidity or unenforceability shall not prevent such payment or benefit from being made or provided in part, to the extent that it would not be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, and the maximum payment or benefit that would not be
unlawful, invalid or unenforceable shall be made or provided under the Plan. 
  
 5.9. Construction. As used in the Plan, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but
rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” 
  
 5.10. Unfunded Status of the Plan. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation and deferred compensation if permitted by the Committee. With
respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company. 

 
 5.11. Governing Law. The Plan and all
determinations made and actions taken thereunder, to the extent not otherwise governed by the Code or the laws of the United States, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to principles of conflict of laws that
might result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction, and shall be construed accordingly. 
  

5.12. Effective Date of Plan. The Plan shall be effective on the date of the approval of the Plan by the holders of the then
outstanding securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors. The Plan shall be null and void and of no effect if the foregoing condition is not fulfilled. 
  
 5.13. Captions. The captions in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and are not
intended to narrow, limit or affect the substance or interpretation of the provisions contained herein. 

  
 52006 Equity Incentive Plan

 Exhibit 10.65 

 
 VERISIGN, INC. 

 
 2006 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN 

 
 PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

  
 The Board of Directors of VeriSign, Inc. has approved a grant
to you (the “Participant” named below) of Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) pursuant to the VeriSign, Inc. 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), as described
below. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan. 
  

					
	Participant:	 	  
	 	
			
	Number of RSUs:	 	  
	 	
			
	Date of Grant:	 	  
	 	

  
 1. Grant of Awards. The
Company has granted to Participant [NUMBER] RSUs, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan. The number of RSUs awarded to Participant represents a target award for the Performance Period (as defined below) (the “Target
Award”). The number of RSUs of Participant’s actual earned award (the “Actual Award”) is equal to the product of (i) the Performance Multiplier (as determined under Section 2 below), and (ii) Participant’s
Target Award. Each RSU represents the right to receive one (1) Share of Common Stock as set forth herein. 
  
 2. Performance Multiplier. The Performance Multiplier shall be determined by reference to the Performance Measures, goals and weightings established by the Committee for purposes of funding
the 2011 VeriSign Performance Plan (the “2011 VPP”) and shall be equal to the funding percentage for the 2011 VPP determined by the Committee following its certification of the achievement of the levels of performance against the
Performance Measures. The Performance Multiplier may range from zero to a maximum of 150%. In the event the Committee determines that the Performance Multiplier equals zero, all RSUs will be forfeited automatically on such date and all the rights of
the Participant to such RSUs shall immediately terminate. 
  
 3.
Performance Period. The performance period to which this Agreement applies commences on January 1, 2011 and ends on December 31, 2011 (the “Performance Period”). 
  
 4. Vesting Schedule. Participant’s Actual Award will vest as follows: 

 
 (a) 25% on the date of certification of achievement of
the Performance Measures and the Performance Multiplier by the Committee (the “First Vesting Date”); and 
  

(b) 25% on the second anniversary of the Date of Grant 

 
 (c) 25% on the third anniversary of the Date of Grant;
and 
  
 (d) 25% on the fourth anniversary of
the Date of Grant. 

 5. Settlement. Settlement of vested RSUs shall be made within 30 days following the
applicable date of vesting under the above vesting schedule (provided that if at the time of settlement Participant is a “specified employee” of the Company under Section 409A, and settlement would be treated as a payment made on
separation of service, then if required to avoid the taxes imposed by Section 409A settlement shall be delayed by six (6) months or such other period of time as is then required to avoid such taxes). Settlement of vested RSUs shall be in
Shares; provided, that, pursuant to Section 11, if Shares may not be withheld as a result of foreign tax law, an appropriate number of RSUs may or may not be automatically settled in cash, depending upon the taxable jurisdiction. In addition,
if determined by the Committee in its discretion at the time of payment, RSUs may also be settled in cash or some combination of cash and Shares. The Participant shall pay to the Company the aggregate par value of the Shares issued prior to their
issuance (par value being $0.001 per Share) with such payment deemed to have been made for each Share, by Participant’s services from the Date of Grant to the first applicable vesting date. Participant agrees that, if necessary due to
applicable law, Participant shall pay to the Company each affected Share’s par value by making appropriate payroll deductions from funds due the Participant. Notwithstanding the issuance of Shares in settlement of the RSUs or the delivery
of one or more stock certificates for such Shares, the Shares shall be subject to applicable restrictions on transfer or sale, if any, as may be set forth in the Participant’s written employment or service contract with the Company or pursuant
to any policy adopted by the Company, now or hereafter existing, that imposes stock ownership requirements, stock retention requirements or stock sale restrictions on the Participant. To enforce any restrictions or requirements on the
Participant’s Shares, the Committee may require the Participant to deposit all certificates, together with stock powers or other instruments of transfer approved by the Committee appropriately endorsed in blank, with the Company or an agent
designated by the Company to hold in escrow until such restrictions or requirements have lapsed or terminated, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends referencing such restrictions or requirements to be placed on the certificates.

  
 6. No Stockholder Rights. Unless and until such
time as Shares are issued in settlement of vested RSUs, the Participant shall have no ownership of the Shares allocated to the RSUs and shall have no right to vote such Shares, subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions described in the Plan
and herein. 
  
 7. Dividend Equivalents. On or
following the First Vesting Date, any dividends paid in cash on Shares of the Company shall be credited to the Participant as additional RSUs as if the RSUs held by the Participant were outstanding Shares, as follows: such credit shall be made in
whole and/or fractional RSUs and shall be based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of payment of such dividend. All such additional RSUs shall be subject to the same vesting requirements applicable to the RSUs in respect of which
they were credited and shall be settled in accordance with, and at the time of, settlement of the vested RSUs to which they are related. 
  

8. No Transfer. The RSUs and any interest therein shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of.

  
 9. Termination. In the event of Termination by the
Company or the Participant for any reason, (i) all unvested RSUs shall (except as otherwise provided in the Plan or herein), be forfeited to the Company forthwith, and all the rights of the Participant to such RSUs shall immediately terminate
and (ii) the Committee shall settle, in Shares, the value of any vested RSUs (based on the then Fair Market Value of Shares deemed allocated to such vested RSUs on the date of such Termination) as soon as practicable thereafter. In case of any
dispute as to whether Termination has occurred, the Committee shall have sole discretion to determine whether such Termination has occurred and the effective date of such Termination. 
  
 10. Acknowledgement. The Company and the Participant agree that the RSUs are granted under and governed by this
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Agreement and by the provisions of the Plan (incorporated herein by reference). The Participant: (i) acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and the Plan prospectus, (ii) represents that the
Participant has carefully read and is familiar with their provisions, and (iii) hereby accepts the RSUs subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth herein and those set forth in the Plan. In the event that upon the 30th day after the
Date of Grant, the Participant has not refused the RSUs by notice to the Company pursuant to Section 16 hereof, the Participant shall be deemed to have accepted the RSUs subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth herein and those set
forth in the Plan. 

  
 2 

 11. Tax Consequences. The Participant acknowledges that there may be adverse tax consequences
upon settlement of the RSUs or disposition of the Shares, if any, received in connection therewith and that the Company recommends that Participant should consult a tax adviser prior to such settlement or disposition. In particular, Participant must
make arrangements, satisfactory to the Company, for satisfaction of any applicable foreign, federal, state or local income tax withholding requirements or social security requirements related to the grant of the RSUs or Participant’s receipt of
Shares in settlement thereof, including, in either case, any dividend paid in respect thereof. In the event settlement of the RSUs is made in Shares, the Company will satisfy the minimum statutory withholding tax obligation by withholding a certain
number of Shares otherwise deliverable from the total number of Shares deliverable to the Participant upon settlement unless Shares may not be withheld as a result of foreign tax law (in which case an appropriate number of RSUs may or may not be
automatically settled in cash, depending upon the taxable jurisdiction). In the event that any RSUs are settled in cash, or Shares may not be withheld as a result of foreign tax law, the Participant hereby authorizes the Company to withhold the
required minimum amount from Participant’s other sources of compensation from the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary. 
  

12. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The issuance of Shares will be subject to and conditioned upon compliance by
the Company and Participant with all applicable state and federal laws and regulations and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Company’s Common Stock may be listed or quoted at the
time of such issuance or transfer. 
  
 13. VeriSign Incentive
Compensation Recovery Policy in the Case of Inaccurate Financial Statements. The Committee has adopted an incentive compensation recovery policy ( the “Policy”) which applies to all Section 16 executive officers and such other
officers as the Committee may designate. The Policy applies whenever there is an inaccurate financial statement, and, as a result, a covered executive has received materially more incentive compensation than would have otherwise
occurred. To the extent you are subject to the Policy, you agree that the Committee has discretion to seek recovery of any such overpayment received under this Agreement per the terms of the Policy. 

 
 14. Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign
any of its rights under this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth, this Agreement will be binding upon
Participant and Participant’s heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns. 
  
 15. Governing Law; Severability. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia as such laws are applied to
agreements between Virginia residents entered into and to be performed entirely within Virginia, excluding that body of laws pertaining to conflict of laws. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of law to be illegal or
unenforceable, then such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible and the other provisions will remain fully effective and enforceable. 
  

16. Notices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Company shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporate Secretary of the
Company at its principal corporate offices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to Participant shall be in writing (including email) and addressed to Participant at the participant’s Company email address, the address of record or to
such other address as Participant may designate in writing from time to time to the Company or may be posted on the Participant’s E*Trade VeriSign employee stock plan account at www.etrade.com. All notices shall be deemed effectively given upon
personal delivery, (i) three (3) days after deposit in the United States mail by certified or registered mail (return receipt requested), (ii) one (1) business day after its deposit with any return receipt express courier
(prepaid), (iii) one (1) business day after transmission by fax or telecopier, (iv) upon receipt if sent by the Company to the Participant’s email address at the Company, or (v) upon posting on the Participant’s E*Trade
VeriSign employee stock plan account at www.etrade.com.

 19. Entire Agreement; Modification. The Plan and this Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Agreement for these RSUs constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties
with respect to the subject matter herein and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, between the parties hereto with respect to the specific subject matter hereof. This Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit
Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument executed by an authorized representative of the Company and effectively given to the Participant pursuant to the methods of delivery set forth in Section 16 above. Any such amendment shall
