2014 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

 

Payment for Stock Units

No cash payment is required for the Stock Units you receive.

 

Vesting

The Stock Units that you are receiving will vest in installments, as shown in the Notice of Stock Unit Award (the “Notice”).

 

  No additional Stock Units vest after your Service has terminated for any reason.

 

Forfeiture

If your Service terminates for any reason, then your Award expires immediately as to the number of Stock Units that have not vested before the termination date and do not vest as a result of termination.

 

  For purposes of your Award, your Service will be considered terminated as of the date you are no longer actively providing Services to the Company and/or its Parent, Subsidiaries or Affiliates (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you render Service or the terms of your employment agreement or service contract, if any), and unless otherwise expressly provided in Agreement or determined by the Administrator, your right to vest in the Stock Units under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., your period of Service would not include any “garden leave” or similar period mandated under local law).

 

  This means that the unvested Stock Units will immediately be cancelled. You receive no payment for Stock Units that are forfeited.

 

  The Company determines when your Service terminates for this purpose and all purposes under the Plan and its determinations are conclusive and binding on all persons.

 

Leaves of Absence

For purposes of this Award, your Service does not terminate when you go on a military leave, a sick leave, or another bona fide leave of absence, if the leave of absence was approved by the Company in writing and if continued crediting of Service is required by the terms of the leave or by applicable law. But your Service terminates when the approved leave ends, unless you immediately return to active work.

 

IKANOS COMMUNICATIONS, INC.

STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

-1-


  If you go on a leave of absence, then the vesting schedule specified in the Notice may be adjusted in accordance with the Company’s leave of absence policy or the terms of your leave. If you commence working on a part-time basis, then the vesting schedule specified in the Notice may be adjusted in accordance with the Company’s part-time work policy or the terms of an agreement between you and the Company pertaining to your part-time schedule.

 

Nature of Stock Units

Your Stock Units are mere bookkeeping entries. They represent only the Company’s unfunded and unsecured promise to issue Shares on a future date. As a holder of Stock Units, you have no rights other than the rights of a general creditor of the Company.

 

No Voting Rights or Dividends; Dividend Equivalents

Your Stock Units carry neither voting rights nor rights to dividends. You, or your estate or heirs, have no rights as a shareholder of the Company unless and until your Stock Units are settled by issuing Shares. No adjustments will be made for dividends or other rights if the applicable record date occurs before your Shares are issued, except as described in the Plan.

 

  Notwithstanding the foregoing, dividend equivalents shall be paid or credited on Stock Units (other than Stock Units that, at the relevant record date, previously have been settled or forfeited) as follows, except that the Administrator may specify an alternative treatment from that specified below:

 

  If the Company declares and pays a dividend or distribution on the Shares in the form of cash, then you will be credited, as of the payment date for such dividend or distribution, an amount equal to the number of Stock Units credited to you as of the record date for such dividend or distribution multiplied by the amount that would have been paid as a dividend or distribution on each outstanding Share at such payment date. Any amounts credited under this paragraph shall be subject to the restrictions and conditions that apply to the Stock Unit with respect to which the amounts are credited and will be payable when the underlying Stock Unit becomes payable. At the time the underlying Stock Unit becomes payable, the Company has the discretion to pay any accrued dividend equivalents either in cash or in Shares. If the underlying Stock Unit does not vest or is forfeited, any amounts credited under this paragraph with respect to the underlying Stock Unit will also fail to vest and be forfeited.

 

Stock Units Nontransferable

You may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or otherwise dispose of any Stock Units. For instance, you may not use your Stock Units as security for a loan. If you attempt to do any of these things, your Stock Units will immediately become invalid.

 

IKANOS COMMUNICATIONS, INC.

STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

Settlement of Stock Units

Each of your vested Stock Units will be settled when it vests; provided, however, that settlement of each Stock Unit will be deferred to the first permissible trading day for the Shares, if later than the applicable vesting date, but in no event later than December 31 of the calendar year in which the applicable vesting date occurs.
For purposes of this Agreement, “permissible trading day” means a day that satisfies all of the following requirements: (a) the exchange on which the Shares are traded is open for trading on that day; (b) you are permitted to sell Shares on that day without incurring liability under section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, (c) either (i) you are not in possession of material non-public information that would make it illegal for you to sell Shares on that day under Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act or (ii) Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act would apply to the sale; (d) you are permitted to sell Shares on that day under such written insider trading policy as may have been adopted by the Company; and (e) you are not prohibited from selling Shares on that day by a written agreement between you and the Company or a third party.

 

  At the time of settlement, you will receive one Share for each vested Stock Unit; provided, however, that no fractional Shares will be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or this Agreement, and the Administrator will determine whether cash will be paid in lieu of any fractional Share or whether such fractional Share and any rights thereto will be canceled, terminated or otherwise eliminated. In addition, the Shares are issued to you subject to the condition that the issuance of the Shares not violate any law or regulation.

 

Withholding Taxes and Stock Withholding

Regardless of any action the Company or, if different, your actual employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by you is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. You further acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends and/or dividend equivalents; and (2) do not commit to and are under no

 

IKANOS COMMUNICATIONS, INC.

STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

-3-


  obligation to structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the Stock Units to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if you are subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

 

  Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you agree to pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.

 

  In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at the discretion of the Administrator, to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by you by one or a combination of the following: (a) withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Employer, (b) withholding Shares that otherwise would be issued to you when your Stock Units are settled, (c) withholding from the proceeds of the sale of the Shares, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent), or (d) any other arrangement approved by the Administrator. The Fair Market Value of these Shares, determined as of the effective date when taxes otherwise would have been withheld in cash, will be applied as a credit against the Tax-Related Items.

 

  Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case you will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Stock equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

 

  Finally, you shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares

 

IKANOS COMMUNICATIONS, INC.

STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

  or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this section, and your rights to the Shares shall be forfeited if you do not comply with such obligations on or before December 31 of the calendar year in which the applicable vesting date for the Stock Units occurs.

 

Restrictions on Resale

You agree not to sell any Shares at a time when applicable laws, Company policies or an agreement between the Company and its underwriters prohibit a sale. This restriction will apply as long as your Service continues and for such period of time after the termination of your Service as the Company may specify.

 

No Retention Rights

Neither your Award nor this Agreement gives you the right to be employed or retained by the Company, the Employer, or a Subsidiary of the Company in any capacity. The Company, the Employer, and its Subsidiaries reserve the right to terminate your Service at any time, with or without cause.

 

Adjustments

The number of Stock Units covered by this Award shall be subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, a stock dividend, or a similar change in Company Shares, and in other circumstances, as set forth in the Plan.

 

Successors and Assigns

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or this Agreement, every term of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors, transferees and assigns.

 

Notice

Any notice required or permitted under this Agreement shall be given in writing (including electronically pursuant to procedures the Administrator may establish) and shall be deemed effectively given upon the earliest of personal delivery, receipt or the third full day following mailing with postage and fees prepaid, addressed to the other party hereto at the address last known in the Company’s records or at such other address as such party may designate by ten (10) days’ advance written notice to the other party hereto.

 

Applicable Law

This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of California (without regard to their choice-of-law provisions).

 

Venue

For purposes of any action, lawsuit or other proceedings brought to enforce this Agreement, relating to it, or arising from it, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction in the courts of Santa Clara County, California, or the federal courts for the United States for the Northern District of California, and no other courts, where this grant is made and/or to be performed.

  another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Shares; and (x) the following provisions apply only if you are providing Services outside the United States: (a) the Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Award, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose; and (b) neither the Company, the Employer nor any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between your local currency and the U.S. Dollar that may affect the value of your Award or of any amounts due to you pursuant to the settlement of the Stock Units or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.

 

No Advice Regarding Grant

The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding your participation in the Plan, or your acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. You are hereby advised to consult with your own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding your participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

 

Data Privacy

You hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Stock Unit grant materials (“Data”) by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company, its Parent, Subsidiaries and Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.

 

  You understand that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address, telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all Awards or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.

 

  You understand that Data may be transferred to any broker as designated by the Company, or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration, and management of the Plan. You understand that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. You understand that you may

  request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting your local human resources representative. You authorize the Company and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan. You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan. You understand that you 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 your local human resources representative. Further, you understand that you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If you do not consent, or if you later seek to revoke your consent, your employment status or Service and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing your consent is that the Company would not be able to grant you Stock Units or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, you understand that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact your local human resources representative.

 

Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws

You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and you are advised to speak to your personal advisor on this matter.

Finally, you understand that if you are a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which you are currently working, transfer employment after the Date of Grant, or are considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not apply to you.
