Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement

     
General  
Pursuant to your Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award and this
Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (this “Agreement”), the
Company has granted you the number of units set forth in the
Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award. Each unit represents the
right to receive one share of Common Stock on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Notice of
Restricted Stock Unit Award. Capitalized terms used in this
Agreement are defined in the “Definitions” section below or in
the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award.
Payment for Units  
No payment is required for the units that you are receiving.
Nature of Units  
Your units are mere bookkeeping entries. They represent only the
Company’s unfunded and unsecured promise to issue shares of
Common Stock (or distribute cash) on a future date. As a holder
of units, you have no rights other than the rights of a general
creditor of the Company.
Vesting  
The units vest as shown in the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit
Award and Exhibit A thereto. Except to the extent set forth in
your Retention Agreement, no additional units vest after your
Continuous Service has terminated for any reason.
Forfeiture  
If your Continuous Service terminates for any reason, then your
units will be forfeited to the extent that they have not vested
before the termination date. This means that any units that have
not vested under this Agreement will be cancelled. You receive
no payment for units that are forfeited. The Company determines
when your Continuous Service terminates for this purpose.
Your units will also be forfeited to the extent the Performance
Condition associated with the units is not achieved or if the
Board or Compensation Committee exercises discretion to reduce
the number of units vesting, as described in the Notice of
Restricted Stock Unit Award and Exhibit A thereto.
Corporate Transaction  
The following rules shall apply to the extent this award remains
outstanding at the effective time of a Corporate Transaction and
prior to the Approval Date:
   
• Unless the Board or Committee determines otherwise prior
to such Corporate Transaction, all of your units in excess of the
“On-Target Units” specified in the Notice of Restricted Stock
Unit Award will be forfeited; and
• Vesting of the On-Target Units will no longer be
contingent upon achievement of the Performance Condition.
Instead, subject to your Continuous Service through the
applicable vesting date, 50% of the On-Target Units will vest on
the second anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date and the
remaining 50% of the On-Target Units will vest on the third
anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date.
In addition to the foregoing, the following rules shall apply to
the extent this award remains outstanding at the effective time
of a Corporate Transaction:
   
• Any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation (or
the surviving or acquiring corporation’s parent company) may
assume or continue this award or may substitute a similar stock
award for this award (including, but not limited to, an award to
acquire the same consideration paid to the stockholders of the
Company pursuant to the Corporate Transaction). A surviving
corporation or acquiring corporation (or its parent) may choose
to assume or continue only a portion of this award or substitute
a similar award for only a portion of this award. The terms of
any assumption, continuation or substitution shall be set by the
Board;
• Subject to the forfeiture of any units in excess of the
On-Target Units as described above, in the event the surviving
corporation or acquiring corporation (or its parent company) does
not assume or continue this award or substitute a similar stock
award for this award, then, with respect to the portion of this
award that is not assumed, continued or substituted, the vesting
of this award shall (contingent upon the effectiveness of the
Corporate Transaction) be accelerated in full to a date prior to
the effective time of such Corporate Transaction as the Board
shall determine (or, if the Board shall not determine such a
date, to the date that is five (5) days prior to the effective
time of the Corporate Transaction) and this award shall terminate
at or prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction;
and
• Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event this award
will be terminated in connection with a Corporate Transaction,
the Board may provide, in its sole discretion, that, if this
award is not settled prior to the effective time of the Corporate
Transaction, you will receive a payment, in such form as may be
determined by the Board, equal to the value of the property you
would have received upon settlement of this award.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or
your Retention Agreement, and subject to the other terms and
conditions of your Retention Agreement, in the event you
experience a Covered Termination (as defined in your Retention
Agreement) prior to the Approval Date and within three (3) months
prior to a Change in Control (as defined in your Retention
Agreement), you will only be eligible for accelerated vesting of
the On-Target Units and the remaining units will be forfeited.
Settlement of Units  
Each unit will be settled on the first Permissible Trading Day
that occurs on or after the day when the unit vests. However,
each unit must be settled not later than March 15 of the calendar
year after the calendar year in which the unit vests.
At the time of settlement, you will receive one share of the
Company’s Common Stock for each vested unit. But the Company, at
its sole discretion, may substitute an equivalent amount of cash
if the distribution of stock is not reasonably practicable due to
the requirements of applicable law. The amount of cash will be
determined on the basis of the market value of the Company’s
Common Stock at the time of settlement.
“Permissible Trading
Day”
 
“Permissible Trading Day” means a day that satisfies each of the
following requirements:
   
• The Nasdaq Global Market is open for trading on that day,
• You are permitted to sell shares of the Company’s Common Stock
on that day without incurring liability under Section 16(b) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
• Either (a) you are not in possession of material non-public
information that would make it illegal for you to sell shares of
the Company’s Common Stock on that day under Rule 10b-5 of the
Securities and Exchange Commission or (b) Rule 10b5-1 of the
Securities and Exchange Commission is applicable,
• Under the Company’s written Insider Trading Policy, you are
permitted to sell shares of the Company’s Common Stock on that
day, and
• You are not prohibited from selling shares of the Company’s
Common Stock on that day by a written agreement between you and
the Company or a third party.
Section 409A  
This paragraph applies only if the Company determines that you
are a “specified employee,” as defined in the regulations under
Section 409A of the Code, at the time of your “separation from
service,” as defined in those regulations. If this paragraph
applies, then any units that otherwise would have been settled
during the first six months following your separation from
service will instead be settled during the seventh month
following your separation from service, unless the settlement of
those units is exempt from Section 409A of the Code.
No Voting Rights or
Dividends
 
Your units carry neither voting rights nor rights to cash
dividends. You have no rights as a stockholder of the Company
unless and until your units are settled by issuing shares of the
Company’s Common Stock.
Units Nontransferable  
You may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose
of any units. For instance, you may not use your units as
security for a loan.
Withholding Taxes  
No stock certificates or cash will be distributed to you unless
you have made arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the
payment of any withholding taxes that are due as a result of the
vesting or settlement of this award (the “Tax Withholding
Obligation”).
In this regard, you authorize the Company, at its sole
discretion, to satisfy your Tax Withholding Obligation by one or
a combination of the following:
   
• Withholding the amount of any Tax Withholding Obligation
from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the
Company.
• Instructing a brokerage firm selected by the Company for
this purpose to sell on your behalf a number of whole shares of
Company stock to be issued to you when the units are settled that
the Company determines are appropriate to generate cash proceeds
sufficient to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation. You
acknowledge that the Company or its designee is under no
obligation to arrange for such sale at any particular price.
Regardless of whether the Company arranges for such sale, you
will be responsible for all fees and other costs of sale, and you
agree to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any losses,
costs, damages or expenses relating to any such sale.
• Withholding shares of Company stock that would otherwise
be issued to you when the units are settled equal in value to the
Tax Withholding Obligation. The fair market value of the
withheld shares, determined as of the date when taxes otherwise
would have been withheld in cash, will be applied to the Tax
Withholding Obligation.
• Any other means approved by the Company.
You agree to pay to the Company in cash any amount of Tax
Withholding Obligation that the Company does not elect to satisfy
by the means described above.
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 Continuous Service continues and for such period of
time after the termination of your Continuous Service as the
Company may specify.
Employment at Will  
Your award or this Agreement does not give you the right to be
retained by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company in any
capacity. The Company and its subsidiaries reserve the right to
terminate your Continuous Service at any time, with or without
cause.
Administration  
The Board shall administer this award and shall have the power:
   
• To construe and interpret this award. The Board, in the
exercise of this power, may correct any defect, omission or
inconsistency in this Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement in a
manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or expedient to
make the award fully effective;
• To settle all controversies regarding this award; and
• To accelerate the time at which the award will vest.
In addition, the Board shall also have the power, with your
consent if you would be adversely affected, to amend any other
terms of this award.
All determinations, interpretations and constructions made by the
Board in good faith shall not be subject to review by any person
and shall be final, binding and conclusive on all persons.
Capitalization
Adjustments
 
In the event of a Capitalization Adjustment, the Board shall
equitably adjust the class and the number of securities subject
to your units. The Board shall make such adjustments, and its
determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.
Dissolution or
Liquidation
 
In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, this
award shall terminate immediately prior to the completion of such
dissolution or liquidation, provided, however, that the Board
may, in its sole discretion, cause some or all of the units
subject to this award to become vested before the dissolution or
liquidation is completed but contingent on its completion.
Beneficiary Designation  
You may dispose of your units in a written beneficiary
designation. A beneficiary designation must be filed with the
Company on the proper form. It will be recognized only if it has
been received at the Company’s headquarters before your death.
If you file no beneficiary designation or if none of your
designated beneficiaries survives you, then your estate will
receive any vested units that you hold at the time of your death.
Applicable Law  
This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of
the State of Delaware (without regard to their choice-of-law
provisions).
Other Agreements  
This Agreement and the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award
constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company
regarding this award. Any prior agreements, commitments or
negotiations concerning this award are superseded. This
Agreement may be amended only by another written agreement
between the parties.
Definitions  
“Affiliate” means, at the time of determination, any “parent” or

reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock
dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock split,
liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares,
change in corporate structure or other transaction not involving

the foregoing, the conversion of any convertible securities of

Recipient renders such service, provided that there is no
interruption or termination of the Recipient’s service with the
Company or an Affiliate, shall not terminate the Recipient’s
Continuous Service. For example, a change in status from an
employee of the Company to a consultant to an Affiliate shall not
constitute an interruption of Continuous Service. To the extent
permitted by law, the Board, in its sole discretion, may
determine whether Continuous Service shall be considered
interrupted in the case of any leave of absence approved by that
party, including sick leave, military leave or any other personal
leave. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a leave of absence shall
be treated as Continuous Service for purposes of vesting of this
award only to such extent as may be provided in the Company’s
leave of absence policy, in the written terms of any leave of
absence agreement or policy applicable to the Recipient, or as
otherwise required by law. Service solely as a Director, or
payment of a fee for such service, shall not constitute
“Continuous Service” for purposes of this award.
