RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT
| Payment for Shares | No payment is required for the shares that you are receiving. | |
| Vesting | One-half of the shares that you are receiving will vest on the first Permissible Trading Day that follows the date on which the Company achieves the Performance Milestone, provided that your service as an employee, consultant or director of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company (“Service”) shall have been continuous from the Date of Grant to such Permissible Trading Day.
The remaining one-half of the shares that you are receiving will vest on the first Permissible Trading Day that follows the first anniversary of the date on which the Company achieved the Performance Milestone, provided that your Service shall have been continuous from the Date of Grant to such Permissible Trading Day.
No shares will vest after your Service has terminated for any reason.
“Permissible Trading Day” means a day that satisfies each of the following requirements:
• The principal market on which shares of the Company’s Common Stock are then traded 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,
• 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, and Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission is not applicable,
• Under the Company’s written Securities 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. | |

| • “Performance Milestone” means the close of the first period of four consecutive fiscal quarters in which the Company recognizes at least $[*****] in subscription software revenue (as determined in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles), provided that the Performance Milestone must be achieved on or before September 30, 2008. | ||
| Shares Restricted | Unvested shares will be considered “Restricted Shares.” You may not sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of any Restricted Shares without the written consent of the Company, except as provided in the next sentence. You may transfer Restricted Shares to your spouse, children or grandchildren or to a trust established by you for the benefit of yourself or your spouse, children or grandchildren. However, a transferee of Restricted Shares must agree in writing on a form prescribed by the Company to be bound by all provisions of this Agreement. | |
| Forfeiture | If your Service terminates for any reason, then your Restricted Shares will be forfeited to the extent that they have not vested as of the termination of your Service. In addition, if the Performance Milestone is not achieved on or before September 30, 2008, then your Restricted Shares will be forfeited. In either case, this means that any Restricted Shares that have not vested under this Agreement will immediately revert to the Company. You receive no payment for Restricted Shares that are forfeited.
The Company determines when your Service terminates for this purpose. | |
| Leaves of Absence and Part-Time Work | For purposes of this grant, 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 was approved by the Company in writing and if continued crediting of Service is required by applicable law, the Company’s written leave of absence policy (as in effect for similarly situated employees) or the terms of your leave. But your Service terminates when the approved leave ends, unless you immediately return to active work.
If you go on a leave of absence, then the vesting dates specified above may be adjusted in accordance with the Company’s written leave of absence policy (as in effect for similarly situated employees) or the terms of your leave. If you commence working on a part-time basis, then the vesting dates specified above may be adjusted in accordance with the Company’s written part-time work policy (as in effect for similarly situated employees) or the terms of an agreement between you and the Company pertaining to your part-time schedule. | |

| Voting Rights | You may vote your shares even before they vest. | |
| Stock Certificates | The Company will hold your Restricted Shares for you. After shares have vested, a stock certificate for those shares will be released to a broker for your account. The Company will select the broker at its discretion. | |
| Withholding Taxes | You will be required to pay all withholding taxes that become due as a result of this grant or the vesting of the shares. You may direct the Company to deduct the withholding taxes from any cash compensation payable to you, or you may pay the withholding taxes to the Company in cash.
The Company will instruct the broker whom it has selected for this purpose to sell shares with a value sufficient to satisfy any remaining withholding taxes. You agree that the broker selected by the Company may sell a portion of your shares for your account, in accordance with the Company’s instructions, in order to pay the remaining amount of withholding taxes required by law. | |
| Restrictions on Resale | You agree not to sell any shares at a time when applicable laws or the Company’s Securities Trading Policy 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 | Your grant or this Agreement does not give you the right to be employed or retained by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company in any capacity. The Company and its subsidiaries reserve the right to terminate your Service at any time, with or without cause. | |
| Adjustments | In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in Company stock, the number of Restricted Shares that remain subject to forfeiture will be adjusted accordingly. | |
| 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). | |
