2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
| Payment for Restricted Stock Units | No payment is required for the Restricted Stock Units you receive. | |
| Vesting | Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”), including the Appendix, your Restricted Stock Units vest in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award. | |
| Forfeiture | When your active employment with the Company or a Subsidiary terminates for any reason, vesting of your Restricted Stock Units subject to such Award immediately stops and such Award expires immediately as to the number of Restricted Stock Units that are not vested as of the date such Service terminates.
This means that the unvested Restricted Stock Units will immediately be cancelled. You receive no payment for Restricted Stock Units that are forfeited.
The Committee determines when your Service terminates for this purpose and all purposes under the Plan.
If you are outside of the United States, please see clause (m) of the “Nature of Grant” section in the Appendix for additional information. | |
| Leaves of Absence and Part-Time Work | 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 was approved by the Company in writing and if continued crediting of Service is required by applicable law, the Company’s leave of absence policy or the terms of your leave. Subject to applicable law, your Service terminates when the approved leave ends, unless you immediately return to active work.
If you go on a leave of absence, then, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the vesting schedule specified in the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award 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, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the vesting schedule specified in the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award 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. | |
1
| Nature of Restricted Stock Units | Your Restricted Stock Units are mere bookkeeping entries. They represent only the Company’s unfunded and unsecured promise to issue Shares (or distribute cash) on a future date. As a holder of Restricted Stock Units, you have no rights other than the rights of a general creditor of the Company. | |
| No Voting Rights or Dividends | Your Restricted Stock Units carry neither voting rights nor rights to dividends. You, or your estate or heirs, have no rights as a stockholder of the Company unless and until your Restricted 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 stock certificate is issued, except as described in the Plan. | |
| Restricted Stock Units Nontransferable | You may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of any Restricted Stock Units. For instance, you may not use your Restricted Stock Units as security for a loan. | |
| Settlement of Restricted Stock Units | Subject to the requirements of applicable law, each of your Restricted Stock Units will be settled as soon as reasonably practicable when it vests.
At the time of settlement, you will receive one Share for each vested Restricted Stock Unit; provided, however, that no fractional Share will be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or this Agreement, and the Committee 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. | |
| Withholding Taxes and Stock Withholding | Regardless of any action the Company or your actual employer (if a Parent, Subsidiary, or Affiliate) (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll 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 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 (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including, without limitation, the grant, vesting, or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the issuance of Shares upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance, and the receipt of any dividends and/or any dividend equivalents; and (b) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Furthermore, if you have become subject to tax 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. | |
2
| Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you will 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 their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
(1) withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Employer;
(2) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization); or
(3) withholding in Shares to be issued upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.
To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. 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 Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of your participation in the Plan.
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 or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items. | ||
| Restrictions on Resale | By signing this Agreement, you agree not to sell any Shares issued upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units at a time when applicable laws or Company policies prohibit a sale. This restriction will apply as long as you are an Employee, Consultant or Outside Director. | |
3
| No Advice Regarding Award | 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 personal tax, legal, and financial advisors regarding your participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan. | |
| No Retention Rights | Neither your Award nor this Agreement gives you the right to be retained by the Company or a Parent, Subsidiary, or Affiliate in any capacity. The Company and any Parent, Subsidiaries, and/or Affiliates 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 Stock Units covered by this Award will be adjusted pursuant to the Plan. | |
| Beneficiary Designation | If permitted under applicable law and by the Committee, you may be able to dispose of your Restricted Stock 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 Restricted Stock 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 choice-of-law provisions). For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises directly or indirectly from the relationship of the parties evidenced by this grant or this Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State of California and agree that such litigation shall be conducted only in the courts of the County of Santa Clara, California, or the federal courts for United States for the Northern District of California, and no other courts, where this grant is made and/or to be performed. | |
| Severability | The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions nevertheless shall be binding and enforceable. | |
| Appendix | Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement, if you are outside of the United States, the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in the Appendix that apply generally outside of the United States, as well as special country-specific terms and conditions set forth in the Appendix that apply for your country. Moreover, if you relocate to a country outside of the United States and/or another country included in the Appendix, the | |
4
| special terms and conditions in the Appendix, including any special terms and conditions for such country, will apply to you, to the extent that the Committee determines that the application of such terms is necessary or advisable in order to comply with applicable law or facilitate the administration of the Plan. The Appendix constitutes part of this Agreement. | ||
| Imposition of Other Requirements | The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on your participation in the Plan, on the Restricted Stock Units, and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent that the Company determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with applicable law or facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require you to sign any additional documents or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. | |
| The Plan and Other Agreements | The text of the Plan is incorporated in this Agreement by reference. All capitalized terms that are used, but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan or the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award. This Agreement, including the Appendix, and the Plan 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, including the Appendix, may be amended only by another written agreement, signed by both parties. | |
BY SIGNING THE COVER SHEET OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AGREE TO
ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS DESCRIBED IN THE PLAN AND IN
THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING IN THE APPENDIX IF YOU ARE OUTSIDE

Les parties reconnaissent avoir exigé la rédaction en anglais de cette convention, ainsi que de tous documents, avis et procédures judiciaires, exécutés, donnés ou intentés en vertu de, ou liés directement ou indirectement à, la présente convention.

9
| behalf and pursuant to this authorization. Upon the sale of Shares, you will receive the sale proceeds less any amounts necessary to satisfy Tax-Related Items and applicable transaction fees or commissions. Due to currency exchange conversion rate fluctuation between the applicable vesting date of the Restricted Stock Units and (if later) the date on which the Shares are sold, the amount of sale proceeds may be more or less than the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the applicable vesting date (which is the relevant amount for purposes of calculating amounts necessary to satisfy applicable Tax-Related Items).
Exchange Control Restriction
Unless you are not a PRC national, due to exchange control laws and regulations in China, you will be required immediately to repatriate to China the cash proceeds from the mandatory sale of Shares at vesting of the Restricted Stock Units. You further understand that, under local law, such repatriation of the cash proceeds may need to be effectuated through a special exchange control account established by the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate, expressly for this purpose. By accepting the Restricted Stock Units, you agree that any cash proceeds from the sale of Shares upon settlement may be transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to you. You further agree to comply with any other requirements that the Company may impose in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China. You acknowledge that, if the cash proceeds are paid in local currency, the Company is under no obligation to secure any particular currency exchange conversion rate. Furthermore, compliance with local exchange control laws and regulations may delay the conversion of cash proceeds into local currency. You agree that, if the conversion of the cash proceeds into local currency is delayed, you shall bear the risk of any currency exchange conversion rate fluctuation between the date on which the Shares issued upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units are sold and the date of conversion of the cash proceeds into local currency. | ||
