GT ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES INC.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of                , 2013, by and between GT Advanced Technologies Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and «Employee» (“Employee”), in accordance with the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan of the Company, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”).  Certain definitions are set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement.

On                    , 2013, the Company granted to Employee «Number_of_RSU» restricted stock units (the “RSUs”) under the Plan.  Each RSU entitles Employee to receive from the Company one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”) for each RSU granted hereunder that becomes vested under the terms described herein and in the Plan.  All of such shares of Common Stock that may hereafter be delivered to Employee pursuant to this Agreement are referred to herein as “Employee Stock.”

The parties hereto agree as follows:

1.     Incorporation by Reference; Plan Document Receipt.  This Agreement is subject in all respects to the terms and provisions of the Plan (including, without limitation, any amendments thereto adopted at any time and from time to time unless such amendments are expressly intended not to apply to the award provided hereunder), all of which terms and provisions are made a part of and incorporated in this Agreement as if they were expressly set forth herein.  Any capitalized term not defined in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as is ascribed thereto in the Plan.  Employee hereby acknowledges receipt of a true copy of the Plan and that Employee has read the Plan carefully and fully understands its content.  In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.

2.     Grant of the RSUs.

(a)   The Company granted to Employee, as of                , 2013, «Number_of_RSU» RSUs, subject to the terms and conditions hereunder.  Employee agrees and understands that nothing contained in this Agreement provides, or is intended to provide, Employee with any protection against potential future dilution of Employee’s stockholder interest in the Company for any reason.  Employee shall not have the rights of a stockholder in respect of the shares of Common Stock underlying these RSUs until such Common Stock is delivered to the Participant in accordance with Section 4.

(b)   The grant of the RSUs by the Company is subject to Employee’s execution and delivery of the attached Proprietary Rights and Confidentiality Agreement between Employee and the Company (or, at the discretion of the Board, a similar agreement containing such terms as the Board, or a duly designated committee thereof, shall determine) (the “Employee Confidentiality Agreement”), if Employee is not currently subject to such an agreement.  These RSUs and all shares of the Employee Stock shall be subject to the terms and

conditions of the Employee Confidentiality Agreement or such similar agreement (whether executed in connection herewith or prior to the date hereof).  In the event the Employee violated the terms of the Employee Confidentiality Agreement, any non-compete agreement, non-solicitation agreement or such similar agreement (whether executed in connection herewith or prior to the date hereof) between the Employee and the Company, any unvested portion of the RSUs shall be forfeited effective as of the date of such breach (and this Agreement and the RSUs shall terminate and expire at such time), unless sooner terminated by operation of another term or condition of this Agreement or the Plan.

(c)   In connection with the receipt of the RSUs and the delivery of any Employee Stock hereunder, Employee represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company that:

(i)            The RSUs and the Employee Stock to be acquired by Employee pursuant to this Agreement shall be acquired for Employee’s own account and not with a view to, or intention of, distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act, or any applicable state securities laws, and the RSUs and the Employee Stock shall not be disposed of in contravention of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws.

(ii)           This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Employee, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Employee do not and shall not conflict with, violate or cause a breach of any agreement, contract or instrument to which Employee is a party or any judgment, order or decree to which Employee is subject.

(iii)          Employee has not taken any action that constitutes a conflict with, violation or breach of, and the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other agreements contemplated hereby will not conflict with, violate or cause a breach of, any noncompete, nonsolicitation or confidentiality agreement to which Employee is a party or by which Employee is bound.  Employee agrees to notify the Board of any matter (including, but not limited to, any potential acquisition by the Company) which, to Employee’s knowledge, might reasonably be expected to violate or cause a breach of any such agreement.

(iv)          Employee is a resident of «Residence».

(v)           Employee has been advised and encouraged in writing (via this Agreement) to consult with an attorney and a tax advisor prior to signing this Agreement.

(d)   As an inducement to the Company to issue any RSUs to Employee, and as a condition thereto, Employee acknowledges and agrees that neither the issuance of the RSUs or the delivery of any Employee Stock nor any provision contained herein shall entitle Employee to employment with the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, or affect the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate Employee’s employment at any time, with or without cause.

(e)   The Company and Employee acknowledge and agree that this Agreement has been executed and delivered, the RSUs have been granted and any Employee Stock that may be

2

delivered hereunder will be delivered, in connection with and as a part of the compensation and incentive arrangements between the Company (together with its Subsidiaries) and Employee.

(f)    In connection with the issuance of any Employee Stock hereunder, Employee hereby agrees and acknowledges that all of the shares of the Employee Stock are subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement.

3.     Vesting.

(a)   Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3, the RSUs shall become vested in accordance with the following schedule, if as of each such date Employee has continuously served as an employee of the Company (or any of its direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries, as applicable) since the date hereof, such that, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, all of the RSUs shall be vested on third anniversary of date of grant:

(b)   Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3, if Employee’s employment with the Company (or any of its direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries, as applicable) terminates for any reason (including upon the death or disability of Employee prior to the vesting of all or any portion of the RSUs awarded under this Agreement), such unvested portion of the RSUs shall immediately be cancelled and Employee (and Employee’s estate, designated beneficiary or other legal representative) shall forfeit any rights or interests in and with respect to any such RSUs.  In the event that the Employee’s employment with the Company (or any of its direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries, as applicable) terminates as a result of Employee’s retirement from the Company (or any of its direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries, as applicable), and each of the following conditions is satisfied: (A) the sum of the total years of such Employee’s service at the Company plus such Employee’s age is equal to (or greater than) 65, (B) the Employee (1) has at least 5 years of service at the Company and (2) is at least 60 years old, and (C) the Employee has executed and delivered  to the Company (at the time of such Employee’s retirement) a general release, in a form satisfactory to the Company, that releases claims that the Employee may have against the Company, then the Performance RSUs awarded under this Agreement shall continue to vest in accordance with the schedule set forth in Section 3(a) above following retirement until such time as the Performance RSUs shall have become vested in full (unless the RSUs are sooner terminated by operation of another term or condition of this Agreement or the Plan).

(c)   In addition to Section 3(a) above, upon a termination by the Company (or any of its direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries, as applicable) without Cause or by Employee with Good Reason of Employee’s employment with the Company (or any of its direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries, as applicable) that also constitutes a “separation from service” within

4.     Delivery of Common Stock.  Subject to the terms of the Plan and Section 6 below, if the RSUs awarded by this Agreement become vested, the Company shall promptly distribute to Employee the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of the RSUs that so vested; provided that to the extent required by Code Section 409A, delivery of shares of Common Stock upon a Participant’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A shall be deferred until the six month anniversary of such separation from service.  In connection with the delivery of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, the Participant agrees to execute any documents reasonably requested by the Company and provide therein customary representations and warranties related to the receipt of such shares of Common Stock.

5.     Certificates.  The shares of Employee Stock may be in certificated or uncertificated form, as permitted by the Company’s Bylaws.

6.     Corporate Event.  In the event any dividend or distribution of Common Stock, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, change of control or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other corporate transaction or event affects the Common Stock, or in the event of the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the business and assets of the Company, whether by sale of assets, merger or otherwise (determined on a consolidated basis) to a Third Party (or group of affiliated Third Parties) (each, a “Corporate Event”), the Board shall, in such manner as it in good faith deems equitable, (i) adjust any or all of the number of shares of Employee Stock or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or property) subject to the RSUs, or (ii) make provision for an immediate cash payment to Employee in consideration for the cancellation of the RSUs, to the extent allowed under Code Section 409A.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6 or Section 3(c), in the event (x) any RSUs would otherwise vest pursuant to Section 3(c) and (y) the Company is not the surviving entity in any Change in Control or the Company sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or substantially all of its business or assets pursuant to such Change in Control, then the Company may provide that any successor to the Company and/or its assets pursuant to such Change in Control shall provide the Employee with the same per share consideration provided to a holder of Common Stock in connection with such Change in Control in lieu of otherwise allowing such RSUs to vest pursuant to Section 3(c).
