STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

Payment for Stock Units

 

No payment is required for the Stock Units you receive.

 

 

 

Vesting

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Stock Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”), your Stock Units vest in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Notice of Stock Unit Award.

 

 

 

Forfeiture

 

When your common-law employment with the Company or a Subsidiary terminates for any reason, vesting of your Stock Units subject to such Award immediately stops and such Award expires immediately as to the number of Stock Units that are not vested as of the date such Continuous Service terminates.

 

 

 

 

 

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 Continuous Service terminates for this purpose and all purposes under the Plan.

 

 

 

 

 

If you go on a leave of absence for any reason, then unless otherwise adjusted in accordance with the Company’s leave of absence policy or the terms of your leave, the vesting schedule specified in the Notice of Stock Unit Award will be adjusted to suspend vesting after the first 90 days of leave unless you return to work on or before the 91st day following commencement of the leave.

 

 

 

Nature of Stock Units

 

Your Stock 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 Stock Units, you have no rights other than the rights of a general creditor of the Company.

 

 

 

No Voting Rights or Dividends

 

Your 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 Stock Units are settled by issuing shares of the Company’s Common Stock. 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.

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

Settlement of Stock Units

 

Each of your Stock Units will be settled when it vests.

 

 

 

 

 

At the time of settlement, you will receive one share of the Company’s Common Stock for each vested Stock Unit; provided, however, that no fractional Share 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.

 

 

 

Withholding Taxes and Stock Withholding

 

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no certificate representing the Shares will be issued to you unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Company) will have been made by you with respect to the payment of income, employment and other taxes which the Company determines must be withheld with respect to such Shares so issuable (the “Withholding Taxes”).

 

 

 

 

 

In its discretion, the Company may withhold otherwise deliverable Shares upon vesting of Stock Units, according to the vesting schedule, having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld for the payment of the Withholding Taxes pursuant to such procedures as the Company may specify from time to time. The Company will not retain fractional Shares to satisfy any portion of the Withholding Taxes. If the Company determines that the withholding of whole Shares results in an over-withholding to meet the minimum tax withholding requirements, a reimbursement will be made to you as soon as administratively possible.

 

 

 

 

 

The Company may also provide for the payment of Withholding Taxes, in whole or in part, by one of the additional following alternatives:

 

 

 

 

 

(a) you provide irrevocable instructions to a Company-designated broker to deliver cash to the Company (or your employer) from your previously established account with such broker equal to the Withholding Taxes; or

 

 

 

 

 

(b) you provide irrevocable instructions to a Company-designated broker to sell a sufficient number of Shares otherwise deliverable to you having a Fair Market Value equal to the Withholding Taxes, provided that such sale does not violate Company policy or

 

2




 

 

applicable laws.

 

 

 

 

 

If you fail to make satisfactory arrangements for the payment of the Withholding Taxes hereunder at the time any applicable Stock Units otherwise are scheduled to vest pursuant to the vesting schedule, you will permanently forfeit such Stock Units and any Shares otherwise deliverable with respect thereto, and the Stock Units will be returned to the Company at no cost to the Company.

 

 

 

Restrictions on Resale

 

By signing this Agreement, you agree not to sell any shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued upon settlement of the 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 director of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company.

 

 

 

Adjustments

 

In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in Company stock, the number of Stock Units covered by this Award may be adjusted pursuant to the Plan.

 

 

 

Beneficiary Designation

 

You may dispose of your 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 Stock Units that you hold at the time of your death.

 

 

 

Entire Agreement; Governing Law

 

The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. The Plan, the Notice of Stock Unit Award and this Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements and all contemporaneous oral undertakings and agreements of the Company and you with respect to the subject matter hereof, including but not limited to the grant or promise of any right or option to purchase shares of capital stock of the Company to you pursuant to any employment agreement or offer letter delivered by the Company to you or otherwise, and may not be modified to materially and adversely affect your interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and you. This Agreement is governed by California law except for that body of law pertaining to its conflict of laws.
