This RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made by and between Oclaro, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and you (the “Participant”), as of the Grant Date, which is set forth in the Notice of Grant (the “Notice”) provided to the Participant by the Company’s third-party equity plan administrator. Unless otherwise indicated, any capitalized term used herein, but not defined herein, shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Oclaro, Inc.

For valuable consideration, receipt of which is acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.Issuance of Shares.
In consideration of services rendered by the Participant to the Company or an Affiliate thereto and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Plan, and the Notice, the Company shall issue to the Participant the number of shares of common stock, $0.01 par value, of the Company as indicated in the Notice (the “Shares”). The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Shares shall be subject to the forfeiture provisions set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement and the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement. The Shares shall be registered in the Participant’s name and shall be fully paid and nonassessable.
2.Vesting.

this Section 2(c), the term “Company” shall include any successor thereto in connection with a Change in Control.
3.Automatic Sale Upon Vesting.
(a) Upon any vesting of the Shares pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the Company shall sell, or arrange for the sale of, or withhold, such number of Shares no longer subject to forfeiture under Section 2 as is sufficient to satisfy the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligations with respect to the income recognized by the Participant upon the lapse of the forfeiture provisions (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for all tax purposes that are applicable to such income).
(b) The Participant hereby appoints the General Counsel or other designated individuals of the Company as his/her attorney in fact to sell the Participant’s Shares in accordance with this Section 3. The Participant agrees to execute and deliver such documents, instruments and certificates as may reasonably be required in connection with the sale or withholding of the Shares pursuant to this Section 3.
(c) The Participant represents to the Company, that as of the date hereof, he/she is not aware of any material non-public information about the Company or the Shares. The Participant and the Company have structured this Agreement to constitute a “binding contract” relating to the sale of Shares pursuant to this Section 3, consistent with the affirmative defense liability under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 under Rule 10b-5-1(c) promulgated under such Act.
4.Restrictions on Transfer.
(a) The Participant shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, by operation of law or otherwise (collectively “transfer”) any Shares, or any interest therein, until such Shares have vested.
(b) The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any of the Shares which have been transferred in violation of any of the provisions set forth in this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to pay dividends to any transferee to whom such Shares have been transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
5.Restrictive Legends.
All Shares subject to this Agreement shall be subject to the following restriction, in addition to any other restrictions that may be required under federal or state securities laws:
“The shares of stock represented by this certificate are subject to forfeiture provisions and restrictions on transfer set forth in a certain Restricted Stock Award Agreement between the corporation and the registered owner of these shares (or his or her predecessor

in interest), and such agreement is available for inspection without charge at the office of the Secretary of the corporation.”
6.Provisions of the Plan.
This Agreement is subject to the provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is furnished to the Participant with this Agreement, and the Notice.
7.Withholding Taxes; No Section 83(b) Election.
(a) Regardless of any action the Company or the Participant’s employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other Tax-Related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Participant is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the grant, including the grant or vesting, the subsequent sale of the Shares and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Shares to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or to achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant becomes subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
The Participant shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all withholding obligations of the Company and/or the Employer, if any. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Participant from the Participant’s compensation paid to the Participant by the Company and/or the Employer or from proceeds of the sale of Shares. Alternatively, or in addition, if permissible under local law, the Company may (A) sell or arrange for the sale of Shares that the Participant acquires to meet the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items and/or (B) withhold Shares to satisfy the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items, provided that the Company only withholds the amount of Shares necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount. Finally, the Participant 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 as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan or the Participant’s purchase of Shares that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.
(b) The Participant has reviewed with the Participant’s own tax advisors the federal, state, local and other tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. The Participant understands that the Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Participant’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

8.Nature of Grant. In accepting the grant, Participant acknowledges that:
(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Plan, this Agreement or the Notice;
(b) the grant of the Shares is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Shares, or benefits in lieu of Shares, even if Shares have been granted repeatedly in the past;
(c) all decisions with respect to future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(d) the Participant’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate the Participant’s employment relationship at any time with or without cause;

(h) in the event that the Participant is not an employee of the Company or an affiliate thereto, the Shares grant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company; and furthermore, the Shares grant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with the Employer or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company;
(i) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(j) the value of the Shares may increase or decrease in value;

(k) in consideration of the grant of the Shares, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination or diminution in value of the Shares resulting from termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever) and the Participant irrevocably releases the Company and the Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing this Agreement, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived the Participant’s entitlement to pursue such claim; and
(l) in the event of termination of the Participant’s employment prior to a vesting date, for purposes of Section 2 hereof, the Participant’s termination date shall be deemed to occur on the date that Participant is no longer actively employed and shall not be extended by any notice period mandated under the local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law).
9. Data Privacy. The Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Participant’s personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

The Participant understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Participant’s country. The Participant understands that the Participant may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the Participant’s local human resources representative. The Participant authorizes the Company and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that the Participant may, at any time, view the Data, request additional information about the storage processing of the Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or
