Delivery Schedule: The Company shall deliver one share of Common Stock for each Restricted Stock Unit that vests on an applicable vesting date, subject to the provisions of Section 3 below.

ATTACHMENTS: Appendix

The Company has awarded you a Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Award”) pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Company’s 2006 Employee Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) for the number of Restricted Stock Units as indicated on the first page of this Agreement. Defined terms not explicitly defined in this Agreement but defined in the Plan shall have the same definitions as in the Plan. Subject to adjustment and the terms and conditions as provided herein and in the Plan, each Restricted Stock Unit shall represent the right to receive one (1) share of Common Stock.

The details of your Award, in addition to those set forth above, are as follows.

1. NUMBER OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS AND SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.

(a) The number of Restricted Stock Units subject to your Award and the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable with respect to such Restricted Stock Units may be adjusted from time to time for Capitalization Adjustments as described in Section 9(a) of the Plan. You shall receive no benefit or adjustment to your Award with respect to any cash dividend or other distribution that does not result in a Capitalization Adjustment pursuant to Section 9(a) of the Plan; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply with respect to any shares of Common Stock that are delivered to you in connection with your Award after such shares have been delivered to you.

(b) Any additional Restricted Stock Units, shares of Common Stock, cash or other property that becomes subject to the Award pursuant to this Section 1 shall be subject, in a manner determined by the Board, to the same forfeiture restrictions, restrictions on transferability, and time and manner of delivery as applicable to the other Restricted Stock Units and Common Stock covered by your Award.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1, no fractional Restricted Stock Units or rights for fractional shares of Common Stock shall be created pursuant to this Section 1. The Board shall, in its discretion, determine an equivalent benefit for any fractional Restricted Stock Units or fractional shares that might be created by the adjustments referred to in this Section 1.

2. VESTING.

Subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement and the Plan, the Restricted Stock Units shall vest as provided in the vesting schedule set forth above, provided that vesting shall cease upon the termination of your Continuous Service. Any Restricted Stock Units that have not yet vested shall be forfeited upon the termination of your Continuous Service.

3. DISTRIBUTION OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, in the event one or more Restricted Stock Units vests, the Company shall deliver to you one (1) share of Common Stock for each Restricted Stock Unit that vests. Except as set forth below, the delivery to you of the appropriate number of vested shares of Common Stock shall be made on the applicable vesting date. The issuance date determined by this paragraph is referred to as the “Issuance Date.” If the Issuance Date falls on a date that is not a business day, delivery shall instead occur on the next following business day. The form of such delivery (e.g., a stock certificate or electronic entry evidencing such shares) shall be determined by the Company.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) the Issuance Date does not occur (1) during an “open window period” applicable to you, as determined by the Company in accordance with the Company’s then-effective policy on trading in Company securities, or (2) on a date when you are otherwise permitted to sell shares of Common Stock on an established stock exchange or stock market, and (ii) the Company elects, prior to the Issuance Date, (1) not to satisfy the tax withholding obligations described in Section 10 by withholding shares of Common Stock from the shares otherwise due, on the Issuance Date, to you under this Agreement, and (2) not to permit or require you to enter into an immediate sale commitment with a broker-dealer pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement (including but not limited to a commitment under a previously established Company-approved 10b5-1 trading plan), then such shares shall not be delivered on such Issuance Date and shall instead be delivered on the first business day of the next occurring open window period applicable to you or the next business day when you are not prohibited from selling shares of the Company’s Common Stock in the open public market, but in no event later than December 31 of the calendar year in which the Issuance Date occurs (that is, the last day of your taxable year in which the Issuance Date occurs), or, if permitted in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4), in no event later than the date that is the 15th day of the third calendar month of the year following the year in which the shares of Common Stock under this Agreement are no longer subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(d).

4. PAYMENT BY YOU. This Award was granted in consideration of your services to the Company or an Affiliate. Subject to Section 10 below, except as otherwise provided herein or under applicable law, you will not be required to make any payment to the Company (other than your-future services with the Company) with respect to your receipt of the Award, vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, or the delivery of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units.

5. SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE. You may not be issued any Common Stock under your Award unless the shares of Common Stock are either (i) then registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or (ii) the Company has determined that such issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Your Award must also comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing the Award, and you shall not receive such Common Stock if the Company determines that such receipt would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.

3

6. RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS. The Common Stock issued under your Award shall be endorsed with appropriate legends, if any, determined by the Company.

7. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. Prior to the time that shares of Common Stock have been delivered to you, you may not transfer, pledge, sell or otherwise dispose of the shares in respect of your Award. For example, you may not use shares that may be issued in respect of your Restricted Stock Units as security for a loan, nor may you transfer, pledge, sell or otherwise dispose of such shares. This restriction on transfer will lapse upon delivery to you of shares in respect of your vested Restricted Stock Units. Your Award is not transferable, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In the event of divorce, you are encouraged to discuss the proposed treatment of the Restricted Stock Units with the Company prior to finalizing any domestic relations order.

8. AWARD NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT. Your Award is not an employment or service contract, and nothing in your Award shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the service of the Company or any Affiliate, or on the part of the Company or any Affiliate to continue such service. In addition, nothing in your Award shall obligate the Company or any Affiliate, their respective stockholders, boards of directors or employees to continue any relationship that you might have as an Employee or Consultant of the Company or any Affiliate. Finally, your participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment or service with the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate your employment or service relationship at any time with or without cause.

9. UNSECURED OBLIGATION. Your Award is unfunded, and even as to any Restricted Stock Units which vest, you shall be considered an unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to the Company’s obligation, if any, to issue Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement. You shall not have voting or any other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Common Stock acquired pursuant to this Agreement until such Common Stock is issued to you pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement. Upon such issuance, you will obtain full voting and other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Common Stock so issued and held by you. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between you and the Company or any other person.

10. WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS.

(a) On or before the time you receive a distribution of Common Stock pursuant to your Award, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby authorize any required withholding from the Common Stock issuable to you and otherwise agree to make adequate provision for any sums required to satisfy any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding which arise and are legally due by you (“Tax-Related Items”) which arise in connection with your Award. In addition, you authorize the Company, or your employer, if different from the Company (whether current or former, the “Employer”), or their respective agents, to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Employer. Alternatively, or in addition, to the greatest extent permissible under local law, the Employer

4

may (1) sell or arrange for the sale of shares (including permitting or requiring you to enter into an immediate sale commitment with a broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) that you would otherwise receive (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization) to meet the necessary withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items, and/or (2) withhold in shares the amount of shares necessary to satisfy applicable Tax-Related Items, the number of which shall be determined to comply with appropriate tax laws and as would be otherwise necessary or desirable. If the obligation for the Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Common Stock, then you will have no further rights, title or interests in or to the number of shares of Common Stock that are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items. Finally, you shall pay to the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of your receipt of the Award and/or the shares issuable pursuant thereto that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Employer may refuse to deliver the shares issuable pursuant to this Award if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this section.

(b) Unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company and/or any Affiliate are satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver to you any Common Stock or the proceeds from any sale of the shares of Common Stock.

(c) In the event the Company’s obligation to withhold arises prior to the delivery to you of Common Stock or it is determined after the delivery of Common Stock to you that the amount of the Company’s withholding obligation was greater than the amount withheld by the Company, you agree to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any failure by the Company to withhold the proper amount.

(d) Regardless of any action Employer takes with respect to Tax-Related Items, you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by you is and remains your responsibility and that the Employer (1) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant, vesting or settlement of the Award and/or the subsequent sale of shares delivered pursuant thereto; and (2) does not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if you are or become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that the Employer may be required to withhold, account for, and/or otherwise cause you to tender a payment to the Employer in the amount of the Tax-Related Items arising in each jurisdiction.

Notwithstanding any discretion or anything to the contrary in the Plan and/or the Agreement, the grant of the Restricted Stock Units does not provide any right for you to receive a cash payment and the vested Restricted Stock Units will be settled in shares only.

Withholding Obligations. The following provision supplements Section 10 of the Agreement:

If you do not pay or the Company or the Employer does not withhold from you the full amount of income tax that you owe within ninety (90) days of the event giving rise to the Tax-Related Items (the “Due Date”) or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003, the amount of any uncollected Tax-Related Items will constitute a loan owed by you to the Employer, effective on the Due Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), you will not be eligible for such a loan to cover the Tax-Related Items. In the event that you are a director or executive officer and the Tax-Related Items are not collected from or paid by you by the Due Date, the amount of any uncollected Tax-Related Items will constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions (including the Employer’s Liability, as defined below) will be payable.

As a condition of your participation in the Plan, you agree to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 national insurance contributions (the “Employer’s Liability”) which may be payable by the Company and/or the Employer in connection with the Restricted Stock Units and any event giving rise to Tax-Related Items. Without prejudice to the foregoing, you agree to execute a joint election with the Company (the “Joint Election”), the form of such Joint Election being formally approved by HMRC and attached hereto as Exhibit A, and any other consent or elections required to accomplish the transfer of the Employer’s Liability to you.
