RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT ISSUANCE AGREEMENT

RECITALS

A. The Board has adopted the Plan for the purpose of providing incentives to attract, retain and motivate eligible Employees, Directors and Consultants who provide services to the Corporation (or any Related Entity).

B. Participant is to render valuable services to the Corporation (or a Related Entity), and this Agreement is executed pursuant to, and is intended to carry out the purposes of, the Plan in connection with the Corporation’s issuance of shares of Common Stock to Participant thereunder.

C. All capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to them in the attached Appendix A.

NOW, THEREFORE , the Corporation hereby awards Restricted Stock Units to Participant upon the following terms and conditions:

1. Grant of Restricted Stock Units . The Corporation hereby awards to Participant, as of the Award Date, Restricted Stock Units under the Plan. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock on the vesting date of that unit. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to the awarded Restricted Stock Units, the applicable vesting schedule for those shares, the dates on which those vested shares shall become issuable to Participant and the remaining terms and conditions governing the award (the “Award”) shall be as set forth in this Agreement.

AWARD SUMMARY

Participant shall, within fifteen (15) days after the attainment of each Performance Objective, notify the Administrator of the Completion Date of that Performance Objective. Within forty-five (45) days after receipt of such notice, the Administrator shall, in its sole discretion, determine and certify whether that Performance Objective has in fact been attained. Upon the Administrator’s certification that the Performance Objective has been attained, the Pro-Rated Shares allotted to that Performance Objective shall vest; provided, however that Participant shall not vest in any portion of those Pro-Rated Shares unless Participant remained in Continuous Service through the Completion Date for that Performance Objective (the “Normal Vesting Schedule”).

Should the Administrator determine that one or more Performance Objectives has not been attained prior to the latest Completion Dates for those Performance Objectives, then Participant shall not vest in any of the Pro-Rated Shares allotted to those Performance Objectives, and this Award shall be cancelled with respect to the Restricted Stock Units covering those Pro-Rated Shares.

One or more Shares may also vest accordance with the special vesting provisions of Paragraph 3 or 5 of this Agreement, whether or not the Performance Objectives allotted to those Shares are attained.

2. Limited Transferability . Prior to the actual issuance of the Shares which vest hereunder, Participant may not transfer any interest in the restricted stock units subject to the Award or the underlying Shares or pledge or otherwise hedge the sale of those units or Shares, including (without limitation) any short sale or any acquisition or disposition of any put or call option or other instrument tied to the value of those Shares. However, any Shares which vest hereunder but otherwise remain unissued at the time of Participant’s death may be transferred pursuant to the provisions of Participant’s will or the laws of inheritance or to Participant’s designated beneficiary or beneficiaries of this Award. Participant may also direct the Corporation to record the ownership of any Shares which in fact vest and become issuable hereunder in the name of a revocable living trust established for the exclusive benefit of Participant or Participant and his or her spouse. Participant may make such a beneficiary designation or ownership directive at any time by filing the appropriate form with the Plan Administrator or its designee.

3. Continuous Service Requirement .

(a) Should Participant’s Continuous Service terminate for any reason other than death or Permanent Disability prior to the latest Completion Dates for one or more Performance Objective that have not otherwise been attained, then the Award shall be immediately cancelled with respect to the Pro-Rated Shares allocated to those Performance Objective, and the number of Restricted Stock Units will be reduced accordingly. Participant shall thereupon cease to have any right or entitlement to receive any Shares under those cancelled units.

(b) Should Participant’s Continuous Service terminate by reason of death or Permanent Disability prior to the latest Completion Dates for one or more Performance Objectives that have not otherwise been attained, then Participant shall vest in a portion of the Pro-Rated Shares allotted to each of those particular Performance Objectives. The portion of Pro-Rated Shares in which Participant shall vest with respect to each such Performance Objective shall be determined by multiplying the number of those Pro-Rated Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months (rounded to the next whole month) in which Participant remained in Continuous Service following the Award Date, and the denominator of which is the number of months (rounded to the closest whole number) in the period beginning with the Award Date and ending with the latest Completion Date for that particular Performance Objective. The Pro-Rated Shares in which Participant so vests shall be issued within thirty (30) days after the date on which the Participant’s Continuous Service terminates, but in no event later than the later of (i) the close of the calendar year in which such termination of Continuous Service occurs or (ii) the fifteenth day of the third calendar month following such termination date (the “Issuance Date”).

4. Stockholder Rights and Dividend Equivalents .

(a) The holder of this Award shall not have any stockholder rights, including voting, dividend or liquidation rights, with respect to the Shares subject to the Award until Participant becomes the record holder of those Shares following their actual issuance after the Corporation’s collection of the applicable Withholding Taxes.

3

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, should any dividend or other distribution, whether regular or extraordinary and whether payable in cash, securities (other than Common Stock) or other property, be declared and paid on the outstanding Common Stock while one or more Shares remain subject to this Award (i.e., those Shares are not otherwise issued and outstanding for purposes of entitlement to the dividend or distribution), then a special book account shall be established for Participant and credited with a phantom dividend equivalent to the actual dividend or distribution which would have been paid on the Shares at the time subject to this Award had they been issued and outstanding and entitled to that dividend or distribution. As one or more Shares subsequently vest hereunder upon the satisfaction of the applicable vesting requirements, the phantom dividend equivalents credited to those particular Shares in the book account shall vest and be distributed to Participant (in the same form the actual dividend or distribution was paid to the holders of the Common Stock entitled to that dividend or distribution or in such other form as the Administrator deems appropriate under the circumstances) concurrently with the issuance of those vested Shares. However, such distribution shall be subject to the Corporation’s collection of the Withholding Taxes applicable to that distribution. Should Participant cease Continuous Service prior to vesting in one or more Shares, then the phantom dividend equivalents credited to those Shares shall be cancelled, and Participant shall thereupon cease to have any further right or entitlement to those cancelled amounts.

5. Change of Control .

(a) To the extent (i) a Change in Control is consummated prior to the latest Completion Dates for one or more Performance Objectives that have not otherwise been attained and (ii) Participant remains in Continuous Service through the effective date of that Change in Control, then the Pro-Rata Shares allotted to each of those particular Performance Objectives shall immediately vest at the time of such Change in Control and shall be issued immediately on the effective date of such Change in Control or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter, but in no event more than fifteen (15) business days after such effective date, or will otherwise be converted into the right to receive the same consideration per share of Common Stock payable to the other stockholders of the Corporation in consummation of the Change in Control and distributed at the same time as such stockholder payments, but in no event shall such distribution to Participant be completed later than the later of (i) the end of the calendar year in which such Change in Control is effected or (ii) the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) calendar month following the effective date of that Change in Control (the “Issuance Date”). Each issuance or distribution made under this Paragraph 5 shall be subject to the Corporation’s collection of the applicable Withholding Taxes.

(b) This Agreement shall not in any way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

6. Adjustment in Shares . Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares, spin-off transaction or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration, or should the value of the

4

outstanding shares of Common Stock be substantially reduced as a result of a spin-off transaction or an extraordinary dividend or distribution, or should there occur any merger, consolidation or other reorganization, then equitable and proportional adjustments shall be made by the Administrator to the total number and/or class of securities issuable pursuant to this Award in order to reflect such change and thereby prevent a dilution or enlargement of benefits hereunder. In making such equitable and proportional adjustments, the Administrator shall take into account any amounts to be credited to Participant’s book account under Paragraph 4(b) in connection with the transaction, and the determination of the Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive. In the event of a Change in Control, the provisions of Paragraph 5 shall be controlling.

7. Issuance of Shares of Common Stock .

(a) The Corporation shall, on the applicable Issuance Date, issue to or on behalf of Participant a certificate (which may be in electronic form) for the shares of Common Stock in which Participant vests pursuant to the Normal Vesting Schedule set forth in Paragraph 1 or the special vesting provisions of Paragraph 3 or 5 and shall concurrently distribute to the Participant any phantom dividend equivalents with respect to those Shares.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 3(b) or 5(a), no shares of Common Stock shall be issued prior to the Completion Date of the Performance Objective to which those shares are allotted.

(c) The Corporation shall collect the Withholding Taxes with respect to each distribution of phantom dividend equivalents by withholding a portion of that distribution equal to the amount of the applicable Withholding Taxes, with the cash portion of the distribution to be the first portion
