RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
Restricted Stock Unit Transferability
|
This grant is an award of restricted stock units in the number of units set forth on the first page of this Agreement, subject to the vesting conditions described in this Agreement (“Stock Units”). Your Stock Units may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated, whether by operation of law or otherwise, nor may the Stock Units be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process. | |
Vesting
|
Your Stock Units will vest as indicated on the first page of this Agreement, provided you remain in Service on the vesting date and meet any applicable vesting requirements set forth in this Agreement. Except as provided in this Agreement, or in any other agreement between you and the Company, no additional Stock Units will vest after your Service has terminated. | |
Share Delivery Pursuant to Vested Units;
Withholding Tax
|
Shares underlying the vested portion of the Stock Units will be delivered to you by the Company as soon as practicable following the applicable vesting date for those shares, but in no event beyond 21/2 months after the end of the calendar year in which the shares would have been otherwise delivered. | |
| On the vesting date (or as soon as practicable thereafter), a brokerage account in your name will be credited with Xxxxx representing the number of shares that vested under this grant (the “Vesting Shares”). If the vesting date is not a trading day, the Stock will be delivered on the next trading day. The Company will determine, in its sole discretion, the number of the Vesting Shares necessary to cover the amount of any federal, state, local, and foreign taxes that the Company is required to withhold or pay (on behalf of the Company or you as holder) with respect to the Stock Units vesting, rounding up to the nearest whole Share of Stock (the “Withholding Shares”). | ||
| By accepting this award of Stock Units, you irrevocably (i) instruct the Company to deliver the Vesting Shares to your account; and (ii) authorize and direct the broker, to sell, on your behalf, the Withholding Shares at the market price per share at the time of such sale, and (iii) expressly consent to |
REV B March 2010
2
| the delivery of the proceeds of the sale of Withholding Shares to the Company to be used to fund the payment of any applicable taxes (whether on behalf of the Company or you as holder) with respect to the Stock Units. You further acknowledge that this irrevocable written instruction is intended to constitute an instruction pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. The Company shall be responsible for the payment of any brokerage commissions relating to the sale of the Withholding Shares. | ||
| You acknowledge that until the first trading day following the broker’s sale of the Withholding Shares, you shall not be entitled to effect transactions in the net Vesting Shares credited to your brokerage account. | ||
| The purchase price for the vested Shares of Stock is deemed paid by your prior services to the Company. | ||
Forfeiture of Unvested Units
|
Except as specifically provided in this Agreement or as may be provided in other agreements between you and the Company, no additional Stock Units will vest after your Service has terminated for any reason and you will forfeit to the Company all of the Stock Units that have not yet vested or with respect to which all applicable restrictions and conditions have not lapsed. | |
Death
|
If your Service terminates because of your death, the Stock Units granted under this Agreement will automatically vest as to the number of Stock Units that would have vested had you remained in Service for the 12 month period immediately following your death. | |
Disability
|
If your Service terminates because of your Disability, the Stock Units granted under this Agreement will automatically vest as to the number of Stock Units that would have vested had you remained in Service for the 12 month period immediately following your Disability. | |
Termination For Cause
|
If your Service is terminated for Cause, then you shall immediately forfeit all rights to your Stock Units and this award shall immediately terminate. | |
Leaves of Absence
|
For purposes of this grant, your Service does not terminate when you go on a bona fide leave of absence approved by the Company, if the terms of your leave provide for continued Service crediting, or when continued Service crediting is required by applicable law. The Company will determine, in |
REV B March 2010
3
| its sole discretion, whether and when a leave of absence constitutes a termination of Service under the Plan. | ||
Retention Rights
|
Neither your Stock Units nor this Agreement give you the right to be retained by the Company or any Affiliate in any capacity and your Service may be terminated at any time and for any reason. | |
Shareholder Rights
|
You have no rights as a shareholder unless and until the Stock relating to the Stock Units has been issued to you (or an appropriate book entry has been made). Except as described in the Plan or herein, no adjustments are made for dividends or other rights if the applicable record date occurs before your Stock is issued (or an appropriate book entry has been made). If the Company pays a dividend on its Stock, you will, however, be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the per-share dividend paid on the Stock times the number of vested Stock Units that you hold as of the record date for the dividend. | |
Applicable Law
|
Any suit, action or other legal proceeding that is commenced to resolve any matter arising under or relating to this Agreement or the Plan shall be commenced only in a court in the State of Delaware and the parties to this Agreement consent to the jurisdiction of such court. You agree to waive your rights to a jury trial for any claim or cause of action based upon or arising out of this Agreement or the Plan. | |
Data Privacy
|
In order to administer the Plan, the Company may process personal data about you. Such data includes the information provided in this Agreement, other appropriate personal and financial data about you such as home address and business addresses and other contact information, payroll information and any other information deemed appropriate by the Company to facilitate the administration of the Plan. | |
| By accepting this Stock Unit award, you consent to the Company’s processing of such personal data and the transfer of such data outside the country in which you work or are employed, including, with respect to non-U.S. residents, to the United States, to transferees who shall include the Company and other persons designated by the Company to administer the Plan. | ||

or more from the sale of Shares to repatriate the proceeds to Korea within eighteen months of the

MEXICO
Terms and Conditions. By accepting the Restricted Stock Units, you understand and agree that any
modification of the Plan or the Agreement or its termination shall not constitute a change or
impairment of the terms and conditions of employment.
Policy Statement. The Award of Restricted Stock Units the Company is making under the Plan is
unilateral and discretionary and, therefore, the Company reserves the absolute right to amend it
and discontinue it at any time without any liability.
The Company, with registered offices at 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, X.X.X., is
solely responsible for the administration of the Plan and participation in the Plan and the
acquisition of Shares does not, in any way, establish an employment relationship between you and
the Company since you are participating in the Plan on a wholly commercial basis and the sole
employer is Ciena Communications Mexico S.A. de C.V. or Ciena Mexico S.A. de C.V., nor does it
establish any rights between you and the Employer.
Plan Document Acknowledgment. By accepting the Award of Restricted Stock Units, you acknowledge
that you have received copies of and have reviewed the Plan, the Agreement and the Grant Notice in
their entirety and fully understand and accept all provisions thereof.
In addition, by accept this Award, you further acknowledge that: (i) participation in the Plan does
not constitute an acquired right; (ii) the Plan and participation in the Plan is offered by the
Company on a wholly discretionary basis; (iii) participation in the Plan is voluntary; and (iv) the
Company and any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate are not responsible for any decrease in the value
of the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units.
Finally, you hereby declare that you do not reserve any action or right to bring any claim against
the Company for any compensation or damages as a result of your participation in the Plan and
therefore grant a full and broad release to the Employer, the Company and any Parent, Subsidiary or
Affiliate with respect to any claim that may arise under the Plan.
NETHERLANDS
Nature of Grant. In accepting the Award, Xxxxxxx acknowledges that (i) the Restricted Stock Units
granted under the Plan are intended as an incentive for Grantee to remain employed with the
REV B March 2010
12
Employer and are not intended as remuneration for labor performed; (ii) the Restricted Stock Units
are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation; and (iii) the benefits under the
Plan will not automatically transfer to another corporation in the case of a merger, take-over or
transfer of liability.
Securities Law Information. Grantee should be aware of the Dutch xxxxxxx xxxxxxx rules which may
impact the sale of Shares acquired under the Plan. In particular, Grantee may be prohibited from
effecting certain transactions if he or she has inside information regarding the Company.
By accepting this Award, Xxxxxxx acknowledges having read and understood this Securities Law
Information section and acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to comply with the
following Dutch xxxxxxx xxxxxxx rules.
Under Article 46 of the Act on the Supervision of the Securities Trade 1995, anyone who has “inside
information” related to an issuing company is prohibited from effectuating a transaction in
securities in or from the Netherlands. “Inside information” is defined as knowledge of details
concerning the issuing company to which the securities relate that is not public and which, if
published, would reasonably be expected to affect the stock price, regardless of the development of
the price.
Given the broad scope of the definition of inside information, certain employees of the Company
working at a Subsidiary in the Netherlands (including Grantee) may have inside information and,
thus, would be prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in the Netherlands at a
time when Grantee had such inside information.
POLAND
Exchange Control Information. Polish residents who hold foreign securities (including Shares) and
maintain accounts abroad must report information to the National Bank of Poland on transactions and
balances of the securities and cash deposited in such accounts if the value of such transactions or
balances exceeds €10,000. If required, the reports are due on a quarterly basis by the 20th day
following the end of each quarter. The reports are filed on special forms available on the website
of the National Bank of Poland.
RUSSIA
U.S. Transaction. Grantee understands that the Restricted Stock Units shall be valid and this Award
shall be concluded and become effective only when acceptance of this Award is received
electronically or otherwise by the Company in the United States. In no event will Award Shares
issued to Grantee pursuant to the Restricted Stock Units be delivered to Grantee in Russia; Award
Shares issued to Grantee pursuant to the Restricted Stock Units shall be delivered to Grantee
through E*Trade Financial Services, Inc. in the United States and kept on Xxxxxxx’s behalf in the
United States. Grantee is not permitted to sell Award Shares acquired upon vesting/settlement of
the Restricted Stock Units directly to other Russian legal entities or residents.
Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. The Company reserves the right to force the immediate sale of
any Award Shares to be issued upon vesting/settlement of the Restricted Stock Units. If applicable,
Xxxxxxx agrees that the Company is authorized to instruct its designated broker to assist with the
mandatory sale of such Award Shares (on Xxxxxxx’s behalf pursuant to this authorization) and
REV B March 2010
13
Grantee expressly authorizes the Company’s designated broker to complete the sale of such Award
Shares. Xxxxxxx acknowledges that the Company’s designated broker is under no obligation to arrange
for the sale of the Award Shares at any particular price. Upon the sale of the Award Shares, the
Company agrees to pay Grantee the cash proceeds from the sale of the Award Shares, less any
brokerage fees or commissions and subject to any obligation to satisfy Tax-Related Items. Xxxxxxx
acknowledges that he or she is not aware of any material nonpublic information with respect to the
Company or any securities of the Company as of the date of this Award.
Securities Law Information. The Plan, the Award (including this Appendix), the Grant Notice and all
other materials Grantee may receive regarding participation in the Plan do not constitute
advertising or an offering of securities in Russia. The issuance of Award Shares acquired at
vesting has not and will not be registered in Russia, unless future changes in the relevant
securities regulations require otherwise. Therefore, Award Shares and any other securities
described in any Plan-related documents may not be used for public offering or public circulation
in Russia.
Exchange Control Information. Under current exchange control regulations, and to the extent it
continues to be required by local law, Grantee must repatriate the proceeds from the sale of Award
Shares and any dividends received in relation to the Shares to Russia within a reasonably short
period after receipt. The sale proceeds and any dividends received must be initially credited to
the Grantee through a foreign currency account opened in Grantee’s name at an authorized bank in
Russia. After the sale proceeds are initially received in Russia, they may be further remitted to
foreign banks in accordance with Russian exchange control laws. Xxxxxxx is encouraged to contact
Xxxxxxx’s personal advisor before remitting his or her sale proceeds to Russia as exchange control
requirements may change.
SINGAPORE
Securities Law Information. The grant of the Restricted Stock Units is being made on a private
basis and is, therefore, exempt from registration in Singapore.
Director Notification Requirement. Directors of a Singaporean Subsidiary or affiliate are subject
to certain notification requirements under the Singapore Companies Act. Directors must notify the
Singaporean Subsidiary or affiliate in writing of an interest (e.g., Restricted Stock Units, Award
Shares, etc.) in the Company or any related companies within two days of (i) its acquisition or
disposal, (ii) any change in a previously disclosed interest (e.g., when the Award Shares are
sold), or (iii) becoming a director.
SPAIN
Nature of Grant. In accepting this Award, Xxxxxxx consents to participate in the Plan and
acknowledges that he or she has received a copy of the Plan, the Agreement and the Grant Notice.
Xxxxxxx understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to
grant Restricted Stock Units under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or a
Subsidiary throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the
express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company
or any Subsidiary. Consequently, Xxxxxxx understands that the Award is granted on the
REV B March 2010
14
assumption and condition that the Award and any Shares issued upon vesting of the Restricted Stock
Units are not part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any Subsidiary) and shall
not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation)
or any other right whatsoever. Further, Xxxxxxx understands that he or she will not be entitled to
continue vesting in the Restricted Stock Units after Termination of Service. In addition, Xxxxxxx
understands that the Award would not be granted to Grantee but for the assumptions and conditions
referred to herein; thus, Grantee acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the

Restricted Stock Units Payable Only in Common Stock. Notwithstanding any discretion in the Plan,
the Grant Notice or the Agreement to the contrary, upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units,
Shares will be issued as set forth in this section. In no event will the Award be paid to Grantee
in the form of cash.
Taxes. If payment or withholding of the Tax-Related Items (including the Employer NICs, as defined
below) is not made 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
REV B March 2010

(Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003, the amount of any uncollected Tax-Related Items will constitute a
loan owed by Grantee to the Employer, effective on the Due Date. Xxxxxxx agrees that the loan will
bear interest at the then-current Official Rate of Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”), it
will be immediately due and repayable, and the Company or the Employer may recover it at any time
thereafter by any of the means referred to in the Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Grantee is a director or executive officer of the Company (within
the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), Grantee will
not be eligible for such a loan to cover the Tax-Related Items. In the event that Xxxxxxx is a
director or executive officer and the Tax-Related Items are not collected from or paid by Grantee
by the Due Date, the amount of any uncollected Tax-Related Items will constitute a benefit to
Grantee on which additional income tax and National Insurance Contributions (“NICs”) (including the
Employer NICs, as defined below) will be payable. Grantee will be responsible for reporting and
paying any income tax and NICs (including the Employer NICs, as defined below) due on this
additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime.
Data Privacy Notice and Consent. Xxxxxxx acknowledges and agrees, further to the consent to the
transfer of Personal Data contained in the Agreement, that Personal Data may be transferred to
third parties outside of the European Economic Area in the course of the implementation,
administration and management of the Plan.
