This Restricted Stock Grant Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated as of

Corporation (the "Company") and _____________ (the "Award Recipient").
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Company has established and maintains the RadiSys Corporation
1995 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"); and
WHEREAS, the Award Recipient is an employee of the Company; and
WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant to the Award Recipient shares of
common stock, no par value, ("Common Stock") under the Plan, subject to certain
restrictions and limitations; and
WHEREAS, the Award Recipient desires to receive a grant of such shares of
Common Stock from the Company;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual agreements
contained herein, the adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the Company and the Award Recipient agree as follows:
1. Grant of Restricted Stock.
(a) Number of Shares/Vesting. The Company hereby grants to the Award
Recipient, on the Grant Date, ____ shares of Common Stock under the Plan subject
to the vesting schedule and terms and conditions set forth below (the
"Restricted Stock").

An additional ____
An additional ____
Restricted Stock granted under this Agreement shall vest in accordance with the
above schedule on the applicable dates listed in the table above (each a
"Vesting Date"), if on such Vesting Date the Award Recipient is still employed
by the Company or one of its subsidiaries. For avoidance of doubt, there shall
be no proportionate or partial vesting in the periods prior to each Vesting Date
and vesting shall occur only on the applicable Vesting Date pursuant to this
Section 1(a). Upon the Award Recipient's termination of employment with the
Company and its subsidiaries, the unvested portion of the Restricted Stock shall
be forfeited by the Award Recipient and cancelled by the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the Award Recipient's termination of
employment with the Company and its subsidiaries, the Board of Directors or the
Committee may, in its sole and complete discretion, provide for an acceleration
of vesting of the Restricted Stock granted under this Agreement.
(b) Additional Documents/Capitalized Terms. The Award Recipient agrees to
execute such additional documents and complete and execute such forms as the
Company may require for purposes of this Agreement. Any capitalized terms not
defined herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Plan document.
(c) Issuance of Restricted Stock; Dividend and Distribution Rights. Upon
the vesting of any Restricted Stock pursuant to the terms hereof, the
restrictions of Sections 1 and 2 shall lapse with respect to such vested
Restricted Stock. As soon as practicable following the vesting of any Restricted
Stock, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, cause to be delivered to the
Award Recipient a certificate evidencing such Common Stock (less any shares of
Common Stock withheld under Section 4 below) or shall cause its third-party
recordkeeper to credit an account established and maintained in the Award
Recipient's name with the number of shares of Common Stock which have vested
(less any shares of Common Stock withheld under Section 4 below). The Board of
Directors or the Committee may, in its sole discretion, require any dividends or
other distributions paid by the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock be
held in escrow until the Restricted Stock vests in accordance with Section 1 of
this Agreement.
2. Restrictions on Transfer. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Plan,
no unvested Restricted Stock shall be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred,
conveyed, gifted, delivered, encumbered, discounted, pledged, hypothecated, or
otherwise disposed of, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, or by operation of
law. Immediately upon any attempt to transfer such rights, such Restricted
Stock, and all of the rights related thereto, shall be forfeited by the Award
Recipient.
3. Notification of Election Under Section 83(b) of the Code. If the Award
Recipient shall, in connection with the grant of Restricted Stock under this
Agreement, make the election permitted under Section 83(b) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), (i.e., an election to include in
gross income in the year of transfer the amounts specified in Section 83(b) of
the Code), then the Award Recipient must make such an election using a form
provided by the Company. The election must be received by the Internal Revenue
Service within 30 calendar days following the Grant Date. The Award Recipient
shall also provide the Company with a copy of such election within 10 calendar
days of filing a notice of election with the Internal Revenue Service and shall,
at the same time as such notice of election is provided to the Company, remit to
the Company in cash an amount sufficient to satisfy any tax withholding
obligations.
4. Withholding. The Award Recipient shall be liable for any and all U.S.
federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with
respect to the vesting of Restricted Stock. When the Restricted Stock vests, the
Company may, in its discretion, permit or require the Award Recipient to satisfy
all or part of his or her tax withholding obligations by (a) paying cash to the
Company, (b) having the Company withhold an amount from any cash amounts
otherwise due or to become due from the Company to the Award Recipient, (c)
having the Company withhold a number of shares of Common Stock that would
otherwise become vested having a fair market value not in excess of the minimum
amount of tax withholding obligations required by law to be withheld with
respect to such vesting, or (d) any combination of the foregoing. The Award
Recipient may, by written notice to the Company at least 30 days before any
Vesting Date, request that the Company (i) accept a remittance of cash on such
Vesting Date in satisfaction of his or her tax withholding obligations, or (ii)
deduct the Award Recipient's tax withholding obligations from his or her regular
salary payroll cash on a payroll date following such Vesting Date, which request
the Company may in its sole discretion choose to honor. In the absence of such
proper and timely written notice from the Award Recipient, or in the sole
discretion of the Company, the Company shall satisfy the Award Recipient's tax
withholding obligations by withholding shares pursuant to and in accordance with
clause (c) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Award Recipient makes an
election under Section 3 above, the Award Recipient shall remit to the Company
in cash an amount sufficient to satisfy any tax withholding obligations at the
time the notice described in Section 3 is delivered to the Company.
5. Grant Subject to Plan Provisions. This grant of Restricted Stock is made
pursuant to the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference,
and in all respects will be interpreted in accordance with the Plan. The Board
of Directors (or the Committee) has the authority to interpret and construe this
Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Plan, and its decisions are conclusive as
to any questions arising hereunder. In the event of any conflict between the
terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall
control.
6. No Employment or Other Rights. This grant of Restricted Stock does not confer
upon the Award Recipient any right to be continued in the employment of the
Company or any subsidiary or interfere in any way with the right of the Company
or any subsidiary to terminate such Award Recipient's employment at any time,
for any reason, with or without cause, or to decrease such Award Recipient's
compensation or benefits.

7. Rights as a Shareholder. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the
Award Recipient shall have all rights of a shareholder with respect to the
Restricted Stock granted under this Agreement.
8. Applicable Law. The validity, construction, interpretation and effect of this
instrument will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Oregon, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws provisions
thereof.
9. Notice. Any notice to the Company or the Board of Directors (or the
Committee) provided for in this Agreement shall be addressed to RadiSys
Corporation at its principal business address in care of the Secretary of the
Company, and any notice to the Award Recipient will be addressed to the Award
Recipient at the current address shown on the books and records of the Company
or its subsidiary. Any notice shall be sent by registered or certified mail.
10. Discretionary Nature of Plan. The Plan is discretionary in nature, and the
Company may suspend, modify, amend or terminate the Plan in its sole discretion
at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable limitations
imposed by law. This Restricted Stock grant under the Plan is a one-time benefit
and does not create any contractual or other right to receive additional
Restricted Stock or other benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock in the future.
Future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors
or the Committee, including, but not limited to, the timing of any grant, the
number of Restricted Stock granted, and the vesting provisions.
11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan contain the entire agreement
between the Award Recipient and the Company regarding the grant of Restricted
Stock and supersede all prior arrangements or understandings with respect
thereto.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed
by its duly authorized representative and the Award Recipient has executed this
Agreement effective as of the Grant Date.
