Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
-2-
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify
directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including
attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified
actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than
an action by or in the right of the corporation a derivative action), if they acted in good faith
and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceedings, had no reasonable cause to
believe their conduct was unlawful.
A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that
indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, and the statute requires
court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has
been found liable to the corporation unless the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which
such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper. The statute
provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporations
certificate of incorporation, bylaws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or
otherwise.
The Registrants Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director
shall not be liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent that such exemption from liability or limitation
thereof is not permitted under applicable law. The Registrants Amended and Restated Bylaws
provide that the Registrant shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, a director or officer of the Registrant against all liability and loss suffered and
expenses (including attorneys fees) reasonably incurred by those persons in connection with any
action, suit or proceeding in which they were, are, or threatened to be involved by virtue of their
service as a director or officer of the Registrant or their service at the request of the
Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of, or in any other capacity with respect to,
another corporation or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other entity or enterprise. However,
with limited exceptions, the Registrant will indemnify such director or officer seeking
indemnification in connection with an action, suit or proceeding initiated by such director or
officer only if the action, suit or proceeding was authorized by the board of directors of the
Registrant. In addition, the Registrants Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that the Registrant
will pay, in advance of the disposition of any action, suit or proceeding, any reasonable expenses
incurred by such a director or officer subject to such person agreeing to repay any such amounts if
it is judicially determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses.
The indemnification provided by the Amended and Restated Bylaws are not exclusive of any other
rights such persons may have under any bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise.
The Registrant maintains insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such
capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Registrant would have the power
to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of the Registrants Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
See the Exhibit Index which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
-3-
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post effective
amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective
date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in
the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and
any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be
reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)
if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20
percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation
of Registration Fee table in the effective registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;
Provided however, that paragraphs (i) and (ii) above do not apply if the information required
to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports
filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act
to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant
undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this
registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the
purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following
communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered
to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the
offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the
undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing
material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of
the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned
registrant to the purchaser.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrants annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plans annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
-4-
the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.
-5-
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it
has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8, and
has duly caused this registration statement on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration
Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized in the City of
Morrisville, the state of North Carolina, on December 7, 2009.

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-8
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for Harris Stratex Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
Company), in connection with the preparation of the Companys Registration Statement on Form S-8
proposed to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about December 7, 2009 (the
Registration Statement).
The Registration Statement covers the registration of 6,250,000 shares of common stock, par
value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the Shares), of which 5,400,000 shares are issuable by the
Company upon exercise of options and other awards for the purchase of common stock to be granted
under the Companys 2007 Stock Equity Plan (As Amended and Restated Effective November 19, 2009)
and 850,000 shares are issuable by the Company pursuant to the Companys 2010 Employee Stock
Purchase Plan (collectively, the Plans).
We have reviewed the corporate proceedings of the Company with respect to the authorization of
the Plans. We have reviewed copies of each of the Plans as currently in effect. We have also
examined and relied upon such agreements, instruments, corporate records, certificates, and other
documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions hereinafter
expressed. In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the conformity to
the originals of all documents reviewed by us as copies, the authenticity and completeness of all
original documents reviewed by us in original or copy form, and the legal competence of each
individual executing any document.
We further assume, without investigation, that all Shares issued pursuant to the Plans will be
issued in accordance with the terms of the Plans and that the purchase price of each of the Shares
will be at least equal to the par value of such Shares.
This opinion is limited solely to the Delaware General Corporation Law as applied by courts
located in Delaware, the applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and the reported
judicial decisions interpreting those laws.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares, when issued and
delivered upon the exercise of options or awards granted pursuant to and in accordance with the Plans
and against the consideration therefor, as specified in such Plans or documents governing such
awards, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, provided, however, that the value
of such consideration, whether consisting of cash, any tangible or intangible property or any
benefit to the corporation, or any combination thereof, as determined by the board of directors of
the Company from time to time, is at least equal to the par value of the Shares.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement.
In giving this consent, however, we do not thereby admit that we are an expert within the meaning
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Very truly yours,
/s/ BINGHAM MCCUTCHEN LLP

Award, and fully understands all provisions of the Notice, the Plan, the Specific Terms and
Condition, these General Terms and Conditions and the Prospectus. The Grantee hereby agrees that
all questions of interpretation and administration relating to the Notice, the Plan, the Specific
Terms and Condition and these General Terms and Conditions shall be resolved by the Administrator
in accordance with Section 12 of these General Terms and Conditions. The Grantee further agrees to
the venue selection in accordance with Section 13 of these General Terms and Conditions. The
Grantee further agrees to notify the Company upon any change in his or her residence address.
1. Exercise of Option.
(a) Right to Exercise. The Option shall be exercisable during its term in accordance
with the vesting schedule set out in the Notice and with the applicable provisions of the Plan, the
Specific Terms and Conditions and these General Terms and Conditions. The Grantee shall be subject
to reasonable limitations on the number of requested exercises during any monthly or weekly period
as determined by the Administrator. In no event shall the Company issue fractional Shares.
(b) Method of Exercise. The Option shall be exercisable by delivery of an exercise
notice or by such other procedure as specified from time to time by the Administrator which shall
state the election to exercise the Option, the whole number of Shares in respect of which the
Option is being exercised, and such other provisions as may be required by the Administrator. The
exercise notice shall be delivered in person, by certified mail, or by such other method (including
electronic transmission) as determined from time to time by the Administrator to the Company
accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price. The Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon
receipt by the Company of such notice accompanied by the Exercise Price, which, to the extent
selected, shall be deemed to be satisfied by use of the broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure
to pay the Exercise Price provided in Section 2(d), below.
(c) Taxes. No Shares will be delivered to the Grantee or other person pursuant to the
exercise of the Option until the Grantee or other person has made arrangements acceptable to the
Administrator for the satisfaction of applicable income tax and employment tax withholding
obligations, including, without limitation, such other tax obligations of the Grantee incident to
the receipt of Shares. Upon exercise of the Option, the Company or the Grantees employer may
offset or withhold (from any amount owed by the Company or the Grantees employer to the Grantee)
or collect from the Grantee or other person an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax withholding
obligations.
2. Method of Payment. Payment of the Exercise Price shall be made by any of the
following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Grantee; provided, however, that such
exercise method does not then violate any Applicable Law and, provided further, that the portion of
the Exercise Price equal to the par value of the Shares must be paid in cash or other legal
consideration permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law:
(a) cash;
(b) check;
(c) surrender of Shares or delivery of a properly executed form of attestation of ownership of
Shares as the Administrator may require which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender or
attestation equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares as to which the Option is being
exercised, provided, however, that Shares acquired under the Plan or any other equity compensation
plan or agreement of the Company must have been held by the Grantee for a period of more than six
(6) months (and not used for another Award exercise by attestation during such period); or
(d) payment through a broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the
Grantee (i) shall provide written instructions to a Company-designated brokerage firm or, in the
case of officers within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (as so amended, the 34 Act), a brokerage firm selected by Grantee, to effect the
immediate sale of some or all of the purchased Shares and remit to the Company sufficient funds to
cover the aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased Shares and (ii) shall provide written
directives to the Company to deliver the certificates for the purchased Shares directly to such
brokerage firm in order to complete the sale transaction.
2
3. Restrictions on Exercise. The Option may not be exercised if the issuance of the
Shares subject to the Option upon such exercise would constitute a violation of any Applicable Laws
or result in Grantees liability under Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act . If the exercise of the
Option within the applicable time periods set forth in Sections 4, 5 and 6 of these General Terms
and Conditions is prevented by the provisions of this Section 3, the Option shall remain
exercisable until one (1) month after the date the Grantee is notified by the Company that the
Option is exercisable, but in any event no later than the Expiration Date set forth in the Notice.
4. Termination or Change of Continuous Service. In the event the Grantees Continuous
Service terminates, other than for Cause, the Grantee may, but only during the Post-Termination
Exercise Period, exercise the portion of the Option that was vested at the date of such termination
(the Termination Date). The Post-Termination Exercise Period shall commence on the Termination
Date. In the event of termination of the Grantees Continuous Service for Cause, the Grantees
right to exercise the Option shall, except as otherwise determined by the Administrator, terminate
concurrently with the termination of the Grantees Continuous Service (also the Termination
Date). In no event, however, shall the Option be exercised later than the Expiration Date set
forth in the Notice. In the event of the Grantees change in status from Employee, Director or
Consultant to any other status of Employee, Director or Consultant, the Option shall remain in
effect and the Option shall continue to vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in
the Notice. Except as provided in Sections 5 and 6 below, to the extent that the Option was
unvested on the Termination Date, or if the Grantee does not exercise the vested portion of the
Option within the Post-Termination Exercise Period, the Option shall terminate.
5. Disability or Retirement of Grantee. In the event the Grantees Continuous Service
terminates as a result of his or her Disability or Retirement, the Grantee may, but only within
twelve (12) months commencing on the Termination Date (but in no event later than the Expiration
Date), exercise the portion of the Option that was vested on the Termination Date. To the extent
that the Option was unvested on the Termination Date, or if the Grantee does not exercise the
vested portion of the Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.
6. Death of Grantee. In the event of the termination of the Grantees Continuous
Service as a result of his or her death, or in the event of the Grantees death during the
Post-Termination Exercise Period or during the twelve (12) month period following the Grantees
termination of Continuous Service as a result of his or her Disability or Retirement, the person
who acquired the right to exercise the Option pursuant to Section 7 may exercise the portion of the
Option that was vested at the date of termination within twelve (12) months commencing on the date
of death (but in no event later than the Expiration Date). To the extent that the Option was
unvested on the date of death, or if the vested portion of the Option is not exercised within the
time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.
7. Transferability of Option. The Option may not be transferred in any manner other
than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, provided, however, that the Option may be
transferred during the lifetime of the Grantee to the extent and in the manner authorized by the
Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee may designate one or more beneficiaries
of the Grantees Option in the event of the Grantees death on a beneficiary
3
designation form provided by the Administrator. Following the death of the Grantee, the
Option, to the extent provided in Section 6, may be exercised (a) by the person or persons
designated under the deceased Grantees beneficiary designation or (b) in the absence of an
effectively designated beneficiary, by the Grantees legal representative or by any person
empowered to do so under the deceased Grantees will or under the then applicable laws of descent
and distribution. The terms of the Option shall be binding upon the executors, administrators,
heirs, successors and transferees of the Grantee.
8. Term of Option. The Option must be exercised no later than the Expiration Date set
forth in the Notice or such earlier date as otherwise provided herein. After the Expiration Date
or such earlier date, the Option shall be of no further force or effect and may not be exercised.
9. Tax Consequences. The Grantee may incur tax liability as a result of the Grantees
purchase or disposition of the Shares. THE GRANTEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING
THE OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.
10. Entire Agreement: Governing Law. The Notice, the Plan and these General Terms and
Conditions constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof
and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the
Grantee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the
Grantees interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and the Grantee. Nothing in
the Notice, the Plan and these General Terms and Conditions (except as expressly provided therein)
is intended to confer any rights or remedies on any persons other than the parties. The Notice,
the Plan and these General Terms and Conditions are to be construed in accordance with and governed

would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the

Plan or these General Terms and Conditions be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, such
provision shall be enforced to the fullest extent allowed by law and the other provisions shall
nevertheless remain effective and shall remain enforceable.
11. Construction. The captions used in the Notice and these General Terms and
Conditions are inserted for convenience and shall not be deemed a part of the Option for

question or dispute by the Administrator shall be final and binding on all persons.
13. Venue. The Company, the Grantee, and the Grantees assignees pursuant to
Section 7 (the parties) agree that any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to
the Notice, the Plan or these General Terms and Conditions shall be brought in the United States
4

jurisdiction to hear such action, suit or proceeding, in a North Carolina state court in Wake
County) or (at the Grantees or such assignees election) the United States District Court for the
Northern District of California (or should such court lack jurisdiction to hear such action, suit
or proceeding, in a California state court in Santa Clara County) and that the parties shall submit
to the jurisdiction of such court. The parties irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, any objection the party may have to the laying of venue for any such suit, action or
proceeding brought in such court. If any one or more provisions of this Section 13 shall for any
reason be held invalid or unenforceable, it is the specific intent of the parties that such
provisions shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it or its application valid
and enforceable.
14. Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and
shall be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery, upon deposit for delivery by an
internationally recognized express mail courier service or upon deposit in the United States mail

General Terms and Conditions
Restricted Stock Awards
THE GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE SHARES SUBJECT TO THIS AWARD SHALL VEST, IF AT ALL,
ONLY DURING THE PERIOD OF THE GRANTEES CONTINUOUS SERVICE (NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED,
BEING GRANTED THIS AWARD OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER). THE GRANTEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND
AGREES THAT NOTHING IN THE NOTICE OF AWARD, THE SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS, THESE GENERAL TERMS
AND CONDITIONS OR THE PLAN SHALL CONFER UPON THE GRANTEE ANY RIGHT WITH RESPECT TO FUTURE AWARDS OR
CONTINUATION OF THE GRANTEES CONTINUOUS SERVICE, NOR SHALL IT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH THE
GRANTEES RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY OR RELATED ENTITY TO WHICH THE GRANTEE PROVIDES
SERVICES TO TERMINATE THE GRANTEES CONTINUOUS SERVICE AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE, AND WITH
OR WITHOUT NOTICE. THE GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT UNLESS THE GRANTEE HAS A WRITTEN EMPLOYMENT
AGREEMENT WITH THE COMPANY TO THE CONTRARY, THE GRANTEES STATUS IS AT WILL.
The Grantee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and the Specific Terms and Conditions,
these General Terms and Conditions and the Prospectus, and represents that he or she is familiar
with the terms and provisions thereof, and hereby accepts the Award subject to all of the terms and
provisions hereof and thereof. The Grantee has reviewed the notice of award (the Notice), the
Plan, the Specific Terms and Conditions, these General Terms and Conditions and the Prospectus in
their entirety, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to accepting this
Award, and fully understands all provisions of the Notice, the Plan, the Specific Terms and
Conditions, these General Terms and Conditions and the Prospectus. The Grantee hereby agrees that
all questions of interpretation and administration relating to the Notice, the Plan, the Specific
Terms and Conditions and these General Terms and Conditions shall be resolved by the Administrator
in accordance with Section 11 of these General Terms and Conditions. The Grantee further agrees to
the venue selection in accordance with Section 12 of these General Terms and Conditions. The
Grantee further agrees to notify the Company upon any change in his or her residence address.
1. Issuance of Shares of Restricted Stock.
The restricted Shares issued to the Grantee shall be subject to the Notice, the Specific Terms
and Conditions, these General Terms and Conditions, the Prospectus and the Plan, as amended from
time to time, which are incorporated herein by reference. All restricted Shares issued to the
Grantee shall be deemed issued to the Grantee as fully paid and non-assessable shares, and the
Grantee shall have the right to vote the restricted Shares at meetings of the Companys
stockholders. The Company shall pay any applicable stock transfer taxes imposed upon the issuance
of the restricted Shares to the Grantee hereunder.
2. Transfer Restrictions. The restricted Shares issued to the Grantee may not be
sold, transferred by gift, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise transferred or disposed of by the
Grantee prior to the date when the restricted Shares become vested pursuant to the vesting schedule
set forth in the Specific Terms and Conditions. Any attempt to transfer restricted Shares in
violation of this Section 2 shall be null and void and shall be disregarded.
3. Escrow of Shares. The Grantee agrees, immediately upon receipt of the
certificate(s) for the restricted Shares, to deliver such certificate(s), together with an
Assignment Separate from Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, executed in
blank by the Grantee with respect to each such stock certificate, to the Secretary or Assistant
Secretary of the Company, or their designee, to hold in escrow for so long as such restricted
Shares have not vested pursuant to the vesting schedule set forth in the Specific Terms and
Conditions, with the authority to take all such actions and to effectuate all such transfers and/or
releases as may be necessary or appropriate to accomplish the objectives of these General Terms and
Conditions in accordance with the terms hereof. The Grantee hereby acknowledges that the
appointment of the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company (or their designee) as the
escrow holder hereunder with the stated authorities is a material inducement to the Company to
issue the Award and that such appointment is coupled with an interest and is accordingly
irrevocable. The Grantee agrees that such escrow holder shall not be liable to the parties (or to
any other party) for any actions or omissions unless such escrow holder is grossly negligent
relative thereto. The escrow holder may rely upon any letter, notice or other document executed by
any signature purported to be genuine and may resign at any time. Upon the vesting of restricted
Shares, the escrow holder will, without further order or instruction, transmit to the Grantee the
certificate evidencing such shares.
4. Additional Securities and Distribution.
(a) Any securities or cash received (other than a regular cash dividend) as the result of
ownership of the restricted Shares (the Additional Securities), including, but not by way of
limitation, warrants, options and securities received as a stock dividend or stock split, or as a
result of a recapitalization or reorganization or other similar change in the Companys capital
structure, shall be retained in escrow in the same manner and subject to the same conditions and
restrictions as the restricted Shares with respect to which they were issued, including, without
limitation, the vesting schedule set forth in the Specific Terms and Conditions. The Grantee shall
be entitled to direct the Company to exercise any warrant or option received as Additional
Securities upon supplying the funds necessary to do so, in which event the securities so purchased
shall constitute Additional Securities, but the Grantee may not direct the Company to sell any such
warrant or option. If Additional Securities consist of a convertible security, the Grantee may
exercise any conversion right, and any securities so acquired shall constitute Additional
Securities. In the event of any change in certificates evidencing the restricted Shares or the
Additional Securities by reason of any recapitalization, reorganization or other transaction that
results in the creation of Additional Securities, the escrow holder is authorized to deliver to the
issuer the certificates evidencing the restricted Shares or the Additional Securities in exchange
for the certificates of the replacement securities.
2
(b) The Company shall disburse to the Grantee all regular cash dividends with respect to the
restricted Shares and Additional Securities (whether vested or not), less any applicable
withholding obligations.
5. Taxes.
(a) Section 83(b) Election. If the Grantee makes a timely election pursuant to
Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code) or similar provision of
state law (collectively, an 83(b) Election), the Grantee shall immediately pay the Company the
amount necessary to satisfy any applicable United States federal, state, local or non-U.S. income
and employment tax withholding obligations. In the event the Grantee determines to make an 83(b)
Election, the Grantee hereby represents that he or she understands (a) the contents and
requirements of the 83(b) Election, (b) the application of Section 83(b) of the Code to the receipt
of the restricted Shares by the Grantee pursuant to the Notice, the Plan and these General Terms
and Conditions, (c) the nature of the election to be made by the Grantee under Section 83(b) of the
Code, (d) the effect and requirements of the 83(b) Election under relevant state and local tax
laws, (e) that the 83(b) Election must be filed with the Internal Revenue Service within thirty
(30) days following the date of the issuance of the Award, and (f) that the Grantee must submit a
copy of such election to the Company and with his or her federal tax return for the calendar year
in which the date of the issuance of the Award falls.
(b) Tax Liability. The Grantee is ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes
owed by the Grantee in connection with the Award, regardless of any action the Company or any
Related Entity takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with
the Award. Neither the Company nor any Related Entity makes any representation or undertaking
regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the grant or vesting of the Award
or the subsequent sale of Shares subject to the Award. The Company and its Related Entities do not
commit and are under no obligation to structure the Award to reduce or eliminate the Grantees tax
liability.
(c) Payment of Withholding Taxes. Prior to any event in connection with the Award
(e.g., vesting) that the Company determines may result in any tax withholding obligation, whether
United States federal, state, local or non-U.S., including any employment tax obligation (the Tax
Withholding Obligation), the Grantee must arrange for the satisfaction of the minimum amount of
such Tax Withholding Obligation in a manner acceptable to the Company.
(i) By Sale of Shares. Unless the Grantee determines to satisfy the Tax Withholding
Obligation by some other means in accordance with clause (ii) below, the Grantees acceptance of
this Award constitutes the Grantees instruction and authorization to the Company and any brokerage
firm determined acceptable to the Company for such purpose to sell on the Grantees behalf a whole
number of Shares from those Shares issuable to the Grantee as the Company determines to be
appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy the minimum applicable Tax Withholding
Obligation. Such Shares will be sold on the day such Tax Withholding Obligation arises (e.g., a
vesting date) or as soon thereafter as practicable. The Grantee will be responsible for all
brokers fees and other costs of sale, and the Grantee agrees to indemnify and hold the Company
harmless from any losses, costs, damages, or expenses relating to any such sale. To the extent the
proceeds of such sale exceed the Grantees minimum Tax
3
Withholding Obligation, the Company agrees to pay such excess in cash to the Grantee. The
Grantee acknowledges that the Company or its designee is under no obligation to arrange for such
sale at any particular price, and that the proceeds of any such sale may not be sufficient to
satisfy the Grantees minimum Tax Withholding Obligation. Accordingly, the Grantee agrees to pay
to the Company or any Related Entity as soon as practicable, including through additional payroll
withholding, any amount of the Tax Withholding Obligation that is not satisfied by the sale of
Shares described above.
(ii) By Check, Wire Transfer or Other Means. At any time not less than two (2) business days
(or such fewer number of business days as determined by the Administrator) before any Tax
Withholding Obligation arises (e.g., a vesting date), the Grantee may elect to satisfy the
Grantees Tax Withholding Obligation by delivering to the Company an amount that the Company
determines is sufficient to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation by (x) wire transfer to such
account as the Company may direct, (y) delivery of a certified check payable to the Company, or
(z) such other means as specified from time to time by the Administrator, including, but not
limited to, by withholding from those Shares issuable to the Grantee the whole number of Shares
sufficient to satisfy the minimum applicable Tax Withholding Obligation.
6. Stop-Transfer Notices. In order to ensure compliance with the restrictions on
transfer set forth in these General Terms and Conditions, the Notice or the Plan, the Company may
issue appropriate stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and, if the Company
transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own
records.
7. Refusal to Transfer. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its
books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions
of these General Terms and Conditions or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the
right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares shall have
been so transferred.
8. Restrictive Legends. The Grantee understands and agrees that the Company shall
cause the legends set forth below or legends substantially equivalent thereto, to be placed upon
any certificate(s) evidencing ownership of the Shares together with any other legends that may be
required by the Company or by state or federal securities laws:
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE RESTRICTED BY THE
TERMS OF THOSE CERTAIN GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS GOVERNING THE
ISSUANCE OF THE AWARD OF RESTRICTED STOCK BY THE COMPANY TO THE
NAMED STOCKHOLDERS. THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY
BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH GENERAL TERMS AND
CONDITIONS, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE
COMPANY.

9. Entire Agreement: Governing Law. The Notice, the Plan the Specific Terms and
Conditions and these General Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement of the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings
and agreements of the Company and the Grantee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may
not be modified adversely to the Grantees interest except by means of a writing signed by the
Company and the Grantee. Nothing in the Notice, the Plan, the Specific Terms and Conditions and
these General Terms and Conditions (except as expressly provided therein) is intended to confer any
rights or remedies on any persons other than the parties. The Notice, the Plan, the Specific Terms
and Conditions and these General Terms and Conditions are to be construed in accordance with and
governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice of law
rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws
of the State of Delaware to the rights and duties of the parties. Should any provision of the
Notice, the Plan, the Specific Terms and Conditions or these General Terms and Conditions be
determined to be illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be enforced to the fullest extent
allowed by law and the other provisions shall nevertheless remain effective and shall remain
enforceable.
10. Construction. The captions used in the Notice and these General Terms and
Conditions are inserted for convenience and shall not be deemed a part of the Award for
construction or interpretation. Except when otherwise indicated by the context, the singular shall
include the plural and the plural shall include the singular. Use of the term or is not intended
to be exclusive, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.
11. Administration and Interpretation. Any question or dispute regarding the
administration or interpretation of the Notice, the Plan, the Specific Terms and Conditions or
these General Terms and Conditions shall be submitted by the Grantee or by the Company to the
Administrator. The resolution of such question or dispute by the Administrator shall be final and
binding on all persons.
12. Venue. The Company and the Grantee (the parties) agree that any suit, action,
or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Notice, the Plan, the Specific Terms and Conditions
or these General Terms and Conditions shall be brought in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of North Carolina (or should such court lack jurisdiction to hear such action,
suit or proceeding, in a North Carolina state court in Wake County) or (at the Grantees or such
assignees election) the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (or

General Terms and Conditions
Performance Share Awards
THE GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE SHARES SUBJECT TO THIS AWARD SHALL VEST, IF AT ALL,
ONLY DURING THE PERIOD OF THE GRANTEES CONTINUOUS SERVICE (NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED,
BEING GRANTED THIS AWARD OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER) AND UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF SUCH OTHER
EVENTS DESCRIBED IN THE SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS. THE GRANTEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES
THAT NOTHING IN THE NOTICE OF AWARD, THE SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS, THESE GENERAL TERMS AND
CONDITIONS OR THE PLAN SHALL CONFER UPON THE GRANTEE ANY RIGHT WITH RESPECT TO FUTURE AWARDS OR
CONTINUATION OF THE GRANTEES CONTINUOUS SERVICE, NOR SHALL IT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH THE
GRANTEES RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY OR RELATED ENTITY TO WHICH THE GRANTEE PROVIDES
SERVICES TO TERMINATE THE GRANTEES CONTINUOUS SERVICE AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE, AND WITH
OR WITHOUT NOTICE. THE GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT UNLESS THE GRANTEE HAS A WRITTEN EMPLOYMENT
AGREEMENT WITH THE COMPANY TO THE CONTRARY, THE GRANTEES STATUS IS AT WILL.
The Grantee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and the Specific Terms and Conditions,
these General Terms and Conditions and the Prospectus, and represents that he or she is familiar
with the terms and provisions thereof, and hereby accepts the Award subject to all of the terms and
provisions hereof and thereof. The Grantee has reviewed the notice of award (the Notice), the
Plan, the Specific Terms and Conditions, these General Terms and Conditions and the Prospectus in
their entirety, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to accepting this
Award, and fully understands all provisions of the Notice, the Plan, the Specific Terms and
Conditions, these General Terms and Conditions and the Prospectus. The Grantee hereby agrees that
all questions of interpretation and administration relating to the Notice, the Plan, the Specific
Terms and Conditions and these General Terms and Conditions shall be resolved by the Administrator
in accordance with Section 11 of these General Terms and Conditions. The Grantee further agrees to
the venue selection in accordance with Section 12 of these General Terms and Conditions. The
Grantee further agrees to notify the Company upon any change in his or her residence address.
1. Issuance of Performance Shares. The performance Shares issued to the Grantee shall
be subject to the Notice, the Specific Terms and Conditions, these General Terms and Conditions,
the Prospectus and the Plan, as amended from time to time, which are incorporated herein by
reference. All performance Shares issued to the Grantee shall be deemed issued to the Grantee as
fully paid and non-assessable shares, and the Grantee shall have the right to vote the performance
Shares at meetings of the Companys stockholders. The Company shall pay any
applicable stock transfer taxes imposed upon the issuance of the performance Shares to the
Grantee hereunder.
2. Transfer Restrictions. The performance Shares issued to the Grantee may not be
sold, transferred by gift, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise transferred or disposed of by the
Grantee prior to the date when the performance Shares become vested pursuant to the vesting
schedule and satisfaction of the performance goals set forth in the Specific Terms and Conditions.
The determination of whether such performance goals have been achieved and, if applicable, the
degree of achievement, shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion. Any attempt to
transfer performance Shares in violation of this Section 2 shall be null and void and shall be
disregarded.
3. Escrow of Shares. The Grantee agrees, immediately upon receipt of the
certificate(s) for the performance Shares, to deliver such certificate(s), together with an
Assignment Separate from Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, executed in
blank by the Grantee with respect to each such stock certificate, to the Secretary or Assistant
Secretary of the Company, or their designee, to hold in escrow for so long as such performance
Shares have not vested pursuant to the vesting schedule and satisfaction of the performance goals
set forth in the Specific Terms and Conditions, with the authority to take all such actions and to
effectuate all such transfers and/or releases as may be necessary or appropriate to accomplish the
objectives of these General Terms and Conditions in accordance with the terms hereof. The Grantee
hereby acknowledges that the appointment of the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company (or
their designee) as the escrow holder hereunder with the stated authorities is a material inducement
to the Company to issue the Award and that such appointment is coupled with an interest and is
accordingly irrevocable. The Grantee agrees that such escrow holder shall not be liable to the
parties (or to any other party) for any actions or omissions unless such escrow holder is grossly
negligent relative thereto. The escrow holder may rely upon any letter, notice or other document
executed by any signature purported to be genuine and may resign at any time. Upon the vesting of
performance Shares, the escrow holder will, without further order or instruction, transmit to the
Grantee the certificate evidencing such shares.
4. Additional Securities and Distribution.
(a) Any securities or cash received (other than a regular cash dividend) as the result of
ownership of the performance Shares (the Additional Securities), including, but not by way of
limitation, warrants, options and securities received as a stock dividend or stock split, or as a
result of a recapitalization or reorganization or other similar change in the Companys capital
structure, shall be retained in escrow in the same manner and subject to the same conditions and
restrictions as the performance Shares with respect to which they were issued, including, without
limitation, the vesting schedule and performance goals set forth in the Specific Terms and
Conditions. The Grantee shall be entitled to direct the Company to exercise any warrant or option
received as Additional Securities upon supplying the funds necessary to do so, in which event the
securities so purchased shall constitute Additional Securities, but the Grantee may not direct the
Company to sell any such warrant or option. If Additional Securities consist of a convertible
security, the Grantee may exercise any conversion right, and any securities so acquired shall
constitute Additional Securities. In the event of any change in certificates evidencing the
performance Shares or the Additional Securities by reason of any
2
recapitalization, reorganization or other transaction that results in the creation of
Additional Securities, the escrow holder is authorized to deliver to the issuer the certificates
evidencing the performance Shares or the Additional Securities in exchange for the certificates of
the replacement securities.
(b) The Company shall disburse to the Grantee all regular cash dividends with respect to the
performance Shares and Additional Securities (whether vested or not), less any applicable
withholding obligations.
5. Taxes.
(a) Section 83(b) Election. If the Grantee makes a timely election pursuant to
Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code) or similar provision of
state law (collectively, an 83(b) Election), the Grantee shall immediately pay the Company the
amount necessary to satisfy any applicable United States federal, state, local or non-U.S. income
and employment tax withholding obligations. In the event the Grantee determines to make an 83(b)
Election, the Grantee hereby represents that he or she understands (a) the contents and
requirements of the 83(b) Election, (b) the application of Section 83(b) of the Code to the receipt
of the performance Shares by the Grantee pursuant to the Notice, the Plan and these General Terms
and Conditions, (c) the nature of the election to be made by the Grantee under Section 83(b) of the
Code, (d) the effect and requirements of the 83(b) Election under relevant state and local tax
laws, (e) that the 83(b) Election must be filed with the Internal Revenue Service within thirty
(30) days following the date of the issuance of the Award, and (f) that the Grantee must submit a
copy of such election to the Company and with his or her federal tax return for the calendar year
in which the date of the issuance of the Award falls.
(b) Tax Liability. The Grantee is ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes
owed by the Grantee in connection with the Award, regardless of any action the Company or any
Related Entity takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with
the Award. Neither the Company nor any Related Entity makes any representation or undertaking
regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the grant or vesting of the Award
or the subsequent sale of Shares subject to the Award. The Company and its Related Entities do not
commit and are under no obligation to structure the Award to reduce or eliminate the Grantees tax
liability.
(c) Payment of Withholding Taxes. Prior to any event in connection with the Award
(e.g., satisfaction of vesting conditions, including satisfaction of the performance goals as
determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) that the Company determines may result in any
tax withholding obligation, whether United States federal, state, local or non-U.S., including any
employment tax obligation (the Tax Withholding Obligation), the Grantee must arrange for the
satisfaction of the minimum amount of such Tax Withholding Obligation in a manner acceptable to the
Company.
(i) By Sale of Shares. Unless the Grantee determines to satisfy the Tax Withholding
Obligation by some other means in accordance with clause (ii) below, the Grantees acceptance of
this Award constitutes the Grantees instruction and authorization to the Company and any brokerage
firm determined acceptable to the Company for such purpose to sell
3
on the Grantees behalf a whole number of Shares from those Shares issuable to the Grantee as
the Company determines to be appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy the
minimum applicable Tax Withholding Obligation. Such Shares will be sold on the day such Tax
Withholding Obligation arises (e.g., satisfaction of vesting conditions, including satisfaction of
the performance goals as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) or as soon thereafter
as practicable. The Grantee will be responsible for all brokers fees and other costs of sale, and
the Grantee agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any losses, costs, damages, or
expenses relating to any such sale. To the extent the proceeds of such sale exceed the Grantees
minimum Tax Withholding Obligation, the Company agrees to pay such excess in cash to the Grantee.
The Grantee acknowledges that the Company or its designee is under no obligation to arrange for
such sale at any particular price, and that the proceeds of any such sale may not be sufficient to
satisfy the Grantees minimum Tax Withholding Obligation. Accordingly, the Grantee agrees to pay
to the Company or any Related Entity as soon as practicable, including through additional payroll
withholding, any amount of the Tax Withholding Obligation that is not satisfied by the sale of
Shares described above.
(ii) By Check, Wire Transfer or Other Means. At any time not less than two (2) business days
(or such fewer number of business days as determined by the Administrator) before any Tax
Withholding Obligation arises (e.g., satisfaction of vesting conditions, including satisfaction of
the performance goals as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion), the Grantee may elect
to satisfy the Grantees Tax Withholding Obligation by delivering to the Company an amount that the
Company determines is sufficient to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation by (x) wire transfer to
such account as the Company may direct, (y) delivery of a certified check payable to the Company,
or (z) such other means as specified from time to time by the Administrator, including, but not
limited to, by withholding from those Shares issuable to the Grantee the whole number of Shares
sufficient to satisfy the minimum applicable Tax Withholding Obligation.
6. Stop-Transfer Notices. In order to ensure compliance with the restrictions on
transfer set forth in these General Terms and Conditions, the Notice or the Plan, the Company may
issue appropriate stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and, if the Company
transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own
records.
7. Refusal to Transfer. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its
books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions
of these General Terms and Conditions or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the
right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares shall have
been so transferred.
8. Restrictive Legends. The Grantee understands and agrees that the Company shall
cause the legends set forth below or legends substantially equivalent thereto, to be placed upon
any certificate(s) evidencing ownership of the Shares together with any other legends that may be
required by the Company or by state or federal securities laws:
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE RESTRICTED BY THE

9. Entire Agreement: Governing Law. The Notice, the Plan, the Specific Terms and
Conditions and these General Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement of the parties

Administrator. The resolution of such question or dispute by the Administrator shall be final and
binding on all persons.
12. Venue. The Company and the Grantee (the parties) agree that any suit, action,
or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Notice, the Plan, the Specific Terms and Conditions
or these General Terms and Conditions shall be brought in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of North Carolina (or should such court lack jurisdiction to hear such action,
suit or proceeding, in a North Carolina state court in Wake County) or (at the Grantees or such
assignees election) the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (or
should such court lack jurisdiction to hear such action, suit or proceeding, in a California state
court in Santa Clara County) and that the parties shall submit to the jurisdiction of such court.
The parties irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection the party may
have to the laying of venue for any such suit, action or proceeding
5
brought in such court. If any one or more provisions of this Section 12 shall for any reason
be held invalid or unenforceable, it is the specific intent of the parties that such provisions
shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it or its application valid and
enforceable.
13. Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and
shall be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery, upon deposit for delivery by an
internationally recognized express mail courier service or upon deposit in the United States mail
