APPENDIX A - TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT

1. Grant. The Company hereby grants to the Director under the Plan the number of Restricted Stock Units indicated on the first page of this Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan. When Shares are paid to the Director in payment for the Restricted Stock Units, par value will be deemed paid by the Director for each Restricted Stock Unit by past services rendered by the Director and will be subject to the appropriate tax withholdings.

2. Company’s Obligation to Pay. On any date, a Restricted Stock Unit has a value equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share. Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units have vested in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth on the first page of this Agreement, the Director will have no right to payment of the Restricted Stock Units. Prior to actual payment of any vested Restricted Stock Units, Restricted Stock Units represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company.

3. Vesting Schedule. Except as provided in paragraph 4, and subject to paragraph 5, the Restricted Stock Units subject to this grant will vest as to the number of Restricted Stock Units, and on the dates shown, on the first page of this Agreement, but in each case, only if the Director remains a member of the Company’s Board of Directors through the applicable vesting date(s).

4. Committee Discretion. The Committee, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of all or a portion of the Restricted Stock Units at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. If so accelerated, such Restricted Stock Units will be considered as having been earned (vested) as of the date specified by the Committee. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, if the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Restricted Stock Units is accelerated in connection with the Director’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A, other than due to death, and if (x) the Director is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of such interruption and (y) the payment of such accelerated Restricted Stock Units will result in the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A if paid to the Director on or within the six (6) month period following the Director’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A), as determined by the Company, then the payment of such accelerated Restricted Stock Units will not be made until the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of such separation, unless the Director dies during such six (6) month period, in which case, the Restricted Stock Units will be paid to the Director’s estate as soon as practicable following his or her death, subject to paragraph 8. It is the intent of this Agreement to comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the Restricted Stock Units provided under this Agreement or Shares issuable thereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply. For purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A” means Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and any proposed, temporary or final Treasury Regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance thereunder, as each may be amended from time to time.

5. Forfeiture. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the balance of the Restricted Stock Units that have not vested pursuant to paragraphs 3 or 4 will be forfeited and cancelled automatically on the first to occur of (a) the date the Director is no longer a member of the Company’s Board of Directors or (b) the Termination Date set forth on first page of this Agreement.

6. Payment after Vesting. Subject to paragraph 4, Restricted Stock Units that vest will be paid to the Director (or in the event of the Director’s death, to his or her estate) in Shares as soon as practicable following the date of vesting, but in each such case no later than the date that is two-and-one-half months from the end of the Company’s tax year that includes the vesting date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and if permitted by the Committee, the Director may elect to defer the payout of vested Restricted Stock Units by properly completing and submitting a Restricted Stock Unit Deferral Election to the Company in accordance with the directions on the Election form and such rules and procedures as shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, which rules and procedures shall comply with the requirements of Section 409A, unless otherwise expressly determined by the Committee.

7. Death of the Director. Any distribution or delivery to be made to the Director under this Agreement will, if the Director is then deceased, be made to the administrator or executor of the Director’s estate. Any such transferee must furnish the Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer.

8. Withholding of Taxes. The Company may withhold a portion of the payment due with respect to vested Restricted Stock Units that has an aggregate market value sufficient to pay the federal, state and local income, employment and any other applicable taxes required to be withheld by the Company. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no payment will be made to the Director (or his or her estate) for Restricted Stock Units unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Committee) have been made by the Director with respect to the payment of any income and other taxes that the Company determines must be withheld or collected with respect to the Director’s vested Restricted Stock Units. In addition, the Director agrees that the Company may withhold from amounts otherwise due to the Director, including compensation payable to the Director, to the extent necessary to satisfy any withholding obligation that may arise with respect to the Restricted Stock Units prior to payment of vested Restricted Stock Units. All income and other taxes related to this award of Restricted Stock Units and any Shares delivered in payment thereof are the sole responsibility of the Director. By accepting this award, the Director expressly consents to the withholding of Shares and to any additional cash withholding as provided for in this Paragraph 8.

9. Rights as Stockholder. Neither the Director nor any person claiming under or through the Director will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to the Director. Except as provided in paragraph 11, after such issuance, recordation, and delivery, the Director will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to voting such Shares and receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares.

10. No Effect on Service. The terms of the Director’s service with the Company, whether as a member of the Board of Directors or otherwise, will be determined from time to time by the Company, and the Company will have the right, which is hereby expressly reserved, to terminate or change the terms of the service of the Director at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without good cause. The transactions contemplated hereunder and the vesting schedule set forth on the first page of this Agreement do not constitute an express or implied promise of continued service as a member of the Board of Directors for any period of time.

11. Changes in Shares. In the event that as a result of a stock dividend, stock split, reclassification, recapitalization, combination of Shares or the adjustment in capital stock of the Company or otherwise, or as a result of a merger, consolidation, spin-off or other reorganization, the Restricted Stock Units will be increased, reduced or otherwise changed, and by virtue of any such change the Director will in his capacity as owner of unvested Restricted Stock Units which have been awarded to him (the “Prior Units”) be entitled to new or additional or different restricted stock units, cash, or securities (other than rights or warrants to purchase securities), such new or additional or different restricted stock units, cash, or securities will thereupon be considered to be unvested Restricted Stock Units and will be subject to all of the conditions and restrictions which were applicable to the Prior Units pursuant to this Agreement and the Plan. If the Director receives rights or warrants with respect to any Prior Units, such rights or warrants may be held or exercised by the Director, provided that until such exercise any such rights or warrants and after such exercise any shares or other securities acquired by the exercise of such rights or warrants will be considered to be unvested Restricted Stock Units and will be subject to all of the conditions and restrictions which were applicable to the Prior Units pursuant to the Plan and this Agreement. The Committee in its absolute discretion at any time may accelerate the vesting of all or any portion of such new or additional units, cash or securities, rights or warrants to purchase securities or shares or other securities acquired by the exercise of such rights or warrants.

12. Address for Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement will be addressed to the Company, in care of the Company’s Stock Administration Department, at Quantum Corporation, 1650 Technology Drive, Suite 800, San Jose, CA 95110, or at such other address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing.
