TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1.    Grant of Restricted Stock. Subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, the Company hereby grants you the Restricted Stock as set forth on the first page of this Agreement. Shares issued pursuant this Award will be registered in your name and evidenced by one or more certificates delivered to and deposited with the Secretary of the Company as escrow agent or, at the discretion of the Company, held in a restricted book entry account in lieu of issuing a certificate or certificates. Such certificates or such book entry shares are to be held by the escrow agent until the Restricted Stock vests, at which time the escrow agent will release the vested Shares, or is forfeited; provided, however, that a portion of the Shares may be surrendered in payment of required withholding taxes in accordance with Section 8(b) below, unless alternative procedures for the payment of required withholding taxes are established by the Company.

2.    Vesting. The Restricted Stock will vest in accordance with the schedule set out on the first page of this Agreement and will become fully vested, to the extent not already vested, upon your Termination of Service on account of your death or Disability, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Plan.

3.    Forfeiture of Restricted Stock upon Termination of Service. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Plan, upon your Termination of Service, you will forfeit all of the Restricted Stock that is not vested as of the date of your Termination of Service.

4.    Forfeiture of Restricted Stock upon Section 83(b) Election. As permitted under Section 15.6 of the Plan, this Award is conditioned upon and subject to your not making an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to the Restricted Stock. If you make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to any of the Restricted Stock, you will forfeit such Restricted Stock.

5.    Forfeiture of Restricted Stock for Awards Not Timely Accepted. This Award is conditioned upon and subject to your accepting the Award by signing and delivering to the Company this Agreement no later than the first date Shares are scheduled to vest pursuant to the Award. In the event of your death or incapacitation prior to accepting the Award, the Company will deem the Award as being accepted. If the Company issues the Restricted Stock pursuant to an Award prior to your acceptance of the Award, and if you fail to accept the Award within the time described above, you will forfeit such Restricted Stock.

6.    Settlement of Restricted Stock. As soon as administratively practicable following the vesting of any portion of this Award, the Company shall deliver to you (or, in the event of your death, to your estate or, if the Committee establishes a beneficiary designation procedure pursuant to Section 11 of the Plan, to any beneficiary that you have designated pursuant to such procedure) one or more certificates for the vested Shares or in the Company's discretion may cause the vested Shares to be deposited in an account maintained by a broker designated by the Company.

7.    Responsibility for Taxes.

(a)    For purposes of this Agreement, “Tax-Related Items” means any or all income tax, social insurance tax, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items that may be applicable to this Award by law or regulation of any governmental authority, whether federal, state or local, domestic or foreign. Regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to withholding Tax-Related Items, you acknowledge that you are ultimately responsible for all Tax-Related Items and that such Tax-Related Items may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. You further acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock, including, without limitation, the grant, vesting or release of the Restricted Stock, the subsequent sale of Shares and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents pursuant to Shares; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or to achieve any particular tax result. Furthermore, if you have become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable event, you acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (or former Employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

(b)    Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (1) withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Employer; or (2) selling or arranging for the sale of Shares that you acquire under the Plan; or (3) withholding of Shares consistent with the “Share Withholding” provisions under Section 13.2 of the Plan.

(c)    Depending upon the withholding method, the Company or the Employer may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum or maximum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. In the event Tax-Related Items are over-withheld, you will receive a refund in cash for any over-withheld amounts and will have no entitlement to the Shares equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding of Shares, you shall be deemed, for tax purposes, to have been issued the full number of Shares, notwithstanding that a number of Shares is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of your participation in the Plan.

(d)    You shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to honor the vesting of the Restricted Stock and refuse to release from escrow the Shares if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

8.    Transfer of Restricted Stock. The Restricted Stock and any rights under this Agreement may not be assigned, pledged as collateral or otherwise transferred, except as permitted by the Plan, nor may the Restricted Stock or such rights be subject to attachment, execution or other judicial process until the Restricted Stock becomes vested pursuant to Section 2 above. In the event of any attempt to assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of the Restricted Stock which is not then vested, or any rights under this Agreement, except as permitted by the Plan, or in the event of the levy of any attachment, execution or similar judicial process upon the rights or interests with respect to the Restricted Stock which is not then vested, the Committee may in its discretion, upon notice to you, cause you to forfeit such Restricted Stock.

9.    Rights Prior to Vesting of Shares of Restricted Stock.

(a)    You will have at all times all rights as a shareholder with respect to the Restricted Stock, including, but not limited to, voting rights and rights to receive dividends, except for the right to transfer the Restricted Stock as set forth in Section 9 above; provided, however, that any dividends on the Restricted Stock will be automatically deferred and reinvested in additional Restricted Stock subject to the same restrictions as the underlying Restricted Stock.

(b)    In the event of a change in capitalization within the meaning of Section 4.3 of the Plan, the number and class of Shares or other securities that you are entitled to pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted or changed as determined by the Committee to reflect the change in capitalization, provided that any such additional Shares or additional or different shares of securities shall remain subject to the restrictions in this Agreement.

10.    Termination of Service.

(a)    Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Plan, for purposes of this Agreement “Termination of Service” means the discontinuance of your relationship with the Company as an employee of the Company or the Employer or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company under the Plan or as a member of the Board of Directors of Cree, Inc. Except as determined otherwise by the Committee, you will not be deemed to have incurred a Termination of Service if the capacity in which you provide services to the Company changes (for example, you change from being a non-employee director to being an employee) or if you transfer employment among the various subsidiaries or affiliates of the Company constituting the Employer, so long as there is no interruption in your provision of services to the Company or other Employer as an employee or as a non-employee member of the Board of Directors of Cree, Inc. The Committee, in its discretion, will determine whether you have incurred a Termination of Service. You will not be deemed to have incurred a Termination of Service during a period for which you are on military leave, sick leave, or other leave of absence approved by the Employer.

(b)    If you are deemed to have incurred a Termination of Service other than a Termination of Service on account of your death or Disability, your right to vest in the Restricted Stock under this Agreement or the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that you are no longer actively providing services to the Company or one of its subsidiaries or affiliates (regardless of the reason for the termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any), and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under the employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any); the Committee, in its discretion, will determine when you are no longer actively providing services for purposes of this Award (including whether you may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence).

11.    Provisions of the Plan. The provisions of the Plan are incorporated by reference in this Agreement as if set out in full in this Agreement. To the extent that any conflict may exist between any other provision of this Agreement and a provision of the Plan, the Plan provision will control. All decisions of the Committee with respect to the interpretation, construction and application of the Plan or this Agreement shall be final, conclusive and binding upon you and the Company.

12.    Detrimental Activity. The Committee in its sole discretion may cancel and cause to be forfeited any Shares of the Restricted Stock not previously vested or released from escrow under this Agreement if you engage in any "Detrimental Activity” (as defined below). In addition, if you engage in any Detrimental Activity prior to or within one (1) year after your Termination of Service, the Committee in its sole discretion may require you to pay to the Company the amount of all gain you realized from any vesting of Shares of the Restricted Stock beginning six (6) months prior to your Termination of Service, provided that the Committee gives you notice of such requirement within one (1) year after your Termination of Service. In that event, the Company will be entitled to setoff such amount against any amount the Company owes to you, in addition to any other rights the Company may have. For purposes of this section:

(a)    “Company” includes Cree, Inc. and all other Employers under the Plan.

(b)    “Detrimental Activity” means any of the following conduct, as determined by the Committee in good faith:

(1)    the performance of services for any Competing Business (as defined below), whether as an employee, officer, director, consultant, agent, contractor or in any other capacity, except to the extent expressly permitted by any written agreement between you and the Company;

(2)    the unauthorized disclosure or use of any trade secrets or other confidential information of the Company;

(3)    any attempt to induce an employee to leave employment with the Company to perform services elsewhere, or any attempt to cause a customer or supplier of the Company to curtail or cancel its business with the Company;

(4)    breach of any confidentiality, noncompetition, nonsolicitation or nondisparagement obligations, or any obligations relating to the disclosure, assignment or protection of inventions, undertaken by you in any written agreement between you and the Company; or

(5)    any act of fraud, misappropriation, embezzlement, or tortious or criminal behavior that adversely impacts the Company.

(c)    “Competing Business” means any corporation, partnership, university, government agency or other entity or person (other than the Company) that is conducting research directed to, developing, manufacturing, marketing, distributing, or selling any product, service, or technology that is competitive with any part of the Company's Business (as defined below). "Company's Business" means the development, manufacture, marketing, distribution, or sale of, or the conduct of research directed to, any product, service, or technology that the Company is developing, manufacturing, marketing, distributing, selling, or conducting research directed to, at any time during your employment or other relationship with the Company, except that following your Termination of Service the Company's Business will be determined as of the time of such termination. As of the effective date of this Agreement, the Company's Business includes but is not limited to the conduct of research directed to, development, manufacture, marketing, distribution, and/or sale of the following products, services, and technologies: (1) silicon carbide (SiC) materials for electronic applications; (2) SiC materials for gemstone applications; (3) AIII nitride materials for electronic applications; (4) light-emitting diode (LED) devices and components; (5) power semiconductor devices made using SiC and/or AIII nitride materials and components incorporating such devices; (6) radio frequency (RF) and microwave devices made using SiC and/or AIII nitride materials and components and modules incorporating such devices; (7) LED backlights for liquid crystal displays (LCDs); (8) lighting products, modules, fixtures or devices incorporating any of the above materials or technology; and (9) other semiconductor devices made using SiC and/or AIII nitride materials and components incorporating such devices. You acknowledge that during your employment or other relationship with the Company the Company's Business may expand or change and you agree that any such expansions and changes shall expand or contract the definition of the Company's Business accordingly.

13.    Data Privacy. You hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this Agreement and any other grant materials (“Data”) by and among, as applicable, your Employer, the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.

You understand that the Employer holds or may hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, position title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of the Restricted Stock or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.

You understand that Data may be transferred to any third parties as may be selected by the Company currently or in the future, which are assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. You understand that these recipients may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipient's country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. You understand that you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the Company's Stock Plan Administrator. You authorize the Company and any other possible recipients that may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party whom you subsequently may elect to deposit any Shares acquired under the Plan. You understand that Data will be held pursuant to this Agreement only as long as the Company considers it necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan. You understand that you may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents above, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the Company's Stock Plan Administrator. Further, you understand that you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If you do not consent, your employment status or service and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be able to grant you the Restricted Stock or any other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, you acknowledge, however, that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you may contact the Stock Plan Administrator of the Company.

14.    Language. If you have received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the translated version differs in meaning from the English version, the English version will control.

Signed documents delivered to either party via facsimile or in portable document format will have the same effect as an original, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

(i)    You acknowledge, represent and warrant to the Company, and agree with the Company, that (i) except for information provided in the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and in the Company's current prospectus relating to the Plan, you have not relied and will not rely upon the Committee, the Company, an Employer or any employee or agent of the Company or an Employer in determining whether to accept the Restricted Stock, or in connection with any disposition of Shares obtained pursuant to the Restricted Stock Award, or with respect to any tax consequences related to the grant of the Restricted Stock or the disposition of Shares obtained pursuant to the Restricted Stock Award; and (ii) you will seek from your own professional advisors such investment, tax and other advice as you believe necessary.

(j)    You acknowledge that you may incur a substantial tax liability as a result of vesting of the Restricted Stock.
