THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of the _____________ by and between Adobe Systems Incorporated (the “Company”) and XXXXXXXXX (the “Participant”).

The Company desires to issue and Participant desires to acquire stock of the Company as herein described, pursuant to the Company’s 1994 Performance and Restricted Stock Plan (the “Plan”), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Capitalized terms in the Agreement shall have the meaning set forth in paragraph 3 hereto.

IT IS AGREED between the parties as follows:

1. Issuance of Shares. On the effective date of this Agreement as set forth above, the Participant will acquire and the Company will issue, subject to the provisions hereof XXX shares of its common stock in consideration for the Participant’s service with the Company.

2. Vesting and Unvested Share Reacquisition Right.

(a) Vesting.

(i) The method of determining Vested Shares and Unvested Shares shall be as set forth on Exhibit A hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Full Acceleration of Vesting Event occurs, any Unvested Shares shall become Vested Shares immediately before the Full Acceleration of Vesting Event or at such earlier time as the Board may determine. If a Partial Acceleration of Vesting Event occurs the number of Vested Shares shall be determined as if the Participant’s Termination occurred one (1) year after the Participant’s actual Termination.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, all Unvested Shares shall become Vested Shares immediately before the death or Total Disability of the Participant, if such death or Total Disability occurs while the Participant is employed by a Participating Company.

(iii) In the event that the acceleration of the vesting of the Unvested Shares pursuant to paragraph 2(a)(i) or (ii) will result in a “parachute payment” as defined in section 280G of the Code notwithstanding paragraph 2(a)(i) or (ii), the extent to which vesting will be accelerated in connection with a Vesting Acceleration Event, death or Total Disability shall not exceed the amount of vesting which produces the greatest after-tax benefit to the Participant as determined by the Company in a fair and equitable manner.

(b) Unvested Share Reacquisition Right. In the event the Participant’s employment with the Participating Company Group is terminated for any reason, with or without Cause, or if the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative attempts to sell, exchange, transfer (including, without limitation, any transfer to a nominee or agent of the Participant), pledge or otherwise dispose of (other than pursuant to a Change of Control Event described in paragraph 3(d)(iii) or an Option Exercise described in paragraph 2(d)) any shares of Stock which are Unvested Shares, the Control Company shall automatically reacquire the Unvested Shares and the Participant shall not be entitled to any payment therefor. The Control Company shall have the right to

assign the Unvested Share Reacquisition Right at any time prior to the time such right is no longer contingent, to one or more persons as may be selected by the Company.

(c) Continuation of Unvested Share Reacquisition Right following a Change of Control Event. In the event of a Change of Control Event, the Unvested Share Reacquisition Right shall continue in full force and effect, subject to the provisions of paragraph 2(a)(i); provided, however that “employment with the Participating Company Group” for purposes of this Agreement shall include all service with any corporation which was a Participating Company at the time the services were rendered, whether or not the corporation was included within such term both before and after the event constituting the Change of Control Event.

(d) Option Exercise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Participant may transfer to the Company while the Stock remains subject to the Unvested Share Reacquisition Right any or all of the Stock as payment of the exercise price in connection with an Option Exercise, provided that (i) such payment is made in accordance with the terms of the related option agreement and the plan pursuant to which the option was granted and (ii) a number of the shares issued on such Option Exercise which are equal to the number of whole shares of Stock transferred to the Company for such payment will remain subject to the Unvested Share Reacquisition Right.

9. Rights as a Shareholder or Employee. The Participant shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to the Stock until the date of the issuance of a certificate or certificates for the Stock. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate or certificates are issued, except as provided in paragraph 8 (“Effect of Change in Company’s Capital Structure”). Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the employ of a Participating Company or interfere in any way with any right of the Participating Company to terminate the Participant’s employment at any time.

10. Withholding.

(a) Withholding Requirement. At the time that this Agreement is executed, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, Participant shall make adequate provision for federal and state tax withholding obligations of the Company, if any, which arise in connection with the acquisition of shares of Stock under the Plan, including, without limitation, obligations arising upon (i) the transfer, in whole or in part, of any shares of Stock, (ii) the lapse of any restriction with respect to any shares of Stock acquired hereby, or (iii) the filing of an election to recognize a tax liability.

(b) Election to Withhold Shares. The federal and state taxes required to be withheld or collected from the Participant in connection with the acquisition of shares of Stock under the Plan, including, without limitation, upon the lapse of any restriction with respect to any shares of Stock acquired under the Plan or upon the filing of an election to recognize a tax liability (such applicable event upon which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined being referred to herein as the “Tax Date”), may be satisfied, in whole or in part, by the withholding of a sufficient number of shares of Stock which, valued at fair market value on the Tax Date, would be equal to the total withholding obligation of the Participant; provided, however, that no person who is subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), may elect to satisfy the withholding of federal and state taxes in connection with the acquisition of shares of Stock under the Plan by the withholding of shares of Stock unless such election complies with any conditions or restrictions imposed by the Board, including conditions or restrictions to ensure compliance with the requirements of Rule 16b-3(e) as promulgated pursuant to the Exchange Act, and is made either (i) at

least six (6) months prior to the applicable Tax Date or (ii) during any of the periods beginning on the third (3rd) business day following the date on which the Company issues a news release containing the operating results of a fiscal quarter or fiscal year and ending on the twelfth (12th) business day following such date. The Board shall adopt rules governing the election to withhold shares of Stock described in this paragraph 10(b), which may include, without limitation, rules requiring that any such election shall be made on or before the Tax Date, shall be irrevocable, shall be subject to the disapproval of the Board and shall be deemed made upon receipt of notice thereof by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, delivered in person or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. In addition, if the Participant is a person subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, such election shall state the number of shares to be withheld or specify a formula pursuant to which such number may be determined and may not be made within six (6) months of the grant of the Stock award (except in the event of the death or disability of the Participant).

11. Compliance with Securities Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction authority deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance of the Stock hereunder shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the non-issuance of the Stock as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

12. Shareholder Approval. Any shares which are granted prior to approval of the Plan, or any amendment thereto, by the Company’s shareholders as provided by Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, shall be contingent upon such shareholder approval and the Participant shall have no right to sell or transfer the Stock prior to such approval. In the event such shareholder approval is not obtained within one (1) year of the Grant Date, the issuance of the Stock shall be null and void and the certificates representing the Stock shall be returned to the Company for cancellation.

13. Further Instruments. The parties agree to execute such further instruments and to take such further action as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement.

14. Notice. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery or upon telegraphic delivery, or upon delivery by certified mail, addressed to the other party hereto at his address shown below his signature or at such other address as such party may designate by ten days advance written notice to all other parties hereto.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
