Vesting: You will receive a benefit with respect to a ZSU only if it vests. Two vesting requirements must be satisfied on or before the Expiration Date specified above in order for a ZSU to vest — a time and service-based requirement (the "Time-Based Requirement") and the "Liquidity Event Requirement" (described below). Your ZSUs will not vest (in whole or in part) if only one (or if neither) of such requirements is satisfied on or before the Expiration Date. If both the Time-Based Requirement and the Liquidity Event Requirement are satisfied on or before the Expiration Date, the vesting date ("Vesting Date") of a ZSU will be the first date upon which both of those requirements were satisfied with respect to that particular ZSU.
Liquidity Event Requirement: The Liquidity Event Requirement will be satisfied (as to any then-outstanding ZSUs that have not theretofore been terminated pursuant to Section 3 of the ZSU Agreement) on the first to occur of: (1) an underwritten public offering by the Company of its securities that is registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (an "IPO"), or (2) a Change of Control.
Time-Based Requirement: The Time-Based Requirement will be satisfied in installments as to the ZSUs as follows: (1) the requirement will be satisfied as to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Total Number of ZSUs subject to the award on the one year anniversary of the Vest Start Date, and (2) on each subsequent three (3) month anniversary of the Vest Start Date (continuing for three years from the one year anniversary of the Vest Start Date) an additional 1/16th of the Total Number of ZSUs will vest; in each case subject to Section 3 of the Notice of Grant.
Settlement: If a ZSU vests as provided for above, the Company will deliver one Share for that ZSU unless at the time of settlement the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines that settlement shall, in whole or in part, be in the form of cash, based on the then Fair Market Value of a Share of the Company's Class B Common Stock. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, settlement of ZSUs that become Vested ZSUs upon a Change of Control will be made in Shares, unless otherwise specified in the definitive agreement for such Change of Control. Settlement will occur not later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months following the end of the year in which the Vesting Date applicable to that ZSU occurs

Participant understands that his or her employment or consulting relationship with the Company is for an unspecified duration, can be Terminated at any time (i.e., is "at-will"), and that nothing in this Notice of Grant, the ZSU Agreement or the Plan changes the at-will nature of that relationship. Participant acknowledges that the vesting of the ZSUs pursuant to this Notice of Grant is conditioned on the satisfaction of the Time-Based Requirement and the occurrence, on or before the Expiration Date of an IPO or Change of Control. Participant will have no right with respect to the ZSUs to the extent an IPO or Change of Control does not occur on or before the Expiration Date (regardless of the extent to which the Time-Based Requirement was satisfied).
By your signature and the signature of the Company's representative below, you and the Company agree that this ZSU is granted under and governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan, this Notice of Grant and the ZSU Agreement. You agree that you have reviewed the Plan, this Notice of Grant and the ZSU Agreement in their entirety, have had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Notice of Grant, and fully understand all provisions of the Plan, this Notice of Grant and the ZSU Agreement. You hereby agree to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Committee upon any questions relating to the Plan, this Notice of Grant and the ZSU Agreement. You further agree to notify the Company upon any change in your residence address.

Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Company's 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan") or in the related Notice of Grant, as the case may be, shall have the same defined meanings in this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the "Agreement").
1. No Stockholder Rights. Unless and until such time as Shares are issued in settlement of vested ZSUs, Participant shall have no ownership of the Shares (including, without limitation, voting rights). Further, Participant shall have no right to dividends (or as to any adjustment for dividends, other than stock dividends) as to any dividend record date that occurs before such Shares are issued in settlement of vested ZSUs.
2. No Transfer. The ZSUs and any interest therein shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of.
3. Termination. If Participant's service is Terminated for any reason, all ZSUs as to which the Time-Based Requirement has not been satisfied as of the date of such Termination shall automatically terminate upon such Termination. In such event, any ZSUs as to which the Time-Based Requirement had been satisfied will (if an IPO or Change of Control had not occurred) remain outstanding until the first to occur of an IPO, Change of Control, or the Expiration Date In case of any dispute as to whether a Termination of Participant's service has occurred, the Committee shall have sole discretion to determine whether such Termination has occurred and the effective date of such Termination. Further, if an IPO or Change of Control does not occur on or before the Expiration Date, all ZSUs (regardless of whether or not, or the extent to which, the Time-Based Requirement had been satisfied as to such ZSUs) shall automatically terminate upon such Expiration Date. Upon a termination of one or more ZSUs pursuant to this Section 4, Participant shall have no further right with respect to such ZSUs.

5. Withholding of Tax. When the ZSUs are vested and/or settled, the fair market value of the Shares is treated as income subject to withholding by the Company for income and employment taxes. The Company shall, in its discretion, withhold an amount equal to the tax due at vesting and/or settlement from the Participant's other compensation or require Participant to remit to the Company an amount equal to the tax then due. In its sole discretion and subject to all applicable laws, the Company may instead withhold a number of Shares with a fair market value (determined on the date the Shares are issued) equal to the minimum amount the Company is then required to withhold for taxes. Participant acknowledges that there will be tax consequences upon vesting and/or settlement of the ZSUs and/or disposition of the Shares, if any, received in connection therewith, and Participant should consult a tax adviser regarding Participant's tax obligations prior to such settlement or disposition.

(ii) Exercise of Right of First Refusal. At any time within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice, the Company and/or its assignee(s) may, by giving written notice to the Holder, elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares proposed to be transferred to any one or more of the Proposed Transferees, at the purchase price determined in accordance with subsection (iii) below.
(iii) Purchase Price. The purchase price ("Purchase Price") for the Shares purchased by the Company or its assignee(s) shall be the Offered Price.

If the Shares described in the Notice are not transferred to the Proposed Transferee within such period, or if the Holder proposes to change the price or other terms to make them more favorable to the Proposed Transferee, a new Notice shall be given to the Company, and the Company and/or its assignees shall again be offered the Right of First Refusal before any Shares held by the Holder may be sold or otherwise transferred.
(b) Involuntary Transfer.
(i) Company's Right to Purchase upon Involuntary Transfer. In the event, at any time after the date of this Agreement, of any transfer by operation of law or other involuntary transfer (including death or divorce) of all or a portion of the Shares by the record holder thereof, the Company shall have an option to purchase all of the Shares transferred at the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of transfer.

Participant (or the beneficiary or personal representative of Participant in the event of Participant's death or incapacity, as the case may be) shall deliver to the Company any representations or other documents or assurances as the Company may deem necessary or reasonably desirable to ensure compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

3
Notice of Grant may be amended pursuant to Section 21 of the Plan. Such amendment must be in writing and signed by the Company. The Company may, however, unilaterally waive any provision hereof or of the Notice of Grant in writing to the extent such waiver does not adversely affect the interests of the Participant hereunder, but no such waiver shall operate as or be construed to be a subsequent waiver of the same provision or a waiver of any other provision hereof.
